“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!”
“From the moment we stepped into Cristi’s home, we could tell our pup felt comfortable and loved. Cristi sent frequent updates and photos through out the stay. She really went out of her way to make sure we knew our dog was getting spoiled and loved on while we were away which is all we could’ve ever wanted! Will definitely be using Cristi everytime we need a dog sitter!!!!”
“Lauren took great care of Zuri! She has a great space for dogs, handled medications/other needs well, was flexible with a last-minute booking, and sent frequent updates and pictures. We will definitely be back in the future!”
“This being my very first time using Rover. Nate & Aylissia were amazing caring for our sweet girl Gia. They communicate in a timely manner. Appreciate them doing a video meet and an in-person meet & greet. Also appreciated the pics/videos they shared of Gia. Seems she became best buds with their dog Jasper. Our fur babies are just like our children. Thank You to you both for opening up your home and giving Gia the same love and care as she receives at home. Look forward to using you all again in the future. Blessings!!”
“We love Anjanette! She is our go-to sitter for whenever we are away. Milo is always excited to be with Anjanette and we know he will be treated as her family dog with love and care”
About: Hi I’m Zoë! I love all animals, big and small and have been around them my whole life. >I have owned many different types of animals: dogs, cats, fish, a ferret, guinea pigs, a hedgehog, ect... >I have experience with a spectrum of ages, sizes, and breeds of dogs. I am good with puppies in training, as well as senior dogs who need accommodations. >Right now I have a dog (Bailey, 3), a farm cat, a fish, and also a flock of ducks. >I also offer yard clean up services and homemade dogfood! >I have been working for Rover since 2023 after I graduated from OSU >I moved to Fairfield County in 2024 I currently work part time at a greenhouse and run my own business. Most of my days are very flexible and I am open to new short and long term clients! On Visits: I’m down stop in and visit your dog, or take them out on a walk in the yard or neighborhood. Feeding, playing, walking, trick training, giving medicine, and having hang time are all in my comfort zone. I can follow specific directions and trust my gut instincts. I love all dogs, big and small. They all have different personalities and I like to take my time to learn a dog and their preferences and tendencies. I always bring a treat with me on meet and greets if allowed, and I understand dog behavior enough to interpret their mood. For Dog Boarding: At my house, we have baby gates to separate the floors of the house, the cat stays upstairs most of the time. I like to have dogs meet on leashes or through a gate, I never leave unfamiliar dogs alone together, and my house is very dog friendly, with hardwood and linoleum and not much floor clutter. Outside, my dog is off leash trained (I know I am spoiled), but all other dogs I keep on a leash if we are outside or on an 100ft rope when we take walks through the field.
“Highly recommend Tamisha for boarding services! She sent multiple updates with pictures and I could tell my puppy Wilson was happy and worn out when I got him. Will definitely be booking with her again”
“Yet again, Dawn has been just wonderful with our blind, senior dog. We’ve never had any issues over the several times we’ve booked Dawn, and will always recommend her! See you soon, Dawn!”
“Michelle and Justin were great with communicating with us while we were gone! I got daily pictures and updates knowing my dogs were good and having a fun time. They were also super accommodating with everything. I would book with them again in the future.”
“Pam and Tallaferro did an amazing job with Shade. I received daily updates and pictures which let me know she was safe. I’d recommend them to any dog owner who’s looking for a safe and fun home for a few days while away for work or a vacation.”
“Oreo had a great stay with Jana and her family. They took such good care of my elderly dog and made sure he had activity time and gave him all his meds and gave him care and attention. He got along with their dog, which isn't always easy for my Oreo. I was sent many pictures each evening so I could see how my buddy was enjoying his stay. I highly recommend Jana and Hannah (hope I got that right). I will definitely rebook with them.”
“Emily was great! I really appreciated the photos I got of my dog which she was in her care. Emily was very flexible with drop off and pickup which was very appreciated. I’m sure my dog will be back!”
“Paige took great care of my Penny. She sent pictures and videos daily and gave me updates. I felt like Penny was getting great care and I will definitely re-book again.”
