“First time user with a New Puppy! Christi was Great along with her family with our Lil guy! We got pictures of his fun play time with his new buddies! Our Goldendoodle was a Happy camper on his own 12 day vacation! Would recommend to others and will definitely use in the future! Thank you Christi!”
“Communicative and professional! Put my mind at ease being away from my baby Gizmo in a new state for so long, but he fit in just fine and was very timely with responses! Would love to use again when we come up next year!”
“We’ve never boarded or left our dog overnight, so we wanted to make sure she’d have lots of attention and wouldn’t have to be crated for hours or overnight. I felt really comfortable leaving our dog with Tina. We did a meet and greet to make sure it was a good fit. Tina sent pictures regularly during our stay and stayed in communication. She was happy and worn out from playing with other guest pups when we picked her up. You can tell that she and her husband really care about the dogs. They will always be our first choice for boarding now.”
“Cody went above and beyond while watching my fur baby! She was able to sit for me while I went on a work trip. She followed all my care instructions and sent pictures daily. He was sad to leave his new friend after an amazing stay with her.”
“Look no further - Nate and Aylissia are the sitters you want for your pet! They are phenomenal. They made me feel completely at ease from the moment I met for a meet-and-greet. Their pups were a great addition to the stay, making the experience feel like a true vacation for my dog while I was away. Nate and Aylissia sent photos, videos and updates daily from t not only inside their very clean home but also from their beautiful, lush green backyard. Overall, I felt like my dog was safe and loved! I would not hesitate using them for as you next sitter!”
“Michelle & Justin are great! They are responsive and treated my pup like their own, including her in their activities and making special time for her too.”
“Arya is fantastic. I could immediately tell that he is very knowledgeable about dogs and will do what’s best for your dog no matter what. It’s very evident that he cares and loves dogs abundantly. During my dog Kylo’s stay, I received a video every single day, which really meant a lot. I had just recently rescued my dog, and I wasn’t sure how he was going to do, but Arya’s expertise instilled a lot of confidence in me that everything would be fine, and it was. My brother-in-law saw me watching the videos Arya sent me one day and said he wished he left his dog there too, and that he’s going to from now on. I couldn’t recommend Arya more and WILL be using him when I need boarding in the future.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Bill and Mary. At our meet and greet they knew we were worried because of a prior awful experience with a kennel and we were first time Rover users. Plus our dogs, Frank and Duke are spoiled. They love animals and took the very best care of our pups. Bill and Mary made them feel at home, sent us pictures and sent us updates to help ease our worry. We can’t thank them enough and highly recommend them as the best dog sitters. ♥️???”
“Pam and Tallaferro did an amazing job with Shade. I received daily updates and pictures which let me know she was safe. I’d recommend them to any dog owner who’s looking for a safe and fun home for a few days while away for work or a vacation.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Nicolette. She’s sweet and compassionate. She took care of my little Princess like she was her own. I know she gave her lots of love and attention and cuddle time. Princess gets two eye creams twice a day and Nicolette handled that with no problem. She gave me daily reports about how Princess was doing and she sent lots of pictures. I felt completely comfortable with Nicolette and I know she took wonderful care of my fur baby. I will definitely use her again!”
“Kat was/is truly amazing with my Zara! I received updates daily by text and videos. I could tell Zara was treated like her own. Zara had so much fun I thought she wouldn’t want to comeback home.. lol 😂. Thanks again for your kindness, professionalism, and expertise! Zara will be back as long as you will have her❤️❤️ Thanks again!”
“Karla is super sweet and super flexible! She’s great with the dogs and gave lots of cute pictures and honest updates! It was my anxious puppy’s first stay with strangers as well as other dogs and they made fast friends :) she’s very responsible and has a great environment for the dogs, and shes very kind and understanding with them as well as you :) I would recommend Karla for a dog of any size, age or temperament, she did a great job and I will definitely be back!”
“Heidi was great! We had a family event to go to and it was all day. She sent pictures and updates while they were there. Heidi has a very safe environment for the dogs. There is a nice yard where they can play. My dogs were very comfortable there and did not bark once when we left. And I have a Chihuahua!”
“Brian Thank you for taking care of my Harper. I felt a sense of peace seeingthe daily updates and pictures of him and Mario playing and enjoying each other. It looked like Harper settled in quite well from the photos. Moreover, the flexibility in scheduling drop/pickup times for me during this trip was so appreciated. Thank you again for being so awesome! I would highly recommend”

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.
94% of sitters in West Rushville 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 West Rushville 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 West Rushville.
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.

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 West Rushville 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.
