“Ashlee is a wonderful person. She seemed to bond with my dog, Buddy right away. At pick up, Buddy was happy and looked like he had a good time! I would definitely book with her again! 😄”

“If you're looking for someone to take care of your special member of the family and want to truly enjoy time away without worrying, I highly recommend Lydia. This was my second time I had ever left Charlie with someone I didn't know well, I was a little nervous. However, from the moment I met Lydra, I immediately felt comfortable and confident that Charlie was in good hands. Lydia took special care of him and was incredibly attentive and responsive throughout his stay. She kept me updated every day with messages and pictures, which gave me a great sense of peace and allowed me to enjoy my time away know Charlie was safe, happy, and well cared for. Therefore, if you are looking for someone you can trust to care for your furry family member, I would definitely choose Lydia. Charlie was well taken care of, and I will absolutely use her again!

“I highly recommend Jessica! It was obvious she is a ‘dog whisperer’, gentle soul, who will make your dog feel like they are at home! She sent daily photos, videos, updates, gave my dog her monthly & quarterly medication, provided her a comfy crate to sleep in, and a kiddy pool filled with strawberries! And there’s 3 dog friends to bond with! My fur baby had a loving spa experience! Book with Jessica!”
“Kimberly is great! She is very quick at responding and giving updates (including photos). We noticed our dog came back very comfortable and relaxed. We are already booking again! Thank you very much Kimberly!”
“The care that Karen provided for my senior dog and 22 lb kitty was outstanding! I received updates and pictures everyday. She made sure that they were as comfortable as possible. On top of that, she is a truly nice person. I am so happy that I gave Rover and Karen a try after my former pet sitter moved away, as I found the perfect fit for my pets.”
“The second we met Vanessa, we were instantly relieved and comforted to know that we were leaving our Bingo in good hands. Vanessa is so kind and easy to talk to, and provided several updates throughout the day. Bingo fit in so well with her dogs - they were instant friends. I'm so happy we found Vanessa and will continue to use her services.”
“Angela was great. Highly recommend her and definitely will be using her again. Receiving pics of my boys was appreciated to calm this dog Mom’s nerves (first time leaving them anywhere)”
“Katherine was great! She treated our Rudy just like he was her own. She let him snuggle on the couch, and she has the best backyard that the dogs can use. She sent us pictures and video updates. Will definitely book with her again.”
“My pup had an AMAZING time with Aleisha and her fiancé - I was a little worried she would be sad to come home! 😂 Aleisha took great care of her, sent frequent pictures, and took Stella on a few walks and adventures. I will book with Aleisha again in the future - highly recommend!”
“Meeko stayed with Jennifer for the first time last week and we were so happy with our experience. She has a big beautiful family so there is no shortage of love given to your pet. But between her own dogs and others boarding, Meeko had the best time playing with all of them and Jennifer sent plenty of photos and updates. We will absolutely use her services again I highly recommend her!”
“Amazing dog sitter! I boarded my dog with her for a day and a night and she was great. Aubrey kept me updated on my pup and she seemed to take very well to her. Will definitely use again and recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“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!”
“We were very pleased with Amber. She was very attentive to Bubba. Her girls made bowties for him. Amber sent lots of pictures which set me at ease. Looking forward to many more stays.”

“Niella’s family and her two dogs wore our high-energy pup out, she was schlumped for two days after we picked her up! Niella gave us updates throughout the 4-day stay and was very responsive. We will definitely be reaching out to her next time we need a sitter!”
About: I have a degree in veterinary technology and used to work in clinics and veterinary ER. I personally have three dogs, three guinea pigs a bearded dragon and am fostering a kitten. I take the care of animals to heart and cater my approach to each of their personalities. I can perform CPR if needed and am able to administer medications and help with any specialized needs. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all ages and can meet their needs. I also can manage exotic animals. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask! I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I keep my dogs on somewhat of a routine as I have semi high energy breeds. Though we do lounge around at home when they’re feeling lazy. I treat all animals with the highest level of care whether it is my own pet or someone else’s. I have my eyes on the pets at all times both inside and outside of the home. I worked in the veterinary field through college and retired in 2024. All that knowledge stays with me and I continue to stay up to date on animal care. You will get regular photo updates of your babies during my drop in’s and/or boarding.
“Joanne was SO great with Marvin! After having some flight troubles she ended up watching Marv 10 hours longer than expected. She was so flexible and accommodating of our situation. While the dogs were playing, Marv's flea and tick collar fell off and got a little chewed, and she even replaced that for us! She called our vet to find out where she could purchase a new one. Joanne went above and beyond and Marvin felt right at home sleeping in bed with her. We hope to use Joanne again and would absolutely recommend her to any doggy family! He's exhausted from his fun stay with Joanne's family. :-)”
“Tammy was great with our dog Murphy. Murph had such a blast hanging out in her backyard and hanging out with her dog Sadie. We felt very comfortable leaving Murphy in her care and would highly recommend her!”
“Emily is the absolute best dogsitter. She treats my baby as her own. I get frequent pictures and updates and she has been very flexible with me. My dog loves going to her house. My dog also has several kinds of medication and she rolls with all the different things we have to do. I highly recommend her.”

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.
93% of sitters in Troy 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 Troy 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 Troy.
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 Troy. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 Troy 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.
