“Andrew is so great to work with! He has taken very good care for our puppy while we we've been out of town on multiple occasions. Would highly recommend using him to care for your fur baby!”
“First time using the app in an emergency. Continued to provided updates during a timely manner with pics. Dog seemed happy and at peace . He had a great lil nap after pick up”
“Lauren and her family were wonderful with our two dogs. She was very communicative and kept us updated while we were on vacation. We enjoyed all the photos with the updates. I especially appreciate the care she took when their arthritis was acting up. We felt comfortable with the dogs in her care and their additional medical needs (medication).”
“Amber was a rockstar. We are always nervous to leave our senior chiweenie with anyone new because he is very skiddish. He opened up to Amber, and her family was patient as he took more time to become comfy around them. She took him on nice walks and followed the scheduled to a tee. We appreciate the constant communication and honesty Amber provided about Franklin during his stay. We will 100% book Amber again to care for our buddy.”
“Dawn and Rob were amazing! I appreciated their flexibility on a last minute booking and when my plane was delayed. I got many pictures and check ins throughout my doggos stay and had no doubt he was more than well taken care of ♥️”
“Dawn was incredible. From the warm welcome upon my last minute business trip in which Atticus couldn’t join. Dawn provided fresh chicken and daily walks and her updates were detailed and lovely. Such a wonderful experience. Will be back. Thank you!”
“Emily was nothing short of phenomenal. I was in a tough spot when my Australian Shepherd named Wendle came down with a cough that needed treated with antibiotics and steroids 2 days before I was scheduled to leave the country on vacation for 10 days. With the alternative being to leave him in isolation at boarding for the entire time or canceling the trip, I was scrambling to find a sitter last minute and we really lucked out connecting with Emily here. She was amazing with Wendle, treating him as her own and I know he loved every minute of his own vacation with her. Emily kept me updated with detailed messages and pictures of Wendle during my trip and had no issues with giving him his medication and taking him on walks and giving him all the attention he needed. I can’t thank her enough for taking in Wendle at the last minute and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter in the future.”
About: I’ve been in love with animals for as long as I can remember and started caring for them at an early age, from puppies to seniors. I have fostered and rescued many dogs and cats over the years, which has deepened my understanding of their needs. I have a very flexible schedule and able to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m available throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and any other care a pet may need. I’m also able to give pets plenty of attention and maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. I provide safe, attentive care by following routines, giving walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love while keeping pets comfortable in their own environment :)
“If you're looking for someone who will love your dog like their own, book Tianne! Monza is my whole world and Tianne made her feel so safe, happy, and right at home. The photo updates of her playing with the other pets and getting cozy by the fire were everything, it made my heart so warm knowing she was that loved and comfortable while I was away.💕 You can tell this is someone who genuinely adores animals. Thank you, Mrs. Tianne — we will definitely be booking with you again for anything Monza needs!”
“Stacey and her family’s home was a perfect stay for Moki Marie. She took walks and had lots of play time with the kids and snuggle time with the whole family. Plus, my feeding directions were followed which is important for Moki’s tummy. If you want your dog loved and cared for with extra attention, I highly recommend Stacey and Bruce and their family!!!! 🥰”
“Sara took excellent care of my Doberman puppy. She sent me several update of my dog every day including pictures and videos. I can tell she genuinely enjoys taking care of dogs. Give it a try!”
“Hayley did a phenomenal job! I highly recommend her. Our pup is like a kid to us so we were very nervous leaving her but instantly felt comfortable with Hayley and her family! Thank you a ton for watching our pup!”
“My dog had an amazing time playing with Paige’s dogs and her cat. They treated her like she was their own and sent many pictures to me, to see how she was going! Paige’s family is the best”
“Susanne and her family were amazing while watching our two dogs over a last-second weekend trip! Susanne was super communicative, send us updates and pictures, and I can tell the dogs had a great time while there. I would highly recommend Susanne for any dog watching needs!”
“Angela was great. This was our first time using this app and she was amazing. Very communicative, sent pictures and updates and even gave Frosty a bath. I would recommend and definitely return to Angela again. Frosty loved it!!”
“Michelle is fantastic! She is very professional and responded quickly on short notice over Christmas. She sent photos and kept us updated. Knowing she is a vet tech, gave us extra peace of mind he was in great hands and well cared for! Thank you!”
“I have to say that I really appreciate Rachel and her family and the way they have taken care of my daughter's dog Gunner when I leave him with them. It's difficult to leave him as he is pretty spoiled in terms of having his own bed and he also has a particular food he's needed to be on. This time he also had medication he needed to take on a regular basis. He always gets walked when he stays and Gunner also likes staying near Rachel. It's such a relief to know I can go out-of-town and have someone I trust care for him.”
“Brilyn was wonderful to work with and communication was great! She was very accommodating with our anxious girl. We will definitely be reaching out to Brilyn the next time we are in need of a sitter.”
“Rachel was amazing throughout our multi-day stay! She kept us updated with lots of pictures and took excellent care of our dog Maverick. He came home happy and healthy, with a couple new friends!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rome
She deserves 10 stars 🌟. Had the maturity to stand firm with Jazzy concerning her winning & separation anxiety. Took her on walks,car rides & Jazzy loved her so much she she let her play with her Cat n Hat stuffed animal her favorite no one touches that but me & her. Michele can now. Best experience I could have had with Rovers service & Michele. Will use her again. Thank U from my heart.
I’m so impressed with Brandon! They took such great care of my geriatric dog, and I loved receiving pictures and updates throughout the day. They were so kind, great communicators, and most importantly, took amazing care of my girl. Brandon’s two dogs are also so sweet and playful and they seemed to get along really well with my slow potato dog. Brandon was also super accommodating when my plans changed last minute. I’m so thankful they were available to care for my old lady while I was away. I felt confident knowing she was in good hands!
Ashley is absolutely amazing! She was my dog’s first longterm boarding experience and she was perfect. She, along with her family and her own dogs, treated my pup as if it were her own in all the best ways. She communicated daily with photos and videos over the 2 weeks that my dog stayed at her home. It left me feeling completely at ease during travel knowing that my pup was being treated like family with all the love and snuggles he’d normally be getting at home! I look forward to boarding with her again and can’t recommend her enough! 10/10!!
Coco was very well cared for while we were away for a week. She loved the backyard and the company of the family and their two other dogs. Will definitely use again. Extremely accommodating and flexible especially for a last minute request. Perfect for our old girl.

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 Rome 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 Rome.
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 Rome 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.
