“I needed care for my senior dog, Cookie, so I could attend a workshop out of state. I didn't want to leave Cookie boarded back home for an extended time, so it was great for Madison to care for my dog in her home near my workshop. Cookie was well cared for and I appreciate that all her needs were met. I really appreciated the updates and photo. Madi was great to work with!”
“Everything worked out just fine! Macchi is her happy energetic self and I'm glad to have her back! Thank you so much for utilizing the instructions left for her. It's often difficult to find someone who will follow them. We would totally stay again!”
About: I have 30 years of hands-on experience with dogs, including breeding and raising puppies, professional training, and working with rescue dogs needing behavioral rehabilitation. I have experience with many breeds, temperaments and behavioral challenges, along with numerous references from clients and families who have trusted me with the care and training of their dogs. Drop-in visits are available for potty breaks, feeding, medication, playtime and check-ins for dogs of all ages. Because I’m also a professional dog trainer, I can incorporate basic obedience training, manners and mental stimulation into our time together. Your dog gets the care they need, plus productive one-on-one attention while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate both regular and occasional drop-in visits throughout the week. Whether you need ongoing visits, occasional help, or care while you’re away, I’m happy to work with your dog’s normal routine and schedule. I care for each dog according to their established routine, household rules and individual needs. As an experienced trainer, I’m comfortable reading canine body language and handling different temperaments. I respect your home, your dog’s boundaries and the training or structure you already have in place while providing safe, attentive care.
“Debra did great with our young puppy! We were worried when we dropped him off because he’s been so shy and scared of everything at home. Debra’s communication was amazing and she kept us up to date on how the little guy was doing. After bringing him back home he’s now super engaged, exploring a lot more, playful, and the complete opposite of shy. Clearly he had a very positive experience with his stay. We will absolutely use Debra again in the future!”

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.
100% of sitters in Okolona 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 Okolona 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 Okolona.
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 Okolona 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.
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.
