“Joe was phenomenal with our German Shepherd, Heidi. With this only being the second time we’ve had to leave Heidi alone, some separation anxiety was expected. However, Joe is very patient and attentive, making Heidi feel right at home during our trip out of state. She really warmed up to him and ended up following him everywhere! Joe made sure to provide us with pictures and updates throughout her stay to put our minds at ease while we were away. With all of her energy, the fenced in backyard and the friendly resident dog-in-charge, Duke, were also great to have. I would highly recommend Joe for your dog-sitting needs, big or small!”
“I had a phenomenal experience with Joy! She made the process so easy, sent photo updates, and really loved on Kisa while I was away. Without hesitation I would book with her again for our next trip!”
“Tharatip & Daniel did a fantastic job sitting for Chewie! They sent several pics and videos over the weekend while they watched her. They were treating her like part of their family which is what we were looking for. Thanks again!”
“Krystie goes above and beyond! Constant updates and communication, and my pups were so happy the whole time. She was very accommodating when we had to adjust our pickup time and made it happen! We will recommend Krystie to all of our friends and family and we will board with her again!”
“I can’t recommend Kyra enough as a dog sitter! She was absolutely incredible—professional, friendly, and kind. She took amazing care of my dogs and made the whole experience stress-free. Kyra was also extremely communicative, checking in with me daily and providing updates. Her attention to detail and genuine care for my pet made a huge difference. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“We took our baby girl Noodle for a visit, and she was sad to leave! Jodi treated Noodle like family; she was well fed, loved on, snuggled, and had a great time! I’d recommend Jodi to literally anyone who needs to have their dog watched and loved while they are gone. Jodi sent pictures and videos of our baby, gave us regular updates, and made it clear our Noodle was in great hands. Noodle was allowed to snuggle on the couch, just like at home, and was allowed to play and be her best self. Jodi did an amazing job! Thank you!”
“Bill & Mary did a super job in keeping our Toby happy! They sent us pictures everyday, which was very helpful in easing our minds about the care of our Toby. This is the 1st time we have ever used this service. Thankyou Bill and Mary, for doing such a great job in taking care of our Toby!”
“Sally was an amazing and very knowledgeable sitter for blue! Even after I had some horrendous travel delays she was super understanding and helpful. Blue truly couldn’t have been in a better home while I was away, I do not have enough good things to say, we will be back!”
“Lauren took great care of Zuri! She has a great space for dogs, handled medications/other needs well, was flexible with a last-minute booking, and sent frequent updates and pictures. We will definitely be back in the future!”
“Nate & Aylissia were AMAZING!! They were accommodating and booked me same day. They provided frequent updates and took great care of my Puggle. I would highly recommend them!!”
“Maolin was a great caretaker for Nash. We were away on vacation for 10 days and she sent daily photos and videos as well as took Nash to the local dog park to play around. She really seemed to care a great deal for Nash as like she was her own. Would definitely use again and refer her to others!”
“Laken is incredible. She sent the best updates and pictures while Biscuit was staying with her. I know anytime Biscuit is with Laken he is being well cared for and having the best time.”
“Jaz took great care of Luna while i was away, and sent me lots of photos. she has created a dedicated “dog space” in her basement, with a comfy (for dogs) couch, toys, and even a tv! she reported that Luna fit right into their family’s routine, which was wonderful to hear. and Luna got to make friends with Lulu, the cute and playful family dog. i would definitely recommend Jaz for boarding and caring for your dog.”
