“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.”

“Great communication! Sent lots of pictures and a couple videos. Made me feel like they were treating my dog like family. Loki got plenty of exercise and attention. Great people. Would book with them again!”

“Allison is wonderful! She was very communicative before and during Oz’s stay and was serious about understanding his routines and habits. We felt great knowing he was getting her full attention for walks, snuggles, and care! Highly recommend!!”

“Pam and her husband are the absolute best! We set up a meet and greet before our trip, and my dog instantly loved them both from the start. Pam asked great questions and took detailed notes about Jaxx’s care, so I knew he would be in great hands. And they sent wonderful pictures, videos, and updates throughout our entire trip. Jaxx had a great time and I didn’t have to worry at all while I was away. Thank you!!!”


“Erika took care of my two babies while I was traveling. Unfortunately, my previous dog sitter is no longer in the area, so I had to find a new sitter. Both my dogs are rescue dogs, so I always worry when they go to a new place. I had no need to worry. When we did our meet and greet, they did well. During the time they stayed with Erika she sent me pictures and updates regularly. There was a small issue with one who has a sensitive stomach and she immediately reached out to me to confirm how to handle. She was willing to give a probiotic every day, to keep my boy on his schedule. I appreciate all those details very much. It is such a relief to find a good honest person to take care of my pups when I need to be away. I will definitely use Erika again.”

“Justin was very responsive and kept me updated by sending photos of Mocha during his stay. My puppy has stayed with Justin multiple times, and I have never been disappointed. It’s clear that he and his son genuinely care about the dogs they watch. I highly recommend Justin and his son to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitters.”

“Fernanda and Bruno (and their little girl) were wonderful hosts for my 2 puppies. One is 3 months and the other is 9 months and I was worried leaving them so soon. Fernanda made me comfortable by sending photos and continually checking in. They were also put on some medications last week (awful timing to leave them) and she administered their medication and eased my nerves about the situation. This is my first time using rover and I’m so so grateful they were amazing to my pups!🐶”

“Carissa and her husband welcomed Sammy w open arms. She sent lots of pics and updates on how Sammy was settling in. It is clear how much they love dogs and underatand their unique personalities. Big back yard with lots of room to explore, dog buddies and a nice perch by a window, too! Perfect!”

“Brittany and her family cared for Zoe as if she was their own pup. I was able to enjoy my vacation trip because I knew she was in good, fun, safe, caring hands. They will be my go-to sitters without a doubt. Thank you.”


“We've had our dog, Jerry, stay with Dawn a few times and she continues to be WONDERFUL! She takes such great care of Jerry and we can tell Jerry loves staying with her! She sends daily updates and photos of our little guy so we can enjoy our vacation worry-free. Dawn is definitely our go-to person!”

“It is probably the best experience we had from Rover so far. They were great with Benji, he got plenty of attention and play which he needs! Also excellent updates with pics, we knew he was in good caring hands. Will definitely recommend and book again!”

“Kelly and Ben were absolutely wonderful with Paloma! We got lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Paloma was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. They were kind, communicative, and so easy to work with. We will definitely be booking with Kelly and Ben again! Highly recommend!”

“Ellen took amazing care of my dog, Spud! I got daily picture check-ins, and Spud clearly felt at home—she ate all her food, got to socialize with other dogs, and even lounged on the bed and pillows. It’s clear Ellen treats the dogs like family. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Everything was great from beginning to end! Ellie had a great time with Tom. He was flexible, communicative, and kept her active with lots of walks and play time. He sent the perfect amount of pictures and updates, and I know Ellie would be so excited to go back for future trips! Highly recommend!”


“Lori was amazing!!! She made me feel very comfortable with leaving Charlie with her. You can tell she enjoys animals and sent pictures of Charlie during her stay. We highly recommend and will be using her services again?”
“Rachel was awesome with my dog Griffey! She was great to work with. Very accommodating, responded quickly, and even sent some pics of Griff when out-and-about! I can tell he enjoyed his time in her care. If you’re looking for someone to trust with your furry friend, book Rachel! 💯 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”


“She and her daughter took great care of our pup. He loved them and seems to have had a great time on vacation from his parents. They took him on lots of walks, played with his favorite toys and gave him lots of love. Thank you so much for being a wonderful sitter to Prince.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverlea
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.
