“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.”
“This was my first time boarding my dogs and I was very worried with how they’d react being away, but Cristi was amazing! Her and her daughter are very sweet, caring and gave lots of love while looking after my girls. Cristi has a lovely home with plenty of space for the dogs, so there was no worry of them being cramped or uncomfortable. They are also great at communicating, which put me at ease while I was away. I will definitely be booking with Cristi again.”
“Buddy absolutely loved Tina. She sent me photos while we were gone and I could tell he was relaxed and happy. She kept me updated on how he was doing and made sure to find out all she needed to know about him beforehand. Her home has ample dog beds and toy’s available for him as well as a nicer fenced in backyard for him to run around. I would highly recommend Tina and will definitely be scheduling with her for our next trip.”
“Ashleigh was exceptionally caring and looked after Teddy like he was one of her own! Very good communication and I will definitely be sending my friends and family her way.”
“Sierra was friendly, trustworthy and experienced from the first moment! I had never left my big boy with anyone besides family and was nervous, but she sent me updates and took great care of him. It’s such a relief to have someone we can trust when we need them!”
“Elizabeth did a wonderful job taking care of Sofie. She even got Sofie to go on a walk, which she usually will do only with me! Elizabeth sent frequent photos as this was Sofie's first time staying with her and her boys. The whole family was very loving and caring towards Sofie.”
“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!”
“My dog stayed with Joe for 2 weeks which is the longest time I have ever left her with someone. She came back very happy and healthy. Joe frequently sent me pictures which was very reassuring to me. I heartily reject Joe as a Dogsitter!”
“I had the good fortune of finding Deanna! She has established a safe and dog friendly haven that caters to the enjoyment of many breeds. Deanna goes above and beyond to understand the preferences and needs of your fur baby, ensuring a caring experience. I not only recommend but will use her services again.”
“I used Dana for the first time and she was great! She sent pictures while I was out of town and was very responsive. Romeo loved being around her kids and the other dogs. I will definitely use her again. She took very good care of my little guy.”
“Karen was awesome with Belle! She sent me pictures every other day and Belle loved playing with her dogs too. I was very happy with boarding my Belle with her, she has a repeat customer in me!”
“Rene was great!! Watched our boy for a week & he can be a handful at times. She has a lot of land; we know Archie had a blast being outside! She updated us every day with some photos so we were reassured it was going well. Would definitely recommend!”
“Angie was wonderful with our one year old mini bernedoodle Reggie. This was only the second time he stayed in someone’s house and the first time with Angie ! She’s a happy, very positive person and gave Reggie lots of TLC while we were away. She also had to administer pills to him and she wasn’t bothered by that at all. We plan to use her services again in January 2026.”
“Arya was wonderful with the care of my dog. He took instructions well on how to adjust to my dog's temperament and anxiety. Very attentive and loving, he truly cares for your dog as if it was his own. Communication was great with pictures and videos. Would highly recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of neighbor, friends, and family’s pets since I was a teenager. I have a 3 and 9 year old who love animals just as much as I do. I am not currently working, so I have an endless amount of time to spend with your pets and give them all the attention they deserve! I have two friendly pups to keep your pets company. I have a 3 and 9 year old who are gentle and love animals! We live in a low traffic area which is great for long safe walks!
“Our dogs love their ‘vacations’ with Bill, Mary, and Ashley. They are well cared for; it’s obvious this family loves dogs! They have a huge fenced in area for outdoor time, and send photos while you’re away. Highly recommend!”
“This is our second time booking with Kylee and Mike and we know our little girl, Maple, is in good hands with them! They send lots of pictures for good piece of mind.”
“I’m always hesitant about leaving my old boy with anybody. He’s a quirky old man set in his ways. All my worries were put to rest because Jill took all my concerns seriously and addressed all of them. They even took him to a block party which I’m sure he loved because he’s a nosy old boy too.I will be very comfortable leaving my mutt with her again.”

Sierra is absolutely lovely! She was very friendly and kind to all of us, and I can tell that the puppies had a very pleasant time staying with her! It was a wonderful surprise to also get party pictures of the pups for New Years! They looked super special in their party hats! Would highly recommend Sierra to anyone looking for an amazing dog sitter!

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 Atherton 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 Atherton.
<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 Atherton 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 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.
