“Suzanne is wonderful. She kept in touch the whole time our boxer was with her. She has tons of room for a pup to run and play. She is very knowledgeable about dog behavior as well and I never worried about anything. We will be using her again!”
“Katelyn was wonderful! We boarded our dogs at her home for 4 nights and she was so sweet to them and made sure to send plenty of photo updates. She kept them active and happy, which they loved! Highly recommend. 😊”
“Jenn was a wonderful care giver for our two dogs! She was so patient and understanding, they can sometimes be a handful. She kept us updated daily and sent photos. We knew they were in good hands! I would definitely use her services again and recommend her to others!”
“We found Cynthia and Tim because their location was convenient for our activities around Ohio's Lake Erie islands, but we also found their home to be a great place for our pups to hang out. The pups got lake side walks in their safe and charming community. (We are considering making their Lakeside community a destination for ourselves.) We are grateful for Cynthia and Tim's flexibility in scheduling as well. We will definitely call them next time we're in the area!”
“They did Fantastic with my buddy. I'm sure that you will be very pleased, with their services. I would like to thank them again, for taking great care of him.”
“June was AMAZINGGGGG!! Absolute best sitter I’ve ever had for River!! She kept great communication the entire time I was away, with plenty of pictures and stories. We will definitely be going to June again in the future!! THANK YOU!!!”
About: I love all animals and have a puppy of my own that I love to take on runs with me. My dog is my whole world and I would love to help others with their pets. I do work full time but am available for stop ins/walks during lunch time and plenty of play time after 5:30. I generally take my dogs on their walk around 6pm. I am able to board most weekends as well. I can easily crate pets if needed. I do not have a fenced in yard but have tie offs with long leashes. I have also near a school that has a fenced in yard that I and other neighborhood dogs use. For dogs, we will start with a walk to burn off some energy. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water and then we will enjoy more playtime. Throughout the day I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, well-fed and engaged. For cats, I’ll start by providing fresh food and water and spend time with interactive toys or quiet cuddles.
About: I have fostered many animals over the years. Very obedient dogs to deaf and blind dogs. I have also taken care of a variety of other animals such as ferrets, rabbits, and turtles. Hello, I am currently available at any time as I am taking a leave from my full time job for some very personal reasons. I will base things around your animals schedule. I follow strict instructions for your pets care plus more. Potty breaks are as frequent as need be especially with the age of the dog.
“Erin did a great job watching my 13 year old little old dog at her house while I was on vacation. I have my vacation booked for next year and I would definitely use her again for that! Her whole family absolutely adored him and took such great care of him. Thank you so much!!”
“Auggie absolutely loves staying with Beth! He has so much fun with her and the other dogs that he starts getting excited as we get close to her house. She provides excellent care and communication with regular updates and the cutest pictures. I am at ease knowing that he is having the best time while we’re away! Can’t say enough good things about our experiences booking with her and would highly recommend 💯”
“Jennifer is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and I felt comfortable leaving our Georgie, knowing he would be well cared for. He was excited to go stay and happy when we picked him up.”
About: I’m 24 years old, im a part time stna and part time dog sitter! Im a pet owner, I’ve grew up with pets my entire life. I grew up with cats, dogs, fish, goats. I love to care for animals/ people who can’t take care/speak for themselves😇 I currently work a part time, night shift job during the week Tuesday-Thursday. I am available on weekends at ANY TIME for boarding, house sitting or drop-in visits. And during the week I am also available any time after 9am! For any pet they need to be fed, bathed, time to play, let outside to potty and just be a nice companion to them everyday. I’m a pet owner myself so I already do the everyday chores/ needs that are needed for care. It’s been a lifelong routine of mine that I’m accustomed to.
“Paul and Penny were wonderful caretakers for our dogs. Our dogs felt completely comfortable at their house and were well taken care of. I highly recommend them as sitters and would definitely use their services again!”
About: My first job growing up was working for my aunts Dog Grooming Business. With that experience, I am able to bathe, trim, nails, and give haircuts to most breeds. I have been watching dogs for family and friends most of my adult life either in Home or at their home. I enjoy being outside taking dogs on walks in nature & letting them sniff all the smells. I currently work from home and I’m the owner of my business so my time is very flexible. I am able to go to homes or watch pets in my home during the day and nights. My home has a large unfenced yard with a woods where we are able to go on walks and explore. I have two dogs in my home and they are part of my family. I do have crates in home if needed, but rarely use them. Both of my dogs are rescues currently so I do like to have a meeting before if a dog will be staying in our home. If I’m watching the pet in your home, I will come over as much as needed and even stay the night if that is necessary.
“We could tell that Stella enjoyed her time with Betsy & Gordon and their children. We were very selective in our selected sitters leading up to our European vacation. This was our first out of the country vacation away from Stella. Betsy and Gordon provided us with great communication leading up to the booking, and great communication throughout. Easing my fur momma worries. We hope that Stella will visit again soon!”
About: I’m very good with different personalities of the dog and can work to what they feel comfortable with. Love giving them attention and making them happy! I am free from 3-7pm after I get off work. Taking care of animals fits perfectly into my afternoon schedule and is a great distressor as well. Depending on the animal we can play more outside or inside make sure they are feeling loved and happy. My dog personally loves being outside so we spend most our time on walks.
About: I'm a young professional and homeowner with a six-year-old Cocker Spaniel and two cats (I just had to get my anxious boy his own cat). I've had animals my whole life and often find myself gravitating to animals over people. My animals are my family and in my care, yours will be too! I work a full-time job, but my home activities center around the animals. They're cared for morning and evening, and my weekend activities are centered around making sure the animals have adequate care and socialization. They're provided fresh water twice a day, food twice a day, and the dog always gets time outside of the house once I'm home, even in the cold.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Port Clinton
Andrew was phenomenal with Roeby and extremely flexible with my plans. Since I was visiting Cedar Point from Chicago, I opted to bring her along for the drive, but obviously she couldn't come into the park. Port Clinton was on the way, so I booked Roeby's stay for two days with Andrew. Andrew took Roeby out for long walks, let her run in the sand (which she loves), played tug and fetch with her, and provided periodic updates. Now, as a summer park visit, the park is open late (10 PM in July), the park is extremely crowded during the day, and night rides are amazing, and we had a 2.5 hr weather delay that evening. Communicating with Andrew, he was flexible watching Roeby til a little after 11 PM, allowing me to catch night rides on Siren's Curse, Maverick, and SteVe. I highly recommend Andrew if you can't bring your pup along for the day. He was outstanding.

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.
100% of Port Clinton 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 Port Clinton 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 Port Clinton 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 Port Clinton.
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 Port Clinton 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.
