“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!”
“Katelyn and Nicholas were both welcoming and a great host for our 11 month old golden retriever. We were provided frequent updates/pictures which was comforting because this was our first trip without our dog. We will return if we ever need their services again!”
About: Reliable, loving, and passionate about pets and their care! I treat every furry friend like my own, providing walks, cuddles, and care tailored to their personality! Your pets happiness and safety are my top priorities. I currently have a flex schedule so I work different shifts constantly but have an amazing job that I’m able to make almost about anything work! Message me with the dates you need and I’ll make it happen! I have a great community to take your pets in and tons of parks to play with other animals if they’d like! I’m here to provide a clean, calm, and friendly home to your pets.
“Maple was in such good hands while we were gone! We got multiple pictures a day and Kylee and Mike were quick to respond with any questions. Would highly recommend to anyone needing someone to trust their dog with!”
“Leaving your beloved pet w/ someone new isn’t easy. Sally made the transition easier. Sent updates often accompanied w/ pix. Great communication between us.. Dogs were taken care of well . Definitely would rebook.”
About: I’ve loved every animal I’ve come in contact with since I was a little girl. I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, a few birds, small caged animals and aquariums for 35+ years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from Chihuahua's to Rottweiler’s, the high energy of Boxer’s and the laziness and cuddles from my very own Shih-Tzus. I know how I want my animals to be cared for and I can guarantee yours will be loved as my own when in my care. I’m currently a stay at home dog mom. My days and home are open to care for your pets when you are away at work or on vacation. Your dogs vacation will here will be as enjoyable as the one you are on. In the event I have to leave the home, your dog will only be left for a maximum of 2 hours. I have a fully fenced yard, a gated front porch, a two point entry coming in from garage. Dogs will have big comfy couches, plush dog beds, fresh blankets, clean bowls and endless love and treats (if allowed) If you prefer a crate for overnights or down time, one can be provided for you. If medication is needed I am a master at administration, just ask my dogs :)
“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!”
“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.”
“Liliana did an amazing job taking care of our 9 year old dog! She kept us updated with how Molly was doing and sent us daily photos. We will definitely be booking again with her in the future!”
“Travis was great with my dog, Bella! He took the time to introduce her to his dog in such a way that neither felt threatened and they are now good play buddies! He did a great job sending me updates, photos and videos and we will definitely be using him again!”
“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!”
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Carly! She was flexible with drop off and pick up times, took him for several long walks, played with him, and sent great photo/video updates! She even wrote him a little report card 🥹 She went above and beyond and my pup can’t wait to visit her again! Thank you so much!”
“Biscuit had such a great time at Laken’s. He has friends to play with and gets all kinds of cuddles and love while I’m away. Laken sends fantastic updates and pictures!!”
“Denise and Don were our pups home away from home. They are awesome dog people and we loved getting daily photos and updates on our fur babies. Their fenced yard put us at ease especially for our senior dog with dementia. They treated our pups like their own and would highly recommend! Accommodating, responsive, kind, and happy people. Heck, we could see ourselves hanging out with them.”
“Kelly and Ben were absolutely wonderful with Paloma! We got lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Paloma was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. They were kind, communicative, and so easy to work with. We will definitely be booking with Kelly and Ben again! Highly recommend!”
“I can’t recommend Kyra enough as a dog sitter! She was absolutely incredible—professional, friendly, and kind. She took amazing care of my dogs and made the whole experience stress-free. Kyra was also extremely communicative, checking in with me daily and providing updates. Her attention to detail and genuine care for my pet made a huge difference. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“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!”

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Homer 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 Homer 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 Homer.
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 Homer. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 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 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.
