Henry loves going to stay with Angie and I love the updates she send showing Henry is having a good time, playing, and enjoying himself. It's a great piece of mind knowing Henry is being well taken care of while I'm out of town.”

About: I've been caring for and loving dogs for over 30 years, including dogs of all sizes and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I understand that every pup has unique needs and deserves to feel safe, loved, and at home. I'm comfortable caring for puppies and senior dogs, following special diets and routines, and administering medication. My experience includes caring for my previous dog, Tucker who was diagnosed with thyroid carcinoma. I supported him through a two-year cancer battle, administering his prescribed chemotherapy medication regimen daily. I also had a senior dog, Maggie Moo that I cared for through incontinence and end-of-life care, learning firsthand the importance of patience, compassion, and helping pets maintain their comfort and dignity through every stage of life. I enjoy everything from walks and outdoor play to quiet companionship and couch cuddles. I treat every dog like family and prioritize their safety, happiness, and comfort. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while your best friend is in my care! I work from home some days and in the office (15 min away) on others, so my availability varies but is flexible throughout the week. I'm available for pet care during evenings and weekends, and I can accommodate daytime care depending on my work schedule. I make it a priority to provide plenty of attention, exercise, outdoor time, and affection while keeping each dog's routine as consistent as possible. I plan bookings around my schedule to ensure every pup receives safe, attentive, and loving care. My home features a large, fenced backyard with plenty of room to explore, and my own dog loves to play with other dogs. I have multiple dog beds throughout the house and dogs are welcome on the furniture. I believe in making every pet feel comfortable and at home while prioritizing their safety and well-being. I follow each pet's routine, provide plenty of attention and affection, and make sure introductions are handled carefully. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their space and follow the owner's instructions to keep their pet's routine consistent and stress-free. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family member is in loving, dependable hands. I have two kids under 8 years old who love dogs. I have my kids part-time so I may also be able to accommodate dogs who are not tolerant of kids. I have raised food and water dishes to accommodate larger dogs. I also live within walking distance, approximately a half mile from a dog park if your pup likes to social scene.

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 Plain 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 Big Plain.

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.

You and your Big Plain 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.
