House Sitting Holland

“My wife and I were in Columbus recently from out of town for our daughter's wedding. We're so happy we found Morgan for our two pups! Morgan stayed with them for two evenings in our Airbnb. Morgan calmed them with her gentle, caring manner and provided us with pics each time. Her communication was excellent and she helped to eliminate any worries we had about leaving our dogs alone. When we need help with the dogs in the future, we won't hesitate to give Morgan a call!”

About: I don’t just love animals; caring for them is something I have years of hands-on experience doing. I have worked professionally in dog daycare and have also provided private pet sitting for families since 2022. My experience has taught me how to read canine body language, recognize changes in behavior, safely manage different personalities, and help dogs who may be shy, anxious, nervous, or simply VERY excited to make a new friend! I believe every pet deserves care based on who they are. Some dogs want to play and stay busy, while others would rather curl up beside you and feel safe. I take the time to learn your pet’s normal routine, personality, likes, dislikes, feeding schedule, and the little things that make them comfortable. I want you to leave knowing your pet is safe, happy, loved, and being cared for like one of my own. 🐾❤️ Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have the experience from working in a structured dog daycare and also provide private pet-sitting services, so I’m accustomed to planning my schedule around the needs of the animals in my care. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care, and I’ll always make sure we discuss your pet’s normal routine so I can keep things as consistent as possible while you’re away. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. My professional dog daycare and pet-sitting experience has taught me to pay close attention to body language, behavior changes, and each pet’s individual comfort level. I follow feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions carefully and never assume that every pet has the same needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, my goal is to provide a clean, calm, secure environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for.

About: From a very young age, caring for animals has been a natural part of my life. When I was eight years old, I started small home-placement program for pets abandoned along rural roads, making sure they found safe, loving homes. With the help of a local veterinarian, I also cared for injured wildlife-nursing animals hit by cars to health and raising many of their orphaned babies. Growing up on a farm gave me hands on experience with a wide range of species and taught me how to read body language, build trust and stay calm in any situation. Many of the local farmers trusted me to take care of their livestock and four-legged family members while they went on vacation. Over the years I have continued my skills through veterinary medicine studies, reiki, pet massage therapy and a deep interest in natural, holistic care. These experiences shaped me into a patient, intuitive, and knowledgeable caregiver who understands animals on a deeper level and treats every pet with respect, gentleness and consistency. II currently work part‑time on weekdays and am free every day after 1 p.m., as well as fully available on weekends. I’m happy to walk, play with, and feed your pets, and I’m comfortable working outdoors in all types of weather as long as your pet is, too. I don’t mind helping with cleanup—whether that’s backyard potty messes, litter boxes, or small‑animal cages—so your pet’s space stays fresh and comfortable while you’re away. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping everything as familiar and consistent as possible. I follow your pet’s normal routine closely—mealtimes, walks, playtime, medications, and comfort habits—so their day feels predictable and stress‑free. I take time to learn their cues, respect their boundaries, and match their energy, whether they need quiet companionship or active engagement. I keep your home environment clean and safe by refreshing water, tidying feeding areas, cleaning litter boxes or small‑animal cages, and wiping up any potty messes in the yard. I also make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure and that your pet has everything they need before I leave. My goal is to maintain the same level of care, calm, and attention they’re used to when you’re home.

“Kendall did an excellent job watching our pets (two dogs and a cat) for a week. She would go outside with our dogs multiple times a day, and kept everyone fed and entertained, which is no small task with our high maintenance, routine oriented cat. We came back to three happy, healthy pets thanks to Kendall. Would definitely book with Kendall again.”

“Marie did a wonderful job taking care of Brownie. She was here for a week and made sure he’s been fed properly, played with him, took him for walks, etc. Brownie looked happy staying with her. She went above and beyond & made sure wverything in the house was clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Marie and for sure for our next trip she’ll be our first priority!”

“Well, let’s put it this way: Cosworth, our 6yo English Setter with severe food allergies, walked around the house looking for Krystal for two days after she left. So, yeah, I think he liked her! Krystal is a high energy, extremely conscientious, responsible and personality-plus individual who treats your home and pet as if they were her own. After 7 days away on vacation, we came home to a clean house (not our usual sitter experience), an emotionally and gastrointestinally happy and healthy dog who now barks in Italian thanks to her online lessons, and even freshly baked cookies in the fridge. What more could dog parents ask for? Highly recommended!”

