“Allison was super accommodating and responsive on late notice watching our Kona for us! She sent many updates and worked with our schedule. Fenced in back yard for the dogs to run around safely as well! Highly recommend! Thank you Allison!”
“Sally was so great with my pup Marge. I have a really hard time finding people I trust with her, as she is a bit reactive and can be a little mischevious ? Marge was so excited to go back to her house, and Sally kept me informed with updates all throughout the day that brightened my work day. I’d definitely recommend her!”
About: Welcome to my profile! My name is Emily. I am a wife, a pediatric nurse & newly a mom to a beautiful baby girl. I also have two silly cats named Greta & Beatrice. My life has always involved animals. I grew up with several cats & dogs in my home and love both of them! I am reliable, attentive, and treat every pet with the same care I would give my own. I have hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets who need medication or extra attention. I stick to your routines, watch for the little details, and keep you in the loop with updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy. Hope to hear from you soon & work closely with you and your fur baby! I’m currently on maternity leave with my new baby girl! When I return to work at the hospital in September it will be very part time, so I will have plenty of time to walk, watch or check in on your pets! I am able to be flexible with you & your pets routine! I am happy to come to your home to check in on your pets or walk your dog!
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life. I have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had a golden doodle named Gracie whom we loved. After she passed, we were asked to take care of a local school’s facility dog named Lucy. We have had her for 5 years now. She is the absolute best! I grew up taking care of my neighbors cat while they would go on vacations. When I got to college, my sister got a kitten that my friends were naturally obsessed with. Every minute was spent with him. A couple years later, my roommate got a cat named Tony who we took care of as a house. I am a lover of all animals! No request is too crazy for an animal. I will treat your furry family as if it were my own! I currently work from home, so taking pets for walks or drop in visits during my lunch are super easy for me! Most of my days are spent in front of computers so it is nice to spend some time with furry friends. I follow your pet’s routine closely! That includes feeding, playtime, walks, and medications. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, while keeping your home clean and providing updates for peace of mind.
“Rachel was wonderful! She helped me with a last minute day care situation and she was extremely flexible and very quick to respond. She went out of her way to run her errands the day I contacted her so she would be able to stay home all day with my dog......on a Holiday. She provided me with pictures and updates throughout the day and was very caring for my dog. My dog has diabetes and she understood the nature of a diabetic dog. I was very glad to choose Rachel to take care of Boomer and will definitely contact her again when I am in the area. Rachel is very friendly and I would recommend her to my friends.”
“Kelsey is consistent, reliable, and wonderful with Luna. I had a last minute request for daycare and she was extremely responsive and helpful. Luna loves Kelsey and her sweet dog Kitana.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly love caring for them! I’ve had dogs my whole life and am currently a proud cat stepdad. I’ll provide your pet with attentive, personalized care and a comfortable, welcoming stay while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for—and to give you peace of mind until you’re back together. I'm currently working from home with a lot of flexibility to walk or plays with your pet. I am currently available around the clock to board. I have a fenced in yard, and would also be able to take dogs outside on a leash with full supervision. I am open to board at my house, or house sit if preferred.
“Our dogs had a wonderful time with Kevin! They enjoyed a walk and playtime in the backyard. They came home happy and tired. Kevin communicated well and even sent us pictures. It was great not worrying about our dogs while we were away. 💯 would recommend Kevin!”
“Thomas took great care of my pup and he had a great time. Thomas sent plenty of updates and was very communicative and quick to respond. I could tell when I picked my dog up that he had not felt stressed or anxious, which is a huge relief.”
“Our dog can be nervous around new people, but Laken got down on the floor with her and snuggled to make her comfortable. She had her two small dogs who played well with ours. She has a fenced yard and our dog enjoyed running around. We felt like she received good care and looked very comfortable when we picked her up.”
“Latisha is an incredible sitter and went above and beyond in a way that I can’t even begin to mention in a tiny review on this website. I am forever grateful to have found her to watch my baby boy.”
“Lorie is a wonderful pet sitter! She is very flexible with drop off and pick up times, and she is so thoughtful about the dogs in her home and how they get along with one another. Her daughter is so sweet and our Murphy loved playing with her! Lorie takes great care of our puppy and is even helping to teach him to go down stairs! She really knows what she’s doing, is a great communicator, and has a loving home (and great yard!) for the dogs. Murphy loves it there and it is a huge relief not to worry about him while I’m away, because I know Lorie is taking good care of him!”
“Yoniray and family have been great with my dog, a little Havanese. She took pictures and sent them through rover. I can tell he was given a lot of love during the stay!”

Calling Anna patient is an UNDERSTATEMENT. We have such a hyper active puppy and she spent 10 hours with him, i literally don’t even know how haha. My puppy LOVED her dog Loki, they were besties for the day!! Anna sent SO many pics today and updates. This was my first using rover or even someone else watching my Milo and Anna put my at so much ease. 10/10 would recommend, don’t hesitate to book with her!! If I had more time I’d continue to rant and rave about her, that’s how amazing of a day my puppy had!! He got so much running yard time he slept like a baby when we got him home. Love Anna!! ❤️
A Wonderful Experience for Panda! Dan was absolutely amazing with my puppy, Panda! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt comfortable knowing he was in great hands. Dan took such great care of him, sent me pictures throughout the day, and even took Panda on runs so he could get plenty of exercise and have a great time. The sweetest part is that Panda really found a new best friend in Dan — or as I like to say, his new bear friend! 🐻❤️ You can tell Dan genuinely cares about the dogs and goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy, safe, and well cared for. Thank you, Dan, for treating Panda like one of your own. We truly appreciate you, and Panda can't wait to see his new friend again! 🐾❤️ Highly recommend Dan to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their fur baby!
Our two boxers just stayed with Kevin for a full day of daycare & we were very happy with their stay. Kevin was flexible with the drop off/pick up & kept us updated throughout the day with pictures. Both pups came back nice & tired from playing in his back yard & going on walks.
Camille and Joshua did a great job taking care of Thunder! They walked him and sent photos and updates daily. I could tell Thunder had a great time at their house. He’d wag his tail when I asked him if he wanted to go over to play with Johnny and the children. I would definitely ask them to help watch Thunder again!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Riverlea commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
