“This was Raj’s second time with Dawn, but this time he stayed a longer time. She kept me updated with pictures and anytime I randomly checked in, she responded almost immediately with a photo and update. This was greatly appreciated. When I picked him up, he was happy and healthy and seemed to have had a fun and relaxing time. I will definitely use Dawn’s services again.”
“Great Communication with Megan & David for my 1st time leaving Jackson with a new Rover sitter. I was even welcomed to do a meet and greet that went well. It left me very comfortable leaving Jackson for 5 nights. I received pictures and updates on how he was adjusting. I have already set up some more stays for some trips I have planned. I highly recommend Megan & David for the care of your dog.”
“Jessica was absolutely the best pet sitter! She was so sweet and really loves animals! She has the best setup for watching them in her home! She had a nice area for my cat to be separate if he chose to from her pets - but her pets were awesome also! I highly recommend her to everyone! I had been super anxious and worried about leaving my kitty, but my mind was at ease and I could relax on vaca because I knew my kitty was being extremely well taken care of! She also sent daily pics and notes, which was so great! Thank you so much Jessica!”
“This was our dog’s first stay with Paige and her family. I could tell from the daily pictures and updates that he had a wonderful time. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip without guilt or worry knowing he was having so much fun. Having the children to play with was really great! A lovely family, and I can’t thank them enough!”
About: Hi! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! 🐾❤️ I’ve been pet sitting for over 14 years, and caring for animals is something I genuinely love! I know pets are family, and finding someone you trust to care for them is so important. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I offer boarding in my home, drop-in visits, and occasional house-sitting stays. Our home has a fenced-in yard, and I love giving pets plenty of attention, affection, and opportunities to play, relax, and feel at home. I have three dogs of my own—a Lab mix, a Husky mix, and a Shih Tzu—as well as two cats, so animals are a big part of our family! I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable in my care. I’m also a mom of three little ones, so we have a busy, loving household. I always want to make sure every pet is a good fit for our home and feels safe and comfortable during their stay. I’m a big believer in meet-and-greets before booking! I love giving everyone a chance to meet, get comfortable with one another, and make sure it’s a good fit for both your pet and my family. I want you to feel confident and at ease knowing who will be caring for your fur baby. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, and I want you to feel confident that they’re in caring hands. I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you can see how your babies are doing while you’re away! Whether your pet needs a cozy place to stay, a friendly face to check in on them during the day, or someone to keep them company while you’re out of town, I’d love to help. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. ❤️ Feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐶🐱💕
“Krista was so accommodating, easy to communicate with and welcoming! My dog stayed for 5 nights and had a great time! Krista provided the sweetest updates with pictures to put my mind at ease :). My dog enjoyed playing with her Stella who was so sweet and helped make my dog feel comfortable. I will definitely use Krista again!”
“Our dog has stayed with Elisheba and her family multiple times. We greatly appreciate their care and attention. She sends us daily updates while she is with them.”
“Jill was amazing with my dogs. She was able to help with only hours notice, and far exceeded our expectations. She provided daily updates, and made the separation easier for us as we moved into our new home. I completely recommend her and will use her again any time I need to leave town.”
“Susan was great! I would definitely use her again in the future. My dog seemed happy to be there the whole time and enjoyed hanging out with her dog. She sent updates and pictures everyday and handled his fear of thunderstorms with no issues. Thanks again!”
“This was our dog’s first time here, and it was great! He seemed happy and well-taken care of, and we got some cute pics of him while we were away. They were very flexible with drop off and pick up, which was much appreciated!”
“Taylor was wonderful! Our dog was happy and very well cared for! We enjoyed the updates and photos Taylor shared throughout our girl’s stay. Highly recommend!”
“Katie was absolutely amazing for our dog Henry. Henry had a blast and was really worn out from playing with other pups. Katie was communicative and provided daily photos. Will be using again!”
“We have been boarding our dogs with Colleen for a few years now, and our pups absolutely love going to "Aunt" Colleen and "Uncle" Scott's house! They are the nicest people and there is no one else I trust more with my babies. Both of our dogs have a lot of medical needs and she takes incredible care of them. She contacts me immediately if she has questions about their care while we're away. Finding Colleen has been a godsend!”
“This was my Cherrys very first time staying with a sitter, so naturally, we were a bit anxious about how things would go. But from the very beginning, Ryan was incredibly patient, understanding, and flexible. He took the time to make sure both my dog and I felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. I’m so grateful for how smoothly everything went. Highly recommend—especially if you’re a first-time dog parent looking for someone you can really trust!”
“I would recommend Stephanie and family! Stephanie provided day to day updates to keep me informed of Georgia's comfort level. While she has been timid around new people in the past, Georgia adapted well with this family. Thank you!”
“Our dog had a great stay with Allison and family. He was well cared for and we got lots of status update pics. This was our first visit and we will be return customers when the next need comes up.”
“John is exactly who we needed. Best dog sitter I have ever used. I enjoyed my vacation more knowing that my little dog was in such good hands. He checked in regularly with updates. Took Birdie on walks and to visit friends and family. She came home very happy. Already have plans to use again!”

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 Newtonsville 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 Newtonsville.
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 Newtonsville 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.
