About: I have been a dog lover my entire life. I am known as the dog whisperer. It' is rumored amongst pets of the existence of a dog petter who has the most loving energy. Many dogs only believe it to be legend. It is a real live person. It is me the dog whisperer. I have experience walking, administering meds through mouth and providing exercise and treats. There is no pet to big or small. I love them all. I have a rather flexible schedule due to working online. Only times I am not available when traveling for business as host for a travel group. I care for pets to the instructions of the pet owner. I know most dogs that are properly cared for require a lot of attention and prefer to be in the company of someone. I enjoy the company and love to give quality time to dogs. Such as playing fetch tug a war or long walks.
“Brooke was absolutely amazing with our babies! We were scared to leave them with someone that wasn't family or a friend but she eased those scares! She sent plenty of pics & always made sure to ask before giving something to the pups or doing walks with them ! We will definitely book her again in the future!!!! Thanks for being such a sweet soul to our babies! 😊”
“This is the second time Kyla has watched my fur babies and she is the best! She agreed to watch them on super short notice, she got to the check-ins on time, she was very communicative, she took the most amazing photos of my pets (seriously, she should be an animal photographer) where my pets look very happy and content, and she is very easy and fun to work with. As a bonus, she also cleaned our cats' litter boxes while she was there (even though she totally didn't need to because were only gone for a few days). All in all, highly recommend!! ☺️”
“Estefani is such a wonderful and attentive sitter! She is always so considerate and we would book with her again anytime - cannot recommend her enough!”
“Zack was amazing with my cat! This was my first time using Rover, and he went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable with the process. He was extremely communicative while I was away and kept me informed about everything going on with Phileas. The daily photos were such a bonus and really put my mind at ease.”
“Katraya has helped me out all summer twice a week. I honestly believe my pup loves her more than me now. She communicates effectively and loves on the pup like she’s hers. I highly recommend her.”
About: With over 15 caring for my childhood dog, and being a frequent cat sitter for friends look no further for your friendly neighborhood pet sitter! I am currently looking for weekend and afternoon jobs. Depending on your location, I may be able to stay overnight for services! Let’s chat to see what works for us both! As a Clinical Psychologist, I take pride in my job and apply my ethical code of conduct in and out of the therapy room. You and your pets will be in good hands!
“Jodi was awesome! You can tell she's an animal person through and through. She was incredibly kind and helpful. She went above and beyond in helping us get connected to another sitter, who was actually closer to our home, and made sure we had coverage for our whole trip. She stopped by our house for a meet and greet, and was so patient in meeting our cats. I would absolutely recommend her to take care of your pets!”
“If I could give Trisha 10 stars, I would!!! She is absolutely wonderful...a kindred spirit to my two dogs. She spent meaningful time with them, played with them, walked them, watched TV with them (the shows THEY like to watch!). I was nervous because we have never used a dog sitter before--our dogs are like our children. But Trisha just felt right, and she did not disappoint. I did not even have a chance to worry about our fur babies--Trisha kept us updated with charming photos and captions that showed how much she was caring for and caring about our babies. I recommend Trisha 1,000%, although I do so hesitantly, as I always would like for her to be available for our pups! ;) Thank you, Trisha. Mercy and Tink look forward to your next "visit!"”

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, and other animals since I was about 15 years old. I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I also have experience working as a beginner-level dog groomer, which gave me even more hands-on experience with dogs and their individual needs. I eventually left grooming to pursue my career as a CNA, but my love for animals has never gone away. I’m patient, responsible, and caring, and I would love the opportunity to treat your pets like they’re my own! My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care\. I understand that every owner has different schedules and needs, and I’m willing to work around those schedules whenever possible\. My flexibility makes me a great fit because I can provide consistent, dependable care without rushing or leaving pets alone for long periods of time\. I’m happy to give each animal the attention, love, exercise, and care they deserve while their owners are away\. want every pet and pet owner to feel comfortable and confident when choosing me for their pet’s care. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved pet, so I treat every animal with patience, attention, and the same love and care I would want for my own.
About: I have been around animals my whole life, I have taken care of cats, dogs and many small pets and exotics.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and have always been the one to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and cared for. I’m currently a proud cat mom to two cats who are quite literally my children, I truly believe pets are family and deserve all the love in the world. ❤️ My friends and family regularly trust me to look after their pets because they know how much I genuinely love animals. I even originally dreamed of becoming a veterinarian before pursuing my passion for fashion design! No matter what kind of pet you have, I’ll treat them like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and give them all the love and attention they deserve! 🐾 I work from home half of the week, which gives me extra flexibility to spend time with your pets!

I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same love and respect I give my own two cats!
