About: i have taken care of animals since i was 10. i have always had an animal in my home and have helped tremendously take care of them! I have helped out family, friends and neighbors with their animals and looked over them while there not home!! i currently work part time, but will have so much time for your pets and will get off work if needed! I am available all weekends and most weekdays, depending on weeks. i have a cat and 4 dogs who are trained on leashes and a yard for them to play in. they love other dogs and would love another friend!
About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by animals including dogs, cats, chickens, and horses all the way to bunnies! With years of experience in pet sitting, I truly understand the unique needs of each pet and ensure they receive the love and care they deserve. Trust me to take care of your furry, feathered, and fluffy family members, where their happiness and well-being are always my top priority. With so many animals at the house, much of my day starts with taking care of all of them. Feedings, playtime, adventures, and more. We split the at-home responsibilities between me and my other half. It’s become so second nature we don’t even think about it anymore! I also have a very flexible full-time job that allows me to care for other people’s animals whenever needed. My other half also works from home so we have even more flexibility to know that someone is always able to look after our animals while I’m taking care of others. Taking care of animals is incredibly important to me and something I was raised on and we’re teaching these same responsibilities to our son as well. Currently, we have plenty of babies at home including three dogs, two cats, two bunnies, and chickens. Taking care of them is part of our family’s daily routine. It helps that we also have a fenced-in yard and no houses behind us so our pups are able to run and play in the yard as much as they want. I also have a very flexible full-time job that allows me to care for other people’s animals whenever needed. I’m very respectful of other’s homes and I’ll always make sure the animals well-being is a top priority.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I grew up in a home with 3 dogs at all times. We have had a range of small pups, and also big/high energy ones like golden retrievers and huskies! I did obedience classes and shows with my Yorkee Poo for 4 years. I have provided dog sitting for close family friends for many years now, including walks, feeding, bathing, transporting (for a dog breeder), and boarding. I also raised five husky puppies, so I have a lot of experience with young pups, too. Pet care fits really naturally into my weekly routine because I work from home while starting my own business, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins and walks any day of the week. I grew up with pets as a daily part of life, so caring for them feels familiar, natural, and genuinely fulfilling. Whenever I am caring for pets in a client's home, I make sure to follow any specific direction given by the pet owners. Whether that is s feeding schedule, regular walks, cuddles, or crating, I always make sure to understand a client's expectations and take care of their animals with the same love and care that they would.
About: I grew up around pets since before I can remember and I love hanging out with any animals! I love playing and cuddling with them! I am currently a third year at OSU home for the summer. I also work at 17 Public Square. I am open almost everyday all day besides when those shifts are scheduled. I have two medium size dogs that I play with often and are crate trained as well. Therefore I can play with them, give them breaks in their crates or anything else!
“Just wanted to say nothing but the best !!! Was a little nervous leaving my babies with someone i didn't know but Kerry made it easy not to worry went on a 3 day trip and my boys are a little shy and scared of people they dont know but by their second visit you couldn't tell the boys loved them. Would 100% have Kerry watch in on my boys on our next trip and future trips we take. Kerry you and your partner are the best ! Thank you for being so good to our boys !!!”
About: I have lived with dogs and cats my whole life and now have my own golden retriever(she is very sweet and well trained). I am home most hours of the days and have all the the time to give your pets their needs and attention! My job I’m working now I am fully in charge of my schedule. I choose when I want to go in the day off. I only work 4 hours 2 or 3 times a week. I have a big house and a big fenced yard. In my family I have two very friendly dogs that are well trained and one cat. I have a gate in front of my room to let my cat be alone and feel safe from the dogs.
About: I’m very attentive to each dog’s personality and routine. Whether your dog loves walks, playtime, or relaxing on the couch, I adapt to what makes them happiest. I always follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and house rules carefully. I do work a FT job during the week but my schedule is somewhat flexible depending on the situation. Weekends are very flexible - as long as I don’t have a prior commitment. I’m an experienced dog sitter who genuinely loves spending time with animals. I’ve cared for many dogs for friends, family, and repeat clients and recently joined Rover to expand my services. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.
