About: I’ve always had a strong connection with animals, they seem to know that I love and care for them immediately. I’ve had the most antisocial pets snuggling me within the first few minutes of knowing me. I’m not a magician but I will treat your beloved babies with same amount of care and love as I would with my own. I can be booked from anytime! This is my only obligation and it’s what I’m passionate about, I look forward to caring for your fur babies! Every pet is different and has their own routine they’re accustomed to. I try to know as much about their day to day as much as I can prior to, so I can provide the best and most comfortable experience for your babies! I’m very adaptable, so anything I haven’t done before I will learn quick. I will treat each and every client, (and their pets) with respect and honesty.
“Samantha did great with Bear. She was communicative and provided regular updates while I was out of town for the weekend. She also took great care of the place. I would definitely recommend Samantha to anybody looking for a dog sitter”
About: Ever since I was young, I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for family, friends, and neighbors. I have experience with foster and rescues, and can accommodate any of your pets needs. I just recently moved to Columbus, and am working part time. I’m available all day most Monday & Sundays. I’m also available before 3pm from Tuesday-Saturday. Before caring for your pet, I would like to meet and discuss any training, needs, and routines. I’m also available to administer medication if needed.
“Steph was really great with the pups. I have a senior dog as well that needs a little extra attention and she took care of everything with no problems. Will definitely use her again!”
“Denise was a great sitter for our old guys who need a little more care. She was so sweet and patient with them and double checked with me about timing before leaving. She sent pictures each day and when she got there and when she left. We got home and to our surprise, she had washed the sheets and put them on the bed as well as the towels and did some other cleaning around the house. I am 8 months pregnant and I can’t express how much that meant! I would definitely recommend having her watch your furry family members.”
“Aisha was amazing with our three month old puppy! She kept him very happy and she sent us great updates throughout the weekend! She will take great care of your pets!!”
“Madeline was a wonderful dog sitter to my 2 dogs Luke and Chase. She stayed at our home while my husband and I were away and she followed instructions on our dogs care very precisely. She is very sweet and my dogs I’m sure can sense that. Madeline has had dogs of her own so she understands how to care for them well. During our initial meet and greet she took notes in the things I was saying regarding their care which was appreciated. She gave me daily updates and photos to assure me things were going smoothly. She also left our home nice and neat just as we had left it. I would highly recommend Madeline to anyone who wants their animals looked after!”
About: Your baby will have my sole attention as I only board one dog at a time, unless other pets are from the same family. I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages, puppies and older. I have given senior care to all of my wonderful dogs in my past. Currently, I have no pets. I have worked with House Sitters America for years. I spent two weeks in Albuquerque, NM, taking care of two big dogs in the pet owners’ home. The owners left on vacation and hired me to take care of their pets and home while they were gone. I have also spent two weeks twice in Cheyenne, WY, taking care of two small dogs while the parents were away. They hired me in the winter, then again in the summer. I have hired Rover sitters for many years, all over the United States - from Washington State to Maine, to Texas, and to Georgia, as I traveled, and I know what I appreciated from each sitter and will give you the same care and services. I am retired so have plenty of time to take care of your beautiful pets. I love dogs and they will feel right at home. I have a fenced, grassy, doggy area with a doggy door. I have a crate, if you prefer. I will spend most of my time with your pet. They entertain me as much as I entertain them.
“Mikalya did a fantastic job with my girls, with lots of attention and pictures. My pups were happy and content when I returned home. Would happily have her sit with them again!!”
“She took great care of our two girls wonderfully. One of our dogs got an upset tummy and she was great about helping clean up the mess. She’s in the military. I feel silly for not thanking her for that service also.”
About: Hello!! I am a 21 year old college student. I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager and I do pet-sit outside of rover as well. I have a lot of experience in different animals ranges from dogs to Guinea pigs to snakes. I am very patient with animals and I love to learn about all the different animals I pet-sit and their preferences. In my family we do not believe in giving up on pets when they get older so I have lots of experience with older animals!! I am currently a part-time college student, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets! I am busy throughout the week so I will only be doing pet-sitting during the weekends when I am off. So if you need a weekend get away then I am person for you!! I don’t believe in fitting an animal into a busy schedule, I would ensure they would be my main priority. I will take care of your pet based on the instructions that are given. I know I would want my pet-sitter to take care of my babies a certain way, so make sure to follow every owners specific rules so I can take care of their fur baby to the best of my ability.
“Kory did a wonderful job with our two pups. Consistent and clear communication over a long weekend. We hired Kory to house sit and will absolutely be using his services again. He even woke up at 5am to administer anti-anxiety medication to our anxious dog during a tornado warning. We returned to two relaxed dogs and a clean house. Thanks, Kory!”
“Besaida was a great sitter for my pup Shiloh. Her communication was excellent, and Shiloh was so happy when I got home. I look forward to booking her again in the future.”
About: I am a huge dog lover. I have been taking care of dogs since I was a child. Most of my experience is with large dogs, specifically German Shepherds and labs, but I have cared for many small dogs. I trained my German Shepherd from a puppy. I bake dog treats so please let me know if your pupper has any allergy concerns! I have traveled a lot of the last few years for work, so I know the importance of having a sitter or walker that you can trust. I will provide constant updates so you can have peace of mind while your best friend is on vacation as well. I work full-time from the office. I am usually not available during the work week for boarding due to my long work days. On my off days, I spend most of the day around the house playing with my dog, going on walks, or working on his training. I want my dog and dogs I watch to be happy and comfortable. I let them on the furniture and sleep in my bed. I have a decent sized backyard which allows the dogs to run around and play outside in nice weather.
“Gina and James, thank you so much for taking good care of my three greyhounds! I couldn’t recommend this couple enough! Gina is punctual, caring, and professional. She and James are a great team and they took good care of my three dogs for five consecutive days. I came home to happy tail wagging greyhounds and to a clean home! I know first hand how much effort it takes to keep my house in a decent tidy shape, because my dogs love to dig holes and sprint at full speed in the backyard, and they don’t stop to wipe their four paws before entering the house. So they often drag dirt and mud into the family room carpet and onto my kitchen tiled floor, multiple times a day. It’s no small job to keep my house clean, yet Gina and James did just that. I highly recommend their services. They are dependable, and I know I will be calling on them for help again. Many thanks and much gratitude to you, G&J!”

“We have two labs, the youngest of which is a puppy. Cameron is amazing with them both-we are so lucky to have found him! He has been great when we have to be out of town and away from our sweet pups. He has helped with training our youngest lab to be more calm but will get out there and throw the frisbee or ball to him, until he is completely worn out! Our older lab is 8 years old and she absolutely adores Cameron too! I honestly cannot say enough great things about Cameron and the peace of mind we have, knowing he is taking such great care of our sweet babies!”

“Rianna has watched both of our dogs whenever we go out of town. One of our dogs is a hound mix and is pretty hyper active and our other is a pit mix who loves to lay around all day. She is great at getting them the exercise they need as well as giving them lots of love and snuggles. We are pretty picky when it comes to dog sitters because we have high expectations and Rianna has exceeded those expectations every time. She sends pictures and videos along with her updates, which allows us to have peace of mind while we are away. We are so happy that our pups have a home away from home!”
