House Sitting in Downtown, Columbus, OH

“This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little apprehensive, but after meeting Laura, any worries I may have had subsided. Laura actively communicated updates and sent daily photos of my dog child. I wasnt sure what to expect when I came home but I could tell Laura took great care and respected our home. My pupper is also used to me working from home, so having Laura's flexibility working from home helped set my mind at ease in keeping his routine as normal as possible. I would definitely recommend you give Laura a chance to care for your littles.”

“Erica is seriously the best! I always know that Clyde is in the most loving hands while i’m away. My house is just how I left it (if not, it’s cleaner) :) and I receive daily updates and pictures. I appreciate her and so does Clyde!”

“Ann was so great with Maycey, playing her favorite games, and giving her a lot of outdoor time so she could exert her energy! Great pictures too. I could see my girl was very happy 😊”

“Paige was a fantastic dog sitter. We have two dogs who aren’t the best with strangers, but during the meet and greet she made them feel comfortable and did very well with them. She was so communicative during the stay, updated with pictures, and asked about certain behaviors to ensure she wasn’t letting bad behavior happen. She was so so amazing and definitely recommend!!!”

About: I have a soft spot for all animals big and small. I helped raise my family dog, Finn, who is now a 10 year old Morkie. Multiple friends have trusted me to walk and pet sit their animals and I have experience with small and large breeds. I have also volunteered for 2 years with 4 Paws for Ability, an organization that trains puppies to become service dogs. I am an owner of a black cat named Sesame who I adopted from a cat cafe earlier this year. I am currently a healthcare professional who just graduated school. I am waiting to start a job at the end of October, so I have some free time in the next few months I’m looking to fill with lots of walks and scratches. Safety is my number one priority for your pet and myself. I am good with communication and as a pet owner myself, I understand how much pets mean to us.

“Max was overall a great sitter for our 2 pittys. He was responsive to messages and sent photos. He also watered the plants, took out the recycling, and the kitchen was cleaner than I left it. He went out of his way to be helpful and the dogs seemed well cared for while we were away! We already have him booked for another sit in May!”

“Rebecca was amazing! She was so patient and calm with my little guy. It took a bit for him to warm up. She didn’t bat an eye at all my requests or learning how to walk a cat. 😁 She sent daily updates with pictures. Rebecca stayed overnight for a week and I’m pretty sure she left the place cleaner than I left it. She even went the extra mile to stay a bit longer when my flight came in late and turned the lights on so I didn’t come home to a dark space. The little guy is happy, clean and healthy. I was able to really relax during vacation knowing everything was taken care of at home. I will definitely ask Rebecca to come stay again the next time I go out of town.”

“Ellie is an absolute pleasure. She's exceptionally polite and very efficient with her time. She stayed with my pup and gave her plenty of walks, lots of time and care and I'd HIGHLY RECOMMEND her. She was pleasant from the meet n greet all the way to the end. She asked great questions to ensure she knew as much as she could including any of homesitting needs before staying at my home. She also sent me tons of updates and photos while I was away. I was so comfortable with her and her communication was tip top! If anyone is need of a sitter, Ellie is your person, hands down! BOOK HER NOW!!!!”

“Kelly was truly an angel!🙏 She came and did a meet and greet super late at night the day before we had to leave for a trip after another sitter had to back out on us. She stayed for a long time and made sure she understood all of the needs of all my geriatric pets and they loved her. She did a fantastic job and did everything I asked her to (which was A LOT!) and gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much Kelly!”

Jessica G.

“This was the first time we left our 3 pups with someone who wasn’t family. I’m so relieved that things worked out. Meagan sent us pictures periodically while we were gone and the pups looked as relaxed as ever. ???”

Lisa T.

“Elizabeth was amazing. It's not easy going away worry-free on vacation, but she nailed it. I didn't leave her with any instructions and she handled everything flawlessly. Even exceeded expectations. Cannot recommend enough!”

