House Sitting Downtown

“Sheridan was great watching our two dogs and cat at our house while we were gone! She even came over a week early to meet us and the dogs which we really appreciated. She was very communicative, sending great pics every day where we were gone. Will definitely reach out to her for future sitting needs!”

“Miriam did the best job taking care of our dog while we were out of town. Miriam did a great job communicating, sending photos, updates, and left our home in fantastic condition. We have a senior dog with some anxiety, and Miriam was very experienced and understanding, which truly can’t express how much that’s appreciated. Would rebook with Miriam any time and suggest you to do the same!”

“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!”

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!

“Kun was absolutely amazing staying with our dog while we were out of town for a week. She took excellent care of him and went above and beyond. Kun sent many updates and pictures and also took him on lots of walk. We were able to relax knowing he was in such good hands. Will definitely rebook with Kun again!”

“Christine is the best! As a first-time Rover user, going oversees, leaving a menagerie of animals...Christine put my mind at rest. She did an excellent job for of caring for each of my pets and keeping me up to date of everything by sending many precious photos. My home and plants were also very well cared full. I'm very grateful to have found her and will certainly use her again!”

Lily C.

“Haley was amazing and my pets loved her! Even my cat who hates most people loved her which is crazy!! She was very great at communicating and giving me update on my babies while I was gone.”

“Sabrina was amazing and took great care of Perrin. Loved the photo updates.”

“Erica was a wonderful pet sitter. She was sweet, courteous, intuitive to our family and home, timely, and followed all instructions without hesitation. Our fur baby was happy & well taken care of upon our arrival home. We look forward to having Erica help out in the future for overnight stays, dog walks & cuddles!”

Brandi C.

“Essence was amazing! We have a fairly difficult dog that struggles with anxiety and that manifests itself in what most would consider to be aggressive behavior. She was amazing at earning his trust and becoming a trusted person in his life. After only a couple of hours he was comfortable with her presence in our home. I cannot stress enough how rare that is for our dog! On the other side of things, she was in constant communication with us and sent many pictures and updates each day. She is clearly passionate about animals and I would recommend her services to anyone and everyone. 10/10 will book again!”

“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 ❤️”

“Riley was great with our senior dog and very responsive. I would recommend her!”

About: Hi!🫶🏼 I Would love to help care for your animals in any capacity. I have extensive experience with animals and have worked at a dog boarding kennel in the past in addition to growing up with pets. I have worked with aggressive dogs and am comfortable reading a dog’s cues to prevent escalation. I currently have a Bernese mountain dog who is always down for a play date and a cat who tolerates her antics haha. Bonus- I’m an ER nurse, far from a vet tech, but good for med admin if needed! With that, I do work 3 shifts a week(12 hours) that vary. So while my schedule can be sporadic, it can also be very open! I work full time 3 days a week and use rover sitters myself for those days. My schedule varies, but I am great for last minute needs as long as I’m not working! I try to stick to your pet’s routine and rules! I am also very good at recognizing body language/behaviors and therefore can prevent “incidents” from occurring like aggression on walks. I’m also happy to bring along my Berner for a play date if you’d like!

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.

“Michael did an excellent job watching my dog Charlie while I was on a business trip. He catered to my dog's needs and stayed on his medication schedule and routine, which is everything. I definitely will be using Michael as a repeat sitter again and again. He's a great guy and loves animals and it show.”

“We loved having Mikaela watch our two papipoos! She was attentive, great with communication. She wasn’t afraid to ask questions to ensure that they got the best care for them. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: Hi! I’m Alexandra and I’m born and raised here in Ohio. I grew up with dogs all of my life, and love spending time with and taking care of animals big and small! I have experience with taking care of puppies, senior dogs, and small and large breeds. I also have experience giving medications and love taking dogs on walks long + short, whatever your pets need! I am available for overnight care all week long! I do have a full time job, but Monday-Friday I am available after 7 most days for walks! And my weekends I am free all day :) I have a dog park and multiple green spaces within walking distance of my home. And I’m more than happy to take pets to local parks on long or short walks!

“Kai was amazing watching Cholula while I was gone! Cholula has a few quirks but Kai handled everything about her marvelously and made sure she was taken care of during my trip. I was sent multiple pictures while I was away which made me feel like Cholula was in great hands. Additionally, my apartment was in great shape when I returned. I couldn’t recommend Kai enough if you’re looking for someone to watch your pet while away, they were fantastic to work with from beginning to end!”

About: As a PhD student with 15+ years of experience, I'm organized, responsible, and committed to providing high-quality care. I have a special knack for connecting with furry family members—whether they're energetic, shy, or somewhere in between. I take the time to learn each dog's unique personality and have been trusted by neighbors, family, friends, and colleagues throughout Columbus, OH and beyond! I work remotely, allowing me ample time for dog walking and pup check-ins. I’m typically available weekdays from 7:30am to 5:30 pm and am happy to extend availability as needed. In addition to keeping pets happy, my #1 goal is to give you peace of mind. With a dog of my own, I understand the importance of attentiveness, care, cleanliness, and timeliness. Whether hosting a play date or going for a midday walk, your pup is safe in Candice’s care!

“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! 🐾”
