About: Former dog mom turned professional pet spoiler. I've been owned by two dogs and regularly watch friends' pets. You'll get LOTS of pictures, adorable updates, and the occasional letter directly from your buddy while you're away. I do work full time, but close to home so I'm out about 9 hours. I'm happy to take on pups that are potty trained. They get breaks and walks in the morning and breaks and walk all evening and night. When I watch dogs, my social life is limited, as I find much more joy loving on your little ones. 😍 I have open availability and am able to watch your pet in my home or yours. I'll treat your dog like my own, spoil them, give them all the love, or as much space as they choose. Your baby is allowed on the furniture and in bed, if they like, and you allow. We follow your rules and your routine, as much as possible, and any diversions from routine will be communicated.
“It's really difficult to trust your baby with someone. But I could tell that Emily really loves dogs and I knew my boy would have a good weekend. I barely checked in because I could tell he was safe and happy when I left him with her. Will definitely be rebooking in the future! Thank you again!”
“Emily was great! This was our first time using a sitter instead of a boarding facility. She was quick to respond to messages and sent pictures. Our girl came home rested and happy instead of stressed out and exhausted from no sleep. Thank you!”
“Victoria was awesome! Super professional upon meeting and was absolutely in love with our Dino. She sent lots of pics, gave our guy frequent walks and was extremely easy to communicate and work with. Bottom line, I'd recommend her to anyone!”
“I can highly recommend Rene and her family! I have boarded my 2 dogs with her twice in the last few months and was very pleased each time! It is easy to see that she and her family are real animal lovers!”
“Lauren and her family were wonderful with our two dogs. She was very communicative and kept us updated while we were on vacation. We enjoyed all the photos with the updates. I especially appreciate the care she took when their arthritis was acting up. We felt comfortable with the dogs in her care and their additional medical needs (medication).”
“Andrew and his family were very welcoming to Dolly, and they sent an update during our trip so we knew she was adjusting. At pick up it was easy to tell that she had become one of the gang. We would recommend Andrew to care for your pet!”
“Our dog Ninja had a great time with Sally. We're not local to Columbus so it was much appreciated to have someone to look after our dog while we attended a family reunion. Next time we are in the are we will be sure to book Sally again.”
“Cody went above and beyond while watching my fur baby! She was able to sit for me while I went on a work trip. She followed all my care instructions and sent pictures daily. He was sad to leave his new friend after an amazing stay with her.”
“Tharatip & Daniel did a fantastic job sitting for Chewie! They sent several pics and videos over the weekend while they watched her. They were treating her like part of their family which is what we were looking for. Thanks again!”
“Dawn was fantastic! She provided daily updates on my dachshund Henry so I knew he was in good hands. She cared for Henry as though he was her own dog. Would definitely rebook with Dawn.”
“Pam and Tallaferro did an amazing job with Shade. I received daily updates and pictures which let me know she was safe. I’d recommend them to any dog owner who’s looking for a safe and fun home for a few days while away for work or a vacation.”
“Mary has watched my fur baby Lady twice, and she is a fantastic sitter. Very warm and caring, Lady immediately took to her, FooFoo and Ellie(forgive me if I misspelled their names). Will definitely use Mary again.”
“Yodie always has a great time staying with Travis and Ginger. Travis is a great sitter, very mindful of what your dog needs and likes, and always stays in touch with updates and pictures! I never have any worries when Yodie stays with him!”
“Michelle and Justin were awesome in taking care of Kali. Communication was perfect and they were very friendly and understanding. Kali always had a smile on her face in the pictures! Thanks so much! 10/10 recommend and will book with again ^_^”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Canal Winchester
Brittany was amazing with our Yorkie, Reese\! She kept us updated throughout his stay, sent plenty of pictures, and made sure he got lots of walks and attention\. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Reese was being well cared for while we were away\. You can tell Reese really enjoyed his time with Brittany and Dior because he definitely misses them\! We’re very happy with the care he received and will absolutely be booking with Brittany again\. Reese is already looking forward to seeing them both again\! Highly recommend!
Karen sent me text message updates regarding my dog’s stay with her. Our dog is usually very wound up from separation anxiety when we pick her up from being boarded, but when we picked her up from Karen and Steve’s house she was calm. We will definitely request Karen again for keeping our beloved pup for our next vacations.
Elizabeth did a wonderful job taking care of Sofie. She even got Sofie to go on a walk, which she usually will do only with me! Elizabeth sent frequent photos as this was Sofie's first time staying with her and her boys. The whole family was very loving and caring towards Sofie.

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 Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
