“Ivy, our 10 month old Great Dane, loved her weekend stay while we had our wedding. She was so exhausted when she got home from her weekend with Cristi! We appreciate you handling our overgrown puppy and for sending me updates during the weekend on how she was doing.”
“Scott and Katrina were wonderful! They communicated with us throughout Kona’s stay and sent lots of photos and videos, which we really appreciated. Kona loved playing with their dogs and having their beautiful backyard to run around in. Scott and Katrina were both so sweet with her, and it was obvious that Kona felt happy and comfortable with them. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!”
“Ashleigh was exceptionally caring and looked after Teddy like he was one of her own! Very good communication and I will definitely be sending my friends and family her way.”
“The dogs seemed to have a great time, they were exhausted when they got home from all the running around and playing they did. We will definitely use them for future stays.”
About: My property has 1-acre of fenced space where your pup can run around until their heart’s content. If you have a senior pup, a young puppy, or a dog with complex medical needs, you have found the right home. Having loved and cared for my own Akitas through major health challenges—including blindness—I am completely comfortable managing complex medication schedules, topical treatments, oral meds, and injections. As an experienced dog and puppy foster (who even once fostered a litter of nine puppies!), I understand canine body language and know how to support anxious or transitioning pets. Rest assured, your pup will be cared for and welcomed with open arms no matter their situation. Pet care is my full-time job right now. I am generally away from the home for no more than a couple of hours, and if I do need to be away for longer, I will ensure you are aware in advance. I have a fenced backyard and three dogs of my own who will keep your pup company. My own dogs are a senior male, fully blind American Akita, an adult female pug mix, and a male puppy pug mix (the adult female’s puppy). I ensure all dogs are kept separate during mealtime and, as needed, during playtime where dog toys may be involved. I have crates and playpens, extra dog dishes, and plenty of indoor and outdoor toys for your pup to use as much or as little as they want. My own dogs love to cuddle and sleep on the couch and bed, and your pup is welcome to as well, as long as it’s okay with you. I’m happy to provide updates throughout your pup’s stay based on a frequency you’d prefer to ensure you feel comfortable with their time in my care.
“Kimberly and her family were so good to our little Molly that I was worried she wouldn’t want to come home. It was a true blessing finding Kimberly on Rover. I hope she has room for her the next time I need a dog border. Thank you so very much Kimberly.”
“Gabby was amazing when it came to taking care of our puppy Punky. They treated her like their own and just raced about how good she was. I will definitely use Gabby again in the future when we go on extended stays!!”
“Tamisha did a great job taking care of my pups! One of mine is very tall and strong, yet she wasn't intimidated and still included him on all her walks. She did a great job keeping me updated on how they were doing.”
“Laura is fantastic. Maddie loves her and her family, and I love the check-in pictures. I trust Laura to take care of Maddie anytime. She helps her feel at ease and at home.”

“We’ve never boarded or left our dog overnight, so we wanted to make sure she’d have lots of attention and wouldn’t have to be crated for hours or overnight. I felt really comfortable leaving our dog with Tina. We did a meet and greet to make sure it was a good fit. Tina sent pictures regularly during our stay and stayed in communication. She was happy and worn out from playing with other guest pups when we picked her up. You can tell that she and her husband really care about the dogs. They will always be our first choice for boarding now.”
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of neighbor, friends, and family’s pets since I was a teenager. I have a 3 and 9 year old who love animals just as much as I do. I am not currently working, so I have an endless amount of time to spend with your pets and give them all the attention they deserve! I have two friendly pups to keep your pets company. I have a 3 and 9 year old who are gentle and love animals! We live in a low traffic area which is great for long safe walks!
“Kyla was very professional and accommodating. Kept me informed through the duration of the stay and even sent pictures of my Bella. Kyla was very easy to talk to and responded promptly to any questions I had. It was obvious she took God care of Bella and Ai appreciated that, I belive Bella had a good ol time and I'd definitely be a returning customer. Thanks Kyla!”
“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!”
“Jeffry and Jessica were great sitters of nala! Very responsive and provided great updates on nala which I appreciated. She seemed to warm up to them easily and would def use again!”
“Winnie had a blast during her stay. She was spoiled with lots of attention and playtime. I received daily pictures and videos of her interactions with their dogs and it was great to see Winnie sitting right in and having a great time. With her being so young and her first time being away from me it was such a relief to have her taken care of so well. I know she’s excited for her next visit. Thank you!!!!!!”
“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.”

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME SITTER!! I can tell my needy pup was taken care of for the 8 days we were away. I can tell Madison and her sister were playing ball with him because he hasn't missed a throw since we got home. Madison kept my wife and I in the loop our entire vacation with pics of our pup. It definitely helped my kids relax seeing he was safe.
Madison was absolutely great with my dogs. She was super attentive, communicative, and incredibly helpful, especially with my last-minute request. She really went above and beyond, and my dogs absolutely loved her. She made the whole process easy and stress-free. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to watch their pets!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lancaster home-away-from-home, 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 Lancaster.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

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.

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.
