“Christina did an amazing job watching our three senior dogs while staying at our house. She sent pictures and videos and was very responsive. We will definitely be using her going forward!”

“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!”
“Haley took care of our dogs while we were on vacation. We were able to fully relax and enjoy our time because she went so above and beyond with our girls! They were spoiled and cared for at the highest degree. She is a wonderful resource and person that we trust completely. She will be our go to for everything. Can't recommend her enough!”

“Madeline helped us out when we needed some last minute help over labor day weekend. She was a star! Our dog takes a bit to warm up to people and not only was Madeline patient but gave me confidence in leaving him last minute. She gave us great updates. So happy to have found her!”

“Kassandra was a perfect fit for our boys! She came by for a meet and greet with our dogs before booking because we have a very nervous Shar Pei. He was comfortable with her and her approach to him was perfect. During her visits we got food, medication, and potty updates as well as pictures of the boys playing with their toys and looking very relaxed. Her communication was also prompt before, during, and after booking. 10/10 would recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog owner with 4+ years of hands-on pet sitting experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve had dogs since I was very young, and I’ve been heavily involved in their daily care, training, and exercise routines. With my current dog, I worked closely with two professional trainers, which gave me a strong understanding of behavior, structure, and positive reinforcement. I also have experience with rescue dogs, including one with a history of abuse, so I’m especially patient and attentive with anxious or sensitive dogs who need a calmer approach. Over the past few years, I’ve provided walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays for family friends and referrals. I’m comfortable with everything from basic routines to more involved care, and I always prioritize making pets feel safe, exercised, and well loved while their owners are away. I’m also happy to follow any training routines or reinforce commands you’re currently working on. I’ll treat your dog like my own and keep you updated so you always have peace of mind. I’m currently working 2 jobs part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pup! I’m a photographer, so my schedule varies a bit and can be flexible, so reach out and I can very likely work with your needs! I deliver thoughtful, routine-focused care in your home, with close attention to your pet’s needs, behaviors, and comfort. You can expect a clean space, clear communication, and dependable updates.
“Emma was great! So easy to communicate with, arrived on time and took the best care of Bruce! Sent lots of updates and made me very comfortable. Would be happy to have Bruce hang with her again sometime soon!”

“Sara was just wonderful with all Our fur babies! We got updates, photos, and prompt responses from her. Our pack loved their weekend, and we loved being stress free knowing they were home and in good hands!”

“Taylor was amazing house sitting for our 3 dogs. She was reliable, communicated well and took great care of our pups. We will definitely have her watch them again in the future and would recommend her!”

“The BEST!! Izzy watched my two dogs and one cat and she is amazing! Sent many pictures and videos making me feel very connected to them while I was away. GREAT communication skills, such a nice person, who clearly loves animals and gives them love and care. I am SO glad I found Izzy and plan to use her every time I can! Highly recommend!”

“Katy has watched our boys multiple times and every time she shows how caring, attentive, and kind she is. She goes above and beyond and is ALWAYS communicating so you feel at ease. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

“Forest is a great sitter for our pets. We were fostering a dog last minute and Forest was able to take that on unexpectedly. He was super patient with a dog that was totally new to us and pretty fearful. He sends lots of updates and pictures. We appreciated his help tons!”
“Ray did an amazing job with my two older frenchies - they were incredibly well cared for while I was away. This was my first time using Ray and Rover, and I will absolutely use Ray again. Perfect care for the dogs and very trustworthy at your home.”

