“Jasper loved staying and we felt confident and at ease that he was receiving the best care all while having the most fun. He was one tired pup when he came home. Plus, I don't think he was ready to leave. Thanks for a great home away from home!”
“You will be so happy you picked Stephanie!! She has watched both our dogs 2 times. The last time was for 10 days. When we picked up our dogs after the 10 days, our 11 month old Rottweiler actually guarded her from us for about a minute before he realized who we were. She must have loved him a lot for him to forgets us so quickly. LOL! She sent lots of pics and updates. Her husband also loved the dogs and they loved him. I will keep going back to her until she can’t do it anymore”
“This was my first time using David and he is FANTASTIC!!! He is very responsive. I got plenty of pictures and updates during Rocco's stay. I could tell Rocco was having a great time and was well taken care of. I would highly recommend him and will definitely be using him again in the future. Thank you for taking such great care of Rocco!”
“I would give more stars if I could! Keith and Wendalyn took loving care of my darling Penny as if she were their own dog. Lots of fun walka, cuddle time, time outside. They also made sure Penny adhered to her somewhat strict diet but also got to enjoy some treats. Hoping to rebook with them for my next out-of-town trip!”
“Miranda was great! We had her watch our 10 yr old lab retriever mix for three nights. Things went well and we will definitely be contacting her in the future for more dog-sitting! Thanks again!”
“Donovan and Lilly were fantastic and my pup Duke had a grand time playing for a couple of days. It was very convenient to have them on our path to Sandusky, we will surely reach out again if in need! Thank you!”
“I felt totally at ease leaving our standard poodle with Andreja for a 4 day weekend. She sent photos of Ruby my dog, and I appreciated it and it gave me ease in leaving her. Totally trust her and would leave Ruby with her again. Vicki Hudak”
About: I've taken care of animals since I was a kid and I love watching all animals. I groom, walk, train and reward them. I can handle stressful situations with many types of animals. Im currently working part time so there’s worry about my schedule I work around it easily. When scheduling I take into account my own animals as well and don’t take on more than I can handle. I take my 2 dogs for walks everyday they get baths when dirty and are very well trained. I handle fights and defiance camly and try to correct them without confusing them more or intensify the situation. I work with scared and timid cats and high energy cats. I love working with exotics and that’s my passion.
“Kelsi was amazing, her home is set up perfectly for dogs and my dog absolutely loved his time there. She was very responsive and even sent me pictures throughout the booking”
“Allison was fantastic! A real pro situation. Her home and overall scene was very welcoming and pet friendly. We absolutely loved the daily photos and updates, a real comforting plus. We’re attached to our dog Fiona and felt very much at ease leaving her with Allison and her crew. The attention and care that Fiona received made the decision to leave her with Allison an easy one. This will probably open up more travel opportunities knowing we don’t have to constantly think or worry about our girl!”
“Shelby and her husband were great! I felt very safe leaving my anxious mini goldendoodle with her knowing he was in great hands. She sent pictures and updates. Exceeded expectations ?”
About: I’ve taken care of and loved dogs since I was 13. My family had an Australian Blue Heeler, Irish Wolfhound, Rhodesian Ridgeback, and Boxers. I currently have two Bernese Mountain Dogs who are the loves of my life! I have experience with dogs as small as Chihuahuas and large as my Berners. I spend a lot of time playing, training, and walking/hiking with the dogs I care for. I like to keep them engaged! I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which gives me the ability to care for and play with my own dogs and your dogs. Dogs have improved my life immensely, and I try to repay the unconditional love by providing them with an awesome day, every day. I have a fenced in yard and two animal loving Bernese Mountain Dogs to keep your family happy and engaged. Juli is 4 years old and incredibly gentle with all living things. Cooper is 9 months old and definitely a big puppy. I also have room dividers/doggy gates if your pup needs space or time alone. We love going on walks and taking hikes in the surrounding parks, but I’m also intentional about taking time to calm down and relax (when needed)! I understand the importance of limiting exercise for puppies, especially growing large breed dogs, as well as making sure temperaments and play styles match with playmates!
About: I’m very active, and love all animals. Trust and being reliable is important, Especially when it comes to our loved ones. I have reoccurring clients for references, if needed. I have a flexible part-time job, so I can commit to your schedule and needs for your loved ones. I have outside references. Thank you I have a fenced in yard and plenty of room for playtime! I also enjoy walking the dogs, on a daily basis, to walk off some energy!
“I loved Brittany and her family. They took wonderful care of Diamond. They Have great communications, they make you feel comfortable leaving your pets there. I would Recommend anybody to them. They are Awesome ❤️We are definitely coming back soon.”
“Miranda was a 10/10 across the board and is my new go to sitter! She was thorough and asked all the important questions before the appointment, and always responded very quickly to all my messages. You can tell from the moment you talk to her that she loves animals and there is nothing to worry about. It was like a vacation for my dog between the trail walks and getting to play with her pets all day.”

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
98% of sitters in Nova 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 Nova 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 Nova.
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 Nova 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.

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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
