“Laura was wonderful with our dog! She was super flexible with our schedule and kept our pup comfortable and calm in our home for the weekend and left our house spotless. We can’t wait to have her dog sit again!”

“Emma watched Sadie while we were away for a day. She was communicative when needed, did everything we asked of her, and even stayed a little while extra to comfort Sadie when Sadie was afraid of fireworks going off outside. Sadie was cared for and in good spirits when we returned. We would happily book Emma again!”

“Miriam did a fantastic job taking care of goose and Delta. She was reliable, on time, and fantastic with communication. Set my mind at ease while I was away! I would happily refer her to anyone who needs a dog or pet sitter and will definitely be using her again!”


About: I am Completely infatuated with Animals, never Met one pet that didn’t like me. I love running, playing, and training Puppies and dogs of Larger sizes.I have great connections with animals because I treat them as if they were my own, I give lots and lots Of love And affection to dogs of all shapes,sizes,ages, Ect.ect. My schedule is very flexible if needed. If you’re Bringing The Dog here I’d Bring it’s essentials (Toys,Food,Leashes) Anything to Make your dog as comfortable here as they are At home. If there is anything I need to know or special requests for your pets safety & comfort Just let me know anytime and any chance that you get. If you have any questions Just ask any time ❤️ Im on call whenever! It’s all about consistency and making time for them in a way that aligns with my other responsibilities which isn’t hard at all!! I always assert my role as the provider and companion for your pet (not just mine) I’m always going to keep my eye on them because I know how some are more curious than the rest!
About: I’ve been walking my two dogs around downtown for more than 5 years—we know all the best spots! I nursed one of my dogs during surgical recovery and both are technically geriatric at this point, so I have experience with dogs of nearly all ages. Would love to get to know your fur babies! I work remotely downtown so my schedule is fairly flexible. Some days I have no meetings at all! Even when I do, they are few and far between. I generally tend to stay local to Downtown when I’m not working too. Plenty of walks and playtime, always making sure to keep an eye on them so they stay out of trouble. My dogs love to snuggle so we often curl up on the couch with a good show or movie!
About: Hi! I’m Tracy — a lifelong animal lover with a Masters and PhD in environmental policy from The Ohio State University. My background reflects how deeply I care about the well-being of all creatures, great and small. Caring for pets isn’t a side gig for me; it’s something that’s been part of my life since childhood. I grew up with three wonderful dogs of various sizes, and as an adult I’ve had a large dog of my own, two small dogs, and a cat. One of my pups was adopted from a shelter, two came to me from foster parents, and my cat was a stray who chose our home — so I’m very comfortable with pets who have unique personalities, histories, or special needs. I’m gentle, patient, and very responsible. Whether your pet needs a long walk, calm companionship, or lots of playtime, I tailor my care to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. You can expect great communication, attention to detail, and a genuine love for your furry family member. I would be honored to earn your trust and care for your pets like they’re my own. 💛🐶🐾 I'm currently a home-maker, so I have a very flexible schedule to take care of your pet's needs. I have openings 7 days a week, mornings, afternoons and evenings. I prefer to come to your home to tend to your pet. I do have a fenced in yard for my dogs, but my terrier mix can be a little bossy. I'm always open to having your pet meet my terrier though if you'd like your fur baby to stay for a visit at our house.
“Once again, Kelly is truly a gem! She stayed overnight with my fur baby Fox Fox and went above and beyond to make sure he felt safe, loved, and completely at ease while I was away. He is in the best hands when Kelly’s around — calm, content, and totally spoiled with love and attention. Kelly’s updates are always reassuring and heartfelt, and her genuine care for animals really shines through. I am so grateful to have someone so dependable and compassionate looking after my little gent. Thank you, Kelly, and until next time! 🐾”

“Emily is extremely kind and communicative! She sent me photos daily of my pups, she followed my instructions to a T, she kept my house extremely clean, and I would recommend her to anyone! My dogs were so happy when we came home and that tells me everything I need to know about her. She’s the best!”


