House Sitting in Canal Winchester

“Melanie did a great job looking after my two pups plus my girlfriend's dog on short notice. She was flexible and very attentive to the dogs. I would absolutely hire her to watch my guys again -- highly recommended.”

“Laura is amazing! We have not been able to go on a family vacation in more than 6-years because of our dog's health issues. Laura took awesome care of our GSD. She was willing to come over for meet and greets prior to our trip, and cared about every detail of her visit with Rizzo from start to finish. During our trip Laura sent us pictures of Rizzo everyday and included a summary of how he was doing each day. I truly appreciated how she stayed in communication with us and helped even with things I had forgotten to tell her; like when he eats grass and leave a gift in the frontroom;) I am so thankful we found Laura and we can trust her to dog and house sit. She did a great job, and Rizzo found a new friend to play fetch with his favorite wrench. She truly spoiled him!”

“Aniyah was great with Rylie and kept us updated throughout the time we were gone!”

“Kayleigh was wonderful! She stayed overnight with my 2 dogs and took great care of them. She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated without me having to ask which gave me great peace of mind. She communicated great and would definitely use her again.”

“Lynn was great! Punctual and was very committed to learning our schedule and everything about Yuri. Yuri can be a little skittish when meeting new people but she took the time to get to know him and he warmed up to her! Left the house in great condition and kept us up to date with lots of cute pictures.”

About: I have extensive experience with cat hospice and palliative care, fostered kittens, plus a pet parent to many cats, dogs, hedgehog, guinea pig, button quail and hamsters along the way. I have volunteered for Madison Co Humane Society, Cozy Cat Cottage and Cat Welfare (as well as worked at Cat Welfare). I can administer medication, problem solve issues with stress and loss of appetite. My home is quiet, which is an ideal environment for cats, I also have attended many training classes for dog training and cat related care and disease management. I have contacts with vet professionals and Med Vet is across the street from my home. *I based my rates on local boarding rates with other boarding facilities. My rates are competitive but where I stand out is the dedication to one family at a time and your pet will have full access to an entire room the entire stay. NO Cages here!!** Volunteering with Cozy Cat Cottage and employment with Cat Welfare Ohio serves as proof of my love and dedication to pets and my extensive experience with Cats in particular. I have been a Hospice Foster for cats and I am able to administer meds and typically do nail trims and ear cleaning. I don't believe in stressing out my visitors and I do all I can to make their stay enjoyable and relaxing. Difficult cats are my specialty and I have forged relationships with some of the spiciest cats in town. I work full time from home. My position is flexible so I am able to come and go from my work which is ideal for taking play breaks and checking in on my furry visitors. I have an office that is in a quiet space with no other animals permitted. Your pet will have free run of this room; no cages, no stress. There is a heated bed, a chair near a sunny window, a sofa and I keep a nanny cam on for night time or if I am out of the house. I have 3 dogs of my own, 4 cats, and two turtles. I do not have children so they get all my attention. All of my own animals are kept completely and safety separate from boarders. I am flexible with drop in visits and boarding in your home. Their safety is my priority. I have a room dedicated to boarding that is on the 2nd floor of my house and it happens to be my office. I clean boxes 3x a day and sanitize bowls, vacuum and mop with pet safe floor cleaner each day. Brushing and play time are a given! If you would like a nail trim and ear cleaning, I can do that for a small fee. I will not stress an animal out-so if they appear too upset for this service, I will refund the fee. The room has a generous window for natural light and it is upstairs far away from the dogs-with a gated stair case so no dogs or my own cats are able to be in the room. I am not shy to say that I have a magic connection with cats. So when they stay with me, they are right at home in no time. I am conscientious of their well being and I monitor bathroom, eating ,water intake and behavior. YOU are promised to get daily photos, videos and updates. Working with animals for so long has provided me with experience and an eye for when things don't seem right. I am fortunate that every boarder I have stay is pleased with the level of care and I take pride in making pet parents feel at ease for trusting me.

“Allison was such a great help with my two dogs for an extended stay 7 day overnight sitting! She kept me updated each morning and evening which helped ease my mind as my one dog is suffering from cancer and I was very hesitant leaving him for so long. She made sure he ate multiple times a day and was comfortable. I will definitely use her again!”

“Alexis was great! This was our first Rover experience and Alexis made us feel at ease. She sent us updates throughout each day and our dogs loved her. We will definitely use her in the future!”

