“Breslin had a great time and was very tired afterwards. She also updated me throughout the day and made time to fit him into her schedule somewhat last minute. Will leave Breslin with her again if needed ?”
“Cindy has taken care of our dog a couple of times and did a fabulous job!! She was so attentive to her and took her for multiple walks. Thank you Cindy!!”
“Michelle was fantastic! Reached out on short notice & she happily watched my pup. She was very responsive the whole day, sending pictures and videos with updates. Tucker had a great time, I will certainly be a returning client! Highly suggest to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Amazing. Shanelle is by far the best sitter I’ve ever had for Atla my doberman. She was always updating me and was super transparent and inviting. I would recommend Shanelle to everyone. Thank you Shanelle for taking good care of Atla for me. We appreciate it ?. Your neighbors Fonzy and Irvin”
“Sydney was a huge lifesaver when I needed someone to watch my dog while in town for a few days. She was awesome with my dog Atlas, who’s usually pretty skeptical of new people, and he loved playing with her dog Honey”
“Our pups were well taken care of while they were with Ellen! We were able to see fun updates and pics throughout the day. We’ll definitely be booking her again.:)”
“Simon was great! My baby had so much fun with him. He replied super quickly and agreed to take care of her on short notice. He also sent pictures, which was a huge relief for me and gave me peace of mind knowing she was happy. When I went to pick her up, she didn’t even want to leave! On the second day of daycare, she jumped out of the car and didn’t even look back. I’ll definitely book with him again!”
About: Growing up on a farm taught me to care for all animals with gentleness and respect. I have eperience training our puppy who is now 3 years old. I am all about rewards for positive behavior! I work remotely as an artist and I am a stay at home mom! My week days are very flexible since I make my own schedule. I am available Monday-Saturday anytime from 8-5, unless otherwise noted. I play interactive games with our dog and love taking her on long walks. Fun exercise is so good for dogs! I will do the same for your pups as I do my own.
“Zi and Atti ( mini Aussie's) are now repeaters with Kaleigh and Conner. Both our puppies love them and their 2 mini Bichon's. They have a enclosed back yard which makes us feel super secure for their safety. Kaleigh and Conner take fantastic care of our babies, in which we are grateful. Extra bonus.... they love playing and socializing with their 2 doggies too. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! I’m Amy, a lifelong dog lover and dog mom to Riley, a sweet and sensitive 3 year old Mini Australian Shepherd. I’m from the DC area, lived in NYC and Philly after college, and moved to Columbus in fall of 2024 with my partner Jake. We live in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath house on the border of Victorian Village and Harrison West. We both work from home and have a fenced backyard, so your dog will have plenty of space to explore and lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your pup is playful or prefers alone time, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and loved. One of the reasons I started doing Rover is because I wanted to find friends for Riley to spend time with during the day. He enjoys playing with dogs who are around his size (30lb) or smaller. I’m excited to meet your pup and would love to set up a meet-and-greet to learn all about their unique personality and needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m home the majority of the day, so I’m able to provide plenty of attention and potty breaks. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment. I’m mindful of each dog’s personality and I follow their usual routines as closely as possible to help them feel at ease.
“Andrew was a wonderful sitter! This was the first time I’ve ever used Rover for Doggy Day Care and it was such a positive experience. Andrew was flexible with us, as we were traveling to and from Cedar Point. He took Piper on several fun, long walks. He lives in a beautiful area, perfect for a pup to relax and also to enjoy nature. He sent pictures and was responsive with updates. I highly recommend him and would definitely rebook.”
“Katie was extremely professional and we knew our fur baby was in good hands. We only needed day care for a quick trip in town but she's the first person we'll call if we have needs in Columbus again. Highly recommend!”
“My dog Luka had a great day hanging out with Kiara, he came home and immediately laid down for a nap. Kiara sent me pictures, videos and updates throughout the day which I loved! She was very sweet and I definitely will book with her again!”
“Michele is a very kind, animal loving, and extremely knowledgeable on pet care. With two days of day care in her home, my rescue puppy now is much more confident than she was before meeting Michele. She got plenty of exercise and attention!”
“Sarah and Clay were so wonderful to Chance. They and their cute Golden wore him out and he had such a great time. Sarah was great about providing updates and photos! Will definitely rover with them again!”
About: I've grown up around dogs, cats, horses, and many other animals. I have had six dogs and trained all of them to walk and do certain tricks, and did the 4-H dog program as a pre-teen, as well as four cats. I have worked with various different sizes and breeds of dogs and love them all equally. I work full-time from home, so am quite flexible with scheduling and your pups won’t be wanting for anything while visiting! I currently have two dogs of my own. The oldest is a 7 year old rescue from Thailand who is a sweetheart and would spend every second of every day getting belly rubs and sun bathing. The younger one is a 2 year old mutt I adopted 1 year ago from a rescue in VA, who is timid around other dogs at first and then loves to play with any and all ages/sizes. I am very well-practiced in taking care of dogs with medical or physical difficulties (e.g., mobility issues, skin issues, giving medications, wound dressing). I work fully remote from home so I am around all the time to ensure your pets get what they need - they won’t want for anything! I have a fenced in yard, two dogs to keep your pups company, and am able to crate your dog(s) if needed. I am around always and keep a watchful eye to ensure the safety of all pups.
About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 10 and currently have two—Maverick, a Bernese Mountain Dog mix, and Rue, a Mini Goldendoodle. Dogs are family to me! I work from home for Ohio State, so your pup will get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship with me and my two friendly dogs, Maverick and Rue! My apartment is a safe, dog-friendly space with plenty of room to relax and play. Your pup will feel at home with my friendly dogs!
“Joe was very communicative about how my girl was doing throughout the day, as well as sending lots of pictures. Would definitely recommend and have him watch her again!”
About: 🐾 As a lifelong pet owner, with my own fur baby for the past seven years, I understand the bond between pets and their owners. Your beloved dog will be in safe hands with me as a pet sitter, as I bring not only experience but also genuine love and dedication. Plus, my own dog will be thrilled to have a new friend to play with! Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and I can't wait to provide them with warm, attentive, and compassionate care. Let's make their time away from home as enjoyable and stress-free as possible! 🐶 I work from home, so I have the time and flexibility to attend to your pet throughout the day and evening if needed. I’m available weekdays and weekends. I live in an apartment but it is very spacious with adequate room for your pet to stretch and play! I understand the importance of consistent love and attention, and I'm committed to providing your pet with the same level of care as my own.

Amy B.Star Sitter
“Amy B has experience with a variety of animals. She grew up on a farm and has worked with cattle, horses, dogs, cats, sheep, and chickens. Amy is a current dog owner and I have never doubted the safety or well-being of her dog. She has a fenced in yard with room for a dog to enjoy time in and outside. Growing up on a farm taught Amy the value of animal life and the responsibility of caring for animals. She is a dedicated wife and mother and values life. She is confident but not cocky. She is not afraid of hard work. I have witnessed Amy care for her pet by taking her to dog parks, on walks, playing with her, keeping her groomed, and making sure she is watched by a responsible person when she and her family are out of town. I have benefited from knowing Amy personally and would recommend her as a dog walker or sitter to anyone.”
