“I booked Lauren for the second time, and once again she was amazing! She takes such great care of my Xena and really caters to her needs, especially when it comes to food and routines. I love that she sends plenty of updates throughout the visit, it gives me so much peace of mind. She’s professional, attentive, and genuinely cares. I absolutely love her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
“Bethany and her family are wonderful! My dog spent a week with them and I could relax on my vacation knowing she was in the best care. Their big fenced in backyard is an added bonus. I would definitely recommend!”
“Lauren was great! Libby felt right at home and settled in really quickly. The huge fenced in back yard was definitely a plus and libby loved hanging out back there. We really appreciated how communicative and responsive Lauren was and we will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“I felt comfortable with Cameo right away and knew my pup was in good hands. I received updates and good reports on how things were going for the week. I would definitely use Cameo again in the future!”
“The BEST pet sitter in the area! I’ve used several sitters and interviewed several more - without a doubt, her family treated my girl as one of their own! I had picks sent during her stay, and constant communication that shows she loves what she does ❤️. I even got a progress report and jump drive of videos and picks of her stay. My go to from now on! Thank you and I will be using you again, and again, and again 😍😊”
“We’ve had our dog stay with Kelsey before and he always enjoys his stay! Kelsey’s great with sending us videos and updates, and is always responsive. We will definitely continue to send our dog to stay with her when we need the help.”
About: I have a degree in veterinary technology and used to work in clinics and veterinary ER. I personally have three dogs, three guinea pigs a bearded dragon and am fostering a kitten. I take the care of animals to heart and cater my approach to each of their personalities. I can perform CPR if needed and am able to administer medications and help with any specialized needs. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all ages and can meet their needs. I also can manage exotic animals. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask! I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I keep my dogs on somewhat of a routine as I have semi high energy breeds. Though we do lounge around at home when they’re feeling lazy. I treat all animals with the highest level of care whether it is my own pet or someone else’s. I have my eyes on the pets at all times both inside and outside of the home. I worked in the veterinary field through college and retired in 2024. All that knowledge stays with me and I continue to stay up to date on animal care. You will get regular photo updates of your babies during my drop in’s and/or boarding.
About: I’ve been in love with animals for as long as I can remember and started caring for them at an early age, from puppies to seniors. I have fostered and rescued many dogs and cats over the years, which has deepened my understanding of their needs. I have a very flexible schedule and able to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m available throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and any other care a pet may need. I’m also able to give pets plenty of attention and maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. I provide safe, attentive care by following routines, giving walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love while keeping pets comfortable in their own environment :)
“I was very nervous about boarding my dogs because 1. They’re anxious 2. I’m anxious and 3. They can be a little bratty but Sorillian put me immediately at ease! She and her fiancé were very knowledgeable and experienced with dogs and obviously loves them. She sent me pictures every day. They will stay with her again!”
“Thanks so much Dawn and Robert for a great stay and experience. They were so helpful and flexible throughout the process and Frank had a great time. Thanks again!”
“Sasha was great with my dogs! I was so nervous because I have never left them with a stranger but Sasha immediately made us all feel comfortable and calm. I appreciate her detailed updates when I ask for them. I got lots of pictures of my pups and loved getting to see them while I was away. One of my dogs is 3 pounds and I was very nervous about her, but Sasha took great care of her. My other dog is a grumpy, older chihuahua with separation anxiety and he was perfectly content when I came to pick them up. We will definitely book with her any time I leave town in the future!”
“Mikayla was very good about keeping in touch and sending video and picture updates of my baby! She created a welcoming environment during drop off and made me feel super comfortable leaving my dog with her. Would 100% book again :)”
“Angel done a amazing job taking care of our fur baby. Roxy came back looking and feeling wonderful. Additionally, she followed the instructions we asked of her. I would recommend her to all my friends, family and Shipmates. Thank you Angel”
“We are so grateful for Kathryn! 💕 She has always been so patient with our flight delays and is always willing to take care of Minnie, even at the last minute. She treats Minnie with so much love and kindness, and we can tell our pup feels completely comfortable and happy with her. Communication is always smooth, and she goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. Knowing Minnie is in her care gives us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter—she truly feels like part of the family! 🥰”
“Pam is amazing! Took notes about our dog during an initial meeting, sent us pictures and videos with a daily update while we were gone for a week, and you can tell she and her husband really love dogs. Super nice person and very responsive!”
“My 8 m.o. Bernedoodle was well-loved and cared for by Emma (and her dogs)! Emma was responsive and reliable throughout the process, and I felt exceptionally comfortable having her care for my puppy in her home. I will definitely reschedule with Emma in the future.”
“Kayla was amazing!! We left our anxious Bernedoodle puppy with her, and he was so at ease in the environment. He was fully loved by her family, and made playmates with her dogs. She was great about sending pics or videos each day, and getting him plenty of time outside on walks or in their yard. I highly recommend her for any of your pet needs. We will be using her many times for boarding this upcoming year. It brings such peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands.”

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 Florence 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 Florence.
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.
You and your Florence 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.
