“Huge thanks to Loria! I was a first-time Rover user and she made the whole reservation comfortable and easy with daily updates! She was also very cognizant of my dog’s needs, nursing a healing injury. Thanks so much! I would (will) gladly book again!”
“tammy is an absolute angel! our senior dog has never been boarded before ever and we were so worried about leaving her for a week with someone who she doesn’t know. she had a hard time getting adjusted as she is very high anxiety but tammy was so understanding and flexible for us. we wouldn’t have been able to travel if it wasn’t for her. she sent us SO many pictures & updates that washed all our worries away. we will 100% be coming back to her when we travel again. you can definitely trust her with your pups! thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
About: I have had many pets in my life, dog's, cats, mice, rabbit, hampster, fish, chicken's, tortoise... I have carred for puppies, kittens, senior's (10yrs and up) and dogs with disabilities such as blindness and difficulties with walking in older age. I am willing to learn what your pets needs are and will do my best to meet all their needs whatever those may be, specific feeding schedule, medications... I am comfortable with dogs who wear diapers if needed I've done overnight pet sitting for a week or two at a time, and used to work at a horse stable in highschool. I work in the evenings Monday - Friday from 2:30pm to 11:00pm. I let the dogs out to pee as needed during the day. I work 5 minutes away so if necessary can go let the pets out to pee partway into that time. I'm usually home the whole morning and get back from work between 11pm and 12am. I go to the dog park at least 3-4 days a week if not almost every day for at least and hour. I can do walks as well or in place of the park. I have an empty spare room for your pet to have their own space for eating and relaxing but they are more than welcome to be out in the main house with my dog if they prefer the company. They can sleep with me and my dog in the bedroom or sleep in the spare room/ crated (I have 2 spare crates for both small and small/medium dogs). I have a dog and a cat. My dog loves a good pal to play with and my cat will mostly keep to herself and usually goes unnoticed. Both my pets have open access to food and water at all times. But if your pet needs a strict feeding schedule there food can be placed out of reach. To ensure no food related scuffñes your baby will be fed separately in the spare room for maximum comfort and safety. I make frequent trips to the dog park at least 3-4 days a week if not almost every day. I can do walks as well or in place of the dog park. I have a fully fenced backyard to play and potty in, I let the dogs out multiple times during the day and about twice before bed. I usually give the dogs some sort of longish lasting chew before I go to work to provide some stimulation during the beginning hours of my shift such as a pig ear or hide.
“Truly appreciative of them taking care of my fur babies…took pics of them everyday and keep me informed of how they were doing…definitely would recommend 😊”
“Tristen did a great job keeping Ms. Allie. She is known for hiding. She found a hiding place underneath Kristen's bed but she her space and she could see the food and water. After she received a treat and everything was good. Kristen sent clips show she was petting her. I will use Kristen again for Mrs Allie. I got a chance to relax on my trip and not worry about Ms. Allie.”
“Laura was so good to Punkin. She has kept Punkin for day sitting and now for an over night, both making us very comfortable knowing she is caring for our fur baby! Will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many sizes since I was twelve years old. I have a dog of my own who is my best friend and I understand the feeling of leaving them in another person’s care. I will treat your dog with the love and friendliness as I do my own. Weekends are the best for me to take care of your animal, as I have a full time job. I am free in the morning until 6:30 and in the evenings starting at 5:30 I have a 6yo hound mix who is the friendliest boy to all animals. He would love to keep your dog company. I have a safe area outside to walk the dogs on a leash as well as a fenced in back yard for some fun!
About: I have taken care of many rescues puppies to seniors that need extra care throughout my life. From my own to friends and families pets as well. I work part-time as a personal trainer with a flexible schedule that lets me be home when I need. I still have pets of my own so I schedule around them. I have a fenced yard and two dogs of my own so your pet doesn’t have to be alone. We are also close to a park for walks. I also have kennels if your dog prefer a safe space for themselves.
“Christian and her family are absolutely amazing. This is the second time we’ve had Scrappy board with them and they were phenomenal. Great communication and lots of photos of my baby. He loved the kids as well.”
“I quickly realized that i had found a get fit for Rocket. She accepted to care for him on short notice. She was constantly sending pics and updating me. It was a great comfort while i was in the hospital. Thank you!”
About: I’ve had animals all of my life. From hamsters, cats, dogs (daschund to Great Danes), to our chickens! I’m a stay at home momma so I’m available to take care of your fur babies and welcome them in to my home with care at all times! I’m home a majority of all days! After waking up, I take my kiddos to school and I go to the gym where I teach senior classes for 45-75 minutes a day Monday through Friday. After I will come back home. I like to spend my time outside in the yard. My yard is not fenced in, we have 40 acres and a pond as well that my heeler swims in but daschund wouldn’t step foot in. I do have two crates I have in my home, as well as a outdoor kennel. We are located on a dead end road and only two other houses are located out here so not much traffic!
“Christine was great!! Dabb had a great time and was well taken care of and fully entertained!! I got tons of pictures and updates over the entire weekend. I was a little nervous since it was Dabbs first time to be away from us and my first time to use Rover. But she made me instantly comfortable with her warm personality and love for animals. We don’t go out of town often but now I know Dabb has a great place to go when we do. We will definitely book her again!!”
About: I am so kind and considerate of the dog and the dog owner’s needs and will treat them better than my own dogs. My dogs are like my children. I always will be here to care for the dogs as if they were human. Ive always helped my moms friends with their dogs and they loved me. We would go on walks and I have always stayed the weekends if they needed me. Animals have always been something that I will always take care of.
“I am so happy to have found Casey when I moved to LA! She has been friendly, kind, and super flexible with my chaotic work schedule. I have an older dog that is blind and loves to cuddle-she is always sending photos of him relaxing on the couch cuddling with her on her 2 pups (which are sweethearts). She is always attentive to my dogs unique needs and communicates regularly. I feel completely comfortable with Casey's being my dogs "home away from home."”
“This was my first experience leaving Sandi with a pet-sitter, so I was somewhat nervous! My husband said that Sandy was such a happy pup and so well cared for that when it was time to go, she wanted to stay ! I will definitely ask for Kristen again!”
“My dog is happy and healthy, he had his own space to go whenever he wanted private time. Bridget was excellent texting back quickly and she answered all my questions. This was the first time Horse (my dog) and I have done this and I would defiantly recommend- I usually have him stay with a friend but she had medical issues and could not keep him. I was very nervous and anxious because of this and Bridget made me feel like everything would be fine and my dog was in good hands.”
About: Currently I have an austrailian shepherd of 2 years. I've always owned a dog since I was young and honestly really love them! On several occasions I have pet sit for friends that have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I am working full time as an engineer so unfortunately I can only board on weekends nights. It's the most time I can assure your pet actually have freedom to walk and have fun! I do have another dog that is still a puppy and energetic and loves to play! So your fur baby will never be alone! I do not have a yard but we have a big open field in the apartment complex that is a good walking trail!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 170 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sylvania. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.
98% of sitters in Sylvania 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 Sylvania 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 Sylvania.
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 Sylvania. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 Sylvania 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 AR 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.
