“We had a great experience with Ashley Communication was excellent throughout, and they were very patient and attentive with our dog. Everything was clean and well taken care of. We're very happy with the service and would definitely recommend!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member! My husband and I share our home with Boba, our sweet French Bulldog, who has brought so much joy into our lives. Being a dog parent myself, I understand the importance of routines, patience, affection, and making pets feel comfortable in a new environment. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I especially enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and making sure they feel loved and secure. My goal is to provide a welcoming, low-volume, home-based experience where your dog receives individualized attention rather than feeling like just another guest at a busy boarding facility. Whether your pup loves cuddling on the couch, playing, or simply relaxing nearby, I'll do my best to make their stay feel like a home away from home! I work remotely, so I'm home throughout much of the day and can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Having a dog of my own, I'm already accustomed to regular feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection! My flexible home-based routine allows me to provide companionship and attention throughout the day, rather than leaving visiting pets alone for extended periods. I offer boarding and daycare based on my availability and intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at once so each guest receives personalized attention. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I provide a welcoming home environment where dogs can relax, play, and receive plenty of individual attention. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to maintain familiar routines and respect each pet's unique needs. I require a meet-and-greet before accepting new boarding guests to ensure they're comfortable with me, my home, and my resident French Bulldog, Boba. I follow each owner's feeding instructions, medication requirements, and care preferences closely. I also supervise interactions between dogs, provide separate feeding spaces, and make sure every pet has a comfortable place to rest. I intentionally keep my bookings limited and provide regular photo updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in caring hands.
“Awesome family! My second time booking with them and I feel so comfortable leaving my cat with them. I get updates through pics, communication is a breeze and they are super accommodating and flexible. Thank you so much!”
About: Hi I’m Izzy! I currently work at an animal hospital in kennel care. I’ve adopted/fostered 15 animals (dogs,cats,birds,etc) since I was 8 years old. I’ve petsit for friends, teachers, and close connections! Since I do have an animal working job, that does mean that I will have to work around that. Some days mornings work better, as others the day or evening. Yet I'm very flexible and communication can sort that out! I make sure that your cat/s is good with water, any food, medication (if needed) and double check before and after if there’s any cautions that he/she could get to. On top of that picture & video updates!
“Lindsay is an amazing sitter! Our dogs, Rocky and Vinny, had the best time with her. They loved playing with her sweet dogs, Roxy and Fabio, and having the freedom of a fenced-in backyard. We had complete peace of mind while they were in her care—she’s kind, attentive, and truly treats dogs like her own. We couldn’t recommend Lindsay more highly to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter!!! It almost seemed like our dogs didn’t want to leave they were having such a good time!!”
“Halina was an amazing caregiver for Riley. Riley is a rescue and takes a while to warm up to new people, but she bonded with Halina and the pictures shared showed us she had the time of her life. Halina anticipated her needs and kept her busy. It's obvious that Halina has a lot of experience with many kinds of dogs. Their goodbye was so sweet when we picked her up. I highly recommend her!”
“This was our first time leaving Remy which was worrisome because he is high energy. Paige and her family took good care of him and welcomed him into their home on short notice over the holiday. I think Remy was happy and comfortable and really enjoyed playing with her dog . We received pictures and updates. We are very happy!”
“Sam was awesome with my cats! She has a very nice clean house and a super sweet dog and my cats loved her! I would definitely recommend booking with her for your pet needs, she was very attentive and sent photo updates! Thank you!!”
