“Myra was great! She communicated well. Coco seemed to be so happy when she sent videos and pictures. When we arrived to get her she had been well taken care of. I appreciate her taking care of our baby. This was the very first time she has been away from us and we were nervous, but Myra did a great a job. We will definitely be using her again. We really appreciate her.”
“Very glad to have such nice care for Toby at Sylvia’s home . He was made to feel comfortable and I received many pictures during his stay . He’s a senior and seemed to handle being with the other dogs who came and went . Thanks for your special care during his stay .”
“Anita thank you so very much for taking care of our precious Ella!!!!! I highly recommend Anita, she has such a sweet spirt, friendly and very professional. We felt very comfortable and relax while on our 5-day vacation, because she provided daily pictures of Ella and kept us updated. Thanks a Million, you are the best.”
“Todd & Gail took great care of our little dog! Todd & Gail provided updates and we never were worried about our dog being safe. Will definitely use their services again in needed. Thanks again Todd & Gail!”
“This is our 2nd time leaving our boy with Brett & Stephanie. He is always very well taken care of. We appreciate the regular updates & photos while we're away. He gets all the cuddles & socialization in a safe and loving environment. Nasir is always happy but exhausted when we get him home-lol. We trust, appreciate & recommend 100%!”
“Gage was an awesome dog-sitter, he provided 2x’s a day updates that allowed my husband and I to have peace of mind while away from our pet-child. His communication was outstanding and I would definitely bring my pet back to him next time!”
“Shoshana is the absolute best! I have a senior dog that needs a little extra attention and she (and her great kids) has been willing to provide the amazing care for her. I can't recommend anyone higher to watch over furry companions. I will always use her as my sitter as long as my dog is still able to be left for a few days.”
“She is an amazing sitter. I booked the wrong dates and she was still able to accommodate my needs. Daily updates about my pets. I will definitely be using her services again 10/10”
“This was my first time using this service, and it was an emergency. I'm really pleased with how easy it was and the quick responses from the sitters.

Cash had a great time and that kept me at ease my whole trip!!! Definitely will be booking with her again soon!!”
“We can’t say enough good things about Myla and Jordan. They helped care for Rooster for a last minute pinch we were in and reassured us he was in good hands. They truly love animals and are well experienced in providing a safe and caring environment. They hosted our pup for a staycation at their house and we will use them again if Rooster joins us again in Memphis.”
“Kelly was awesome with Oakley. It was very last minute for us being from out of town. Sent us pictures and stayed in contact the entire time. Will definitely have her dog sit for us when we're in Olive Branch.”

“Graham and his sweet family took amazing care of my girl while I was traveling. His daughter really fell in love with Ginger, it seems, and his dog, Toby, provided canine companionship. I felt so secure and calm knowing that Ginger was in a good place while I was gone. I will definitely rebook with this sitter! Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life—cats were actually my first love, and I’m still a total sucker for them! While I don’t currently have a cat of my own, I’m very happy to provide drop-in care for your feline family members. At home, I have two friendly Golden Retrievers, Aspen and Indy, who enjoy having canine companions around. I work from home, so dogs staying with me get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime and companionship throughout the day. We also have a large fenced yard where they have plenty of room to safely get outside and play. I know every pet has their own personality and routine—from the social butterfly who wants constant attention to the shy one who needs time and patience to feel comfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and care for them like I would want someone to care for mine. And because I know how hard it can be to leave them, I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home, so I’m home throughout the day with my own two dogs, Aspen and Indy. This gives me plenty of flexibility for meals, potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles and lots of companionship. Pets staying with me won’t routinely be left alone for long stretches, and we also have a large fenced yard for plenty of outdoor time. I’m also available for drop-in visits depending on the location and requested time. I finish my workday in the early afternoon, so my afternoons and evenings are generally very flexible for drop-ins. Morning or daytime visits may also be possible depending on timing and distance—just send me a request and we can see if it works! In my home, I try to keep your pet’s routine as close to what they’re used to as possible. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, meals, playtime, attention and plenty of cuddles. We have a large fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and my two Golden Retrievers, Aspen and Indy, are friendly and enjoy having canine companions. I can accommodate different comfort levels and personalities. If your dog enjoys being social, they can join Aspen and Indy for playtime and relaxation. If your pet is more comfortable having their own space or needs to be kept separate from other animals, I can accommodate that as well. My goal is for each pet to feel safe and comfortable rather than expecting every animal to interact. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, sleeping arrangements and any special routines or needs. I know being away from home can be stressful, so I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable and treated like part of the family while they’re here. For drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine in their own home, including feeding and fresh water, potty breaks or litter box care, medications if needed, playtime and plenty of attention and affection. I’m also happy to simply provide companionship for pets who are shy or prefer interaction on their own terms. I’ll provide photos and updates during stays or visits so you can relax knowing how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“auntie ty was amazing from the start and asked plenty of questions about my dogs to make sure they would be comfortable during their stay. she is very reliable and communicative, she sent lots and lots of pictures and videos. she made me feel very comfortable and i was at ease knowing my girls were safe in her care while i was out of town! will definitely book with her again :)”
“Jessie is the best when it comes to looking after my dogs. She is very responsive and active when it comes to updates on furry friends. Overall 10/10 pet sitter and would highly recommend!”
“She’s the best sitter in tomorrow. She’s like family to use. She is always checking on Cashmere throughout the week. We love her. She is thorough, honest and helpful. This is my 2nd fur baby. She suggests things to help me with Cashmere.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 290 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Watson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Watson can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Watson home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Watson.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Watson. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Watson sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MS ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
