“Mary took great care of Duke! She was lovely to speak with, sent adorable updates, and asked thoughtful questions about his care. Duke warmed up to her immediately and had a great time at her home. We would love for Mary to watch Duke again!”

“Barley felt completely comfortable with Kadi as soon as they met, we knew she was in great hands. Kadi kept us updated with pictures and videos while we were out of town. I will absolutely book with Kadi in the future.”

“Takia hosted my sheepadoodle during some late planned holiday travel. She was very accommodating as we feed a raw diet to my dog, and her communication and updates were great during my time away.”

“Mary did an amazing job dog sitting for my dog Piper. Mary is very knowledgeable about dogs, great about communication/updates and was invested in making sure my dog felt at home. It seemed like Piper really enjoyed her stay. I felt really at ease knowing that Piper was in such good hands during my vacation, and I will absolutely book again the next time I'm going out of town!”

“Victoria was able to accommodate Abbey the same day (with in hours) of when we needed to drop her off. My dog was immediately drawn to Victoria and her calm easy energy. Victoria sent a picture of Abbey fitting in and to check in with pick up time. When I came to pick up my pup she was enjoying a beautiful day in their big back yard with the other dogs Victoria was sitting. Over all I felt my dog felt at easy with Victoria, her family and the other dogs being watched after.”

“Kaya had a great stay with Taylor. Taylor was available to watch Kaya on short notice when we had a last minute change in our travel plans and was super flexible and had great communication! We were so appreciative!”

“Kyra was fantastic taking care of my mom's dog when she was in the hospital unexpectedly. He is a rescue and very skittish, but Kyra made him feel comfortable and right at home. She also sent photos and updates every day. Highly recommend Kyra for your furry family members!”

“We’ve been using Pamela for 5 years now with absolutely no issues. Our little dog Walter loves going to her house! Pamela is responsive, kind, and honest. She always responds quickly with her availability and she is almost ALWAYS available, even sometimes for last-minute bookings. We will return to Pamela again and again!”

“Eric and Polly are fantastic! They are so caring and Colby loves spending time there! We can go on vacation knowing that he feels at home and that he is in a safe and loving environment.”

“Andrea is very professional and communicative. She is patient and attentive to the needs of both of my high energy pit bulls. I’ve gone through many dog sitters and she by far is the best she is great at understanding the needs of my girl pit as well as my boy. She goes above and beyond to make sure they’re comfortable and taken care of during their stay. Thank you again.”

“Katherine is the absolute best! She was so gentle, experienced, and talented with my cat. She has such great arrangements set up for each animal she has and I never had a worry about a thing! You could tell she loves doing this and she puts all of her heart into caring for these animals. Book her!”

“Thankyou so much for taking care of Lucky. You are the the best. I had no worries leaving my little Lucky with you. Sent me pictures every day to keep me updated on how Lucky was doing. I Would 100% definitely rebook again.”

“Thomas was absolutely awesome ! I am so thankful that we were able to find him. I have a 2 year old intact German shepherd and my husbands work closed on short notice for 2 weeks so we decided to take a vacation. I was scrambling to find some boarding for him but if you have a large power breed who isn’t neutered than you know it can be difficult to find places that accept them. The only boarding option I could find was a no contact facility where he would have been in a kennel the WHOLE time except for 3 30-1 hr potty breaks which were on a LARGER kennel area. Totally unacceptable to me. That’s when I started looking on Rover and was so glad to find Thomas. Not only does he care for your pet he also puts in the time and energy to exercise them which is so SO important to me. He was super flexible, gave me a ton of updates and still took Bear on walks/runs during this insane 95 degree heatwave we had. I totally trusted that he kept Bear safe during that time (walking in hot weather wise). This is a person who truly cares about animals and takes care of their physical, mental and emotional needs. I don’t know how to add pictures here but if I find out how to I will. Can’t say enough good things.”

