“Jenn was a wonderful care giver for our two dogs! She was so patient and understanding, they can sometimes be a handful. She kept us updated daily and sent photos. We knew they were in good hands! I would definitely use her services again and recommend her to others!”
“Madison was just OUTSTANDING!! Given last minute notice she took in our 5 month old “Zumi” as we were transitioning moving from Hawai’i to Ohio. Madison sent daily pics of Zumi and took such great care of her!! Will recommend her to anyone and if needs be we’ll definitely be requesting her for any or future dog sitting!! Thank you again Madison!!!”
“Rosie had a great week! Jennifer was very accommodating and kept in touch daily. She even showed my kids around the farm. This was the first time leaving our dog and we were a little nervous, but everything went great!”
“Kelsey took great care of my 2 dogs this week! (1 pitbull &1 frenchie) it was 5 nights , they played with them and kept them fed and happy the whole time and updated me randomly and also responded quickly if I had any questions about my babies!! She does have children which has previously been an anxiety point for my pit bull.. the kids were so friendly and patient and he played well with them all weekend! Overall really happy with the turnout and that he was able to play with children in a controlled environment! Will definitely use her if we go out of town again!🩷”
“Auggie always has such a wonderful time staying with Beth. He loves his time with her and the other dogs so much, it’s like he gets his own vacation while we are away. Her communication is excellent and she always sends the best pictures and updates! I know he is always in good hands with Beth, which is why she is our go to sitter and I would recommend her 💯”

“Lisa took great care of Lulu. It usually takes her a few days to bounce back to normal after boarding, but after the week with Lisa she was her normal self right away. Eating, sleeping and playing like her normal self. Lisa was also great about communicating with us during Lulu’s stay with her. Will definitely book with Lisa again.”
“Melissa is really good. Pixie loved her stay her with Melissa. I think Pixie was a little sad leaving her😅 Melissa was amazing with letting us know Pixie was doing and she took great care of her. We used to get pictures regularly.”

About: Dogs are my favorite friends. I take care of them just like they are mine. i love giving them cuddles, kisses and yummy cold treats. Your loved ones will have the best time when they are with me. Frequent walking, playtime, and safety are my top priority when taking care of them. Of course, cuddles, food and comfy blankets/beds too! I enjoy training dogs with any kind of cool tricks. I’m currently working at home. I usually walk 3x during the day. Early morning, mid day and evening. Your furry friends will join me on my walks and have 30 mins individual play time x 2 during the day and before bed time. I have a fenced yard and a small friendly dog that will keep your dog active at all times. Water will always be filled up for them to sip on. Sunroom to keep them comfortable at all times when weather permits. When the weather gets too hot/cold, your furry bestie are going to warm up/cool off/play/rest in the basement. they are free to roam inside the house.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for several years, including my own pets as well as dogs for family and friends. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, playtime, giving medications when needed, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, including energetic puppies and older dogs who need a slower pace. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine and personality so they feel safe and cared for. I understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and affection, and I’m committed to providing reliable care while keeping pet owners updated along the way. Pet care fits easily into my daily summer routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I’m able to plan my schedule around walks, drop-ins, and making sure pets get the attention and care they need. I’m reliable with routines like feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and check-ins, and I make sure each pet gets the time and care they’re used to. In my client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment and give them plenty of attention while their owner is away. I also send updates and photos so owners know their pet is doing well. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean space with plenty of supervision, regular potty breaks, exercise by going on walks or playing in our large gulley fenced in yard. I make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for, just like they would at home.

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.
98% of sitters in Ballville 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 Ballville 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 Ballville.
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 Ballville. On Rover:

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 Ballville 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.
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.
