About: Hello, I grew up with a houseful of pets and now I am an owner to 3 small dogs and 3 kitties. As a mom to four daughters and six pets, I understand the stress of trying to plan a vacation away from home. I have dealt with my share of good and bad Pet Sitters over the last few years. I am 41 years old and have strong moral values and am very compassionate/ empathetic to all people and I feel that it is important to say about my character in these wild, uncertain modern times. I do have a full-time job that is 100% remote and very flexible in my daily schedule. I would like to meet new local families and help provide reliable, trustworthy care for your beloved pets! I have a fully remote, flexible schedule. My kids do not play any sports so I don’t have extra curricular activities to attend regularly. I’m hoping to find people in my area or surrounding neighborhoods. I am not ready to board in my home since it is a full house here with four kids, three dogs and 3 cats but I have the freedom and ability to come to your home, let your pets outside, feed them, give medicine, take a walk and give lots of pets and belly rubs.
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Carly! She was flexible with drop off and pick up times, took him for several long walks, played with him, and sent great photo/video updates! She even wrote him a little report card 🥹 She went above and beyond and my pup can’t wait to visit her again! Thank you so much!”
“Justen was great with my dog Honey! She is a little nervous around other dogs after previously getting attacked and he made sure she felt comfortable and safe! I would definitely let him watch her again!”
“Hands down the best! My first time using Rover and I was a little nervous. Rose kept me up to date with many photos throughout the stay and had timely communication. Can't wait to book again!”
“Khalyn did a wonderful job! Her two pups were equally awesome. My Corso/ Shepherd was well taken care of. Received updates with photos and videos throughout his stay. Would love to book again. Thanks Khalyn!”
“We boarded our mini schnauzers Rudy and Zula for a two week stay with Kieran and Nicole. This was their first time ever being away from us for a long period; Zula is almost 2 and Rudy is over 13 years old, so completely opposite ends of the spectrum age-wise. They are very knowledgeable about dogs and dog behavior, and are very attentive to the specialized needs of each dog. They communicated with us so wonderfully while we were on vacation about how our dogs were doing, and that really helped us to relax and enjoy our trip even more knowing that our dogs were in the best of care. They loved them as part of the family like we do, and got to bond with and know our dogs’ personalities really well! I would get daily pictures, written updates, and sometimes videos, and the dogs looked well adjusted and very happy in their new surroundings. Absolutely wonderful experience!”
“Our experience with Jasmine was nothing but positive! Our boy Benji fell in love with her family especially her little girl. He was well taken care of for the 2 weeks we were away. She updated us with photos and messages throughout our trip. We would definitely book with her again. ??”
“Alyissia was great! Winry was happy and tired when I picked her up which is great for us after a busy weekend away! We plan to use them again in the future 🥰 Thank you!”
“Joyce was incredible with Olivia!!! She was super responsive, sent lots of updates, and Olivia seemed to have a wonderful time with her. She will be our first go to if we ever need a sitter for our sweet girl!”
“Jade was simply phenomenal. Flexible, upbeat and commmunicative, she spoiled my little guy, and he came back the most happy and relaxed I have seen him in years of boarding. I will definitely use her services again, and you should too!”
“Joy was absolutely wonderful and even though Rocky had a bit of a tough 1st day she made sure he felt comfortable and adjusted to his new settings after a little while. Joy made sure to give us frequent updates and sent pictures as well. We will definitely use Joy in the future and appreciate her very much.”
“They took care of my Doberman so well. Atla was super happy there and seemed to really enjoy them 😊 I really appreciate the love care and attention they gave to her.”
