“Tasha and Joseph were perfect for taking care of Biscuit while we were out of town! They were so easy to communicate with and sent frequent pictures throughout our dogs stay. Biscuit had a great time playing with their other dogs and was a very happy puppy when we returned. I would definitely recommend them!”
About: I’ve had a dog in my life for the past 17 years, and I can’t imagine it any other way! I’ve gone through 3 puppy stages and training for a crate and house-training. I’ve also had senior dogs as those puppies got older. I’m available for boarding on weekends, or during the week if they’re used to their owner going to work during the day. I’m available anytime after 5pm during the week for any walks or potty-breaks. I have over 1,000sq ft. In my apartment and plenty of space in the complex to go on long walks! I have enough space in my apartment to accommodate large crates as well for boarding.
“Highly recommend! My dog stayed here for a multiple day booking and had an amazing time. The sitter was fantastic and which allowed my dog to socialize and spend time around a friendly large breed dog, which was a wonderful bonus experience. It was great to see my dog so comfortable, well-cared for, and happily socializing. I will definitely use this sitter again in the future!”
“Alycia and her husband took wonderful care of Annie! We had a day trip for hospital appointments in Columbus and Annie was a happy girl with them and their cute puggle! We couldn’t be happier with Annie’s stay and know that she was well cared for and well loved. Thanks so much!”
“Our dog Bratwurst always has a great time with Amir! Would highly recommend Amir to any other dog owners! Amir is always communicative and thoughtful anytime we book a stay with him.”
About: I love all animals in general, I grew up taking care of dogs, rabbits, fish, birds, and turtles and have helped my roomies with their pets. I've volunteered at the Humane Society in Pasadena, CA and I have boarded dogs before. Now that I live alone and don't have pets I am trying out Rover to be able to make new furry friends, did I mention I have a backyard? I'm super detail oriented and will go above and beyond to take care of your high-needs pet. Also, I am big on cleanliness so let me know if your dog needs a bath and I'd be happy to help with that. If you would want me to take your dog out for frequent walks just let me know! I am working part-time from home and I am very active so going for walks is easy. I will plan ahead and let you know about our daily schedule and send pics, of course. I have a very sweet and gentle cat that sleeps on their corner all day, and I have a separate home office where I work during the day. Your pet would be with me all day or in the main living area if they wanted to.
“Noah and Danielle were fantastic with my pup Max especially with the short notice I gave them! I got a status update and was kept informed whenever I asked! Would highly recommend them to care for the fur baby”
“Caitie was very responsive with quick communication and updates. Her dogs were great playmates for my puppy. He was well cared for and a happy puppy when we picked him up!”
“Kim was absolutely the best!! She took such good care of my girl! My Kaycee is a bit timid and scares easily and Kim took her time letting Kaycee get comfortable and gave her extra loving! I was able to go to my work convention and relax knowing Kaycee was in such good hands!!”
“What an INCREDIBLE dog sitter!!! I 1000% would use her again. She was so kind and kept me up to date the whole time. My pup even got sick while staying with her and she handled it sooo graciously. Your pup is in GREAT hands here!!”
About: I've been lucky to be raised in a dog household and have always been surrounded by dogs- both big and small! I truly treat every dog as my own and give them the love and care they deserve. I have experience with large breeds (I had a great Dane growing up!), puppies and senior dogs. I work fully remote so I'll be at home most of the day to care for and play with throughout the day. I'm available most weekends when I'm not traveling a few times throughout the year. I have an elderly dog, Titus, who has lived with other dogs most of his life and gets along well with all animals (except those pesky squirrels!). I have a fenced in yard where, weather-depending, I leave the door open to allow them to go in & out as they please. I like to take my dog on walks around the neighborhood almost daily and we'd love to have a friend join us!
“Jenny and her family and dog were wonderful hosts for our dog Gretel. Gretel got walks and affection and seemed very comfortable there. A very responsible and caring host. We will be happy to have Gretel stay with them again.”

“Sandy was a great sitter for Luna! Luna is an energetic pup and enjoyed having other dogs to play with. This was my first time leaving Luna with someone other than family so I was nervous at first. Sandy sent frequent updates and photos putting my mind at ease. She was also more than accommodating when we arrived back in town later than expected to pick Luna up. Sandy is a bit out of the way from my house but that won’t stop me from using her in the future!”
“Our dog loves staying with Lauren and her dog. Unfortunately, our fur baby developed some health issues during his latest visit, but she was extremely gracious in caring for him and communicative. We really appreciated all the pics and updates.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elsmere
This was my first time using rover, because I was always so nervous. Patricia made me feel very comfortable with a brief meet and greet and updates throughout the stay with plenty of pictures she was so so kind and caring to my generally anxious dog. My dog is also reactive/aggressive with other dogs and I felt very comfortable with her care. Will definitely use her again when leaving town!
Erica went above and beyond to help keep my sweet boy comfy while I was out of town. She was very welcoming, sent daily updates and communicative. I felt very comfortable having him stay with her and would absolutely trust her to watch him again. I can’t recommend her enough!
I am so happy that we chose Danielle S. to watch Nala! Not only did she answer all of my questions before we boarded Nala, she had a way to watch Nala without crating her. We don't crate Nala. Danielle S.'s sweet dog actually slept with Nala to help her adjust to the new surroundings. Danielle S. also sent us a bunch of pics to show us how happy that Nala was during her stay. We will definitely be using Danielle S.'s services again in the future!
John was attentive and responsive when I had a last-minute sitting request due a flight change! He took great care of our shy cat, encouraging her to get out of her carrier and sending us multiple photos. He was considerate about other pets in his home and made sure to check in on our cat often. I highly recommend working with him!
Leeann was great for my 12 year old puppy who had never been away from immediate family, had just moved and lost her litter mate companion all at the same time! She was great with communication and Based on my dogs reaction to my return ( happy to see me but not pulling to get away) I know she was happy. I would definitely book Leeann again!
Just the absolute sweetest and wonderful pet sitter! My doggy was cared for and spoiled beyond belief! We would absolutely use Metrica again! She went above and beyond! Sent me tons up updates and pictures which Made everything so much more to see my boy looking so so happy! Thank you so much Metrica for the love and care you give all animals!
Amanda was great! Very communicative and flexible with timing for pickup and drop off. They were put in a tough spot with a large storm the night before our drop off, but were still willing to host our dog. She sent pictures and highlights each day, and welcomed him as one of their own. I definitely recommend, and will be looking to rebook next time we travel.
I had to find a sitter for my dog and cat at the last minute and PJ said she could take them! She was a life saver! She took such great care of my babies and even clipped my dogs nails! She went above and beyond to make my babies feel at home and loved! Thanks again, PJ! You are the best !
Our anxious doodle did wonderfully on a long stay with Ruth. She went above and beyond making sure our pup was comfortable and cared for, and was great on giving us updates. We also had the best transition back home we have ever had, so I know our pup truly felt at home with Ruth. Highly recommended, Ruth will be our first choice for future trips!
Alfonso was FABULOUS to work with! He took amazing care of our pup, was so flexible with our timelines, made sure Goose had everything he needed and more and was great at sending updates and pictures along the way. He saved the day and we are so grateful! Would recommend again and again!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 KY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
