“A loving family who truly appreciate dogs, feels like a second home for my dog now. Tracy kept me updated on my dog's "vacation", at the end of his stay he was happy and relaxed. So great!!”

“Cherokee and Lucy, my two large dogs, have stayed with Wendy multiple times in the past when I lived in SEO. This past trip, my husband and I drove 2 hours out of our way from Detroit to the Smokey Mountains-- just so our dogs could be with Wendy! They hadn't seen Wendy in almost three years and Cherokee scratched at her door to get in! Wendy is so thoughtful, clearly caring of our dogs, and overall a wonderful person to have in your corner. We will continue to book Wendy in the future, as her drop-off and pick-up are seamless, she is obviously quite experienced, is such a joy to see, and sends me the best updates occasionally through the stay-- always making me smile! Thank you a million times over, Wendy!”

“I had a really excellent experience with Cristi and would recommend her services to anyone. I would definitely recommend her and will plan on utilizing her care again in the very near future!”

“Thank you Stephanie for taking great care of Pelusa! We appreciated your quick feedback and daily photos. She looked comfortable and I'm sure had fun with your dogs. We will definitely check your availability first for future needs.”

“Gabby was amazing when it came to taking care of our puppy Punky. They treated her like their own and just raced about how good she was. I will definitely use Gabby again in the future when we go on extended stays!!”

About: I've taken care of pets since I was 10. My neighborhood frequently go to me when they need a dog/cat sitter for a week and I'm used to going over as many times as needed. I'm patient and have had puppies growing up. This job is exciting for me because I genuinely love and care for all animals. I find that they brighten my day and I'm prepared to help my community take care of their pets. I'm about to graduate and have plenty of free time throughout my weekdays and weekends that I'm not out of town for soccer. I'll have lots of flexible times so I'm confident my schedule will work for many. I have a golden doodle named Stanley that loves to play and run around my yard he is a friendly giant that my neighborhood has all come to love. He loves walks and going for car rides.
About: I love animals and to take care of them. I hope to provide your pets with a caring, safe, cuddling place to come. I’ve had animals since I was very little and have always loved them, I plan to be a vet tech when I can. I also have two dogs a chihuahua and an American bulldog that are both neutered. They are both very friendly as well and most of the time the chihuahua minds his own business. (By the way they are both male dogs). My whole family loves animals and would love for your to come stay or visit and even walks would be great. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for dogs to run in and much more. I work part time so I have time to take care of your pups! If I’m not home my boyfriend is, we have two pups that go everywhere with us I have a fenced in yard and I go on daily walks with my two pups that can help keep yours company. I have neighbors that are are very friendly and there dog had puppies!
About: My property has 1-acre of fenced space where your pup can run around until their heart’s content. If you have a senior pup, a young puppy, or a dog with complex medical needs, you have found the right home. Having loved and cared for my own Akitas through major health challenges—including blindness—I am completely comfortable managing complex medication schedules, topical treatments, oral meds, and injections. As an experienced dog and puppy foster (who even once fostered a litter of nine puppies!), I understand canine body language and know how to support anxious or transitioning pets. Rest assured, your pup will be cared for and welcomed with open arms no matter their situation. Pet care is my full-time job right now. I am generally away from the home for no more than a couple of hours, and if I do need to be away for longer, I will ensure you are aware in advance. I have a fenced backyard and three dogs of my own who will keep your pup company. My own dogs are a senior male, fully blind American Akita, an adult female pug mix, and a male puppy pug mix (the adult female’s puppy). I ensure all dogs are kept separate during mealtime and, as needed, during playtime where dog toys may be involved. I have crates and playpens, extra dog dishes, and plenty of indoor and outdoor toys for your pup to use as much or as little as they want. My own dogs love to cuddle and sleep on the couch and bed, and your pup is welcome to as well, as long as it’s okay with you. I’m happy to provide updates throughout your pup’s stay based on a frequency you’d prefer to ensure you feel comfortable with their time in my care.
About: I've cared for my family's Shih Ztu ever since I was 8 years old. Throughout his 13 years of life, I've also cared for my brother's Yorkie, Lab, and Golden Retriever on multiple occasions!! Now, I have my own 6 month old puppy named Zeke💕 I'm currently a full-time college student doing this as a side job. Dogs bring me an unbelievable amount of joy and are a great way to relieve some stress from school!! If I'm ever needed inside of your home, I will treat it as though it is my own. I am very responsible and understand how to clean up after myself and your doggy!
“I know how scary it can be to leave your beloved pet with someone, but let me just say they will be in great hands with Schuyler!! She is professional, and cares deeply for dogs - as well as has a lot of knowledge about them and what different breeds need . I appreciated her prompt responses and communication with me , providing me all the updates I wanted while our dog Burrow stayed with her ! Would not hesitate to use her again in the future!”

About: I have 26 years of experience caring for pets in shelters, boarding facilities, training environments, and veterinary settings. I’ve had the privilege of working with animals of all ages, personalities, and needs, and I truly enjoy building trust with each one. My approach is calm, patient, and gentle, with a focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. Pet care fits well into my routine, as I work at a veterinary office daily until 5 PM. I am available for evening visits, walks, and drop-in care during the week, and overnight care is also available on weekdays as long as I am able to attend my work shift the following day. I carefully plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent, reliable, and attentive care. I provide pet care exclusively in my client’s home to ensure pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment and daily routine. I follow each owner’s specific instructions closely, including feeding, walking, litter box care, medication administration, and enrichment time. I also monitor behavior and overall wellbeing, paying attention to any changes that may need prompt communication with the owner. My goal is to provide calm, consistent, and attentive care while maintaining the pet’s normal routine.
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. I currently have a puppy! I used work as a vet tech full time and am comfortable giving medication. I can watch dog friendly pets in my home. My dog is very dog friendly. When I leave I can separate them if need be. It is only my boyfriend and I at home with our puppy so we have a pretty quiet house. I do not have a physical fenced in yard but am very used to walking the neighborhood with my puppy!I will still make sure they get exercise!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Nelsonville on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Nelsonville 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 Nelsonville.
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 Nelsonville 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.
