“Amazing sitter! Rachel made it so easy to arrange drop off and pick up and was very communicative throughout the process. I got lots of pics of my dog playing and getting love and attention. I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home! 😂 Thanks again!”

“Rubal was absolutely wonderful with Kingston! I needed a sitter for a last-minute weekend away, and she took excellent care of him. She sent daily pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. Kingston was happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of love and attention. Her son also adored him, which made me smile. I would not hesitate to book with Rubal again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive dog sitter. We will definitely be back!”

“I can't recommend Danielle highly enough! She stepped in at the last minute to provide specialized care for my cat after an incident just days before vacation. We so relieved knowing my pet was in such capable hands. Being a vet med for over a decade she is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and confident handling medical needs. Danielle took the time to ensure my cat, Jelly, was comfortable and well cared for, and they kept me updated throughout. It's not easy to find someone with this level of experience and compassion. I would absolutely trust them with my cat again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled and dependable pet sitter.”

About: Hi, my name is Melinda of bark and stroll. I love animals. I have my own animal and I love taking care of animals inside my home or your home. I am retired, and I have plenty of time to take care of the animals. I love playing with them and taking them on nice walks. I have a decent sized yard. It’s not fenced in so I do walk the animals on a leash and we have some woods with paths near my house.

“Julie did a great job watching Roxy for us! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was happy and being well cared for, she provided daily updates with pictures, will definitely use her again.”

“Kamela was a very kind dog sitter. She recognized Max's habits quickly and I'm sure he felt comfortable with Kamela and her family. She sent me pictures and updated me daily on Max's activities. I am very satisfied with our first booking with Kamela, and I'm sure I will book with her again in the future.”

“Laura was absolutely amazing!!! This was the first time I’ve ever left my dog with non family and Lucy was so happy the entire time! She’s a 2 yo GSD with a lot of love to give but she can be a lot for some people and Laura had zero issues. If you are ever in the area or in need of an exceptional dog sitter do not hesitate! She literally drove over just to meet Lucy prior to sitting. It blew me away how effortless this whole thing was aside from me being the nervous dog dad BUT she sent me photos throughout the evening and in the morning which helped so much! I cannot wait to use her services again.”

About: I had German Shepherds, Welsh Corgis, a Jindo, and a mixed-breed dog back in Korea, and all of them were well trained. When I meet a new dog, I try to become their friend by making gentle eye contact, lowering myself to their eye level, and offering my hand while patiently waiting until they feel I am safe. I have also dealt with aggressive dogs several times, and in the end, they too became my friends. Since I work from home with flexible time during the week, I have not had my own pet yet because I felt it would be unfair to leave them alone for long hours. However, on weekends I usually dedicate time to myself through photography, driving, and hiking, and I would truly enjoy having the company of your dog or cat during those times. Taking care of a pet would naturally fit into my routine as part of those weekend activities, giving me both companionship and joy while also ensuring the pet has quality time and attention. In my home, I would care for pets as if they were my own friends—providing attention, playtime, and walks, even on rainy days, to make sure they stay active and happy. In a client’s home, I would first ask about any rules or restrictions, such as areas of the house that are off-limits, preferred snacks, daily routines, and any medical concerns. I believe following the owner’s guidance is very important to ensure the pet feels comfortable and safe in their familiar environment.

About: With a fur family of my own, including my dog, Rein and cat, Stormi, I understand the importance of treating your pets like part of the family. Plus my volunteer experience at the Columbus Animal Services Shelter has given me extensive hands-on expertise with animals of all shapes, sizes and personalities. Rest assured, your beloved companions will receive the utmost attention, love and care in their home environments under my trusted supervision. I am available full-time to meet your needs and to provide plenty of loving care for your fur babies. I am available 7 days a week. I provide care for you beloved pets in their own environment insuring they feel safe and comfortable at all times. I feel pets feel better within their own homes.

“Emily is a great person to have to watch your pet. She took extremely great care of our dog, Shiloh, going above and beyond what is "normally" expected from sitters. I would, and will, choose her for a pet sitter anytime. If there was a rating system for her services, she would get the highest rating from myself. I am very pleased with Emily.”

About: Pets have been part of my life since I was a child. I began working in a dog boarding facility during my high school years and followed the animal track into my college education and became a licensed veterinary technician. I have pet sitting and veterinary working experience with dogs, cats, cattle, chickens, and horses. I worked in a mixed animal veterinary practice as a licensed veterinary technician for 4 years, then moved to an equine only veterinary practice for close to 5 years and currently at an equine veterinary practice employed as a registered veterinary technician. I have a 2 year old spayed golden retriever who travels everywhere with me as well as a 10 year old shorthair female spayed cat who enjoys her days sunbathing in the sunshine. I work full time as a registered veterinary technician; I typically work 4 days a week with one day off and approximately every 4th weekend at the clinic. I have availability in the evenings, days off, and most weekends. My golden girl loves to play and have company and the cat will offer her cuddles as well during in home stays. I constantly observe the pets I care for and make sure they are happy and healthy. I tailor my care for each individual; whether they enjoy multiple walks, adventures, or just want extra cuddles their happiness is my top priority.

About: What sets me apart is how carefully I follow each owner’s requests. I read your instructions, ask questions if needed, and stick to your routines so your cat’s day feels normal and stress-free. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I schedule visits around work, plan efficient routes, and build in extra time so pets never feel rushed or overlooked. I take safety and trust very seriously. I double-check doors, follow your instructions exactly, and send clear updates, so you always know your home and pets are secure.

About: Need a weekend getaway? Let your pet have one, too! I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and I know how stressful it can be to leave them behind. That's why I open my home for weekend boarding (Friday morning to Sunday night). My house is incredibly pet-friendly. Your dog will have a securely fenced yard to run around in, free roam of the house, and plenty of cozy spots to nap. They will also have some great company! My resident pack includes a super friendly 1-year-old Lab mix who loves to play, plus two older Pomeranians and a laid-back cat who knows how to keep things chill. If your pet is a little older or needs some extra care, you can rest easy. I have plenty of experience caring for senior dogs with medical issues and am completely comfortable administering medications. My pets are my world, and I promise to treat your babies as if they were my own. I can't wait to host them! I currently work full time and am home on the weekends. I can host your pets from Friday evening until Sunday evening. I only need 1 day notice. I have a fenced in yard and I offer continuous access outside weather permitting. I can crate your pet if needed. Treats and snacks and lots of love will be provided.

“We are a rescue that was transporting a Foxhound, pulled from a high-skill shelter in SC to our rescue in SE Minnesota. We were unable to secure a volunteer to do overnight boarding for our girl Charlene. I was apprehensive but, I did a search on Rover.com for an overnighter in the Greensburg IN area. Kayla W appeared. I asked the questions, she responded. It was a late drop-off and an early pick-up; no problem, Kayla could and did accommodate us. This woman is top-notch. She is professional, informational and kept us apprise of rescued girl- Charlene. We will definitely be booking with Kayla W again. Thank you for an awesome, first-time experience. Dianne”
