“This was our first time to use Rover. Lilliana took an amazing care of our new rescue dog Bodie.. from the moment we got there for the meet and greet I could tell that this was a good choice. even after being there a few hours, she sent a video and pictures of him so we knew he was in good hands. We will definitely be coming back in the future! Highly Recommend her!”
“Will and Bibiana were awesome. Responsive, kind, and sent photos while we were apart from our dog. Luna was clearly relaxed and well attended to in their home.”
“Sally was an amazing sitter! She let us bring our dogs over to her house to meet her before we booked to make sure we felt comfortable boarding them with her. She also sent us pictures and videos of our dogs while we were on our trip like we asked her to. Our dogs were in good hands with Sally!”
“Leslie was amazing. Treats our dogs like family. Gave extra attention when our puppy’s stomach was upset with his first day away, but they were so great about it. Dogs had a great weekend and so did we knowing they were in safe hands!”
“Great communication! Sent lots of pictures and a couple videos. Made me feel like they were treating my dog like family. Loki got plenty of exercise and attention. Great people. Would book with them again!”
“We found a treasure when we asked Kelly and Ben to help watch our dog while we were out of town! They love that she wanted to meet our Daisy before we made the final arrangements. That gave us such peace of mind. Our pup walked into their beautiful home, and she instantly felt comfortable. Their home is warm and gave us a feeling that our dog would be so well loved while we had to be out of town. Kelly also showed how much she cared and how knowledgeable she is by asking all the right questions and loving on Daisy like she was already a part of their family. Communication was terrific too! We received pictures throughout the weekend of Daisy on walks and being her sweet and silly self with Kelly’s family too! We are so happy with the experience that we already scheduled another time out of town - knowing that our Daisy girl will be totally spoiled and cared for while we are gone. Thank you to Kelly and her family for loving our dog like we do!❤️”
About: Hi, I’m VJ. I work from home most of the time, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I have two dogs of my own: a 6-year-old female Bernese Mountain Dog and a medium male Goldendoodle. Both are gentle, submissive, and friendly with other dogs. My Bernese especially has a sweet “mama bear” personality and is very nurturing around other pets. My home is calm, dog-friendly, and comfortable. Pets are allowed on the furniture, and I want visiting dogs to feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family while they are here. I live in a quiet neighborhood with very little road noise, and there is a large community park close by where I can take dogs for walks, fresh air, and playtime based on their comfort level and your instructions. I’m best suited for dogs who are potty trained, friendly with other dogs, and not destructive in the home. I like to keep a peaceful environment, so I always prefer a meet-and-greet first to make sure your dog feels comfortable with me, my dogs, and the space. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I will follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any house rules you share. I’m also happy to send regular photo and message updates so you feel connected while you are away. Your dog will be treated with patience, affection, and respect in a safe home environment. I work from home most of the time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day for potty breaks, feeding, playtime, walks, and supervision. I can give dogs plenty of attention and keep their routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. Your dog will be cared for like part of the family in a calm, dog-friendly home. I have two sweet, submissive dogs who are used to being around other pets. My Bernese has a gentle “mama bear” personality, and my Goldendoodle loves to play fetch. I have an invisible fence for my own dogs, but I do not rely on it for visiting pets. Guest dogs are supervised outdoors and taken out on leash unless we discuss and agree on a safe routine together. I always prefer a meet-and-greet first to make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe. I also like to follow each dog’s normal feeding, potty, walk, playtime, and sleep routine as closely as possible so they feel relaxed and cared for while you are away.
“I am so happy I chose Zach to watch my little finfin. He's was very caring, loving, and attentive to my little fin. Zach was very friendly and listened to all my concerns and care instructions. Also, he provided me with continuous updates and pictures of my finfin. He lives in a house with a fenced in back yard, which was a plus. In addition, he has two amazing, loving little dogs that kept my finfin company while I was away! I absolutely recommend Zach to watch your ? dog!”
“For the first time ever, I had to leave my dog son for more than a day and I was definitely very uncertain on this whole you know . I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch over my best friend and care for him like they did. Had me at ease while I was gone the whole time if you’re looking for the same reassurance, I was looking no further!”
“Ashely was phenomenal in all ways. She helped me when I was in a tough spot with a last minute booking over the holiday. She took fantastic care of my very scared Chihuahua and helped her to feel comfortable in a new environment very quickly. She kept me updated on everything cute and important and sent lots of photos. Would absolutely recommend!”
“So glad that I found Angela! Leonard, my dachshund, had a ball. We are working to socialize him, and Angela provided him with opportunities to walk and play with a friend. Leonard has separation anxiety, and I am just starting to leave him with sitters. Angela is great. On pickup, I think Leonard was hoping that I was there to stay and join the fun!”
“From the time we dropped off our pup, we shown that she would be in great care. Gary and Heather provided consistent updates and photos as promised. We were told that our pup would be “cared for like one of our own” and our experience proved that. They took our pup to the dog park and the dog beach. As a high energy pup, we could tell she was thoroughly engaged judging by how tired she was when she returned home. We would highly recommend Gary and Heather to give you a peace of mind and your pup a loving home away from home.”
“This was our first time leaving Poppy with Molly. We felt very comfortable leaving Poppy with her. She was kind and understanding of all of Poppy’s needs. Molly responded quickly whenever we had a question. She will be our go to whenever we need care for Poppy again.”
