“Nicole took such good care of my boy Sunshine. She went above and beyond to help him spend his first week away from me including helping him with eating and sleeping anxiety. She sent me messages and pics or videos every day to let me know how he was doing. He was clearly having a ton of fun playing with her sweet pups in her lovely and safe back yard and her cozy home. She is a true dog lover and Sunshine came home happy and exhausted! I will definitely contact her again in the future.”
“This was my very first time boarding my 11-year-old Shih Tzu, Biscuit. I originally booked only 2 nights with Kristi but ended up extending for another night because my plans were disrupted by traffic and an accident on the way back from Chicago to Ohio. Kristi is very accommodating, and I can honestly say that her whole family took excellent care of Biscuit. She constantly kept me updated with texts, photos, and videos of Biscuit, which made me feel very at ease. Thank you so much, Kristi! I will definitely contact you again to board Biscuit with you!”
“Always pleasant & my pups genuinely LOVE going to see Daisy🐾❤️🐾 I don't worry about their safety or if they're lonely. Drop off & pick up has always went smoothly. We've been using Daisy for over a year now, with at least 3 different stays, and never any issues. Thanks for giving my Pup's a home away from home❤️ I will continue to be a repeat customer.”
“Great communication and peaceful experience. George was obviously cared for with premium attention. Kris is very sweet and easy to talk to! We've booked our pup to go back again and again bc he made great friends with Baloo!”
“Kristol was very sweet and accommodating! Had a great backyard for Kobe to run around in and an equally energetic pint sized friend for him to play with! I received photos and updates regularly. Thank you so much for caring for my little guy over the weekend!”
“Tina, the dog whisperer! The first time I met Tina at our meet and greet, I could tell how experienced, knowledgeable, and compassionate she is. She took extra care to get all information to make sure Eido would feel un-afraid and as comfortable as possible in a new environment. Eido had the absolute best time with Tina and her 2 pups. He was loved and cared for as one of her own. I appreciated the picture of Eido with an update that he was settled in and having a good time. It really eased the mind of an over-protective Mom. When I came to pick him up the next day, he wasn't ready to come home because he was still running and playing. I very highly recommend Tina! It is like a home away from home. Very happy to have found her!”
“Very happy with Summer's stay. Claudia provided updates and lots of pictures. I could tell Summer had plenty of attention, cuddles, and play time. Summer's bag was packed and ready when we arrived to a happy dog.”
“Cindy was great with my pup Sage! She consistently sent me updates to let me know how Sage was doing, as well as lots of pics. I felt at ease while away knowing that Sage was in good hands. I will definitely use Cindy in the future and highly recommend her for boarding services!”
“Ashle was wonderful from start to finish! She kept us updated and sent pictures of our dog playing with the other dogs. Would definitely recommend her and thank her for taking such great care of our pup!!”
“Angela was so kind and cared for Buddy like he was her own pup. She was communicative and accommodating, pivoting from our original plans when I needed Bud to stay longer than planed. I can tell Bud was happy and comfortable with her.”
“Bethany was awesome! Such great communication and very sweet to our Duke, taking care of him for 10 days! The pictures said it all, he looked so happy! Thanks again 😊”
“Jasmine was great! She was super easy to communicate with, and made it super easy to coordinate drop off and pick up times. She took great care of Gus and kept us updated throughout the stay. It really was nice knowing she had kids to play with the dogs and give him lots of hugs. I highly recommend Jasmine and will use her again!”
“Nathan had a blast! Because normally he gets scared going with strangers but the second day he didn’t even bother to look back. They are amazing with Nathan and great with communicating about him as well.”
“My pup had a wonderful time with Lindsey and her dogd. He csme home less excitesble due to the smount of plsy time he received. He csme back more trainable because of the more cslm demeaner, and he plays better with other dogs now. Lindsey is s great choice for dog-sitter or, dog-boarder.”
“I cannot say enough nice things about Brittany and her family. She's wonderful about sending photos and videos of Benny, she's flexible, and she's great to communicate with! Best of all, I know Benny is getting great care! (And if he could talk, I know he would say that he agrees--he loves his time with Brittany and her family.)”
“I felt comfortable with Cameo right away and knew my pup was in good hands. I received updates and good reports on how things were going for the week. I would definitely use Cameo again in the future!”
“My dog Bella has been cared for by Andrew twice now, and both times she’s been absolutely happy and well taken care of. The second time we went my dog got excited as we pulled up to the house, remembering what a good time she had during her last visit. Highly recommended!”
“Tom was amazing! I can say enough great things about my dogs stay. It was a quick weekend trip, but we got lots of updates and pictures of my dog. When I went to pick my dog up, he didn’t want to leave!”
“My dog had a fantastic time with Hasber. He sent lots of pictures and updates. He was also very flexible when I asked to extend the stay on short notice. She came home tired, which is not easy for an aussie!”

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 Mutual 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 Mutual.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Mutual 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.
