“Emily was very attentive to Mishmish's needs! She sent lots of pictures and treated him like part of her furry family. I absolutely would recommend Emily to anyone looking to board their dog in a private home.”
“The comfort of knowing that my boys were loved and cared for so well, was the best part of having them stay with Sally! We received pictures and videos all week while we vacationed - not having to worry about their well-being was so refreshing and relieving. I know these dogs will always enjoy their time with Sally. It’s like they have a vacation of their own!”
“I booked Lauren for the second time, and once again she was amazing! She takes such great care of my Xena and really caters to her needs, especially when it comes to food and routines. I love that she sends plenty of updates throughout the visit, it gives me so much peace of mind. She’s professional, attentive, and genuinely cares. I absolutely love her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
“Osa felt so comfortable staying with Taylor a second time, she is so wonderful! Also always so quick to respond to messages, sent adorable pictures, and so flexible and on time with pick ups and drop offs!”
“We had a great experience with Leslie & her family! It was our first time leaving Furley for any extended period of time and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing he was in good hands. Leslie sent daily updates and photos so we never had to worry about how he was doing. He loved playing with Leslie's dog Shiloh so much that I was afraid he wasn't going to want to come home! I would definitely use Leslie again if the need arises & I would certainly recommend her to others. ”
“We had a great experience with Megan and Jay! They provided frequent updates with pictures. Luna came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely book again.”
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Carly! She was flexible with drop off and pick up times, took him for several long walks, played with him, and sent great photo/video updates! She even wrote him a little report card 🥹 She went above and beyond and my pup can’t wait to visit her again! Thank you so much!”
“Stockton had such a great time with Maolin, and he has major separation issues. She made him feel comfortable instantly and took him on a lot of awesome adventures! Would definitely book again!”
“Kelly and Ben were absolutely wonderful with Paloma! We got lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Paloma was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. They were kind, communicative, and so easy to work with. We will definitely be booking with Kelly and Ben again! Highly recommend!”
“It is probably the best experience we had from Rover so far. They were great with Benji, he got plenty of attention and play which he needs! Also excellent updates with pics, we knew he was in good caring hands. Will definitely recommend and book again!”
“We were probably more anxious than the dogs to leave them with a stranger! This was our first time needing boarding after adopting Tiko 4yrs ago, and Bella 10yrs ago. We usually have at least one family member who stays behind for the fur babies. Bill was quick to respond, and allowed us a meet and greet before booking the stay. Their property us beautiful, with a huge fenced back yard, surrounded by cows and horses. They provided photo updates during our stay, and our pups seemed to genuinely enjoy their vacation from home. They were well cared for. We wouldn't hesitate to book again, if ever boarding is needed!”
“Karolina and her family were wonderful with our dog who can be nervous when away from home. She sent us several pictures updating us on how things were going and it was nice to see our dog settle in and get comfortable so quickly. Karolina was very flexible with our pick up time as well. I felt comfortable leaving our anxious dog with them and definitely hope to use her again in the future!”
“Dawn provided wonderful care for my Pomeranian. Really appreciated that Dawn was willing to flex to my busy schedule. She kept me informed throughout the stay. I got to enjoy my time away without worries.”
“Bethany is AMAZING!! She's so loving and caring. Chopper stayed with her on 2 separate occasions at the last minute and she cared for chopper like her own!! Definitely recommend her!!”
“This was our first time leaving Poppy with Molly. We felt very comfortable leaving Poppy with her. She was kind and understanding of all of Poppy’s needs. Molly responded quickly whenever we had a question. She will be our go to whenever we need care for Poppy again.”
“Another great job by Pam. Watched our two dogs for a week. She does a great job with keeping up with pictures and videos so that we can relax and enjoy our time away.”
“Have booked with Tamisha several times and will continue to do so! She has taken great care of my very high energy puppy. She responds quickly and has been flexible with my changes in schedule.”
“Karl is the best, and very knowledgeable about dog behavior. He sent photos of Phoebe every day during her stay with text updates, and gave us advice on training habits during our meet and greet. Board your dog at Karl's Dog BnB!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Africa
Thank you for taking such good care of our Norman. We loved receiving the pictures and knowing he was able to be part of your family for a few days. It was cute when we left that the kids came by and seemed a little sad to see him leaving. He came home totally exhausted, thanks again!
Kristine and her family watched Remi while we were away on vacation for 5 days. We received daily updates with pictures, so I never had to worry about how she was doing. We felt comfortable that she was in good hands during her stay, and I would highly recommend her. We will definitely be using her again in the future!
Savanah was fantastic! She was able to board Sugar last minute and took care of her like she was her own. Sugar always has anxiety when boarded, but seemed so happy and relaxed with Savanah. We appreciated the updates and photos she provided to us, as well! We will definitely take Sugar back. Thank you, Savanah! 💖
Second stay, and somehow even better than the first! This was our second time boarding Rocky and Koi with Nursah, and we wouldn’t trust anyone else. From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear they were exactly where they wanted to be — tails wagging, no looking back at us whatsoever (humbling, honestly). Nursah takes such incredible care of them. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs, not just as a job but as a real passion. We felt completely at ease the entire time, knowing they were in a safe, loving home environment rather than a kennel. Rocky and Koi came back happy, calm, and well-loved.
Kelsey was truly fantastic. She took amazing care of our two doodles and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She sent great pictures every day, kept us updated, and clearly gave them tons of attention. The dogs were happy, relaxed, and absolutely loved hanging out with her for a few days. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I would strongly recommend Kelsey to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pups.
Rachel and Jeff were such great sitters for our dog while my family was on vacation! They kept us updated on how our dog was, sent photos, were quick to communicate with and were flexible. I know our dog loved being them. I highly recommend, I know we’ll be using them again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Africa home-away-from-home, 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 Africa.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Africa 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 , 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 .
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 OH 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.