“We had a great experience with Megan and Jay! They provided frequent updates with pictures. Luna came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely book again.”
“Halina and Theodor were the most fabulous host accommdating our super anxious dog Ginger for about a week while we were gone on a vacation. They went above and beyond in making sure Ginger was very comfortable in multiple situations and also took care of his medicines and walks. They also shared us multiple pictures every now and then to make us feel at ease while we were so far away on a vacation. We would definitely recommend Halina and Theodore to anyone who would need their services. Totally deserve the five stars and more.”
About: I’ve been working as a nurse now for 5 years. I have taken care of all kinds of dogs. I grew up with Newfoundland’s, Yorkies, Mastiffs, Golden Retrievers, Poodles of all kinds, and more. I’ve grown up having at least three dogs at all times. I’ve worked with training most of them and have experience in many training methods. I have experience in house sitting, boarding, and walking/ feeding dogs for others. I moved to Columbus a few years ago and just got married. We have yet to get our own dog, but I would love the opportunity to take care of your dog like it was my own! I’m currently working 32 hours a week. I’m free on Wednesday’s completely. I have evenings available (except Thursday) and I’m available on weekends. I’m an early riser, so if you need someone as early as 6:30am I’m your girl! Times gone: Monday 10-6 (work) Tuesday 8:30-4 (work Thursday 8:30-4 (work) Friday 8:00-4 (work) Sunday 10-12 (church) I will treat your pup just like my own! The more information you give me about them, the better! This way I can make sure i’m doing things/caring for them in a way that is the most familiar for them. You can expect quite a few photos of your pup when they are in my care, and quick communication from me as well. I’d love to walk your pup, however long they’re comfortable. Dogs when over our house can roam around wherever while we’re present. I have a guest room to keep them in, if I were not to be home. I can also crate them, as long as that’s provided with them! They are free to sleep on the couch, floor, or bed. We have no pets currently living with us, it is me and my husband. I have experience training dogs in public settings and taking them out and about to pet friendly places. If your dog is already trained and well mannered in public places, I’m more than happy to take them out to places that stimulate them and are pet friendly.
About: Hi, I’m Tyra! I provide a safe, structured, and attentive home environment where pets are treated like family. I focus on each dog’s comfort, routine, and individual needs to help them feel secure while you’re away. I have hands-on experience caring for both a high-energy Goldendoodle and a small Yorkie, giving me experience with a wide range of sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and routine so I can provide care that helps pets feel comfortable and settled in a new environment. In my home, pets receive: • Structured care and supervision • Playtime, enrichment, and safe outdoor breaks • A calm, clean, pet-friendly environment • Regular updates and photos for peace of mind My schedule allows me to provide morning, evening, and weekend care, with plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship outside of work hours. Dogs staying in my home should be comfortable being left alone for a standard workday if boarding occurs on weekdays. For the safety and well-being of all pets in my care, dogs must be able to coexist peacefully with other dogs or be comfortable with slow, structured introductions. Depending on a dog’s individual needs, I may not be the best fit for pets requiring constant supervision or extensive separation accommodations. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for, so you can feel confident while you’re away💛 Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I work full-time during the week, but I make pet care a priority before and after work and throughout the weekends. Dogs in my care receive plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship outside of work hours. I strive to keep their routines consistent and provide a safe, comfortable environment while their owners are away. Dogs staying in my home should be comfortable being left alone for a standard workday on weekdays. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free by maintaining their routine and providing attentive care. Whether a pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any specific preferences or needs. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and opportunities to relax. I work full-time during the week, so dogs staying in my home should be comfortable being left alone for a standard workday. Outside of work hours, I prioritize exercise, companionship, enrichment, and maintaining a consistent routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the pet and the home with respect. I aim to keep routines as normal as possible, provide reliable care, and help pets feel secure while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected throughout their pet’s stay.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Westerville
Repeat customer! My pup feels right at home with Jerad and Sarah. I really appreciate the frequent photo updates, their flexibility with scheduling, and the care they show while she's in their home. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy dog sitters.
We had a wonderful experience with Sarah! Our pups came home happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. We were especially nervous about leaving our new rescue, but Sarah’s frequent updates and photos completely put our minds at ease. It was such a relief to see them settling in so well. We can’t recommend her enough! 😊
Zach is an amazing sitter! I was nervous about finding a sitter for my dog Riley since he can be very anxious but Zach made him feel right at home. Riley loved him so much to the point he was giving Zach tons of face kisses, which he rarely does with people he doesn’t know well. Zach also gave me lots of updates which gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend using Zach as a sitter!
Olivia and Josh were absolutely amazing with Cookie! They kept us updated with pictures, and consistently let my partner and I know how she was doing throughout the stay. We could tell Cookie was comfortable and happy with them the entire twelve days they watched her, which is always what you want out of a pet sitter. We would always recommend trusting Olivia and Josh with your fur baby ❤️
Great experience! Janelle was super responsive and communicative throughout. I could tell from all the pictures that my dog, Panda, had a lot of fun with her. Her photos and texts showed she really got to know our pet's personality and quirks over the visit. Janelle made the whole process super easy and stress free. We'll definitely be back.

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.
94% of Westerville 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 Westerville 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 Westerville 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 Westerville.
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 Westerville 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.
