“Karin is amazing!!! My boy fit right in at her beautiful home! She has a really great doggie that helped him not have too much anxiety with his mom leaving him in a new place for the day! I highly recommend Karin”
“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!”
“From the moment I met Barbara I knew my pet would be safe with her. Skai took to her right away. Her home was peaceful and welcoming. Barbara kept me updated- assuring me our dog was doing well. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Jessica was a wonderful dog sitter for our Bucky boy. She took the time to ask about his diet, walking, and sleeping preferences. Jessica has the perfect yard and environment to watch your fur baby. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Kayla was a great sitter for our pup. We needed help last minute, we did a meet and greet and then our dog stayed for a long weekend. She came home exhausted from all the fun and play. She was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Kayla for your sitting needs.”
“Michael and his wife are incredible hosts. Their home is clean, accommodates our furry friends in the best of ways, and anyone can see right away that they have a deep love of dogs! Michael and his wife not only made sure that our pup was cared for and comfortable, they also soothed any possible worry that pet parents could have - constant communication, photo/video updates, asked questions when necessary. Your beloved pet will be in great hands and we’re so thrilled to have found our new, local, and friendly sitters. I know our pup will be thrilled to return! Another thing - their dogs are well trained and friendly! Your pup will come home deeply satisfied and pooped from their adventures with Mike, his wife and their sweet dogs. Can’t wait to rebook — thank you, Michael!”
“Lucy had such a wonderful stay with Jenni!! Jenni is so kind, caring, and accommodating. She provided a warm and cozy home and lots of extra attention. Jenni provided daily pictures of activities and walks. We could tell Lucy was well cared for. We are grateful to have found Jenni and to have had a happy place for Lucy to be while we were away!”

“I would give more stars if I could! Keith and Wendalyn took loving care of my darling Penny as if she were their own dog. Lots of fun walka, cuddle time, time outside. They also made sure Penny adhered to her somewhat strict diet but also got to enjoy some treats. Hoping to rebook with them for my next out-of-town trip!”
“This is the first time we used this type of service. Miranda made it easy and answered all my messages in a timely manner. She sent us random pictures during the stay. My girls appeared to have a great time they came back clean and exhausted. We will be using her again in the future.”
“Maria took such great care of our elderly Boston Terrier!! He instantly felt comfortable and at home in her care and she even got him to eat each day which is a small miracle for him. Her communication was fantastic and she was very easy to work with. We’re so happy to have found her. Highly recommend!”
“Oakley is a new rescue and I wasn’t familiar yet with his needs and limitations. Rachael was very knowledgeable and professional and knew exactly how to handle him by slowly introducing him to other dogs. She has a large backyard with different sections to accommodate Oakley when he’s not feeling too social. I highly recommend Rachael!”
“Mike was very welcoming and it was obvious our pups loved the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere of Mike’s house and his demeanor. I highly recommend Mike to watch your dog(s).”
About: Dogs have always been a significant part of my life. I've gone through agility class, traveled around with them, and performed medical care as needed I retired about a year ago from the healthcare field. I am frequently available to care for dogs and cats in many situations and time frames I live in a complex with a doggie walk and a fenced in area. I can care for your pet at your home as well, and can walk and exercise them.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities for over 20 years. As a neonatal nurse practitioner, providing attentive, compassionate care is part of who I am, and I bring that same level of responsibility and love to every pet I watch. I’m the proud owner of Kona, my friendly 9-year-old Lab/Shar-Pei mix, and I have two young children who have grown up around dogs and are gentle and respectful with animals. Because of my flexible schedule, I’m available most days of the week and can provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with people, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“First time using Rover & leaving our precious pup with someone else. We are so glad we found Carey! She helped us feel at ease and sent lots of updates & pictures! Her dog is very sweet & the 2 of them got along without issues. He was well cared for & loved. He also got a lot of exercise! So much better than being locked up in a kennel! We hope she can watch him many more times in the future!”
“Jennifer was wonderful with our dog when we were out of town for the weekend. She spoiled him with cuddles and time outside and she sent lots of updates and pictures. We would absolutely book with Jennifer again!”
“I felt totally at ease leaving our standard poodle with Andreja for a 4 day weekend. She sent photos of Ruby my dog, and I appreciated it and it gave me ease in leaving her. Totally trust her and would leave Ruby with her again. Vicki Hudak”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Valley City 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 Valley City.
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.
You and your Valley City 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.
