About: Aloha! I want to help you and your family member (dog/pets) feel less stressed about being away from each other! I noticed that every time I used a kennel service for our fur baby, our dog would get so scared, sick, stress shed, nervous/anxiety, she would not eat, different times she caught kennel cough (which meant more vet bills), and our dog was definitely unhappy with the small kennel space surrounded by other upset loud barking pups/dogs/animals! I believe I can help your dog/pet feel loved, safe, comfortable, fed, clean, exercised, washed (optional), fun/waggy tails, like our family when you are away. My name is Michelle. I love animals! We have a small dog, bunny and fish! I used to volunteer at SPCA and Paw-sitive (Non profit, walk, groom, and feed stray dogs until they got adopted). I have housesit/housesat and dogsit/catsit/ bird and turtles-sat for friends and was suggested to extend my love on ROVER! (Side note: My husband goes to work during the day.I recently changed our schedule to homeschooling my 3 yr old. My 2 kids are used to me caring, playing, and walking other dogs. They loves animals as well. We all have experience caring for animals, see pictures). I have went out of the way to teach , show and guide my children to be gentle, slow approaching/no sudden movements, no chasing, be responsible, ask before petting, and to be aware around animals. I want to help other families feel comfortable and confident to leave their pet with me. We have our Covid shots and boosters. I am home everyday (except 3-4hours out of the house now and then for groceries , gym, or friends farm, or kids play dates). I keep my distance from crowds, we sanitize, and wash our hands frequently. I clean the house and wipe everything all the time. We got a new Hoover carpet wash, and our dog is up to date with shots! Your pet is safe and will be treated like royalty, pampered, loved like our pup/family! I will text or email you pictures and FaceTime your dog/pet too, if you like. Your dog/cat/pet is unique and special to you so I will do my best to help. I have owned dogs most my life (had my first pup with the responsibilities at 6 years old, and owned/fostered animals on and off for about 34 years) …cared for puppies, adults and senior dogs such as pit bulls, Pekingese, Shih Tzu , mini pincher Dobermans ,then fostered a German Shepard, a black pup Labradors, also taken cared of a Golden Retrievers, a Pitbull, poodles, bulldogs, Soft- wheat Terriers, birds, hamsters, turtles, a class pet guinea pig, and cared for friends cats too (see photos). (Yes, I have a small dog but our house is big enough to have another dog/cat/pet around . I can gate, and keep my dog separate if need) Your pet will be taken out for a run or walk at least 4x a day (usually 4-9 times with pictures)! Schedule: I take your/our dog out first thing in the morning, break, lunch, then around 3-4pm, around/after dinner time, and right before bedtime too ( update you with photos)! I will spend time with your dog/cat/pet. I will sit with, read to, massage, clean, comb, feed and pet (constantly check on, if they don’t want to be disturbed)! Even while I read to my kids, homeschool or while we watch tv at night. And my dog will be gated, separated, away from your dog/pet when we are out and when requested. I left my 911 emergency call taking position to be a stay at home mother. I would love to care for, walk, play, cuddle with your dog and take your dog to the park with us too ! *** ONLY DOGS UNDER 35lbs at this time. Thank you*** I have a lot of room, space, toys, pillows, blankets for your pup/dog/cat/pet (separated away from our dog), open concept spacious house, and animal-friendly neighborhood. I live in a cul-de-sac with extremely caring sweet neighbors that know me/us. Several families around us have animals of their own and I know most dogs have been trained or gone thru training as well as ours. I will text or email you pictures and FaceTime your dog/pet too if you like. Your dog/pet is unique and special to you so I will do my best to help. I will keep your dog/pet on a leash every time we go outside, so they don't go missing or let other dogs bother them ***Off leash free to run roam inside the house ***! Our dog is up to date with all shots, vet visits, and takes medication for tick/flee, heart worms. We give our dog a shower once every other week and when she gets muddy. I can help clean your dog/pet too, let us know!

