“Leslie was amazing. Treats our dogs like family. Gave extra attention when our puppy’s stomach was upset with his first day away, but they were so great about it. Dogs had a great weekend and so did we knowing they were in safe hands!”

“12/10! She and her husband took in my zoo last minute, was super communicative and sensitive to any needs the had. My Newfie and English bully absolutely adores her golden and was even able to have a little birthday treat for her golden while there🤩 She is my go to now, 100%. Thanks for everything!”

About: I absolutely love animals! I grew up in a home full of dogs and cats, and helping care for them was such a big part of my life growing up. I now have a cat of my own, my fur baby, Fish 🐱 I recently graduated from PA school and won’t be starting my job until August, which means I have lots of availability this summer! Spending my days with animals honestly sounds like the perfect way to spend the season. I’d love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your pets! (: I don’t start work until August, so I have a pretty open schedule and lots of availability! I do have one week-long vacation planned this summer, but aside from that, my schedule is very flexible. I’d prefer to handle most pet care during the week, but I’m available on weekends as well! 😊 It’s a single-story home, so I’m always nearby and able to keep a close eye on any pets in the house. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and play!
“Will and Bibiana were awesome. Responsive, kind, and sent photos while we were apart from our dog. Luna was clearly relaxed and well attended to in their home.”


“Tamisha was wonderful. We had a family emergency and we had to fly out and she came through. She was so helpful and Eden had a great time. She kept us updated and sent photos. I would highly recommend Tamisha.”

“Keylor and Grace were very accommodating when I was running late and when I picked Molly up earlier than expected. They were gracious and kind and took very good care of our Frenchie. She had such a good time with the bigger dogs; she was sad at home without them.”

“Hannah and Daniel took great care of my dog while I was gone! I know she can be an anxious dog so it was great to see photos of them and their daughters loving on her like she was their own”

“Laken is incredible. She sent the best updates and pictures while Biscuit was staying with her. I know anytime Biscuit is with Laken he is being well cared for and having the best time.”

“Once again, Jamie watched my ruby. She is extremely informative and keeps me updated with pictures and how my little dog is doing. I actually had a schedule change and she was quick to accommodate. She’s absolutely amazing and I am forever grateful that Ruby has such a safe place to go and play”

“Cassie was great & took good care of Henry - she even gave him a bath! He looked great when we picked him up & seemed like he had a good time too. Will definitely use her again when we’re in the area!”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my deep commitment to providing personalized, loving care for pets of all ages and needs. I understand that each pet has its own personality, routine, and preferences, and I make sure to tailor my care to meet those unique needs. Whether you're leaving behind a playful puppy, a senior pet needing extra comfort, or a pet with special requirements, I am equipped to handle it all. I offer basic puppy training to help with behavior and obedience, ensuring your little one is well-behaved and happy. For senior pets, I provide extra attention, gentle handling, and customized activities that support their mobility and health. I also keep owners updated with regular check-ins and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in safe hands. My approach is built on trust, reliability, and a genuine love for animals, making sure your pet feels cared for and secure while you're away. I work from home full time so I am always available for frequent potty breaks and lots of attention 24/7. I like to stay in touch with pet owners with regular updates, photos, and messages so they know exactly how their pet is doing. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family in a comfortable, safe, and pet-friendly environment. My home features a spacious, fenced yard where your dog can run, play, and explore to their heart’s content. There’s plenty of room for fetch, games, and exercise, ensuring they get the physical activity they need. Inside, I don’t use crates; your pet has free access to the entire home, including the couch and the bed—because I believe pets should feel relaxed and at home, just like they would in their own space. I know that some pets are more comfortable lounging with you or snuggling up at night, so I encourage them to be as close as they want. I keep their routine consistent, feeding them at the same times and following any special instructions you’ve provided. The atmosphere is calm, welcoming, and full of love, so your pet will feel right at home, whether it’s a short stay or a longer visit. I strive to make sure each pet receives the attention, exercise, and affection they need to feel happy and secure while staying in my care.
“Justen was very accommodating and flexible with drop off and pickup. He sent pictures and made me feel secure that my pup was safe and being cared for as if she were his own!”

“Summer was amazing! She was accommodating and understanding when we issues with dropoff and pickup. Lucky had a wonderful time with her and her family. Will definitely have her again as a sitter”

“The dogs seemed to have a great time, they were exhausted when they got home from all the running around and playing they did. We will definitely use them for future stays.”
“Kelly and Bandit were so great with Jasper!!! Kelly provided great updates and lots of pictures. She was so easy to work with and very accommodating! Definitely recommend Kelly for your pup!”

“Osa felt so comfortable staying with Taylor a second time, she is so wonderful! Also always so quick to respond to messages, sent adorable pictures, and so flexible and on time with pick ups and drop offs!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Dajon! He took wonderful care of Charlie while I was away. I was sent videos and updates everyday. Actions speak louder than words though because when I got home and opened the door Dajon was right there with me and Charlie completely ignored me and ran to Dajon!! I guess you can say he was spoiled and very well taken care of! I have already referred my doctor and a good friend to the Rover app. They had never heard of it. Thank you Dajon! Charlie and I love you!! ❤️”

“Amy was absolutely wonderful and accommodating. She allowed extra time for pickup when our flight got in late. She kept us updated and sent pictures of Blue throughout his stay. I will definitely book with Amy again!”

Jill and her family are amazing. I was nervous about leaving my fur babies with someone they didn’t know. But Jill and her family took care of them as their own. Tonight I booked them again and my dogs went right in and seemed to be at home. I highly recommend her for your fur baby

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
