“Dean had the most pawlicious day ever 🐾💛 As a rescue pup parent, I’m always a little extra cautious—but wow, they made it so easy to relax. We got so many sweet photo updates and little messages throughout the day, and each one felt like a mini window into Dean’s adventure. Honestly, I think he forgot we existed for a bit 😄 He played his heart out, explored, and looked SO genuinely happy in every single picture. You could just tell he felt safe, loved, and totally at home—which is everything we could ask for. Thank you for treating our boy like your own and giving him a day full of tail wags and joy. We’ll definitely be back for more Dean-approved playdates 🐶✨”

The dogs were well taken care of and got plenty of exercise. Highly recommend!”
“Derik and Megan are wonderful. They took on a challenge or what I would call a challenge by caring for my little boogie baby. They treated him so well as if he was their own. They kept me updated with pictures and text. I wouldn't ask for a better dog sitter. They made us feel at ease with our baby knowing it was our first time ever boarding him. Thank you again!”

My dogs seemed very comfortable and happy there. I'd definitely use her again!”

“We had never used Rover before and were very nervous to try it, but Jen instantly put our minds at ease! She sent tons of cute videos and pictures and cared for our cat as if she was her own pet.

About: I own and care for a 3 year-old medium goldendoodle. He is energetic and always ready to play with any dog or human around. I have 2 years of dog training experience, including basic obedience training, and basic trick training. I grew up with a Brittany, so I am very familiar with the personalities and instincts of hunting breeds as well. I stay at home with my one year old son, so I am available during the week days, and for extended stays/overnight boarding. We would love to care for your dog! I have a fenced in yard for the dogs to run. I will provide your dog’s food and any medicines or care routines on your provided schedule, to maintain your dog’s familiar routine while in a new environment. I am flexible with your dog’s preferred sleeping arrangements— I have a large crate and a medium sized crate available if your dog is a crate sleeper, but my dog is allowed on furniture, so I will provide whatever your dog prefers. Family-friendly, non-aggressive, fairly sociable dogs are preferred, no age preferences or restrictions. My toddler LOVES dogs and will certainly run up to hug or pet the dog.
“Erin was amazing! It was my first time leaving my dogs at a home and they transitioned perfectly. Erin is so kind and was great with my fur babies. You can tell she has a serving heart and a love for animals. I was also excited for my pups to get some play time with her dogs as my boy is a little timid. We took him to a dog park soon after and he wasn't scared to say hello to other dogs his size. That was so awesome! Thanks again Erin!”

We recently had two older dogs who passed away so we are happy to get our dog time in before we commit to a new family pet. Our backyard is not fenced but we enjoy taking walks around the neighborhood! I took a break from dog sitting while my two littles were babies. Now I am staying at home with them and we love taking walks so I thought we would starting taking care of dogs again! We have an open floor plan house and a big yard, our yard isn’t fenced so we do lots of walks and just spending time together outside!
About: I have experience taking care of friends' dogs and my own dog, giving her oral medications and in food, walking them among others. I enjoy the experience a lot, to be able to meet new pets and their owners. I work from home, so I am available during the day to give your doggie attention, take your dog for a walk, feed and of course give your doggie a lot of love. I know very well what it's like to be away from your beloved doggie and how much you miss them when they're not by your side. That's why I assure you of frequent, daily updates on your doggie so you can have peace of mind knowing how they are and what they're doing each day. Being home all day allows me to guarantee that your doggie will always be accompanied and well cared for. They will be able to go outside to pee frequently, will have their meals on time, and will get their daily walk if they enjoy physical activity. I always keep a close eye on the dogs I'm caring for and always take them outside on a leash. If your dog takes any oral medication or vitamins, please feel free to bring them so I can administer them. Just send me the instructions in writing before the day you drop them off. If your dog has any favorite toys, treats, or long-lasting chews that they're used to having, it would be great if you brought them so they feel even happier. My priority is that your doggie feels comfortable and happy, and they will receive plenty of belly rubs and love.

“Loree and Jeff were great with my German Shepard! I cannot say enough good things about this couple. My boy received plenty of exercise (playing ball and walking) which he needs every day. He came home tired every day which to me is a sign of an awesome day for my boy. He also received snuggles and love as well. Communication was excellent via text and several photos were provided every day. Five star rating--that's for sure.”

I am retired and my husband works part-time so one of us is almost always home to care for your pet(s). If we are gone for a few hours, our dogs are caged in the house. Usually, it is if we go out for dinner or the store, so it's for short periods. If your dog does not do caging, that's ok as long as they are good! We have a large fenced yard. Our 6 foot privacy fence also has wire mesh at the bottom of the fence to make sure dogs are safe and can't get out (or other animals get in).

About: I have watched dogs ever since I was little. I started with a family friends two huskies.

I can stop by and just sit with your pets or I can take them out into the yard and run or throw the ball with them. I am also happy to take them out on long or short walks depending on the pets needs and age. If anybody need medicine I have plenty of experience giving it to them as well as giving dogs physical therapy while recovering from surgery.

