“KIrsten did a great job keeping my dog. i had a meet and greet before trip so I knew my dog would be in great hands. She was quick at responding and sent me pictures and updates. Kirsten was helpful when my plans changed and i needed to update dates. Will definitely rebook.”
“This was my first time boarding my dogs and I was very worried with how they’d react being away, but Cristi was amazing! Her and her daughter are very sweet, caring and gave lots of love while looking after my girls. Cristi has a lovely home with plenty of space for the dogs, so there was no worry of them being cramped or uncomfortable. They are also great at communicating, which put me at ease while I was away. I will definitely be booking with Cristi again.”
“Lacey was fantastic! We were gone for 2 weeks and I knew from the first meetup that she was going to be great for Kylo and him being a furry tornado. Thank you so much for taking care of my little guy! Will definitely be reaching out again!”
“So incredibly attentive to our pups more than anyone we have experienced elsewhere! Send us videos of his walk, took the time to communicate some issues ours was having since he got into something back home. His emergency response and safety awareness was so comforting since we’re out of town! He is great communication, safety priority, and so loving with his training technique while walking our rambunctious 65lb pitty! Thank you so much Arya!”
“Cassie was flexible with our needs, which was crucial for the success of this particular trip. She went above and beyond making sure that Dixie had everything she needed. We truly are thankful for her services!!”
“Our two dogs love Ms Kyla! This stay was a longer one as we went on our honeymoon and we’re gone for nine days. And at the new spot. So my dogs had only been to the new house once previously for a shorter stay, so one was having a little bit more anxiety. Miss Kyla was very patient with him They knew exactly what to do to help him get comfortable. Then we started getting all these photos and updates about happy puppies. We will continue to use Miss Kyla as long as her services are available. One of the best dogs we’ve had. I’ll add that we travel about 25 minutes from our house to her house and I have no problems with that because of the care dogs receive. I’m sure we have great sitters nearby. However, the care is next level!”
“Jodi was great. Our 2 dogs stayed with her for a week while we were on vacation. Jodi sent us pics of the dogs numerous times during this time period. Jodi too care of our dogs like they were her own. Would recommend using Jodi for your doggy day care.”
“Halina was an amazing caregiver for Riley. Riley is a rescue and takes a while to warm up to new people, but she bonded with Halina and the pictures shared showed us she had the time of her life. Halina anticipated her needs and kept her busy. It's obvious that Halina has a lot of experience with many kinds of dogs. Their goodbye was so sweet when we picked her up. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have 2 dogs of my own and have been around dogs my whole life. I treat each dog like my own and give them lots of love and cuddles! I have experience with administering medication and caring for senior and epileptic dogs. I currently work from home full time and my evenings and weekends are mostly free, so your pup will have all of my attention all day! I have a fully fenced in yard, and two dogs, Bodhi (German shepherd, 3) and Dusty (golden retriever mix, 8) to keep your pup company and play around in the back yard! Both dogs are well socialized and live making new friends!

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 Gratiot 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 Gratiot 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 Gratiot.
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.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.
