About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I’m truly passionate about. I have lifelong experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with special needs, including administering medications and following detailed care instructions. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and personality to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing with plenty of attention, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your best friend is in loving, reliable hands. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your furbaby! I am available throughout the week and weekends. Drop off and pickup will be anytime between 9:30am and 12:30pm or after 4:30 pm I have a fenced in yard for your pup to play in as much as he/she wants to. I also have outdoor kennels available for the pups to stay in during the day(weather permitting) or indoor crates when I am away for work(up to 4 hours). Tie outs can also be used if your pup is an escape artist. Boarding pets will be kept separate from my own pets unless otherwise agreed upon.
About: Hi! My name is Olivia and I am 28 years old! I've had dogs my whole life and my dream is to own my own dog sitting business. I am currently a Travel Physical Therapist full time. On the weekends or even week days I would love to watch your pup. Watching dogs or cats is fun for me. I'm from WV, and went to Marshall University. I'm super active and will walk your dog when needed. Your fur baby will be in good hands! I am a full time physical therapist. I get off on fridays at 1 pm so I would be able to watch your dog over the weekend! I have two friendly small dogs. There is a dog park close by that I could take your animals to. My dogs sleep with me and are crate trained when I leave.
About: Growing up I always had dogs. They were always considered another member of our family. We always trained our own puppies. I've taken care of family members dogs before and puppy sitted in the past. I am a dog mom of two dogs currently. I love dogs and their unique personalities. I love to be outdoors so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I'm available evenings during the week and all day on Friday through Sunday. But im always flexible so just let me know what you need and we can work things out to fit your pets needs. Making them feel at home and loved will be my number one priority. I have a fenced in yard and 2 fur babies that will keep your dogs company. Or I can easily crate your dog if needed or I can separate them from my fur babies in another fenced in area. Whatever you prefer I can arrange.
“Christine was the best “Mom” to our JRT Chloe. She picked her up and dropped her off and sent pics every day. It was the best experience. I have only used a dog sitter for Chloe twice in 7 years and again Christine was the best! Thank you so much!”
“This was the second time April watched our dog and we enjoyed our vacation so much more because we felt so comfortable leaving him with her. She treats him like he is part of her family.”

“Hanna was great with our pup during our weekend trip. Many pictures and updates kept us worry free while we were on the road. The beautiful scenery on her farmland makes for a great place for any furry friends to relax and play. Our girl will definitely be back with Hanna during our next adventure!”

About: Over the past 20 years, I’ve cared for three of my own dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, giving me firsthand experience with every stage of life—from potty training and high energy phases to gentle senior care. I’ve also raised kittens into senior cats, so I’m comfortable with feline personalities and needs as well. Beyond my own pets, I’ve regularly helped care for the dogs and cats of family and friends. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, love, and attention I gave my own. As a stay-at-home mom, pet care fits very naturally into my daily schedule. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, maintain their routines, and provide a calm, present environment while you’re away. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own space. I take a patient, gentle approach and pay close attention to each animal’s unique temperament—whether that means playtime and energy for a young pup or a quiet, reassuring presence for a shy cat. In addition to everyday care, I’m experienced in administering medications, including oral meds and insulin injections for diabetic cats. I understand how important consistency, attentiveness, and trust are when caring for pets with medical needs, and I’m confident providing that level of care. I’ve also been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends over the years, helping with walks, feedings, routines, and lots of affection. Every pet I care for is treated with the same love and attention I gave my own. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and your pet a calm, loving experience while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities, whether I’m caring for them in your home or welcoming them into mine. In my home, pets are treated like family. I have a friendly, well-socialized dog and cats who are accustomed to other animals, creating a calm and welcoming environment. I’m mindful of introductions and each pet’s personality to ensure everyone feels safe and at ease. Dogs are always leashed for daily walks, and I have a large yard that allows for extra exercise and playtime in a secure space. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to closely supervise pets, maintain their routines, and give them consistent attention and companionship. When caring for pets in your home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to keeping your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any special preferences you share. I also offer meet-and-greets before bookings so you and your pet can feel comfortable and confident. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me, and I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in loving, attentive hands.
“Arya was excellent with Cali. He obviously knows and loves dogs. She was well-cared for and we received regular videos of their fun. As an added bonus, he worked with her on her leash behavior. Will definitely rebook again. Highly recommend”

“Kimberly is FANTASTIC! I would recommend her services to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet. I like how she took the time to provide both a meet and greet and a visit to her home before our dog’s stay. We were nervous our dog would be scared to be in a new environment, but Kimberly helped her feel comfortable and they had a great stay together. I also want to compliment how respectful her son was of our dog - Kimberly stated she has taught her son how to treat animals and it resulted in our dog not feeling stressed out with anyone invading her personal space or pushing her boundaries - I really appreciated that! Kimberly was also kind enough to send updates and photos to make it easier to be away from our favorite pup. We had a great vacation knowing our dog was being well taken care of :)”


“Courtney and family took care of our two little gals that have never stayed with anyone from Rover before and she made them and us feel very comfortable. They had fun playing with the other dogs at the house. I would definitely trust her for them to stay again.”
About: I have owned dogs and cats since 1985 and was on a K9 Search and Rescue team for 18+ years so I have worked with all types of dogs and have a lot of experience with training. I currently work outside the home M-F 9-5 but can work from home upon request. Weekends I am home the majority of the time and spend most of my time hanging out with my own dogs (two labs) I have hosted a variety of dogs in my home including corgis, labs, goldens, frenchies, pitties, mals, and other assorted breeds. I treat everyone's pets just like my own - lots of treats, snuggles, couch naps, and of course sleeping on the bed if they want. Both of my labs are extremely friendly and love pretty much all dogs, but I do have experience sitting some dogs who preferred to be separate from my boys via either baby gates or kennels (depending on what the dog is comfortable with). I have a large fenced in backyard and a smaller fenced in front yard. The backyard has a doggie door that allows the dogs to go in and out at will, although when I am not home, I do not give any dogs access to the yard (even my own dogs as a safety issue).
About: I have been caring of dogs since I was 10 and I love them so much from tiny dogs to huge dogs they are all welcomed here! Your dog with be safe and comfort with me! I currently work in HR at a local foundry, morning shifts. Flexible tho cause someone’s always at home!! Happy to work around whatever hours you need!! I care for my dog like he is my child.. and for your dog I will do the same as long as you need me to!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