“We are beyond pleased with the care and attention Madylon gave to our cat. She put our little Bells, normally a very skittish cat, at ease from the first visit. Highly recommend Madylon and will seek her out anytime we are on vacation. Thank you Madylon for taking wonderful care of our Bell!”
About: i’ve had plenty of experience with animals growing up, i’m getting more into training pups. so if that’s something you’re looking for please let me know. i’m very trustworthy, and enjoy spending time with animals. i work full time on overnights! that leaves me free during the day to check in or have a quick walk with your pup! i am very quick responding whether it’s day or night. i only do services outside of my home because i am not able to have pets in my apartment complex, i am able to take them to parks or walks around the neighborhood.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. Grew up with horses, dogs, cats, chickens, donkeys etc. I have always had a deep love for animals and truly enjoy being that trusted person with others fur babies. I truly see pets as family and treat them with the same care, patience, and respect I would give any person. I will treat your dog like family — because that’s exactly what they are. I currently have a very flexible schedule and would truly love to make caring for your fur baby a special part of my daily routine. I am available for dog walking or in-home care services. While I can’t bring pets into my home due to having a cat, I’m happy to care for them in the comfort of their own home. Being in a familiar environment often helps pets feel more relaxed and secure. I will follow your instructions closely and make sure your home, gates, and fencing are always secure while your pet is in my care.
About: Hey there! I’m Kristen. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was in elementary school! I have experience taking care of and owning small and large dog breeds, cats, and even farm animals like goats, pigs, turkeys and cows! I also worked at a local public alpaca farm, Majestic Meadows, and provided love, care and husbandry for a variety of exotic and farm animals, including horses, donkeys, alpacas, llamas, and more! I have experience working with animals who have special dietary needs, special medication needs, senior pets, and pets who have physical disabilities and need extra care and aid! I can brush your pet, clean their ears and teeth (if they will let me and it is safe to do so), and give them a simple bath if you would like! Lastly I do have experience in basic behavior training for dogs, including click/reward training to teach sitting, lay down, and release, however I am NOT a professional dog trainer and am not willing to sit for dogs that experience highly aggressive behaviors or biting towards new people. I am currently doing Rover full time, so I will have plenty of time for your pets needs and for playtime, and am able to make sure that bathroom breaks and meal/snack times are not spaced too far apart :) For house sitting I cannot stay full time around the clock as I often have doctors appointments I need to attend, so I may have to come and go, but I would not be gone for longer than 3-4 hours at any given time, so if your fur baby can be alone for 3-4 hours, then I can accommodate for that 😊 I make sure to closely follow any given instructions for pet care, including instructions for a special diet or medications, and if the pet needs any special needs care or aid with grooming! I like to go over the details with clients of how their pet may like to play, how they get along with other animals/people, how they like to be pet, how they do on walks, what their favorite snacks are, and of course any special needs such as oral medications, special dietary needs, etc… to make sure that I am offering the highest quality of care and comfortability for their fur baby! I also make sure to pay close attention to timing between meals, snacks and potty breaks so their pets don’t become uncomfortable or have any accidents. Lastly, I make sure to give lots of love and attention to their pet so they don’t feel lonely!
About: I took care of both a cat and a dog my entire childhood. I currently have 2 pets, a leopard gecko (8 years), and a lab/pitt/beagle mix (4 years). I also look after a beagle quite often where I do my housekeeping! I absolutely love animals, of all kinds, and it would be my pleasure to help you out when needed! I do currently work a lot, but am almost always free in the mornings and a few afternoons as well! My schedule is also pretty flexible, for I'm in control of almost every bit of my scheduling, so I'm confident we can make something coincide! I adore all of my pets and everyone else's pets as well! I treat every animal as though it's mine, with love, care, and patience. I will never yell at, nor butt tap, your pup, for I have a very HIGH level of tolerance with animals (even for all of those hyper road runners lol). I looove playing with dogs and I hope I have the chance to meet yours!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Rittman stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Rittman choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Rittman with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
