I have two dogs and i take care of them by feeding them, letting them out, making sure they have water, walking them, etc. i am very good with animals, and enjoy spending time with them.
“Alexis was wonderful with my boys!! She was more than flexible and was great at communicating! She went above and beyond by even covering my couch that I forgot to cover before I left! Would 100% recommend!”
About: I’ve had various pets since I was a kid and have experience volunteering at an animal shelter. I love dogs and have a 3 year old Bengal who I spoil so I’m open to cats as well. Since it is summer break and I’m a teacher I have open availability Monday-Sunday until August I have open availability all summer and would be open to becoming a consistent resource for the right pets and their families. I’m also open to less frequent help In my house anything that could be a potential hazard is remedied and my Bengal is spoiled and taken care of routinely.

“Krista did a great job with our boys during drop in visits for a long weekend while we were out of town. She made sure they had food, water, and administered daily medications. Our boys enjoyed playing with her and she was respectful of our home. We will definitely look forward to using her in the future!”
About: I interned under a dog trainer and doggy day care specialist a while back before he relocated out of my area. He taught me about controling aggression, basic commands, feeding, and potty training. I previously worked at a vet clinic which helps in knowing how to handle various moods of dogs. Ones with anger, fear, anxiety, or explosions of happiness! It also gave me the knowledge for medications (oral and injectable). I used to work for Disney's Animal Kindgom where I dove trucks for Kilimanjaro Safaris, so basically my whole life revolves around animals. I'm still currently at Animal Kingdom but as an animal educator for exotic animals. I'm punctual, available early mornings and evenings, and am comfortable introducing dogs to one another. I am also very good at special care for pets (ie. Diets, treats, play time, potty time, crate time, bed time, medications, and etc...). I hope I can be of service to you and your pet! I am currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your fur children. I am available most times of the day and can work around most schedules. I have a fenced in back yard and a friendly dog that loves to play. He can help keep all the fur friends entertained and if need be, I can crate pets as well. I have a small supply of blankets, can offer quite time if needed, and have plenty of puzzle games for those that need a mental challenge.
About: I was born and raised with dogs in our home and I have always had multiple dogs as an adult. My husband and I have fostered more dogs than I can count. I belonged to a dog training club for 20 years focused on teaching the average dog owner the basics such as potty training and manners. My friends and relatives entrust me with their dogs care whether it be drop ins or boarding in my home. I do not currently work outside of my home. I am available to let your dogs out while you work, bring them to my house for daycare and boarding is available. I will take care of your dogs like they are my own. I have a large fenced yard and 3 of my own friendly dogs. I can easily crate dogs if necessary. There is also room to separate any dog that may be unsure. There will be times when I will have them rest so that no one becomes overstimulated.
About: I’ve cared for three dogs; all different breeds and ages, I especially love pitbull breeds, I have experience with dogs with medical problems as well I work 3 12hr shifts/week and available the rest of the week, and am hours almost all daylight hours and can schedule ahead for longer boarding stays I have an open tile and vinyl first floor closed off from basement and upper floor ensuring constant supervision and a risk free environment for both cats and dogs
“Ali was very patient with my old anxiety ridden , never leave my side dog. She only got to sit with him for a day and a half but I feel she did a wonderful job. I will be booking her again in the future. Hopefully he’ll remember her and not be so skidish.”
About: My name is Ronda. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for years. I have also been a foster for a rescue group for years. Your animal will be taken care of and loved as if they were my own. I do not currently have any pets. I recently lost my 2 senior dogs. I have a large home and fenced in back yard. I also have a doggie door if that is something your dog is used to (if not, it will be closed up). They will have free roam of the house when I am gone or can be crated if that is what they prefer. I will take them for daily walks or hang with then on the couch. Meds, special diets, or any special needs will be addressed. I'll text updates and sends pictures. Whatever you and your furbaby want, I will accommodate. I accept dogs of any size.
“Ashlee is great! Gracie looks forward to Ashlee's visits and loves to see her. It was easy to get set up with Ashlee, and she has been very reliable in making sure that Gracie gets outside to play. I would definately recommend her to take care of your pets. BTW - she takes great photos during the visits!!”
“Maya and her husband did a great job looking in on our sensitive little dachshund! The daily updates really helped us feel better about leaving our boy for a few days. Thanks, Maya!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs most of my adult life, and have had my own for the last 3! I know how stressful it can be putting your pup in someone else’s care, but I aim to make the experience as smooth as possible! I have a very flexible schedule as I work remote from home. So being able to take care of your dog during the day will be a breeze! My weekends are also always open, and my husband and I would love to watch your pup if you’re taking a vacation. Whatever instructions you leave, I’ll follow. I know how important it is to maintain structure in your dogs life, so I’ll always adhere to that. I can also offer training and enrichment activities for your dog on top of the walks for added stimulus.
“Megan was great! We requested a drop in visit last minute & she was right there to assist! We look forward to her staying w/ our 2 fur babies in just a few short weeks! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Boardman stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Boardman choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Boardman with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
