“Alexandria was wonderful with Sophie. She clearly loves dogs. She gave Sophie lots of loving and sent pics daily. I will definitely be adding her to my list of favorites for watching my baby.”

“Our dog Walter loves going to "Bunny's house." We've left him with Alyssa 4-5 times and been highly satisfied each time. She is attentive, trust-worthy and sends photos or videos of Walter having a great time with her two dogs. Walter has spent today pouting after picking him up last night because he misses his friends Bunny and Jinx. We will definitely use Alyssa again.”

“Our dog had such a great time! We got regular photos, which made us feel at ease while we were away. You can tell they truly love dogs and treat them like their own. Highly recommend!”

“Stephanie was great with Lady. She’s been having issues with her skin and Stephanie took the time to give her a bath to help. She was very patient with Ladies anxiety.”
“Omar had another wonderful stay with Swetha and her family! They take such great care of him and truly treat him like their own. We are so happy to have Omar stay with them.”

“Apryl kept me updated with lots of pictures throughout my dog’s visit. She even took my dog for a hike! My dog was welcomed by Apryl’s entire family and I’m so thankful to have found her! Will definitely use again!”


About: For the past four years, I’ve been actively involved in running a busy in-home dog boarding and daycare business through Rover. While my former partner handled most of the client communication and scheduling, I was heavily involved in the day-to-day care of the dogs and was responsible for making sure they were safe, happy, exercised, and well cared for throughout their stay. I regularly cared for multiple dogs at a time, including dogs staying with us 24/7. My responsibilities included taking dogs outside every 1–2 hours, supervising playtime and group interactions, providing exercise and enrichment, cleaning up after them, and paying close attention to their individual personalities and behaviors. Over the years, I’ve learned a great deal about dog behavior and how to safely manage different temperaments, energy levels, and personalities. I became comfortable introducing dogs to one another, supervising group play, recognizing when dogs needed space or a break, and making sure every dog was comfortable in the environment. I also handled a large part of the cleaning and daily upkeep, including deep-cleaning the dog areas, washing food and water bowls, maintaining a clean environment, and making sure the dogs always had a safe and comfortable place to stay. One of my favorite parts of caring for dogs is making sure they have a great experience while their owners are away. I love playing with them, giving them attention, taking them outside, and getting great pictures and updates for their owners so they can see how much fun their dog is having. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and after four years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a busy boarding and daycare environment, I’m excited to continue doing what I love and provide that same level of care to Rover clients and their pets. This is what I do and have done for a living for the last 4 years, prior to this I was working with my former partner under her rover account, plenty of play time for your pups! I can handle any dog of any temperament or behavioral issues that may require additional safety precautions. I go outside with the dogs in my care ever 1-2 hours, whether it be a group play session or 1 on 1 play. I tailor to every dogs needs.
“This was my first time using Rover and Pattie and Paul were wonderful caregivers to my dog. They sent pictures and took him on walks and played with him. They kept me posted on daily events which made me feel like they truly cared about him. I highly recommend them!!”


“Rachel was amazing to work with. She was very responsive and sent pictures of my dogs throughout their stay, she took them on walks, and I felt truly at ease with them at her house. Will definitely use again.”

“Shannon and Robert provided excellent care for our Dog while we were away. They kept in contact everyday and sent pictures. They are a very sweet dog loving family. No worries what so ever leaving out dog with them. We will definitely use them again.”

“Shirley took amazing care of Moose! He was recovering from his surgery at the time of the stay and she gave him all of his meds with such ease. She updated us frequently with pictures/videos and was very easy to contact throughout Moose’s stay! I knew that my pup was very safe, well taken care of, and loved! She is great!”

“Amanda is amazing!!! She is so friendly and accommodating to our girl LuLu. She sent videos and pics of our girl while we were away. Lulu looked like she had so much fun with her other dogs. I recommend Amanda to anyone who needs a sitter. We are from out of town and I feel so blessed to have found Amanda. I know Lulu will be taken care of if we ever need a sitter again. Thank you Amanda!! Hope to see you again next time!”

“Elandra was great! We had a minor incident with another dog but she reacted quickly and took control of the situation. She communicated with me throughout the week and even shared some pics. I will certainly use her again!!!”

“Gracias Julien por cuidar de Ashley, ella se ve feliz!! Buena comunicación pero nunca recibí una fotografía de mi perrita en los 4 días que estuvo contigo, puede ser algo en el sistema…en general muy bien cuidada, Ashley está feliz.”


“Tori was awesome! I received daily updates and multiple pictures which made me so happy! Bailey was in such great hands! She had cuddles, treats and lots of fun with her dogs Barley and Porter. If you want your pup to have fun and feel home I highly recommend Tori. Bailey can’t wait to see them again!”

“I’ve booked with Cheryl multiple times now, and cannot recommend her services enough! She is always great with communication and keeps me updated, which makes traveling so much easier. I genuinely feel at peace knowing my dogs are in her care while I’m away. She is reliable, caring, and clearly loves what she does. I’ll definitely continue booking with her!”

“Clare did a great job with Indy. She has a sweet comforting personality and our dog felt right at home right away. It's clear how much Clare cares about animals and she so wanted to please. Her apartment is tidy and there's lots of places for dogs to hang out. Clare sent pictures of Indy sleeping, walking and playing. Clare is just starting with Rover but we recommend that you give her a shot watching your dog. Mark and Patty”

Lana and her daughters did a great job with Penny and I was able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was well taken care of. Penny is a senior dog who has slowed down a lot this year so having a comfortable home with constant human company is all she wants. Lana’s home has a few other animals that Penny adjusted to quickly and I loved hearing how chill she was with the chickens. Lana was responsive and good at communicating how things were going so I was relieved everyone was doing well. I look forward to working with her again!

Travis was great with my dogs. Our Flight back was delayed. He was very understanding of the situation and thoughtful. My dogs seemed to have had a great time with him, they were great spirts and excited when I arrived. This is my second time using Travis and I will definitely use him again.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