“Melissa has a heart of love for animals. I have a large Black and Tan Coonhound that loves lots of walks. Melissa was able to have my large dog stay with her and provide the love and attention that he needed. It has become very apparent that they have a special bond. I have seen her connection with 3 other animals (2 dogs and a cat) that leads me to believe that she truly knows how to connect and bond with them in a loving way.”

“We highly recommend Gabby if you ever need someone to watch your pups! She communicated with us the whole time and made sure our boys were taken great care of! If we ever need someone to watch them again, we will definitely use her another time!”

“Marisa was fantastic! We are new to Columbus and we're nervous about leaving our dogs with someone we didn't really know. But Marisa made it amazingly easy! She kept us updated and sent pictures and went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable before we left. 100% would recommend her to anyone!!”

“Jasmine was fantastic! She took exceptional care of our dog Baker while we took a day trip. We will not hesitate to call her again to watch Baker. Thanks for everything Jasmine!”

“Marley is great! I always feel at ease when my sweet Danaerys is in her care. Marley is very attentive with Danaerys and sends numerous updates, which I greatly appreciate. Danaerys loves spending time with her and Kole and never wants to leave. Trust that your pet is in good hands!”

“Christiana has provided consistent reliable care to my cat over the past few years. She is attentive, caring and always looking to make the best decision for my cat's care. Her calming presence was especially helpful for my cat when I was gone for a three week period of time. She played with my cat, made sure her diet was followed to a T, and gave her snuggles galore. I would highly recommend her for a pet caregiver!”

“Michael stayed at my home for 4 days to take care of my two large mutts and I would definitely have him back! Very respectful and communicative; he even went above and beyond to take the dogs out of the house for a few hours for an unexpected circumstance!”

“Kelsey was great and our dogs loved her. We felt super comfortable leaving them with her after meeting her, and will definitely be scheduling with her again next time if she's available.”

“I want to take the time out to thank Therrin for taking good care of my fur babies (4 dogs and a cat). I was very comfortable and confident he was the perfect pet sitter for the job. I have very high maintenance babies, one 15 years old, my wild child and one with diabetes. He had the patience I was looking for that ensured me my babies were not going to be neglected . I will definitely use him again in the future.”

About: I used to work at all tails are wagging. I work in the daycare and in the kennel. The daycare I play with all the dogs and just watch them and get pictures of them. The kennel I love on the dogs and clean their rooms and also get pictures for their owners because I know they miss them. I’ll also send pictures to you of your pet while we go on walks or while I watch them just so you know they’re okay and having fun. I love playing with the dogs and giving them lots of love. I also have two dogs of my own who I love dearly. I’ll treat your pet like my own. They will be in safe hands with me. I promise. I’m currently working full time at a vet office (Also if I get a notice soon enough I’ll gladly take off work to be with your babies full time of needed) I make sure to send pictures of your fur babies to you and will make sure your babies feel at home while your gone. I know being away from them sucks so I want to make it not suck as much for both you and your baby

About: $20 OFF your first booking with Rover! Just ask about my code! Hello, all! My name is Bethany, and I'm a student working between school breaks wanting to care for your pets. I've had dogs all my life and currently have three with my family--An English Springer Spaniel, an English Springer Spaniel mix, and a Cocker Spaniel, all rescues. I've cared for pets my whole life in some form, and I've been a Rover sitter for two years and counting. Whether it's your first time using Rover or you're an expert, I'd love to work with you and your pets! I primarily do drop-ins over breaks while I'm home from college (go Bucks!) so if you're looking for some care for your fur babies while you're away, please feel free to reach out. I'm flexible with days and times, and all my availability is marked on my calendar. I also now offer house-sitting, which includes overnight stays and drop-ins throughout the day. With house-sitting, I do stay overnight but am in and out throughout the day. If your pets need 24/7 care, there will be an extra charge. If you have any questions about my services, rates, or anything else, don't hesitate to contact me! I only work during the holidays as I know it's a very busy time when I'm home from school and have the time to dedicate to your pets. I have reliable transportation and don't bite off more than I can chew so your pet can get the focused care they deserve. I do, however, get many bookings over the course of a week and ask for flexibility for my arrival times with your pets as sometimes times conflict or run close to each other. While in your home, I use the Rover cards to send updates on how your pet is and what care they get while I'm there with them. This includes pictures, details on care and play, and anything else you request. I strive to give your pets the care they need and you the peace of mind that your home and pets are taken care of. My rates are reflected on my profile, but please note my hours: +$5 for each visit out of my regular service times (8 AM to 9 PM). I cannot work between the hours of 10:30 PM and 7:00 AM. If you need more than 2 visits daily for your pets and live further than is convenient, I may offer you consider my house-sitting services.
