“Julia was fantastic! She was kind, compassionate, and caring towards my kitties and she followed my instructions perfectly (since I have a cat that needs medication). She helped ease my anxiety, gave me updated pictures daily, and was quick to respond if I had any comments or questions. I will absolutely be using her services in the future!”
About: I’ve been around all sorts of furry friends, flighty friends, and the scaley ones ect. The love and passion I have has always set me aside from most and I’ve also gathered many different experiences in the animal care field. In my growing path, I’ve worked for the Lorain County Metroparks multiple times and have been volunteering with animals since the age of 16! Pet care fits great into my daily routine due to my part-time career currently and my passion for the animal care field!! I also have 5+ years of animal handling experience/ dieting❤️ I have a fenced in yard all around and also pay attention to daily behaviors and movements. Also prioritize outdoor time and play time as well.
About: I have taken care of and raised my families dogs since I could walk! If your dog needs an extra human best friend, look no further! It is the best part of my day! I have a relatively open schedule aside from traveling on occasion. I am very quick at communicating should anything unexpectedly come up. I’m always focused on each pets needs and how I can make them comfortable. I am great with dogs of all sizes and energy levels!
About: I've always had a deep love for animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I provide patient, dependable care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether it's energetic puppies, playful adult dogs, gentle senior pets, or cats who prefer a calm approach, I tailor my care to each animal. I'm happy to follow feeding schedules, administer basic medications if needed, provide plenty of exercise, playtime, cuddles, and regular updates with photos. I can accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection based on your pet's individual needs. I understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine and will make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding routines, exercise needs, medications, and any special requests. In your home, I respect your space, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a clean environment. I stay alert during walks, use secure leashes and harnesses, and always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving the loving care they deserve.
“Maura was wonderful. She was so attentive and sent amazing pictures. She’s reliable and has amazing communication. I will absolutely be using her in the future and I recommend her 100%!”
“Christina has been awesome spending time to get to know my two dogs, even though one of them is people-phobic. I appreciated her suggestions on ways to try to ensure my little dog takes her medications. She is very caring and enjoyable to work with.”
“Sharon did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond to make sure all their needs were met. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. We would definitely use Sharon again.”
“Erica was amazing! We set up a meet and greet and our cat is very selective of who he immediately goes up to and he wasted no time meeting her. We were able to enjoy our trip and not worry at all if our cat was cared for and well taken care of! Will be using her again! We really appreciated the amount of pictures she sent us.”
“Michelle walked our shy beagle twice now. She is so patient and kind towards her. She even fit Letty in the same day. Michelle is very responsive when you message her. She will always reply in a timely manner. We absolutely be booking Michelle again! Thank you!”
“Kevisha was great! She communicated well and sent pictures of her every visit. We had peace of mind with her tending to our dog. It made being gone much easier on us. Everything was great! I look forward to booking with her again in the future. Thank you for your care!”
“This was the second time Jordan watched my cats and I think they remembered him because they were completely themselves around him. I love his updates from each visit. It makes it a little easier to be away from them. I'll definitely continue booking with Jordan!”
“What can we say but Alicia is great. She does a great job with our blind dog Gonzo who adores her. She's even learned how to administer insulin now that he's been diagnosed with diabetes. Thank you for caring so well for our pups.”

“Kenzie was so wonderful! Our dog is very nervous and she was so amazing with him. We also have a cat with medical issues and she was perfect with him as well. She’s the best!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Kelly! She connected with our dog immediately, and it was so reassuring to see how comfortable our pup was with her right away. Kelly is incredibly professional, always on time, and has a calm, relaxed demeanor that puts both pets and owners at ease. Beyond just watching our dog, she went the extra mile by offering helpful, actionable suggestions on how to handle our dog's pulling during walks, and she even recommended some great, durable toys that are perfect for our "super chewer." We are so happy to have found her and will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities for years. Friends, family, neighbors, and pet parents have trusted me with everything from daily walks and drop ins to overnight stays and extended care. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding, medication, exercise, and bedtime routines, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pet while you’re away, so communication, updates, photos, and lots of love are always part of the package. I do work but make my own schedule and typically it is extremely flexible! If you have any questions about my availability or schedule, don't hesitate to reach out! I keep pets on their regular schedule, offer plenty of potty breaks, playtime, enrichment activities, and all the snuggles they can handle. I make sure the environment is safe, supervised, and tailored to whatever makes your pet happiest whether that’s fetch, cuddles, or naps on a soft blanket. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well being always come first no matter where they are.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Columbia Station
This was the first time ever that I didn't have a family member or a friend stop in and take care of my six cats while I was out of town. Jordan T. did such a great job. He came every day after work hours and scooped boxes, refilled water in two locations, filled dry food when needed, gave cat treats and gave wet food to six cats! I received pictures every day and had great communication from him. There was one day he wasn't going to be able to come at the same time as the other days due to a personal appointment. He sent me a message and asked if I wanted him to come earlier or a little later than he was normally coming. I appreciated the ask! My 6 cats were very content when I returned home from my week long vacation. I'll definitely use him again. It was great not having to worry about them while I was gone!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Columbia Station stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Columbia Station. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
