“This was my very first time boarding my 11-year-old Shih Tzu, Biscuit. I originally booked only 2 nights with Kristi but ended up extending for another night because my plans were disrupted by traffic and an accident on the way back from Chicago to Ohio. Kristi is very accommodating, and I can honestly say that her whole family took excellent care of Biscuit. She constantly kept me updated with texts, photos, and videos of Biscuit, which made me feel very at ease. Thank you so much, Kristi! I will definitely contact you again to board Biscuit with you!”
“Andrew is so great to work with! He has taken very good care for our puppy while we we've been out of town on multiple occasions. Would highly recommend using him to care for your fur baby!”
“We have a 8 month old dog who had a blast with Benthany and her husband! When we arrived she had 4 dogs waiting happily to play with our puppy. They even have a backyard for her to run free. She had so much fun that she slept the entire next day. Our puppy sometimes gets lonely because of how spoiled she is and they even let her out of the cage and layed with her on the couch in the middle of the night to comfort her. They were incredible and so welcoming. Anytime we need this service again we will be using them! Thanks so much!”
“Tom and his family took such great care of my dog, Peaches. He provided so many photos and treated her like his own dog. I will definitely entrust him to care for her again!”
“Emily was amazing!! My dog immediately felt right at home and was relaxed her entire stay. I let Emily know I wouldn’t have much connection where I was going out of town, but she still sent a bunch of pictures for me to see when I got connection! Winnie came home tired which is what I always hope for! 10/10 would definitely book with her again!”
“Nicole was amazing! She was so responsive and updated me every day, multiple times on my pup! She sent me pictures and videos (as requested) and he LOVED it! She has a nice, open, and fenced yard. Her dogs were so sweet and got along great with my dog. I would 100% rebook with Nicole!”
“First time using the app in an emergency. Continued to provided updates during a timely manner with pics. Dog seemed happy and at peace . He had a great lil nap after pick up”
“Vito can be anxious in new situations, but he liked Sally and her backyard as soon as we met her! Sally is very kind, understanding, and thoughtful. She sent many beautiful pictures of Vito, which we enjoyed. While we were away, it seemed like when I thought, "I wonder how Vito is doing..." I would have a message, pictures, or a video from Sally. We felt great leaving our baby in such great hands, and we will definitely book with Sally again!”
“Hayley did a phenomenal job! I highly recommend her. Our pup is like a kid to us so we were very nervous leaving her but instantly felt comfortable with Hayley and her family! Thank you a ton for watching our pup!”
“Would definitely recommend! Michele is so sweet and took great care of my olive. Lots of walks, sent lots of pictures. My dog is pretty shy but the moment she met Michele she loved her :)”
“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!”
“Dawn was incredible. From the warm welcome upon my last minute business trip in which Atticus couldn’t join. Dawn provided fresh chicken and daily walks and her updates were detailed and lovely. Such a wonderful experience. Will be back. Thank you!”
“Sorillian took incredible care of my little pup and I could not be more grateful for her hard work! Bentley had so much fun and definitely did not want to leave. Will definitely be using her services again if necessary?”
“Michelle and Nicholas were SO responsive and took great care of Bru! Bru enjoyed her time spent with their dog and family. We were provided with a daily update along with pictures. Overall, we were very pleased with our experience with them!”
“Fernanda and Bruno (and their little girl) were wonderful hosts for my 2 puppies. One is 3 months and the other is 9 months and I was worried leaving them so soon. Fernanda made me comfortable by sending photos and continually checking in. They were also put on some medications last week (awful timing to leave them) and she administered their medication and eased my nerves about the situation. This is my first time using rover and I’m so so grateful they were amazing to my pups!🐶”
“Daisy is amazing. I appreciate the communication from beginning to end. I love the photos and videos that were sent every day ensuring me my lil phoenyx was enjoying himself while in her care. Daisy is very responsive and accommodating. I was extremely grateful to find Daisy at the last minute. While this was my first time ever booking within rover.com, Daisy made it an easy and effortless process. I am glad to say that I will be booking again during my next visit to Ohio.”
“She was absolutely wonderful with my pup! He is a special needs pup and she took wonderful care of him. He took to her right away and I felt very assured that he was well taken care of and loved. Highly recommend her!”
“Jeffrey and Jessica were very communicative during our cat Rudy’s 12 day stay with them. They sent great pictures and updates of how he was getting settled in. Rudy came home very content!”

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 Irwin 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 Irwin.
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 Irwin 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.
