“Communicative and professional! Put my mind at ease being away from my baby Gizmo in a new state for so long, but he fit in just fine and was very timely with responses! Would love to use again when we come up next year!”
“I love my puppies more than anything, so naturally I don't trust just anyone to care for them. So I panicked when I had to go to a convention in Las Vegas. That's when a friend recommended Rover. Thankfully, out of the multitude of people on Rover, I found Emily. She, and her husband, have been truly wonderful in every respect. They took excellent care of my puppies, fed them on time, took them on walks, have them plenty of toys and stimulation, and sent amazing pics regularly. I couldn't ask for better people to watch my dogs. I'll certainly be working with them again for my dog watching needs. Thank you very much for everything Emily!”
“Katelyn and Nicholas do a great job with Jack and I am so lucky to have found them when we go out of town for extended periods and can’t take our pup. I would highly recommend them if they’re in your area!”
“Leslie watched our 2 dogs for 1 week this summer and i could not have felt more comfortable. Leslie is very thorough in her process and extremely tentative to monitoring the dogs and their behaviors to make sure they are comfortable. She sent us pictures and videos everyday and gave us updates on what they did. We will for sure be using Leslie again for future boarding needs.”
“Fantastic care provided for our shitzu with updates and pictures. We were confident our little guy was in great hands and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
“Erika was amazing, very caring with my Malula, was accommodating and always gives you great daily reports with pictures and activities, my dog was super happy and so I was, as I have never left her with someone I didn't know before, and must say it was a great experience, I highly recommend her, it's a super fabulous pet sitter and host, she make space for my dog only in her house, and give her many walks and play time! Even have her a little toy. Honestly thank you Erika!! You were amazing and my dog was so happy!! I will def choose her again w my baby!!”
“Jamie cared for our dogs while we were out of town, and she is fantastic. She sent a ton of pictures so we could see what they were up to. It looks like she walked and played with our dogs the whole weekend. When we picked them up from her house, they were calm and happy. We will definitely ask Jamie to take care of our dogs again. We could not have asked for a better dog sitter. Jamie is truly wonderful!”
“Tharatip & Daniel did a fantastic job sitting for Chewie! They sent several pics and videos over the weekend while they watched her. They were treating her like part of their family which is what we were looking for. Thanks again!”
“They took great care of my active dog Honey and sent updates and videos while I was away for that extra peace of mind. Thanks Michelle and Justin for the wonderful love and attention you gave Honey while we were away!!!”
“Tamisha was wonderful with our big baby. He’s very energetic, playful and smart. She exercised him regularly and cared for him like her own. We would definitely request her services again.”
“Laken is great! She made my dog part of the family instantly and cared for him like her own. She sent updates and photos and it was clear my dog was being loved and cared for. Thank you for everything :)”
“Heidi was great! We had a family event to go to and it was all day. She sent pictures and updates while they were there. Heidi has a very safe environment for the dogs. There is a nice yard where they can play. My dogs were very comfortable there and did not bark once when we left. And I have a Chihuahua!”
About: I’ve had many different types of dogs throughout my life. More recently I’ve helped care for and watch friends and family members pets while away. I have bathed and groomed my own dog for the last 5+ years. We love long walks, playtime, and most of all the zoomies. My daughter also loves to snuggle and play with any dog that will have her! Due to my daughter’s allergies I am boarding doodles and hypoallergenic dogs only. If we could host all dogs, trust me we would! I currently work full-time Monday-Friday, but I am able to take pets into the office with me any day but weekend stays are preferred. Animals make me happy and any day is better with a dog friend around! I have a flexible schedule and am excited to help care for your pet! I have a large unfenced side yard for pets to explore and potty. A pet friendly neighborhood where lots of dogs are walked at all times of the day. Your pets have free range to my condo minus the basement and are welcome to snuggle up on the couch or bed!
“I can’t say enough good things about Nicolette. She’s sweet and compassionate. She took care of my little Princess like she was her own. I know she gave her lots of love and attention and cuddle time. Princess gets two eye creams twice a day and Nicolette handled that with no problem. She gave me daily reports about how Princess was doing and she sent lots of pictures. I felt completely comfortable with Nicolette and I know she took wonderful care of my fur baby. I will definitely use her again!”
“Linsey, was awesome! I had someone else bail last minute and Lindsey took the time to explain her schedule and make sure it would work with Tess's needs. Then she sent updates and asked permission before spoiling Tess by letting her sleep on a bed. I think Tess might prefer Lindsey over us now.”
About: I have been a dedicated dog owner for 5 years and frequently pet-sit for friends and neighbors. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I can handle basic commands and ensure they get plenty of exercise and love. I treat every pet as if they were my own. i currently work part-time from home, so I have plenty of flexibility during the day for potty breaks and walks. I am available for boarding full-time on weekends, and on Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday and weekend I am home the whole day. Monday and Friday will be home after 3pm. I have an unfenced yard, but I always supervise the dogs closely and keep them on a leash to ensure their absolute safety. I live in a very safe, pet-friendly community with beautiful surroundings and plenty of open space for long walks and exercise. I also have a 3-year-old spayed cat who is very gentle and quiet; she has her own private space but occasionally comes out to play. My home is clean, and I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“Brian Thank you for taking care of my Harper. I felt a sense of peace seeingthe daily updates and pictures of him and Mario playing and enjoying each other. It looked like Harper settled in quite well from the photos. Moreover, the flexibility in scheduling drop/pickup times for me during this trip was so appreciated. Thank you again for being so awesome! I would highly recommend”
“This was our first time leaving Poppy with Molly. We felt very comfortable leaving Poppy with her. She was kind and understanding of all of Poppy’s needs. Molly responded quickly whenever we had a question. She will be our go to whenever we need care for Poppy again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Homer home-away-from-home, 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 Homer.
<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 Homer 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 , 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 .
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.
