“Zuri is an absolutely amazing puppy caregiver! She took care of our puppy for several days and treated her like one of her own. We got constant updates and pictures of our sweet girl. Any fears or unease was quickly put to rest after meeting Zuri. Summer enjoyed her stay and even missed her “second “ family when we picked her back up. I would recommend Zuri for boarding hands down! Her entire family was amazing. She is so kind, caring, professional and compassionate. We were blessed to find her. She is extremely knowledgeable about pets and is always willing to go the extra mile for you. We will definitely be back for as long as she will have us!”

“Zemo loves his stays with Edgar & friends! He always comes back tired from all the play time. Edgar is fast to respond, and friendly at pickup and drop-off. Anything I bring with Zemo is always neatly packed back into the bag it was brought in. Zemo himself seems well-cared for and happy at pickup, and looks calm and happy in any photos sent during the stay.”

“This was our first time boarding our 5yo coonhound since she was 1yo. We had some nerves about how she would do away from us, but Angie was amazing! She cared for Grace as if she were part of her family and made sure she was comfortable with the other dogs. She kept us up to date on her status and even sent some sweet and hilarious pictures and videos. We would absolutely book time for Grace with Angie again in the future.”
“This was our first time using Rover.com, and Mark was great. He took our dog for a walk and seemed to genuinely care about our pet. We recommend him as a petsitter!”
“Andrew is amazing with my five month old puppy! He gently teaches him and provides excellent care. Jasper gets lots of play time and cuddle time. I highly recommend Andrew!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sylvania
Julie and Rick are amazing. They took such good care of our 2 pit bulls. Our girl was very anxious and really didn’t want us to leave, and our boy is in an old man and prone to accidents at night. They actually slept with our babies to keep them calm. They sent updates and pics to let us know how they were doing the whole time. I couldn’t be happier!

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 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
- 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 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 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.
