“I felt great about Oscar staying with Chelsea & her family. She sent me daily updates & pictures of all the adventures Oscar went on. I really appreciate her caring so well for him. It makes a Momma's heart happy. I would definitely use Chelsea again. TYSM!!”
About: We’re big dog people and absolutely believe that pets are family. We have our own dog and have loved caring for the dogs of family and friends over the years. We also use Rover ourselves, so we know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust to take care of your pet. We want to provide that same feeling of love, care, and peace of mind for other pet parents. Our goal is for your pup to feel happy, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away! 🐾❤️ My husband and I both work full-time, but I’m a teacher, so I have more flexibility during the summer and school breaks. We’re also available most evenings and weekends throughout the year. We love spending time with dogs and are happy to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. We’ll work with your schedule to make sure your dog gets the care and attention they need while you’re away. We want every pup in our care to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. We have a fenced-in yard and our own friendly dog who loves having company! We’re happy to keep your pup’s normal routine, whether that means specific feeding times, walks, crate time, or anything else that helps them feel comfortable. We’re also happy to meet beforehand so you and your pup can get to know us and make sure it feels like a good fit. As Rover users ourselves, we know how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pet. Pets are family to us, and we want you to feel that same love and peace of mind while your pup is with us. We’ll keep you updated with lots of pictures along the way, too! 🐶❤️
“My relaxing vacation plans began to snowball into a stressful mess with flight delays. Then my cat went from being an older girl with a basic boarding stay and 1 medication to developing a new medical condition about four days before I was due to leave, which would require MULTIPLE medications, possibly at 3 times a day. I would have completely understood if he decided he was no longer comfortable taking her, and suggest medical boarding at a vet facility instead. But Allan was flexible, dependable, and professional through all of it. He tolerated my neuroses wth a color coded schedule. He communicated with my vet at the phone check ins, and thankfully my girl was able to stay at mild doses and with low frequency of her new medications. He made her feel loved, made sure to give her plenty of cat tv time, integrated her into his home slowly and perfectly with the rest of his pack so she didn’t have to stay in 1 room. He kept in communication with me for anything she might need, any food or treat preferences for me to send via Amazon or Chewy, and sent wonderful photos. I have no doubt the reason she remained stable was because he has such a calm, loving house. And I do sincerely believe he’s a large part of why even months later I still have her with me, happy and healthy. Boarding with him is worth its weight in gold.”
“Amazing sitter! She took our two dogs into her home and treated them as if they were her own. She sent videos and photos daily. She was just amazing! I will only use her!”
“Jayden and his family were absolutely amazing with Greta! From the moment we dropped her off, I knew she was in great hands. Jayden sent plenty of pictures throughout her stay, and seeing how happy, relaxed, and well cared for she was gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she was treated like part of the family, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely trust Jayden to watch Greta again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!”
“Kristin, you were so great with Daisy! The pictures and texts you sent on how Daisy was doing made us feel really good. When we picked her up, she was all smiles and excited! I highly recommend Kristin to anyone needed a dogsitter!”
“We are so happy to have found Angela. Our Miniature Schnauzer puppy loved the wide open yard and all the tender loving care received from her and the family. Angela kepst in touch and sent lots of updates and videos of Howard interacting with her dogs...He was having a blast...so much better than putting him in a Kennel. Angela definitely gets five stars and we will look for her again for our next trip. Dave and Caroline”
“A big thank you to Cindie and family for Phoebe’s wonderful care while we were on vacation. She enjoyed her stay and we enjoyed peace of mind knowing she was receiving love and attention. Highly recommend Cindie.”
About: Hi! I’m Krystal, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 13 years. I provide dependable dog walks, drop-in visits, and in-home pet care for dogs, cats, seniors, and multi-pet households. Whether your dog needs a midday walk while you’re at work, your puppy needs a potty break and some playtime, or your pets simply do better with a consistent routine, I’m happy to help. Visits can include walks, potty breaks, meals, fresh water, medication, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of attention based on your pet’s normal routine. I also have experience caring for senior pets and pets requiring medication or a little extra patience and support. After caring for my own senior dogs, I understand how reassuring it is to have someone dependable who will take the time to get to know your pet and their individual needs. I’m available for both occasional and recurring weekday walks and drop-ins and love building long-term relationships with pets and their families. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is my full-time focus, and I structure my days around the pets in my care. My daytime schedule typically includes walks, drop-in visits, errands, appointments, and other everyday commitments. For boarding and house sitting, I spend plenty of time with your pet throughout the day while balancing my scheduled visits and commitments. Because of this, pets should be comfortable spending some time independently while I’m out. I also offer complimentary meet & greets so we can connect, review your pet’s routine, and make sure we’re a great fit before their stay! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and settled while you’re away. For boarding, I provide a comfortable home environment and follow your dog’s feeding, potty, walking, and sleeping routines as closely as possible. Favorite toys, treats, and comfort items are always welcome! In your home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, litter care, medications, playtime, and household preferences. I’m also happy to reinforce any training or routines you’re currently working on.
