Amanda was so accommodating and sent us updates with pictures of Theo each day of our trip. It was very comforting knowing that he was with someone who cared so much! We would happily book with Amanda and her husband again.”

This was my first experience leaving Oreo with a someone outside my family and all of my insecurities went away the very first day he was there. I would highly recommend her and will definitely reach out again if I need to leave Oreo again!”

“This was our second booking with Keksey. She's super easy going and great with our fur baby. Her dog, Mozilla, also seems to enjoy Lilys company. We got some pics of the dogs playing together and some chill time pics too. Im an anxious dog dad because I worry about my dog when im not around but Kelsey has taken great care of her on both occasions. I highly recommend her anyone who needs care for their baby. Just dont take any of the dates I need. 🤣”

About: I have loved and taken care of dogs for years. I am a Dog lover for sure. I have dog sat for family members many times. Retired so I have all day to care for your pets. I am here to give potty breaks as needed and lots and lots of attention. I have a fenced in yard. I have two small dogs that love to play. I live in a small neighborhood with no traffic or noise.
“Anna took such great care of my dogs. They’re both anxious but she made them feel comfortable. She sent me pictures and updates daily without me asking for them and I really appreciated that. I drove 30 min knowing they would be in good hands. I would def recommend Anna! Thanks so much! 🙏🏻”

“I can’t recommend Maria enough! She takes amazing care of my fur babies which includes taking them on lots of walks, which they love. She really helped me out when I was in a bind and was able to take my fur baby overnight with very short notice. I am so thankful to have found her!”
“Rex seems to have had a great time! We got daily updates and pictures which was awesome and everything from drop-off to pickup went smoothly. Would definitely ask Jonathon to watch Rex again in the future if needed.”

“Alayna was super kind and responsive. Sent lots of pictures of my pup while I was gone! My dog just ran right into her house when I dropped her off, so I knew it was going to go well. I plan to utilize her services in the future!”
“Kara took great care of our princess Chloe who can be a little high maintenance at times. Provided good communication during the stay with updates and pics. Will definitely consider using Kara again (assuming she is ok with the “Velcro” dog treatment).”
“My husband and I had to go out of town for his work. Our boy Fenrir needed to be watched seeing we couldn't take him. We are very pleased. After the meet and greet I felt comfortable leaving Fenrir. He had so much fun and was well taken care of. We most definitely were able to have a good time and not have to worry about Fenrir. We most definitely will be booking again. If we could give more than 5 stars we would.”

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