“Hazbleydy I. & her husband were great! My dog can be very anxious and is usually not fond of new people but she had a great time at their house. Hazbleydy kept me updated with pictures the entire time, and even went out to get supplies for my dog that had ran out of during the stay. I would highly recommend her!”
About: Hello! Thanks for considering me to care for your fur babies! I’m an avid animal lover and always have been! I started when I was 10 years old, my neighbors across the street had a boxer and a bull dog they would have me care for when they went on family vacations. From then on my love for pet sitting had grown. In high school I was involved with FFA & agriculture classes, especially when it came to animal sciences. I competed on a state level veterinary science FFA competition in 2017 at Murray state University, and am registered in animal nutrition. I currently have 2 dogs of my own, moose is a 2 year old Great Pyrenees, and Gracie is a 6 year old Australian shepherd. I also have a 6 year old cat, he’s an indoor only kitty! My pets are my world plus some, they make my world go round. I work from home Tues-Saturday, and my work is very independent. I only have 1 meeting a day around lunch time, with 2 15 minute breaks, and then a 30 minute lunch break. During my breaks i give my dogs potty breaks & fetch time, but im able to give them potty breaks whenever necessary! As I mentioned in my experience, I work from home! Tuesday-Friday I work 10am-6:30pm. I receive 2 paid 15 minute breaks, and a 30 minute lunch break. My work is very independent, and if needed I’m able to step away from my desk for a few minutes. During my 15’s I like to sit out on the porch and soak up some sunshine, while the dogs potty, play, or enjoy the fresh air! On my lunch break, I eat as quick as I can so I can get outside to play fetch with my Australian shepherd Gracie! My Great Pyrenees, moose, is a laid back big ol boy, he goes with the flow all day long. My Aussie gracie on the other hand, is very routine based! We feed gracie before bed time to prevent tummy upsets during the day due to her high energy. I’m very aware of how dogs can be when it comes to feeding, and I tend to feed pets separately to prevent any tiffs. I have a large fenced in yard, and 2 dogs to keep your pup company! Both of my dogs are very friendly, and very well behaved. They’re both crate trained, and we have 2 crates for them. We love toys around here, so we have lots of toys to choose from!
About: I have had many animals! From reptiles, to chinchillas all the way to dogs & cats I’ve had a lot of experience with many different pets. I am a big animal person! As a first time cat mom I fully understand how important it is to have a pet sitter who helps you feel secure in leaving your fur babies with them. Not only am I a trustworthy person, I’m very attentive to detail and reliable. I’m currently unemployed, doing odd jobs like dog sitting, house cleaning, and babysitting. Therefore, I would have PLENTY of time to play with your fur babies!! We have plenty of cat toys your cats can play with, including 2 cats! Our cats are very pet friendly and love having new friends to play with. We also have dogs who are very friendly and love to run and play! I can take your pets on walks, play with them, and more!
“April was a great puppy sitter. I have a 4 month old miniature poodle. HOLLY. Holly fell in love with April. I can tell Holly was very well cared for. I will be using her again. Highly recommend. I loved she sent Pics daily.”
“Avery and her family were wonderfully loving and caring for our 15-year-old Pittie who had declined in health significantly over the last two months. We hoped beyond hope that he would make it until we returned home from an out-of-town wedding...and he did...in large part to Avery and her family giving him a ton of love for his last several days! They are as heartbroken as we are now that he is no longer with us. :)”
“Jessica was absolutely the best pet sitter! She was so sweet and really loves animals! She has the best setup for watching them in her home! She had a nice area for my cat to be separate if he chose to from her pets - but her pets were awesome also! I highly recommend her to everyone! I had been super anxious and worried about leaving my kitty, but my mind was at ease and I could relax on vaca because I knew my kitty was being extremely well taken care of! She also sent daily pics and notes, which was so great! Thank you so much Jessica!”
“Megan and David are amazing! I was so nervous to leave my older girl with her high maintenance health care needs, but I was able to have a relaxing trip knowing she was in good hands. They have a ton of animal care experience and the sweetest dog who was so patient; my girl was able to fit right in with the family. They are quick to respond and gave me daily updates with pictures. I couldn't recommend them enough and hope they are available the next time my pup needs a home away from home.”
“We were very happy with Kim. She communicates really well and is great with dogs. We were using another sitter and we would get our dog returned a hot mess— but not with Kim. She is very kind, and caters to our dog’s needs and preferences to make their stay very easy and comfortable.”
“Annie comes back so very happy and calm and she is so well taken care of! She loved it at her home away from home! Thanks for being so loving and kind and for the pictures! We had a great time scrapbooking knowing Annie was in good hands.”
“This was our first time boarding our two-year-old toy goldendoodle, Onyx, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! We received daily updates and lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Onyx was loved and completely spoiled with plenty of cuddles, attention, and fun farm adventures. He looked so happy the entire time! We are incredibly grateful for the excellent care he received, and we already know he'll be back for many more farm excursions. Highly recommend!”
“This was our dog’s first stay with Paige and her family. I could tell from the daily pictures and updates that he had a wonderful time. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip without guilt or worry knowing he was having so much fun. Having the children to play with was really great! A lovely family, and I can’t thank them enough!”
“Ronald and his family could not have been better sitters for our 2 labs. They were so thoughtful and provided a loving home for our pups while we were away. I will definitely continue to book Ronald on future trips.”
“Susan took great care of our 2 miniature schnauzers while we were away. She sent pictures multiple times a day so we always knew what the dogs had been up to and could see they were doing well! Thanks for taking care of our dogs like they were your own while we were away!”
“Katie was flexible and accommodating. She was easy to communicate with, and she sent several pictures and updates. We will definitely contact her in the future if we need a sitter :)”
“Nancy has been great with ou senior dog. She makes sure he feels comfortable and safe. Nancy takes him potty often especially because he's a senior dog. She is super flexible and has great communication. Both of her pupps do a great job with Domi as well. We will continue using her as long as she keeps Rovering.”
“Marina and Michael took excellent care of our furry baby while we went on a trip and left her for the first time ever. She sent lots of updates with pics and made it so much easier being without our girl for a week, knowing she was in good hands :-)”
“Rebecca cared for our two Labs for 17 days while we were out of the country. They were clearly in great hands - we got a daily update (with photos), they got lots of exercise and attention, she capably navigated one of our dog’s anxiety issues, and she quickly communicated any questions or concerns. Our confidence in her allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation instead of stressing about their care.”
“Katie and her family took such good care of our pup! The videos and photos they sent made me confident that I had picked the right person to care for our baby! Would 100% recommend to anyone!”

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.
83% of sitters in Higginsport 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 Higginsport 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 Higginsport.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Higginsport 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.
