“Just booked Victoria for a second time after she walked my dog last week! She has been great with her and dealt with complications like accidents and surprise kitty visitors very well. Thanks, Victoria!”

About: I’m currently a graduate student at The Ohio State University, and alongside my academic work, caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I’ve owned and cared for a variety of dogs of many different breeds and sizes. Growing up and into adulthood, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, and playtime. I understand how important it is to maintain your dog’s routine and make them feel comfortable while you’re away. As both a responsible graduate student and a lifelong dog owner, I bring reliability, organization, and genuine care to every visit. My goal is too make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for, and to give you peace of mind while you’re away! As a graduate student at The Ohio State University, I’m only in class for a portion of the day Monday through Thursday, which gives me consistent flexibility throughout the week. I’ve included my class schedule to be fully transparent about my availability: -Mondays 8am-4pm -Tuesdays 8am-12pm -Thursdays 8am-4pm My Wednesdays will be open until October, and Fri/Sat/Sun are generally open! Outside of class, my schedule is structured but open, allowing me to plan pet care visits, walks, and check-ins reliably. When caring for pets in other homes, I prioritize keeping their routine as normal and consistent as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any specific preferences your pet may have. My goal is to make them feel safe and comfortable in their own environment.
“Our dog Ruby loved her! A well trained professional. Prompt response times. Friendly and kind. I felt as ease knowing Jovonna would take great care of Ruby while my wife and I were at work”

“Thea has been awesome! Toby has been getting plenty of exercise and really likes her! She is very attentive and also takes time to make sure Toby’s paws are clean before getting in the house. Best dog walker ever!”

“Taylor has been very helpful. She has come and walked our very energetic dog on a weekly basis and I have had 0 difficulties getting ahold of her or getting feedback about how everything went. She is very sweet and a great choice for your pet!”

“Vanessa has been our dog walker for almost a year. She is professional, communicate & make sure your energetic pup gets the exercise he needs! I very highly recommend Vanessa for any of your pets needs!”

About: I’ve worked with animals of all sizes, from the smallest neonates to the largest of dogs! I am a college student studying biological sciences on a pre-med track. Outside of school, animals are my passion. I worked at a high volume emergency animal hospital for 3 years, and have previously worked in pet boarding & daycare! Each day, I dedicate time to feeding, walking, playing, and checking in on the pets in my care, ensuring they feel safe, stimulated, and loved. My routine is flexible and centered around their needs, whether that means early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. I keep things clean, stick to established routines, and provide regular updates with photos and notes. Whether it's feeding, administering medication, or giving extra belly rubs, I treat every pet like part of my family.
“After 2 walks with Mallory, I'm pleased. Jimmy knew what she was here for the second walk. He's tired after, which is what I wanted. I added a pic of him sleeping tonight (1 1/2hrs) after his walk. His eyes are rolled back in his head, and snoring. Mallory is very kind and obviously loves animals. I'm so grateful to have found a great match. Excited to see Jimmy be more active.”

About: I'm an animal lover who's grown up with multiple family members who owned dogs and have had my own German Shepherd for years since puppyhood! Well versed in caring for, walking, and enjoying company of pets. I'm a college student currently working part-time and studying for the LSAT, so I have a fairly flexible schedule that can work well for you! My approach would be to try to provide structure to the animals while following the rules and preferences of the clients. I've found my own dog is the happiest when provided efficient stimulation, so I would want to provide that for any pets I was sitting.
“Camryn has been amazing for this first 3 weeks. She scheduled a consultation on short notice, and has been great with timing, communication, and most importantly, care of our dog. We’ll be hiring her for a long time!”

“Erin was incredible! She helped my sister and I out during a family emergency and showed up for us last minute to save the day! Incredible communication very compassionate unable to work with our quirky puppy! I highly recommend her!!!”

About: Hi there- I'm an experience pet parent with one three year old Shih Tzu currently but have had two others who have passed. I’ve also had cats though I don’t have any currently. I love animals and believe they are one of the best gifts of life. I know first hand the stress of being away and worrying if your animals are being safely cared for and would be happy to help take care of yours. I'm available for outside dog walks, stop-in visits for a little play time and a treat, overnight visits in your home and/or longer-term care for vacations and holidays. I have tons of flexibility in my schedule and I’m happy to work around whatever is needed for you and your pet. I am also able to house sit to keep them comfy in their own environment if that’s what’s best for them. I am not currently accepting boarding in my home as I am renting. I am happy though to housesit and keep your baby where they are the most comfortable.

About: Hi! My name is Sabrina and I’m a second year optometry student at The Ohio State University! My first job at 13 was taking care of my next door neighbor’s dog. She loved me so much that she referred me to a few other people within the neighborhood. They relied on me to walk, feed, give medications, among other responsibilities. I never had the opportunity to have my own furry friend, so I loved dedicating my time to helping others with theirs :) I’m a second year optometry student looking for an easy and fun way to make some extra money! My schedule for school keeps me pretty busy, but I do have time to fit in some pet sitting jobs! I love pets and love being active, so walking dogs definitely is within my ballpark (no pun intended). If your pet loves to have someone keeping them company I’m the same way!

About: I have been caring for animals my entire life, starting when I was six years old with my two tortoiseshell cats, Nutmeg and Basil, and later my rescue poodle, Teddy. Growing up deeply bonded with my own pets taught me early on how to read animal body language and manage daily care routines. Over the years, I became the go-to pet sitter for my neighbors. Throughout college, I expanded this experience by regularly dog-sitting, cat-sitting, and house-sitting for friends as well as the families I nannied for. Because I spend a lot of my free time hiking, biking, and being outdoors, I am a great match for high-energy dogs that need long, active walks or trail time to burn off steam. I have extensive experience with both cats and dogs of various temperaments, including rescues, and I am confident in keeping pets feeling safe, engaged, and loved while their families are away. I currently work 3 days a week in person from 1:30pm-5:30pm, so outside of that time, I am flexible! This means I can commit to multiple times a day and/or extended periods of time based on your needs. I prioritize pet safety in my service and am always cautious of each individual pet’s needs! For home care, it is my goal to keep your fur babies feeling loved while also making sure your home is respected and cared for.
“Fantastic! I shared with Tracy that my dog gets very anxious when new people come to the house. She was very understanding and agreed to meet outside the house and go on a walk for our Meet and Greet. My dog felt very comfortable with Tracy and had no problems when Tracy walked her by herself the next time. I am extremely happy.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Downtown
Absolutely outstanding Rover sitter! Nick is incredibly patient, kind, and genuinely dog-smart. He took the time to understand my dog, were thoughtful about his individual needs and personality, and handled everything with an impressive level of care and understanding. I really appreciate his patience and willingness to work with him, and it was clear that he truly care about dogs—not just the job. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and experienced with dogs.

Brittney did an excellent job walking the dogs while i was traveling. She was communicative and consistent and my dogs loved her and the chance to get some activity in- and I loved the peace of mind knowing my dogs were getting the exercise they needed while I was away! Highly recommend.
