“I love having Chloe as my pup’s dog walker! She is so friendly and good with animals. She typically walks Ruby longer than the 30 minutes I have booked with her, which I REALLY appreciate!”


“We are so happy to have found Taylor! Our long term walker moved out of state so we have been struggling to find the right one for our large high energy dog who has a big personality! Taylor is reliable, kind, concerned for her well being and takes the time to ask questions to keep her comfortable and happy. Taylor is a great fit for our family!”


“Cannot rave over JoVonna enough 🤍 so thankful for her bright spirit and love for our doggos! She helped us out in a pinch and is such a wonderful addition to our care team.”


About: I've taken care of family dogs, both large and small, since around age twelve. In high school I also cared for a bird, as well as part of my adulthood. In early adulthood I worked for three years as a professional dog handler and dog walker for a company in New York City. I am accustomed to reading dogs body language and keeping them safe and feeling secure. I've lived with cats in more recent years and have consistently been hired to cat sit for neighbors. I am comfortable with elder pets, administering medications, and helping anxious pets feel more comfortable at home and out in the world. I also have some experience with smaller mammals (rabbits, guinea pigs, domestic rats) as well as some farm animals. I am a full-time grad student, so my schedule is much more flexible than a 9-5 worker. That said, at the moment I can only take care of pets who can be alone for at least four hours at a time during the week because of my class schedule (weekends I'm more flexible). You can depend on me to safely enter and exit your home with care for security and cleanliness, and I'd always touch base with you for any concerns. I'm also disabled by long-COVID and take many COVID mitigations (still masking), so I'd be safer for immunocompromised clients. For drop-in visits and popping into your home for a dog walk, I will be masked. For pet sitting overnight, I'm always happy to take a COVID test—just let me know!

About: Due to my active and flexible lifestyle, I am very capable of walking a wide range of dogs from small to large and lazy to hyper. My Australian Shepherd (Covid puppy) does a great job of reminding me to take her on 2-3 walks a day, give her special cuddles and tug on her rope daily. She’s a very smart and trained girl, but just like me, she needs exercise or she’ll get the zoomies! I currently work from home and have good breaks throughout the day, as well as, a flexible schedule giving me the ability to leave my desk and go for a walk or check in on a pup or cat. In my experience walking and taking care of other pets, I’ve been very communicative with what the owner requests. For example, I’ve had opportunities where I’ve had to be very careful about opening the front door because the dog may run out of the house. I’ve also been in positions where I double and triple check if the dog I’m walking is in their harness/leash correctly because they are masterminds when it comes to escaping. If the client is specific with their pet’s needs, I try my best to follow their directions to a tee.


“Cassi provided pictures and updates on my 2 dogs during the drop in walks. She was professional and punctual. My dogs seemed to love her during the meet and greet and walks!”


About: From rescuing a three-legged friend to hosting large scale dog park events, I have experience caring for pets of all ages and abilities! I am passionate about animals getting exercise and engaging play time. ** I work second shift so I am available through the week when most people are at work! I am free most mornings until 1pm everyday. Tuesdays and Wednesdays I do not work so I have more flexibility on those days I treat pets as an extension of myself! I like to have ample space that is cozy as well as activities to keep myself entertained and happy, I believe every pet is entitled to these same privileges. I cater to individual needs of pets, prioritizing the voice of the owner!

About: Welcome to my profile! My name is Emily. I am a wife, a pediatric nurse & newly a mom to a beautiful baby girl. I also have two silly cats named Greta & Beatrice. My life has always involved animals. I grew up with several cats & dogs in my home and love both of them! I am reliable, attentive, and treat every pet with the same care I would give my own. I have hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets who need medication or extra attention. I stick to your routines, watch for the little details, and keep you in the loop with updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy. Hope to hear from you soon & work closely with you and your fur baby! I’m currently on maternity leave with my new baby girl! When I return to work at the hospital in September it will be very part time, so I will have plenty of time to walk, watch or check in on your pets! I am able to be flexible with you & your pets routine! I am happy to come to your home to check in on your pets or walk your dog!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of reliability, patience, and hands-on experience with a wide range of pets. I have worked with energetic puppies who need consistent training and structure, as well as senior dogs who require extra gentleness, attention, and care. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific routines, and adjusting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Beyond basic care, I bring strong communication skills—I keep owners updated so they feel confident their pets are happy and safe. My background working with animals in different settings has made me adaptable, attentive, and proactive, whether that means reinforcing good habits with puppies, providing comfort for older pets, or managing groups of dogs. I currently work at a pet care facility, so caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. Outside of my shifts, I’m available to provide pet sitting and drop-in visits, which allows me to stay flexible while continuing to do something I love. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, playtime, and medication instructions exactly as provided, and I make sure to give extra attention to their favorite spots and habits—whether that’s a window perch, a certain toy, or a bedtime routine. I keep the home tidy, refresh food and water regularly, and make sure the litter box (or yard for dogs) is clean and comfortable. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel connected while they’re away.

About: I have always been an animal person. I have a cat of my own, and I spoil her so much. I am very easy going and will treat your pet like my own I am currently working full time, so I am able to dog sit in the event/on weekends. I am flexible and will make anytime work I have a cat that I keep indoors at all times. I will take care of your pet as if they were my own pet

I can bring your dog there or somewhere closer to your home, whatever you would prefer!

About: I’ve been taking care of pups since I was 12 when my family got our first rescue! He turned out to be 125lbs so I have experience with larger dogs. I’ve had plenty of time with puppies as well! I recently relocated to Columbus from NYC and while I’m on the hunt for my next job opportunity, I figured I’d learn the area via the local canines! I have 2 friendly pups to keep yours company while you’re away! I don’t have a fenced in yard, but the Park of Roses is nearby for outdoor adventures. We have 2 dog crates if your pup prefers his or her own room.

I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with any dog — she’s thoughtful, reliable, and truly passionate about animals.”
Clintonville dog parents share their Rover experiences
Emily was so amazing! This was our first experience with a dog sitter and we couldn’t have found a better person for it. Emily was patient with Murphy and he seemed to look forward to her visit each day. She was always on time and went above and beyond. I would recommend her to anyone, we will definitely book with her again!

We couldn't be happier with Danielle as our dog walker! From the moment we first contacted her, her response time and communication have been excellent. It's such a relief to know we can always reach her and that she keeps us in the loop. Our pitbull, Dottie, absolutely adores Danielle. Dottie can be a strong walker, but Danielle handles her with confidence and care. We especially love the pictures she sends during their walks – it's wonderful to see Dottie enjoying herself and getting great exercise. Danielle truly goes above and beyond, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring dog walker!

Ann was absolutely amazing! She took care of my senior pup, Landy, over the holiday weekend on super short notice, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment we connected, she was responsive, flexible, and clearly a true dog lover. We came home to a happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for doggo. Ann sent updates throughout the stay, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!

Dylan is has always taken great care of my dogs! I find it difficult to find people I trust and he was without a doubt the best fit and find! A friendly face that genuinely loves them and Therefore they love seeing him too. I couldn’t be happier having him care for them. You can relax and rest assured that you are in good hands when Dylan is there.