About: As a former veterinary technician, I bring professional experience, genuine compassion, and a deep understanding of animal care to every pet I look after. I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, comfortable, and truly cared for while you’re away. I offer personalized dog boarding, sitting, and basic training tailored to each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your pup is energetic and playful, prefers a quiet environment, needs extra patience, or simply loves some extra attention, I strive to make their time in my care feel like a home away from home. 🐾 With my veterinary background, I’m also comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or signs that something may not be quite right, giving pet parents an added level of reassurance. My goal is more than simply watching your dog — it’s providing them with loving, attentive care while maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. I have many long term established clients that would love to reach out to you if you wish! I currently provide full-time dog boarding and training from my home, where caring for animals is what I love and do every day. My mornings start with my furry guests, and my days are centered around making sure each dog feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for. 🐾 Every dog has their own unique personality, routine, energy level, and individual needs. I plan my days around each guest so I can provide personalized attention and care while also respecting the specific routines and preferences of my clients. While staying with me, every dog receives plenty of outdoor activity, exercise, playtime, and socialization, with opportunities to interact with myself and other dogs staying in my care. I also have a strong veterinary background from my previous experience as a veterinary technician, giving me additional knowledge and confidence when caring for dogs who require medications, special routines, or extra attention. Dogs with special medical or individual needs are always welcome, and I’m happy to work closely with their owners to make sure those needs are properly accommodated. My goal is to give every dog a comfortable, enriching home-away-from-home experience while giving their owners peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced and caring hands. ❤️🐶 When your dog is in my care, **their safety and well-being are always my top priority.** Dogs staying in my home are supervised throughout the day, both indoors and outdoors, and I strive to provide an environment where they can feel comfortable, secure, and included. I have a spacious, beautiful backyard where the dogs can enjoy plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and play. Inside the home, I provide safe, appropriate toys and activities based on the individual dogs and the dynamics of the group staying with me at the time. I’m mindful of each dog’s personality, play style, size, and needs when deciding what activities and toys are appropriate. On the rare occasion that a dog needs to be left unattended for a short period of time, I offer **large, secure crates** for owners who prefer their dogs to be crated. If an owner prefers that their dog not be crated, I have a designated, dog-safe area of my home where they can relax comfortably and safely while I’m briefly away. In many cases, dogs are even able to **join me when I leave the house**, depending on the owner’s preferences and what is appropriate for their dog\. My own dog is with me nearly everywhere I go, so I’m happy to include boarding guests whenever possible\. Every stay is personalized to the owner’s wishes and their dog’s individual needs\. My goal is to make sure your dog feels like part of the family while you’re away — with plenty of attention, activity, supervision, and, of course, lots of love. 🐾❤️
“April took very good care of our cats, and she was very patient and understanding when we had difficulty getting, Daisy, our 9 year-old tabby, in the carrier to go home. Daisy is rather stubborn and she absolutely hates traveling in the carrier and hates riding in a car. She yowls very loudly the entire time. That said, we'll definitely contact April the next time we need a sitter! I can't thank her enough for being such a caring animal lover!”
“Oreo had a great stay with Jana and her family. They took such good care of my elderly dog and made sure he had activity time and gave him all his meds and gave him care and attention. He got along with their dog, which isn't always easy for my Oreo. I was sent many pictures each evening so I could see how my buddy was enjoying his stay. I highly recommend Jana and Hannah (hope I got that right). I will definitely rebook with them.”
“Katie was wonderful with our dog, Luna! She took great care of her while we were out of the country and sent us updates and pics of Luna. She was quick to respond if I had a question. I would definitely trust her with Luna again.”
“Such a fantastic experience! She is a super accommodating with a last minute schedule change due to a flight cancellation. ann took wonderful care of our dog and kept us updated. We couldn't have asked for a better boarder!”
“You all did an impeccable job with our 2 girls. I have always hated having to board them when we go on vacation, but not anymore. My girls loved you all and they were wonderful when they came home. It was obvious that they were well loved while we were gone. We are going away on a long weekend in October and you can bet that you will be our 1st call. Jennifer Hatem Mom to Nola & Zoey”

Jennifer T. did an outstanding job of hosting our 1 ½ year old corgi, Chloe, for 11 days and nights. She sent us videos daily so we could see how Chloe was enjoying her time with the family which (much to Chloe’s delight) included two little girls. We can’t imagine a better pet sitter! We look forward to the next time.
Kyla did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Grayson, while I was away from July 31st through August 9th. She kept me updated with pictures, which gave me peace of mind and let me see that Grayson was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. She is clearly very good with dogs and also has experience with dog training. I felt completely comfortable leaving Grayson in her care and would definitely recommend Kyla to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and knowledgeable dog sitter. I would absolutely use her again! Charles Simmons
Katie & Mario watched our two boxers for four nights & we had a great overall experience. They were communicative leading up to the stay, flexible with the drop off time & kept us updated with how the gals were doing with pictures during their stay. We would definitely recommend Katie & Mario to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.

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 Summit Station 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 Summit Station 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 Summit Station.
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 Summit Station. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Summit Station 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.
