“Karin was absolutely amazing! She opened her home up to my puppy Bentley! She gave exceptional care to him. She went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable! She gave updates throughout the days she kept him and he even interacted with her dog. I give her 12/10 stars. She was absolutely wonderful and trustworthy with my baby boy!”
“Our dog had a wonderful stay with Joe. She can be nervous to leave us, and he put her right at ease. He was great with updates, and gave her gentle care. We will definitely be using him again! Your pup will be in good hands if you book with Joe!”
“Julia and her husband were great with my dog. Even though my pup had a hard time for a bit, (anxious that I left) they calmed her down with a walk and made sure she got comfortable. My dog enjoyed playing with theirs, I am thankful that they took good care of her while we were away on thanksgiving weekend.”
“John and wife were amazing, super friendly, responsive and LUNA cane home super happy as opposed as previous times we let her in the veterinary boarding. Thank you so much!”
“Jessica was so thoughtful to and loving of our dog Arrow on his first stay away from us. She clearly loves dogs and takes such good care of them. We loved that she sent a picture or video each day. I would definitely trust Jessica with our pup again.”
“Lady always loves staying with Catherine! She takes such good care of my pup (somehow she even convinces my dog to eat while I'm out of town...nobody else can do that!).”
“Goldie, being a rescue, is a really anxious and apprehensive dog. Lydia was awesome with her, she has the expertise (being a foster for a rescue) to make the dog feel comfortable and safe. Goldie was really spoiled in her stay, we also ran into a delay in our trip and Lydia was awesome and understanding. I totally recommend her for sitting your dog!!”
“Joanne was wonderful! She sent frequent updates and our dog was well taken care of. It was such a relief to see our dog relaxed and playing with her dogs while we were away!”
“Amber and Michael did a good job watching our boys. The updates were regular, and one of our boys who loves walks got a walk every day! This was super nice of them and he clearly enjoyed the walks.”
“Christina was amazing with our 50lb boxer. He is very high energy and when he got home, he was worn out. I would definitely recommend her and hope to use her again as well!”
“Patricia and her boyfriend take such good care of my little guy. He always loves going over and visiting their dogs. They take him on several walks each day and send lots of photos and video. I know he’s in good hands when I leave him with Patricia.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 15. I have helped family members, coworkers, neighbors, and other families by feeding, walking, playing with, etc. with their dogs, including both daytime visits and overnight stays. I also have experience with fostering dogs from a shelter for the day. I would love the opportunity to help you with your dog! I am a student right now and only taking four classes this semester so I have a pretty open schedule. I am available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in the mornings before 11 and anytime after 12:30/1; and Tuesdays and Thursdays before 9, 12:30-1:30, and after 3:30. My weekends are pretty much open for anytime. I have experience dealing with multiple types of dogs (different breads and sizes) and always listen to the owners request of how things should be done.
“Joe did a great job with our Macie! We were very glad that Joe was able to help out as this was a bit of a last minute request. Joe is great with communication and always prompt to respond. Thanks again Joe!!!”
“When I first met Carly, I immediately felt I could trust her and was convinced my dog would be in great hands with her. It was the first we ever let our dog to someone and we could not have wished for a better person to take care of him. In all the pictures she sent us, he looked at ease, perfectly content and, more important, loved. I highly recommend Carly and her husband.”
“Katherine is wonderful. I enjoyed reading diving texts & pictures of my Sadie while I was away. She was well cared for & I will definitely use Katherine’s services again.”
“Katarzyna and Tim were both super nice people. They sent daily videos of our dog playing. Our dog really enjoyed the pond! They both also responded to texts promptly. We will definitely use them again in the future.”
About: We've enjoyed 4 dogs and 3 cats during our marriage. Our current dog is a 2-year-old mutt who LOVES to play with other pups, and our cat. She came from an abusive home, and it took several months to help her feel safe. If you have a shy/scared dog, we are understanding and patient. I work from home, so I am available at all times. I prefer to take walks in the mornings when it's warmer, and in the afternoon or evening when it's cooler. I like to let the pups play together as much as possible, but I do like to give one-on-one time with each pup a few times each day. Gates are set up to keep pups in a safe area where I can see them at all times. We mostly allow them to play together or with toys we provide. I take each pup outside at regular intervals, as provided by their parent, to relieve themselves.

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.
94% of sitters in Germantown 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 Germantown 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 Germantown.
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 Germantown. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Germantown 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.
