“Stacie and Doug are the best! They treated our Westie like the Queen that she is and sent us notes so we could remain connected. We met in advance of our booking to get to know each other and they were very kind when I had some last minute changes to our agenda. Our pup got along very well with their pup and we would recommend them for your pup as well!”
About: I currently have 2 dogs and a cat. I have watched many friend’s dogs and cats for over 20 years and treat everyone’s pets as if they are my own. My teenage boys and I help out with around 10 dogs in our neighborhood when owners are out of town or need just need someone to let their dog out while they are gone for a full day. I am home during the days and am able to spend plenty of time with your pet! I am home during the day and can give them attention all day long! I am able to adjust my day to fit your pet’s needs. Although I do not have a fenced yard (invisible fence only), I’m happy to take them out on a leash. They must be friendly with other dogs and my 2 dogs love making new furry friends! My cat will be indifferent ;) We have an acre yard for dogs to enjoy and I’m willing to take them on walks in local parks for extra exercise too.
“Jenna accommodated me on short notice and provided my dog, Ridley with great care. He was well taken care of and I received many updates as I was out of the country for a vacation. I would recommend her for short and long stays.”
“Cathy kept my rescue puppy,Tanner, for a week. Tanner is generally skiddish of people but warmed right up to Cathy without even trying! You can certainly tell she has a deep passion of caring for animals! We received pictures or videos daily, which was so nice! She even made sure to socialize him with neighbor humans and pets alike!! I will definitely be using Cathy’s services again!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve regularly walked and pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors, giving me experience with a wide variety of dog breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether it’s a leisurely walk or active playtime, I tailor each experience to suit your pet’s needs. I’ve had my cat for the past three years and have grown up around animals, so I’m very comfortable handling pets of all ages and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on creating a safe, loving, and fun environment! I’m reliable, caring, and happy to provide updates, photos, and lots of affection along the way! I’m currently a graduate student with more availability during the weekend. I’m flexible during the week since I make my own schedule. Just let me know. I have a friendly cat who’s comfortable around dogs. My home has a backyard, and I live near parks—perfect for walks, playtime, and a calm, pet-friendly environment.
“If I could give Katlyn 10 stars, I absolutely would! Leaving my Izzi behind while traveling for work isn’t easy, but Katlyn gave me something truly priceless, peace of mind. From the very beginning, I felt completely at ease knowing Izzi was in such loving, capable hands. It’s one thing to have someone watch your dog, but it’s something entirely different to find someone who genuinely cares for your dog as if she were their own. That’s the kind of care Katlyn provides. I never had to worry, and that feeling alone meant the world to me. When someone is entrusted with a little piece of your heart, you hope they’ll understand just how much that responsibility means. Katlyn absolutely does. I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is truly a gem, and Izzi and I are so lucky to have found her!”
“Aspen was simply outstanding. She's experienced, professional and easy to work with. She offered us the peace of mind of knowing our senior hound dog was in good hands during our time away. We strongly recommend her services and will seek to use her again in the future.”
“Great match for us!!! She was waiting for us when I arrived, super nice, replied to my messages right away and sent pictures of Luna (my dog) throughout her stay! Luna will definitely stay again with Martha! I could tell right away Martha knew what she was doing. She walked Luna around outside before she brought her in! Very impressive! I would have never thought to do that!”
“Abby, Mike and Sariyah are great! They are friendly and flexible. I knew Bode would be well taken care of and this was confirmed with the pictures I received. It is so nice to have good people share their home with our sweet Bode. Thanks guys”
“Jenn was fantastic. Nicest woman you’ll ever meet. Her love of animals shows from the first time you speak. She stays in constant communication, sending pictures with updates. If you want someone to love on your pets as much as you do pick Jennifer.”
“Keeley is amazing with my large Bernedoodle, Nori. She has stayed at her home multiple times for extended periods while my family is out of town. Nori gets plenty of exercise in the big yard and is happy as can be to come back again and again. 😊”
“Could not have asked for a better Rover experience. She watched my fairly new adopted buddy, Watson, for a long weekend. As a new dog owner, I was hesitant about using sitter service but Katherine made the process easy. She was very understanding and patient with the mischief a rescue dog may get into. She communicated with me daily with updates and photos via text messages and Watson got to make a few friends during his stay. I would recommend her to friends and would book again.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I’m patient, reliable, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. I pay close attention to instructions, communicate regularly with updates and photos, and make sure every pet receives the care and attention they deserve. I work entirely from home, which gives me a highly flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. I can easily accommodate potty breaks, mid-day walks, and constant companionship throughout the week. My weekends are completely open for extended playtime, boarding, or overnight house sitting. When watching pets in your home, safety and respect for your space are my top priorities. I stick strictly to your established routines, double-check that all doors and gates are secure before and after walks, and keep in constant contact with daily photo updates to give you complete peace of mind. My home is a cozy, pet-friendly space where your dog's safety is my number one priority. While I do not have a fenced yard, I always keep dogs securely leashed during all outdoor bathroom breaks and walks. I strictly follow your feeding routines and provide constant supervision to keep them safe and happy.
“Sarah was great with our pup while we went on vacation—she takes time to introduce the dogs to other doggie friends, is great with communication and our dog came back relaxed and happy. Thank you Sarah!”
“Kyra was fantastic taking care of my mom's dog when she was in the hospital unexpectedly. He is a rescue and very skittish, but Kyra made him feel comfortable and right at home. She also sent photos and updates every day. Highly recommend Kyra for your furry family members!”
“Stephanie was great with Lady. She’s been having issues with her skin and Stephanie took the time to give her a bath to help. She was very patient with Ladies anxiety.”
About: I have dog sitting and dog walking experience and I love dogs and helping to take care of them! I am very reliable and will treat your dog as my own while they are under my care. While my schedule varies, the days/times that I have available for services will be times that I am completely free, so I can provide the attention needed to your dog. I have an apartment with a balcony; my building has a dog run, dog wash, and close access to a park and walking areas. I am happy to learn any individual needs your dog may have to make their time with me safe and comfortable.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Willoughby
Patti and Paul watched our sweet little boy puppy “Mink” for our week long vacation. They cared for him well with much love, play and interaction with other dogs, family members and friends. They shared photos of him daily. They bought him and dressed him in cute little Fall pajamas and brought him to Patterson Fruit Farm. He was well cared for. I will use them again and will recommend them to family and friends.
Maria is truly wonderful, and I highly, highly recommend booking with her! She went above and beyond to take amazing care of our dogs. At first, we were nervous about the idea of leaving them for the first time ever, but we were able to enjoy our vacation because we knew our girls were in really good hands. From our meet and greet to daily updates and photos, to Maria’s attention to detail and professionalism, we had the best experience ever working with her. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our babies!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
