“Emily was amazing as a sitting for our two cats. One cat in particular can be a challenge with food guarding but Emily handled her with such professionalism and won her over. She was detailed with her messages and sent lots of photos. I highly recommend using Emily as a pet sitter!”

“Samantha did a great job taking care of our Finn. She treated him with the same care and understanding that we shoutout dog. We look forward to connecting with Samantha for future care of Finn.”

“Kaitlyn was amazing. She sent updates and several pictures for every visit, her notes were always very detailed and she was very communicative with us about our dog. 100% recommend her.”

“Rachel was fabulous with our cats! She was communicative and updating us at all times. She was very attentive with our cats with all of their needs! She made the process super easy as first time rover users. It made our time away from our house very stress free! I’d recommend her to anybody on rover!”

About: I have owned, fostered, and volunteered with animals for over 10 years. Not only that, I have experience with providing animal therapy in a clinical setting for the last two years. Dogs and cats hold a big piece of my heart and I genuinely love to accommodate to their needs. I have experience raising puppies and kittens, taking care of elderly cats and dogs, and dogs and cats that have behavioral problems. I am familiar on how to care for dogs that have aggressive tendencies, anxiety, and hip problems. Likewise, I have experience handling cats with aggression and timidness. I am a small business owner and have days where I work from home. I could use that time to not only make extra money, but spend time with dogs and cats as well! I make sure to provide as much affection, activity, and attention to my pets to the best of my ability. Which I ensure the same treatment is given to your pets too. Depending on what service you would like me to provide, I am more than happy to go on long walks with your dog, offer enrichment, or maybe you have a lapdog that just needs a temporary companion. I am dependable and have the experience and genuine care and trust to ensure your pet has the best experience possible.

About: I have had big dogs at home my whole life! I am going to medical school in the fall and would love to make some extra money taking care of your furry friends! I have a bachelors degree, have experience raising puppies, and taking care of senior dogs! I have dog sat many times for friends and family. I am free most days after May 1st! I am available anytime of day for walks, drop ins, and pet sitting. I don’t have any limits on the time you’d like me to stay with your pet! I have a car and can easily drive within the Columbus area. I am very active and can lift/ carry/ walk dogs of any size! I am willing to walk or play as much as necessary meet your dog’s enrichment needs!
“Marlyn was great with my anxious pup. Violet was nervous when she came in and Marlyn took the time to make her comfortable. She provided visit photos and it was clear that violet was happy and relaxed with her. I will definitely work with her again!”

“Mariya was great! She was communicative and sent pictures throughout her visit with my dog. She also asked additional questions to make sure all needs were met. Thanks so much Mariya!”

About: Hii ! my name is Maasha ( Pronounced like the month of May and ah sha) or Maemae ! I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs. I have a 6-year-old Shih Tzu named Paris, and she’s the sweetest girl ever. I also spend time at dog shelters playing with and caring for dogs, which has helped me get comfortable with different personalities and energy levels. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I can assure you that I’m very patient and attentive. I always make sure your fur babies feel comfortable and safe with me. I’m used to feeding, walking, giving medication if needed, and spending quality time with dogs. Pet care fits really well into my routine because I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, where I can stay with your pet and keep them company. I make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention they need, and I’ll always keep you updated so you know your pet is in good hands. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for pets. I always follow your instructions and keep your pet on their normal routine so they feel comfortable. I also have a large trail park near my place for walks if approved. I’ll make sure your pet is safe and happy
“Gina is fantastic. She communicates everything and went above and beyond with our dachshund. It was wonderful to know someone with vet experience was helping to take care of her as she recovers from an injury.”


About: Dog walking and pet sitting was my first job growing up, helping neighbors and friends with their pets. I’ve always had a love for animals and grew up around dogs, so spending time with them comes naturally to me. I believe pets are family, and I take extra care to treat each one like my own, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I currently have multiple days off mid-week which allows me the flexibility to help out while you are at work on out of town. Currently I’m not available to host at my home, although I do have two cats, and had one dog until she passed away last year; they all run a tight ship.
About: I've lived with pets my whole life and have found a passion for caring for animals with the same love you have for them! I specialize in cats of all ages and dogs over the age of one. I've had about 5 years of experience in working with anxious dogs who are scared of everything - very used to taking a long time to grt scaredy dogs outside. With that, I'm very experienced in delivering medications or cleaning up messes. I understand how stressed our fur babies feel when we need to leave them and my main goal is to make them as comfortable as absolutely possible. I work full time Monday-Friday but do have some work from home days during the week. I would be more than happy to visit your home during the day for walks or quick take outs! I am also happy to come visit you and your fur babies at anytime to get a better idea of your schedule. I am working on getting Fear Free certified and would be more than happy to provide that certification once acquired. I would be happy to crate your pets if needed. I'll send plenty of photos and updates throughout my visit!
“My dog Griswald fell IN LOVE instantly when he first me Theresa and was so excited for her drop in visits! Easy communication and expectations exceeded! Will be booking again!”
“Cayley was amazing. She did everything we asked and more to make Bruce feel comfortable. She is very good with communication and very friendly. I highly recommend!”

“Carina checked in on our 2 cats over a long weekend, and we were very pleased with the experience. She was attentive, caring, and went above and beyond to ensure our cats were well taken care of. She even watered our plants without being asked. We’ll definitely be requesting her again in the future!”

About: We had lab mixes starting from when I was 8. After college, I lived in LA and became a frequent dog sitter. I love knowing that I’m breaking up their time alone and can be a helpful social break for them. I am a stay-at-home mom, so I’m used to running errands. This is something meaningful I can do with the time that I have during the week. I treat people (and their spaces) as I would want to be treated. I am trustworthy and responsible. I always meet new animals with a calm presence.
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for as long as I can remember — basically, animals have always been part of my life. For the past 10 years, I’ve had my cat Lucky, who proudly believes he is the boss of the house 😄 He’s the reason I fell completely in love with cats and decided to turn this passion into cat sitting. To me, pets are not just pets — they have personalities, feelings, and strong opinions (especially cats!). My main priority is always making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable, just like they would with their own family. With 4 years of cat sitting experience, I’ve learned how to “speak cat” pretty well. I can connect with all kinds of personalities — even the shy or “I don’t trust you yet” type. And honestly, those are the ones I end up winning over the most 😄 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide care during weekdays and weekends I provide pet care through drop-in visits at the client’s home only. I do not offer overnight stays, and I do not take cats into my own home

Haleigh came everyday at the exact time she said she would be there. She did a pre-visit to meet them and was easy to get in contact with while I was gone. She would send me pictures and updates. She also took in a few packages that had arrived at my house. I know my kitties loved her! I would recommend her.

Eric is amazing! He watched my almost 1 year old puppy Kuzco. You can tell that he has a lot of experience caring for animals. He spent some quality time playing with Kuzco and was attentive to all his needs. It was great that he sent a photo and updated me on how Kuzco was doing. I will definitely be booking with him again!

Lauren was once again a perfect sitter for our senior cat! Loved the photos every day and she is always well taken care of. When we were supposed to have winter weather, Lauren also asked what she could do and made sure our thermostat was at a certain temperature as not to have any issues. We are moving out of the area and I know my cat will miss her vacation times with Lauren! Thank you for everything!
