“Lauren and her family took Doug in as if he was their own. I recieved updates and plenty of pictures of Doug playing with their puppy Cinder, who is an absolute sweetheart. There is absolutely no doubt that I will be booking with Lauren and her family again.”
“Reggie spent an entire week with John, Shannon and their family! He had so much fun that I was afraid he would be depressed when he got home!! Daily walks, lots of fetch, played well with their dog and others that were there. We had multiple daily updates and pictures. Truly very thankful for the care he received. They treated him like their own and made us feel so comfortable while we were gone. Can't thank you all enough! We will definitely reach out the next time we are out of town!!”
“We could not be more pleased than to have Sally as our permanent Rover Gal! She kept us updated with photos at least twice a day and was just fantastic with Herbie. He felt at home there. We will be repeat customers with Sally.”
“Dianne and Mackenzie were great dog sitters. They picked him up at my house when the snow was over a foot deep, and dropped him off. They sent pics every day several times a day, and Sammie looked so happy! They brushed him a lot, and insisted that they give him their own treats that I didn’t need to bring my own. They were very communicative and it seemed like sammie got along with their dog and was doing very well over there. Id definitely use them again! So glad I found them last minute before my surgery. Thanks again!”
“Emily was wonderful. My doodle has some anxiety about new places. From the pictures Emily sent she looked completely relaxed and comfortable! I appreciate the communication throughout the time we were gone.”
“Megan and Jay are amazing! They’re so thoughtful, warmhearted, and truly wonderful people. They took such great care of Malie, and she felt right at home with them. Their boys were fantastic with her—playing and keeping her entertained. I loved receiving daily photo updates from Megan, and it was clear how happy Malie was during her stay. She came home happy, loved, and well cared for. 😊 I’m already looking forward to her next stay with them! Thank you Megan, Jay and the boys!”
“Carly was amazing with our pup, Sunny! She was attentive, kind, supportive and flexible to fit her needs, and she sent us lots of updates which we loved. I would highly recommend Carly!!”
“Jasmine took care of our puppy like her own, and kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring boarding services.”
“So glad that I found Angela! Leonard, my dachshund, had a ball. We are working to socialize him, and Angela provided him with opportunities to walk and play with a friend. Leonard has separation anxiety, and I am just starting to leave him with sitters. Angela is great. On pickup, I think Leonard was hoping that I was there to stay and join the fun!”
“Pam is amazing! Took notes about our dog during an initial meeting, sent us pictures and videos with a daily update while we were gone for a week, and you can tell she and her husband really love dogs. Super nice person and very responsive!”
“Andrew and his family were very welcoming to Dolly, and they sent an update during our trip so we knew she was adjusting. At pick up it was easy to tell that she had become one of the gang. We would recommend Andrew to care for your pet!”
“This was our first time leaving Poppy with Molly. We felt very comfortable leaving Poppy with her. She was kind and understanding of all of Poppy’s needs. Molly responded quickly whenever we had a question. She will be our go to whenever we need care for Poppy again.”
“Ashley was easy to work with and it is clear she loves dog sitting. Chip was readily welcomed into her home and loved playing with her pup and other dogs she was watching at the time. She’s really flexible and accommodating. We hope to use her boarding services again!”
“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.”
“Camille and Josh made Waffles feel like part of the family immediately when he arrived. All of their kiddos were amazing with our dog who usually isn’t around kids and he loved hanging out with them all day. We would definitely book them again!”
“Karl has cared for Zuzu twice in 2 weeks for us. He is great about communicating how each day is going. Zuzu has come home in great spirits and very tired. She clearly is getting the exercise that she needs as well as being loved as much as she does at home. He has given us some tips and tricks for her over excitement when out for walks and other behaviors that we have been working on. Thank you Karl. We will definitely be using you in the future ?”
“We’ve never left our dog with anyone outside the family, but I’m pretty convinced that Ellie felt like Rachel and Jeff WERE family after a week there. There are no words for how grateful we are for their excellent care! She was happy, comfortable, and loved on (I know from the pictures!), and I’m not sure she actually wanted to come back home! I sort of hate to so highly recommend Rachel and Jeff in case they get too booked up to watch Ellie again, but it’s a risk I’m willing to take. We drove more than an hour to them, and after this experience, I’d have driven six. They were wonderful with Ellie but even more lovely as people. I wish I could give more than five stars, because they deserve it!”
“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!”
“I booked Lauren for the second time, and once again she was amazing! She takes such great care of my Xena and really caters to her needs, especially when it comes to food and routines. I love that she sends plenty of updates throughout the visit, it gives me so much peace of mind. She’s professional, attentive, and genuinely cares. I absolutely love her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
“Our Dog had a great time at Rayann’s. He clearly had gotten to play and be outside a lot and was not left unattended for too long. Rayann was also flexible on drop off and pick up as changes in our plans came along”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverlea
Dianne and Mackenzie took great care of our dog, Cali, for two weeks while we were on vacation. They sent several pictures and updates daily, took Cali to the park with their dog, let her slept in their bed and treated her like their own. We could tell Cali had a great time at their house while we were away. We would definitely book Dianne again in the future!
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.
Carly and Alexxa watched our dog Oliver for our wedding, and we could not be happier with how it went! We have a pretty shy, timid dog that usually takes awhile to warm up to people, but they made him feel comfortable right away and it looked like he was having the best time!! They were INCREDIBLE about sending pictures, and even dressed him up with a note to wish us a happy wedding day :) 100000/10 recommend! Thank you again!
Abbie was the best! We booked her to stay at our house from Friday to Friday and throughout the stay was very communicative, sent lots of photos throughout the stay, gave our dog his meds, and we could tell our dog was happy when we got home. On days she had to work during our dog’s regular potty breaks, she not only let us know but offered someone who could help with those potty break times (our neighbors came a couple times instead but we sincerely appreciated that she had those times covered). When our flight home was cancelled and we had to take 3 flights (through 3 countries) home, she was ready to stay another night just in case and stayed super late to make sure Paul was taken care of. Could not recommend her more!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
