“Avery was a Godsend to us!! She and her family treated Cocoa as if she was part of their family. She sent me messages throughout her stay letting us know how Cocoa was doing and little bits of information that we loved! We would definitely book her again!”
“Dawn did a great job! She sent updates with pictures daily, which we really appreciated. It was nice having someone that you could tell really enjoyed what she does! We had no worries leaving him.”
“Megan and David are amazing! I was so nervous to leave my older girl with her high maintenance health care needs, but I was able to have a relaxing trip knowing she was in good hands. They have a ton of animal care experience and the sweetest dog who was so patient; my girl was able to fit right in with the family. They are quick to respond and gave me daily updates with pictures. I couldn't recommend them enough and hope they are available the next time my pup needs a home away from home.”
“Highly recommend! Great care and affordable. I received pictures and video of my dog during her stay. It was like having her stay with family. Already planning to bring my dog back for our next trip. Thanks Richelle!”
“April was a great puppy sitter. I have a 4 month old miniature poodle. HOLLY. Holly fell in love with April. I can tell Holly was very well cared for. I will be using her again. Highly recommend. I loved she sent Pics daily.”
“Michelle was an excellent dog sitter. We knew Cookie was in safe hands while we enjoyed some Fall camping. When I got back into cell phone service on Sunday I was greeted with dozens of pictures of Cookie having fun and going for walks. He got a bath as well, and smells lovely. :-)”
“Look no further!! Barbara is your best option. She met our dogs and asked questions about them before we dropped them off so there was great communication and Connection. She messaged every day with pictures and updates. The dogs absolutely love her. On day one they were already cuddling! Thank you, Barbara for being amazing!”
“Paige and Steve and their family were wonderful in caring for Mango! They provided regular updates and quick responses. Mango had the best time running around and playing with the kids. I would highly recommend their services and would not hesitate to book again.”
“Debbie was all that our girl, Rose needed and more! We were thrilled with the care that Debbie and hubby Randy provided for her. Rose is a rescue and used to being an "only child" and Debbie worked with us and our needs. Debbie was so kind to send us pics and videos while we were away showing that Rose loved her temporary home with Debbie and Randy and she can't wait to visit again when we are away for spring break! :) Thank you, Debbie!”
“Louie had so much fun with Blake and the whole family. Katie was attentive, flexible and made sure to check in for our reassurance. This was Louie’s first time away from us so we are incredibly grateful for the care he received. We look forward to next time.”
“From the moment we met Paula and Thom, I could tell Greta felt comfortable in their presence. She loved the log cabin, the woods, and all the new smells. When I picked Greta up, she seemed right at home and she was VERY the lazy the rest of the day. She obviously has a great time! Can’t wait to use this great couple again!”
“Hazbleydy I. & her husband were great! My dog can be very anxious and is usually not fond of new people but she had a great time at their house. Hazbleydy kept me updated with pictures the entire time, and even went out to get supplies for my dog that had ran out of during the stay. I would highly recommend her!”
“Dani and Jathan were amazing. Being able to enjoy our soccer weekend without worry of our little guy was such a relief! Such incredible people and I’m so happy we found our forever doggy sitter!!! Thank you both!!!”
“I wanted to share my immense gratitude for the outstanding care you've provided to Mocha during his stays with you through Rover. Your passion for animals truly shines through, and it's evident that Mocha not only receives top-notch care but also experiences genuine love and attention. Your updates and photos are not only a delightful touch but also a testament to your commitment to keeping pet owners like myself informed and reassured. It's clear that you go above and beyond to make Mocha feel comfortable and happy in your care. I appreciate your reliability and the peace of mind you provide, knowing that Mocha is in such capable and caring hands. Your attention to detail, from his walks to his feeding routine, does not go unnoticed and is sincerely valued. Thank you, Natasa, for being an exceptional Rover caregiver. I highly recommend your services to anyone seeking a dedicated and trustworthy individual to look after their furry friends.”
“Susan took great care of our 2 miniature schnauzers while we were away. She sent pictures multiple times a day so we always knew what the dogs had been up to and could see they were doing well! Thanks for taking care of our dogs like they were your own while we were away!”
“Best experience I have ever had with a sitter! Dani watched my 2 boxers and loved them like they were her own. She is extremely experienced with dog behavior and knew how to care for my temperamental female boxer. I will definitely be using Dani again!!”
About: With over 15 years of hands on experience fostering more than 80 dogs, I've cared for puppies, seniors, medical cases, and dogs needing extra patience, confidence building, and socialization. Every dog is an individual, and I enjoy getting to know their unique personality and routine. I actively train (and occasionally compete) in agility, herding, trick training, scent and others with my dogs as well as helping introduce others to CPE Agility as an instructor at Clermont County Dog Training Club. This experience has given me a strong understanding of canine body language, safe introductions, and enrichment. I provide a calm, home based boarding experience with plenty of individual attention. I'm comfortable administering most medications, happy to follow your dog's routine, and require a meet-and-greet before every first stay. To ensure personalized care, I accept a maximum of two guest dogs (40 lbs or less) at a time. I work from home, so your dog will have company and supervision throughout the day. Guest dogs are rarely left alone for more than a couple of hours, and if I do need to step out, all dogs are safely crated for everyone's security. Outside breaks are offered every 2–3 hours (or more often if needed), with plenty of opportunities for sniffing, play, and relaxation. Most days include two walks, enrichment activities, and, when weather permits, a longer hike or adventure around the adjoining 150-acre property using secure long lines. Dogs who enjoy the water may also have the opportunity to splash in the pond or explore the creek with owner approval. Every dog's activity level is adjusted based on their age, fitness, personality, and your preferences. Your dog's safety and comfort always come first. Every new guest is required to complete a meet-and-greet before booking so we can make sure everyone is a good fit. Because my own dogs share the home, I look for guests who are dog-friendly or dog-tolerant. New dogs are introduced gradually, and crate-free time with my dogs only happens after I've assessed everyone's comfort and temperament. Dogs are continuously supervised while together, and I carefully manage interactions to keep the environment calm and positive. My home features approximately half an acre of securely fenced outdoor space, along with access to 150 acres for on-leash adventures. Guest dogs are never off leash outside the fenced yard; long lines are always used when exploring. Dogs are welcome on the furniture unless you prefer otherwise, and I'll happily follow your household routines and care instructions to help your dog feel at home. Please note this is a hobby farm with chickens and sheep on the premise. They will be secured away from the guest dogs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Winkle 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 Winkle.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Winkle 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.