About: Hello! I'm a proud Upper Arlington parent who's worked with animals my whole life. I'm a registered and insured member of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS), and I've called Columbus home for over 20 years. I care for pets in Upper Arlington, Grandview Heights, Marble Cliff, Clintonville and Worthington. I have 28 years of personal experience with dogs and cats and time volunteering with local humane societies and shelters. Animal care and advocacy has always been a big part of my life. A large portion of my experience is in senior care, which is one of the most important times in a dog's life in terms of their relationship with us. It is always an honor to work with seniors. I also work in dog socialization, and have significant experience with cats, along with incidental exposure to ferrets and rabbits. Pets who need oral meds or a little extra patience are in good hands with me, and so are the easygoing ones who just want a great walk. When you book with me, the person who answers your first message is the same person who shows up at your door, every time. Cats get the same full attention dogs do too, with a promise of fresh water, a clean litter box if requested, playtime, and a photo with a little blurb about how the visit went. As a registered and insured NAPPS member, I take pet care and building trust with owners very seriously. Every new relationship starts with a no-pressure meet and greet at your home before anything moves forward to determine compatibility and to learn more about your family member. Off duty, I share the job with Steve, a rescue rat terrier from Columbus Humane who's appointed himself Chief Inspiration Officer, Morale Officer, and, most days, The Real Boss. Pet care is my full-time focus during working hours, for neighbors and clients who can't get home in time or who need reliable at-home visits while they travel. Evenings and weekends are available for vacations, travel, or emergencies. If you need an odd time, ask. I can usually make it work within the pricing structure. I'm insured through Pet Care Insurance and a NAPPS member. Before any booking we do a free meet and greet at your home. When I care for pets at your place, I stick to your routine. As a personal policy, I keep dogs leashed on every walk.
About: I have recently experienced the loss of my own pets. Im not quite ready to get any new pets, but as an animal lover and dog enthusiast there is something missing greatly in my heart. I am eager to utilize my free time to care for your pets. If you or someone you know requires pet-sitting services for a weekend or an extended vacation, please do not hesitate to contact me. This is a new endeavor, and I am uncertain about its duration, but I am committed to providing the same level of care that I gave to my own pets, ensuring your peace of mind while you are away. Please message me if you are interested or know someone who is. 🐶🐱 I am good to take on puppies or senior dogs that require additional care or medicine. I do have a full time job, but am able to be remote. I would glad stay at anyone’s home to sit the pets and add them into my daily routine as I did with my own dogs. Let them out, feed them, walk them, play with them, cuddle them, and ensure they know they will be taken care of under my watch. I can easily take on a crate in my home. I do not have a yard, so I would need to walk them on a leash for them to use the bathroom. Apartment dogs will be great to watch in my home, as they would be use to that atmosphere!
“Michelle gave frequent updates and Winnie seems like she had a great time and fit right into the family. She especially enjoyed playing and hanging out with Michelle’s son”
“Amy provided outstanding care for my dog, Kallee, while I was in the hospital and then recovering at a rehabilitation facility. My stay was longer than expected, and Amy was so understanding and accommodating. She treated Kallee as if she were her own dog, giving her so much love and attention. Kallee was happy, well cared for, and I had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Amy even brought Kallee to visit me at the rehabilitation facility, which was such a thoughtful gesture and truly lifted my spirits. I am so grateful for her kindness, compassion, and exceptional care. I will definitely use Amy again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family. Melodie”
“She was quick to respond to every text. My dog was happy when I picked him up. She sent lots of pictures. Would be happy to leave my dog with Michele again!”
About: I’m experienced with training puppies, senior care, and pets with special needs. I treat every pet like my own with patience, love, and lots of belly rubs. I work from home full-time, so my schedule is super flexible plenty of time for walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I would enjoy the company as well! I keep a calm, pet-friendly home with a clean, cozy space where pets can relax and feel safe. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and follow any care routines you provide to keep things familiar and stress-free.

I only dealt with Cara, but I'm sure Chad is equally awesome! For six days, they took care of my dog Nero in a loving environment where he didn't have to tolerate other animals (he's not a big fan of dogs). Cara sent photos of him lounging around and being a good boy. I wholeheartedly recommend Cara (and Chad!), and I plan to board Nero with them again when the time comes.
This is the second time Oph has stayed here and she loves it! When Ophelia saw Atlanta again, she *actually* cried tears of happiness and joy when she ran up to greet her. She couldn’t wait to get in the house! I will continue to use this boarder knowing that my girl has an amazing time here! I could not be happier with their service. I really appreciate how Atlanta picks up on all of Ophs quirks and oddities. It lets me rest easy while on vacation to know that she’s being treated like family and by someone so observant. I cannot say enough good things about this boarder.
I have no complaints. My dog absolutely loved it at his house, its almost like he didn't want to leave😂. I was worried about leaving my dog for a week but they took great care of my baby and kept me in the loop with him all the time.I'll definitely will be re-booking with them in the future
My dog runs up the front steps wagging his tail in anticipation! I receive pics of him enjoying himself. This sitter has been there for my on short notice and has been wonderful when it comes to flexibility! If you want your pet to be in an environment where “pets rule”, this is for you!,

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
