“Brandon was amazing with our dog Dixie and made everything very easy. With this being our first time outside of family dog sitting he kept us in the loop with everything going on. We will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Leslie takes care of my big girl every Tuesday and Wednesday! She sends me update photos and videos all day which I appreciate and look forward to. It makes me feel at ease knowing she is in good hands when I am at work and that she is happy there!”
“As a rescue dog with limited time outside her new safe and friendly home, I was unsure how she would do in a first time little known environment. She not surprisingly took a little time to adjust but appeared to have a very fun day and came home well behaved, after an exciting new experience. The flow of pictures and videos really helped keep my mind at rest and I look forward to having Mocha enjoy many future vacation days at your house among other well behaved and friendly active dogs like herself. Thanks for the great day and keeping our mind at rest.”
“Kyle was amazing with our 10 month old Bernese! He is extremely patient and understanding, especially when it comes to a high energy puppy! He sends multiple updates throughout the day to make sure you know your pup is being well taken care of :) We will definitely continue to use Kyle for daycare and other puppy needs, he treats Bogey so well and is very in tune with what he may need throughout the day ◡̈”
“Susan was wonderful. This was Chase's first visit with her & she sent me photo & let me know he was adjusting well. House is immaculate & very doggie friendly. I'll never use a boarding facility!”
“We were visiting friends in the area and needed a sitter for our 10 month old Labrador puppy, Miles. Al and Stacy were the perfect fit, providing excellent care with numerous updates via text, including photos and videos. It was reassuring knowing that Miles was in good hands. Thanks Al and Stacy. We would highly recommend and will definitely be using them on our next trip to Cleveland.”
“My husband and I were traveling across country with our fur baby, Bella and he wanted to visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. They do not allow dogs (unless they are service dogs) into the hall of Fame, so as a Rover sitter myself, I looked for a sitter here. I found Pam and she was great! She provided the care and attention that Bella needed. When we left the Hall of Fame to go pick Bella up, I texted Pam to let her know we were on our way. Pam was thoughtful enough to take Bella for a walk before we picked her up and continued for a four hour drive. I highly recommend her!”
“Cheryl is our go to whenever we need a sitter for Kona. She is flexible with scheduling and treats Kona with the best of care. She provides regular walks and pictures/videos to put us at ease. Kona loves to watch for chipmunks, birds and deer from Cheryl’s windows. I have booked both daycare and overnight care for long trips and we always know we can count on Cheryl.”
“Ms. Stephanie is a caring, dedicated, loving, and genuine pet owner and pet sitter. She is outstanding and it shows. My pet absolutely loved every moment with Ms. Stephanie and her family. Highly recommended.”
“Mary is so kind and truly loves animals. She was so kind and patient with my little puppy. She kept me updated throughout the day to ease my anxiety of leaving my dog for the first time. She also is very flexible in her schedule which is exactly what I was looking for. Excited to have Mary watch her again!”
“We’ve left our dog with Mike and Phyllis several times.They’ve taken good care of him. They have been very flexible and great to work with. We’ve enjoyed the updates and pictures they send.”
“Nicole was amazing! This was my Huskimo's first experience with doggy day care. He was hesitant at first, but Nicole reached out shortly after to let me know he was doing great with the other animals. The pictures were also adorable. He came home and slept for 3 hours! I know he's excited to go back very soon.”
“First experience on this app and it couldn’t have been better! What a great weight lifted knowing my sweet boy was in the best hands. Super attentive from the start and sent pics/updates throughout. Will most definitely be booking again!”
“We really appreciate the Rover service we got. Our PAWsome sitter, Abby A. took the time to meet with us before taking care of our precious baby goldendoodle -Winnie. We also love that she is absolutely great with pets and took the time to understand the rest of our needs and requests for our fur-baby. Thank You! Will definitely request again!”
About: There’s never been a time in my life where I haven’t been active. Realizing I could be both; active AND hang out with some furry friends - it was a no brainer for me. I’ve had two of my own dogs for the majority of my life (cat lover as well), so I’ve most definitely been acclimated to all that they may throw at me. I started rover mid 2025 as a side gig after hopping out of the 9-5 life - I now have a consistent clientele and pups/ kitties that I’ve watched grow up. I’m looking to continue booking up my schedule as I love what I now do! I most frequently get requested for walks and drop-ins. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to send me over a message!! I’m currently only working part-time. I have some time on my hands and love dogs as is, so when I realized this was a side gig option, I hopped on it! I’ll be accepting walks/sitting/pop ins whenever I’m free! I have an open house with no fragile valuables, a fenced in back yard, and crates/ closed off options. Also very adaptable to other homes systems.
“100% would recommend S&J! I had an unique circumstance of coming from out of town for a family event and Sheila accepted my 8 month old pup, Reggie, for the day. She provided constant updates and made me feel comfortable leaving him for the day without them every meeting. Thank you so much!”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Novelty commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 544 sitters in Novelty, 90% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
