“Melissa was amazing! I was nervous to leave my dog I’ve never left her with a stranger before and as soon as I met her I know it would be good. She gave me daily updates and pics which I loved and felt at ease on my vacation. Will def be booking her again if needed!🩷”
“Stephanie was amazing with our not so easy pups. She made our daycation relaxing and stress free! We got pictures and updates all day long. Would highly recommend!”
“Rikki and her family are super pleasant. She took care of our pup and I trusted her completely. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and experienced caregiver. Thank you so much, Rikki! We enjoyed our vacation and had zero worries. You rock!!”
“Debbie was very good with Rocket! We met ahead of time so he could meet her and her dog Oscar and I could tell he’d be in good hands. She sent lots of pictures of him and kept us updated on what they were up to (playing, going to the park, on walks…). SO much better than a kennel/pet lodge where he’d have spent 90% of the time alone in a room.”
“Amazing! Would highly recommend. Knew my Bear was loved and cared for. Was able to help us with short notice after a my wife and I have been dealing with a tree falling on our house. Very grateful!”
“Hayley did a great job taking care of my dog. She kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout his stay. Not only was she great with my pet, but also did an amazing job communicating with me especially being flexible when I needed some help. I would love her to take care of my dog again.”
“Alicia went above and beyond to take care of our yorkies while we were gone. They gave her a bit of trouble not wanting to go to the bathroom outside but she was amazing in asking questions and communicating every day how they were doing! She sent tons of pictures so we could see how much they were enjoying their stay. She was incredibly kind and I could tell really loves caring for animals! Would definitely book with Alicia again 😁”
“Thank you Kristin. You were awesome and did a great job with my pup. Sent me pics and kept me updated. I would recommend you to anyone needing someone to care for their fur baby🐕💙”
“We were so nervous about leaving Marshall with anyone. He is an almost 17 month old cockapoo that is totally spoiled. He has never been away from us over night. April and her husband (and their dog, Ollie) were absolutely wonderful. April is a very calm, quiet person who communicated with us how he was doing and sent lots of pictures. We are 100% satisfied and pleased!”
About: I have had pets my whole life of all shapes and sizes and I am currently a stay at home mom who is available everyday! I have to kiddos and a cat who are all familiar with dogs and other cats so they are gentle and enthusiastic to play. My background is caretaking for my family, cooking, cleaning, and I even worked at an animal shelter. Your pets would get my undivided attention, all of their needs met and more when they spend time with me! Pet care is something that comes automatic for me along with caring for my children. Everyone gets what they need before anything else is done for the day! I love taking them for walks throughout the day and I live near a park so I am always trying to spend time outside. When we are lounging inside we enjoy playing all together and hanging out in the living room. Pets that come into my home are treated like family here. I am available for boarding and day sitting so when your pets come here they will have a place to come and socialize and play all day and night. I am always home so they will always be supervised and I can give you plenty of updates on how their time with us is going. If your pet needs medications or special care that is something that I am more than comfortable with, anything to help them feel more at home with me!

About: I work from home, so pets get consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I provide a calm, structured home where animals feel safe and included in daily life. I’m attentive to routines, exercise, and individual pet needs, and I treat every pet like family. I also have experience in home care work, which strengthened my responsibility, patience, and reliability. I work from home Saturday through Tuesday, so I’m available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I’m also off Wednesday through Friday, which gives me even more flexibility for drop-ins, walks, or extended care. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will get consistent care and companionship. I provide a calm, safe, and loving home environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I take introductions slowly and make sure all animals feel secure, especially when meeting my dog. I have a sweet Great Pyrenees mix who is gentle, affectionate, and does best with smaller or calm dogs. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. My dog is up-to-date on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention, and I always follow owner instructions closely to make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent.
About: Hi! I'm Katie, a certified dog groomer, dog trainer, and lifelong animal lover. I've worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, and dogs that need a little extra patience and understanding. I have experience with: • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • Overnight pet sitting • Multi-pet households • Basic medication administration • Feeding and maintaining routines • Training reinforcement and enrichment I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I'll make sure they are safe, comfortable, loved, and treated like family while you're away. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. As a dog trainer and groomer, I spend much of my time caring for animals, and I have dogs of my own as well. My flexible schedule allows me to provide walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the week. Because working with animals is both my profession and my passion, caring for pets fits naturally into my routine. I'm a professional dog trainer with six dogs of my own, so caring for animals is a big part of my everyday life. All of my dogs are socialized and get along well with other dogs. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and exercise, and because I make my own schedule, I'm able to be flexible and provide plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home, they are treated like family. They receive regular potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, playtime, and lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. As someone who works professionally with dogs and even takes my own dogs to work with me, I understand how important trust, consistency, and positive care are for every pet.

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.
94% of sitters in Bayard 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 Bayard 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 Bayard.
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 Bayard. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 Bayard 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.
