“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog - sitting experience for our little Frenchie, Caillou! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he was in loving, attentive hands. We received thoughtful updates and photos; we could tell he was happy, comfortable, and truly cared for all weekend. Caillou came home relaxed, well cared for, and clearly adored - always the best sign. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was treated like part of the family, not just watched, but genuinely loved. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care and would absolutely trust them again without hesitation. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Very enthusiastic about meeting our dog. Showed us the backyard and inside of the house. Sent several pictures and a few pictures. Yoshi was very happy looking and definitely enjoyed his stay. Will use again!”
“Andrew provided excellent care for our precious dogs. He kept them exercised, hydrated and rested. He sent pics and updates and made us feel so relaxed about our decision. Will definitely have Andrew watch our pups again!”
“Loved working with Brandon! I was a little nervous leaving my dog for the first time but Brandon let me tour the back yard, I felt like everything was secure and safe. Very responsive and I could tell my pup had a great day. She usually cries when I pick her up from grooming/vet/etc but she was super laid back today!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since i had my first dog in the first grade. A white Samoyed. When she was 3 she has 7 puppies! I was obsessed with them. We sold 6 and kept one. So we had 2 big white Samoyed’s that I had the responsibility of raising and attending to. They were my whole world. I’m always the first to be asked to watch someone’s dog because if there’s one thing I’m passionate about, it’s loving on dogs. I now have a mini dachshund who i love so much. I have experience with puppies, big dogs, little dogs, and senior dogs. I’m able to train puppies and care for senior dogs who would need more help in their day to day activities such as meds, frequent potty breaks, and patience. I also had an internship with the lake humane society in high school and have a special place in my heart for rescue dogs/cats who could use some extra love. I am currently a stay at home mom with my 8 year old who is in school and 1 year old who both love dogs I figured i could help out some dog momma or daddies who aren’t able to be home with them all day. I am able to let your dog out every couple hours. And even take them for brief walks. We have plenty of dog toys to share, bully sticks (while supervised), treats, and extra dog bowls if needed. My husband is a realtor so is home most of the time if i am not. I crate our dog at home when we leave. I also have a camera just in case to make sure she’s okay while we’re gone. We moved so we don’t have a fenced in yard anymore. But had leads if they want to stay outside for a longer period of time. I also live next to my parents who have a fenced in yard where i could take them if you feel more comfortable with that.
About: I have been dog sitting for 10+ years, all shapes, ages & sizes. I helped train/walk my neighbors therapy dog while I was in high school and I was Involved in a club at The Ohio State University called Guiding Eyes for the Blind. I trained, walked and sat dogs of ages 2 months and up that then get assigned to someone in need of help. I have also worked at a vet hospital assisting/watching the doctor during procedures, check-ups and client visits. I love working with dogs/cats and always learning new training techniques. I love watching them grow and learn to become wonderful, well behaved dogs/cats. I love playing and being active with dogs and/or cats and giving them as much attention as they need/want. Your mind will be free of worry while you're away. Your cute furry family member will have the best care and the most attention you could possibly hope for. I have 2 cats and 3 dogs myself to approve of that! :) I work from home so I have plenty of time throughout the day to attend to your furry babies! Potty breaks, walks during lunch, etc! I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs to keep your pup company! I also have a crate if needed. Can accommodate to any normal routines at home.
About: Animal enthusiast on a mission to provide purr-fect care for your fur babies 🐾🐶✨✨ Passionate about pet sitting with a long history of creating a safe space for all. I've taken care of of fur friends for as long as I can remember and continue to do so through Breezy Pooch Care! I work from home, so i will be around throughout the day and I have the ability to be very attentive and easily provide potty breaks when needed, so my routine does not have to change much to fit your families needs! If I am boarding / house sitting I need to be set up by 8AM and my work day is done by 5pm. Each pet is different and will have different needs. I do my best to adhere to those needs. inside the home pets are free to roam around designated areas, which are kept clean and pet friendly. I never take pets outdoors without their leash as anything could happen, we also have other pets in the area so to avoid any issues i always keep those in my care close by!
About: I offer a premium pet sitting/walking experience because of my hands on experience in many different dog environments. I have trained service dogs through 4 Paws for Ability, worked in a busy dog daycare, volunteered in shelters, and competed in agility. These experiences help me understand behavior, manage different energy levels, and support dogs with unique needs. I am dependable, organized, and attentive to every detail of your dog’s routine. I also make communication a priority and provide frequent updates, photos, and notes so you always feel connected to your dog while you are away. If you choose to trust me with your dog, you can have complete peace of mind knowing they are in capable and caring hands. I work remotely so I am able to offer drop in and dog walking services weekdays before 8:45 AM, during my lunch break most days, and after 4:30 PM. I also have availability most weekends. For select dogs, I may consider overnight or weekday daycare in my own home on a case-by-case basis, dependent on my own dogs getting along with yours and the behavior of your dog(s) - must be house trained and non-destructive. I would only take dog(s) from ONE client in home at a time (in addition to my own two dogs). Please reach out to discuss this further. The safety and health of your pets is my number one priority. From shifting to indoor activities on days when the temperature is dangerously hot to double checking that the harness/collar is fitted properly before going outside, I do everything in my power to keep your dogs happy and healthy. Additionally, positive reinforcement is the foundation of how I train and interact with animals. I use it with my own dogs and with the service dogs I’ve helped train, and I’m happy to continue that approach with your pets. This means no yelling, “punishing”, or other harsh corrective methods will be used.
“100% would recommend S&J! I had an unique circumstance of coming from out of town for a family event and Sheila accepted my 8 month old pup, Reggie, for the day. She provided constant updates and made me feel comfortable leaving him for the day without them every meeting. Thank you so much!”
About: Hi there! My name is Jada. I am 26 years old and i am a graduate from Horizon Science Academy High! All my life i’ve LOVED dogs. I’ve had different dogs growing up. When i was growing up, i found myself spending more time with my dogs than actual people. I would watch movies with them and play with them! They made me feel safe and warm! Dogs are way better than humans in my opinion! I can make conversations with them, make them feel loved, and most importantly, make sure they’re cared for! I believe that everyone needs a companion/bff, even animals! That’s where i come in! Allow me to care and love for your dog as i would for my own! We will for sure make memories! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have tons of time to play with your pups! I always make sure to give all of my attention to the pups! I do not have a secluded yard, however I do have open field areas for your pups to run around in! There are tons of other dogs in my complex that are very loving and friendly!
About: I spent most of my childhood at neighbors’ houses helping walk, play with, and care for their pets. I always knew I wanted one of my own, and when I finally got my dog, people constantly complimented his obedience and sweet, playful personality. I’m a dependable, active, and patient pet sitter who treats every animal like my own. I don’t just stop in and leave, but I make sure pets get exercise, attention, and real care. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your animals with someone, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I typically work from home and live near parks, so I look forward to taking your pet(s) on walks, snuggling, and playing with them. I have a fenced in yard, but I always supervise my pets when they are outside. I keep my pets occupied constantly with frozen Kong toys, frozen lick mats, interactive toys, single ingredient treats, single ingredient bully sticks, etc.

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.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Madison commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. Many sitters can respond to messages in under an hour.
To find the fastest available match, message multiple sitters with a recent "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