“Wow! Billiejean did an amazing job taking care of my pups while I was away. I can tell that they felt very happy and loved because every picture she sent me (which I'm so thankful she even printed me off a few pics ❤️😎) they looked so happy and so relaxed. That means a lot and it helps put my heart at ease knowing that I found someone that cares about them just as much as I do! Highly recommended caretaker! A+++ rating!”
About: I have years of experience caring for all types and ages of dogs and truly enjoy their personalities! I value the importance of your animal to you and your family and will take of them like they are my own. I currently work remotely a few hours a day which allows me to dedicate time to any animals I am currently caring for including my own (a 12 week old golden retriever) I have a beautiful and large fenced in yard that any dog would enjoy and also a family who is just as passionate about caring for animals as I am!
About: I have had dogs my whole life! Currently have three and love them more than anything! When walking down the street, I cannot pass a dog without having to pet it! Your dogs will be loved and cared for like they are my own … likely spoiled😊 I spend the majority of my day with my dogs! I am home when am not working and have the time and the space to care for dogs. I have a fenced in yard and there are 3 fur-babies here to play with other dogs! The dogs are always in my site as I keep the kitchen, sun-room and family area as the only space they can roam free!
“Mikayla is awesome. We have used her multiple times to watch our high energy golden doodle. I hate leaving her, especially over Christmas, but know that she is loved on and gets to play with her friends! She always send little updates and snapshots of all the dogs playing! Highly recommend Mikayla!”
About: I have 30 years of hands-on experience with dogs, including breeding and raising puppies, professional training, and working with rescue dogs needing behavioral rehabilitation. I have experience with many breeds, temperaments and behavioral challenges, along with numerous references from clients and families who have trusted me with the care and training of their dogs. Drop-in visits are available for potty breaks, feeding, medication, playtime and check-ins for dogs of all ages. Because I’m also a professional dog trainer, I can incorporate basic obedience training, manners and mental stimulation into our time together. Your dog gets the care they need, plus productive one-on-one attention while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate both regular and occasional drop-in visits throughout the week. Whether you need ongoing visits, occasional help, or care while you’re away, I’m happy to work with your dog’s normal routine and schedule. I care for each dog according to their established routine, household rules and individual needs. As an experienced trainer, I’m comfortable reading canine body language and handling different temperaments. I respect your home, your dog’s boundaries and the training or structure you already have in place while providing safe, attentive care.
“Zemo loves his stays with Edgar & friends! He always comes back tired from all the play time. Edgar is fast to respond, and friendly at pickup and drop-off. Anything I bring with Zemo is always neatly packed back into the bag it was brought in. Zemo himself seems well-cared for and happy at pickup, and looks calm and happy in any photos sent during the stay.”
“Melissa is a fantastic dog sitter! Great communication, regular updates, and excellent care. Our dogs came home happy and well cared for, and we had complete peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Melissa and will definitely book with her again!”
“Mary was very kind and accommodating to take care of our sweet, busy bee girl at the last minute. She kept us updated with pictures and a video of our girls 3 day stay. We felt very at ease knowing she was under great care. Thank you!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rossford
They did a phenomenal job watching my dog. They were kind and attentive. I felt that my dog not only got all of the love and affection I would give her at home but also that they took care of all of her individual needs to make her feel as safe as possible. As a slightly paranoid dog mom, I felt at ease every step of the way.
I highly recommend Sarah! I reached out very last minute, and she was available and responded so quickly. My baby Nala was so lucky to stay with her! 🐶❤️ Sarah kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Nala was well cared for, and I’m so grateful Sarah was able to help me on such short notice. I would definitely book with her again! 🥰

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
97% of sitters in Rossford can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Rossford 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 Rossford.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rossford. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Rossford 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