About: Hi, I’m Kris! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have two years of professional experience working in a busy doggy daycare, where I was responsible for safely supervising and caring for up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play, administer medications, maintain proper cleaning and disinfection protocols, and provide a safe, low-stress environment for every dog in my care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and pets with behavioral challenges or special medical needs. I’ve also fostered dogs in my home, which has given me additional experience helping nervous or transitioning pets feel safe and comfortable. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to three dogs and a cat, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a patient companion, medication, or simply lots of love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! et care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my day around consistency and animal care. I have experience managing multiple pets at once, so I’m used to building my schedule around feeding times, litter box maintenance, play sessions, and check-ins. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits and maintain a steady routine for each pet I care for. I’m comfortable incorporating visits into my day-to-day activities, and I plan my time so pets always get full attention without feeling rushed. Because I’ve worked in structured animal care settings and have fostered pets in my home, staying on top of routines like feeding, cleaning, medication, and companionship is second nature to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s something I naturally organize my day around I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care visit. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m careful with home entry and follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and any house rules. I keep doors secured during visits, monitor pets closely during interactions, and make sure their environment stays clean, comfortable, and safe at all times. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me. I approach each animal with patience and respect, especially shy, senior, or anxious pets, and I always move at their comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, consistent experience so pets feel secure while you’re away and you feel
“Kathleen was great - Dewey is an anxious pup, but she was able to get him to settle down and be comfortable quickly! She was very communicative and kept us well informed as to how he was doing. We will definitely be using her again!”

“We had such a great experience boarding our dog with Shannon and Robert. They made it easy from the start! You can tell that this is a family of dog-lovers, which brings so much comfort when leaving your baby behind. They updated us daily with pictures and tidbits on how the stay was going. Their home is calm, clean, and comfortable. We're so grateful for the love and care they gave our boy while we were away. We look forward to becoming a repeat customer & I will recommend Shannon and Robert to any and all friends in the future!”

Obie loved her stay with Aspen! Especially hanging out with her new friend Clifford — the sweetest most gentle pup. Aspen sent photos and updates throughout the day which we so appreciated. We needed to extend Obie’s stay last minute and we were so grateful she was able to accommodate. Aspen was very easy to communicate with and we know she took the best care of her. Obie will definitely be back!

Sarah & Ted provided 10 excellent days of care for Louie! We appreciated the regular pictures and updates. We also applaud the way she picked up on his love of cuddles and walks and accommodated them! We picked up a calm, healthy and happy fur baby! We'd book again without hesitation!

Extremely grateful to Tori! I needed someone to take care of my Bailey at the last minute due to an emergency, and she was available right away. She took amazing care of my baby and sent me lots of pictures throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Tori is awesome! I 100% recommended!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I never have to worry about my dog when she is with Kimberly. She’s great about sending pictures and videos so that I can see how my dog is doing. My dog has never looked stressed in any of the pictures at Kimberly’s, and that is unusual for my tender hearted dog! I will continue using Kimberly as long as she’s available!!

Jessica was wonderful watching our dog Alfie! We met prior to make sure she and her dog would be comfortable with him. She’s very flexible and accommodating with timing and was so great with sending updates and pictures while we were gone. I would highly recommend her, she’s very caring and responsible! :)

I had a wonderful experience with this sitter! She took great care of Morty and Archie while I was away and made sure all of their needs were met. She kept me updated throughout their stay with plenty of photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and treated them like her own. Both dogs came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust her with my pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

This was my first time using Rover or even boarding my dog with someone who wasn’t a family member. Needless to say, I was pretty nervous about it and when I dropped my dog off, she was so worried and upset. But Hannah was a pro. She never made me feel like I was asking about my dog too much and alleviated any worries I had, always with a calm and understanding demeanor. Sent plenty of pics and updates and it wasn’t long before my dog warmed up to her. Thanks again Hannah!

Olivia was an amazing Rover sitter! She and her partner took such great care of Charlie. He was so happy when we picked him up, which says everything. They were also very flexible when our pickup time changed, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be using them again in the future! Thanks again for everything!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
