“Andrew is wonderful! My Bri was so well taken care of, she almost didn't want to go home. Andrew provides a wonderful home and family environment. Clean, dogs play openly and the videos and pictures show them all having fun and even playing with the kids who adore having dogs around. On a personal note, anyone who fosters a blind and deaf dog shows his love fir animals (BTW, the blind dogs played as much as t h e rest of them). This is not a sitter, the dogs feel at home. Thank you so much.”

About: I lived with my brother’s dog for over 20 months, but I unfortunately no longer live with her now. I have done three house sits for cats but will accept dog only 😊 I work full time on weekdays and am available on weekends only (Friday night to Sunday night). I will be exploring parks and be happy to be in the nature with your dog. I will feed your dog regularly. I will make sure that your dog gets regular bathroom breaks (every 6 hours) and may send you a lot of photos.

“I used to go to a boarding place for my dog when I traveled in the past but once my dog is getting old, I was looking for more personal care for him. My dog is very sensitive and has anxiety issues, but he was OK under Allison's care. I was so lucky to find Allison and she provided good care of my dog and my dog seemed to be comfortable while he stayed with Allison and her dog Tashi in her house. She updated me on how my dog was doing few times each day. I think she understands the senior pets very well, and she provides perfect care for them. Now, I can travel worry-free if my dog stays with Allison.”

Molly was the BEST! She watched my 11 week old Airedale terrier puppy who was very much still at a needy and annoying age, and she was amazing. So attentive and sent lots of pictures/videos/updates. Her dog Winnie is also the sweetest and was a great teacher & playmate for my puppy. I would 100% recommend her!!

Our Riley had a great first stay of 4 nights with Rachel. He loved his stay and was treated all so well. Played day and night with Rachel two dogs and loved running up and down stairs as well as enjoying the big backyard. Rachel was a wonderful commutator and mom to Riley. I’m sure we will be back again. Riley now has 2 Rover mom and dads that he loves staying with.

Marina was absolutely AMAZING with Chance! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. She kept me updated with so many photos, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me see how happy and comfortable he was the entire time. She took him on plenty of walks, gave him lots of love and attention. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had the best time. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! I would recommend Marina to absolutely anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their pet. She’s the kind of person you hope to find, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

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.

95% of sitters in Upper Arlington 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 Upper Arlington home-away-from-home, 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 Upper Arlington.

<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 Upper Arlington 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 , 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 .

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.
