“Teagan was awesome! She was available pretty last minute. She still came and met the pups before our trip. She worked around her schedule and ours. She kept the house cleaned up which is huge for me! And she helped water flowers while we were gone along with taking great care of our 4 pups!”
About: I've raised and trained my doodle River (seen in photo), trained a rescued beagle (wouldn't recommend), and regularly been a babysitter/housesitter for 6 huskies (not afraid of getting hairy and dirty). I love all animals, and I have the patience of a saint. I have never had a shortage of love and care for dogs. My schedule is very fluid, and there will seldome be a time I can't fit in care. I'm punctual, available, and responsible. Availability will change with pet care scheduling. Visits will be frequent and timely, stays will be clean and respectful, and walks are just good for everyone involved. I was raised clean and well-mannered. My parents gave me the motto "Leave a place looking better than when you arrived". This is a strict virtue of mine. Your home is your home, and it will be treated accordingly.
“Bridget went above and beyond to make sure the pups were taken care of. When there was an issue she reached out immediately and went out of her way to help. Would definitely use her again!”
“Autumn was great with my two young dogs! She was very communicative and provided pictures and updates. It was wonderful to know that my girls were getting some outside and playtime while I was away for the day. I’ll definitely be reaching out for help with my pups again!! 😊”

“She has been wonderful!! Always on time and our dog adores her! Even offered to stay later to make sure he got the chance to potty again before leaving. No complaints! Thank you for the help Amber 😁”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for about 6 years including mine, my sisters, my moms and my grandmas. I made sure they were kept on there food and outside schedule and if they needed any medicine I made sure they were taking that on time. When I am taking care of your pet I will make sure they get everything they need and will make sure when you come back they are happier than ever! I have a pool in my backyard so if your dog likes to swim I will gladly have them over to take a break from the heat. I will also take them to dog parks and public parks so they can let energy out and see new stuff. I do have a full time job but it is mainly nights so I will be able to care for your pets in the morning and after I get off I am typically at work for max 5 hours so they wont have to be alone for majority of the day. I have a fenced in yard with a pool incase your dog likes to swim. I do have 2 other dogs that are really hyper but I can always separate them if I see an issue might occur.
About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember, and I’ve loved every second of it. Dogs bring so much happiness into our lives, and I truly believe they deserve the best care and attention possible. I know it can be tough for pups when their family is away, so my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re gone. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or playtime, I’ll make sure your dog feels cared for every step of the way. I’m a junior in college and currently help train and socialize service dogs in training, so I’m very comfortable reading dog behavior and making sure each pup gets what they need. I’m also great with watching more than one dog at a time and love giving them all the attention they deserve! I’m currently a student at Miami University, and pet care is one of my favorite ways to spend my breaks when I’m home from school! Since I’m not too busy during those times—especially over winter break—I have plenty of time to give your pup all the love and attention they deserve. I may take a short trip to visit family here and there, but I’ll always make sure your dog is fully cared for and happy while you’re away. Spending time with dogs truly brightens my days, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I always make sure to follow your expectations and routines because every dog is unique, and what matters most to me is caring for your pup the way you would. I’ll stick to their usual feeding schedule, give plenty of potty breaks, and keep their day as normal and comfortable as possible. I’m also experienced with giving medication and handling basic medical care if needed. Most importantly, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and at ease while they’re with me at your home (I will not be doing care in my home).
“Rachel is fantastic! She is loving to our elderly dog Zoey. She puts us at ease while we are gone by taking many pictures at each visit and giving detailed descriptions of her visits.”
About: I have had several animals ranging from cats/dogs to raccoons/monkeys throughout my entire life. I currently have 7 dogs, 2 cats, a frog, birds, raccoons, and a monkey. My family and I work with natures nursery and I am so excited to work with you too! I am currently working part-time at Toledo Hospital in the Neurology Department, and am part-time attending college at Owen's Community College. I would love to spend my left over time caring for animals and helping the families that need it! I am amazing at following families direct instructions on caring for their animals. Everyone cares for their animals differently and I am here to help you how you need it!
“All I can say is AMAZING job taking care of my fur babies! I would recommend Nicholas to care for your fur babies, as he will treat them as his own, giving them all of the care and love as you would! He sent the cutest pictures, I could see just how happy my dog kiddos were! Awesome job Nicholas, Tilley, Louella, Dave, and Bill all day Thank You and are happy to have made a new friend!”
“Kelsey is a great person to help with your pets. She is punctual, communicates effectively, and will show endless love for your animals! My Greyhound wags his tail 100 mph when he sees her! Better snag her before someone else does!”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sylvania stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sylvania choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Sylvania with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
