“Jane is a real pro! My wife and I truly enjoyed meeting her and appreciated the twice-daily photos and check-ins. She is the best dog sitter we have ever had and will be the FIRST person we call in the future. If you want a lovely, caring, and sincere sitter for your pet, you should try to schedule Jane M. We are very glad we did.”
About: We're CJ and Michael, a couple of lifelong dog lovers who both grew up with dogs and have been pet-sitting for neighbors, friends, and family for years. CJ is a resident physician, so she's calm, responsible, and great at following your care instructions to the letter. Michael works from home in consulting, which means your dog will have company, attention, and plenty of potty breaks throughout the day, not just at drop-in times. We live an active lifestyle and love long walks, exploring parks, and spending time outside — so high-energy pups fit right in with us. Just as happily, we'll match a mellow dog's pace with couch cuddles and slow strolls. Your dog will be treated like family: exercised, loved, and safe. We'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you're away. Michael works from home full-time, so your dog will have company and attention throughout the day — not just quick check-ins. Walks fit naturally into our daily routine: a morning walk, a midday break, and once CJ is home from work, we take a long evening walk that your dog is more than welcome to join. We're active on weekends too and love bringing a dog along to parks and around the neighborhood. Your dog will stay in our clean, dog-friendly home with plenty of cozy spots to relax. We keep a consistent routine — regular walks, fresh water, and lots of attention. All walks are leashed, and we're careful about doors, gates, and anything a curious pup might get into. If your dog is crate-trained, we're happy to keep that routine going. We treat every dog like our own and send regular photo updates so you always know how they're doing.
“Great Communication with Megan & David for my 1st time leaving Jackson with a new Rover sitter. I was even welcomed to do a meet and greet that went well. It left me very comfortable leaving Jackson for 5 nights. I received pictures and updates on how he was adjusting. I have already set up some more stays for some trips I have planned. I highly recommend Megan & David for the care of your dog.”
“Finn left Holly’s worn out and with a new best friend! Getting pictures of Finn and Millie together made us feel so happy knowing he was having a good time while we were away. We will definitely be using Holly again!”
“She was very kind and attentive to our dog. I had to go on a long international trip, but she sent photos and updates the whole time. I definitely recommend her—thank you for your care.”
“Thank you so much you’re my best person ever that I found on Rover most people are just one and done for me because I’m very particular about my dog so thank you for the pictures and videos! You’re the best!”
“Michelle is the nicest pet sitter I never met before, she keep us updated with tons of photos every day and let us feel extremely safe when we are not close to my dog. My dog looks happy through out the stay and eat exactly what I told her to feed. Before she give my dog treats, she even texted us and asked us if it is okay to give him this and that. I would highly recommend her as your pet sitter no matter long or short stay.”
“Melissa and her family were very nice took excellent care of Zoe when we were away. She sent pictures and I could see that they were very kind to her and I loved that her young daughter was interacting with her also. Thank you again Melissa and I'd definitely ask again for you to take care of her next time.”
“Janet was fantastic, welcoming our dog into her home like family. She sent us pictures every day and our dog always looked happy and relaxed. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Janet again- it was so helpful to know our dog was safe, happy, and well cared for while we were away.”
“Sarah was great and my little girl doggy enjoyed playing with her little pups- also , I loved getting a video and a picture as well . I would definitely use her service again and recommend her as well.”
“Thank you Katie and your family for watching Finn this past weekend. I felt he was in safe hands the whole weekend as soon as he explored your fenced in backyard. I truly appreciated the pictures and video updates and know he had a great time play with your dogs as well. Thank you!”
About: I am an avid walker and would love to walk your dog for you! I love both short and long walks, whatever your needs may be. Medical student at UC My dog recently passed and am looking for ways to connect with dogs, often walk daily in obryonville and would love to take your dog with me :) I currently live in a secure apartment with multiple dog parks on the premise and walkable areas nearby. Apartment is roomy with enough space to take care of a fluffy friend!
“Michelle is very friendly, great with communication, and had a good approach to encouraging my shy dog to eat while I was away. Her experience and knowledge of pets shows. Thank you Michelle for taking such great care of Reese!”
“Caitlin and her husband did a wonderful job with Martin when we left the country for 6 days. When Martin first arrived at Caitlin’s home he had no desire to stay, but Caitlin’s husband was very patient with him and even allowed him to interact with their dog to make Martin feel comfortable before we left. When we picked Martin up you could tell he had so much fun with his new friends, and was very comfortable with Caitlin and her home. Caitlin kept us updated on how Martin was doing and sent pictures, which we looked forward to seeing when we were away from him. We have had other dog sitters and quickly made the decision that our dog would not return to thier home, but that was not the case with Caitlin and her husband. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a great dog sitter! They are top notch! We will definitely ask Caitlin and her husband to keep Martin in the future!”
“Nikki sent updates and pictures each day! Our pup typically takes awhile to settle into new places but Pepper felt comfortable and quickly adjusted to her normal routine! Would definitely recommend Nikki!!”
“This was our dog’s first stay with Paige and her family. I could tell from the daily pictures and updates that he had a wonderful time. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip without guilt or worry knowing he was having so much fun. Having the children to play with was really great! A lovely family, and I can’t thank them enough!”
“Heather was a great rover! She provided consistent updates and always looked like Mowgli was having a great time. Really appreciate all the help. Will reach out again the future. Thanks!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Nicole and her family was absolutely wonderful. We loved the videos and photos. It gave us such peace of mind knowing that Bella was well loved and was having a great time while we were away for the week.”
“Maddie was an incredible sitter. She was very knowledgable and provided pictures and updates throughout the day. There is a big backyard which was great for Chester to get some energy out. I would absolutely request to use her again!”

We were very satisfied with our dog's stay with Amanda, which we scheduled just a week before our trip. She is very experienced taking care of dogs, and her home is set up to put dogs at ease. Our dog is always a bit tentative with a new sitter, but quickly warmed up to Amanda. We appreciated Amanda's frequent photos and updates. We would be happy to have out dog stay with Amanda again.
Elisheba took great care of my two dogs! Usually my pups are timid when they first arrive at a new place, but as soon as we got to her house they were excited and started running around. Elisheba sent photo updates and was very communicative and responsive throughout the process.
We are not used to send our boy to a Pet sitter as we always travel with him. He tends to be very anxious (myself included) if he is not with us. This time we couldn't take Tedy with us and I had to find a pet sitter - I have to say that I couldn't be happier that I've found Johana - she is such a thoughtful, caring and always present pet sitter. She kept us updated with videos and pictures of our Tedy and she managed his anxiety just perfectly. I am glad I found her and we will be using her services in a future.
My introduction to ROVER was a very positive one. First of all, Shanta did a great job of communicating what we could expect and the services she provides. During the 5 days we were on vacation, I always knew I could call or text to see how our cat, Simon, was doing. In fact, she even sent us pictures of Simon during his stay. And when we needed to pick him up earlier than expected, Shanta was very accommodating. Overall, it was a good experience.
We were very happy with the level of care and communication that Taylor and Brian provided during Mellie's stay with them. They provided regular updates and pictures. It's clear that they love their dogs and that they extend that level of care to their guests. We would be extremely comfortable leaving Mellie with them in the future!
Siri was so amazing with my dog, Rooster (Roo)! She treated her just like her own and sent so many adorable pictures of them playing, snuggling, and running errands. She was also happy to keep Roo for an additional day when my flight was unexpectedly cancelled. I am so relieved to have found a wonderful local sitter and cannot recommend her enough!!

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
