“Our dog Ninja had a great time with Sally. We're not local to Columbus so it was much appreciated to have someone to look after our dog while we attended a family reunion. Next time we are in the are we will be sure to book Sally again.”
“Emily was great! This was our first time using a sitter instead of a boarding facility. She was quick to respond to messages and sent pictures. Our girl came home rested and happy instead of stressed out and exhausted from no sleep. Thank you!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since the age of 10. It started with just neighbors, family, friends, and has expanded to friends of friends. I have a dog of my own, a pitbull boxer mix, and have fallen in love with every dog I have ever meet. I have worked with all kinds of animals fish, snake, chinchillas, goats, cats, and dogs. I provided them with walks, food, bathes, and cleaning their habitat. I work part time serving at nights usually. I always have two days off but with having a pretty open schedule this gives me lots of time to care for your pet(s). I have lots of experience with large dogs (Cane Corsos over 100lbs) and was able to handle them with ease. I have a very high energy dog myself so I don't mind the excitement!
“Daniel did a great job taking care of Louie! He was communicative, sent daily updates and photos, and went above and beyond to be sure Louie was well taken care of. Louie struggles to eat in new places and Daniel did everything he could to be sure Louie ate as much as possible, it was so appreciated.”
“Hannah was great with Marshall! She was quick at responding and sent pictures. Marshall really enjoyed his stay and he can’t wait until next time! I’ll definitely try to work with her again.”
“My pups had a wonderful time with Sydney. She was very attentive to them and I received many pictures and lots of communication. She was wonderful, would highly recommend.”
“It is probably the best experience we had from Rover so far. They were great with Benji, he got plenty of attention and play which he needs! Also excellent updates with pics, we knew he was in good caring hands. Will definitely recommend and book again!”
About: I lived with my brother’s dog for over 20 months, but I unfortunately no longer live with her now. I have done three house sits for cats but will accept dog only 😊 I work full time on weekdays and am available on weekends only (Friday night to Sunday night). I will be exploring parks and be happy to be in the nature with your dog. I will feed your dog regularly. I will make sure that your dog gets regular bathroom breaks (every 6 hours) and may send you a lot of photos.
“This was my first time using Katie and I was a little skeptical about finding a "new" person to watch my dog while I was out of town. However, Katie made the process very easy and she sent numerous pictures and updates throughout the day. It put my mind at ease. I will definitely be using her again. Buckeye (my dog) was well taken care of while he was with her.”
“Moki always loves her stay with Stacey and her family. The kids are so good with Moki too 🫶. It’s a nice vacation for Moki. She gets plenty of walks and play time. Stacey follows Moki’s feeding instructions, and I have peace ☮️ knowing Moki is very well taken care of and loved. Thank you, Chrissy”
“Amy and her family are wonderful!! She is kind and caring and my Kona felt like part of their family. I could not leave a higher recommendation. Thank you, Amy. It was sooo appreciated. Kona loved it!!”

Lindsey was exceptional in taking care of my four Rat Terriers at her home for four days. I had to leave the state for our Dad’s Celebration of Life event, and I knew that my dogs were in good hands. They played outside with other dogs, played with children, and were hesitant about going back home! Thank you Lindsey! 🐾
Ally, thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my Onyx. I truly appreciated the love, attention, and care you provided while I was away. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my baby was in such good caring hands. You did an amazing job, and I’m so grateful for everything you did! ❤️🐾I will definitely be reaching out again. Also, thank you permanent for understanding when my brother had an emergency and was unable to pick Onyx up on time. You were flexible when you didn't have to be, that gesture speaks volumes to your commitment to the fur babies and their parents. BIG HUGE THANK YOU KINDLY, you are pretty dope. Lydia Blackmon
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! 💯 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Christian did a great job watching my dog for a night! His resident dog was super friendly and playful and they enjoyed lots of time on long walks and at the dog park. He made sure to send lots of pictures and updates while I was gone. Will definitely book with him again!
I had such a wonderful experience leaving Baelfire with Olivia! She was incredibly kind, polite, and communicative throughout the entire stay, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated and was caring and attentive with Baelfire. It’s always a little stressful leaving your pet with someone new, but I felt comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter! 🐾❤️

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 Grandview Heights 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 Grandview Heights 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 Grandview Heights.
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 Grandview Heights. 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 Grandview Heights 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.
