“We traveled from Pittsburgh to Marion for a family wedding and needed someone to watch our dog Paddington during the ceremony and reception, and Jennifer was wonderful! We got to meet her adorable Bulldog, Diesel, which was a great bonus. Jennifer's communication was excellent throughout, keeping us updated and sharing photos so we could fully enjoy the celebration without worry. We would absolutely recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative pet sitter!”
“Monica is just so great with Shiloh and I can tell that Soon is very well taken care of. This was the first time she had an extended stay and every day I received a morning update on how Shiloh was with a cute photo. Shiloh is so excited for her next visit!”
“Johnathan was incredible at communicating! He also had a nice clean home with two very nice dogs. Remy was extremely happy when I picked him up! Will definitely be using him again!”
About: I truly love all animals and will treat your pet as my own while they are in my care! I have experience house sitting, walking, feeding, playing, and experience with senior pets. I would love the opportunity to spend time with your pet and give them the love and care they need while you are away! I work fully from home so I have a very flexible schedule during the week and weekends. I work Monday through Friday and can fit pet care in the mornings, midday, and evenings those days. I do not work weekends so I am even more available Saturdays and Sundays. I will care for your pet in your home exactly as you would. I carefully follow all instructions provided and will be communicative throughout my time with your pet. I can assist with anything you may need in your home as well, such as plants or getting mail. I know the stress of being away from your pet, so I am here to make it as easy on you as possible!
“Rachel and Newton were excellent. We got 'Good Morning' pictures every day, and we knew our pup was in good loving hands. They were very accommodating to his schedule, taking notes when we dropped him off. Would 100% book with them again.”
“Otheus did a great job with my 2 doggos. He kept me updated throughout the day on how they were doing and when we came to pick up the boys the next morning, both of the boys seemed to enjoy being around him. He has a great setup for the dogs, and we plan on using him again in the future.”
“Kristin & family are the best!! She went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable while I was out of the country to keep my mind at ease. She even allowed me to come do a meet & greet prior to my trip to make sure Cooper knew them and was comfortable! He was allowed to sleep in their bed and their couch so I know he felt right at home 😊. I even had a last minute car emergency and Kristin so kindly made it work in her schedule to pick Cooper up and return him at the end of his stay. This was a HUGE help. He is a senior dog who had meds and needed a little extra TLC this stay due to some help stuff going on and she followed all the instructions with ease. I know Cooper will be back to stay with them for the rest of my out of town trips 😊. Thank you!!”
“Jen was so great with my buddy, a miniature golden doodle. I was so comfortable knowing that Jen is a registered Vet Tech with all her knowledge and expertise. She knew the best way to make introductions to the other dogs so they could all play and have fun together in Jen's fenced in back yard. Jen is great at communicating and gave wonderful, timely check ins. I am so happy I found a great place for my dog to have fun when I must be away!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them has been a passion of mine since childhood. Over the years, I’ve had experience with a wide variety of animals, from cats and dogs to fish and hermit crabs. I’m currently a proud pet parent to two cats and a dog of my own!

I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routines, and I’m committed to providing patient, attentive, and loving care to every animal I look after. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! I currently work from home, which gives me flexibility to fit pet care into my schedule. I have availability on weekdays and weekends and will work with you to maintain your pet’s normal routine. I want to make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience caring for a variety of animals through my zoology background and veterinary medicine experience. I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect your pet’s individual needs, and make sure they have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I’m happy to discuss introductions with my own pets beforehand to make sure it’s a good fit.

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.

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.
98% of sitters in Kirkpatrick 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 Kirkpatrick 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 Kirkpatrick.
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 Kirkpatrick. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 Kirkpatrick 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.
