“Karin took great care of our anxious dog, Chester. He seems to have a great time and she took him for great walks. Chester came home happy and tired. Will definitely book with her again.”
“This was our 3rd time using David to care for our fur baby, and we can't see ourselves using anyone else. Each time, David and his family went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and informed during Wrigley's visit. He treats Wrigley as if he is a member of the family, which puts our minds at ease each time we leave him. The communication is always WONDERFUL and Wrigley comes home happy and tuckered out. If a million star rating was an option........David would definitely get it from us!”
“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!”
“Marcie & family excepted my request on short notice. She sent pics. She went above and beyond for me and my pup. Her family treated him like one of their own. And for that, I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much!!!”
“Kato is a big dog, and was well tended and rarely left alone. The fenced-in yard allowed him plenty of safe exercise. We got regular photos and updates to keep us from any worries about him. Sitter was very flexible with last minute changes to drop off and pick up times.”
“Thank you Rachel for taking care of our Luke! Luke is a beagle mix who is quite a handful but got along well with all of her dogs. Wish I could give a few extra stars!”
“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.”
“Robert was amazing! Made us feel very comfortable when dropping Dino off and continued to stay in close contact while we were away. Received multiple photos and videos + daily updates. Dino was safe and engaged every day!! We can tell he misses Robert already which is a great sign. Will definitely book with Robert again!!”
“Shannon and Robert were absolutely wonderful! Their family is so kind, and their children were great with Henry. He settled in right away and honestly didn’t seem like he wanted to leave when we picked him up. They kept him active all day, so he came home happy and completely worn out (in the best way!). We’d absolutely trust them with Henry again and look forward to booking with them in the future.”
About: I have 10 years of hands-on experience caring for my own Chocolate Lab, which gave me a strong understanding of the love, patience, and attention dogs need. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, companionship, and lots of affection. I truly enjoy being around animals and will treat your pet like family. 💜 I work full-time during the week, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pet care during evenings and weekends! - Boarding: Available Thursday evenings after work through Sunday. I work remotely on Fridays, allowing me to be home and provide extra attention and companionship throughout the day. - Dog Walking: Available Monday-Thursday after 5:30 p.m., Fridays after 1:00 p.m., and anytime on Saturdays and Sundays. I live in a clean, comfortable two-bedroom apartment with plenty of space for your pet to relax and feel at home. I can also accommodate crating if needed and will happily follow your pet’s usual routine and any specific care instructions. I’m fortunate to live near several walking trails and dog parks, making it easy to provide plenty of exercise, outdoor adventures, and fresh air. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being and will treat your fur baby with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. My goal is to make sure you feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands. 💜
“Katlyn did a wonderful job watching my dog. She was quick to respond to messages, sent lots of picture updates and it was evident she truly cares about animals. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Renee is truly a pet lover. Very dedicated and caring person. They took many walks which our doggy loved. After a few days, our dog became ill. She stayed up at night with him making sure he was ok. Renee went above and beyond to get the best care for him. Our doggy is well on the mend. We would definitely use Renee again.”
“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!”
“Julie and her family were excellent with my somewhat anxious dog Sammy, and made him feel at home from the beginning. She sent daily pics/videos. Highly recommend her!”
“Amanda did a great job taking care of my cavapoo for a week. Daisy came back looking great and she was happy. I got photos of Daisy asking for belly rubs so I know she was comfortable 🙂 My dog is usually afraid of men but she wasn't scared of Amanda's husband which was a huge plus. Her daughters also were kind to Daisy, they even gave her a new nickname ,Daisy-Doodle, which I will be using! Highly recommend.”
“Wendy and Keith were incredibly kind, generous, and caring, treating our dogs as if they were their own. Their communication was outstanding, and we truly appreciated the frequent updates and photos that gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear how much love and attention they gave our pets, and we are so grateful for the care they provided. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable to care for their furry family members!”
“I have two high energy beagles and Kelly took them on. She was even smiling when I picked them up. She kept me updated and included pictures. I will definitely have Kelly watch the dogs again and I am so grateful she was so good to them.”

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.
95% of sitters in Strongsville 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 Strongsville 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 Strongsville.
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 Strongsville. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Strongsville 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.
