“Kirsten and Nicolas were great! They sent pics during the whole stay and were very communicative. They also have a fenced in back yard that they let the dogs run around in. They updated us when the pups appetites were low, which I really appreciated. Both of our dogs tend to be anxious without us because they aren’t used to used to being alone, so it was also a big plus that they work from home. In the past we have had to send our pups to kennels because we don’t have friends or family near by who can watch them. They would be locked in a kennel all day and we would literally have to pay extra for belly rubs or time out of the kennel. I usually feel uneasy the whole trip but not this time. I could tell they were well taken care of and treated like one of their own. Thank you so much Kirsten and Nicolas!”
“Loni is absolutely amazing! It's clear she has a genuine love for animals, and she took exceptional care of our fur baby while we were away. Her communication was top-notch—frequent updates and plenty of adorable pictures kept us completely at ease. I wouldn’t be surprised if our pup was a little sad to leave her care! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for peace of mind and a happy pet.”
“Kristi has been incredible! This is my second time using her to watch my dog. She sends updates and pictures and keeps you involved while away. She's been extremely flexible and easy to work with. My plans changed and needed her to watch my dog extra, she did it without hesitation. What a blessing! I'm not in columbus often, but when I need a sitter, she is my top choice. Book with her and you will not be disappointed!”
“Leo loved his stay with Emily & Nicholas! We received so many updates and pictures that made being away so much easier. They were extremely responsive and made Leo feel right at home as soon as he got there. He is a high energy dog that is overwhelming for many Rover hosts, and we are so glad to find someone we can continue to return to. Highly recommend!”
“Fantastic care provided for our shitzu with updates and pictures. We were confident our little guy was in great hands and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
“I reached out to Mary Kathryn on short notice for a weekend trip. I'm always nervous leaving my dog Franklin with someone new, but he was well taken care of by Mary Kathryn and her family.”
“Rachel was an absolute gem. My first time leaving Remi at a new place and she quickly put me at ease. Her and her husband were super nice and kept me updated throughout Remi's time with them with lots of photos. Remi was well taken care of. I would highly recommend and would definitely use again.”
“We were very happy with Rachael and Jeffrey watching our dogs. They are very nice and kind with them ! We will absolutely have them watch our dogs again.”
“Rachelle was great! She provided a great space for my dog to safely play both inside and outside. She provided photos, videos, and updates while I was away so I knew my dog was in good hands.”
“Kris was the perfect pick for leaving my buddy Smith with. He was loved on, well taken care of, and got lots of play time with her dog Baloo!! He came back to me in great condition and clearly happy with his “vacation”. Updates were frequent and adorable, and having Smith treated like a member of the family was such a big relief when I was initially a bit nervous about leaving him with a stranger for so long. Kris will 100% be our go-to for future boarding needs.”
“I cannot say enough about how wonderful Brittany was with our pup, Hazel. Hazel is pretty sensitive and this was a new experience for her. We had no idea she would develop some anxiety during our time away as we had only left her one other time. During the first 12 hours of her stay, Brittany recognized there was an issue as Hazel hadn’t gone potty once. She notified me right away and continued to keep me updated throughout the day. We decided it would be best for the vet to check her out. Brittany couldn’t have been more accommodating during this whole situation. She brought her to our vet as soon as they could see her. It was determined she was just anxious in a new environment and they provided some medication to help her relax, which Brittany gave her throughout the week. The issue resolved quickly after. I am SO grateful that she was so attentive and recognized the issue so quickly. Brittany continued to keep a close eye on her and kept us updated all week. She provided many pictures and videos, which we loved. I know she was in great care while we were away. Brittany’s dog, Lola, was also so sweet and welcoming to our girl. Brittany will absolutely be the first person we ask the next time we need care for Hazel. I couldn’t recommend her more. She is THE best.”
“Liwei was absolutely incredible! She sent frequent updates and clearly took amazing care of our two dogs. Both our pups have anxiety but Liwei and her daughter made sure they knew all the things our dogs needed to feel safe and comfortable for their week stay. We highly recommend her service to others and would absolutely request her help again in the future when needed.”
“Jasmine is amazing. She took very good care of my babies and was very accommodating when there were delays in picking up my babies due to a delayed flight.”
“Bill & Mary did a super job in keeping our Toby happy! They sent us pictures everyday, which was very helpful in easing our minds about the care of our Toby. This is the 1st time we have ever used this service. Thankyou Bill and Mary, for doing such a great job in taking care of our Toby!”
“Christian and Susan are great! They were flexible and accommodating over a last minute holiday booking, even with some schedule changes. Our pup was very clearly very comfortable there and came home happy and tired. We’ll definitely book again :)”
“Jingle needs special accommodations and Scott took really good care of her. I received photos every day and also updates on Jingle’s condition. Jingle also has plenty of exercise every day! She had a good time there 🥰”
“Kayla was amazing!! We left our anxious Bernedoodle puppy with her, and he was so at ease in the environment. He was fully loved by her family, and made playmates with her dogs. She was great about sending pics or videos each day, and getting him plenty of time outside on walks or in their yard. I highly recommend her for any of your pet needs. We will be using her many times for boarding this upcoming year. It brings such peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands.”
“Yasmin and her husband were by far THE best rovers we have ever had for Kota!!!! We got tons of updates, and he was so happy and loved there. He got lots of walks, plenty of playtime, and so many snuggles. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!!!”
“Justin was very responsive and kept me updated by sending photos of Mocha during his stay. My puppy has stayed with Justin multiple times, and I have never been disappointed. It’s clear that he and his son genuinely care about the dogs they watch. I highly recommend Justin and his son to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitters.”

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 Waldo 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 Waldo 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 Waldo.
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 Waldo. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 Waldo 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.
