“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!”
“Alexandria is wonderful! She took incredible care of Lucky, providing frequent updates and photos that kept my mind at ease. It was clear from the start that Lucky was in great hands and felt right at home throughout the entire stay. I highly recommend Alexandria for anyone needing a reliable and attentive sitter!”

“Halina and Theodor took such good care of our dog while we were away for a couple weeks. Our dog was very happy and comfortable being there. I would highly recommend choosing them to watch your pet. We will definitely reach out to them again the next time our dog needs a sitter.”
“It’s always so comforting knowing how well Murphys stay will be with Leslie and her family! We are so grateful to her for her kindness she shows towards us and our Murph! I’d recommend her to anyone needing per care. 🐕🦺🦴🐾🐶”
“Kirsten and Nicolas were great! They sent pics during the whole stay and were very communicative. They also have a fenced in back yard that they let the dogs run around in. They updated us when the pups appetites were low, which I really appreciated. Both of our dogs tend to be anxious without us because they aren’t used to used to being alone, so it was also a big plus that they work from home. In the past we have had to send our pups to kennels because we don’t have friends or family near by who can watch them. They would be locked in a kennel all day and we would literally have to pay extra for belly rubs or time out of the kennel. I usually feel uneasy the whole trip but not this time. I could tell they were well taken care of and treated like one of their own. Thank you so much Kirsten and Nicolas!”
“Kristine was our first ever Rover experience. She and her family were so loving and engaged with our dog. She sent daily updates and pictures and went out of her way to make sure we knew our dog was having a great time while we were away. We intend to reach out to her again in the future and would recommend her to everyone. So much care and kindness!”
“Nicholas and Emily are great pet sitters! They are timely communicators, thorough and prompt! I greatly appreciate that they have a dog-loving family as I can see my dog Luna happily engages with them and their kids!”
“Had pre engagement meeting and it was all systems go! The boys (medium labradoodles) had a great time and relaxed like the place was their own. Seemed to especially enjoy the big backyard”
“Maria was amazing with our Chester boy! He’s an older but high energy dog, and we felt comfortable with her care the entire time we were gone. We’ve already passed her info on to a friend and plan to work with her again in the future! Thank you for everything Maria!”
“Maria did an excellent job taking care of my dog. She was very friendly and helpful. She sent me many pictures of my dog when I was away and kept me updated about his daily activities. My Watson had an amazing time with her. Would definitely recommend her to my friends and family. ??”
“From the time we dropped off our pup, we shown that she would be in great care. Gary and Heather provided consistent updates and photos as promised. We were told that our pup would be “cared for like one of our own” and our experience proved that. They took our pup to the dog park and the dog beach. As a high energy pup, we could tell she was thoroughly engaged judging by how tired she was when she returned home. We would highly recommend Gary and Heather to give you a peace of mind and your pup a loving home away from home.”

97% of Cardington sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Cardington landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cardington 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 Cardington.
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 Cardington 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.
