“I was extremely impressed with Kelsey and her husband. They took great care of Cal! He came home happy, was well taken care of, and was exhausted from all the fun he was having. Thank you!!”
About: “What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with animals from a young age. I’ve raised and trained my own dogs, rescued animals in need, and provided attentive care, ensuring each pet feels safe, happy, and loved.” Although I currently work from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., I can adjust my schedule to care for pets before or after work. I’m transitioning into full-time pet care and am dedicated to providing attention, exercise, and love to every animal in my care. I care for pets by following their daily routines, giving love, attention, play, and exercise, while ensuring a safe, clean, and comfortable environment wherever they are.
“Rhiana was great! She sent multiple pictures daily and provide updates. She also takes him on a walk daily. Our Golden Retriever looked happy in all the updates! Will book again in the future.”
“Great sitter - dealt with an unexpected Heath issue (UTI) w/ my dog during the latest visit and was awesome (communicated well, had a plan, and took care of the pup). Recommend!!”
“I am a first time rover user that was VERY apprehensive and nervous about who I left my precious little puppy Luna with. Jenna was very accommodating and pleasant and you can tell she has a wonderful love of animals. She sent videos to ease my worries about how my baby was doing. At the end of the visit I could truly tell how she bonded with my dog and vice versa. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Jenna again for our puppy sitting needs.”
About: Lifelong dog lover with 20 plus years of hands on experience. I’ve raised my own dogs from puppyhood through their golden years and cared for friends’ and family’s dogs of all ages,Breeds, sizes, and personalities. Since I work from home full time, your pup gets steady companionship and plenty of love throughout the day. I treat every dog like my own, providing you with regular updates so you always feel connected and reassured. I work from home, so I am available for flexible drop off and pick up times, as well as frequent potty breaks throughout the day For everyone’s comfort and safety, including my own, I am only able to accept one booking at a time. I may accept multiple dogs if they are from the same booking.
“Kaitlynn was awesome. She touched base with me daily with updates and pictures of Bailey. She was accommodating to Bailey and her needs. I will definitely book with Kaitlynn again.”
“I had Ron watch my 2 small dogs. My one dog is very scared and doesn’t like to go for walks. He has a fenced in backyard that was perfect for my dogs. He was also very calm with my dogs which helped my scared dog feel comfortable. He is flexible with times and communicates timely. He had a big dog bed and some toys and treats in his home.”
“Kathy is always so wonderful with our dog, Stash! He’s so comfortable and loved when he’s with her. It’s so hard leaving him, but Kathy is great at sending updates and photos while we’re away. Thanks so much for being so great with our little guy, Kathy!”
“I really appreciate Pat for taking very good care of lily during her stay. Appreciate receiving daily updates with pictures & videos. Will definitely get her service again in the future.”
“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING experience!!!! Tara & Peter sent pictures the entire weekend along with updates on our dog. Their fence in back yard was perfect for our energetic husky to get lots of energy out. We picked her up on Sunday and she was exhausted! We will definitely book every time with Tara & Peter!!!!”
“Ashya took great care of my pup over the weekend. She has a lovely cozy home and is easy to get in touch with. She sent me updates and pics throughout the night. I will definitely book with Ashya again!”
“Amanda and her family were just fantastic with our dog, Nala. They were super considerate on letting Nala get used to their own dogs, giving her plenty of time to adapt. They had her during two rainy days and they kept her inside, pampering her so much that I was worried Nala wouldn’t want to come back with us! They are just terrific people who really love dogs. They will be our first choice next time we travel with her to Cleveland!”
“I love Susan and Kenny. They are so good with my girl Mona. Mona is a rescue and hates to be away from her person. Susan and Kenny have become her new persons after only two stays. They treat Mona like I treat Mona. I'm so happy to have found them.”
“Awesome communication! So nice and super easy to book with, and so good with our pup. This is the first time we’ve done any kind of boarding and it was a really great experience. We really appreciate you!”
“Anna was wonderful with my pup and is just a special person who loves animals. Her home was amazing and is perfect for any dog. The backyard was a special treat for sure for my Chip. I cannot recommend Anna and her home enough. I knew my dog was very well taken care of and in great hands. Excellent communication as well. Thank you Anna and Gabe too 😘 ❤️”
“Pam and Marshall did a great job taking care of Lychee for the week. They were quick at communicating and we got updates on how she was doing. Lychee was happy and relaxed when we picked her up so she must have had a fun time!”

Rhiana was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! One of my dogs has anxiety and I was slightly nervous leaving her but Rhiana sent me updates and made me feel so comfortable! I think my dogs thought they were on vacation. I recommend her if you want your dog to have fun and feel comfortable. I will hope to use her services in the future :)

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
95% of sitters in Fairport Harbor can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Fairport Harbor 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 Fairport Harbor.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fairport Harbor. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Fairport Harbor 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
