“Mariia was amazing with my dog for our weekend trip. She left multiple updates a day with videos and had so many toys/puzzles for her to enjoy. I also appreciate how she took the time to learn all about my dogs needs and quirks right away with her thoughtful questions. Thank you Mariia!”

“We are so happy we found Debbie! She watched our dog, Finn for a long weekend, and we felt so grateful that he was in her home while we were away. Debbie was so kind and caring with Finn. Finn also enjoyed lots of time in her fenced in backyard. He was even allowed to use her little doggie door to get there when he wanted to go out. We will book with Debbie again for sure- it was comforting to know he was safe and happy at Debbie’s house!”
“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!”
“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!”
“I cannot recommend Ralph highly enough! From the moment we first met, it was clear that he has a genuine love for animals and an incredible ability to connect with him. Leaving my dog, Butters, in someone else’s care is never easy, but Ralph made the process completely stress-free and gave me total peace of mind. Throughout the entire stay, Ralph went above and beyond to ensure that Butters was happy, healthy, and loved. He kept me updated with regular photos, videos, and messages, which made me feel like I was still part of my pup’s day-to-day life. It was so heartwarming to see Butters smiling, playing, and clearly having the time of his life! When I returned, I could tell that Butters had been so well cared for—He was happy, relaxed, and clearly adored their time with Ralph. It was as if Butters had gone on a doggie retreat. I honestly think my dog misses him already! If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy, and truly passionate about what they do, look no further than Ralph. He is a gem, and I feel so lucky to have found him. Thank you, Ralph, for treating Butters like your own and for giving me the confidence to leave my furry family member in your care. You are the best! 10/10, would absolutely book again!”
“Dungey had a great time with Susan. He enjoyed running around her large yard with her pup!! Susan and her husband Dave took great care of Dungey giving him attention and treats! Susan was great with communication, she sent updates and pictures. We will be using her again when needed, and would recommend her if your needing care for your pup!”
“Kelly is the absolute best! Anytime we have to go out of town, we know that our dog is in the best of hands. Constant updates and communication the entire time. We are worried that our dog is always sad to come home because she gets so spoiled staying with Kelly.”
“Shelby and her husband were great! I felt very safe leaving my anxious mini goldendoodle with her knowing he was in great hands. She sent pictures and updates. Exceeded expectations ?”
“Danielle took such good care of our Buddy! We felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care because of her depth of experience. Thank you so much Danielle for keeping Buddy so we could enjoy our family on the West Coast. We would not hesitate to use your services again!”
“Ryan and Maria took such great care of our large dog, Bubby!! We look forward to bringing him back in the future and know that our dog will look forward to it to. We were sent daily pictures and fun updates!”
“Megan and her family were wonderful!! My pup Zoey seemed to have a great time and is wore out from all the fun! She got to play with Megan's two sons, their dog, neighbor kids, went on walks, and tagged along doing errands for the car ride! Thanks so so much for caring for our girl, Megan!”
“Freddie had another great stay with Alex! Alex always makes us feel at ease leaving our pup with him by sending videos and photos every day. Freddie loves playing with Zana and Cocoa, and is always happy to see them all when we pull up. Thanks for having fun with Freddie this week, Alex!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Lea and her boyfriend Sasha! They truly had the best communication we’ve ever had with anyone on Rover. They’re an incredibly nice couple, and we felt completely comfortable knowing Charlie was in such great hands all weekend. They kept him active with tons of walks and gave him plenty of attention. We could tell he’d been very happy and well cared for while we were gone. We couldn’t recommend Lea and Sasha more and will absolutely be using them again!!!”
“Love how much care and attention Marie gives our dogs! They sometimes won't eat food when they're in new places but ate every meal so they must have felt very comfortable staying at Marie's! Love the photos too. Thanks Marie!!!”
“I needed a last minute Fourth of July boarding for my 7 month old puppy and Rose Ann was awesome! She has a nice fenced in backyard and dogs to keep yours company. I feel very comfortable leaving my pup there and will definitely book with her again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 471 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Spencer. About 93% of Spencer sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
