“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!”
“Jill took excellent care of our dog! The pictures and updates were thoughtful and reassuring that our fur baby was in good hands and having a blast playing with her family and their dog! I absolutely recommend Jill to anyone in the area looking for a superior alternative to a boarding kennel. Your dog will be a part of their family during his/her stay.”
“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!”
About: I love animals!! My dogs are my fur babies and I treat them just like they are my babies. I love to take them to the dog park, dress them up, take them to get pictures for the holidays and make them feel so so loved. Your fur babies will be very well taken care of with me and very loved. I won’t just be pet sitting, I will do my best to make them feel right at home. I have had pets all my life growing up and now with my 2 fur babes. I currently am staying home full time so my schedule is normally always open. I can be available for all services through the week and weekends. I like to take my babies on walks and to the park.I play lots and have many many toys! My fur babies sleep in the bed but when it comes to clients pets I prefer they are crate trained or comfortable laying in their own bed.I love to have fun and play around here.
“Amy was able to sit for my dog Ivy for four days on very short notice. She was very accommodating and really want the extra mile to work with me on schedule. She has a lovely home with a nice fenced backyard for your pup. Her fur baby Roxy is such a sweetheart and immediately was friendly with my 100 pound dog. Amy was amazing at sending me updates and pictures during Ivy’s stay. I would 100% use her again in the future!”
“Taylor was absolutely amazing with Osa, I went from feeling scared of leaving Osa to feeling comfortable Osa was taken care of. Her response time was almost instant for the entirety of Osa's stay, and she was so flexible when I needed to add pick up and drop off for unexpected events! Taylor, thank you so much for making this one less thing for me to worry about during my travel!”
“Keylor and Grace were wonderful!!! They took such good care of our puppy and were very accommodating and flexible as well as responsive to messages. I really appreciated the pics of Buddy and updates on how he was doing as well!!! Highly recommend!!!”
“Katelyn and Nicholas do a great job with Jack and I am so lucky to have found them when we go out of town for extended periods and can’t take our pup. I would highly recommend them if they’re in your area!”
“Our two dogs love Ms Kyla! This stay was a longer one as we went on our honeymoon and we’re gone for nine days. And at the new spot. So my dogs had only been to the new house once previously for a shorter stay, so one was having a little bit more anxiety. Miss Kyla was very patient with him They knew exactly what to do to help him get comfortable. Then we started getting all these photos and updates about happy puppies. We will continue to use Miss Kyla as long as her services are available. One of the best dogs we’ve had. I’ll add that we travel about 25 minutes from our house to her house and I have no problems with that because of the care dogs receive. I’m sure we have great sitters nearby. However, the care is next level!”
“Brian is great! He cares for your dog like his own. Brian sent us pictures and daily updates, that were helpful. He was very understanding for our dog needs, flexible around our schedule. Definitely will ask him again next time”
“Jaz was the perfect sitter! Had to book extremely late and at an unfortunate time (don’t be like me) because the sitter I had flaked last minute. My dog was comfortable with her within the first hour! She’s extremely professional and an all-around great person. I’d definitely book again!”
“They were amazing with Simba! Very attentive, caring, and kept me updated with lots of pictures. I felt at ease knowing he was in great hands. Definitely booking again! 🐾💛”
About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member! My husband and I share our home with Boba, our sweet French Bulldog, who has brought so much joy into our lives. Being a dog parent myself, I understand the importance of routines, patience, affection, and making pets feel comfortable in a new environment. I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I especially enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and making sure they feel loved and secure. My goal is to provide a welcoming, low-volume, home-based experience where your dog receives individualized attention rather than feeling like just another guest at a busy boarding facility. Whether your pup loves cuddling on the couch, playing, or simply relaxing nearby, I'll do my best to make their stay feel like a home away from home! I work remotely, so I'm home throughout much of the day and can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Having a dog of my own, I'm already accustomed to regular feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection! My flexible home-based routine allows me to provide companionship and attention throughout the day, rather than leaving visiting pets alone for extended periods. I offer boarding and daycare based on my availability and intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at once so each guest receives personalized attention. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I provide a welcoming home environment where dogs can relax, play, and receive plenty of individual attention. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to maintain familiar routines and respect each pet's unique needs. I require a meet-and-greet before accepting new boarding guests to ensure they're comfortable with me, my home, and my resident French Bulldog, Boba. I follow each owner's feeding instructions, medication requirements, and care preferences closely. I also supervise interactions between dogs, provide separate feeding spaces, and make sure every pet has a comfortable place to rest. I intentionally keep my bookings limited and provide regular photo updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in caring hands.
