“Summer took great care of my anxious dog. She was patient and kind, so my girl was able to eventually relax. Summer was very responsive, and sent lots of pictures while I was away. I would hire her again.”
“Stephanie and her fam are always so amazing with our elderly pup and is so flexible and understanding! Absolutely adore them and will continue to book with her! Highly recommend!”

“Jennifer and her husband were very nice to us and our dog, Penny. She was very flexible when we decided to have her watch Penny. She kept us updated all day, everything Penny did, which was very appreciated, especially when they treated our dog as their own. Jennifer her husbaned were very flexible when we decided to drop off Penny early in the morning at 7:30 AM and picked her up at 11:40 PM. Jennifer was very nice and we really appreciated Penny’s stay with her. We would let Penny stay with her again. Will definitely contact her if we need someone to watch Penny. Thank you!!!”
“Archna kept our two large dogs for us while we were on a long weekend trip. She was wonderful - you can tell she really loves dogs. She was flexible with drop off/pickup times, and provided daily updates with photos. Our babies came home tired, and everyone knows a tired pup is a happy pup. We would definitely use her again next time we need them boarded.”
“Tom and Tolley took excellent care of my 2 King Charles cavaliers, Max and Scout. With one being elderly and one being nervous/anxious, it’s always hard to leave them. Tom and Tolley catered to them and were so patient and kind! I received several messages and pictures everyday so I knew they were well taken care of. Would highly recommend!”
“Eric and Polly took excellent care of my dog Griffin. They sent me several pictures and kept me up-to-date on how Griffin was doing. I know he got the attention he needed. Thank you Eric and Polly. My dog has an anxiety problem and I think he’s better suited to have someone come in and watch him in his own home.”
“Katherine continues to be the best sitter we have ever had! So responsive and caring and able to look after our 3 dogs and 1 cat with professionalism and ease. 5/5 and would definitely highly recommend”
“Kimberly was great with my dog. I got updates daily with pictures. I can tell when my dog is stressed, and she didn’t appear stressed at all. All my instructions were followed, and medications given. I will use Kimberly again!”
About: I’ve had three dogs of my own over the years, so I know firsthand that dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, cuddly and calm, or a little shy at first. When your dog is in my care, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I’m attentive to their routines, love giving plenty of playtime and affection, and will treat your pup with the same care I would give my own. You can feel confident knowing your dog is getting both loving attention and dependable care while you’re away. Would love if dog(s) are getting treated regularly for fleas/ticks especially if coming into my home. I currently stay at home all day during the week so I would be able to give full attention to your pets needs. If they’re staying over the weekend I would accommodate my plans to be home while they’re in my care. Your pet(s) would have free range in my first floor apartment townhouse. There is a communal dog park that is walking distance I would take them to only if no one else was there. We have a private community that I would take them on walks throughout the day.
“Aspen was great! She sent so many pictures and updates and even took Koda on a trip to an orchard. This was a great experience and Koda had a great weekend.”
“From the moment I met Barbara I knew my pet would be safe with her. Skai took to her right away. Her home was peaceful and welcoming. Barbara kept me updated- assuring me our dog was doing well. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Abby, Mike and Sariyah are great! They are friendly and flexible. I knew Bode would be well taken care of and this was confirmed with the pictures I received. It is so nice to have good people share their home with our sweet Bode. Thanks guys”
“Julia was AMAZING. This was our first time ever leaving our dogs with a sitter, and Julia made us feel very comfortable and at ease. She let us come over before to do a meet and greet so that we could see the place. We had a change in plans from 1 dog, Rosie to 2 dogs, Rosie and Zane. She was very accommodating and flexible to our changes she sent us lots of videos and pictures of our babies, which we appreciate and love. Thank you again Julia and your hubby for taking such great care of our dogs. We have definitely found a sitter whenever we go out of town!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Parma Heights
We had a wonderful experience! Our two girls were so well cared for while we were away, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Everything went smoothly, and we came home to two happy girls! We’re so grateful for the care and attention they received and would absolutely recommend!
Alison is wonderful! She watched our dog once before while we were out of town and we were so pleased with her we booked again. She treated our pup so wonderfully and gave us updates about how she was doing. When I came to pick up our dog, I could tell she was very comfortable and calm. It was obvious she was well cared for. I will absolutely book with Alison anytime we need a dog sitter.
Kara is the absolute best. I don’t worry about my Maggie for a second when she’s with Kara. She’s happy to go and enjoys her own little vacay. Kara sends photos and updates daily. Our Maggie is a bit of scaredy-cat when it comes to rain/storms and was at Kara’s house during a few at her last stay and Kara updated us and loved Maggie through it. Your pet will not be cared for better anywhere else. Kara is the right choice!!
Chelsea and her husband are always great with a watching Hank during the day for me. This time they watched him for 2 nights while I was out of town. I got photos everyday and he always has phone hanging out in the pool and playing with the other dogs. Glad I have someone I can trust to watch my little buddy for me.
Tina & Rick are my go too sitters; they are kind, compassionate and understanding towards my Husky (and her behavioral changes as a senior dog). They are always flexible, which is good because I’m a huge procrastinator!!! But definitely book well in advance don’t be like me. 😂

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.
95% of sitters in Parma Heights 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 Parma Heights 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 Parma Heights.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Parma Heights. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Parma Heights 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.
