“Lauren took great care of Zuri! She has a great space for dogs, handled medications/other needs well, was flexible with a last-minute booking, and sent frequent updates and pictures. We will definitely be back in the future!”
“My two Bichons Cisco and Stunner love Cristi. They were well cared for while in Cristi’s care and her home is set up for dogs. We rebooked and feel so blessed to have found her on Rover. Cristi sent pictures every day to keep us smiling.”
“Dawn and Robert were great with my dog! They have a private fenced in back yard, which is great for my dog who loves to be outside but who doesn't get along with other animals. I got daily pictures and updates which is always appreciated so I know he's being taken care of. Highly recommended!”
“Megan & Jay were wonderful! Easy to communicate with and sent lots of pictures. They took great care of our pup! She looks forward to staying with them again!”
“Dawn was incredible. From the warm welcome upon my last minute business trip in which Atticus couldn’t join. Dawn provided fresh chicken and daily walks and her updates were detailed and lovely. Such a wonderful experience. Will be back. Thank you!”
“Wonderful as always!! Bueller loves visiting Karen and it makes our time away so much easier knowing he is in good hands! Thanks for loving on our boy ☺️”
“Tamisha was a big help to me over Thanksgiving with Peaches. I was nervous same as Peaches but you could tell she relaxed and had a good time with her. I really appreciated the pictures and her flow with my schedule.”
“Marena was our dog savior! We had a last minute trip out of town for the 4th of July weekend and our regular boarder couldn't watch our dog. Thankfully, Marena was willing to help us out. She's so positive and caring, we had no worries about our dog who can be anxious around new people. I HIGHLY recommend Marena. She's not only an awesome dog caretaker, she's an awesome person. Thanks so much!”
“As always, we chose Joe as our sitter for our goldie. We always get at least one photo/video and update a day which is so appreciated. We never have to worry about him when he’s in Joe’s care. Joe is our go-to guy!”
“Elizabeth is great! My dog Calypso stayed with her for an extended weekend and Elizabeth updated me each day. Definitely will return😊Thanks again!”
“Deanna took great care of our pup and was sure to send lots of updates with cute photos and videos. Our dog had fun playing with hers and running around in her spacious yard!”
“Jodi took such good care of our sweet senior dog. As he's gotten older and his list of needs (and old-man quirks) grows, it's been hard to find friends or family who are able to care for him. We feel so lucky that we found Jodi and her family. They were so kind, and it was obvious our dog liked and trusted them immediately during our initial meet and greet. We also loved that they offer pick up and delivery, it was lovely coming back to town and having him brought home. We will absolutely use them again!”
“Dana, has done a outstanding job with my Duke boy! He is a stubborn at times, but Dana did just what I told to do. Awesome job I couldn’t be more happier with her. Thank you Sherry”
“Rene and Justin are fantastic with Mabel. She comes home happy, tired, and we know well loved. We get daily pictures of her adventures with their family and they are great with communication!”
“Ellen did such an amazing job with my senior rescue girl! She has some health issues and is a little shy, so I'm always worried about leaving her for the weekend with someone new, but I could tell she felt comfortable with Ellen right away. Communication was great—Ellen sent photos and updates and made me feel a LOT less guilty about leaving her. I honestly could not have had a better experience, which is saying something coming from a slightly neurotic mom of a special needs dog :) I'll definitely be booking Ellen again in the future!”
“Our very energetic pup, Bessie, stayed with Karla for a week. We were so grateful for Karla’s thoughtfulness and experience with dogs. Bessie had a blast with Karla and her two dogs. She provided thorough daily updates and was so flexible when we experienced travel delays! We highly recommend Karla!”
“Kathy kept our puppy in her home for 6 days while my husband and I were out of town. Rooney always has such a blast and gets along well with her other dogs. She always sends pictures and updates throughout the day. It’s so nice to be able to go away and know that Rooney is well taken care of. We love Kathy!”
“Felt so comfortable with our puppy being with Justen. He communicated with us every day and made sure King felt at home. Justen is a very nice person I highly recommend him if you need someone to take care of your fur baby.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pickerington
I have booked Jaz as a walker due to surgery preventing me from walking my dog for a while. Because of her dependability, professionalism, and communication I also booked Jaz to board my dog in her home for a short vacation. She is set up to board beautifully, and my dog loves her and her family, which is really the true test of a person. I am so glad to find someone that I trust who does such a great job.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Pickerington sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Pickerington landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Pickerington 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 Pickerington.
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 Pickerington 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.
