“Great couple to watch our pup. We wanted someone with a fenced in yard and other dogs to help socialize and tire our pup out and that’s exactly what we got. Our girl was happy to come back after the initial meet and greet and happy to book with them in the future.”
“Makenzie and Jared were an awesome couple to take care of Macy. Macy immediately made friends with them at our meet and greet which made the drop off so easy. Makenzie sent many pictures and updates of Macy and her response to the thunderstorms. We all, Macy included were happy that she was able to spend the time with Makenzie and Jared and agreed she would be welcome to come back anytime. I highly recommend Makenzie as a Rover Sitter. Her attention to Macy was outstanding as she obviously loves animals and was reciprocated by Macy. Janice Kakish”
“Thanks so much for the polaroid, treats, plushie, giftcard and for Malbecs Bath!! And thanks so much for being the best dog sitter for her!! She loves you all so much!! Is a blessing to have someone like you in a country where we have no family at all!! We feel so confident by leaving our baby with you”
“Ramona was fantastic. Communication was great both days. Very responsive. Has a beautiful house with a great fenced in area. Loved that our little man was able to interact with her small children and other small dogs his size. She provided pictures of him playing in the backyard. He immediately laid down and passed out when we got him. He looks like he had a great weekend! Will definitely use Ramona’s services again in the future!”
“This is our second time having David pet sit our two dogs and he was fantastic! Great updates with pictures and cares for the dogs as if they’re his own. Highly recommend!”
“Kayla was a great sitter for our pup. We needed help last minute, we did a meet and greet and then our dog stayed for a long weekend. She came home exhausted from all the fun and play. She was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Kayla for your sitting needs.”
“Leo and his family took good care of my dog. Oreo enjoyed his stay and was so happy with them. I appreciate their flexibility with schedule too, so that I have enough time to get myself and my family settled.”
“Bridget was so easy to coordinate with and did a fantastic job taking care of Watson for a 3 night visit. Really great communication before and during the stay. Her dogs were super friendly and welcoming of Watson in their space right from the start which gave me good peace of mind while he was there. He literally didn’t want to leave when I picked him up so I think that says it all :) Thanks Bridget!”
“Tom and Tolley took excellent care of my 2 King Charles cavaliers, Max and Scout. With one being elderly and one being nervous/anxious, it’s always hard to leave them. Tom and Tolley catered to them and were so patient and kind! I received several messages and pictures everyday so I knew they were well taken care of. Would highly recommend!”
“Simply amazing, she treated my dog like her very own, great backyard with fence for dogs to run and play. She took my dog for many walks, we received frequent picture updates. Overall, highly recommend Karin and her husband”
“Lauranne was absolutely wonderful with my dog. I received frequent updates and photos throughout the day, which put my mind at ease. I was especially impressed with their patience in dealing with his picky eating habits, which can be a challenge. It was so clear how much she cared for my dog, and I came home to a happy, tired pup. Highly recommend! Laurie is the best! I finally found a trustworthy, caring boarder! Thank you so much Laurie! I appreciate you! I will definitely get on your schedule for future getaways!”
“From the moment I met Barbara I knew my pet would be safe with her. Skai took to her right away. Her home was peaceful and welcoming. Barbara kept me updated- assuring me our dog was doing well. I will definitely use her services 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!”
“I would give more stars if I could! Keith and Wendalyn took loving care of my darling Penny as if she were their own dog. Lots of fun walka, cuddle time, time outside. They also made sure Penny adhered to her somewhat strict diet but also got to enjoy some treats. Hoping to rebook with them for my next out-of-town trip!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Margaret! She took such great care of our Lightning, and kept us updated throughout our trip with the sweetest photos. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. Lightning looked so happy and relaxed—we could tell she was truly well cared for. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, easy-to-work-with and attentive sitter!”
“Caroline and Samuel were fantastic with my dog Netty. They were flexible with pick up times and they genuinely care about your dogs well being and happiness. The updates they sent made me smile and reassured Netty was in good hands. Their dog Winnie is adorable and eager to play with your dog any chance she gets! 100% recommend booking with them! Will book again soon. Thank you for a great experience”
“We absolutely loved Tina an Rick. I felt like my dog(Milo) was very well taken cared for and in loving hands. We received daily updates that included pictures or videos. We also had an emergency and had to extend his stay and they were very accommodating. I also loved how they included at the end of his stay a little report of how his stay was. I will definitely use them again as i felt like they really treated my baby as they would their own dog.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 459 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Spencer. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Spencer 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 Spencer 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 Spencer.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Spencer 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.
