“She's amazing!! Super accommodating when my flight was delayed from the snow. She took great care of my pup and updated me frequently with a video or picture! She's a great petsitter!!”
“Karin & Ryan are the absolute best! We are so lucky to have found them to watch our Rudy. He gets so much love, attention and activity there and they love him like their own.”
“Lindsey and her boys are perfect pet sitters. They took such great care of my old boy Max I’m not sure he wanted to leave. :) Lindsey was fabulous at keeping in touch and sent lovely photo updates. Fret not with this sitter. Reliable, perfect home ( easy large yard access) , thoughtful and obvious animal lovers. I will not hesitate to use this sitter again.”
“Hailey and Potato were wonderful hosts to our dogs, Marley and Luna. Luna is a bit shy and Luna was able to open uo and play with Potato. Hailey sent just enough photos and updates throughout the visit and was very accommodating with the scheduling. The girls came back extremely happy and had a wonderful time with their stay with Hailey. Her yard is perfect and she is very efficient with drop off and pickups. I would definitely have our girls stay with Hailey again!”
“I highly recommend Derek to watch your dog while you are away! He took great care of my precious dog Lola! He made sure she ate well, exercised a lot and felt comfortable in his home. Derek provided daily photos and videos to me that calmed my fears of leaving her and being so far away. His dogs are very friendly and welcomed Lola into their environment. I really think she enjoyed her vacation more than me and had such a good time! She has been sleeping the next day away much like I feeling like doing!”
“I had the pleasure of working with Sharon, and I couldn't be more impressed with her kindness, efficiency, and genuine love for animals. She took excellent care of my dog for the day, ensuring he was happy, comfortable, and well-attended to. What truly stood out to me was her attentiveness and calm demeanor, which made the entire experience stress-free. She is clearly experienced, as evidenced by how well she handles her own dogs—a Yorkie and a Shepherd—both of whom are incredibly well-behaved and sweet. If you're looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter, Sharon is absolutely the person to trust. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of quality care for their furry friends!”
“Kathy was amazing! Our pre-boarding meet and greet went well and Sadie was super happy to be there. Through the actual boarding Kathy sent us a ton of pictures and updates and was very responsive. Absolutely no issues whatsoever and I won't hesitate to book again in the future.”
“Megan was a lifesaver for a last minute watch due to my pup who needed a calm place to rest her healing leg while I traveled for work. She was extremely flexible and understanding. She kept me posted on my pup each day, sent pictures of her and took extra care to try to keep her calm. Although they didn’t get to play and go on adventurous walks, Piper was happy. I would highly recommend!”
“Eric & Polly were great with Nyx and sent us lots of updates. They were also super responsive. She seemed confortable with them by the time we picked her up. Thank you!”
“Kelly is the absolute best! Anytime we have to go out of town, we know that our dog is in the best of hands. Constant updates and communication the entire time. We are worried that our dog is always sad to come home because she gets so spoiled staying with Kelly.”
About: I’ve always wanted a bigger pack. Caring for your dog like family gives them a loving home away from home while fulfilling my lifelong passion for dogs. I work from home during the week so I have the flexibility to give your fur baby play and bathroom breaks as their needs dictate. I have a spacious backyard equipped with 20ft. tie outs for supervised fun in the sun. Two to theee walks a day in the Avondale neighborhood as weather permits.
“Absolutely amazing care and communication. Stella's stay was perfect. So so thankful we found this family. And Stella now has a new doggie best friend!”
“Stacie and Doug are the best! They treated our Westie like the Queen that she is and sent us notes so we could remain connected. We met in advance of our booking to get to know each other and they were very kind when I had some last minute changes to our agenda. Our pup got along very well with their pup and we would recommend them for your pup as well!”
“Brendan & Sarah were absolutely fabulous! They treated my pup like their own and sent me updates and pictures…i am so sad I found them at the end of my time in Cleveland because i definitely would have been using them regularly!”
“Ralph was amazing, he accommodated our girls and treated them as if they were his own. He ensured that they were the only clients he had during their stay to make sure they were comfortable. He sent so many photos and made sure that we knew that were well cared for during their first stay with him. There was no doubt. Our large breed is shy and after our first meet and greet, she warmed up to Ralph so easily and she does that with no one. He has a way with animals that makes them feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend Ralph but I would like to be able to book him in the future 😉”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs for many years. During college, I spent five years working in a veterinary office where I gained valuable experience. I have a friendly Golden retriever who enjoys having other dogs around (large or small). I have cared for dogs belonging to our friends and family while they travel and understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I provide a safe, comfortable home where your dog can be a part of the family while enjoying our spacious fenced yard and receive plenty of attention. Our two children are older and comfortable with dogs. They understand how to be respectful around dogs so your dog will be joining a calm, family-oriented home. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine and will do my best to make your dog feel at home while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because I am home much of the time and enjoy having dogs as part of our family routine. I have the flexibility to give boarding dogs plenty of attention and outdoor time. I am able to accommodate each dog's normal routine as much as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime and bedtime. My goal is for your dog to feel comfortable in our home rather than staying in a kennel. Our home has a large fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore. My friendly Golden Retriever enjoys playing with friends. I keep my boarding groups under 2 dogs so I can give each dog individual attention and maintain a calm environment.
“Our travel plans changed last minute and Marcie was amazing about it! She kept our dog an extra day no problems! Sent me pics everyday like our dog was part of the family! Amazing!”

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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 Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
