“We traveled from Pittsburgh to Marion for a family wedding and needed someone to watch our dog Paddington during the ceremony and reception, and Jennifer was wonderful! We got to meet her adorable Bulldog, Diesel, which was a great bonus. Jennifer's communication was excellent throughout, keeping us updated and sharing photos so we could fully enjoy the celebration without worry. We would absolutely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative pet sitter!”
“Loni was incredible! She was so friendly, quick to respond, so good to my dog, sent me updates and pictures. Her dogs are very friendly and well trained as well. I could not be more happy with the expedience. Thank you, Loni and family!!”
“Angellynn was absolutely great! She took wonderful care of my 8-year-old dog and treated her just like she was at home. Ginger loved all the attention she got from them. They played with her and loved her. I will definitely be taking Ginger to stay with Angellynn again. Highly recommend her!”
“Thank you so much for watching Pebbles. I could tell by all the pictures he sent me that Pebbles was in good hands. She was happy to stay there. He gave me the schedule he had for my dog and had all the details of the days she was in his care. I will 100% use him again. I highly recommend him. He always kept me update and sent plenty of pictures. Thank you so much!”
“Maria M. was absolutely wonderful with Daisy... She did an amazing job keeping Daisy entertained and Happy as we could tell from all the photos. We're going to send out Maria's information to all our friends if they need a dog sitter. We most definitely will use Maria M. as Daisy's dog sitter from now on when we go on vacations. Thanks again for everything Maria. You're the Best!!! Stay Safe and Healthy.... The White Family....”
“Kaitlin was awesome. I needed to leave my dog, Ralph, with her last minute and she was able to watch him for 4 days! She kept me updated on him which was also awesome! Ralph was a very happy bit at her house! Highly recommend!”
“I cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Amanda. She watched our 2 dogs this week, 2 separate times that we needed to travel overnight. You can tell she genuinely adores every dog she cares for and she is so great about sending updates and pictures. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for peace of mind when they have to be away from their fur babies.”
About: With 5 years of hands-on dog sitting experience, I provide not just supervision, but genuine companionship. Since either my husband or myself are home at any given point of time, your dog will never be left alone — they’ll enjoy constant care, attention, and interaction throughout the day. Either myself or my husband one of us are always at home and can pet sit at any given point of the day / overnight I do have my own pet so we make sure they dont have access to harmful items. They will be continuously monitored especially during meals, walks. Also every pet stays after the initial meet and greet to ensure comfort and fit. I will also be sending out photos/videos on daily basis:)
“Indie came back happy & healthy and looked like she had an absolute blast! Gracie was very aware of the heat and making sure the dogs were playing before the heat of the day and bringing out some kiddie pools for later. I appreciated her thoughtfulness and care while I was away and all the pics and videos! She was very flexible when my flight got delayed as well! Would book again!”
“Outstanding job ! Angela is fantastic. Absolutely the best experience we have ever had. We have a really big dog, a really big sweet dog. At 145lbs, he seems intimidating. But, he is just a big baby. During the meet & greet, Angela put us at ease within minutes. Our dogs are valued members of our family. We are very particular about who we trust to care for them. Angela was excellent and our dog has a second home.”

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 Big Island 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 Big Island.
<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 Big Island 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.