About: Hi, I’m Marlee ☺️ 🐶 I have experience watching several breeds and ages of dogs including aussiedoodles, golden doodles, chihuahuas, pitbulls, and more. 🦮 I provide drop-in, house-sitting, and walking services. When I’m at your home, I’m happy to also: 🌱 Water any plants ✉️ Gather the mail 🗑️ Take out the trash 🩵 Pet parents choose me because I’m communicative, responsible, and love their pets! 🗓️ My calendar is always up to date, so there is no confusion about when I’m free! 📄✨For longer sits, I’ll leave a fun report card for your doggo or cat! More about me: I have had so much fun watching my friend’s Aussiedoodle from when she was a puppy until now, which I am pictured with throughout my profile. In addition, I have also watched several different dogs while babysitting. Growing up, I had a cat that I solely took care of, but I also cared for animals on my family’s farm. I worked with goats, hogs, chickens, and ducks, as well as some farm dogs and cats. I work from home, so my schedule is relatively flexible to watch your pet(s)! I prefer walking, going to a park, or hanging out at your home with your pet(s)! I love going on walks with your pet, so I can easily make sure your pet gets their needed exercise. I also make sure owners are comfortable with me taking their dogs places before going anywhere.

“Excellent!!! Brittany watched our two German Shepherd in our home, both are over 100lbs and one is becoming a bit elderly. Britany was prompt and followed all our listed care needs to the letter. While we have used Rover for years, Brittany is one of the few we have found that truly loves animals, and give real love and attention to your pets. The house remained spotless and Brittany clearly took extra steps before she left. In addition, Brittany checked in with us before leaving for to make sure our flights were on time an no extension was needed. Thanks Brittany for taking great care of our very hairy children!”

“Emily is amazing and so sweet! This was our first time using Rover and I was so nervous—we always get nervous leaving our babies, but Emily made this trip less stressful for us. I would definitely book with her again! Our dogs were well taken care of, as well as our home! She followed all instructions to a tee and even went above and beyond! We also appreciated her sending lots of updates, photos, & videos!”

“Cody was with our Odin for 10 long days. We missed our guy tons but Cody checked in often and sent us lots of pics and updates. And spoiled him with fun activities. Runs and wrestling. Odin even tired to leave with Cody when it was time for him to go! Our house was in perfect condition as well. Cody is a wonderful care taker and our go to guy when we need a pet sitter! Thank you so much Cody!”

Laura M.

About: From rescuing a three-legged friend to hosting large scale dog park events, I have experience caring for pets of all ages and abilities! I am passionate about animals getting exercise and engaging play time. ** I work second shift so I am available through the week when most people are at work! I am free most mornings until 1pm everyday. Tuesdays and Wednesdays I do not work so I have more flexibility on those days I treat pets as an extension of myself! I like to have ample space that is cozy as well as activities to keep myself entertained and happy, I believe every pet is entitled to these same privileges. I cater to individual needs of pets, prioritizing the voice of the owner!

“Could not be happier with Cecilia, went above and beyond to look after and care for our cats while we were out of town.”

“Lauren did such an amazing job with our pups. Updated us through out her stay and informed us that our one dog who needs meds twice a day when she gave him his meds. They were so comfortable with her they layed with her on the couch like they do with us. We appreciate you watching and taking good care of our babies!”

About: I’ve been a proud dog mom my whole life, caring for my two pups throughout their lives, gaining hands on experience with everything from daily routines to unexpected 3am situations. Over the years, family and friends have regularly entrusted me with their pets, whether for a quick visit or extended stays. I understand how important it is to feel confident when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. You can count on me to provide attentive, realistic me and compassionate care with plenty of exercise and affection. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy and safe so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time but have the flexibility of working from home on Mondays and Fridays, which allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Even on days I’m in office, I’m available in the evenings and early mornings for walks, feedings and check-ins. I’m also completely free on weekends, making me a great fit for overnight stays, longer visits, or more active care when needed. I plan my schedule with plenty of time built in to ensure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Wherever I’m caring for pets, safety and trust are always my top priority. I take time to understand your pets needs, routine and personality. I make sure to respect your space while maintaining your pets normal routine to help them feel secure and comfortable.
