“Alycia took great care of our dogs and kept us updated throughout their stay. She was very responsive, sent photos and updates, and made us feel comfortable while we were away. We appreciated the communication and would be happy to book with her again.”
“Great Communication with Megan & David for my 1st time leaving Jackson with a new Rover sitter. I was even welcomed to do a meet and greet that went well. It left me very comfortable leaving Jackson for 5 nights. I received pictures and updates on how he was adjusting. I have already set up some more stays for some trips I have planned. I highly recommend Megan & David for the care of your dog.”
“I would recommend Stephanie and family! Stephanie provided day to day updates to keep me informed of Georgia's comfort level. While she has been timid around new people in the past, Georgia adapted well with this family. Thank you!”
About: Hi! I don’t have any dogs currently- I put my last dog down about 1.5 years ago, but have been a dog lover all my life. I have experience with all ages and types of dogs but specialize in senior & reactive dogs. I do work full time- four days a week. I am off on Wednesdays and off on weekends. If I’m watching your pup, I’ll go home straight from work to get them out for a walk! I provide a loving, safe, and comfortable home for your pets while you’re away! I love taking dogs on walks and, when appropriate, car rides for a little extra adventure. I’ll treat your pets like family, giving them plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care. My goal is to make your pets feel happy, comfortable, and right at home while giving you peace of mind!
“Krista was so accommodating, easy to communicate with and welcoming! My dog stayed for 5 nights and had a great time! Krista provided the sweetest updates with pictures to put my mind at ease :). My dog enjoyed playing with her Stella who was so sweet and helped make my dog feel comfortable. I will definitely use Krista again!”
“Amazing family who took the best care of our 1.5yo dog! Felt so good about leaving our girl in their hands (and paws!) :) our Luna loved playing with sweet Murphy!”
“Johnathan was a perfect sitter for my dog Jade. He was very thoughtful and helpful while I was out of town for a longer trip, helping me know that Jade was having a great time!”
“Highly recommend! My dog stayed here for a multiple day booking and had an amazing time. The sitter was fantastic and which allowed my dog to socialize and spend time around a friendly large breed dog, which was a wonderful bonus experience. It was great to see my dog so comfortable, well-cared for, and happily socializing. I will definitely use this sitter again in the future!”
About: Hi! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! 🐾❤️ I’ve been pet sitting for over 14 years, and caring for animals is something I genuinely love! I know pets are family, and finding someone you trust to care for them is so important. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I offer boarding in my home, drop-in visits, and occasional house-sitting stays. Our home has a fenced-in yard, and I love giving pets plenty of attention, affection, and opportunities to play, relax, and feel at home. I have three dogs of my own—a Lab mix, a Husky mix, and a Shih Tzu—as well as two cats, so animals are a big part of our family! I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable in my care. I’m also a mom of three little ones, so we have a busy, loving household. I always want to make sure every pet is a good fit for our home and feels safe and comfortable during their stay. I’m a big believer in meet-and-greets before booking! I love giving everyone a chance to meet, get comfortable with one another, and make sure it’s a good fit for both your pet and my family. I want you to feel confident and at ease knowing who will be caring for your fur baby. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, and I want you to feel confident that they’re in caring hands. I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you can see how your babies are doing while you’re away! Whether your pet needs a cozy place to stay, a friendly face to check in on them during the day, or someone to keep them company while you’re out of town, I’d love to help. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. ❤️ Feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐶🐱💕
“She took such good care of our dog Buddy. Very thorough and conscientious with their diet medications and especially dogs who are older. We would definitely use her again.”
“Dani and Jathan were amazing. Being able to enjoy our soccer weekend without worry of our little guy was such a relief! Such incredible people and I’m so happy we found our forever doggy sitter!!! Thank you both!!!”
About: We're CJ and Michael, a couple of lifelong dog lovers who both grew up with dogs and have been pet-sitting for neighbors, friends, and family for years. CJ is a resident physician, so she's calm, responsible, and great at following your care instructions to the letter. Michael works from home in consulting, which means your dog will have company, attention, and plenty of potty breaks throughout the day, not just at drop-in times. We live an active lifestyle and love long walks, exploring parks, and spending time outside — so high-energy pups fit right in with us. Just as happily, we'll match a mellow dog's pace with couch cuddles and slow strolls. Your dog will be treated like family: exercised, loved, and safe. We'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you're away. Michael works from home full-time, so your dog will have company and attention throughout the day — not just quick check-ins. Walks fit naturally into our daily routine: a morning walk, a midday break, and once CJ is home from work, we take a long evening walk that your dog is more than welcome to join. We're active on weekends too and love bringing a dog along to parks and around the neighborhood. Your dog will stay in our clean, dog-friendly home with plenty of cozy spots to relax. We keep a consistent routine — regular walks, fresh water, and lots of attention. All walks are leashed, and we're careful about doors, gates, and anything a curious pup might get into. If your dog is crate-trained, we're happy to keep that routine going. We treat every dog like our own and send regular photo updates so you always know how they're doing.
“Marina and Michael took excellent care of our furry baby while we went on a trip and left her for the first time ever. She sent lots of updates with pics and made it so much easier being without our girl for a week, knowing she was in good hands :-)”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Forestville
Our second boarding was another great experience. My pup is 13 years old and I feel at ease leaving him with Erin to take care of his needs. I received picture and video updates throughout the stay of one happy pup! Erin is easy going and easy to schedule drop-off/pick-up times. We’ll be back many more times!
My husky had an amazing time with Tricia. Im very particular about who i leave him with so i was a little nervous going on rover and choosing someone to watch him that isn’t family or a close friend but she did an amazing job sending pictures and updates the whole time she had him which made me feel so much better about being away from him. It was like he was on his own mini vacation getting sooo spoiled!
Finding someone to watch my dog was the most stressful part of planning my vacation. Brooke made it all incredibly easy and stress free. She updated me throughout my trip with pictures and worked with me when I was late to pick up due to travel issues. I will absolutely use Brooke for any future trips.
Bri was wonderful for our girl, Olive! She did a meet-and-greet before our trip to make sure Olive was comfortable with her and with Layla, which was really helpful. Bri kept me updated and sent pictures while we were gone. Olive is a bit of a nervous dog, but she did great with Bri. And Layla was super, super sweet with her. We will definitely be booking with her again!!
Andrea was outstanding in making Ruby's first experience in "boarding" feel like home. She followed through in providing walks, loving care, and daily photographs of Ruby, with her dog, Tebow--who has become Ruby's best friend. Already scheduled for another two-week boarding in two months. I highly recommend Andrea.

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 Forestville 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 Forestville.
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 Forestville 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.
