“What can I say about Kristie? She was incredible with my pup. He’s a bit of a finicky boy, and this was his first experience not at a kennel while dad was away. After asking great questions to get an understanding m, we did a meet and greet and Reggie seemed to enjoy, so we went ahead with the booking. Throughout my 7 day trip, I got plenty of updates and pics (peep the gallery). Kristie took the time to get to know the pup, checked in with me to get insights, and tailored her interactions and expectations to match my goober’s needs. 10/10 recommend, and hope to rebook whenever I need a sitter!”
“Murphy got great care with Jennifer and her family. He adjusted quickly. We really appreciated picking Murphy up and him having no anxiety. That is not usually the case. Also so nice to be so close in our country location. Thanks Jennifer, I’m sure Murphy will visit again.”
“Lillian and Jeremy are excellent sitters to my dog Smokey! They are always my number one choice everytime I leave town. My dog Smokey loves them and their two lovely dogs that are his friends now! They are excellent communicators and are very prompt with responding, and they also send me picture updates of my pet. I will continue to rebook with them!”
“Celene was fantastic! She’s easy going and flexible with the pick up and drop off. She loves dogs and took such great care of Vinnie. We received multiple updates a day with photos. Vinnie got along with Penny really well. Would recommend and use her again!”
“Mary was amazing with my Sadie girl!!!!! She sent me pics and was very kind. I will use her every time I go away. I felt Sadie was safe and cared for. It made it so much easier to leave her”
“We are so happy to have found Angela. Our Miniature Schnauzer puppy loved the wide open yard and all the tender loving care received from her and the family. Angela kepst in touch and sent lots of updates and videos of Howard interacting with her dogs...He was having a blast...so much better than putting him in a Kennel. Angela definitely gets five stars and we will look for her again for our next trip. Dave and Caroline”
“Beyond nice and caring. It shows how much compassion she has for dogs in the way she talks about them. Honestly being it was my first time using rover with her, I would repeatedly book with her. I loved when she updated me on my dogs via pictures and texts. Overall 10/10.”
“We could tell that Stella enjoyed her time with Betsy & Gordon and their children. We were very selective in our selected sitters leading up to our European vacation. This was our first out of the country vacation away from Stella. Betsy and Gordon provided us with great communication leading up to the booking, and great communication throughout. Easing my fur momma worries. We hope that Stella will visit again soon!”
“My dog is needy and spoiled. He is set in his ways and expects lots of attention and treats. To put it simply- he is a handful! I could tell by our meet and greet that Emily was a good fit. She kept us updated and sent pics which helped ease our anxiety. I would definitely use her again and recommend her services to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”
“Fantastic service! Very accommodating to my travel schedule with pick-up & drop-off. Great communication in very timely way including daily updates. Very knowledgeable of dogs, and how she introduced my dog to her two. Even allowed me to meet her pups. I’m in process of booking again, and very grateful for Lisa and her thorough care of Winston!”
“As always Birdie goes above and beyond what is expected. My Maggie gets so excited when we pull up in front of her house. Birdie takes the time to play with her and allows her to snuggle next to her when she wants to. She is so happy there. I feel she is in the best care.”

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 Clay Center 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 Clay Center.
<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 Clay Center 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.
