“Lauren was absolutely great with my doggos! She sent me pictures and kept me updated. One of my dogs required quite a bit of medication and she was very accepting of it. I would definitely recommend Lauren if you ever need someone to care for your fur babies!”
“Amber was a rockstar. We are always nervous to leave our senior chiweenie with anyone new because he is very skiddish. He opened up to Amber, and her family was patient as he took more time to become comfy around them. She took him on nice walks and followed the scheduled to a tee. We appreciate the constant communication and honesty Amber provided about Franklin during his stay. We will 100% book Amber again to care for our buddy.”
“I’m so impressed with Brandon! They took such great care of my geriatric dog, and I loved receiving pictures and updates throughout the day. They were so kind, great communicators, and most importantly, took amazing care of my girl. Brandon’s two dogs are also so sweet and playful and they seemed to get along really well with my slow potato dog. Brandon was also super accommodating when my plans changed last minute. I’m so thankful they were available to care for my old lady while I was away. I felt confident knowing she was in good hands!”
“I have to say that I really appreciate Rachel and her family and the way they have taken care of my daughter's dog Gunner when I leave him with them. It's difficult to leave him as he is pretty spoiled in terms of having his own bed and he also has a particular food he's needed to be on. This time he also had medication he needed to take on a regular basis. He always gets walked when he stays and Gunner also likes staying near Rachel. It's such a relief to know I can go out-of-town and have someone I trust care for him.”
“Dawn and Rob were amazing! I appreciated their flexibility on a last minute booking and when my plane was delayed. I got many pictures and check ins throughout my doggos stay and had no doubt he was more than well taken care of ♥️”
“pup was happy and well cared for. We appreciate them watching her at the last minute. They evn gave her a good brushing before we picked her up - highly recommendeed”
“Very communicative and knowledgeable about different types of dogs! Will definitely book again for my next trip and my dog didn’t come back to overly tired!!!”
“Cindy was great. Left lots of photos and even a video of my dog playing in the snow. I was very nervous leaving my dog with a stranger, but felt less and less as the time went on. 5 stars.”
“Mary did a great job with sending daily updates and following my thorough instructions for my senior dog with cancer. He seemed to get lots of positive stimulation with her and her dogs. Would definitely book again.”
“Amy and her family are amazing with our boy kitty Jade. He was recently diagnosed with a stress disorder but with her updates we knew he was as happy and relaxed as could be. He’s so loved and well cared for by them that we know he’s in the safest hands he could be while we’re away. ❤️”
“Jeffrey and Jessica were very communicative during our cat Rudy’s 12 day stay with them. They sent great pictures and updates of how he was getting settled in. Rudy came home very content!”
“My dog had an amazing time playing with Paige’s dogs and her cat. They treated her like she was their own and sent many pictures to me, to see how she was going! Paige’s family is the best”
“Sorillian took incredible care of my little pup and I could not be more grateful for her hard work! Bentley had so much fun and definitely did not want to leave. Will definitely be using her services again if necessary?”
“Emily was nothing short of phenomenal. I was in a tough spot when my Australian Shepherd named Wendle came down with a cough that needed treated with antibiotics and steroids 2 days before I was scheduled to leave the country on vacation for 10 days. With the alternative being to leave him in isolation at boarding for the entire time or canceling the trip, I was scrambling to find a sitter last minute and we really lucked out connecting with Emily here. She was amazing with Wendle, treating him as her own and I know he loved every minute of his own vacation with her. Emily kept me updated with detailed messages and pictures of Wendle during my trip and had no issues with giving him his medication and taking him on walks and giving him all the attention he needed. I can’t thank her enough for taking in Wendle at the last minute and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter in the future.”
“Molly was the BEST! She watched my 11 week old Airedale terrier puppy who was very much still at a needy and annoying age, and she was amazing. So attentive and sent lots of pictures/videos/updates. Her dog Winnie is also the sweetest and was a great teacher & playmate for my puppy. I would 100% recommend her!!”
About: Hello, I grew up with a houseful of pets and now I am an owner to 3 small dogs and 3 kitties. As a mom to four daughters and six pets, I understand the stress of trying to plan a vacation away from home. I have dealt with my share of good and bad Pet Sitters over the last few years. I am 41 years old and have strong moral values and am very compassionate/ empathetic to all people and I feel that it is important to say about my character in these wild, uncertain modern times. I do have a full-time job that is 100% remote and very flexible in my daily schedule. I would like to meet new local families and help provide reliable, trustworthy care for your beloved pets! I have a fully remote, flexible schedule. My kids do not play any sports so I don’t have extra curricular activities to attend regularly. I’m hoping to find people in my area or surrounding neighborhoods. I am not ready to board in my home since it is a full house here with four kids, three dogs and 3 cats but I have the freedom and ability to come to your home, let your pets outside, feed them, give medicine, take a walk and give lots of pets and belly rubs.
“Elizabeth did a wonderful job taking care of Sofie. She even got Sofie to go on a walk, which she usually will do only with me! Elizabeth sent frequent photos as this was Sofie's first time staying with her and her boys. The whole family was very loving and caring towards Sofie.”
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Carly! She was flexible with drop off and pick up times, took him for several long walks, played with him, and sent great photo/video updates! She even wrote him a little report card 🥹 She went above and beyond and my pup can’t wait to visit her again! Thank you so much!”
“Rachel was amazing throughout our multi-day stay! She kept us updated with lots of pictures and took excellent care of our dog Maverick. He came home happy and healthy, with a couple new friends!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Darbydale
My 8 m.o. Bernedoodle was well-loved and cared for by Emma (and her dogs)! Emma was responsive and reliable throughout the process, and I felt exceptionally comfortable having her care for my puppy in her home. I will definitely reschedule with Emma in the future.

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 Darbydale 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 Darbydale.
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 Darbydale 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.
