“Andrew and his family are absolutely wonderful! It was a delight getting to know them, and my dog Bella had a very happy stay while I was away. Highly recommended!”
“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! 🥰”
“Amber was a rockstar. We are always nervous to leave our senior chiweenie with anyone new because he is very skiddish. He opened up to Amber, and her family was patient as he took more time to become comfy around them. She took him on nice walks and followed the scheduled to a tee. We appreciate the constant communication and honesty Amber provided about Franklin during his stay. We will 100% book Amber again to care for our buddy.”
“Cindy was a great Rover!! She spent lots of time with our pup Dublin and sent lots of pictures. He had a great time there, will definitely be booking Cindy again 😊”
About: I've been caring for and loving dogs for over 30 years, including dogs of all sizes and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I understand that every pup has unique needs and deserves to feel safe, loved, and at home. I'm comfortable caring for puppies and senior dogs, following special diets and routines, and administering medication. My experience includes caring for my previous dog, Tucker who was diagnosed with thyroid carcinoma. I supported him through a two-year cancer battle, administering his prescribed chemotherapy medication regimen daily. I also had a senior dog, Maggie Moo that I cared for through incontinence and end-of-life care, learning firsthand the importance of patience, compassion, and helping pets maintain their comfort and dignity through every stage of life. I enjoy everything from walks and outdoor play to quiet companionship and couch cuddles. I treat every dog like family and prioritize their safety, happiness, and comfort. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while your best friend is in my care! I work from home some days and in the office (15 min away) on others, so my availability varies but is flexible throughout the week. I'm available for pet care during evenings and weekends, and I can accommodate daytime care depending on my work schedule. I make it a priority to provide plenty of attention, exercise, outdoor time, and affection while keeping each dog's routine as consistent as possible. I plan bookings around my schedule to ensure every pup receives safe, attentive, and loving care. My home features a large, fenced backyard with plenty of room to explore, and my own dog loves to play with other dogs. I have multiple dog beds throughout the house and dogs are welcome on the furniture. I believe in making every pet feel comfortable and at home while prioritizing their safety and well-being. I follow each pet's routine, provide plenty of attention and affection, and make sure introductions are handled carefully. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their space and follow the owner's instructions to keep their pet's routine consistent and stress-free. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family member is in loving, dependable hands. I have two kids under 8 years old who love dogs. I have my kids part-time so I may also be able to accommodate dogs who are not tolerant of kids. I have raised food and water dishes to accommodate larger dogs. I also live within walking distance, approximately a half mile from a dog park if your pup likes to social scene.
“Would definitely recommend! Michele is so sweet and took great care of my olive. Lots of walks, sent lots of pictures. My dog is pretty shy but the moment she met Michele she loved her :)”
“We left our puppy with Angela while we took a trip & despite being a little worried about leaving him at first, she definetly squashed those worries. We recieved daily photos, & when I did message, she responded quickly. Our pup always looked happy & healthy, as well as Angela giving him a bath for us so he was also very clean!”
“This was our first time ever booking a rover or boarding for our dog Jersi and Emily made it a great experience! She was very communicative, shared lots of pictures of Jersi, and kept us updated on how she was doing. We are so thankful that Jersi was left in such good care with Emily and a bonus that Emily’s own fur baby was there to play with Jersi during her stay. We 100% recommend Emily and will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Ellen was awesome! She is very kind and friendly. She communicated very well before and during my fur baby's stay with her. She gave lots of updates with pictures which was great. This was our first time leaving him and she made the experience awesome. I would highly recommend her and would definitely love to use her services again!”
“Our puppy had a wonderful time playing at their house. We were updated the entire stay with how she was doing. We will absolutely be bringing our pup back :)”
“Could not have asked for a better experience for Cooper! Loved the photos and updates. I could tell he was happy and did not worry about him and really enjoyed my trip. She welcomed him as part of her family!”
“Susanne and her family were amazing while watching our two dogs over a last-second weekend trip! Susanne was super communicative, send us updates and pictures, and I can tell the dogs had a great time while there. I would highly recommend Susanne for any dog watching needs!”
“Paige took such great care of Teddy and made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. We got tons of photos and she kept us updated the whole time, so we always knew he was happy and in good hands. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and Teddy clearly adored her. We’ll 100% be booking with Paige again!!”
“Kevin was amazing with our dog Griffin! He kept us updated & sent us pictures every day!! Griffin had a great weekend with Kevin, we will definitely be booking with him in the future!”
“Rachel was awesome with my dog Griffey! She was great to work with. Very accommodating, responded quickly, and even sent some pics of Griff when out-and-about! I can tell he enjoyed his time in her care. If you’re looking for someone to trust with your furry friend, book Rachel! 💯 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”
“Rachel is a very caring sitter. Our two dogs were very nervous with their first time away from us and had multiple accidents, and she handled it kindly. She’s an awesome option and an avid pet lover.”

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 Galloway 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 Galloway 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 Galloway.
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 Galloway. On Rover:
- 90% 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 Galloway 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.
