About: i’ve had dogs and cats my whole life growing up. Assisted at numerous animal shelters. I’ve had my own dog for three years. She’s very well taken care of. I’ve watched numerous friends and families animals throughout my childhood and adulthood. I’m very competent and confident in my skills with animal caretaking. currently, I’m in the transition of graduate school to my first role as a physician assistant. I have a lot of flexibility in upcoming months to take care of animals and this is something I would like to do not only for my own enjoyment, but for a side income. I’m available pretty much anytime throughout the week, I just need a heads up. I am willing to care for your pets however you see and feel as needed. My personal dog is crate trained and potty trained. She spends most of her day outside of the crate. She’s very well trained both on and off leash. I am happy to accommodate, however you need for your animals.
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and spent nearly 25 years living with and caring for them. I’m the go-to sitter for my friends, regularly watching their dogs for days or even weeks at a time. From tiny Yorkie and Basenji puppies to medium Cockapoos and extra-large rescues, I’ve walked, trained, and cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I tailor every walk to your pup, whether they prefer a slow stroll with plenty of breaks or a steady jog (I recently ran the Big Ten 10K representing my alma mater, Ohio State). Outside of dog walking, I’ve spent over a decade working in the energy field and recently took an intentional career break after a meaningful year helping rebuild Puerto Rico’s electric grid. You can count on me for reliable, loving care every time. I’m currently taking an intentional career break, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I’m happy to support one-time walks, last-minute requests, or ongoing, routine care - whatever works best for you and your pup. I care for pets as if they were my own, with attention to their unique routines, personalities, and needs. Before any booking, I like to do a quick check-in to align on expectations, learn about your pet’s habits, preferences, and any special care instructions. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by following their established schedule, maintaining their space, and keeping things clean and consistent. Whether it’s walks, feedings, playtime, or medications, I provide calm, attentive care and clear communication every step of the way.
About: I grew up with a family dog and was always involved in feeding and walks. As an adult I've watched and checked on dogs for several family members and friends. I am available for feedings and walks and happy to work on any training or commands with your pets! I have experience with all dog sizes. This is currently my full-time job so I have a wide range of availability! I will also be in Columbus for most of the summer so I'm happy to help during any summer vacation plans! I am very respectful of any house rules while dog sitting. I have watched dogs that cannot be alone in yards or need to be crated while alone or during the night. I will do everything I need to make sure the dog is comfortable while I watch them and to respect your home.
About: I started pet sitting when I was around 13 with my next-door neighbor’s dog Shiloh. I grew up with her and had played with her before so she was a great starting point for me! Since then, I have watched family/friends pets whenever they were sick or went out of town and have been doing so for years, throughout high school. My freshman year of college, my roommate has a service dog in training, and I’ve learned even more about dog training and dog care in general from him. I’m an upcoming 3rd year student at OSU off for the summer semester, so my schedule is pretty free and flexible for the next few month. I have a pet cat, so I may come already covered in cat hair that pets may be wary of, so I like to take my time getting them acclimated to me. I’m very open to owner’s routines and hope to care for your pets in the way you would care for them yourself!
“Molly was AMAZING! She stepped right in when I contacted her last minute with short notice for help to have someone walk my pup. Biscuit immediately connected with her because of her gentle and kind spirit. I definitely recommend booking Molly!!”
“Madison has been walking Stella for a couple weeks now. She does a fantastic job. She is respectful of my home and takes care of my fur baby with great care. Highly recommend 😊”
About: I’ve have had a family cats and dogs my whole life that I have fed, walked, played with, and loved. Also, I have pet sat for multiple friends and family who have relied on me to do the same for their pets. I am familiar with Rover as I have been working for the app for over 3 years and have now dog and cat sit numerous times. I work a 8am-5pm job but have the flexibility to offer services early morning, midday, evening times and weekends. Will schedule around work to make sure I take care of your pets in a timely manner. I would care for your pets just like I would care for my own. No matter the living situation of a client, I will always prioritize the pets safety, health, and happiness.
About: I've always grown up with dogs and spent a lot of time caring for them. I have my own miniature Australian Shepherd, and my roommate has a 5-month-old Boston terrier. I have experience with all varieties of dogs- high or low energy and puppies up to seniors. I am comfortable and have experience administering medications as well. I am very excited to watch your pup and take excellent care of them :) I am a nurse who works 3 12's a week so I am available all other days to care for your dog. I also work night shift, so my schedule is very flexible! My schedule varies each week, so I am willing to accommodate for you and your pup. I aim to provide a calm and safe environment for all pets! My apartment has a large green area that many dog owners use to walk their dogs. I also send photos with each visit to ensure you are getting updates and know exactly how your pup is doing. I am happy to discuss any and all needs in order to provide the best care to your pet!
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.
About: I grew up with English mastiffs as a child. In college I helped raise two crazy husky puppies and watched them grow up! After college I rescued a pitty mix as a puppy who had some issues. I have gone through training courses with her and she has grown up into a sweetheart. I am currently unemployed so very flexible to walk and take care of pets! I am out of town some weekends but that is not on consistent schedule currently. I will treat your home as it is my own, and leave it how I found it. I am a massive animal lover that can barely kill a fly! Your pets will be pet and loved while you are away.

Growing up Kelly has always been responsible in feeding, walking and entertaining our family pets.

Kelly is not new to this, she has babysat since middle school which often also comes with the responsibility of taking care of that family’s pet. She is a very trustworthy and caring person. She is an awesome choice for a pet sitter!!”
