Lilly stayed with our 160 lb. pup for 3 nights and did a great job sticking to his routine which includes pills 2x a day, meals, walks, and giving specific treats at specific times. She sent photos of him every day, which helped put me at ease. I was thrilled to find Lilly as she has extensive vet experience, and our pup is prone to seizures. Fortunately, he had no episodes while we were away, so she did a great job keeping his anxiety levels down. I definitely recommend Lilly and will be contacting her again.

Leah took really good care of my two dogs while I was out celebrating my birthday all day . She made me feel at ease by sending updates as well as pictures. Both of the dogs were both grinning from ear to ear from the pictures she sent us. Thank you!

Olivia was amazing! Gracie is my baby and she was able to provide plenty of snuggles and play time. She was able to come to my place to watch Gracie and took lots of pictures and always sent updates to keep me at ease. This was my first time using rover and it was a great experience. Would definitely recommend!

I have had the pleasure of knowing Taylor for over ten years, during which time they demonstrated an exceptional ability to care for my pets. They have an innate understanding of animal behavior and consistently go above and beyond to ensure that every pet in their care is happy, healthy, and well-cared for. Taylor is not only reliable and punctual but also incredibly compassionate and attentive, treating my pets like family. I highly recommend them for any pet care position—your animals will be in the best of hands!

Jeffrey has been our dog trainer for over a year now. We have put 2 dogs through his classes. His love for dogs is so strong, it’s palpable. He has such a passion for dog training and clearly wants the best for every animal he meets. I’ve seen him take a dog from highly reactive, to being able to walk past another dog without batting an eye. He is very good at what he does and would take fantastic care of your furry pals. :)

About: Hi! I’m Miranda, a 24 year old living in Columbus who misses her family pups! I‘ve grown up with dogs my whole life and am looking to pup sit/walk in my free time. I am looking to provide pet care after work and on the weekends! I am generally available after 4 on weekdays and happy to accommodate dogs on the weekends as well! I live in an apartment with lots of accessible yards and sidewalks - great for going on walks! There are always dogs around so I would make sure to keep them on a leash.

About: I've had dogs growing up, five of them being German shepherds and the other four being a lab and two mutts and a dachshund. We currently have two German shepherds and I walk them a ton and I spend a lot of time taking care of them, and then we have a dachshund who I just rescued from the place I work at. The place I work does dog boarding/daycare/training. I am a kennel tech so I just take care of all the boarding and daycare doggies. And on the weekends I also take care of all the training dogs when/if the trainers are away. I have worked there for a year and absolutely love it. I have had to deal with so many different dogs and their personalities and I've definitely learned to have a ton of patience with the job. I have been working in general since I was 14. I started at some neighbouring farms, doing farm work so I could ride their horses and earn some money. I then did a couple restaurant jobs and then found the place I currently work at. I have done dog sitting and cat sitting before many times, sometimes for family or friends of family who I don't know but I am happy to help out. The most I have dealt with at one time was seven dogs in total. I have watched people's dogs get trained while at work and I have been trained to use an e-collar and a prong collar so I am able to use those correctly! I really love my job, it means a lot to me I get to be in that environment and I'm depended on to keep them all safe and happy. I am currently on winter break from college so I'm free all of this month and half of next month. I work mostly on weekends. At home I spend time walking the dogs mostly and hanging around the house with them. Every client I feel is different in how things are done at their home, so however you take care of your pets I'll follow

About: I have had had almost every type of animals there is from hamsters to horses! I am currently in college to become a vet tech. I have been walking dogs as a side job but I’m working to build a bigger clientele. Currently I am doing classes online so I am available almost anytime. I already walk dogs once a week but I am hoping to get more work as I’m working to make this my main job. I baby my pets a lot they are very spoiled and I will treat yours the same! My dog gets walked twice a day and is very pampered with regular grooming. My cat gets a lot of treats and has at least 2 long play sessions and I go to see my horse who unfortunately doesn’t live in my backyard almost everyday to groom her and ride. All of my animals stay up to date on vet visits and any other needs.

About: I’ve taken care of babies and animals since I was a child myself! I have lots of love to give. I know how hard and stressful it can be to find good child care and pet care. I know how hard it is to trust others with your babies. With me, your little loves are safe and taken care of! I want to make this my full time job. So I try to have the most of open availability as I possibly can to take on as much love as I can! I do as directed! I can walk your babies, I can feed them, I can administer medications, even subcutaneously. I can make sure they’re happy and well observed and taken care of!

About: I fell in love with animals at a young age when I bonded tightly with the old family cat at the time and was devastated when she passed. A few years later I got a cat I could call my own, who is a little more aloof but just as lovey when he wants to be. We also have a mini chihuahua who recently has claimed me as his "hooman" and who I love to play and roughhouse with. I have also been gaining a lot of care experience with the TCHS, where I volunteer at most weekends, which has been teaching me a lot about different animal personalities and the best way to care for the animals present there. I am sitting because I truly love animals and prefer earning money for college and drum corps doing something I love. I work part time at an office job from 9-3:30 on Mon-Thurs, so those hours are set in stone. When I can, I volunteer at TCHS from 10-4 Fri-Sun, but I can certainly petsit during those times if need be. I can even petsit on weeknights and evenings after my office job. I will not accept pet dropoffs at my house since we have two other pets there already, and I'm certain that my family would not be pleased if I brought over another animal. I would do most of anything you would ask me to do to care for your pet. I'm not so experienced on giving medication, orally or intravenously, but I would be willing to learn to keep you worry-free. How I play and stimulate your pet depends largely on your pet's personality and preferences. My cat mainly loves to lay around and cuddle, but also loves to play fetch with yellow NERF dart balls! And the chihuahua loves to rough house play, so I constantly adapt to their wants and preferences. I have a more relaxed and chilled personality so if your pets don't like too much movement or rambunctiousness, then we'll get along together perfectly! I like to give cats and dogs a break from louder, more energetic folks and be a safe, calm haven for them.

About: I grew up on a farm! Of course we had farm animals but we also had a cat, a dog ( a very energetic Golden Retriever) and hamsters as pets. I’m free Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I could briefly help out on Saturday and Sundays after 5:30 pm. Tuesdays and Thursdays are unavailable due to school. I love interacting with pets and allowing them feel comfortable and cared for. Animals pick up on energy too! The right connections are meant to flow naturally!
