“Thanks to Kelsey and her husband for watching our dog on somewhat short notice. First time use of the Rover app and felt completely comfortable with a multiple day boarding with them. I could tell by the texts and pictures we received that she was well taken care of and got plenty of attention and exercise while in their care. Would definitely book with Kelsey again!”

“Amanda and her family were just fantastic with our dog, Nala. They were super considerate on letting Nala get used to their own dogs, giving her plenty of time to adapt. They had her during two rainy days and they kept her inside, pampering her so much that I was worried Nala wouldn’t want to come back with us! They are just terrific people who really love dogs. They will be our first choice next time we travel with her to Cleveland!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I’m patient, reliable, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. I pay close attention to instructions, communicate regularly with updates and photos, and make sure every pet receives the care and attention they deserve. I work entirely from home, which gives me a highly flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. I can easily accommodate potty breaks, mid-day walks, and constant companionship throughout the week. My weekends are completely open for extended playtime, boarding, or overnight house sitting. When watching pets in your home, safety and respect for your space are my top priorities. I stick strictly to your established routines, double-check that all doors and gates are secure before and after walks, and keep in constant contact with daily photo updates to give you complete peace of mind. My home is a cozy, pet-friendly space where your dog's safety is my number one priority. While I do not have a fenced yard, I always keep dogs securely leashed during all outdoor bathroom breaks and walks. I strictly follow your feeding routines and provide constant supervision to keep them safe and happy.

About: Hi! I’m Corey, a lifelong animal lover, dog dad, and the kind of person who genuinely enjoys getting to know an animal’s unique personality. My two dogs, Asher and Gracie, are part of the family, so I understand that trusting someone with your pet means trusting them with someone you love. I know every dog is different. Some want to play all day, some want to sniff every corner of the yard, and others are happiest curled up beside you getting belly rubs. I love getting to know those little quirks and making sure each dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own way. I care for my own pets every day and regularly help friends and family with theirs. Whether your pup needs playtime, walks, companionship, a consistent routine, or just a little extra affection while you’re away, I’ll do my best to make their time with me feel like a second home. Your dog isn’t just another booking to me. They’re a member of your family, and I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want someone to give Asher and Gracie. I also know how reassuring it is to get an update while you’re away, so I’ll keep you in the loop and let you know how your pup is doing. My goal is simple: for you to feel confident leaving your dog in my care, and for your dog to have a happy, comfortable experience while you’re apart. ❤️ Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I make it a priority to give every dog in my care the time and attention they deserve. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate your pet’s needs, whether that means keeping up with their usual feeding times, fitting in walks and playtime, or simply providing companionship throughout the day. I want you to feel confident that your pup isn’t just being watched, but genuinely cared for. My home is a place where dogs can feel comfortable, included, and loved. With a fenced-in yard for outdoor play and a welcoming indoor space for relaxing, your pup can enjoy a balance of activity and downtime. I believe dogs deserve to be treated like family, not guests who have to stay out of the way. I also understand that every dog has different needs and comfort levels. Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, I’ll respect their routine, pay attention to their individual needs, and work to make the experience as stress-free as possible. Their safety and well-being always come first, and I’ll keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away with greater peace of mind.

“Sandra was wonderful! She took in our dogs for boarding while we were away in Ohio on a family vacation, even without a meet and greet beforehand. She made the process super easy and stress-free. Our dogs were well cared for, and we felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands. We really appreciate her flexibility and care. Highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since l was 10, with friends, family, and neighbors asking for pet care since l remember. I always enjoy spending time with furry loved ones. I care for two of my own dogs so it’s an everyday routine for me to care and check in on them when I do have to leave the house. I don’t have a job that requires me to be on site all the time so it’s perfect for my dogs schedule now that I have more time to be around them. At home I watch my dogs everyday, they are well trained so I don’t have to be super vigilant on them because I know them won’t leave the yard. They are fed twice a day and I try to walk them everyday. As for a clients home it depends on their schedule and how they care for their dog, but whatever their dogs needs are I will provide the service of fulfilling it.

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 South Madison home-away-from-home, 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 South Madison.

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 South Madison 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 , 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 .

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.