About: What sets me apart is that I bring more than basic pet-sitting experience to the table. I have real hands-on experience with dogs of all kinds, including puppies, higher-drive dogs, and dogs that do best with structure, consistency, and confident handling. I pay attention to the individual dog in front of me and believe good care is not one-size-fits-all. Some dogs need a quiet, steady environment. Some need routine and clear boundaries to feel settled. My goal is to make their stay safe, smooth, and well managed while giving owners real peace of mind. For longer stays, select a la carte training may also be available for pet parents who want to add a little more value to their dog’s time with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because dogs are already a big part of my life. Dogs staying with me are not an afterthought or just added into the background of my day. I build my schedule in a way that allows me to be attentive, consistent, and intentional about the care they receive. My goal is for dogs in my care to be well looked after, well handled, and part of a structured daily rhythm that helps them feel settled, safe and secure. So YOU can have a breath of fresh air during you travels. I also value clear communication and reliability. I can be flexible with Drop-off and pick-up times but unless communicated (and agreed) at the time of booking I do expect to follow the agreed upon appointment prior to booking so everything stays smooth, respectful, and well managed for both the dogs and the people involved. Nobody can prevent the unexpected, I just ask that you keep in communication because I do run my wife to and from doctor appointments and sometimes I take the dogs out on adventures. Safety, trust, and thoughtful management matter a lot in my home and in the way I care for dogs. I have a fenced backyard, my own dogs, and a setup built around keeping dogs safe, comfortable, and well managed. My family also have our own dogs, including Belgian Malinois and a Border Collie. Because every dog is different, I do not automatically allow dogs to mix or play together, especially when I am meeting a dog for the first time. Unless dogs come in together as part of the same family, they are typically kept separate from other client dogs and from my personal dogs for safety reasons. My goal is to avoid unnecessary risk and give each dog a calm, well-managed stay. If an owner strongly wants their dog to have playtime with another dog, that would only happen carefully, with a dog I know well, that I believe is an appropriate match, and with close supervision at all times. Safety comes first. I would rather be cautious than make a preventable mistake and have to tell an owner their dog was injured. Dogs are also fed separately in a secure, peaceful environment so they can eat and rest without pressure, competition, or stress. I keep numbers limited and generally do not take more than five dogs at a time, and there are times when there are no visiting dogs at all besides my own. Depending on the timing, some dogs may have a very quiet stay with plenty of space and individual attention. Dogs are allowed on furniture in my home, but I respect the owner’s rules. If your dog is not allowed on furniture at home and you want that maintained during their stay, I will honor that. I believe consistency matters. For drop-in visits, care is provided in the client’s home and can include feeding, fresh water, medication, potty breaks, playtime, cleanup of any messes made during the visit, bringing in mail, and watering plants. Waste pickup from that day’s visit is included, and extra yard cleanup can be added for an additional fee if needed. Structured walks may also be available. Because of my training background, walks and drop-ins can offer more than basic supervision when appropriate, with added structure and useful handling built into the visit.
“Baileigh was such a kind and caring dog sitter! She was so accommodating and flexible to our dog’s special needs. The communication and updates gave us such peace of mind the entire time we were away ! She was also very respectful of our home and very considerate.”
About: Hello Rover! Where do I begin. I have been animal crazy since I was able to talk - my mom use to brag about my favorite channel being animal planet 😂. College wasn’t my speed, so instead - I opened a pet care business! Things were absolutely amazing… until Covid. Nobody needed me anymore and I had to provide for my fur family. We continued to help with rescues (at this point I have personally fostered about 170 pets) but had to shift gears for my career! Now - I’m 4 years into a fast pace sales job selling new build homes all over Columbus! I miss my time with the fur babies deeply. So I'm back! Not full time - but I’m hopeful to see some of your kiddos on my days off while getting my steps in!! Experienced in quite literally everything, new born to hospice. Chi chi to Great Dane. Perfect walkers to strong pullers! Oh, and I have 6 personal dogs so bring on the “full households”! Looking forward to meeting you and your furbabies soon! 😁 Thursdays and Fridays are my current days off! Hoping to schedule a few walks or visits on these days. Open to visits before or after work (11-6) the other days as well! Today, I am not offering services in my home but we are building a home where this will be offered! For now, my care will be in the clients home and following their instructions!
“Nechvy did an amazing job looking after my fur-baby! She followed the care instructions to the letter and was very accommodating to mine and my kitty's needs! She is a very kind and thoughtful towards the care of my pet and goes above and beyond!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Blacklick
Tamara did a fantastic job taking care of our two dogs for a week of drop-in visits. Our dogs loved her and she clearly has a great sense of how to connect with dogs and other animals. She is incredibly conscientious, always on time, does a great write-up of each visit and takes lots of fantastic pictures too. She was also so flexible and kind as we had a huge storm hit that knocked out power for two days; she was great about rescheduling promptly due to the changes in our schedule that resulted. I can highly recommend Tamara without reservation.
Aspen was absolutely fantastic watching Enzo for 4 days! From the very beginning, she was communicative, reliable, and put my mind completely at ease while I was away. She sent the cutest picture updates and treated Enzo like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Blacklick choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