About: I have always had a love and passion for caring for small dogs. Over the past three years, I have gained personal experience caring for my own pet, learning the importance of patience, consistency, love, and attention in helping a dog feel safe and happy. Throughout the years, I have also helped care for family and friends’ pets, which has allowed me to build trust with different dogs and understand their unique needs and personalities. One of my favorite parts of caring for dogs is watching them grow into their own little personalities. Every dog is different, and I enjoy learning what makes each one feel loved, comfortable, and excited. I especially love small dogs because of their sweet, playful, and affectionate nature. Whether it’s cuddling, going on walks, playing, or simply spending quality time with them, I truly enjoy making sure dogs feel cared for, loved, and supported. My goal is always to provide a safe, gentle, and fun environment where pets feel like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine because I have been caring for my own small dog for the last three years. Each day, I make time for feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure my dog feels loved, safe, and comfortable. I enjoy building that routine because dogs thrive on consistency, attention, and care. Throughout the week, I also make space for longer walks, extra playtime, grooming needs, and quality bonding time. Since I have helped watch family and friends’ pets over the years, I understand how important it is to keep pets on a routine that feels familiar to them. Pet care fits naturally into my life because I truly enjoy being around dogs, learning their personalities, and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I currently work full time from home 4 days a week and have plenty of time to help others care for their fur babies. I care for pets with patience, attention, and love when they are in my home. My goal is always to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their routine as normal as possible. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and welcoming environment where pets can relax, play, cuddle, and feel like part of the family. I make sure they have fresh water, proper feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. Since I have a passion for small dogs, I really enjoy creating a space where they can feel comfortable and loved. Whether I am cuddling with them, taking them on walks, playing with them, or simply keeping them company, I care for every pet as if they were my own.
About: I love all animals. Right now, I have 2 dogs (My sweet Gary, an English Bulldog, and CoCo, mainly Norwegian elkhound, husky boxer mix), 5 kitties, a yellow belly turtle, a sulcata tortoise, a leopard gecko, a teddy bear hamster & more. I used to have great danes but they passed from old age. In 2004 I graduated from a two year program, with a certificate in Animal Management. Which includes Dog Grooming & Training, Small Animal, Reptile, and Bird care. I work from home, so I have lots of availability to care for pets from my home. I have worked from home for the past 19 years and I am home most of my time. I might as well have a few extra furballs to bring me joy! I have a 6 foot tall privacy fence. Mini dogs I would have to put on a long lead as tiny dogs can fit under my fence.
About: Hi, I’m Dustin! I bring 33 years of hands-on pet care experience and a lifelong love for animals of all shapes and sizes. I currently share my home with a sweet dog, two cuddly cats, and two wonderfully curious rats — so I’m no stranger to different personalities, needs, and routines. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, goofy, or needs a little extra patience, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and understood. I treat every animal like one of my own, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away. From belly rubs and playtime to calm companionship and reliable care, your pets will be in gentle, experienced hands. Looking forward to meeting your furry (or whiskered!) family! I work full-time, but I still make plenty of room in my schedule for quality pet care. I’m available early mornings, late afternoons, evenings, and nights, as well as weekends, for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I make sure each pet gets reliable attention, consistent routines, and lots of love — even with a busy workweek. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, safe, and loving environment where they can relax, play, and follow their usual routines. I provide plenty of attention, supervised time, and cozy spots for resting. For drop-ins and walks, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their own space — feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up, giving medication if needed, and spending quality time so they feel secure. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them, I always treat every pet with the same care and kindness I give my own.
About: Hi I’m Sydnie, I have two cats and dogs. I love your animals and will care for them just as I care for my very own! I’m working part time and going to school. I have time to care for cats and dogs for drop ins and walks in late afternoons I have crates available if needed and also have a fenced in backyard, can walk around local park and around the neighborhood 💟 💟 💟 💟
About: I have always had dogs at home, I dogsit for a couple families on the regular. Dogs come up to me on the street, my family and friends call me a dog whisperer. I love dogs and I am in college away from mine at home I am a student, and i do play basketball but i am free in the early mornings, afternoons, early then late evenings. With that said I would love to have time to spend with dogs and just get away from my school I can not do my home, but I am a very responsible person and I treat others home as if it were mine! I am reliable and can promise a trust worthy helper.
“Dana was amazing with my little Valentine:) she was very accommodating and communicated with me throughout the entire stay. She sent lots of pics. He enjoyed his play time with her pup and felt very comfortable in her home. Thanks 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 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.
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.
