“Cristi was absolutely wonderful! She sent pictures and my pups were very well taken care of. It was such a relief knowing that there was someone giving them love and attention while we were away for the weekend. We will absolutely be using her services again in the future! Thank you so much Cristi! Wally and Donut had the best time!”

“Cherokee and Lucy, my two large dogs, have stayed with Wendy multiple times in the past when I lived in SEO. This past trip, my husband and I drove 2 hours out of our way from Detroit to the Smokey Mountains-- just so our dogs could be with Wendy! They hadn't seen Wendy in almost three years and Cherokee scratched at her door to get in! Wendy is so thoughtful, clearly caring of our dogs, and overall a wonderful person to have in your corner. We will continue to book Wendy in the future, as her drop-off and pick-up are seamless, she is obviously quite experienced, is such a joy to see, and sends me the best updates occasionally through the stay-- always making me smile! Thank you a million times over, Wendy!”

“Will be using Dana again. Our 4 year old German Shepherd had a blast there with Dana’s family and other dogs. She responds quickly to messages and sends plenty of pictures. Would recommend to anyone.”

About: I have hands-on experience raising and training puppies, including intelligent, high-energy breeds like German Shepherds and Australian Cattle Dogs. I’ve also cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. I understand that every dog has unique needs, quirks, and routines. My approach focuses on patience, positive reinforcement, enrichment activities, and creating a comfortable, welcoming environment where dogs can feel safe, happy, and free to be themselves. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate individual routines, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and enrichment activities. Since I’m home throughout the day, your pet won’t have to spend long stretches alone and can enjoy a comfortable, relaxed environment with plenty of love and attention. My goal is to provide a safe, welcoming, and comfortable environment where every dog feels right at home! I believe in allowing dogs to be themselves while respecting their individual personalities, boundaries, and routines. My home is shared with Harlow, my friendly and playful German Shepherd, who loves the company of other dogs that enjoy playing and respect personal space. I prioritize compatibility, thoughtful introductions, and supervised interactions to ensure everyone feels comfortable and secure. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m stopping by yours for a drop-in visit, I provide personalized care, enrichment activities, exercise, and plenty of affection. I carefully follow your instructions, respect your home, and provide photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Lacey was awesome!! She was extremely sweet and I immediately felt comfortable leaving my puppy with her. She was always very quick to respond and asked a lot of questions beforehand to ensure she was providing the best care possible. Lacey sent lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay which I greatly appreciated and it gave me peace of mind. My dog came home exhausted from all the playtime, walks and a dog park visit. Lacey exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend her to care for your pet. I will definitely book Lacey again for my precious pup!”

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 Shawnee 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 Shawnee.

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 Shawnee 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.
