About: I love rescues, seniors, energetic dogs, loafers and grumpy pets. I call all dogs pups, no matter how old they are. With a scared or unsure dog, I don’t try to force a friendship. I’m happy to sit with them, keep them company and let them decide when they’re ready. I worked for several years at a local veterinary practice and about two years in an emergency veterinary hospital, working with dogs, cats and birds. I’ve had dogs and cats throughout my life, including adult rescues. I also have farm-sitting experience with chickens, ducks, geese, quail, rabbits, turtles, pigs, sheep, goats and turkeys, and have spent time around cattle, zebras, donkeys and horses. My schedule is currently very flexible, with plenty of time for the dogs in my care. In the spirit of full transparency, I am currently interviewing for roles that are remote or may include hybrid work arrangements with part-time hours outside of the home. That being said, all opportunities are within distance of taking breaks at home to let pups out to roam about. Pups have free rein of the house and are welcome on furniture and beds. We have a spacious fenced-in backyard and one friendly, active senior dog who enjoys having company. I’ll want to know what your dog is used to at home — meals, sleeping, crate routine, favorite spots and anything that helps them feel comfortable. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and bed here.
“Excellent service. Zach and his daughter were great with my dog Rex! Great setup with a tall fence and Rex loved playing with their dogs.This was a same day booking and they were able to accommodate us last minute and also the following day. I had only left my dog one day at a kennel his whole life so was nervous and within minutes knew I had made the correct choice with Zach and his home!”
About: I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of various kinds of animals, dogs and cats . I Will respect your love for your animal that you’ve trusted me with. I am Retired, enjoy walking so why not walk a dog? I’m very responsible, and if I say I’ll be there to care for your dog, I will be there. I live in a great neighbourhood with sidewalks. I have no problem taking a dog on a leash to a nearby park. I ALWAYS pick up after dog.
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life, and now that I’m recently retired, I have the time to give them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I treat every dog like part of the family—whether we’re going for a walk, playing fetch, or just relaxing together. With a calm, patient nature and a flexible schedule, I can focus fully on your pet’s needs and routines. You can rest easy knowing they’ll be safe, happy, and loved like one of my own. I am recently retired and am available all of the time. I currently have two small dogs of my own and watching an additional dog would be no trouble at all. If you dog stays with me, they will be treated just like my own pet. I am able to walk them, feed them special diets, or administer oral medication. I am home almost all of the time and can give them the attention they need.
“So good with Maple's puppy energy, her home is so dog-friendly with an amazing back yard for safe wandering and playing. So grateful my puppy can have a great time with her new friends at Kathy's home while I am working!”
“Sarah was incredibly thorough and made sure that my dog felt comfortable in a new space! Thank you so much for your time and giving Lou Lou an incredibly fun experience.”
About: I have had a dog growing up ever since I was a little girl. I have always puppy sat for past neighbors and family members and treat them as my own! I love dogs, always have and now have my own Bernese mountain dog and chocolate lab! Very available and flexible with time to help care for your fur babies! I can provide as many potty breaks as needed! We have all hardwood floors! As always I will treat any home I enter with the greatest respect and caution and will welcome mine to any dog I dog sit!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine passion for animals and my extensive experience in pet care. I am attentive to each pet's unique needs and personality, ensuring they receive personalized care and affection. My background and my commitment to maintaining a safe, loving environment further distinguish me as a reliable and caring sitter. I have almost 10 years of experience working with animals, mostly cats and dogs, and can say that I am one that both my family and friends can rely on when it comes to watching their pets. I am currently seeking to make dog walking/ pet sitting as my full-time job, so I am available anytime during the day or night to care for or walk any pet. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure they have a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of space to play and relax. I provide regular feeding, exercise, and interactive play sessions to keep them engaged and happy. I maintain a clean and pet-friendly home, and I am always attentive to their needs and behavior. In my friends and families homes, I follow their specific instructions and routines to ensure consistency and comfort for the pets. I provide the same level of care and attention, including feeding, walking, playtime, and administering any necessary medications. I respect the client's home, ensuring it remains clean and secure, and I communicate regularly with updates and photos to keep them informed and reassured.
About: I am a caring and dependable dog walker with a genuine love and respect for animals. I currently walk two dogs Tuesday through Friday and have built a strong bond with them. One was shy and barked at me at first, but now happily runs up to greet me—an experience I truly value. I also volunteer at the Humane Society animal shelter, where I help feed cats, clean their cages, and walk dogs. At times, my responsible and gentle 14-year-old son assists me on walks, offering extra attention and care to the dogs. My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently work as a substitute teacher where I decide what days I want to work. I like to work half days which would be from 11am to 3pm but if a client needs me during that time I can be available during that time. I will make sure to follow any instructions or recommendations from the client concerning the well being of their pet. I typically give the dog daily exercise 4 to 5 times per day. With the owner permission I will take dog to the dog park and keep a watchful eye on the dog at all times there. If I feel another dog is getting aggressive I will immediately remove the dog so nothing escalates.
“Holly was able to accommodate my very last minute booking request and I am so thankful! She took Lucy for a few walks throughout the day and I could tell that Lucy was well taken care of. Thank you again, I really appreciate it!!”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Fairlawn commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
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 .