About: We've had dogs our whole lives and love the joy they bring us. We've been pet sitting on and off for the last 3 years and would love the chance to take care of your family member! Jathan works from home every day and Dani's office is dog-friendly and we have some flexibility between the two of us to both do work from home days. If your pup absolutely has to have someone there at all times or has medication needs, we can also rearrange schedules to have both of us work from home, or bring them along to the office! We have a patio dog door, allowing dogs to spend time inside if they wish or to let themselves outside to sunbathe, chase squirrels or burn off any energy if home alone. Our home has a large, fully fenced backyard that everyone always has access to. In the summer we try to spend a lot of time back there relaxing, chasing bubbles and throwing the ball. We do have a hairless cat who typically stays in my sister's bedroom under the blankets. We make sure she has her safe space by not allowing even our dogs free access to her room and when we have new doggie friends, we typically put up an extra gate in the hall just to make sure everyone has their space.

About: I’m a dog owner and lover who treats every pet like part of the family. Our home is a peaceful, lakefront retreat where dogs get plenty of attention, affection, and a calm environment to feel safe and loved while you’re away. Each dog will have their own private space and we have a puppy community areas indoors for the winter. Our backyard is not currently fenced but will be fully fenced in with a 6ft fence by March. We have 2 lovely dogs ourselves, a male mini Aussie and female puppy golden retriever. I’ve grown up around pets and have hands-on experience caring for dogs, understanding their needs, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. Together, we provide a structured, nurturing environment with lots of supervision, play, and one-on-one attention. Your pup won’t just be boarded—they’ll be on vacation. From cozy private spaces to outdoor time and daily updates, we make sure every dog truly lives the good life while staying at our lakefront home. We can’t wait to welcome your pet into our home! Your dog will never be left alone or unattended in our home. My wife, our in-house assistant, and I work together to ensure dogs are seamlessly cared for throughout the day in a calm, structured environment. My wife is home full-time and is the primary caregiver during the day. She handles feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, rest periods, and one-on-one attention. Her background in childcare as a nanny translates perfectly into maintaining routines, monitoring behavior, and providing patient, attentive care. Our in-house assistant is also home full-time and supports daily care by assisting with supervised play, cleaning and sanitizing spaces, meal prep, and individual check-ins. This allows us to keep our dog-to-human ratio low and give each pup personalized attention. I’m actively involved as well, helping with morning and evening routines, enrichment activities, and overall supervision. With multiple adults present at all times, dogs are rotated through play, rest, and care schedules so no pup is ever overwhelmed or overlooked. Because we are always home, dogs receive frequent potty breaks, consistent supervision, and plenty of affection—just like they would with their own family. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are our top priorities. We’ve intentionally created a calm, structured environment where dogs are closely supervised and cared for at all times. Our home is never unattended—my wife, our in-house assistant, and I are always present, ensuring constant supervision throughout the day and night. Dogs are cared for in a controlled setting with private, comfortable spaces to rest and decompress, helping reduce stress and overstimulation. We maintain strict cleanliness and safety standards, including regular sanitizing of all dog areas, food and water bowls, and shared spaces. We follow each dog’s individual care instructions carefully, from feeding schedules to potty routines and any special needs. We are selective about the dogs we accept to ensure a safe, positive environment for everyone. This allows us to maintain a low dog-to-human ratio, closely monitor behavior, and give each pup the attention they deserve. For added peace of mind, we provide regular photo and video updates so you can see your dog happy, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. Our goal is to create a trusted home-away-from-home where you can travel confidently knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in great hands.

