“Aparajita accepted a last minute request for boarding and took amazing care of Sugar. She kept us informed about how Sugar was doing daily with photos and videos. It made us feel relieved knowing our pup was in such good hands while away from us. We would definitely rebook and recommend Aparajita!”
“Debbie was awesome! Our dogs are a little anxious but they warmed up to Debbie right away and had an awesome time staying with her! They definitely loved the big fenced in yard. Debbie was very responsive and a great communicator. Our dogs can't wait to go back!”

Natasa and her family showed our pup lots of love and care while we were gone and we are extremely appreciative of that! Our pup lives going on walks and playing in their spacious backyard. Thank you Natasa!”

About: I have had and taken care of animals for over 20 years. I love all animals and have experience with a wide range of animals. Small dogs, big dogs, cats, reptiles, aquatic animals, and rodents. All animals are cute and worthy of attention and love in my eyes! I currently work remote so your furry friends will get basically all of my time. Whatever, whenever, I got them! I stay up late and don’t sleep in late so there will be very little time that they won’t have my full attention. I have a good sized yard, not fenced in but I will always escort your pooch (or kitty) on a leash and let them wander and dilly dally as long as they want. My cat will keep your furry friend company as she loves to cuddle! I can also keep your pet and mine separate if that’s better suited for them, and can crate your animal if you have a routine.
“Scott was amazing with Junior, my 100lb lap dog. Scott absolutely went above and beyond. He was great with sending me photos of my boy enjoying himself. I will definitely request Scott again!”
“The best sitter we have met on Rover. Our Dachshund moped for days after coming back home... She definitely didn't miss us during vacation as much as we missed her! Lots of pictures and videos during the stay provide peace of mind that your dog is receiving the best possible treatment. We feel very fortunate to have found Teah on Rover and we'll rebook without hesitation.”
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.
“Third time I leave my dogs with Nicole and her family while I’m out of town and again awesome experience. My dogs love being with them! They enjoy running in their playground and playing with other doggie friends. I got daily updates and lots of videos and pictures. If I could I would rate her with more than 5 stars. Thanks Nicole & family 😃”
“This was our first time using Rover. I was so happy that we found Taylor to care for our goldendoodle, Rosie. Rosie was well cared for during her stay. Taylor was very responsive and gave us updates. We look forward to having Rosie stay with Taylor again.”
“I boarded my sweet 9mo Cavalier puppy with Tricia for a weekend, and it was obvious she had the best time! Daisie looked so happy in each picture Tricia sent and was the sleepiest I’ve ever seen when I picked her up. She had a blast! It was Daisie’s first boarding so I was nervous how she would do, but it all went great. And I appreciated how accommodating Tricia was to my somewhat last minute booking and changing meet/pickup times. It gave me such peace of mind on my trip to know Daisie was being so well cared for. Will be booking again!”

Natasa was amazing. She gave me regular updates and always responded to my questions. Most of all, she was patient, kind, and loving with my senior fur baby. She administered medications, including eye drops and followed our normal feeding schedule. Her care of my dog was excellent!

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.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Murdock 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 Murdock.
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.
You and your Murdock 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.
