“Geniya was fantastic, I felt safe and good about leaving my Hemi & Daisy with her. She sent updates and pictures which I appreciated . I would definitely have her watch my two again.”
“Dipika is amazing! My senior pup has separation anxiety, but she feels right at home with Dipika. I feel so much better going out of town knowing that I have left my pup who loves her as much as I do. Dipika is reliable, flexible, and responsive! I cannot recommend her enough - she is my go to and favorite dog sitter!!!”
“Tammy was wonderful, she was very friendly and gave me a heads up on what she did and what to expect. She was super with Tpmi, he seems to be comfortable around her. She has a lovely home, and very clean, and she was very professional. Tammy had sent me pictures and updates on Tomi's, which was very helpful since it was my first time leaving my dog. I would use her service again. Thank you Tammy for taking good care of my dog while I was away!”
“Dorothy was great! Quick response to a last minute request and followed instructions for my anxious doggo. Transparent, good communication, and sent pictures and updates periodically as well. Would recommend her to anyone and would definitely book with her again.”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful. We had to go out of town unexpectedly due to a death in the family and could not find a sitter on such short notice. Emily was so understanding and willing to help that we felt so comfortable after meeting her our Marley would be well taken care of. Highly recommend her!”
“Morgan did a fantastic job watching our little Theo. She was extremely responsive and communicative - providing numerous updates and photos throughout his stay. Would highly recommend Morgan for any pet sitting needs!”
About: House sitting has been something I have done for over 5 years now. From family friends to friend of a friend, and even through social media, I enjoy meeting new people and loving on their animals! I live with 1 dog and LOVE her very much. So caring for someone else animals is just as important. I have also done drop ins when families are gone for a long day and take the dogs out for nature walks, or just an afternoon in the backyard. I am very aware when it comes to animals needs and emotions, having grown up with multiple dogs at a time. Dogs are a big part of my life and I would love to meet yours to build another doggy friendship :) I currently work part time - Wednesday and Thursday. I am at home with my 2 daughters during the week and they will join me on any day walks or drop ins :) I have years of experience with different types of dogs (breeds, temperament, size etc.) and I have never come across an animal that I felt I was unable to care for.
“Haley was awesome! Everything listed on her profile is accurate. Our Bailey had a great stay with Haley and her pups. Bailey was there less than 24 hours, but Haley sent us several pictures of her and provided an update of how the stay was going. I would absolutely recommend her and look forward to booking with her again!!”
“Amani took great care of our girls while we were away. Amani kept us up to date with pictures, videos and messages. She followed all of our care instructions. The girls loved running and exploring in her large fenced yard! The girls were worn out from all the playtime they got and crashed when they got home. We would definitely recommend Amani to care for your pets!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Kathryn and her family (especially T), gave me complete peace while I was away. I received photos and updates everyday. Bean was clearly well taken care of! I highly recommend Kathryn to anyone looking for someone caring, dependable and wonderful with animals!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly see them as family. I love caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have had four dogs of my own. I also love cats and have experience caring for them, including diabetic cats and dogs, as well as pets with other medical needs. Whether your pet wants to play, cuddle, go for a walk, or just have someone to keep them company, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they’re safe, loved, and getting the best care while you’re away. Available for boardings all week and every other weekend! I work two days a week so my schedule shifts every week. Can always make a fit !! I’m in an apartment but I can take your pet outside for walks. Still having fun in the house and cuddles! Have two cats if they get along with other animals.
“Daisy is amazing. I appreciate the communication from beginning to end. I love the photos and videos that were sent every day ensuring me my lil phoenyx was enjoying himself while in her care. Daisy is very responsive and accommodating. I was extremely grateful to find Daisy at the last minute. While this was my first time ever booking within rover.com, Daisy made it an easy and effortless process. I am glad to say that I will be booking again during my next visit to Ohio.”
“Noah and Cheryl responded in minutes when we were desperate to get a sitter last minute for the holidays. They took great care of him, and he had an amazing time with their three dogs! We highly recommend them for boarding your dog.”
“Chris and his family took great care of my dog when my initial plans for boarding fell through at the last minute. I received daily updates and pictures. I can tell they treated my baby very well. I am extremely appreciative, and will be booking again.”
About: I have always cared for my friends animals when they are traveling and I also have had my cat Nola for 5 years. I’m also familiar with animals having anxiety and how to care for them by creating a routine that’s safe and fun. I have an open schedule currently so I’m open to flexibility during the day and some afternoons. I’m on break from my Masters program so my time is pretty open. I would make sure that any special needs your sweet baby needs is taken care of with extreme amount of love and care. I understand how important it is to be gentle especially when meeting new pets who might have anxiety.
“Holly really put me at ease when watching my small fluff ball. This was the first time I let someone other than my family watch her and I was happy to know she was fine with all of the picture updates I was recieving. She really felt like a part of Holly's dog pack and came home to us after three days exhausted. I'm sure she spent the whole time running around with all of their dog toys instead of her own I brought (lol). Not to mention, Hazel was in heat with her cute diapers on 24/7 and it was no problem for Holly. I highly recommend her and will be using Holly for future boarding stays :)”
“Daniel and Lauren were phenomenal with Kennedy. This is her second stay with them and she loved it. Kennedy had an ear surgery a few days before her stay and Lauren and Daniel were great with giving her meds and caring for her. Highly recommend them!”

Kyri was fantastic taking care of my big boy, Prince, while we were on vacation. Prince had never been looked after by anyone other than my wife and i, and my parents. It is a huge relief knowing that there is someone else i can go to when i need someone to look after him. Kyri sent videos/pictures every day of my vacation with updates, and she and her family were very kind and caring. You won't be disappointed choosing her! Highly recommend!
I was away for 8 days and loved seeing Teddy happily running and playing in Katherine’s fenced in backyard! Teddy loved playing with Katherine’s pets. She even gave her real chicken! Since we have returned home, Teddy is so calm and happy. I know that this is because she was treated so well at Katherine’s house! 🐶❤️☺️
Karen was fantastic! My dogs, two larger breeds, enjoyed hanging out with her and the other dogs and got lots of outside time. I got pictures of my pups several times a day and she gave them rotisserie chicken with their meals. If I need my dogs watched again, I will definitely go back to her inbox!
Nate and Whitney are great and their girls are super sweet. Artemis felt right at home, as was evident by the regular photos I received. Communication was easy and if there were any concerns they were immediately addressed. I have already booked them again to watch my pup.
We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience with Jacob. We were pretty nervous about leaving Reina since she’s a rescue and can be a little anxious around new people, but Jacob immediately put us at ease. He took the time to meet with us beforehand, asked thoughtful questions, and even took notes about Reina’s routine, what she likes, and her do’s and don’ts. It was obvious he genuinely cared about making her feel comfortable. While we were away, he kept us updated with plenty of pictures and communicated with us consistently, which made a huge difference and allowed us to actually relax on our trip. Every update showed us that Reina was being well cared for and getting lots of attention. If you’re looking for someone who is patient, communicative, and truly cares about your dog, we highly recommend Jacob. We’ll absolutely be booking with him again. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl!
Juneau had a GREAT time with Pietro & his 2 dogs. He really enjoyed the continuation of his daily walks we provide at home. Pietro sent photos of Juneau getting exercise and relaxing. He looked very comfortable in his temporary home while we were on vacation. Thanks for taking such care of him!

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 .
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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