I give unlimited belly rubs and kisses to make them comfortable I have plenty of space to make your dog comfortable and happy with love and lots of rubs and kisses. The dogs have access to lay on the bed and furniture

“Sadie was amazing dog sitter for my super anxious dog, Murphy. I was concerned about leaving her for the night. Sadie did an incredible job taking care of Murphy, sending me frequent updates and pictures. She made my evening/night go smoothly at ease. I would definitely recommend Sadie for dog sitting. She is incredible, reliable and very caring. I will hire her again whenever I need one in the future. Big kudos to Sadie!!!”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’m very familiar with the daily responsibilities that come with keeping pets happy and healthy with my own animals at home. In addition to caring for my pets, I’ve house sat for families for weeks at a time and have experience watching multiple large dogs as well as small dogs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication reminders, or simply giving your pets plenty of attention, I always treat them like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine since I have two dogs, two cats, a gerbil, and fish of my own. I work part time at ProMedica Hospital, and my flexible schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. Whether it’s daily visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight house sitting, I’m able to provide dependable, attentive care and make sure your pets stick to their normal routine while you’re away. I don’t have any other commitments outside of my part-time job. I always care for pets based on their individual needs and stick as closely as possible to their normal routine. In my clients’ homes, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, receive lots of attention, and are kept in a clean, safe environment. I’m happy to go on walks, clean litter boxes, take dogs outside for potty breaks, and give updates so owners know their pets are doing well. When caring for pets, I treat them like they’re my own by being patient, attentive, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their family is away.

“Vivien was wonderful! She came over to meet with us before we went out of town and asked questions and took notes. Communication was great! She updated us every day and would send pictures for us to see. This is the first time we have used a pet sitter, and we are so glad we found Vivien to stay overnight with our senior dog; he was very well taken care of. Thank you so much!”

About: Animal lover household! I have taken care of many dogs in the past. I have a 2 year old Golden Retriever that would love to have some friends around! We have a house with a gated yard. I am currently working from home which gives me the capability of giving your pets the full attention they deserve. Your pet/pets will be my top priority from playtime to bedtime! I have a fenced in yard and a gentle golden retriever who gets along great with other dogs and is willing to tire herself out playing with your pup! We allow pets to roam the home and lay on the furniture and if the owner prefers, we have crates and gates as well if the owner thinks accommodations are necessary. Your dog will be fully safe and supervised for their stay; as well as provided with lots of cuddles! I fully understand the feeling of leaving your pup with someone new, but I am consistently updating with pictures, videos and updates of the stay/visit!

“Katy is an absolute gift to the Rover community. Leaving our dog and cat with a non-family member for the first time was nerve-wracking, but Katy immediately put all our anxieties to rest. From the moment she walked in for the meet-and-greet, our pets adored her. Even my normally shy cat—who usually hides from visitors—came right out to greet her. Honestly, it felt like our pets had known her in a past life; that’s how comfortable they were! ​Katy is reliable, punctual, and goes above and beyond. She asked all the right questions, sent some of the best photos of our pets we’ve ever seen, and even came early and stayed late to make sure our dogs got extra potty breaks. Her detailed updates and genuine kindness made being away so much easier. I almost hesitate to leave this glowing review because I know everyone will want to book her, but she truly deserves it. If you book with Katy, you won’t regret it!”

“Angeline was amazing! From taking notes during our pre-departure meeting to all the updates and photos while we were gone, Angeline was amazing to work with. Angeline had great communication and was super easy to work with. We will definitely keep Angeline in mind for the future.”

About: I’ve always had at least one dog, I love dogs and would enjoy spending time with your pet. Your pet would join the family while they are here! I’m retired, so have all the time in the world to spend with your family pet! Live near a walking trail, so walks are easy! I have a fully fenced yard and one dog of my own to play with yours. Definitely open to adjusting to whatever routine works best for your pet, feeding times..etc

About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was a kid. I have tended to a total of six beloved family dogs from around age 7 to 19 when I moved. Some of my regular care for them included providing fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, going outside, playing, and brushing their coats. I have also administered some medication such as vet prescribed pills, sprays, or ear drops when needed. I helped to train them on basic commands and leash training. I am used to recognizing dog body language, following care instructions tailored to each pet, and sticking to a schedule. Since I am currently in-between jobs, my schedule is very flexible. I am most often available to provide pet care anytime on any day! I can also work for extended periods of time. Typically, my care for pets includes providing fresh food and water, playing, pets, and regular potty breaks. However, different pets have different needs and I am able to provide the care that suits your unique pet!

About: Hi! I'm currently a college student who's looking to have a decent side job while also dealing with missing her animals back home! I have eleven cats and four dogs back home, as well as three guinea pigs, a hermit crab and some exotic animals as well. My parents are the primary owners, but I am often the caretaker of all of our pets, especially when my parents are out of town! I have experience with senior dogs, young dogs, small, big, and medium sized dogs and dogs of varying temperament. I am used to the varying temperament of cats, too! Since we have exotic animals, I'm also used to a handful of different routines and dealing with different feeding preferences and rules. I have experience with watching some pets of my family members as well, so it's not just limited to my immediate family! I'm currently a student full time at BGSU, but my classes generally get done around 12:20PM on Mon/Wed/Fri, around 2:30PM on Tuesdays, and around 10:30AM on Thursdays! I'm more than willing to stop by after my classes to check up on your pets, and I'm generally up around 6:30AM so there's no issue in morning routines. In my home, things are ran a bit different since we have so many different animals. My main focus at home is usually keeping the dogs out for periods of time, watching them and playing with them if they're willing to play along! Whatever your usual routine is at home is what I'll be willing to adjust to, since the comfort of your pet is my priority!
