About: My father and grandfather bred, trained, and worked world championship racoon hunting dogs, Blue and Red Tick hounds specifically, for much of my life. I was raised mucking kennels and running aggressive working dogs. I'm no hunter, but I embrace the legacy of working with and training dogs that runs in my family. My own dog, Geiger knows approximately 150 words and commands and i'm always teaching him new tricks! I'd be thrilled to work with, stay with, or just take a walk with your dog, no matter what their size or needs are. Right now i'm relatively free and open up a variety of schedules, in the Columbus area and surrounding communities. I can work with you on availability. I take the utmost care to leave your home and your pet in the best shape I can . My own dog, Geiger loves small dogs and is very gentle with them. Larger dogs he's either friendly or way more interested in playing ball or tug of war than wrestling.

Rebecca was available on super short notice and did an amazing job feeding and letting our little guy out! He was in a new environment and a little unsure but Rebecca handled the situation easily. Very grateful and would definitely recommend highly to anyone!

Felicia did a great job checking in on our cat and loving on her while we were out of town. She checked in with us via text every day and sent us pictures. Would recommend her to others, she is a caring and professional sitter!

I have a clean home where dogs can play and relax. I also have friendly dogs who can keep your pup company if they enjoy being social. I’m able to crate your dog if needed and will always follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special care. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and treated like family at all times.

About: I’ve grown up rescuing animals from unfortunate events my entire life. I currently have 6 cats and 3 dogs , all rescued. They range from 7 months - 9 years in age. I work Fulltime from home, 9-5 Monday - Friday with plenty of down time to help everyone with their littles !! I have plenty of free time to help with necessities. My cats are indoor / outdoor , so they get out just like my dogs. My cats stay out longer then my dogs. But my dogs get let out every 1-2 hours. Depending on their needs. My puppy is every hour because she’s young and my older dogs prefer every 2 hours.

About: I have an older dog named Ash I’ve had since he was a puppy. I have since then adopted two kitties named Luigi and Jo and a new dog named Calypso! I have also pet sit for years for close friends. I have also been a kennel tech for around half a year! I can give your pets any meds they may need and play with your higher energy pets! The doggy daycare I work for is about to close, so I will have plenty of time to let your dogs out! I also prefer working weekends. I will always make sure to respect your pets space and boundaries, but make sure they are safe! Making sure to follow specific care instructions is really important to me.

About: Reliable dog care from a boarding kennel worker with hands-on experience in daily care, routines, and behavior. Beginning AKC training soon. With some veterinary experience as well. I have a flexible schedule as a full-time student, so I can stop by before or after classes for walks, feeding, medications, bathroom breaks, and other care needs. I’m happy to help with weekend visits and can do overnight stays when possible. I’m comfortable traveling up to about 25 miles for pet care. I treat every pet like part of my family, giving plenty of attention, love, and consistency. Inside my home, I maintain a clean, safe, and comfortable environment, following each pet’s routine for meals, bathroom breaks, play, and rest. I’m attentive to behavior, health, and individual needs, and I make sure pets feel secure, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. My reliability, patience, and flexibility help me provide personalized care that puts both pets and owners at ease.

About: Not only am I a mother of three furry friends, but I also take the time and effort to consider each pets needs based on their age, comfort level, and personality. Please don’t be worried that because I’m new to Rover I won’t be able to carry out good care. Caring for animals (even farm animals), has been something that’s been carried throughout my family. I will make sure your pet gets stimulated the way YOU want. Whether that’s walks or relaxation. Or whether that’s helping a puppy get adjusted to the leash correctly. I have passion for this field, as well as love for the animals. My average day consists of not only caring for myself, but my furry friends as well. Taking care of animals helps me get set up for my future career, (vet tech) as I’m currently enrolled in colleges courses. My pets travel with me, but when I’m assigned to others care I will occasionally leave them at home. When I’m at home, my babies get all of my attention and as many belly rubs as they want. Safety around animals is a huge component of sitting. I would not just trust anybody with my babies. Supervision 100% of the time I’m in charge of the furry friends. I never want to overstep an animals patience, so learning to trust and cater to the animal is something I’ve adapted to doing. When I’m at others homes, I always take into consideration each pets comfort levels and needs so I can make sure they’re taken care of as much as possible.

About: Hi there! My name is Reg, and any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had my Scottish Terrier, my Chihuahua, my toy poodle, and my cat. I also helped my parents with the animals on our farm. We cared for chickens, ducks, pigs, and rabbits. From pet sitting, long or short walks, playing at the park, and of course taking care of our own pets, I’ve got experience with it all! I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. Our pups were rescued as well, with little training, so teaching them tricks was always a fun time! I am not currently working. Both my children will be going to school this year, so I will have some free time from the hours of 8 am and 4 pm to take care of all of your pet's needs! Follow the guidance the owner has given me. Carefully go over any special accomidations needed, and medications that may be needed, and ask questions if I dont understand. I like to stay in contact with the owner to give updates on their fur babies so that they know they are safe and happy.

About: I grew up with huskies, labs, and German shepherds. I’m familiar with escape artist breeds and how closely they must be monitored. I’ve watched most every size dog from Yorkies to Bernese mountain dogs. I work from home and I have the flexibility to take a dog out once an hour if need be. I currently have one husky and she goes out to play every hour or two depending on her mood. I have a fenced in yard and I always stay outside with my dog while she’s outside and I will do the same with your dog. I have a crate for a large dog that’s already set up. When on a walk I will always keep the dog on a leash, even if you say it’s okay to let them off, I’m going to keep them on a leash because dogs behave differently with new people sometimes.

About: My entire life I have always had an animal in my home. This is the biggest reason for my positive mind set an attitude towards animals. I am a strong believer that your pet is your baby. I’m currently working part time while attempting to get my real estate license as well. This gives me a very flexible schedule to be available when needed the best times for me are between 7 AM - 10 AM and 3 PM-6 PM Monday through Friday. On occasion, I am also available on the weekends. I currently have two cats and a dog that love and play with each other deeply. I love seeing the connection that these furbabies have with not only me but each other.

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember! I grew up dog-sitting for neighbors and can provide a lot of experience when it comes to caring for your pet(s). I work Monday through Friday, so I’m aiming to sit on the weekends. But if you don’t mind that I’m gone during the day on weekdays, I’m happy to sit for you anytime of the week. I have a large fenced in yard for potty breaks and usually do at least one long walk a day. My cat has her own room where she stays (separate from dogs) when I’m not home or if there is a need to keep her separate. Dogs are welcome in the bed and on couches!