“Sasha is AWESOME! We were very nervous to leave our 7 month puppy for the first time.. he felt right at home.. went to softball games, lots of walks and practiced puppy agility. When I picked him up he was looking back at her. I HIGHLY recommend Sasha amd will only ask her the next time we go out of town. If she’s not available I will get an Air BnB.”
“We left our puppy with Angela while we took a trip & despite being a little worried about leaving him at first, she definetly squashed those worries. We recieved daily photos, & when I did message, she responded quickly. Our pup always looked happy & healthy, as well as Angela giving him a bath for us so he was also very clean!”
About: As a former veterinary technician, I bring professional experience, genuine compassion, and a deep understanding of animal care to every pet I look after. I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, comfortable, and truly cared for while you’re away. I offer personalized dog boarding, sitting, and basic training tailored to each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your pup is energetic and playful, prefers a quiet environment, needs extra patience, or simply loves some extra attention, I strive to make their time in my care feel like a home away from home. 🐾 With my veterinary background, I’m also comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or signs that something may not be quite right, giving pet parents an added level of reassurance. My goal is more than simply watching your dog — it’s providing them with loving, attentive care while maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. I have many long term established clients that would love to reach out to you if you wish! I currently provide full-time dog boarding and training from my home, where caring for animals is what I love and do every day. My mornings start with my furry guests, and my days are centered around making sure each dog feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for. 🐾 Every dog has their own unique personality, routine, energy level, and individual needs. I plan my days around each guest so I can provide personalized attention and care while also respecting the specific routines and preferences of my clients. While staying with me, every dog receives plenty of outdoor activity, exercise, playtime, and socialization, with opportunities to interact with myself and other dogs staying in my care. I also have a strong veterinary background from my previous experience as a veterinary technician, giving me additional knowledge and confidence when caring for dogs who require medications, special routines, or extra attention. Dogs with special medical or individual needs are always welcome, and I’m happy to work closely with their owners to make sure those needs are properly accommodated. My goal is to give every dog a comfortable, enriching home-away-from-home experience while giving their owners peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced and caring hands. ❤️🐶 When your dog is in my care, **their safety and well-being are always my top priority.** Dogs staying in my home are supervised throughout the day, both indoors and outdoors, and I strive to provide an environment where they can feel comfortable, secure, and included. I have a spacious, beautiful backyard where the dogs can enjoy plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and play. Inside the home, I provide safe, appropriate toys and activities based on the individual dogs and the dynamics of the group staying with me at the time. I’m mindful of each dog’s personality, play style, size, and needs when deciding what activities and toys are appropriate. On the rare occasion that a dog needs to be left unattended for a short period of time, I offer **large, secure crates** for owners who prefer their dogs to be crated. If an owner prefers that their dog not be crated, I have a designated, dog-safe area of my home where they can relax comfortably and safely while I’m briefly away. In many cases, dogs are even able to **join me when I leave the house**, depending on the owner’s preferences and what is appropriate for their dog\. My own dog is with me nearly everywhere I go, so I’m happy to include boarding guests whenever possible\. Every stay is personalized to the owner’s wishes and their dog’s individual needs\. My goal is to make sure your dog feels like part of the family while you’re away — with plenty of attention, activity, supervision, and, of course, lots of love. 🐾❤️
“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!”

Laura was fun to work with. She is knowledgeable about dog behavior and interactions, especially with those first time boarding. I felt confident that my dog felt comfortable in a new environment. Having a dog and family gave him plenty of playmates. She sent lots of pictures and updates. Definitely will use her again.
Laura was an amazing sitter! She (and her family) took excellent care of our two pups while we are on vacation for a week. She sent multiple pictures and updates every day. It was reassuring to see from those updates that our dogs were having a great time on their own vacation. I also appreciated how accommodating Laura was when I asked to make a change in the pick up time. I feel very lucky to have found her and would definitely book with her again!
Kara and Paul have taken care of our dog, Biggs on many occasions. We can always enjoy our time away knowing that Biggs is in excellent hands. We receive many photographs of Biggs playing with their dog in their spacious fenced in backyard. We highly recommend Kara and Paul!

The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
95% of sitters in Lithopolis 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 Lithopolis 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 Lithopolis.
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 Lithopolis. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Lithopolis 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.
