“Kim was amazing with Ollie! She sent photos and updates throughout the stay, so we always knew he was happy and taken care of. It made being away so much easier knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely cares about your pup.”
“Jessica was absolutely the best pet sitter! She was so sweet and really loves animals! She has the best setup for watching them in her home! She had a nice area for my cat to be separate if he chose to from her pets - but her pets were awesome also! I highly recommend her to everyone! I had been super anxious and worried about leaving my kitty, but my mind was at ease and I could relax on vaca because I knew my kitty was being extremely well taken care of! She also sent daily pics and notes, which was so great! Thank you so much Jessica!”
“Alycia and Scott were great with our boys. They are young dogs - 2 and 3 yo - and very “spirited”. They rolled with the punches with them and provided timely updates and pictures. The boys got plenty of exercise in their expansive back yard. This is our first time booking with them after our prior Rover sitter moving out of state. We are planning to use them again the next time we travel.”
“Tricia watched my 2 cats for a week and a half. She wasn't just a sitter, she LOVED on the kitties and the kitties loved on her and her 2 sweet kids as well! Her home is very clean, nice, very warm and homey feeling. She has all the accommodations needed to watch cats and dogs! She kept me posted with lots of pictures and updates which made it so much easier to relax and not worry while on vacation!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Rebecca and the way she cares for our boys. They run to her when they see her walk out the front door and you can tell from her daily pictures that they are comfortable and happy. She communicates regularly and informs us of any concerns. I think the best compliment I can give is that we can enjoy our trips without worrying about them because we know they are in great hands. She’s the best.”
“Ronald and his family could not have been better sitters for our 2 labs. They were so thoughtful and provided a loving home for our pups while we were away. I will definitely continue to book Ronald on future trips.”
“Great Communication with Megan & David for my 1st time leaving Jackson with a new Rover sitter. I was even welcomed to do a meet and greet that went well. It left me very comfortable leaving Jackson for 5 nights. I received pictures and updates on how he was adjusting. I have already set up some more stays for some trips I have planned. I highly recommend Megan & David for the care of your dog.”
“Such a great sitter!!! Nancy was fantastic with our senior pupp, Domino. Her communication was fantastic, and he kept us fully updated with pictures during his stay. We look forward to booking Nancy to care for Domi during our future travels!”
“Elisheba and her family took Ember in and were very kind. Thank you for the hospitality and the great care at a last minute notice. Ember loved the yard and enjoyed having extra people to play with her, it takes a village!”
“Susan was a great sitter for my doggo! She was responsive, sent great photos, and was flexible with pickup when our flight returned home early. I’d definitely book with Susan again!”
“Lisa and John are very chill and flexible. They were really kind and helpful when my trip got cancelled and I had to pick up the dog early. Janie only got to stay there one night, but from that short time things seemed fine.”
“Jill was amazing with my dogs. She was able to help with only hours notice, and far exceeded our expectations. She provided daily updates, and made the separation easier for us as we moved into our new home. I completely recommend her and will use her again any time I need to leave town.”
“Krista took great care of our pup Cooper! He was exhausted when we picked him up after a weekend stay! We know that he was having a great time with their pup Stella and was in good hands all weekend. We will be booking with Krista on future occasions for sure!”
“Louie had so much fun with Blake and the whole family. Katie was attentive, flexible and made sure to check in for our reassurance. This was Louie’s first time away from us so we are incredibly grateful for the care he received. We look forward to next time.”
“Paige, Stephen and family cared for our dog, Duncan, so well! He became part of their family while we were gone and I could tell that Duncan was thriving while with them. He especially loved playing with their kids which helped keep his sense of normalcy compared to our home! Would definitely recommend this family to anyone :)”
“They're fantastic!!! First time using Rover and they made the process extremely easy. Joe and Tasha took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated with plenty of pictures. They respond to messages very quickly and were very hospitable. I had a trip abroad and my return flight kept getting delayed to the point where I wasn't able to pick up my dog at the scheduled time. They were very understanding and allowed me to pick him up the next day. I can't thank them enough for doing that! Obviously I'd rather have not put them in that situation, but I'm very appreciative that they were so accommodating. I overwhelmingly recommend them and would absolutely have them dog sit again if I'm away.”
“Katie was a perfect sitter for Nash! She gave him the attention and love he wanted, a great house to feel comfortable in and he almost didn’t want to leave!”
“Our little guy seemed happy at Stephanie's house! The family was very nice, and their house is tucked in a cul-de-sac away from busy roads. We got updates and/or pictures most days, and Stephanie was always timely in her responses to any messages I sent her. We plan to use her again!”
“Erin was amazing! Lexi really enjoyed her stay at her house. Erin took her on walks and even brought her along on errands. She sent me pictures and videos every day, and Lexi always looked so comfortable and happy. I felt very comfortable knowing Lexi was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Erin!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dry Run
My husky had an amazing time with Tricia. Im very particular about who i leave him with so i was a little nervous going on rover and choosing someone to watch him that isn’t family or a close friend but she did an amazing job sending pictures and updates the whole time she had him which made me feel so much better about being away from him. It was like he was on his own mini vacation getting sooo spoiled!
Kim exceeded my expectations! My Henry came home, well adjusted and calm! No anxiety here friends. The communication was top notch and Kim really wants to understand and know your fur baby. Will definitely use again. Stress free trip, for both of us! Thank you Kim!
5 stars! Leaving a senior dog can be stressful, but Erin and her kind family took such wonderful care of Kingston. She sent frequent picture and video updates, which totally set my mind at ease. It is clear they treated Kingston like one of their own. I will definitely be booking with Erin again!
I can’t say enough good things about Rebecca and the way she cares for our boys. They run to her when they see her walk out the front door and you can tell from her daily pictures that they are comfortable and happy. She communicates regularly and informs us of any concerns.

Krista is an amazing pet sitter! She provided frequent updates throughout the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her communication was excellent, always responsive and attentive to Beanie needs. We had a wonderful experience and would absolutely rebook with her in the future. Highly recommend!
Finding someone to watch my dog was the most stressful part of planning my vacation. Brooke made it all incredibly easy and stress free. She updated me throughout my trip with pictures and worked with me when I was late to pick up due to travel issues. I will absolutely use Brooke for any future trips.
Andrea was outstanding in making Ruby's first experience in "boarding" feel like home. She followed through in providing walks, loving care, and daily photographs of Ruby, with her dog, Tebow--who has become Ruby's best friend. Already scheduled for another two-week boarding in two months. I highly recommend Andrea.

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 Dry Run 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 Dry Run.
<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 Dry Run 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.
