“Would definitely use Ramona again! Winnie enjoyed her "country club" stay! Came home exhausted!! Beautiful home and fenced area to run about. Thanks Ramona for accommodating us last minute!”
“Archna did great with my pups (11yo lab and 1yo aussie mix). I usually board the dogs at our vet, but they were full over Christmas. I think they were much more comfortable with Archna. They got personalized attention, and she sent updates/ pictures thru the week. I would use Archna again!”
“Rachel was amazing to work with. She was very responsive and sent pictures of my dogs throughout their stay, she took them on walks, and I felt truly at ease with them at her house. Will definitely use again.”
“Jeffany does an absolutely amazing job! Super prompt responses to questions/issues and pictures twice/day. Our dogs always return clean and happy with all of their things organized and blankets washed. I am EXTREMELY picky as to who watches our bulldogs and we will always use Jeffany when they are available! Highly recommend”
“Jennifer gave us many updates throughout the day when we were on our vacation out of the country. She treated Winnie as her own, letting her spend a lot of time on her lap and cuddling. We felt confident that Winnie was in good hands during her stay.”
“Our expericence with Katherine was great. It was our first time using Rover and it's safe to say our Oakley had a great time. Katherine was extremely easy to work with and communication was phenomonal. She sent pictures and videos throughout our pup's stay which was awesome. I would definitely recommend her and would even use her again in the future.”
“Thank you Takia for taking such great care of Charlie! We appreciated the communication and updates throughout the sit. He was clearly happy after spending time with your family. Thank you again!”
“They took amazing care of our dog. I have never seen him so happy. They sent photos every day and kept us in the loop of what was going on all week. Communication was fantastic. Would highly recommend booking them to watch your dog.”
“Phillis and Mike did an amazing job. Always sending pictures and videos of our Ellie a 1 year old Golden Retriever. I would highly recommend them to anyone. We definitely will be back again. Thanks you very much”
“Lillian is for sure a dog whisperer! She sent me a update each day with pictures. Blondie remembered her from our meet and greet! I love the experience! I will return!!”
“Brendan & Sarah were absolutely fabulous! They treated my pup like their own and sent me updates and pictures…i am so sad I found them at the end of my time in Cleveland because i definitely would have been using them regularly!”
“Stacie and Doug are the best! They treated our Westie like the Queen that she is and sent us notes so we could remain connected. We met in advance of our booking to get to know each other and they were very kind when I had some last minute changes to our agenda. Our pup got along very well with their pup and we would recommend them for your pup as well!”
“We have a young 4-month-old Irish terrier that we needed to be watched for a weekend. This is our first puppy and also our first time boarding him. Cara was very accommodating of our pickup/dropoff schedule and put our nerves at ease with a phone call prior to booking. She has a dog (Brutus) who is off-lead trained who really showed Sully how to be a good dog. Sully came home much more relaxed and no longer trying to bite us! Cara gave us some really good tips and tricks on how to improve our dog’s behavior and we are very appreciative. Already booked her again. Cannot recommend Cara enough! You pup will be safe, happy, well-exercised, and perhaps even better behaved than you left them!”
“Shannon did such a great job caring for Cinna. She took her for walks, gave me frequent updates & lots of pictures, and gave Cinna lots of love & attention! She also has a nice big fenced in backyard and two sweet pups of her own that Cinna could play with all weekend. Looking forward to booking with her again!”
“Lorie took great care of our senior dog who has lots of medical needs. She is warm and compassionate and clearly loves all of the doggies as her own. She sent us regular updates and pictures while we were away. We felt like our dog was in better care with Lorie than when we have boarded him at the vet - and he was definitely more comfortable with a home environment. Thank you, Lorie!”
“Riya was the very best dog and house sitter! I felt so very at ease knowing she was there. She brought her wonderful dog too-at our request. And sent lots of pics of our smiling pup! Highly recommend! Thank you Riya!!”

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
