“Kiersten provided a happy, loving, and relaxed environment for our doggo who is often anxious in boarding situations. Boo had a wonderful time playing with her other dogs and Kiersten took great care of her!! Will definitely use Kiersten again!”
“Michelle was an excellent dog sitter. We knew Cookie was in safe hands while we enjoyed some Fall camping. When I got back into cell phone service on Sunday I was greeted with dozens of pictures of Cookie having fun and going for walks. He got a bath as well, and smells lovely. :-)”
“Kimberely was AMAZING with our energetic pup Mabel. She sent daily updates and videos. Mabel had a great time in her fenced in back yard. We’d love to use her again in the future!”
“Our dog had a wonderful stay! She was happy and well-cared for — treated like one of their own dogs. Thank you, Danielle and Jathan, for another great stay! We look forward to working with you again in the future.”
“Aparajita accepted a last minute request for boarding and took amazing care of Sugar. She kept us informed about how Sugar was doing daily with photos and videos. It made us feel relieved knowing our pup was in such good hands while away from us. We would definitely rebook and recommend Aparajita!”
“Scott was amazing with Junior, my 100lb lap dog. Scott absolutely went above and beyond. He was great with sending me photos of my boy enjoying himself. I will definitely request Scott again!”
About: I am a registered nurse so I am comfortable giving any medication your dogs may need. I’ve grown up around small, medium, and large dogs and am always looking for a furry companion in need of a staycation while their humans are away. I do not currently have any pets and will not take multiple bookings so rest assured your four legged family members will be able to relax without having to make friends with others. I work full-time. But am able to board on the weekends, Friday through Sunday late afternoon pick up. I am off one day a week and so if you need a doggy daycare for the day, I am more than happy to accommodate. Since I will be off on the days that I am boarding or caring for your pet. They will have endless time on the furniture, endless cuddles and at least one walk a day. If you are in the middle of training a puppy if you give me your training routine, I will practice it with them as well. I do not have a fenced yard. So outdoor time will be leashed walks. If they are potty trained, and they are used to sleeping on the bed they can sleep in my bedroom at night. If they are not potty trained, or a little more weary of new people, they will be baby gated into my kitchen at night only.
“The best sitter we have met on Rover. Our Dachshund moped for days after coming back home... She definitely didn't miss us during vacation as much as we missed her! Lots of pictures and videos during the stay provide peace of mind that your dog is receiving the best possible treatment. We feel very fortunate to have found Teah on Rover and we'll rebook without hesitation.”
“My dog had a fun time staying with Lerae, he probably felt like he was away at camp! She also provided frequent updates with pictures which I appreciated so much. I would highly recommend her!”
“Kathleen and her family are so amazing with Penelope. This is the second time I have booked with them and plan on it in the future. My dog is so excited to stay with them and they are always so great with her!!”
“Alycia and Scott were great with our 2 dogs! The dogs seemed happy safe and comfortable in their home. We received pictures every day. Will definitely contact them in the future.”
“Patricia is an extraordinary dog sitter! From the moment we met her to drop off Novak, she was extremely friendly and attentive, and we could tell that we’d made the right choice for his care. She sent many photos and videos of Novak having a great time with her sweet dogs and texted updates as well. When it was time for Novak to go, she sent him off with a toy as well! If in this area again, we’d definitely board Novak with Patricia!”
“Highly recommend! My dog stayed here for a multiple day booking and had an amazing time. The sitter was fantastic and which allowed my dog to socialize and spend time around a friendly large breed dog, which was a wonderful bonus experience. It was great to see my dog so comfortable, well-cared for, and happily socializing. I will definitely use this sitter again in the future!”
“We felt very confident having our 14 yr. old sheltie stay with Tasha and Joe. The day before we were to take her to their house, our dog developed bloody stools and required an emergency vet appt. Fortunately, she only required meds and Joe assured us he would give her the meds required and watch to see if any other issues appeared. They sent daily pics and updates. I was also gkad to know they had other dogs as I feel she enjoys the social interaction and helps her settle in better. She returns next week for another stay.”
“Mrs Kimberly took care of our “Fluffin Fluffball” like she was a member of the family! I could tell she was comfortable in her home. She was quick to communicate from the booking- to questions about the stay- to pickup. Looking forward to asking for her services again.”
“Khala took such great care of my 2 pups! I’ll definitely book with her next time. She’s great with communication and sends updates with pics. Great energy, wonderful spirit. So happy I found her and I’m sure my pups are too!”
“OMG! We could NOT be happier with Rebecca and Aaron!!! We highly recommend them!!!! This was our first time leaving Sadie, our 14-month-old Portuguese Water Dog, with a sitter and not a kennel. The breed in general is super active and needs a lot of stimulation, not to mention Sadie is a puppy so we have had a hard time finding a good fit - until now! She was just miserable staying in the other kennels without individualized attention and having to sleep alone. Luckily, Rebecca and Aaron are just the opposite and we could not be more thankful! Sadie had fun socializing with their pups but, more importantly, she got one-on-one human attention and snuggles constantly! She even got to sleep with them at night. Sadie had been spayed a week before her stay with them but I was confident after meeting them that Rebecca and Aaron would take care of our girl (who still needed to wear her cone) during her recovery. While we were away they sent lots of pictures to keep us updated on how she was doing. Knowing Sadie was happy for sure really helped us enjoy our time away without having to worry. Thank you SO, SO much R&A!!!”
“Katie and her family were fantastic in caring for our two boxers while we travelled out of the country. We loved getting frequent pictures of the pups and will definitely use again for future needs.”
“Natasa was very professional and made us feel very comfortable leaving our puppy for the first time. We received daily updates with pictures and videos which really was nice to see. Natasa and her family showed our pup lots of love and care while we were gone and we are extremely appreciative of that! Our pup lives going on walks and playing in their spacious backyard. Thank you Natasa!”
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.
Penny was an outstanding sitter to work with. Our pups seemed to do really well with her and her own dogs. She was very accommodating, a great communicator, and super easy to work with in every respect. We were also sent plenty of pictures throughout their visit. I’d recommend Penny to anyone looking for help with their pet(s).
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.
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.
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.
