“Samantha did great with my two girls. Friendly and good to them. Kept in contact with me everyday and gave me great feedback. She was professional and loving to my girls. That’s all I can ask for. I will be using her again.”

“Leaving an older dog with a stranger is hard. needless to say Mark made this step easy, he meet jack, was there when he said. send pics daily and had great commutation with us. we defiantly recommend Rover and Mark to anyone needing a sitter. and will use again.”

“Jennifer was great with our little guy. We got multiple updates each day as requested and our puppy was happy and healthy when we got home which is all we could ask for as neurotic dog parents:)”
“Evie stayed at our home, over the long holiday weekend, to watch our two large Labradors. She provided excellent care, and played with them often in our backyard. Evie was a wonderful house guest! You couldn’t even tell she had been staying there. She provided great communication which was a huge plus, so we didn’t have to worry about our fur babies. We look forward to using Evie for our next trip away!”


About: I grew up with cats & dogs and I currently have 2 dogs ages 5 & 3, which I've trained & housebroke from puppies. I am also a cat lover. Unfortunately one of my children is allergic to cats, so I do not have any at home. However, I prefer cats and LOVE to interact with them. My parents own cats and I'm the go-to sitter when they go on vacation. I currently work full time at my career job with the State of Ohio, but am available to pet sit after 5 pm on weekdays and anytime over the weekends. If necessary, I could visit early mornings on weekdays for potty/food needs before my day job, between 5 am - 7 am. Although I have pets of my own, I know yours will have different personalities and needs from my own. I will follow your instructions for the dos and don't when interacting and caring for your pets.
“Kami was great. My dogs looked so happy with her. She stayed at my house and I felt so comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands. She even put our trash out on trash day! Highly recommend!!”


“My 2 senior dogs loved Maggie and Travis! We are grateful to have such a nice couple close to our home. They also responded quickly after my first inquiry on Rover and showed up short notice the next day. Very happy for our connection and will use them often.”

About: I have three pets of my own. Two rescue cats and one pound puppy. I have experience administrating medications from eye drops to diabetic shots. I work from home so am always available to sit in house or stop by multiple times a day. I’ve always been very good with animals and love spending my time with them. I am very excited to get to know you and your fur babies! I work remotely in sales so I am very flexible on times for visits and walks. This also allows me to stay in houses if it is needed or required! I would prefer to care for fur babies in the clients home as I have pets of my own. However we do have a very large back yard so if your dog needed a place to let loose and run around this could be accommodated!
“Sierra watched out two dogs for the first time and we could not be happier! We received updates and pictures of our pups and felt very comfortable having her watch them! We will be using Sierra again!”

“LOVE LOVE LOVE AMBER! I cannot explain how much my family and I love her! She took AMAZING care of my house and dogs while I was away I will be using her EVERYTIME I need a pet sitter/house sitter! Communication was perfect her taking care of the dogs was perfect! We LOVE Amber! Thank you again for all that you did for us while we were away! We will definitely have you back!”
About: I've had pets of my own all my life as well as cared for others pets from my teen years to now. Now I do this full time. This is my job. It's what I do full time. All hours. I have a husband and 3 girls but now they're older and I can follow my dreams and can include them at times to play with pets. I will give your pet/s the love and care they deserve as well as listening to your instructions. Currently I only do pets sitting in my clients homes but we're expanding!
“Cassidy was amazing!! She sent pics, videos and took my baby to a game and the park!! She is a amazing sitter!! So happy to have found her!! Definitely will be booking with her again!!”

About: I’ve had very many different types of dogs in our family through the years. I’ve raised dogs from 6 weeks old to senior. I have experience with giving dogs medicine and following special meal schedules. I have stayed over with dogs and cats for family and friends while they were on vacation, etc. for 20+ years. I absolutely love all animals and promise to love yours too! This is my only source of employment so I can be really flexible and accommodating to your needs and your pet’s needs. Whether it be for potty breaks, taking your pet for a walk, abiding by food/medication schedules, or extended stays. I am available to sit in your home to keep your pet feeling as comfortable and safe as possible. I am familiar with building trust with dogs as well. If you don’t need a daily/nightly sitter, you can count on me to potty your dog at a minimum of every 4 hours.
About: I am a sitter and walker who is very patient with all dogs, especially energetic ones. I love all animals, and because I am an athlete, I have lots of energy, so if your dog wants to run while we walk and play, I happily will! If they do not, I am always calm as well and will be patient with your dog. I walk my dog Charlie every day, and I also walk my sister's dog, Finn. I am always happy to go outside and get some fresh air. I play with Charlie as much as I can until he’s tired (which is literally never), and I always make sure he’s got plenty of water.
About: I would say what sets me apart is I’ve had special training incase of any type of emergency or mishap. I am a very forgiving person also. My schedule is fairy open so I have time to fit most a lot of things in. One of which is taking care of animals I most walk them at the park or play with animals in my house. My home can fit 1-2 dogs or 3 cats at a time
