“Lauren is absolutely wonderful! Her kind and caring nature shows through in the way she cares for our pups. Lauren is very detailed oriented, giving a report on how our pups got along with her dog and each other, what they ate, if they rested. We feel very blessed to have Lauren to help us care for our fur family.”
“This AMAZING family took care of our dog while we were on vacation. We had plenty of updates and photos. I was honestly surprised Bella wanted to leave! We will be using their services every time we need a sitter. Thank you so much for loving and caring for Bella!”
“Andrew and his family took great care of Luna. She seems to have settled in quickly with his family of people and pups and came home happy. Would absolutely book with him again.”
“So nice to know my pup had a family to love him while I was away. Jasmine was great - super responsive and flexible with drop off/pickup pending flight schedules. Strongly recommend!”
“Meleah is an awesome sitter. She took care of our older dog, JoonBug, (which is not easy!) and JoonBug came back in excellent shape! We can tell she was loved on too while we were gone. I would recommend Meleah to anyone!”
“Yasmin and Syed are amazing. They treated our dog like she was their own. They played with her, followed all feeding and treat instructions to a T, and just generally spoiled her. Yasmin was easy to communicate with, and sent updates with pictures throughout the stay. She is our first choice from now on.”
“Camille was amazing! Great communication the whole time, sent lots of pictures, and really made us feel comfortable being away! Would definitely recommend her for watching your pets!”
“Kassi is great! Our puppy had a great time staying with her, loved running in her back yard and taking a nice walk around the neighborhood, and enjoyed cuddling on the couch. It is nice to be able to leave your pup in such a caring environment!”
“Mary has watched my fur baby Lady twice, and she is a fantastic sitter. Very warm and caring, Lady immediately took to her, FooFoo and Ellie(forgive me if I misspelled their names). Will definitely use Mary again.”
“I appreciated that the pictures I received were actual interactions with Bethany, rather than "the dog is alive" pictures. Also, she held tough with the feeding instructions and the little beggar actually lost some weight.”
“Angie was wonderful with our one year old mini bernedoodle Reggie. This was only the second time he stayed in someone’s house and the first time with Angie ! She’s a happy, very positive person and gave Reggie lots of TLC while we were away. She also had to administer pills to him and she wasn’t bothered by that at all. We plan to use her services again in January 2026.”
“We found a treasure when we asked Kelly and Ben to help watch our dog while we were out of town! They love that she wanted to meet our Daisy before we made the final arrangements. That gave us such peace of mind. Our pup walked into their beautiful home, and she instantly felt comfortable. Their home is warm and gave us a feeling that our dog would be so well loved while we had to be out of town. Kelly also showed how much she cared and how knowledgeable she is by asking all the right questions and loving on Daisy like she was already a part of their family. Communication was terrific too! We received pictures throughout the weekend of Daisy on walks and being her sweet and silly self with Kelly’s family too! We are so happy with the experience that we already scheduled another time out of town - knowing that our Daisy girl will be totally spoiled and cared for while we are gone. Thank you to Kelly and her family for loving our dog like we do!❤️”
“Laura did an AMAZING job with my two kittens! She came in clutch for me last minute, & provided the best care possible. She is somebody I will 100% reccomend & come back to in the future!☺️”
“Tom and his family took such great care of my dog, Peaches. He provided so many photos and treated her like his own dog. I will definitely entrust him to care for her again!”
“Our boys were so well taken care of and accepted as members of the family. We received regular pics and notes about our digs that allowed us to stay connected but be assured they were happy. The home was clean and super dog friendly. We would definitely hire again !”
“Jeffrey and Jessica were wonderful hosts! They were very communicative during my pets stay and sent photos and updates. Cute house with fenced in yard made me comfortable leaving my dog in their care.”
“Our dogs were well taken care of by Lori. She sent us pictures everyday. She even gave our dog a bath the day we were picking up. Thank you for making our vacation stress free.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverlea
Laura was the ideal person to watch our 12 year old red tick coon hound for a month while we were on an extended holiday. We knew from the moment we met her that she loves dogs, is a kind person, and has a wonderful comfortable home for a sit. It's not easy leaving our pet baby behind, but Laura made us feel confident that she would be well cared for, and it was clear that our dog was genuinely bonded to her by the time we returned. Her communications were frequent and detailed with pictures of her enjoying life while we were away. She's a top notch person that I would recommend to anyone needing a short or longer term sitter. Thank you Laura!
Kassi was great with my 2 dogs. One a puppy of 8 months and one an 11 year old with some joint issues and reactivity with some other dogs. She kept in contact with me the whole time and texted photos how they were doing. I would highly recommend Kassi and plan to work with her if I need a sitter in future. The dogs were comfortable from the start!
Carly was amazing. Zeke is normally shy but as soon as Zeke met her he was already starting to feel comfortable, Couldn't ask for a better babysitter. From Pics, answering questions, flexible, making sure Zeke was well taken care of and comfortable. Zeke had so much fun running around the fenced yard, playing fetch and sleeping in the bed. Carly even gave us a report card on Zeke's stay, it was so cute. I will recommend her to anyone needing a babysitter.
Lauren was unbelievable ! So kind, so attentive and accommodating, so communicative , so clean. .went above and beyond with my dog. I could tell they are pros at caring for dogs and do it often. I would definitely use them again if they would have my bernadoodle back. Thanks again!
They have been watching lyrics for about eight months now and when I say I do not think there is no other babysitter that is great for my dog besides these two people right here they constantly carrying and watching over your dog and sending pictures every so often videos. very communicative, I highly recommend them to any dog any owner.
Just can’t say enough good about Allison. She was exceptionally great with photos and communication during my five day trip. I always knew my Sheltie was safe and happy. Allison is both professional and kind, and I will absolutely continue to have her as my go-to dog sitter.
Anna was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and I was nervous but Anna made it seamless! We organized a meet up so our pups could meet her dog Loki which put us at ease. Anna sent great updates and pictures all weekend so we never had to worry what they were up to! Would definitely recommend her to anyone and we will absolutely book with Anna again!
Our experience was great with Miss Erika and family. Daily progress reports and pics were sent. They're very empathetic and experienced sitters that even bathed Chop upon request. For the price, I don't know any sitters could be any more pleased with. Id recommend Miss Erika and company to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable sitter. Juan.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Riverlea 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 Riverlea.
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 Riverlea 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.