About: What sets us apart is the genuine care and experience we bring to every dog we welcome into our home. My husband and I both grew up with dogs, and before having our daughter, we fostered dogs, which gave us experience with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and needs. We currently have a friendly 2-year-old lab mix, so we’re very familiar with maintaining routines, exercise needs, and positive reinforcement. One of our biggest strengths is working with anxious or shy dogs—we’re patient, attentive, and take the time to build trust at each dog’s pace so they feel safe and comfortable. We treat every dog like part of our family and strive to create a calm, loving environment where they can relax and be themselves. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work from home Monday–Friday. Your dog will have consistent companionship throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long periods. During the day, dogs are free to relax, play, and interact with our friendly 2-year-old lab mix. We also incorporate daily walks and outdoor playtime (weather permitting), along with plenty of attention, affection, and structured routine. Because I’m home, I’m able to closely monitor each dog’s needs and adjust care to ensure they feel comfortable, engaged, and right at home. Then when my husband and daughter are not in work or school they will help care for your dogs and play with them. In our home, we strive to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every dog in our care. We have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play, explore, and get plenty of exercise in a secure space. Inside, dogs are treated like part of the family—free to relax, play, and enjoy a calm, structured routine. We can accommodate crate training if your dog is used to it or needs a safe space while we’re briefly away from home. We pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s extra playtime, a quieter environment, or a consistent routine, so they feel secure and at home during their stay.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years and have always loved getting to know their unique personalities and routines. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy giving pets the attention, comfort, exercise, and companionship they need. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As a work-from-home mom, pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to be available for visits, walks, feedings, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I love having pets as part of my routine and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their families are away. I care for every pet with patience, love, and attention to their individual routine. In my home, pets have access to an unfenced yard for supervised outdoor time and plenty of room to relax. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and keep their pet comfortable in their familiar environment.

About: We have watched many pets over the years and are finally bringing our love to the masses. :) We truly love all animals (every where we have lived animals indoor/outdoor just flock to us it seems ha). We give them the care they deserve and treat every last one as if it were our own personal pet. We have also had several pets through the years that needed medical attention daily (generally giving medication) and understand the importance of maintaining medicine/medical care in a very timely manner. If you are looking for the best care for your pet, look no further this family of pet lovers is where its at. We took a little time off to focus on some other things but we are back at it and ready to love and care for your pet better than anyone on this app 😀♥️ (we might be biased). I work from home full time so I am here almost 24 hrs/day to care for your lovely pet. On the weekends we come and go for short periods of time but generally we are home 80% of the weekend at least. We welcome long and short term pet stays, we just love pets. I have kids who "LOVE" to entertain/give attention to pets and try to teach them new tricks. I have several nearby dog parks, and 1 dog of my own. I have a Black Lab/Great Dane mix about 5 yrs old. He loves having other pets around after he get his sniffs in :)

About: Hello, my name is LēRae and I have one dog. Her name is Josie and she is husky shepherd. I grew up with dogs and have always had a furry roommate/coworker at every stage of my life. My family had rescued three pitbulls while I was growing up, so I am familiar with the process of taking in a dog and allowing them to become comfortable with you on their terms- especially in a home they are not familiar with. Since my own dog is a husky, I am most familiar with high-energy dogs. I work from home and we go on walks at least three times daily. While I don’t have a yard, the Miami Bike Trail is right outside my door so theres plenty of opportunities for walks . I use Rover both as a sitter and as a client so I understand the circumstances of ensuring your pup is in quality care. As a client, I prefer pic/video updates at least three times a day and will ensure you receive the same standard. Since I work from home, your pup will always have someone around. Unless there is an event or a quick errand run out— you will always be updated. I live in a one bedroom apartment with dog neighbors on both sides of me so noise is not an issue. My dog is a husky and can be verbal at times and will likely try to talk to your pup.

About: I’ve been lucky enough to be trusted with baby sitting, house sitting, and pet sitting for the past 10+ years. I pride myself on building honest and positive relationships that last and would be honored to be trusted with your home and/or animals! With a rescue pup of my own, I can promise to provide the same unconditional love and commitment to your sweeties, as I do my own. I am an educator who works part time over the summers! I also only live about 6 minutes from my part time job which gives me the opportunity to have an extremely open and flexible schedule! I am extremely observant and pay attention to detail. As an educator, it is my job to be able to multitask while also fostering emotional and comfort needs. I make sure to do everything to the fullest including following your needs and anticipating what your loved one may want/need next!

