“Stacey and her family’s home was a perfect stay for Moki Marie. She took walks and had lots of play time with the kids and snuggle time with the whole family. Plus, my feeding directions were followed which is important for Moki’s tummy. If you want your dog loved and cared for with extra attention, I highly recommend Stacey and Bruce and their family!!!! 🥰”
“We are very happy with the care that Angie provided to our dog! He was in great spirits after his weekend stay - it seemed like he had a lot of fun and made some new friends! We also really appreciated the daily updates with photos - it meant a lot to be able to see our guy and know he was doing well while we were gone! We will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Rachel took wonderful care of my dog River over Christmas, lots of updates & photos & very individualized care, River seemed to love hanging out with Rachel’s family & came back very calm and happy!”
“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!”
“Stockton had such a great time with Maolin, and he has major separation issues. She made him feel comfortable instantly and took him on a lot of awesome adventures! Would definitely book again!”
“Ellen was awesome! She is very kind and friendly. She communicated very well before and during my fur baby's stay with her. She gave lots of updates with pictures which was great. This was our first time leaving him and she made the experience awesome. I would highly recommend her and would definitely love to use her services again!”
“Dawn and Robert are the best! We got so many videos + picture updates during our trip and always felt like our pup was in great hands. Couldn’t recommend them enough! They were very flexible with us when our travel plans changed last minute. Thank you Dawn and Robert!!”
“Mary has watched my fur baby Lady twice, and she is a fantastic sitter. Very warm and caring, Lady immediately took to her, FooFoo and Ellie(forgive me if I misspelled their names). Will definitely use Mary again.”
“Emily did a good job watching my two dogs, one of whom is scared of the dark. She was flexible with my drop time, which I appreciated. Will definitely book again!”
“Angie was wonderful with our one year old mini bernedoodle Reggie. This was only the second time he stayed in someone’s house and the first time with Angie ! She’s a happy, very positive person and gave Reggie lots of TLC while we were away. She also had to administer pills to him and she wasn’t bothered by that at all. We plan to use her services again in January 2026.”
“Thanks, Cara, to you and your boys. Cara always responded promptly. She sent plenty of pics so we could see what was going on. I think Holly settled in well, enjoying the back yard and I imagine she enjoyed being around your boys. Holly came home tired and happy.”
“Elizabeth is great! My dog Calypso stayed with her for an extended weekend and Elizabeth updated me each day. Definitely will return😊Thanks again!”
“Michelle and her family were absolutely fantastic! They took care of my pup like he was their own. Great communication and tons of pictures. Would recommend them 10/10!”
“Justen was very accommodating and flexible with drop off and pickup. He sent pictures and made me feel secure that my pup was safe and being cared for as if she were his own!”
“Cody went above and beyond while watching my fur baby! She was able to sit for me while I went on a work trip. She followed all my care instructions and sent pictures daily. He was sad to leave his new friend after an amazing stay with her.”
“Rayann watched my puppy for almost a week. She sent daily updates and pictures on how he was doing. She was a great communicator and took great care of Mav. He had a blast playing with her and her family. I will definitely use her whenever I go out of town next.”
“Sally was absolutely amazing with Hiccup. Her communication was consistent and proactive, and we received tons of pictures during his stay! He got exercise daily, and plenty of cuddles and playtime. As soon as Hiccup met Sally and the home, he seemed at ease and adjusted well to the change. He was clearly safe, happy, and well-loved, and we will be using Sally for all of our future dogsitting needs!”
“Our dogs were so well cared for by Sara. We are not used to leaving our pets any place. Finding her on Rover was such a relief and proved to be the loving environment we hoped for. Greatly caring of animals and helps them adjust to being away from home. Great job. great choice.”

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 Derby 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 Derby.
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 Derby 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.
