“Very happy with Christina! She accommodated our situation when plans changed last minute! She took good care of our puppy and sent pictures and updates during her stay! Our puppy came home happy and healthy!”
“My experience with Patrice showed me that she genuinely loves dogs. She doesn’t just care for them; she truly cares about their well-being and understands their needs, especially when they’re hurting or vulnerable. I had an emergency and I reached out to several Rover sitters, but many declined because of the situation of my dog needing extra care and my request was a last minute. I reached out to several Rover sitters, but many declined because of my dog situation and last minute. I completely understood Patrice was very concerned, too. I really appreciated that she took the time to ask questions, make a call, and understand what had happened before deciding whether she could help. That was a sign to me that Patrice genuinely loves dogs and truly cares about their well-being. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting Patrice to accept my request because Mango needed extra care at that time. She took the necessary precautions and was willing to help me figure out what Mango needed while we were away. She gave me the comfort and peace of mind I desperately needed during such a difficult situation. Patrice would send me pictures of Mango, and it really gave me peace of mind to see her smiling and happy with Patrice and her family. When we picked up Mango from Patrice, I was so happy to see that Mango was back to her normal self, moving around happily and excited to see us again. I can’t tell you how relieved and grateful I felt! Thank you Patrice for being so kind, patient, and understanding, not only toward me but also toward Mango. You stepped in when I really needed help, and you made it possible for us to continue with our trip without the same fear and worry I had before. Thank you again, Patrice. I’m so grateful that we found you when we needed help the most.”
“Hailey and Potato were wonderful hosts to our dogs, Marley and Luna. Luna is a bit shy and Luna was able to open uo and play with Potato. Hailey sent just enough photos and updates throughout the visit and was very accommodating with the scheduling. The girls came back extremely happy and had a wonderful time with their stay with Hailey. Her yard is perfect and she is very efficient with drop off and pickups. I would definitely have our girls stay with Hailey again!”
“Apryl kept me updated with lots of pictures throughout my dog’s visit. She even took my dog for a hike! My dog was welcomed by Apryl’s entire family and I’m so thankful to have found her! Will definitely use again!”
“Ralph was great! He’s friendly and fun and you can tell he genuinely loves dogs. Howie spent 5 nights at his house. Ralph always kept us updated and sent lots photos all day every day. Howie was spoiled with a giant backyard, lots of cuddling, treats and other pups to play with. We will definitely use Ralph again!!”
“Samantha was wonderful! So friendly, communicative, and clearly took great care of our dog, Finn. He’s 11 and can be a little finicky when staying somewhere new, and she even made him fresh eggs (his favorite breakfast topper) to encourage him to eat. She sent lots of photos, kept us updated, and made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. We’re so happy to have found a great local sitter and hope she can watch him again!”
“Julie took such wonderful care of our VERY senior dog. She sent several photos and videos each day, along with a daily update on how Ted was doing. We will 100% use Julie again in the future.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities for over 20 years.

Because of my flexible schedule, I’m available most days of the week and can provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with people, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“Sabrina is absolutely fantastic! She took excellent care of my dog, followed all feeding and care instructions perfectly, and kept me updated the whole time. I received daily photos updates, and it was so comforting to see my pup playing and settling in perfectly. Highly recommend to anyone in the Avon Lake area”
“Our travel plans changed last minute and Marcie was amazing about it! She kept our dog an extra day no problems! Sent me pics everyday like our dog was part of the family! Amazing!”
“Thank you so much Summer for taking such good care of my baby! I loved seeing the photos and videos every day and she was so nice about letting us visit ahead of time which put my anxiety at ease. Will definitely book with Summer again next time I gotta go out of town !”
“As a very anxious dog mama, I was so skeptical to use a sitter. Matt went above and beyond, sending updates, pictures, responding quickly, and making sure my pup was comfortable and well taken care of! My pup can’t wait for another stay with get favorite sitter ◡̈”
“The only issue with boarding my girls with Lynn, is that my dogs seem to suffer from postpartum depression for a couple days following their stay. You cannot find a better, more caring, surrogate dog parent for your 4 legged kids. Lots of playtime with Summer (Lynn’s girl), homemade treats, toys galore, cuddles and snuggles at will,… I could on and on… (BTW, unlike Amazon’s reviews, you can take this one to the bank!). A&J send their love to you, Lynn, and keep asking me when sre leaving town again?🙄)”
“My dogs, Ozzie & Elvie, were well taken care of and spoiled by Julie & her son. They also enjoyed hanging out with their dog, Abby and being outside taking walks. Julie was great with updates and photos every day. We will definitely be back!”
“We could not have been happier with Leo and Nash’s style with Jen. They took them on multiple walks, were extremely communicative, and we could tell right away that our dogs felt happy and safe upon meeting their family and walking into the house. 10/10 recommend!!”
“Katherine is amazing! Biscuit loved her and her dog!! He had the best time and she kept me updated daily with pictures and text messages! I will absolutely recommend her to my family and friends and will be using her services again! Thank you Katherine!”

Kelly was incredible with our Kona! She is truly a trusted sitter and I am so glad to have found her. She followed all of our directions, made sure he was well taken care of, and most of all, made him feel at home. She even provided plenty of cute pictures of Kona and updated us along the way. She is terrific!!!
Lindsey was incredible. I was nervous to leave my dog with someone last-minute after our family was unable to watch her. There were zero worries to have. She treated her as we would, and Ellie loved being there. We received frequent updates and pictures throughout the stay. 10/10, would absolutely book again when needed!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
96% of sitters in Sheffield 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 Sheffield 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 Sheffield.
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 Sheffield. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Sheffield 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.
