“Thank you so much! You were great!! Louis seemed great when we picked him up, so that’s all I cared about (: I was updated a lot with pictures and had great communication! I will rebook again (: (: (:”
“Leo came back even happier before he left and Anita made sure my Leo got his meds and fed when he was supposed to. She is very caring and loving towards my dog and her own as well. I did not have to worry about anything while I was away on vacation. Thank you Crystal”
“Kaylee did an amazing job taking care of Ezra! This was his first time staying for a week without us so we were a bit nervous, but she sent us photo’s and kept us updated along the way and he looked like he was really enjoying himself. Highly recommend!”
“Sauddi took care of our three dogs; one husky and two smaller older dogs while we were on a two week vacation. She was extremely attentive, timely, and attended to our dogs. She went way above and beyond with toys and even heated blankets for the older gentleman. I cannot say enough, how amazing she was! I don’t think they missed us at all while we were gone :-) She was very mindful of their well-being and happiness, took them on walks, and sent us pictures every day. Additionally, she also looked after our chickens, and even had to capture a few that didn’t make it in the coop at night! She went beyond full service. I would definitely hire her again and will be disappointed if I can’t get on her schedule next time.”
“Melissa was amazing! I was nervous to leave my dog I’ve never left her with a stranger before and as soon as I met her I know it would be good. She gave me daily updates and pics which I loved and felt at ease on my vacation. Will def be booking her again if needed!🩷”
“Dungey had a great time with Susan. He enjoyed running around her large yard with her pup!! Susan and her husband Dave took great care of Dungey giving him attention and treats! Susan was great with communication, she sent updates and pictures. We will be using her again when needed, and would recommend her if your needing care for your pup!”
“Stephanie was awesome. My dogs were in good hands and were well taken care of. I was sent pictures and videos of my dogs and they looked very happy. Would highly recommend.”
“It was the first time I left Kayla with anyone. On our meet and greet I felt very comfortable with Patti and knew she would take good care of my girl. Patti took excellent care of her. I booked with her because she only takes one pet at a time and she had a fenced in backyard. Patti sent me photos of Kayla fetching her ball which is her most favorite thing. I will definitely use her again.”
“Kelly and her family were absolutely wonderful with my sweet Myka. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my pup was being loved in her home as much as we love her in ours. She lives in a beautiful neighborhood with minimal traffic. Kids and families everywhere was perfect Would ABSOLUTELY use agin!!”
About: I have had 4 family dogs since 2000. I Iove dogs. Now that I am in my retirement years, I choose to just have "grand dogs" dogs, that we can love and play with, but they eventually go home. I am retired, home most days and weekends. We babysit my twin grandsons (age 4) at my home on Monday and Fridays and they love dogs. They have grown up with 3 dogs. I have a fenced in back yard, steps to upstairs and downstairs have doors so no issues with steps. Dog water easily accessible and have plenty of dog toys and treats!
“Great couple to watch our pup. We wanted someone with a fenced in yard and other dogs to help socialize and tire our pup out and that’s exactly what we got. Our girl was happy to come back after the initial meet and greet and happy to book with them in the future.”
About: I’ve had three dogs of my own over the years, so I know firsthand that dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, cuddly and calm, or a little shy at first. When your dog is in my care, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I’m attentive to their routines, love giving plenty of playtime and affection, and will treat your pup with the same care I would give my own. You can feel confident knowing your dog is getting both loving attention and dependable care while you’re away. Would love if dog(s) are getting treated regularly for fleas/ticks especially if coming into my home. I currently stay at home all day during the week so I would be able to give full attention to your pets needs. If they’re staying over the weekend I would accommodate my plans to be home while they’re in my care. Your pet(s) would have free range in my first floor apartment townhouse. There is a communal dog park that is walking distance I would take them to only if no one else was there. We have a private community that I would take them on walks throughout the day.
“Thank you Kristin. You were awesome and did a great job with my pup. Sent me pics and kept me updated. I would recommend you to anyone needing someone to care for their fur baby🐕💙”
“We got to rebook with short notice thanks to the kindness of Leonard and his family. We appreciate the daily pictures of our content furbaby - we know he is loved and cared for with them 🫶”
“If I could give Katlyn 10 stars, I absolutely would! Leaving my Izzi behind while traveling for work isn’t easy, but Katlyn gave me something truly priceless, peace of mind. From the very beginning, I felt completely at ease knowing Izzi was in such loving, capable hands. It’s one thing to have someone watch your dog, but it’s something entirely different to find someone who genuinely cares for your dog as if she were their own. That’s the kind of care Katlyn provides. I never had to worry, and that feeling alone meant the world to me. When someone is entrusted with a little piece of your heart, you hope they’ll understand just how much that responsibility means. Katlyn absolutely does. I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is truly a gem, and Izzi and I are so lucky to have found her!”
“You will be so happy you picked Stephanie!! She has watched both our dogs 2 times. The last time was for 10 days. When we picked up our dogs after the 10 days, our 11 month old Rottweiler actually guarded her from us for about a minute before he realized who we were. She must have loved him a lot for him to forgets us so quickly. LOL! She sent lots of pics and updates. Her husband also loved the dogs and they loved him. I will keep going back to her until she can’t do it anymore”
“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”

I never met Heather... but her husband/boyfriend was there for both drop off and pick up for my 2 dogs. We only needed one night... they had a nice set up for access to a fenced back yard which is all my boys needed. Heather might have not been there that weekend or something, but the man who was there messaged me with updates and photos. I would book again with just the husband lol, maybe next time I can meet Heather.
Nancy is absolutely the most wonderful dog sitter ever! My dog is tiny weighing only 4 pounds. She is so kind not only animals but people. Nancy is so invested. She takes him on walks, on the couch to watch TV, even in the kitchen. So many stimulating activities! Your dog will be safe and loved! Thank you Nancy!!

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.
95% of sitters in Wadsworth 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 Wadsworth 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 Wadsworth.
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 Wadsworth. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Wadsworth 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.