About: I have had my own pets since I was a kid! My family has two wonderful dogs who we got as puppies. I spent a lot of time learning how to care for and train puppies and now even in college I consistently drive home to dog sit for my parents while they are out of town. I also have experience watching a large number of dogs, caring for deaf dogs, feeding, administering medications, walking, and more. I understand the need for someone with attention to detail and a big heart as leaving your fur babies in the hands of someone else is never easy. I am always more than willing to help out and learn how to best care of your animals! I currently have a part time job at a coffee shop which leaves me plenty of time for pet care! I should have a consistent schedule which will make it easy to schedule in times/longer stays. I take great care to make sure your pets remain safe and happy when I am sitting for any family. I make sure I know what the pets can do while I am around and also what their limitations are. I have a great eye for detail and will make sure your pets are fed/given medicine on time, let out/walked when needed, and make sure they receive the love and attention they need. I tend to keep notes on me just to make sure I am not missing any little notes about what your pets prefer.
“Mike was fantastic! We so appreciate the care he gave our furbabes. He went above and beyond, sitting with our pups after their walks and sending us pictures of their adventuring. His communication and updates were great. We will definitely use Mike again.”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I’ve had pets from tarantulas to rats! I currently own and care for chickens, goats, dogs, cats, and fish. I am also an Ohio permitted wildlife rehabilitator, so caring for all creatures is my passion. I’m currently off for the summer, as I am a teacher. I would like to do this as a summer job. I’m pretty flexible during the week. Weekends are a little more scheduled in, but I can work around schedules. I am available to do drop ins for animals. I can also walk and/or exercise dogs. I am available to dispense medication if needed. I’m also happy to care for any small animals.
“Jennifer did a fantastic job taking care of my mom’s fur babies! Smoke and Bandit are 14 years old move slow (Smoke also has arthritis and she kept an eye on him) and Jennifer was very patient in walking them. She was able to help me out on short notice the first week when my mom needed assistance with her dogs so I could take care of work and my work travels. She helped my mom for about 3 weeks in total. She was extremely flexible and always provided pictures and videos of the kiddos so I could follow along while I was not available. She kept me up to date every day with multiple reports on how they were doing. She was extremely easy to communicate with and always very quick with her responses (which I am grateful for). She went out of her way to make sure they got their medication and even picked up a prescription for Smoke while I was out of state. I can’t recommend Jennifer enough and will definitely use her again in the future!!”

“They not only are amazing human beings but they took wonderdul care of my dogs. I think they played with more than I do 🥰. I have very grateful to have them to call.”
“Our 7yo mini goldendoodle stayed with Sabrina and her family for a week. She was happy when we picked her up and has been napping steadily since we brought her home. We did miss routine photo updates so will definitely ask for that specifically next time. Highly Recommended!”
“A hundred thousand star review!!! Catherine and her husband...and Jovie took so much care of my Fred. Met all my expectations...then blew them out of the water!!! 500% recommend...I think we found our new "other family" when I have to travel. Stars willing it goes both ways!!! Fred loved his stay! Recommended 100 %!!!”
“Dean had the most pawlicious day ever 🐾💛 As a rescue pup parent, I’m always a little extra cautious—but wow, they made it so easy to relax. We got so many sweet photo updates and little messages throughout the day, and each one felt like a mini window into Dean’s adventure. Honestly, I think he forgot we existed for a bit 😄 He played his heart out, explored, and looked SO genuinely happy in every single picture. You could just tell he felt safe, loved, and totally at home—which is everything we could ask for. Thank you for treating our boy like your own and giving him a day full of tail wags and joy. We’ll definitely be back for more Dean-approved playdates 🐶✨”
“First time using Rover and had a great experience. Ryan and his son took great care of Cerby and he came back home happy and playful as ever. Will definitely schedule with them again!”
“Amber was awesome! She did a wonderful job taking care of our 8 & 11 year old GSPs. We loved that she only takes one booking at a time so she could help deal with some separation anxiety and give special attention when required. The dogs were well taken care of and got plenty of exercise. Highly recommend!”
“Derik and Megan are wonderful. They took on a challenge or what I would call a challenge by caring for my little boogie baby. They treated him so well as if he was their own. They kept me updated with pictures and text. I wouldn't ask for a better dog sitter. They made us feel at ease with our baby knowing it was our first time ever boarding him. Thank you again!”
“My dogs loved going to Rachel's house. They stayed for one night on a last minute booking. Rachel was very responsive to texts through the booking and stay, and even worked with us when we had car troubles and had to pick the dogs up later than expected. My dogs seemed very comfortable and happy there. I'd definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“Catherine and Adam are incredible! Our pup got sick while we were away and they went way above and beyond and made us feel so comfortable. Can't recommend them enough!”
“We have booked with them twice now and it’s been amazing both times! One of my dogs never likes anyone but my husband and I, but was sleeping on top of Ashleigh and Bill and cuddling with them during their stay so I know they’re very well taken care of.”
“Kyri W took excellent care of our puppies. Even on short notice she accepted our puppies into her home gave us daily updates videos and pictures. That made us feel like they were in great hands. Her interactions with our puppies let me know that they trust her too.”
“Stephanie has watched my pup multiple times and every time has been great! She is fast with communication, flexible on days and times, and sends me updates with pictures. My pup always seems to have a good time with her!”
“Pietro was absolutely amazing!! Maple is nervous around men but she was so comfortable with him. He sent plenty of pictures and videos and even kept her a few hours longer to help me out since I broke my leg. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Amber did an amazing job taking care of Beans (9 month old lab) for an entire week. She was prompt with updates and photos upon my request. I’d highly recommend trusting her with your pet.”
“Nate and Whitney were one of the greatest first experiences to have using the rover app they took such good care of us and constantly gave us updates as to anything that was going on. They will definitely be my first choice the next time I use the service 10 out of 10.”
