“We absolutely loved Tina an Rick. I felt like my dog(Milo) was very well taken cared for and in loving hands. We received daily updates that included pictures or videos. We also had an emergency and had to extend his stay and they were very accommodating. I also loved how they included at the end of his stay a little report of how his stay was. I will definitely use them again as i felt like they really treated my baby as they would their own dog.”
“Leonard and his wife were great while watching my pup! She seemed to really have enjoyed herself! I was sent pictures periodically and received great communication. They were also extremely understanding when my flight got delayed. Definitely will book again!!”
“Lynn was an amazing caregiver for my Chloe. She boarded there a whole week and I was very comfortable with her care. It was wonderful to travel and not have to worry. She texted me every day with updates and sent pictures and videos. She even washed all of Chloe‘s bedding!! which is so appreciated. She has a lovely spacious home and a huge fenced in backyard.I would highly recommend Lynn and hope to use her again.”
About: For the past four years, I’ve been actively involved in running a busy in-home dog boarding and daycare business through Rover. While my former partner handled most of the client communication and scheduling, I was heavily involved in the day-to-day care of the dogs and was responsible for making sure they were safe, happy, exercised, and well cared for throughout their stay. I regularly cared for multiple dogs at a time, including dogs staying with us 24/7. My responsibilities included taking dogs outside every 1–2 hours, supervising playtime and group interactions, providing exercise and enrichment, cleaning up after them, and paying close attention to their individual personalities and behaviors. Over the years, I’ve learned a great deal about dog behavior and how to safely manage different temperaments, energy levels, and personalities. I became comfortable introducing dogs to one another, supervising group play, recognizing when dogs needed space or a break, and making sure every dog was comfortable in the environment. I also handled a large part of the cleaning and daily upkeep, including deep-cleaning the dog areas, washing food and water bowls, maintaining a clean environment, and making sure the dogs always had a safe and comfortable place to stay. One of my favorite parts of caring for dogs is making sure they have a great experience while their owners are away. I love playing with them, giving them attention, taking them outside, and getting great pictures and updates for their owners so they can see how much fun their dog is having. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and after four years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a busy boarding and daycare environment, I’m excited to continue doing what I love and provide that same level of care to Rover clients and their pets. This is what I do and have done for a living for the last 4 years, prior to this I was working with my former partner under her rover account, plenty of play time for your pups! I can handle any dog of any temperament or behavioral issues that may require additional safety precautions. I go outside with the dogs in my care ever 1-2 hours, whether it be a group play session or 1 on 1 play. I tailor to every dogs needs.
“Phillis and Mike did an amazing job. Always sending pictures and videos of our Ellie a 1 year old Golden Retriever. I would highly recommend them to anyone. We definitely will be back again. Thanks you very much”
“Carla and her family are incredible! I was in Cleveland for work and unexpectedly needed a dog sitter She was super helpful and understanding. She took my dog for walks every day, even though she barks at every cat or dog she sees when she’s on walks She sent me videos and updates without me having to even ask. I’ve never had a dog sitter before so I was kind of nervous about texting everyday because I didn’t want to be annoying, she willingly sent me updates and even offered to allow me to come visit when I miss her. I definitely recommend! Five stars”
“I typically don’t leave reviews, so this is special. Our family has a super sweet dog named Abby, who is everything to us. I’m very protective of her and always super nervous letting her stay with a stranger. I was going to use my first and only other rover sitter but they were already booked up and she wouldn’t be able to stay the whole time. What a relief finding David, he has a very structured approach to introducing his dog which I have never done before. I can’t say enough positives about this experience. He and his family very loving to our girl. I counted no less than 33 pictures he sent throughout the 6 days Abby’s was there. The home is very clean and tidy similar to ours. Overall, I would not hesitate in sending our dog Abby to David in the future. Sorry for the long review, but I’m not good at leaving these.”
“Stephanie was great with Lady. She’s been having issues with her skin and Stephanie took the time to give her a bath to help. She was very patient with Ladies anxiety.”
“Our travel plans changed last minute and Marcie was amazing about it! She kept our dog an extra day no problems! Sent me pics everyday like our dog was part of the family! Amazing!”
“Debra took great care of my Boston terrier Oliver. He had to be on antibiotics and a painkiller at the time and she administered the pills to him daily. I am truly grateful he loved playing with her two little dogs too.”
“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!!”
“Katherine is amazing! Biscuit loved her and her dog!! He had the best time and she kept me updated daily with pictures and text messages! I will absolutely recommend her to my family and friends and will be using her services again! Thank you Katherine!”
“Ramona was everything her positive reviews said she was and more. She provided us exceptional care, and was very accommodating. She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay. We will deff refer and use again.”
“Cody had a great time at Nicole's house. I knew he would be in good hands with her and her small children and their big dog. I'm so glad he settled in there and I highly recommend Nicole. She is so pleasant and kept me updated on Cody. I will definitely use her again on tue near future!”
“Riya was the very best dog and house sitter! I felt so very at ease knowing she was there. She brought her wonderful dog too-at our request. And sent lots of pics of our smiling pup! Highly recommend! Thank you Riya!!”
“Olesja was great to work with and gave us peace of mind during our trip out of the country. She even recorded a little video of her singing happy birthday to our dog - it was nice to know that although his family couldn’t physically be there, he was still being loved on and celebrated! ☺️”

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.
Mariia was amazing with my dog for our weekend trip. She left multiple updates a day with videos and had so many toys/puzzles for her to enjoy. I also appreciate how she took the time to learn all about my dogs needs and quirks right away with her thoughtful questions. Thank you Mariia!
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. 😂
Cody had a great time at Nicole's house. I knew he would be in good hands with her and her small children and their big dog. I'm so glad he settled in there and I highly recommend Nicole. She is so pleasant and kept me updated on Cody. I will definitely use her again on tue near future!

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, 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.
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 , 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 .
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.
