“Diana is a lovely person and did great with our 2 dogs. This was our first time bringing them to a sitter and she made us feel at ease. She is very communicative and flexible, and sent us daily updates. I highly recommend her and we will definitely be booking again on our next trip!”

“We have a high energy pup! As soon as we handed the leash over to Maureen and saw them briskly walking down the street together, we were confident that our girl was in very good hands! Good communications, really took the time to listen to everything we shared with her about our pup. We highly recommend Maureen and will use her again!”
“Angie was great. She understands cat well. We left our kitten to her place, she took care of her and we didn’t have to worry about her. She was also flexible with the timings which I really appreciate as we were running late from our trip. She shared with us pictures of our cat and we felt relieved.”
“Max loved his time at Alexis’s and playing with her dogs. Her backyard is the place of dreams for dogs! I felt comfortable that Max would be well taken care of during his time there, and I’d love to book with Alexis again in the future.”
“Yuri is simply amazing. I had an emergency and needed to travel, and my dog sitter canceled. She took my dog for boarding within the same hour. My puppy loved her! She sent me pictures and videos everyday, which kept me at ease. My puppy came back so happy and spoiled. I’ll definitely be cooking with her again.”
About: I am very loving and attentive. Dogs who stay with me are taken out for walks multiple times a day! I have experience in giving medication and taking care of elderly cats. I’m currently a student so I have a lot of availability throughout the day since my classes aren’t taxing. My schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate. I live in an apartment in the center of Madison. The Medonta lake is right across from me along with some parks. I am usually at home so I can accommodate with every pet.
“Alexa is truly the best!! She is extremely accommodating and Leo absolutely loves her. She sent picture updates every day of the time we were away and was responsive if we ever needed anything at all. Leo was so sad to be leaving her. We will definitely be using Alexa whenever we need a sitter!”
“incredible dog sitter! Puppies can be a handful, but he was so patient, gentle, and attentive throughout the entire stay. He handled the puppy energy effortlessly and kept me updated the whole time. I truly cannot recommend him enough and will definitely be booking with him again!”
“I had a fantastic experience with this dog boarding provider! From the moment I dropped my pup off, I felt completely at ease. William was kind, patient, and clearly passionate about animals. He provided regular updates, photos, and videos, which truly gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would book him again.”
“We’re so grateful for the amazing care Sujaya gave our dog, Bosston, over the weekend. They were incredibly attentive, especially when Bosston’s belly wasn’t feeling the best and during the fireworks, which usually make him nervous. She went the extra mile to comfort him and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell Bosston was in loving hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!!”
“Omar was wonderful with our English Bulldog! The level of care and attention prior to, during, and after our dog's stay, is in a category of its own. Omar's exceptional! We could see our Belvedere's happiness in every picture and video that we received (and there were many!). We're so grateful to have found him!”
“Valentina is simply the best! She took care of our girls like they were little princesses. They absolutely adore her! She is incredibly kind, loving, and caring, and it’s clear how much love she puts into what she does. We couldn’t recommend her more! ❤️”

“Laura was awesome! She clearly loves dogs and took great care of our dog! From the moment we met her for a pre-stay visit, we knew that she was very mature, loving and responsible. While we were away, she was responsive and kept us updated the whole time. We were gone over Thanksgiving, and she asked if she could include our dog in her families plans and we were thrilled that Huckie had such a warm welcome! We would definitely use Laura again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Worthington
Robert took care of my energetic and very sweet dog, Oscar for a week while my family and I went away. Off the bat at our meet and greet I was confident Oscar was in good hands. It’s clear Rob is a dog lover who makes sure his guest dogs feel at home. Rob communicated quickly and clearly from my initial reservation request to pick up and shared pics while we were away so we knew Oscar was doing well. Before using rover we boarded Oscar and we definitely won’t be doing that again - it was great to know he was comfortable, safe and having fun while we were out of town. Thanks Rob!
We had the best experience with Kaas boarding at Robert’s, would definitely do it again. We received updates of our boy and just felt like he was loved and cared for on his staycation. Big plus is that he has a lovely home/outdoor space and Kaas had two new friends in Arlo and Santi. Thank you ✨
Tabitha and her family took care of our dog Penny for over a week and it was a fantastic experience. She was very communicative / accommodating, would send us daily pictures and videos, and we felt very comfortable with her. You could tell they enjoyed taking care of dogs and treating them as their own. Penny seemed very happy with her stay. We would definitely use them again!
Catherine was amazing with us and our two dogs. We hardy leave them so finding someone who would give them the care, attention, and love they're used to getting always seems daunting. Not with Catherine from our meet and greet, to drop off, pick up, and the time in-between she was fantastic! She sent text, photos, videos, comforting us all along the way. Through those videos we saw wagging tails and smiles, we knew they would in great hands and could relax from worry about them while away. I would highly recommend Catherine, she's professional, kind, knowledgeable about dogs and is highly sought after. We will certainly be using Catherine again. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our little loves ❤️

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.
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.
94% of sitters in Worthington 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 Worthington 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 Worthington.
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 Worthington. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Worthington 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 NY 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.
