“Karin did an excellent job watching our fur baby Maggie she seemed happy and content thank you Karin we will definitely keep you in mind on our next get away Sincerely C. Williams”
“Chris took great care of our dog. He sent terrific photos each day and gave a report on how she was getting along. She went on walks and played with his daughters. We would be happy to use Chris again. Highly recommend him.”
“Sarah and Matthew are a DREAM for dog sitters and their beautiful farm is just paradise for any pup. They took such great care of our dog for eight days. They’d send pictures daily and communicated with us each day. Absolutely five star rating!”
“Well Sadie must have had a good time she was wore out I'm sure with playing with the children I know she loves little children and dogs everything went well is expected”
“Brendan and his family took great care of my 3yr old Lab - Indy. Clear communication, quick responses, updates with pictures, easy check-in and check-out. Not to mention, his little pup Ollie. Indy had a good time playing with and looked relaxed throughout the stay. Highly recommended and will certainly come back. Thanks Brendan! 😊”
“Sheila and Jeff were so wonderful! Our dog stayed there for 12 days and we got pictures and updates daily. She was loved and cared for in our absence- we would definitely bring her back again!”
“I felt immediately comfortable with Myra upon meeting her. Sage had a great week and ate all week, something she never does in a kennel. Myra is a puppy lover and kept us updated during the week. We plan to use her service again in a few weeks!”
“John and his wife Kelly took awesome care of our senior pup. They were fast with communication, gave her meds, and were very loving towards our girl. We will use them again!”
“Josie had an excellent stay with Aparajita. I had received photo/video updates consistently each day during Josie’s stay. It was basically doggy vacation as there were other doggy friends for Josie to play with, along with plenty of yard space and she even got the splash pad out after finding out that Josie loves water. Aparajita was kind enough to give Josie a bath and wash the towels we sent along with her. Will definitely be booking again and I highly recommend booking with Aparajita!”
“Tara was wonderful!!! This was my first time using Rover and she was great. Tara communicated well and often and provided updates about my dogs. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my babies!”
“My first time using Rover app. I was certainly nervous! Catherine & I talked before and thru out my trip and she was really good at sending photos and communication. Her dogs and mine were good together and I loved she had a fence yard for them. I will use Catherine again!”
“I highly recommend Sabrina. She kept our Chesapeake Bay retriever for five days while we attended a funeral. Her home is very nice; her dog runs are covered; and she has artificial grass in the runs, which are adjacent to the house so she can observe them. She has two huge yard areas for dogs to run and play. Most of all, she let our dog inside and treated her as part of her family. My dog was not stressed when she stayed there. Sabrina did not use crates, which is extremely important to me. She followed my dog’s feeding instructions and answered any questions that we had.”
“Kimberly is great! She is very quick at responding and giving updates (including photos). We noticed our dog came back very comfortable and relaxed. We are already booking again! Thank you very much Kimberly!”
“Kristen was prompt in getting in touch with me about boarding my fur babies, accommodating to their needs and schedule. Kristen kept in touch with me, sending pictures, and notifying me when she had concerns with one of my senior dogs. They had great love and care, will be calling Kristen again 🐾”
“Carly was so great with my pup! She was very welcoming to us and made me feel like Lady would be like a member of the family during her stay. She also texted me a photo that night, which was great because I was really missing my furbaby and reassured me that she was doing okay! Very flexible on pickup/dropoff as well. Will definitely work with Carly in the future!”
“Tim and Kat are simply the best! They have been wonderful with my two huskies, and I always feel completely at ease leaving them in their care. Communication is excellent, and they send the sweetest videos and updates that let me see how much fun my dogs are having. Their place has become my huskies’ favorite home away from home. The excitement on my dogs’ faces when they realize they’re going to see Tim and Kat says it all! They are flexible, reliable, caring, and truly treat my dogs like family. I can’t recommend them enough and am so grateful to have found such amazing sitters. Thank you, Tim and Kat, for taking such great care of my pups! 🐾❤️”
“Hatsuki’s care and compassion shines in everything she does. She had special doggy treats, daily walks, pics, and updates often. My pup is a nervous clinger and she made him feel safe and loved 🤎 will recommend her to anyone!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Rosangela provided for my Nico. From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely love animals. She kept me updated with daily messages, pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Nico came home happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. I also appreciated how she followed feeding instructions, gave him fresh water after walks and ensured plenty of play time. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable, Rosangela is the perfect choice. She is also very accommodating and flexible which with my busy schedule I really appreciate. I already booked with her again!! That’s how happy I was with her service. 100% Recommended”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pekin
The only reason I’m not leaving 5 stars for Heather is because an already scheduled drop off date had to be changed by her at the very last minute which caused me to have to really scramble to get my dog Maggie to her by an alternate time the next night. Other than that I was very pleased and will book with her if I have future boarding needs. Heather took very good care of Maggie who has some separation anxiety issues and made her feel comfortable. Maggie requires medication in the form of a pill 3x day which Heather agreed to and took care of. Correspondence and pictures were adequate during the stay. All toys and other items that I left with her were returned when I picked Maggie up at the end of my trip. Once again I would recommend Heather.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Pekin 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 Pekin.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Pekin 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.