“I am so so appreciative of her and her care for Bug!!! My cat was in such great hands. I loved all of the updates as well. He found a new favorite toy at her house, and she let Bug keep it.”
“Gabby was INCREDIBLE! We left our two dogs with her while we had a baby and felt so reassured that they were very well taken care of! She sent many updates and pictures, took them for walks, and played with them so much! We will absolutely be using her in the future for all our trips! 5/5 highly recommend!!”
About: As a former veterinary technician, I bring professional experience, genuine compassion, and a deep understanding of animal care to every pet I look after. I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, comfortable, and truly cared for while you’re away. I offer personalized dog boarding, sitting, and basic training tailored to each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your pup is energetic and playful, prefers a quiet environment, needs extra patience, or simply loves some extra attention, I strive to make their time in my care feel like a home away from home. 🐾 With my veterinary background, I’m also comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or signs that something may not be quite right, giving pet parents an added level of reassurance. My goal is more than simply watching your dog — it’s providing them with loving, attentive care while maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. I have many long term established clients that would love to reach out to you if you wish! I currently provide full-time dog boarding and training from my home, where caring for animals is what I love and do every day. My mornings start with my furry guests, and my days are centered around making sure each dog feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for. 🐾 Every dog has their own unique personality, routine, energy level, and individual needs. I plan my days around each guest so I can provide personalized attention and care while also respecting the specific routines and preferences of my clients. While staying with me, every dog receives plenty of outdoor activity, exercise, playtime, and socialization, with opportunities to interact with myself and other dogs staying in my care. I also have a strong veterinary background from my previous experience as a veterinary technician, giving me additional knowledge and confidence when caring for dogs who require medications, special routines, or extra attention. Dogs with special medical or individual needs are always welcome, and I’m happy to work closely with their owners to make sure those needs are properly accommodated. My goal is to give every dog a comfortable, enriching home-away-from-home experience while giving their owners peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced and caring hands. ❤️🐶 When your dog is in my care, **their safety and well-being are always my top priority.** Dogs staying in my home are supervised throughout the day, both indoors and outdoors, and I strive to provide an environment where they can feel comfortable, secure, and included. I have a spacious, beautiful backyard where the dogs can enjoy plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and play. Inside the home, I provide safe, appropriate toys and activities based on the individual dogs and the dynamics of the group staying with me at the time. I’m mindful of each dog’s personality, play style, size, and needs when deciding what activities and toys are appropriate. On the rare occasion that a dog needs to be left unattended for a short period of time, I offer **large, secure crates** for owners who prefer their dogs to be crated. If an owner prefers that their dog not be crated, I have a designated, dog-safe area of my home where they can relax comfortably and safely while I’m briefly away. In many cases, dogs are even able to **join me when I leave the house**, depending on the owner’s preferences and what is appropriate for their dog\. My own dog is with me nearly everywhere I go, so I’m happy to include boarding guests whenever possible\. Every stay is personalized to the owner’s wishes and their dog’s individual needs\. My goal is to make sure your dog feels like part of the family while you’re away — with plenty of attention, activity, supervision, and, of course, lots of love. 🐾❤️

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.
96% of sitters in Wilkins Run 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 Wilkins Run 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 Wilkins Run.
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 Wilkins Run 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.
