“Catherine and her husband (sorry, I forgot his name) were amazing! They agreed to sit Myles last minute with no hesitation. We met and Myles loved them and Pepper! Thank you so much for keeping Myles. I think you guys spoiled him too much, lol!”
“Danielle was easy to work with and set our minds at ease about leaving our newly adopted, very high energy, 7 month old puppy. Our original sitter plans fell through 2 weeks before our trip and we had never used Rover before, so we were a little nervous. Danielle allowed us to come over to her house to do a Meet and Greet before our trip and upon meeting her and her kids, we knew Bodhi would be in good hands. Bodhi took quickly to Danielle's son and we loved getting texts while we were on our trip about how he and Bodhi were cuddling on the couch watching a movie or that they were outside running around the backyard. We are so greatful for Danielle and her kids for welcoming Bodhi into their home and family for the week while we were away for a conference and would totally trust to leave Bodhi in their care again! Thank you Danielle!”
“Emily did a wonderful job with our eight month old puppy and seven year-old dog. We felt our pups were in good hands. We will definitely use Emily for our future Rover needs.”
“Isabel and her family showered my dog with attention during his stay. Lots of walks, a trip to the dog park and limitless petting - he didn't want to leave! I highly recommend Isabel to care for your pets.”
“Cornelia was so very helpful and welcoming to our dog. She allowed a last-minute booking with changes in the time of pick up. Was so quick to respond with each message sent as things were changing on our end several times. Not only that, but Cedi, our dog was loved and well-cared for during her stay. I don't have to worry. That is re-assuring to me.”
“Keith, Rebecca and family took care of our dog for over two weeks while we were traveling. They kept us assured of her well-being with daily pictures and updates. Our dog looked so comfortable and happy spending time with them! They provided a safe and great environment for keeping her active, well fed, and rested. They are super trustworthy and we will certainly seek their services in the future and highly recommend them for your pet’s needs!”
“While Olivia was very glad to be home, I know that she was well taken care of while I was gone. Doug followed the feeding instructions that I gave him and I hear that she had plenty of walking. I hope he is available for future occasions when I am gone. I have already tipped him on pick-up.”
“Awesome as always. The perfect, loving, low key environment for our golden Ellie. Susan and Doug are serious about doing the best for our baby. So many pics of Ellie smiling with toys , on walks, getting cuddles. I told DH that I thought Ellie wasn’t going to want to come home with us. Totally comfortable leaving Ellie there.”
“Our dogs can get easily stressed when away from home. When I picked them up from Madison's, they looked relaxed. They were excited to see me but also very much at ease at Madison's which was great to see. I am very glad we know Madison now and look forward to her caring for our boys again!”
About: I have been a lover of animals for as long as I can remember. From horses, to kitties, to dogs and rabbits, I’ve watched and cared for them all. I love meeting new critters! I have a very flexible schedule working retail and picking up substitute teaching so I can work with you to make sure your pets get the car they need when they need it! I have a sweet baby boy cat who has not had problems with other animals, but can play or leave alone if needed. We have a large house with plenty of room. A nice backyard as well to run and play! If I am at your home, I will follow any directions you have to make sure that your pets get the same care that you would give them!
“Jan was awesome with our Lucy! We received a lot of feedback and pictures - it was clear that Lucy was spoiled and happy. This was the least nervous I’ve ever been leaving her and the happiest Lucy has ever been at pick up!”
About: Ive had dogs ever since i was little so i have a lot of experience! i currently have 1 dog and 2 cats that i love to take on walks and care for. i would be thrilled to help others and care for their pets when needed. feel free to reach out! **I will be unable to accept last minute bookings** i require 2 weeks in advance since i'm in college and have a part time job. 2 weeks also allows plenty if time to schedule a required meet and greet :) I only care for animals outside of my house due to all the pets i have in my home ! i can give basic care, oral medications, take on walks, and prepare mental stimulating games for high energy dogs.
About: I’ve had a passion for caring for animals since I was a child. I have 25+ years experience ranging from dog walking to in-home boarding. I have two dogs of my own. I am also well-experienced with senior dogs and bring a very calm demeanor. I am currently taking a break from corporate life and have flexible availability! I am typically available any time M-F, though occasionally I travel on weekends. I have a fully fenced in yard with two dogs at home. My dogs are social and love meeting new friends! I know that it can be unsettling for a dog to stay in someone else’s home, but we’re pros at welcoming others into our pack!
“My original sitter canceled the morning before my trip. I was frantically trying to find a new sitter and Kathleen let me book quickly without hesitation. I am so thankful for that! I recieved messages and pictures while away and I could tell Myles had a great time and was well taken care of. Thanks again!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Akron
Gaby took excellent care of Otto. She sent me detailed and thoughtful updates throughout his stay which gave me great peace of mind. Gaby is clearly comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and managed a group of dogs with ease. She had so many fun activities and things for the dogs to do, I could tell Otto had a great time and really enjoyed the socialization. I would happily trust Otto in her care again anytime!
Sarah was wonderful with our super anxious pup and our complicated schedule. We were in Akron for a week (kid's sporting event) so didn't get to meet her before we dropped our dog off, but Sarah spent a lot of time trying to get to know our dynamics and needs over the phone. She was wonderful at "following the dog's lead" in the transition time and finding ways to calm her during the week including calming music, aromoatherapy and lots of treats. We enjoyed the videos (with her narration), photos and texts that she regularly sent and appreciated her transparency, communication, and hard work to ensure that our dog's stay and our comfort was her top priority. Thanks Sarah!
Caitlin was so great with my dog and made her feel at home for the weekend. Her care and attention to detail were obvious from our first meeting. She sent updates the entire weekend which gave me the peace of mind to enjoy a weekend away. Can’t recommend her enough and will be reaching out to her again!!
Our pups had a wonderful weekend and were very well cared for! Taylor has the perfect pup friendly neighborhood & fenced back yard. She was extremely kind and communicative. We felt extremely comfortable that our puppy and senior lady were in good hands and enjoying their stay! Thank you!!
The “three J’s” were great at accommodating my last minute request by quickly arranging a meet and greet. They showed interest in learning about Ziggy‘a needs and making sure he felt secure in a new setting. Superb knowledge and expertise in doggie behavior. I highly recommend and look forward to using their boarding services again!
Shannon and TJ were a godsend when I needed help last minute! My dog made himself immediately right at home with them and I could see he was having a great time snuggling up with them in the photos I got. And Sophie was such a treat to get to meet too - I appreciate her sharing her parents with Auggie! 🤍
Hailey was absolutely wonderful , took such good care of my dog Klaus, sent me pictures and updates the entire time I was away, Honestly I would of never felt comfortable Leaving Klaus if it wasn’t for Hailey ,she literally is amazing with him , She made my dog feel like Family and he had a blast playing with his new Pal pilot , I’ll be using Hailey again, I highly recommend !

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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 OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