About: Various friends and family members have entrusted me to care for their animals and they know they can rely on me because I know their animals needs and I follow their rules exactly I work full time 1st shift for a packaging company and I work over 40 hours per week. My schedule is Monday-Friday 7am-3pm. I currently take public transportation and bike everywhere. My new apartment allows cats only. I currently don’t have any pets in my care, but I have watched various friends and family member’s pets while they had to go away for a few days. My new neighborhood is very pet friendly.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 8 years old and have experience with many different types of dogs, as well as other animals. I’m very thorough and attentive when it comes to understanding and meeting each pet’s individual needs. I have a deep love and appreciation for animals, especially dogs, and I always want them to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for while they’re with me! I currently work remotely as a legal assistant, which gives me a flexible and open schedule for dog sitting and overnight stays. I’m able to bring my work equipment with me, so I can comfortably work from your home while keeping your pup company throughout the day. I also nanny part-time for about two hours a day, but otherwise my schedule is very flexible! I always try to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they’re fed on their usual schedule, have plenty of fresh water, get regular bathroom breaks and exercise, and receive lots of attention and affection. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions regarding medications, walks, playtime, or other needs. When staying in a client’s home, I treat both the pet and the home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
About: What sets me apart is my versatile experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. Beyond daily care and managing my own two-year-old Siberian mix, Jiaozi, I specialize in positive reinforcement training for puppies and administering gentle, patient care for senior animals. As a doctoral student, my schedule offers a great deal of flexibility, making it easy to seamlessly integrate pet care into my day. My daily routine is already anchored by morning and evening care for my two-year-old Siberian mix, Jiaozi. Because I spend a significant amount of time studying and working from home, I can comfortably accommodate midday dog walks, frequent potty breaks, and consistent feeding schedules while providing plenty of companionship. Whether in your home or mine, safety and routine are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow your instructions regarding feeding, walking, and house rules to ensure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. I also treat your space with the utmost respect and keep it clean. In my own home, I maintain a calm and safe atmosphere. I have a two-year-old Siberian mix named Jiaozi, so any visiting pets will have careful, supervised introductions, and I can easily separate spaces if needed to ensure everyone remains comfortable and stress-free. No matter the location, I always send plenty of photo and text updates so you can have complete peace of mind.
About: Dogs aren’t just pets, they’re family, and I treat them that way! Whether it’s backyard zoomies, long sniff-filled walks, or lazy cuddle sessions, I love making every pup feel happy and at home. I have experience with dogs of all ages — from energetic puppies who need structure and consistency to senior dogs who appreciate a slower pace and extra TLC. I’m comfortable with medication routines, reinforcing basic training, and adapting to each dog’s unique personality. Most importantly, I make sure each pup feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away, because they deserve nothing less. My goal is simple: to keep tails wagging and pet parents worry-free! I currently work a hybrid schedule (9–5) with three days in the office (Monday–Wednesday) and two days at home (Thursday–Friday), but my in-office days are flexible! On office days, I’m available for walks before and after work, as well as overnight boarding from 5:30 PM to 8 AM the next morning. When I’m working from home, I can offer walks throughout the day or full-day boarding. Weekends are completely open — I’m available Saturdays and Sundays for walks, drop-ins, or dog sitting at either my home or yours. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I make sure they have a calm, secure, and loving environment. I take the time to learn their routines, favorite spots, and any special needs so they feel comfortable and cared for. Walks are always done on leash, with plenty of water and breaks, and I never leave pets unattended outdoors. I also keep things tidy and make sure your home looks just as you left it. You can count on regular updates, photos, and lots of happy tails while you’re away!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Columbus
Marideth was absolutely wonderful! Her Rover reviews were so good I almost couldn't believe them, but now I understand why. She was incredibly flexible, kind, and fantastic with both our kitten and our wild puppy. She has trainer-level skills, which we really appreciated! She went above and beyond, and we loved receiving daily photos and videos of both our babies while we were away. We wouldn't hesitate to trust her with our pets for an extended vacation. We would book her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional sitter!

If you are looking for a dog sitter to stay at your home, Haley is your person! She came over to meet our dog last minute and it was evident how much she loves animals. When we were out of town, we got frequent updates and pictures! It’s not easy leaving your furry friend behind but we didn’t have one worry with Haley. When we got home, it was obvious our buddy had a great weekend and was exhausted from all the playing.

We are so glad to know and work with Jess. Sully is so pleased to have her come in. With some training, she had him learn 'circle ' which he performed for us perfectly. She also took time to groom him and taught me a lesson as well. I believe her calm and gentle spirit has a great influence on his behavior. Thanks Jess. See you soon.

I’m back again! 😁😁 After the amazing experience I had the first time, there was no question about who I was booking with again. What was originally just one stay while I was in Puerto Rico turned into me rebooking because I knew Penelope and Pablo would be in the best hands. Judith continues to go above and beyond. She keeps me updated, communicates so well, and treats my dogs with so much love and care. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and comfortable while I’m away. Thank you again, Judith, for everything you do! 🫶🏽🫶🏽

This is the third time Jessica's watched my very ancient dog, Bob, and he's not easy to watch. Bob gets medication daily, can't go up or down stairs, and needs a lot of care. She always comes when she says she will, stays until I need her, and she's been wonderfully flexible when my flights have been late (which is lucky, but so greatly appreciated). She leaves the house just as found, and I would highly recommend her!
