About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a little kid. Our family always had a dog and my specialty is belly rubs and long walks I work from home and can spend as much time as possible playing with them. I give unlimited belly rubs and kisses to make them comfortable I have plenty of space to make your dog comfortable and happy with love and lots of rubs and kisses. The dogs have access to lay on the bed and furniture
“Paul and Penny were wonderful caretakers for our dogs. Our dogs felt completely comfortable at their house and were well taken care of. I highly recommend them as sitters and would definitely use their services again!”
“We are so happy to have found Angela. Our Miniature Schnauzer puppy loved the wide open yard and all the tender loving care received from her and the family. Angela kepst in touch and sent lots of updates and videos of Howard interacting with her dogs...He was having a blast...so much better than putting him in a Kennel. Angela definitely gets five stars and we will look for her again for our next trip. Dave and Caroline”
“Nicole was amazing! She took care of Bella so well! She kept sending me updates when I asked and sent pictures and videos! I felt like Bella was safe and in good hands. Will definitely be having Bella and Kala stay with her when I need any boarding!”
“Oreo loved Birdie, and I can tell she loved him back! She sent me a lot of pictures and I could tell my Oreo was loving her always cuddling and playing with her. We are definitely coming back to Birdie. It was the first time we ever left Oreo with anyone outside family and he did great.”
“Zemo loves his stays with Edgar & friends! He always comes back tired from all the play time. Edgar is fast to respond, and friendly at pickup and drop-off. Anything I bring with Zemo is always neatly packed back into the bag it was brought in. Zemo himself seems well-cared for and happy at pickup, and looks calm and happy in any photos sent during the stay.”
“This was our first time using Rover.com, and Mark was great. He took our dog for a walk and seemed to genuinely care about our pet. We recommend him as a petsitter!”
“Lexi was wonderful. She really seemed to enjoy my dog, a boxer. She sent me a lot of pics suggesting he was having a fine time at his sleep over. I immediately felt at ease with leaving him there. I’ll use her again if she is available. When we got him his stools were normal (they aren’t when he is stressed) and he hadn’t lost weight (does when he is stressed). He was fine.”
About: Hi! I’m Krystal, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 13 years. I provide dependable dog walks, drop-in visits, and in-home pet care for dogs, cats, seniors, and multi-pet households. Whether your dog needs a midday walk while you’re at work, your puppy needs a potty break and some playtime, or your pets simply do better with a consistent routine, I’m happy to help. Visits can include walks, potty breaks, meals, fresh water, medication, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of attention based on your pet’s normal routine. I also have experience caring for senior pets and pets requiring medication or a little extra patience and support. After caring for my own senior dogs, I understand how reassuring it is to have someone dependable who will take the time to get to know your pet and their individual needs. I’m available for both occasional and recurring weekday walks and drop-ins and love building long-term relationships with pets and their families. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is my full-time focus, and I structure my days around the pets in my care. My daytime schedule typically includes walks, drop-in visits, errands, appointments, and other everyday commitments. For boarding and house sitting, I spend plenty of time with your pet throughout the day while balancing my scheduled visits and commitments. Because of this, pets should be comfortable spending some time independently while I’m out. I also offer complimentary meet & greets so we can connect, review your pet’s routine, and make sure we’re a great fit before their stay! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and settled while you’re away. For boarding, I provide a comfortable home environment and follow your dog’s feeding, potty, walking, and sleeping routines as closely as possible. Favorite toys, treats, and comfort items are always welcome! In your home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, litter care, medications, playtime, and household preferences. I’m also happy to reinforce any training or routines you’re currently working on.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Northwood
Kristal took very good care of our 3 pups while on a cruise. She was flexible with our schedule when we decided to drive to Florida instead of fly which caused us to need to extend our booking which she did without hesitation.Even though Kristal knew that I wouldn’t be reachable during our 7 day cruise she still made sure to send updated & pictures for me to see once I was back online. Of course our pups were very happy to see us, they went right back to their normal behavior without missing a beat which tells me they were treated well while in Kristal’s care. We would deff recommend her to others & will use her in the future.

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.
95% of sitters in Northwood can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Northwood home-away-from-home, 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 Northwood.
<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 Northwood 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.

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 .
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.
