“Penny was a lifesaver! She home boarded my two standard poodles when we bad to leave town abruptly for my husbands emergency surgery. She was flexible and accommodating and absolutely spoiled our poodles!”
“Thank for sending so many pictures and keeping us updated! Bucky obviously loves being there and feels comfortable! I still can’t believe he was willing to share his dog bed with your dogs! I love that! I’m glad we have somewhere to take him where he feels that safe!”
“I felt immediately comfortable with Myra upon meeting her. Sage had a great week and ate all week, something she never does in a kennel. Myra is a puppy lover and kept us updated during the week. We plan to use her service again in a few weeks!”
“I boarded my cat Phoebe for several days with Mariah. She took excellent care of her and my cat seemed at ease with her and her home. She was responsive to my messages and sent daily photos. I would recommend Mariah for pet boarding.”
“Kimberly is great! She is very quick at responding and giving updates (including photos). We noticed our dog came back very comfortable and relaxed. We are already booking again! Thank you very much Kimberly!”
About: We've enjoyed 4 dogs and 3 cats during our marriage. Our current dog is a 2-year-old mutt who LOVES to play with other pups, and our cat. She came from an abusive home, and it took several months to help her feel safe. If you have a shy/scared dog, we are understanding and patient. I work from home, so I am available at all times. I prefer to take walks in the mornings when it's warmer, and in the afternoon or evening when it's cooler. I like to let the pups play together as much as possible, but I do like to give one-on-one time with each pup a few times each day. Gates are set up to keep pups in a safe area where I can see them at all times. We mostly allow them to play together or with toys we provide. I take each pup outside at regular intervals, as provided by their parent, to relieve themselves.
“Kyle did a great job taking care of Ollie! He was very accommodating with my last-minute request, communicated well, and was genuinely nice and welcoming. When I picked Ollie up, he was very excited and happy, with no signs of stress at all. I really appreciated how well Kyle and Hannah took care of him. We’ll definitely book again. Thank you both, and see y’all next time!”
About: I truly love animals, and have some training background. I always had my own personal dogs, until recently, so I am open to caring for yours. Your animals will be well taken care of, and I will provide consistencies they are use to at home upon request. I work from home 4 days a week, but my mom who works from home is home daily. Animals are never unsupervised! I get home around 5pm when I go into work. I walk dogs as much needed and have necessary needs provided in house (leash, bowls, mid size cage, brush, yard, etc). No worries if certain materials run out or are not provided.
“Alysia is a great sitter for our pup Max! She was very careful and considerate when we first introduced him to her dogs, and they all play well together. Max comes home tired and happy! She's responsive and always sends photos and updates. We feel very comfortable trusting her with watching our boy!”
“Kathryn did an excellent job taking care of our dogs while we were on vacation. Setting up the booking was super easy, all concerns and questions were addressed quickly. The communication and pictures during our time away were spot on, and put my mind at ease that our babies were happy and well cared for. The pick up was efficient and it was so nice to see how happy, relaxed and worn out from all the fun and love they received from Kathryn!”
About: Hi! I have owned several of my own dogs. I have taken care of many friends dogs and I love dogs and animals in general! I am a stay at home mom who homeschools my kids so I can give your dogs lots of time and personal care. Would love to take care of your dog! I have a fenced in yard and 2 other dogs but they are very well trained. I live right by a park too and I go on daily walks!
“Great family! Felt extremely comfortable leaving our dog with them after the meet and greet. Received regular updates and photos throughout our two week trip which was very much appreciated. Would definitely use them again! Thanks Rebecca and Ethan and kids!”
“My dog Willie had a great stay at Michelle's! She is a very good and attentive caregiver, and I would highly recommend her. She even accommodated a couple of last minute requests. I will definitely be using her in the future.”
About: My partner Anthony and I have extensive pet care experience through house sitting for several families, caring for a wide variety of dogs with different needs and personalities. We've looked after dogs who require a high level of care, including administering medication, following strict routines, and maintaining consistent feeding and walking schedules. We've also cared for easy-going pets who simply need companionship, exercise, and lots of love. We pride ourselves on being attentive, reliable, and adaptable, making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Erin works close to home, so she can come back and care for the dogs during the workday. I am available for boarding on weekends, depending on my schedule. We will make sure your dog is well taken care of! We have a fun, friendly, energetic dog to keep your dog company. We have a partially fenced-in yard, but I will never leave your dog outside alone. We only want to accept dogs that do well/get along with other dogs for the safety of our dog, Ozzy, and ourselves.
“Greg was great with our special needs Yorkie-mix, Bella. He really got to know her helped to make her stay comfortable and enjoyable. She also really enjoyed the beef-carrot dog treat Greg made. He sent photos/videos of Bella to keep us updated. We’d definitely have him and his family watch Bella again!”

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 Castine 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 Castine.
<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 Castine 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.