About: Hi! I am a pet owner and enthusiast. Since I am a professor, I work from home and have a lot of free time in summers and holidays to hang out with your wonderful dog. I love getting to know a pet’s wants, anticipate their anxieties, and most importantly play! My work requires me to be on-site part time, so I am quite flexible for overnight stays, extra long walks, and boarding at my place with my sheltie Flora. I have a two bedroom apartment with my sweet, spayed sheltie Flora who loves to play and take naps. I am quite active so I would be happy to take your dog on long epic walks.
“Zach was such a blessing to us. He was so understanding and flexible with our needs and our old doggies and kitties love him. He was attentive and thorough with all our millions of instructions for taking care of our geriatric Great Danes with many health issues. He also took care of some things last minute for us that I had forgotten to do. It was such a relief to find someone we could trust to stay with our boys. Thank you Zach ❤️”
“Meghan was a terrific dog sister. Our little 8 pound Maltese looked like he loved every minute of his time with her. She took him on long walks, play time and sent us pics everyday. We could tell by the look on his face how happy he was with her. couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter.”

“Morgan did an excellent job taking care of our house and our two doggies while we were away. We loved the photos and appreciated her flexibility when our travel plans changed. We highly recommend Morgan and would love to have her back in the future.”

“Mikaela is fantastic! She took great care of my senior dog. Her regular photos and updates put my mind at ease and let me know he was in really good hands. I highly recommend Mikaela!”

“Anna went above and beyond to take care of our dog. She gave her medicine and kept us updated every day with the cutest photos. Our dog uses a muzzle outside and Anna was so diligent in caring for her special needs. I would recommend Anna over and over again. She couldn’t have been better.”

Sarah was great watching our two adorable if not anxious and energetic pups! She was great about fitting in a meet and greet and was communicative through the whole process. She was comfortable and great with them both right away and not put off by them as they adjusted to meeting her. Especially our 11 month old puppy. During her two night stay with them she sent photos and updates, and adjusted to accommodate their anxiety the first night when they were confused about where we were. She took them for walks independently and they both looked happy and relaxed in her care! As a first time user of this app, our minds were at ease and we are so glad to have had her and will definitely use her again!

Jacinda was great! We have 3 big dogs and she did a great job taking care of them -- our dogs all liked her so much that by day 3 our skittish Pyrenees was up on the sofa with her. She gave us daily check-ins with photos like we asked for and was very prompt responding to any questions we had. The house was tidy and neat when we got back, and she was even thoughtful enough to wash and dry the towels and sheets we had in our laundry basket. If we needed a house sitter again, we would absolutely reach out to Jacinda!

Tracy was amazing. She cared for my fur babies like her own. The pictures she sent were so awesome and even had her husband take a few professional pictures. Definitely going to use her again. I would highly recommend her for your pet care when traveling. Thank you Tracy

Katelyn was very responsible and took care of not only our cat, but fed the birds, fed the feral cat, took care of the koi pond and all of our outdoor potted plants. She responded promptly to my texts & left no doubt in my mind that all was okay while we were gone. I would definitely hire her again.
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Marie! She did a great job with our cat and kitty and was kind enough to send us videos, pictures, and updates via text. She also did a beautiful job picking up our house while she was there. We will definitely look to no other than Marie for future cat sitting. Marie is also a very sweet and kind person. We love her!!!

I booked with Nikolai to house sit my senior boxer while we were away on a trip. He was very reliable, respectful of our space and provided daily updates to us about how Callie (our dog) was doing. Nikolai cleaned the house before he left at the end of our booking although we didn’t ask/expect him to. Callie can get a bit down when we are away and Nikolai spent lots of time with her to keep her company. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing that someone was there with her most of the day. I would definitely book with Nikolai again!

Mikaela did a wonderful job watching our furkids. Our senior dog is on several medications and is beginning to have some mobility issues. Mikaela was very attentive to her schedule and extra needs. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay. Highly recommend!

It was our first time using rover, so I was bit never nervous, but Laila answered all my questions with ease and confidence! Our koda definitely loved having someone new to be around and play with! She left our apartment just the way we left it and even cleaned the sheets! Definitely would recommend her and definitely booking again in the future!
