“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 had a great experience— super communicative and flexible, with lots of photos and check-in’s so that I knew that everything was going ok. I appreciate the effort that went into helping my Eddie feel comfortable and confident in the new space!”
“we’re very happy with our experience! our dog was well cared for and comfortable. kristie sent frequent updates, which was nice. we would definitely rebook!”
“We had a family medical appointment that was out of town. Our usual sitter was out of town and our back up was full. Breanne responded quickly to my questions and was able to watch my boys. The home had a fenced yard where they could run around and the boys had 2 dogs to play with. When we picked them up, both boys were exhausted to the point they slept for the rest of the day. On top of that, I didn’t realize I booked an extra day. She made sure to contact rover and adjust the reservation so that I would not get charged another night. Thank you for making a very stressful situation better. But on top of that she sent pics of the boys, so I knew they were in good hands!”
“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!”
“Lisa took great care of Lulu. It usually takes her a few days to bounce back to normal after boarding, but after the week with Lisa she was her normal self right away. Eating, sleeping and playing like her normal self. Lisa was also great about communicating with us during Lulu’s stay with her. Will definitely book with Lisa again.”
“Madison was just OUTSTANDING!! Given last minute notice she took in our 5 month old “Zumi” as we were transitioning moving from Hawai’i to Ohio. Madison sent daily pics of Zumi and took such great care of her!! Will recommend her to anyone and if needs be we’ll definitely be requesting her for any or future dog sitting!! Thank you again Madison!!!”
“Rosie had a great week! Jennifer was very accommodating and kept in touch daily. She even showed my kids around the farm. This was the first time leaving our dog and we were a little nervous, but everything went great!”
About: I love dogs.I grew up with dogs.I’m kind, patient, gentle, and caring.We have a 2 y.o.Lhasa Apso. I hope to see your fur baby soon!! I am home more frequently at the moment. I have time to care for pets. Plenty of time. To play , walk, and board fur babies. Zola is on a potty schedule which works great. She is walking on a retractable leach twice a day and often times plays ,sleeps, etc in my room or throughout the house. She eats typically 3 times a day, more is she likes.
“Thanks, Paul AND Penny, Chloe came home a very relaxed and happy dog. She even ate her entire bowl of salmon and rice (and then some vegies) later that evening and ate it again yesterday and today. Thanks for taking such good care of her!”
About: Growing up, my family has never not had a dog. I come from a family of dog lovers! I have experience with Rottweilers to Chihuahuas. I’ve always had a passion for animals and volunteer my time as a board member of Montana Pittie Project. My dog is my child and I will treat yours like it’s my baby as well! I also have experience taking care of special needs dogs, my dog that passed the rainbow bridge in August of 2022 was special needs himself. I have fostered multiple dogs while working in rescue and have experience with many different dog personalities and needs. I love sending photo updates to keep your mind at ease while you’re away. Feel free to ask me any questions! Currently I work one day a week at a barbershop and do real estate part time! I spend a lot of time at home so if you’re worried about your dog being alone they won’t be alone for long periods at all. I do have a fenced in yard private yard. Currently I spent a lot of time at home and I take my dog on walks around the neighborhood. Stella has way more toys than any dog could need although she has little interest in them, and likes watching tv so I leave a nature show on for her when I leave the house. She’s a good girl. We also have a senior girl Mastiff named Alloy that does really nothing but lounge around! She’s very easy going.
“Mark is a caring and loving provider for our Robby. He has spent the last month with Mark and is happy to be home. No issues during his stay and wonderful photos shared. We would use Mark again anytime.”
About: Hello! I’m Monica and I am a stay at home mom ready to cuddle and play with your dog(s). I am ready to treat your dog(s) as one of my own. My schedule will allow me plenty of time to meet all the needs of your pets. I am also an avid walker and if your dog likes to go on walks, I have a great neighborhood to explore. I have always been an animal lover. I attended Michigan State University to become a veterinarian. During a veterinarian club meeting I was introduced to the profession of veterinary technicians and knew that that was my calling. I was most excited about being able to provide more hands on care of the animals (administering medications, tending to hospitalized patients, walking the dogs, etc). After graduating, I worked as a vet tech for 7 years and frequently provided petsitting services on the side, mostly staying the night at clients houses. After I became pregnant with my first child I chose to be a stay at home mom and paused petsitting. Now that my children are older, more responsible, and in school, I am ready to get back to petsitting. I am happy to also provide petsitting services in your home including drop ins, walking, and overnight stays. I am a stay at home mom so I have lots of time to play and cuddle your baby and meet his or her special needs. I own my home and have a fully fenced in large back yard. If your dog prefers a crate when left in the home or at nighttime, I ask that you bring that with you along with their food. My dog will be crated if I have to leave the house to run an errand or take my kids to an appointment. I will ask for a meet and greet prior to the dates of the petsitting service so that I can make sure that your dog feels comfortable with me and with my dog.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
98% of sitters in Risingsun 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 Risingsun 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 Risingsun.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Risingsun. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Risingsun 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
