“Emily takes wonderful care of Bsicuit. He’s regressed in his potty training and she’s being to kind and patient while we work through it. Any pup that spends time with Emily is in great hands!!!”


“Shanelle was absolutely amazing! This was our first time taking our puppy to a sitter and it was great. She sent multiple photos, videos, and updates. She tired her out and took great care of our girl! Definitely recommend! :)”



“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 ?”

“Katie came through for me in a pinch and I couldn’t be happier with how well she’s taken care of Lemon! And Lemon loves her time with Katie and her pups. Would definitely book 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: My husband and I grew up with dogs - golden retrievers, mini-schnauzers and mutts. We now have 2 small bichon-poodles of our own. We've had a great experience using Rover ourselves, and want to be able to provide that same level of experience for others. Our dogs are middle aged and don't play much, but they love their walks and snuggles. We'd prefer to watch dogs who are nice to small dogs and aren't high energy, as our dogs would feel uncomfortable around that energy. Thanks, we hope to meet you soon! PS - our home was renovated in 2020 and the updated version doesn’t show up on Google Maps. My husband and I both work from home full time. Your dog(s) will be able to socialize with ours all day and have access to frequent potty breaks, full water bowls, treat time and possibly walks (depending on weather and our schedules). I have a fenced in back yard. We work from home every day, so they'll be socialized and be able to go potty outside often. We also have 2 small dogs of our own.

About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, and have taken care of them for so long. I treat my animals like kiddos and would do anything for yours! I only will be gone from my house for about 2 hours a day. The rest of the time I will be at home attending your animals! I will hangout and play with your animals when they want to and will keep them well fed and have plenty of water at all times!

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.

“In town traveling and needed a place for my pup for a few hours. Devyn was awesome and kept me updated.”


About: I believe in treating every pup as my own! From pet-safe crafts to movie nights to trips to the dog park near my house; they will have a great time here. Please let me know if you would prefer for your dog(s) to have minimal physical activity or exercise. I’ve had dogs my entire life and was responsible learning how to care for them at a young age. I have some grooming experience as well. I am currently studying full time at home for the LSAT and will apply to law school this year! Rover has paved the way for me to pursue my passion for animal care and helped me to begin saving to pay for application fees. My open availability allows me to have flexibility and be at home to provide quality care for your dog(s) over 85 percent of the time. Please ask me about the possibility of a free trial night :) I have one friendly dog that would love to play but can be separated if needed. My dog is very well behaved and house trained.

About: Hi there! I’m Amy, a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to Riley, a sweet and sensitive 3 year old Mini Australian Shepherd. Growing up with two family dogs, I’ve always felt most at home with a furry friend by my side - and I’d love to help care for yours too. 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 home 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, respected and loved. Riley is an anxious guy himself, so I have a soft spot (and lots of experience!) for dogs who are nervous and/or reactive. I believe in patient, positive reinforcement and always move at your dog’s pace - whether that’s slow introductions, extra snuggles, or just giving them space to settle in. If you’d like, we can set up a meet-and-greet so I can learn all about your dog’s 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, potty breaks, playtime and companionship. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a calm, 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. If your pup prefers alone time, I make sure they have a quiet space to relax without pressure. I also use positive reinforcement to build trust, especially for anxious or reactive dogs.

“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!”


“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!”


“Dexter had a good time as usual with Sydney and of course she provided plenty of pics and videos during the day. So glad we found a place where Dexter is so comfortable. Definitely will be having her watch him again.”



“Went above & beyond w our pups! Gave them lick mats & treats without us asking, sent so many pics & we knew our dogs were happy & taken care of. Def recommend:)”


“My dog Willie spent an awesome week with Morgan and her two doggies! He got so excited every morning heading to her place. Morgan sent cute photos of the dogs everyday to keep me updated. Highly recommend and I would definitely rebook next time!”


About: From my experience growing up on a farm to caring for two dogs and a cat as a young professional, I've developed quite a bit of pet care knowledge and skills. I've cared for puppies and kittens and adult dogs and cat through good times and hard times. Over the years, I've learned a lot and I'm happy to use that experience to care for your's as well. My wife and I both work from home during the week so we have plenty of time for pet care. When our dog Frank was around, we would often go on walks with him and my daughter and visit local parks. Unfortunately, we don't have time to care for puppies or kittens at this stage in life but adult dogs and cats are welcome. We live in downtown Columbus in a single family home with a large fenced yard. We're surrounded by lots of sidewalks and live within walking distance to several parks. In our home, we have a large soft crate for dogs and small crates for cats, if needed. We expect all pets to be potty/house trained and dogs to sleep in a crate overnight. We don't allow dogs on furniture or in beds, but they're welcome throughout the home. Our cat, Cleo, roams the house but will often stay on the 2nd floor when new pet friends stay over. She has been great with new cats and dogs, often warming up to them after a day or two. We also have a 2.5 year old daughter who is home most of the week. She's great with cats and dogs and we expect any pets that stay with us to be comfortable with children.

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.”
