“Andrew did a great job with our 12 year old dog and even helped her get up and down from the couch. He kept me updated and sent pictures and was willing to do whatever was needed.”
“So delighted with the love and care from Ariel who took in our cavapoo for a few day and nights. He had never been away from us before but I know that he had an excellent boarding experience and got to play all the time with his new four legged friends.”
About: “What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with animals from a young age. I’ve raised and trained my own dogs, rescued animals in need, and provided attentive care, ensuring each pet feels safe, happy, and loved.” Although I currently work from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., I can adjust my schedule to care for pets before or after work. I’m transitioning into full-time pet care and am dedicated to providing attention, exercise, and love to every animal in my care. I care for pets by following their daily routines, giving love, attention, play, and exercise, while ensuring a safe, clean, and comfortable environment wherever they are.
“Kathy was a sensational sitter for our toy poodle Lily! She went above and beyond to care for her and make sure she was safe and comfortable. We arranged for her next stay on pick up! The pictures and updates kept us entertained while we were away and we knew she was happy without us.”
“I was pleased the service by Leeshand. She's a very nice and caring person and she sent me updates and pictures. I would definitely let her sit my dog Archie again. She played with him and took him on walks. He's a 1 year old boxer. Thank you Leeshand.”
“LeAndra was very communicative throughout the trip and took the time to share pictures and updates that put our mind at ease. She walked Hermione and made sure she felt loved even through the 4th of July fireworks. Would absolutely book again.”
“Mike was nice, sent updates and photos and was very accommodating with my senior dog. Made our family event less stressful knowing Finn was being so well cared for.”
“Keri watched our cat Cinder while we were on a 3 week vacation. We loved how comfortable Cinder felt with Keri & Cody (as seen in the regular photos Keri sent), and we're so happy we have the peace of mind that she's well cared for when we're out of town.”
“Ashya has a lovely home and a nice tieout out back. She sent pictures which we appreciated. She is friendly and enthusiastic and our dog had a great time. We will definitely use her again if we go out of town.”
About: Hi! I’m Corey, a lifelong animal lover, dog dad, and the kind of person who genuinely enjoys getting to know an animal’s unique personality. My two dogs, Asher and Gracie, are part of the family, so I understand that trusting someone with your pet means trusting them with someone you love. I know every dog is different. Some want to play all day, some want to sniff every corner of the yard, and others are happiest curled up beside you getting belly rubs. I love getting to know those little quirks and making sure each dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own way. I care for my own pets every day and regularly help friends and family with theirs. Whether your pup needs playtime, walks, companionship, a consistent routine, or just a little extra affection while you’re away, I’ll do my best to make their time with me feel like a second home. Your dog isn’t just another booking to me. They’re a member of your family, and I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want someone to give Asher and Gracie. I also know how reassuring it is to get an update while you’re away, so I’ll keep you in the loop and let you know how your pup is doing. My goal is simple: for you to feel confident leaving your dog in my care, and for your dog to have a happy, comfortable experience while you’re apart. ❤️ Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I make it a priority to give every dog in my care the time and attention they deserve. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate your pet’s needs, whether that means keeping up with their usual feeding times, fitting in walks and playtime, or simply providing companionship throughout the day. I want you to feel confident that your pup isn’t just being watched, but genuinely cared for. My home is a place where dogs can feel comfortable, included, and loved. With a fenced-in yard for outdoor play and a welcoming indoor space for relaxing, your pup can enjoy a balance of activity and downtime. I believe dogs deserve to be treated like family, not guests who have to stay out of the way. I also understand that every dog has different needs and comfort levels. Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, I’ll respect their routine, pay attention to their individual needs, and work to make the experience as stress-free as possible. Their safety and well-being always come first, and I’ll keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away with greater peace of mind.
“Anna took such great care of my dogs. They’re both anxious but she made them feel comfortable. She sent me pictures and updates daily without me asking for them and I really appreciated that. I drove 30 min knowing they would be in good hands. I would def recommend Anna! Thanks so much! 🙏🏻”
About: I’ve always loved animals and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I’m patient, reliable, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. I pay close attention to instructions, communicate regularly with updates and photos, and make sure every pet receives the care and attention they deserve. I work entirely from home, which gives me a highly flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. I can easily accommodate potty breaks, mid-day walks, and constant companionship throughout the week. My weekends are completely open for extended playtime, boarding, or overnight house sitting. When watching pets in your home, safety and respect for your space are my top priorities. I stick strictly to your established routines, double-check that all doors and gates are secure before and after walks, and keep in constant contact with daily photo updates to give you complete peace of mind. My home is a cozy, pet-friendly space where your dog's safety is my number one priority. While I do not have a fenced yard, I always keep dogs securely leashed during all outdoor bathroom breaks and walks. I strictly follow your feeding routines and provide constant supervision to keep them safe and happy.
“Icy has a lot of anxiety when he needs to be boarded. Wendy did a great job caring for his needs. She has a beautiful home with everything required to keep a dog happy, healthy, safe and comfortable. Thank you Wendy!!”
About: My name is Ivette and I currently study at Case. My husband is a USPS mail carrier and I work from home. Currently, I have one dog and two rescue cats🐾. During the pandemic, I spent a significant amount of time with my pets indoors where I had the opportunity to take care of two litters that my dogs had. I learned many skills during that time. With age, my dog became a senior dog and had to take oral medication so I am used to giving oral/topical medication to pets. I have been living in the Cleveland area since 2019 but I am originally from Texas. My current home has a fenced back yard and a good route for walks. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.
“Shannon took really good care of my service dog Ruby while I was away. She was giving me updates everyday and sending me photos of Ruby. Shannon is my go to whenever I need a dog sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Sandra was the most loving and considerate dog boarder we know. Our dog (border collie-husky mix) stayed with her over the Christmas holidays and had a blast. She sent us a picture very day, reassured us that he was doing well, and he looked happy and content when we picked him up. We will definitely go back for future stays. Thank you again Sandra. Balto loves you!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mentor
Maria is truly wonderful, and I highly, highly recommend booking with her! She went above and beyond to take amazing care of our dogs. At first, we were nervous about the idea of leaving them for the first time ever, but we were able to enjoy our vacation because we knew our girls were in really good hands. From our meet and greet to daily updates and photos, to Maria’s attention to detail and professionalism, we had the best experience ever working with her. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our babies!
I was very impressed and loved the way Andrew care for our dog. He does a great job and gives you daily updates and pictures. He is also a very caring individual, our dog was hurt 2 days before we left and was limping along. He took great care of Bentley. I feel extremely comfortable with Andrew taking care of Bentley. I will be using him again. You should also.

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. 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 Mentor 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 Mentor 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 Mentor.
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 Mentor. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 Mentor 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.
