“Jackie watched our sweet and sensitive boy. She was very communicative and our pup was his normal self when we came home which is a great sign. she even took time to walk our pup a few times before we went away, which was super helpful.We feel so much more confident planning trips!”

“Judith made fast friends with our pups and I felt incredibly comfortable with my pups having her as company. She gave them plenty of attention and stuck to their schedule very well. She also provided consistent updates with pictures and videos which helped our peace of mind. The house was left in excellent condition after she left, and she even cleaned a bit. Judith was a fantastic sitting and I would recommend her. We're very thankful.”

“Professional and talented house sitter! We had to leave town last minute and Elisabeth was here on schedule to meet and care for our dogs. She made record progress with our one who can be reactive to strangers, and kept them on their routine while we were away. Thanks and we will definitely rebook in the future.”

“Marideth is wonderful! I get the best pics of my happy pets while we're away and it makes me feel secure, knowing they are being cared for and loved.”

“Ciara was amazing as always! She stayed over with our GSD for the weekend and she gave us constant updates and pictures throughout the entire stay! I would trust her with my babies any day!”

About: My mother had a boarding company so I spent a lot of my childhood helping care for all the doggos. I have also volunteered at numerous shelters & farm sanctuaries & have helped care for even more than just cats & dogs. I also have an 8 year old chocolate lab & 2 five year old kitties myself that I love & care for every day.

I was raised around both cats & dogs & have a very good understanding of how to read both animals. I have a very soft calm aura as well as a lot of love & patience to build trust with the fur babies.
“Haley is hands down, the absolute best, end of story! Our rescue pittie has been with us for about 8 months now and he's come a long way so we decided to see if we could entertain the idea of traveling a bit but know he was in the best care. Haley house sit for us as a trial overnight and our dog immediately took to her calm approach, energy and the care she took while initially meeting him and then as she house sit for us. Her attention to detail, not only to our care guide we put together and her own expertise, but the frequency she communicates, as well as the respect she has for our house and belongings, put us at ease we made the right decision. Can't recommend Haley enough and we are so thankful (and lucky) she is here for Rueben!”

About: Hi! I'm Lee. I've cared for animals for over 20 years, including three dogs of my own, and I've been pet sitting for friends, family, and others for the past four years. I love both cats and dogs and enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. Whether they're playful or cuddly, I focus on helping them feel comfortable and cared for. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away. Every pet receives patience, attention, and plenty of affection. Pet sitting fits into my schedule very naturally because I have a flexible work life as a hairstylist. My days are usually built around client appointments, which allows me to open time for pet care in between services, early mornings, evenings, and sometimes full days when I’m not booked. On lighter workdays, I can take on drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the day. On slower days or weekends, I’m available for longer care or overnight stays. I plan my schedule carefully so I can give each pet my full attention, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for without rushing their time with me. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they are always safe, comfortable, and on a consistent routine. I always provide fresh, clean water throughout the day so pets stay hydrated. For feeding, I keep a structured schedule so they know what to expect—breakfast is served no later than 8:00 AM and dinner is served no later than 6:00 PM, unless the owner provides a different routine. For dogs, I always make sure they are securely on a leash or harness before they step outside. Their safety is my top priority, and I stay alert to make sure they don’t get into anything dangerous, such as trash, bones, or anything on the ground that could harm them. Inside the home, I maintain a pet-friendly environment by keeping an eye on their behavior and making sure they stay away from hazards like electrical wires or anything they could chew or swallow. I also make sure they have a safe space where they can play, relax, and move around comfortably without risk. My goal is always to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel secure, cared for, and at ease while their owners are away.
“Candace was amazing! I was worried leaving my 7 wk old puppy but they did wonderfully! Candace kept me posted with pics and made sure he was well taken care of! Definitely will be using again and recommend!”
About: I love getting to know each individual pet’s personality and needs, and approach them with respect to make them feel comfortable and safe. I have many years of experience with animals who need insulin shots and oral medications, and experience with all ages. I will treat your pets as if they were my own! At home, I have a tripod husky and a cat who has traveled far with me. I go on miles-long walks every day… always with dog treats in my pockets :) I'm currently working from home setting my own schedule, so walking your dog would fit well into my day. If you live near me, an overnight at your place is possible as I like to give my Stormy cat her breakfast and outside grass time by mid morn. I have lots of cat toys in my house for my cat. I hope your dog has toys and if it's just a walk, then a good leash and baggies to collect poop are essential. I am all about fresh water and seeing that their space is just how they like it.
About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was a young child and grew up in a household with several dogs, so I understand that pets are truly family members. I am committed to providing loving, reliable care tailored to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, administering medications, or providing extra attention and comfort for senior dogs, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I’m currently working full time 8:30am-5pm, but I anticipate having more availability during the day in the near future! Best availability would be evenings and weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment and always follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions carefully. I understand that every dog has unique needs and personalities, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have the peace of mind when you’re away!
“Amanda was great with my 2 dogs. Kyra is a handful and she had patience and understanding with both of my dogs. She sent pictures and updated me regularly. I would recommend her and I will be rebooting her again.”

“Nafisa took amazing care of our dogs over the holidays and treated them like family. She sent regular photo and video updates, which we really appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”

“Haley did amazing with our baby, kept us up to date with how things were and when she got there and when she left..very responsive and dependable. Will definitely be using her again :)”

“Nicole was excellent! She kept in touch all day and sent pictures. She offered to stay a little longer when my flight got delayed. My mind was at ease the entire time. Will definitely be using her again to dog sit!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Columbus
Emma had her second stay with Lucy and Polly, and it went great. Emma is so good at sending updates and photos of the girls that I miss them when I'm away. I feel very comfortable with Emma staying with the girls in my home, knowing that they and the house are well cared for.

We had Ciara stay for Memorial Day weekend and she was great with our high maintenance fur babies. ❤️ We have a small dog who is very attached to us and she got him to warm up, play and seemed happy when we got home. We also have an older kitty who gets insulin, and she had no issues administering that. I am definitely going to reach out to Ciara again! She’s great!

We couldn't ask for a better sitter for our pets! Elisabeth is so communicative, with lots of updates and pictures. You can tell she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and both our cat and dog were so comfortable and happy with her. She even handmade a toy for our cat which she still loves playing with, how sweet!

Kayla was a wonderful choice for our two girls Paloma and Ivy. She is kind, thoughtful and detail oriented. She paid close attention to our instructions for our pups and taking care of our fish! We would not hesitate to have her back for another sit and you should not hesitate either!
