“Kelsey did a wonderful job watching our dog Zippy while we were away! She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Zippy looked happy, well cared for, and clearly got lots of attention. 🐾 We really appreciated how reliable and kind Kelsey was throughout the stay. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We’d absolutely trust her with Zippy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter on Rover! 😊”
“This was our first time using Rover. Daniel and Rachel are kind, caring, good-hearted, and dog loving people. They both treated our dog like their own dogs. We received many photos and updates on what our boy was doing. Maverick loved all of the attention, dog toys, and playing with their dog Jesper. Maverick had an awesome time with Daniel and Rachel. We already have another booking with them. We would recommend Daniel and Rachel to whoever needs a pet sitter. Thanks for taking good care of Maverick. We will see you soon .”
“My husband and I had to go out of town for his work. Our boy Fenrir needed to be watched seeing we couldn't take him. We are very pleased. After the meet and greet I felt comfortable leaving Fenrir. He had so much fun and was well taken care of. We most definitely were able to have a good time and not have to worry about Fenrir. We most definitely will be booking again. If we could give more than 5 stars we would.”
“Bodhi stayed with Angela for three nights. Since we hadn't left him with a sitter since before Covid, we were quite nervous. But from the time we did a "meet and greet" with her, we immediately felt at ease. His stay with her was wonderful! We received lots of photos and videos and we could tell that he was relaxed and not stressed. She provided plenty of love, attention, and enrichment times. Thank you, Angela, for taking such good care of our Bodhi. He will definitely be back!”
“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.”
“This was the first time I used a Rover sitter and I couldn’t be more happier! Kyle was amazing!! He sent me pictures and kept in contact with me to let me know how things were going. He gave my dog constant attention and took him for walks. I truly think my dog misses him, which makes me very happy cause I know he was well taken care of by Kyle!!”
“Our 12ish year old coonhound Howard just got home from his first stay with Karma for the weekend. She made sure he took all his medicine and checked in to let us know how he was doing. I felt so much better with him at her house than at a boarding facility, especially as he gets older. He loves getting all the investigative sniffs in her large fenced in yard!”
“Andrew did a great job with our 12 year old dog and even helped her get up and down from the couch. He kept me updated and sent pictures and was willing to do whatever was needed.”
“When my girls are with Katie I know they are safe, happy, and healthy! They play and cuddle like true champions. I’m so pleased with Katie. Couldn’t be more thankful!”
“LeAndra was very communicative throughout the trip and took the time to share pictures and updates that put our mind at ease. She walked Hermione and made sure she felt loved even through the 4th of July fireworks. Would absolutely book again.”
“Austin provided outstanding care and attention to our Golden Retriever, Oakleigh, while we were on vacation last week. Daily pictures and texts showed she was comfortable and right at home with his family and 2 dogs. When we had flight changes due to bad weather, Austin was responsive and incredibly accommodating keeping her an additional night. Oakleigh came home happy and tired from all the ball chasing, which is saying a lot for a Golden. This was our first stay and definitely won't be our last. I would recommend Austin without hesitation.”
About: We have each had dogs our entire lives. We currently have husky who is 1 1/2 years old and a 2 year old mini Australian Shepherd. They are both rescues. They are playful and enjoy being around other dogs. Free for plenty of walks and playtime during the day. I work from home with a very flexible schedule and will be able to keep a good eye on your dog. We have a pet friendly home inside and out. Our yard is fenced in. We have dog toys and balls all over. The dogs get plenty of exercise throughout the day.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been something that comes naturally to me. For the past 6 years, I’ve also provided pet sitting for friends and family, giving me experience with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual routine and needs. I take pride in providing loving, dependable care and making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work from home except on Monday’s , which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide regular check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I’m also available for pet care on both weekdays and weekends, making it easy to work around your schedule. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel right at home. I have a fully fenced-in yard where pets can safely play, run, and get plenty of exercise. I also have two friendly dogs of my own—a Golden Retriever and a Boxer/German Shepherd mix—who love making new friends. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles while following each pet’s normal routine and individual needs.
“Alessandra was great to work with, I felt very comfortable leaving my cat with her. Good communication throughout the stay and flexible with drop off and pick up times.”
“Very good experience with Zarina! She sent us pictures as soon as Pasta was settled in and then kept us updated throughout the weekend! We will definitely come back to her!”
About: I have spent my life caring for and loving dogs! I’ve raised many dogs of my own and have also helped my children care for their puppies over the years. I currently have two Golden Retrievers, a Bichon Poodle, and a Yorkshire Terrier. Throughout my life, I’ve raised and cared for Vizslas, Shih Tzus, Labradors, mixed breeds, and more. Anything from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. This experience has made me comfortable caring for dogs of all different sizes, personalities, activity levels, and life stages. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll care for your dog with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. I currently work as a mail carrier, typically from about 7 AM–1 PM. I’m an early bird, so I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, feeding, or playtime before I leave for work. I’m usually home for the rest of the day after work, which gives me lots of time for walks, outdoor time, play, and cuddles with your pup! Outside of my work hours, I’m home most days and love spending time in my yard with my dogs, so caring for another pup fits naturally into my everyday routine. I have a large yard with plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors, as well as a secure lead for pups who love spending time outside. I am also used to walking dogs on lease so that would be no issue at all. I’m typically outside in my yard every morning and again in the afternoon (sometimes through the evening) when I get home, so your pup will have plenty of opportunities for fresh air, playtime, and supervision. My dogs are total lovebugs and are used to sharing their home with other pups! My Golden Retrievers, Dale and Luke, enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and would be happy to have another friend around. For smaller or younger dogs, my Yorkshire Terrier, Lucy, is just under a year old and loves having a playmate. (Sam, my Bichon poodle is around 16 years old so he doesnt play very much lol). My dogs tend to follow me wherever I go, and your pup would be welcome to join our little crew! I know every dog has a different personality and comfort level, so I’m happy to follow your normal routines and preferences. If your pup needs some quiet time, prefers their own space, or needs to be separated from the other dogs at any point, I can safely crate them or provide space away from the group based on your instructions. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable leaving your pup with me. I’ll treat them as part of the family while respecting the routines, boundaries, and care instructions you provide.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

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.
97% of sitters in Footville 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 Footville 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 Footville.
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 Footville. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Footville 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.
