“Great couple to watch our pup. We wanted someone with a fenced in yard and other dogs to help socialize and tire our pup out and that’s exactly what we got. Our girl was happy to come back after the initial meet and greet and happy to book with them in the future.”
“There are no words to describe how incredibly grateful I am for Miranda and her services and that she even exists... I almost don't even want to put this all out here because then I have to share her with even more people! However, if I didn't tell it exactly as it is, I would be extremely selfish and feel terrible because someone else could lose out on having the beautiful experience of feeling the peace of mind (.... heart, and soul) to go on a trip and truly know your fur baby is being looked after not only responsibly, but with love and care. Oh, and that they would be having an absolute BLAST and the time of their lives!! I myself was worried my pup (River) wouldn't want to come back home 😂😂!! Miranda graciously took the time to communicate with me and shared many photos and videos of River's time with her and the crew there, and I loved every single second of all of them. Her Instagram page is where it's at too and an absolute must whether your baby is staying with her at the time or not... but definitely while they're staying b/c you get all the enjoyment of seeing them doing all the (very fun) things. Well worth every single penny in every way!! I will not hesitate in any way to have River stay with Miranda again when I go on another trip and I'm actually looking forward to doing so for myself and for River. Miranda, you're amazing and you've got an amazing thing going on... and you're stuck with us forever now 😁❤️🤗”
“I never met Heather... but her husband/boyfriend was there for both drop off and pick up for my 2 dogs. We only needed one night... they had a nice set up for access to a fenced back yard which is all my boys needed. Heather might have not been there that weekend or something, but the man who was there messaged me with updates and photos. I would book again with just the husband lol, maybe next time I can meet Heather.”
“Ramona was fantastic. Communication was great both days. Very responsive. Has a beautiful house with a great fenced in area. Loved that our little man was able to interact with her small children and other small dogs his size. She provided pictures of him playing in the backyard. He immediately laid down and passed out when we got him. He looks like he had a great weekend! Will definitely use Ramona’s services again in the future!”
“Kelsi was amazing, her home is set up perfectly for dogs and my dog absolutely loved his time there. She was very responsive and even sent me pictures throughout the booking”
“Sauddi was AMAZING!!! 10/10 best sitter we have had for Lucy. I have never received as many updates and pictures as I did in the week long stay that she had Lucy. We got close to 200 pictures and a bunch of updates throughout the day. She treated Lucy just like her own and she enjoyed every single moment they had together. Thank you again for taking such good care of Lucy! Whenever we need a sitter again, we will for sure be contacting Sauddi again.”
“Kato is a big dog, and was well tended and rarely left alone. The fenced-in yard allowed him plenty of safe exercise. We got regular photos and updates to keep us from any worries about him. Sitter was very flexible with last minute changes to drop off and pick up times.”
“Very satisfied with Elizabeth she was friendly and easy to deal with! Our pup got along great with her and Scooby Doo right away. She did a great job keeping us informed while Ember was in her and her family’s care.”
“Thank you Kristin. You were awesome and did a great job with my pup. Sent me pics and kept me updated. I would recommend you to anyone needing someone to care for their fur baby🐕💙”
“Just Picked our Pup up from Pats and she couldnt have been happier. Pat is so attentive with the Pets and her little dog gets along so well with ours. A repeat customer and cant imagine using anybody else. Thanks again.”
About: I have been dog sitting for many, many years. My very well trained Labrador Retriever loves to have sleepovers and play dates with dog friends. I currently work from my home on Monday and Friday. I am 15 minutes from home on Tuesday,Wednesday and Thursday. So I will be able to come home for lunch and let your fur baby out. I can board on weekends as well. I have a large fenced in back yard and a friendly lab to play with your fur baby. I can crate if your dog if needed.
“I couldn't be happier with her care of my pup. I had concerns leaving my dog for several days, as I had never been away and she has anxiety. Also I was unsure how she would be with other dogs. She took GREAT care of her. Sent me pictures and videos which I loved. And when I picked my dog up she was so affectionate with Marie which showed me she had really been treated well Will definitely use her again!!”
About: Ive had dogs ever since i was little so i have a lot of experience! i currently have 1 dog and 2 cats that i love to take on walks and care for. i would be thrilled to help others and care for their pets when needed. feel free to reach out! **I will be unable to accept last minute bookings** i require 2 weeks in advance since i'm in college and have a part time job. 2 weeks also allows plenty if time to schedule a required meet and greet :) I only care for animals outside of my house due to all the pets i have in my home ! i can give basic care, oral medications, take on walks, and prepare mental stimulating games for high energy dogs.
“Peter G.Does and excellent job with Precious ,keeps me informed on how she behave and make her feel like one of the family, and I love 💘 the pictures he send when I'm away to reassure me of any doubt I might have, 5 🌟.”
“Absolutely amazing, very friendly and amazing with our 2 dogs. She stepped in when a different rover provider could no longer care for our dogs during our vacation. Elysia sent us many pictures and videos and kept us up to date, putting our mind at ease. We highly recommend her and will be booking again!”
“What a great dog sitter. From meet and greet to extending a few hours upon our return to pick up. The communication, pictures, updates, and the love and care for our Chewy was a blessing to us. Thank you for making us feel comfortable leaving our senior dog with you. Extra special care was needed and Mckayla was willing to do it all.”

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 Congress 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 Congress.
<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 Congress 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.
