“Erin provided outstanding pet sitting services for my 3-month-old chihuahua puppy, Java. She was extremely friendly, offered reasonable prices, and kept me updated daily. Java was clearly well cared for and happy, which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Erin to anyone in need of a reliable and loving pet sitter.”
“Abby and her family were really loving with my Razzle. Great communication and pictures. Razzle had fun playing with her two fur babies and running around in their big backyard. Thank you so much we will definitely use you again.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up in a home filled with pets of all kinds. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including those with special medical needs or health conditions. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or requires extra patience and attention, I’ll provide compassionate, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, experienced hands. I currently own a business and have a very flexible schedule with plenty of time to care for my furry friends! I live with my husband and two boys ages 10 & 15; who are also very helpful with any pet needs especially play time and walks. I prioritize every pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being by providing a clean, secure, and loving environment. I have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, a pet-free home with no other animals, and I always maintain close supervision, follow routines, and give each pet the individual attention they deserve.
“Jennifer was amazing with my dog, Pablo! She cared for him like he was her own and kept me updated every day with photos and notes, which gave me so much peace of mind. Pablo was happy, well-loved, and so comfortable with her. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”
“Definitely recommend Madison to watch my pup. She has few other dogs and I was not sure how she would react with other dogs as she likes to play but can sometimes be a handful. Madison was nice enough to meet Nala before I even booked and let her meet her dogs so we could see how they would react. She put my mind at ease by sending videos and pictures during Nalas stay showing me how Nala was getting along with her pups and just having a grand ole time. She has plenty of field for dogs to run around and enjoy/ tire themselves out. Will definitely be trusting her with my pup again and can not recommend her enough.”
“Zuri is an absolutely amazing puppy caregiver! She took care of our puppy for several days and treated her like one of her own. We got constant updates and pictures of our sweet girl. Any fears or unease was quickly put to rest after meeting Zuri. Summer enjoyed her stay and even missed her “second “ family when we picked her back up. I would recommend Zuri for boarding hands down! Her entire family was amazing. She is so kind, caring, professional and compassionate. We were blessed to find her. She is extremely knowledgeable about pets and is always willing to go the extra mile for you. We will definitely be back for as long as she will have us!”
“Our dog had a great stay with Allan and his family. He was flexible, sent daily updates and photos, and our pup came home happy, stress free, and healthy. We would have our dog stay with Allan again anytime.”
“LaTonya was the best. I would definitely use again. My dig is a senior with some hearing problems. I admit, I was nervous leaving him for 2 says, but she sent pictures and nessages to reassure me that my baby would be taken care of. I was able to enjoy my stay-cation. She's awesome”

“Kristin is simply the best dog sitter we have ever used! Our dog loves it at her house and won’t even let us say goodbye when dropping her off at Kristin’s! Our dog immediately runs to play with her dog! I highly recommend Kristin!”
“Jayden and his wife Lisa are amazing dog sitters. I left my dog Buddy with them over two weeks while flying outside of the country. They we're very flexible and attentive to all of my requests, and promptly communicated any changes with him while in their care. Buddy and their dog Redford became fast friends and Buddy quite clearly loved spending time with their kids, making a bed out of their trampoline. It was so nice to get updates and see just how much fun they had with him. Buddy says hi and thanks again!”
“Melissa is really good. Pixie loved her stay her with Melissa. I think Pixie was a little sad leaving her😅 Melissa was amazing with letting us know Pixie was doing and she took great care of her. We used to get pictures regularly.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Waterville
I reached out to Michael in relatively short notice to see if he could take my 10yr old Doodle for an overnight stay. He was very responsive and we agreed to do a "meet and greet" since he has 3 of his own dogs. They all got along well while getting familiar with each other in his large, fenced back yard. I felt comfortable to book with Michael. He sent many pictures of my dog playing throughout the stay and also of their walks. It was very pleasant knowing my dog was in good care and not having to go to a kennel for the night. Thanks Michael (and Bella, Nova and Ginny)!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Waterville on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 158 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Waterville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
100% of Waterville sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Waterville landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Waterville 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 Waterville.
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 Waterville 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.
