“Bill was amazing! He helped me out last minute when it didn’t work out with a sitter and I had to travel the next day. He had a great fenced in yard and quiet neighborhood so I felt at ease having Ni Ni there. Bill sent updates and took wonderful care of her. Will definitely book again!”
“I felt immediately comfortable with Myra upon meeting her. Sage had a great week and ate all week, something she never does in a kennel. Myra is a puppy lover and kept us updated during the week. We plan to use her service again in a few weeks!”
About: We've enjoyed 4 dogs and 3 cats during our marriage. Our current dog is a 2-year-old mutt who LOVES to play with other pups, and our cat. She came from an abusive home, and it took several months to help her feel safe. If you have a shy/scared dog, we are understanding and patient. I work from home, so I am available at all times. I prefer to take walks in the mornings when it's warmer, and in the afternoon or evening when it's cooler. I like to let the pups play together as much as possible, but I do like to give one-on-one time with each pup a few times each day. Gates are set up to keep pups in a safe area where I can see them at all times. We mostly allow them to play together or with toys we provide. I take each pup outside at regular intervals, as provided by their parent, to relieve themselves.
“Sierra was scheduled to sit our two pups while we were out of town for 5 days. Unfortunately, our eldest Dozer, had a mast cell tumor that needed to be removed immediately a few days before our departure. Sierra was extra careful with him and even took him into the vet when his incision became infected. She sent pictures a few times a day and was extremely responsive. She is byfar the best sitter we've found on Rover and would highly recommend her to watch your pups. She will take care of them as if they are her own.”
“Karen is an angel and experienced dog caretaker, and was very sweet to our active but shy dog, who woke her up early and likely ran around like crazy the whole weekend. Her yard is fenced, and she even allowed our dog to swim in her pool! She sent frequent updates on the app, which was big relief since this was our dog's first time away!”
“Hatsuki took great care of our dog Chloe! She sent frequent updates and pictures about how Chloe was doing. At the end of the visit Hatsuki provided me with an extensive summary about Chloe's stay. I felt completely comfortable leaving Chloe with her and highly recommend her.”
“Lily had such a great time staying with Carly!! I loved receiving photo updates to let me know how she was doing. Finding a good sitter is so important to me as Lily has had some awful experiences with caged boarding, and Carly was great. I can always tell when she has a good stay based on how she acts the day back, and she was super sleepy from all of the excitement!! Lily cannot wait to stay with Willow again and have some more beagle fun!!”
“This was my Pups first time being with a Rover provider and Joe was the perfect person for the job! I was anxious he was calm and very easy going! He soothed my anxiety about leaving them for the first time without even knowing!! I would highly recommend Joe!”
“Tara far exceeded our expectations in caring for our 13 year old Goldendoodle. Tara provided incredible care and it’s clear her family is deeply committed to the pets for which they care. We will definitely bring Baylee back, because she already misses them! thank you to Tara and her family!”
“Treven loved having other dogs to play with and Vanessa provided extra reassurance that things were going well throughout his stay. I hope he is able to stay with her and her family again.”
“Sydney and I both luv Joanne and her entire family -- definitely a dog-friendly home with a fenced back yard and lots of hands to scratch ears :-) We're already re-booked for Thanksgiving!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience with Jacob. We were pretty nervous about leaving Reina since she’s a rescue and can be a little anxious around new people, but Jacob immediately put us at ease. He took the time to meet with us beforehand, asked thoughtful questions, and even took notes about Reina’s routine, what she likes, and her do’s and don’ts. It was obvious he genuinely cared about making her feel comfortable. While we were away, he kept us updated with plenty of pictures and communicated with us consistently, which made a huge difference and allowed us to actually relax on our trip. Every update showed us that Reina was being well cared for and getting lots of attention. If you’re looking for someone who is patient, communicative, and truly cares about your dog, we highly recommend Jacob. We’ll absolutely be booking with him again. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl!”
“Marcie was great! She was so friendly, easy to work with, and flexible with my somewhat last-minute booking. She sent me an adorable picture of my dog hanging out with her dog. I needed her services so that my dog could be in my wedding ceremony, and she was nice enough to come pick my dog up from the venue for me at no extra charge. I would definitely hire her again!”
About: Hi! I have owned several of my own dogs. I have taken care of many friends dogs and I love dogs and animals in general! I am a stay at home mom who homeschools my kids so I can give your dogs lots of time and personal care. Would love to take care of your dog! I have a fenced in yard and 2 other dogs but they are very well trained. I live right by a park too and I go on daily walks!
“Absolutely wonderful!! Took exceptional great care of our puppy Little Bit for a multi day overnight stay. Great to work with and communication with photos eased my concern of how she was doing. Jenna truly is a natural care giver. Her home is set up perfectly for keeping dogs. Little Bit had a great time and loved playing in the pool. Thank you so much for a positive experience. Will book in future.”
“Amber was so easy to work with. I requested an appointment the day before I needed to have my dog watched for the weekend and she very kindly accepted. I ended up cancelling because my last minute trip also got cancelled, but Amber was very understanding. I will definitely keep her in mind for future dog sitting opportunities.”

Carmen’s home is a ‘family home’ to my fur baby! She never wants to leave Carmen’s home! Carmen is sweet & gentle to her, takes her on walks, watches her do her zoomies in the back yard, and showers her with love, always captured on photos & videos. I’ve been taking my fur baby to Carmen for almost 5 years now and will continue to do so! Highly recommend!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
94% of sitters in Trotwood 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 Trotwood 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 Trotwood.
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 Trotwood. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Trotwood 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.
