“Tara’s home was a large environment with plenty of backyard conducive to dog boarding. Her children took to our pups lovingly and playfully. We left them feeling comfortable about their care. Our return flight from San Diego was delayed 2+ hrs due to Extreme Heat; this made it literally impossible to make our connection home & meant an extra day before finally got home. Tara adjusted to that no problem, adding another night’s charges while we waited for them to get home from their son’s ballgame. We recvd one photo from Tara while gone and a couple brief “they are doing fine” without details we would like to have heard more. We gave her a full additional day’s charges in cash as a tip when we picked our pups up. We can recommend her to others and would utilize her again as needed.”
“Wonderful and attentive care givers for my senior dog. I received daily updates, they were perfect! We were afraid she wouldn’t want to come home, she received so much love and attention!”
“We loved boarding our Everitt with Cory. He was very in tune and experienced with dogs and how they act and was understanding of our young dog’s behavior. When we picked her up we could tell she was well cared for and happy with her stay. We would use him again and would recommend him to anybody that is looking for somebody”
“My pup slept all night after I got her back so I know she had fun playing with the other pups. Good contact during the stay with photos. Happy with my visit and last minute availability.”
“April and her kids were amazing with Teddy! She did a meet and greet before our trip and kept us up to date throughout our vacation. We will definitely use her again for upcoming trips.”
“We would definitely use Agnatha again. Our girl doesn't like when we leave her with other people but she did really good with Agnatha! Agnatha was very responsive when I messaged her, she set up a meet and greet well in advance of our trip, and sent photos and updates everyday we were gone!”
“"Heather was absolutely wonderful with Lucky! It’s never easy leaving him, but she made me feel so comfortable. He was well-loved and well-cared for the entire time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!"”
“Anne did a wonderful job of taking care of our old lady dog. You can tell Anne genuinely loves dogs and enjoys spending time with them. She sent a daily detailed update and pictures. Our old lady can be picky and sassy and Anne did a wonderful job with her. We will definitely be repeat customers, our dog was treated like a queen.”
“Alexa was exactly what I needed to care for my Cat! As a first-time cat owner, I was really concerned of how my cat would respond to separated from me. Alexa immediately recognized her demeanor when I dropped her off and gave me the reassurance that I needed to know she was going to be okay. Alexa sent me photos through out the days we were apart and her bubbly personality made it easier knowing my cat was in the right hands. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Christine did a fantastic job with my dogos they were happy and joyful. The pictures she sent throughout the time ahead had them where great . Im glad my dogs had fun and I would definitely return to her in the future.”
About: I grew up on a small farm with a bunch of different animals, and I'm always up for a challenge. I've had a soft spot for dogs, and I've learned to care for them with a patient, gentle touch. I've worked with rescues, seniors, and puppies and, I'm happy to learn each dog's routines, ease their anxiety, help them eat, or keep up their training. I'm also comfortable administering medications and bathing animals. I know how hard it is to find the right sitter. I struggled with it myself back when I had my rescue dogs. I want to be the person who shows up, respects their boundaries and routines, and gives the dog the best chance to be happy and comfortable while in my care! I work from home, with a flexible schedule, so I'm pretty open when it comes to walks, daycare, boarding, or house sitting. I'm happy to board at my home, I just ask that I've met your dog beforehand and that they're potty trained. I don't currently have any pets in my home, which makes for a good fit for dogs who need to be the only animal or just do better on their own. I do have a small fenced area in the backyard where they can be off leash as well. I'm very detail-oriented, and am good at figuring out what each dog needs to feel secure in a new environment. I'll always do my best to follow the guidelines you've already set for your animal, and I'll keep you updated along the way so you know how they're doing.
“We were so lucky to have connected with such a great family at the last minute when our original sitter fell through. They helped him get warmed up with a meet and greet and then our 3 month old pup was excited to go back the next day to stay. He found his home away from for a week and was sad leaving his new friends. Diana and her family took great care of our boy while we were on vacation, helped house train him, and taught him a few commands. It was nice having peace of mind that he was in good hands and getting updates and pictures while we were missing our fur baby. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!”
“Rose did a wonderful job watching our Ember! She stayed with her for 5 days while we were out of town, sent lots of pictures, and kept me updated. When we met prior to Ember’s stay, I could see her love of dogs in her manner of communicating with Ember. Rose strikes me as one of those people that just has a special connection and understanding of dogs that goes beyond what normal people see. She also has dogs of her own so I was happy Ember had some friends to play with! I will happily entrust her to watch Ember again for our future travels. Thank you so much Rose! ?”
“I definitely recommend Kayla, she took care of my labrador puppy Arya for 4 nights. When I brought Arya she did not walk with her leash because she did not want to and when I went to look for her Kayla had taught her. Kayla take care of her with a lot of love, teach her new things, trained Arya and help her share with other dogs and cats. I am very satisfied and happy to be able to entrust the care of my baby Arya to such a committed person. Arya was really happy and have a great time, Kayla even give her new toys!!”

“Jessica was a fantastic sitter for Moose! I would absolutely recommend her again and again to care for your pups. She kept me updated regularly with photos and videos, and treated Moose like he was one of her own. Sounds like they may even be getting a Great Dane themselves! Thank you again, Jessica and family!”

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 Zulu 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 Zulu 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 Zulu.
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 Zulu. On Rover:

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 Zulu 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 IN 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.