“Aparajita was absolutely wonderful! This was a last-minute booking, and she was incredibly responsive, kind, and accommodating. She was so sweet with Dexter and clearly made him feel loved and comfortable right away. She kept us updated with so many fun photos and videos of Dexter playing and having a great time with her two bigger dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear he was having an amazing time and was being cared for like one of her own. We are so grateful for her excellent communication, flexibility, and loving care. We highly recommend Aparajita to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”

About: I started doing this because I found it hard to find somewhere safe and loving for our dog to stay when we went out of town, and want to help other people! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands‑on pet‑sitting experience for family and friends, and a full, happy home of my own with two cats and one dog. I’ve cared for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs, and even spent six years raising a chameleon — so I’m no stranger to unique routines or special care. Whether it’s keeping your pets active, cozy, or simply feeling loved while you’re away, I bring patience, reliability, and genuine affection to every visit. Your animals will be treated like part of my family. Our dog Yeti is very gentle and loves other dogs. I also can take care of your other pets - fish, birds, and reptiles! I’m currently a stay at home wife so I have plenty of time and attention to give to your fur baby. Yeti and I go on long daily walks and play fetch in the backyard. I can care for pets at our home or your home. At my home, I would only have one dog at a time. We have a fenced backyard. I would also love to drop into your home, and give your dog a walk or spend time your pet while you are away.

About: Hey there! I'm Hope. I grew up taking care of a herd of 4H show bunnies and pet sitting the various animals around my neighborhood, but dogs are by far my favorite! I worked at a dog kennel for 3 years as a caretaker and eventually manager. I petsat with Rover full time for about 6 months but am now transitioning to a full time job and will only be accepting new dog boarding reservations. I'm married to my high school sweetheart and currently studying psychology at UC. We live in Madisonville with our playful puppies and grumpy senior bunny. Someone is home at all times, our yard in fully fenced in, as well as we have tons of toys, chewies, and puppy shenanigans to keep your dog entertained! We’re available weekends and holidays. I'd be happy to take care of any other pets you have (cats, birds, rodents, fish, etc.) at no additional charge. I have a lot of experience handling and caring for small & exotic animals, as well as certain farm animals. I have experience with special needs dogs, giving very specific care and/or administering medications(oral, topical, insulin). Thank you for your consideration!

About: I have been a dog guardian for 40 years including two Huskies for 10 years. I spent 25 years in San Francisco where my dogs went to the dog park twice a day. I was also a volunteer at the SPCA in California where I helped care for the dogs waiting to be adopted. Your best friend will get one on one and 100 percent attention from me. I only board one dog at a time unless they are from the same household already. I am working out of my condo as a freelance designer and make my own schedule. Because of this I am able to provide full time care for pets. I was a volunteer at the SPCA in San Francisco before moving back home to Ohio. I have a condo in Montgomery surrounded by green grass off the road. There is a great park down the road. I also have the option of boarding special needs dogs at our family home 5 minutes down the road.

About: Hello! Nice to meet you! I am Meaghan and I live in a safe, quiet neighborhood in Blue Ash. I grew up with dogs of various sizes and breeds my entire life. I had two dogs of my own over the last 12 years, both of which were large breeds (German Shepherd and Siberian Husky). I love dogs and enjoy having them around. I work from home all day and can spend lots of quality time with your dog(s). Your pup will get plenty of outdoor play time and potty breaks. I work from home all day so I am able to provide day care and/or overnight boarding during weekdays or over weekends. If I do have to leave for an errand I tend to separate the dogs in bedrooms and/or crates. I have a large fenced yard (over half an acre) with plenty of room for your pup to run and play. I have crates available if it is needed for your dog. I work from home all day so I am able to provide frequent potty breaks outside.

Most bookings cost between $37 and $42 per day. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Mount Repose 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.

Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.

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 Meet & Greet .

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
