“KIrsten did a great job keeping my dog. i had a meet and greet before trip so I knew my dog would be in great hands. She was quick at responding and sent me pictures and updates. Kirsten was helpful when my plans changed and i needed to update dates. Will definitely rebook.”
“We’ve never boarded or left our dog overnight, so we wanted to make sure she’d have lots of attention and wouldn’t have to be crated for hours or overnight. I felt really comfortable leaving our dog with Tina. We did a meet and greet to make sure it was a good fit. Tina sent pictures regularly during our stay and stayed in communication. She was happy and worn out from playing with other guest pups when we picked her up. You can tell that she and her husband really care about the dogs. They will always be our first choice for boarding now.”
About: I love animals!! My dogs are my fur babies and I treat them just like they are my babies. I love to take them to the dog park, dress them up, take them to get pictures for the holidays and make them feel so so loved. Your fur babies will be very well taken care of with me and very loved. I won’t just be pet sitting, I will do my best to make them feel right at home. I have had pets all my life growing up and now with my 2 fur babes. I currently am staying home full time so my schedule is normally always open. I can be available for all services through the week and weekends. I like to take my babies on walks and to the park.I play lots and have many many toys! My fur babies sleep in the bed but when it comes to clients pets I prefer they are crate trained or comfortable laying in their own bed.I love to have fun and play around here.
“I can’t say enough good things about Nicolette. She’s sweet and compassionate. She took care of my little Princess like she was her own. I know she gave her lots of love and attention and cuddle time. Princess gets two eye creams twice a day and Nicolette handled that with no problem. She gave me daily reports about how Princess was doing and she sent lots of pictures. I felt completely comfortable with Nicolette and I know she took wonderful care of my fur baby. I will definitely use her again!”
“Will be using Dana again. Our 4 year old German Shepherd had a blast there with Dana’s family and other dogs. She responds quickly to messages and sends plenty of pictures. Would recommend to anyone.”
“We always feel comfortable leaving Leo with Michelle and Justin. They regularly send photos to keep us updated while we are away. As a bonus, Leo gets to sit on their couch!”
“This was my first time using Rover and it went great. Jodi and Reya took fantastic care of Darcy while I was out of town. I was provided updates through the visit that helped me know that Darcy was in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.”
“We boarded our two dogs with Krystie for 2 weeks while we were on vacation. Our dogs had a wonderful time. We could tell when we picked them up that our pups had a good time at their stay. Krystie kept us informed about the pups while we were gone. Our pups were beautifully groomed, clean and happy when we picked them up. We will be so happy to board our dogs with Krystie again!”
“Our boys were so well taken care of and accepted as members of the family. We received regular pics and notes about our digs that allowed us to stay connected but be assured they were happy. The home was clean and super dog friendly. We would definitely hire again !”
“Taylor was absolutely amazing with Osa, I went from feeling scared of leaving Osa to feeling comfortable Osa was taken care of. Her response time was almost instant for the entirety of Osa's stay, and she was so flexible when I needed to add pick up and drop off for unexpected events! Taylor, thank you so much for making this one less thing for me to worry about during my travel!”
“This is our first time using this service. We had a death in the family and had to head out of state abruptly. I must say, Dajon is phenomenal! From the moment we arrived, he was welcoming and had a calm demeanor towards our fur babies. He sent us photos and videos of our dogs fun adventures throughout the day. He was extremely flexible when we needed to extend our time at short notice. His overall love and care for animals is top notch. I would highly recommend him and will definitely use his services again! Thank you Dajon for taking such good care of Daisy and Diamond!!”
“Our dog (and we!) could not love Tamisha more. She recognizes Tamisha's house as her home away from home and gets excited as soon as we pull in the driveway. She's a mama's girl and very attached but once she sees Tamisha, she couldn't give a hoot about us leaving her!”
“Gabby was amazing when it came to taking care of our puppy Punky. They treated her like their own and just raced about how good she was. I will definitely use Gabby again in the future when we go on extended stays!!”
“Cody went above and beyond while watching my fur baby! She was able to sit for me while I went on a work trip. She followed all my care instructions and sent pictures daily. He was sad to leave his new friend after an amazing stay with her.”
About: Hi I’m Izzy! I currently work at an animal hospital in kennel care. I’ve adopted/fostered 15 animals (dogs,cats,birds,etc) since I was 8 years old. I’ve petsit for friends, teachers, and close connections! Since I do have an animal working job, that does mean that I will have to work around that. Some days mornings work better, as others the day or evening. Yet I'm very flexible and communication can sort that out! I make sure that your cat/s is good with water, any food, medication (if needed) and double check before and after if there’s any cautions that he/she could get to. On top of that picture & video updates!
“Kat was/is truly amazing with my Zara! I received updates daily by text and videos. I could tell Zara was treated like her own. Zara had so much fun I thought she wouldn’t want to comeback home.. lol 😂. Thanks again for your kindness, professionalism, and expertise! Zara will be back as long as you will have her❤️❤️ Thanks again!”
“Biscuit had such a great time at Laken’s. He has friends to play with and gets all kinds of cuddles and love while I’m away. Laken sends fantastic updates and pictures!!”

Sierra is absolutely lovely! She was very friendly and kind to all of us, and I can tell that the puppies had a very pleasant time staying with her! It was a wonderful surprise to also get party pictures of the pups for New Years! They looked super special in their party hats! Would highly recommend Sierra to anyone looking for an amazing dog sitter!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 Buckeye Lake 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 Buckeye Lake 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 Buckeye Lake.
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 Buckeye Lake. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 Buckeye Lake 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.
