“KIrsten did a great job keeping my dog. i had a meet and greet before trip so I knew my dog would be in great hands. She was quick at responding and sent me pictures and updates. Kirsten was helpful when my plans changed and i needed to update dates. Will definitely rebook.”

“Elizabeth is great! My dog Calypso stayed with her for an extended weekend and Elizabeth updated me each day. Definitely will return😊Thanks again!”
“Our boys were so well taken care of and accepted as members of the family. We received regular pics and notes about our digs that allowed us to stay connected but be assured they were happy. The home was clean and super dog friendly. We would definitely hire again !”
“Scott and Katrina were wonderful! They communicated with us throughout Kona’s stay and sent lots of photos and videos, which we really appreciated. Kona loved playing with their dogs and having their beautiful backyard to run around in. Scott and Katrina were both so sweet with her, and it was obvious that Kona felt happy and comfortable with them. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!”
“We left our fur babies with Jamie for a week. We got pictures and updates multiple times a day. I’m pretty sure my boys didn’t want to come home because they were having so much fun!! I would highly recommend using Jamie to care for your animals. I felt reassured everyday that my dogs were having fun and being loved on.”
“I had a phenomenal experience with Joy! She made the process so easy, sent photo updates, and really loved on Kisa while I was away. Without hesitation I would book with her again for our next trip!”
“Bueller had a wonderful time with Karen and her family! She was extremely welcoming and made us all feel right at home. She was patient with Bueller adapting to her house and gave him lots of love. She also did a great job of providing photo updates while we were away overnight. Thanks so very much!”
“Michelle and Justin were great with communicating with us while we were gone! I got daily pictures and updates knowing my dogs were good and having a fun time. They were also super accommodating with everything. I would book with them again in the future.”
“Dawn was fantastic! She provided daily updates on my dachshund Henry so I knew he was in good hands. She cared for Henry as though he was her own dog. Would definitely rebook with Dawn.”
“Deanna provided such a great experience for my fur baby. She was very attentive to her and made her feel right at home. Deanna kept me informed of her progress and provided me with pictures and videos throughout her stay. Deanna’s dogs are very social and well behaved and welcomed my dog into their little pack. I could tell my Sofee had the time of her life. I would definitely rebook with Deanna.”
“This AMAZING family took care of our dog while we were on vacation. We had plenty of updates and photos. I was honestly surprised Bella wanted to leave! We will be using their services every time we need a sitter. Thank you so much for loving and caring for Bella!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Nicolette. She’s sweet and compassionate. She took care of my little Princess like she was her own. I know she gave her lots of love and attention and cuddle time. Princess gets two eye creams twice a day and Nicolette handled that with no problem. She gave me daily reports about how Princess was doing and she sent lots of pictures. I felt completely comfortable with Nicolette and I know she took wonderful care of my fur baby. I will definitely use her again!”
“Oh my gosh. Alyssa took such good care of my Oakley boy. I usually am worried sick when I travel but I felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I already booked another stay!”
“Emily responded quickly, sent pics of my boys playing in the yard. She said they didn't eat much the first day but that's to be expected because they get anxious being left behind. But having boarded my dog tigger before he's usually anxious for days after being picked up and didn't have that this time, so that tells me a lot. ”
“Loni was amazing and I would 100% recommend her if you need someone to love on your pet while you are away. She sent daily updates with pictures and gave us peace of mind that our sweet Dash was being well taken care of. Best experience with leaving our dog when we had to go out of town.”
“Ann is clearly a dog lover. She and my Pudgie were a perfect match. She took her on walks, let her nap on the couch, and sent me daily updates with photos. Hoping she can keep Pudgie 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 Alexandria 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 Alexandria.
<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 Alexandria 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.
