“Pam has a very nice home and big back yard. She has children and other dogs that are great with visitors. She took excellent care of Drake while we were away. We will definitely use her again.”
“Keylor and Grace were very accommodating when I was running late and when I picked Molly up earlier than expected. They were gracious and kind and took very good care of our Frenchie. She had such a good time with the bigger dogs; she was sad at home without them.”
“Fantastic!! This was our first experience with using Rover. We could not be happier with the wonderful family that took care of my Enzo while we went away for several days. Hannah and her family took Enzo in as a family member. She kept me informed and sent pictures and videos of him living a good life with her family. Hannah was fabulous!”
“Lauri is so caring and lets us know what’s going on with our Izzy, which gives us much comfort. Highly recommend her care and she is a special person we are lucky to know!!”
“Tina is awesome. She loves our little girl and makes her daycare, as well as her overnight stays enjoyable. Roo sprints to her door when we arrive. She’s very accommodating and flexible with our schedules. I love that I can get a response from her quickly. She’s a great Rover sitter and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a genuine lover of dogs.”
“We were very nervous to leave our high energy guy with anyone but Katelyn & Nicholas were the perfect fit! The large yard and other companions kept Bo very busy and happy. They sent us daily updates with pictures and were promt to answer when we texted to check in. Katelyn & Nicholas took the best care of our boy!”
“Samantha responded promptly to questions and updated often on how our boy, Tate, was doing . Tate had so much fun, I was worried he may not want to come home 😆 Highly recommend Samantha!”
About: I’m a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule and a great space for your fur baby to play! I’ve owned a lot of different dogs breeds my entire life ranging in size from a chihuahua to a golden retriever. I love routine and will follow your dog care needs exactly how they’re used to. They will receive a ton of love, cuddles and play time from me and my three animal loving kids. We have 5 acres of yard space to play and maintained walking trails in the back of our property for daily walks. I will only accept dogs that are potty trained and good with little kids. I’m happy to administer medication, give treats and give you plenty of updates on how they are doing as I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone else. I am home a lot and have a very flexible schedule. I can give frequent bathroom breaks and follow whatever schedule your dog is used too I have a very large yard to run and play in and have well maintained grass walking trails on my property.

“Rumi took great care of my Bernese mountain dog Flynn! He was in literal paradise, she sent updates with photos, she was very easy to get ahold of and communicate with, and made his entire stay so wonderful! We will for sure be using her services again!!”
“We left town with complete peace of mind knowing Cameron would take great care of our fur baby. The regular photo updates gave us the reassurance we needed while we were away, and it was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We truly appreciated Cameron’s reliability and excellent communication. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“I was a nervous wreck leaving our dog for 1st time with a total stranger. But Caitlyn was absolutely wonderful! She took such good care of our precious baby, sent us regular photos with updates, and was so patient with my frequent texts. It was obvious when I dropped my dog off at Caitlyn's that their family loves dogs and animals in general because their yard is set up like a paradise to feed the birds, butterflies, and even saw 11 deer feeding in their backyard! Beautiful place and our baby was safe in dog fence and well cared for.”
About: I’m very active, and love all animals. Trust and being reliable is important, Especially when it comes to our loved ones. I have reoccurring clients for references, if needed. I have a flexible part-time job, so I can commit to your schedule and needs for your loved ones. I have outside references. Thank you I have a fenced in yard and plenty of room for playtime! I also enjoy walking the dogs, on a daily basis, to walk off some energy!
About: I have lived on a farm since I was born until college, and my parents still live on one. I love all animals and always willing to help out. I don’t mind if they are wild puppies or older dogs we will get though the walk or stay together! I only work 2 days a week, so my schedule is pretty open! I have a very large back yard not fenced in, but I can take out all dogs on a leash.I have one other dog that your dog can play with or we can play inside to make sure everyone stays safe! I plan on walking them throughout the neighborhood. If I go to a clients house whatever the clients wants me to do to best care for their dog I will.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
100% of Howard sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Howard landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Howard 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 Howard.
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.
You and your Howard 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.
