“My boarding experience with Lauren has been great. I felt really comfortable knowing she was well cared for during my extended trip away. Lauren is easy to communicate with and very responsive. We also do daycare with her and my Yorkie enjoys going back, which says a lot since she’s usually pretty anxious in environments outside of the house. Lauren is very kind and treats my little one like her own, and I really appreciate the care she gives her. We’ve had a great experience overall.”
“Brandon and Brandon were excellent with my two dogs. Both of my girls got plenty of love, and cozy places to sleep. I got several pictures and updates on how they were doing. I will definitely reach out B+B again when my girls need a sitter.”
“Tom and his family took such great care of my dog, Peaches. He provided so many photos and treated her like his own dog. I will definitely entrust him to care for her again!”
“Moki always loves her stay with Stacey and her family. The kids are so good with Moki too 🫶. It’s a nice vacation for Moki. She gets plenty of walks and play time. Stacey follows Moki’s feeding instructions, and I have peace ☮️ knowing Moki is very well taken care of and loved. Thank you, Chrissy”
“Michele is absolutely wonderful with our Simba. It was such a relief knowing that our dog was in good hands when we were out of town. We are so grateful for her and couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a caring trustworthy pet sitter. I highly recommend her and will be booking with her again.”
“Hayley is A+ dog sitter! My dog was happy when I picked her up. She sent me texts and pictures which eased my mind. She gave me a “doggy bag” which contains lots of thoughtful stuff including a report card. It’s so neat!! I will definitely use her service again! Thank you Hayley!!”
“Dawn was fantastic! She provided daily updates on my dachshund Henry so I knew he was in good hands. She cared for Henry as though he was her own dog. Would definitely rebook with Dawn.”
“Incredibly thoughtful and personal communicators. Most of all, our dog loves being with Michelle, Nicholas, and their dog Waffles. We feel extremely comfortable.”
“We could not be more pleased than to have Sally as our permanent Rover Gal! She kept us updated with photos at least twice a day and was just fantastic with Herbie. He felt at home there. We will be repeat customers with Sally.”
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Carly! She was flexible with drop off and pick up times, took him for several long walks, played with him, and sent great photo/video updates! She even wrote him a little report card 🥹 She went above and beyond and my pup can’t wait to visit her again! Thank you so much!”
“Amy and her family are amazing with our boy kitty Jade. He was recently diagnosed with a stress disorder but with her updates we knew he was as happy and relaxed as could be. He’s so loved and well cared for by them that we know he’s in the safest hands he could be while we’re away. ❤️”
“So nice to know my pup had a family to love him while I was away. Jasmine was great - super responsive and flexible with drop off/pickup pending flight schedules. Strongly recommend!”
“Dawn was a godsend for us! We had to unexpectedly find arrangements for our dog so we could travel for a funeral, and Dawn responded immediately and was so kind, gracious, and accommodating with our short notice. She not only took care of our dog, but loved on him while we were away, and sent lots of photos and updates. We are so grateful to have found Dawn and Rob to take care of Shadow, and will definitely use them again!”
“Tami was amazing!! Both of boys were so happy. I highly suggest booking with her. She made us feel comfortable and the communication was great. Thank you so much Tami.”
About: I've been caring for and loving dogs for over 30 years, including dogs of all sizes and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I understand that every pup has unique needs and deserves to feel safe, loved, and at home. I'm comfortable caring for puppies and senior dogs, following special diets and routines, and administering medication. My experience includes caring for my previous dog, Tucker who was diagnosed with thyroid carcinoma. I supported him through a two-year cancer battle, administering his prescribed chemotherapy medication regimen daily. I also had a senior dog, Maggie Moo that I cared for through incontinence and end-of-life care, learning firsthand the importance of patience, compassion, and helping pets maintain their comfort and dignity through every stage of life. I enjoy everything from walks and outdoor play to quiet companionship and couch cuddles. I treat every dog like family and prioritize their safety, happiness, and comfort. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while your best friend is in my care! I work from home some days and in the office (15 min away) on others, so my availability varies but is flexible throughout the week. I'm available for pet care during evenings and weekends, and I can accommodate daytime care depending on my work schedule. I make it a priority to provide plenty of attention, exercise, outdoor time, and affection while keeping each dog's routine as consistent as possible. I plan bookings around my schedule to ensure every pup receives safe, attentive, and loving care. My home features a large, fenced backyard with plenty of room to explore, and my own dog loves to play with other dogs. I have multiple dog beds throughout the house and dogs are welcome on the furniture. I believe in making every pet feel comfortable and at home while prioritizing their safety and well-being. I follow each pet's routine, provide plenty of attention and affection, and make sure introductions are handled carefully. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their space and follow the owner's instructions to keep their pet's routine consistent and stress-free. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family member is in loving, dependable hands. I have two kids under 8 years old who love dogs. I have my kids part-time so I may also be able to accommodate dogs who are not tolerant of kids. I have raised food and water dishes to accommodate larger dogs. I also live within walking distance, approximately a half mile from a dog park if your pup likes to social scene.
“Ajavon great care of our dog. She settled in with him & his family quickly. She loved being in the home just hanging out as she would in her own home. She got plenty of play time with him & his dogs. She also got plenty of snuggles and attention from his entire family. Thxs again Ajavon”
“Erika and her daughter took the greatest of care with my very large dog! They were flexible with pick up and drop off, so very kind and loving in their care and sent pictures and updates daily to this mom that was sad to leave her boy for a a long period. Thank you Erika and Emily!”

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.
94% of sitters in Summerford 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 Summerford 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 Summerford.
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 Summerford. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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 Summerford 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.
