“KIrsten did a great job keeping my dog. i had a meet and greet before trip so I knew my dog would be in great hands. She was quick at responding and sent me pictures and updates. Kirsten was helpful when my plans changed and i needed to update dates. Will definitely rebook.”
“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.”
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.

Taylor, thank you so much for making this one less thing for me to worry about during my travel!”

“This being my very first time using Rover. Nate & Aylissia were amazing caring for our sweet girl Gia. They communicate in a timely manner. Appreciate them doing a video meet and an in-person meet & greet. Also appreciated the pics/videos they shared of Gia. Seems she became best buds with their dog Jasper. Our fur babies are just like our children. Thank You to you both for opening up your home and giving Gia the same love and care as she receives at home. Look forward to using you all again in the future. Blessings!!”
“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!”

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.
“Lindsey was friendly, helpful and responsive both before and during my dog's stay. She took fantastic care her and sent me photos and updates regularly. Drop-off and pickup was easy to coordinate. And I love that Lindsey doesn't live far from me in German Village, but I would happily drive across town to have her as our sitter.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I’ve cared for dogs for years through personal and professional experience. I’ve worked for multiple veterinary offices, taken vet tech courses, and worked at PetSuites, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, potty breaks, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m patient, dependable, and I’ll treat your pet like one of my own. IMPORTANT: For boarding, I want every pet to have a safe and comfortable stay, so I do have a few requirements. Pets must be house trained, comfortable with children (preferably around young children daily), and owners must provide a crate for overnight stays if their pet is crate trained or may need one for safety and rest. I’m unable to accept unspayed or unneutered pets at this time. I also ask owners to leave clear written instructions for feeding, medications, routines, and any behaviors or special needs so I can provide the best care possible. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I can work with your pet’s usual routine as much as possible. I know how important consistency is, so I’ll make sure they get lots of care, attention, potty breaks, and love while you’re away. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you leave. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to your pet’s needs, and I’ll make sure they get lots of love, patience, and care while you’re away.

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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wilkins Run. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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 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.
