“Debbie was wonderful. I do not crate my dog and did not want to leave him with someone who insisted on crating. Debbie only had my dog and I was able to have an overnight trip without worry. She kept me informed of how it was all going. Her and her husband were lovely. I highly recommend her and will absolutely use her services in the future”
“Nicole and her family were amazing with our dog, Maverick. He has some separation anxiety and he did so well in their care. They will be our go-to dog sitters from this point forward.”
“She took such good care of our dog Buddy. Very thorough and conscientious with their diet medications and especially dogs who are older. We would definitely use her again.”
“Elisheba and her family took Ember in and were very kind. Thank you for the hospitality and the great care at a last minute notice. Ember loved the yard and enjoyed having extra people to play with her, it takes a village!”
“Khala has been so fantastic. On our 2nd time with her I couldnt drop off Major, and she came to pick him up. He was beyond thrilled to see her!! We are so lucky to have found you!”
“Kim was amazing with Ollie! She sent photos and updates throughout the stay, so we always knew he was happy and taken care of. It made being away so much easier knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely cares about your pup.”
“I am always at ease when I leave my dog with Shannon. She gives me updates on the visits and sends pictures. My pup is very fond of her and gives her kisses when she sees her.”
“Scott was the perfect sitter for my dog. The 1:1 attention was exactly what Willy needed. Willy is often nervous of strangers, but when he first met Scott, I could see Willy responded very well to him. I could tell that Willy had almost zero stress during his stay, especially compared to when he has to go to boarding.”
“John did a great job with our dog Candy. He even picked up on a thing I forgot to tell him which was that our dog won’t eat or drink unless her bowls are on carpet. I had left her bowls on tile and he saw that she was eyeballing them. He moved them To the carpet and she ate and drank. I love that he was that in tune with her.”
“Josie had an excellent stay with Aparajita. I had received photo/video updates consistently each day during Josie’s stay. It was basically doggy vacation as there were other doggy friends for Josie to play with, along with plenty of yard space and she even got the splash pad out after finding out that Josie loves water. Aparajita was kind enough to give Josie a bath and wash the towels we sent along with her. Will definitely be booking again and I highly recommend booking with Aparajita!”
About: I’ve owned cats and dogs over the years. My family raised kittens for years when I was in high-school. I also had a dog of my own for 15 years. I’m always the first to volunteer to care for friends and family members pets when they are out of town or need extra help walking them during the work week. I am currently pet free and miss having furry friends around! I work evenings so I have plenty of time during the day to walk pets and take them on adventures! I’m happy to house sit or keep pets overnight as well, as long as they can be left for 4-6 hours in the evening! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I have a dog park at my apartment complex, and take lots of daily walks as well. In your home, I make every effort to keep your pet on their normal schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always treat them like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. My 14-year-old son is gentle, respectful of animals, and has grown up around both dogs and cats, but all pet care and responsibility is handled by me.
About: I’ve been around animals for years and truly love caring for pets of all personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where every pet is treated like part of the family. I have experience with dogs, cats, puppies, and other pets, and I understand that every animal has their own routine and personality. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight care. I also make sure pet parents receive plenty of updates and photos so they can feel comfortable while they’re away. My goal is simple: happy pets, peace of mind for their humans, and lots of love and attention along the way. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I work from home, which allows me to be present throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I’m able to keep a close eye on the pets in my care and make sure they feel comfortable and included while they’re with me. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so having a furry friend around fits right into my day! 🐾 I want every pet who stays with me to feel like they’re right at home. 🐾 I keep things cozy, relaxed, and comfortable, with plenty of cuddles, playtime, naps, outside time, and attention throughout the day. I do my best to stick to each pet’s normal routine so their stay feels familiar and stress-free. Since I work from home, I’m around throughout the day to keep them company and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love. ❤️
“Katie was a perfect sitter for Nash! She gave him the attention and love he wanted, a great house to feel comfortable in and he almost didn’t want to leave!”
“Lerae is absolutely amazing!! She is very responsive and she really took great care of maya while I was away. Maya loved her stay. I highly highly recommend Lerae- she is the best!!!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Symmes
Janet was fantastic, welcoming our dog into her home like family. She sent us pictures every day and our dog always looked happy and relaxed. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Janet again- it was so helpful to know our dog was safe, happy, and well cared for while we were away.
Chuck welcomed Weston into his home and took great care of him while we were on vacation. They have a couple very good dogs that Weston had a lot of fun with. Their fenced yard is perfect for outdoor play. He came home happy. Highly recommend Debbie and Chuck as dog sitters.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Symmes 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 Symmes.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Symmes 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.
