Trusted Care from a Vet Student

Hello! I’m a veterinary student at OSU who’s been caring for animals my whole life. I’ve spent years caring for my own pets and sitting for neighbors, family and friends. In addition to my own pets, I shadowed at a veterinary clinic for a year and a half, worked at a doggy day care and completed an internship at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. These experiences have given me the confidence and skills to care for animals with a variety of needs. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away!

Ally was absolutely incredible!! She watched our pup for us for what was supposed to be 8 days and turned into 10 days because of horrible flight cancellations and delays. She was so easy going and communicative with us the whole time and we felt so reassured knowing that our pup was taken care of. We will absolutely be booking with Ally anytime we need a dog sitter in the future!!

I’m a full-time vet student so my weekly availability is typically after 4pm, and I’m available most weekends. My class schedule is fairly consistent, and I’m happy to work with you to find time that’s fit your pets needs. Feel free to reach out with your dates!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a pet-friendly apartment and I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and provide regular walks, playtime and attention. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

A typical day

For dogs who enjoy it, I’d be happy to go on a run together or take a longer walk to get lots of exercise. I also love playing fetch, practicing commands, and using enrichment toys for mental stimulation. But I am also always happy to give lots of cuddle time and attention to those who prefer a more relaxed day.

Tell me anything that will help me make your pet feel comfortable during their stay. I’d love to know their personality, routine, favorite activities, things they’re usually nervous about, and any medical or dietary needs. This helps me give them the best care possible while you’re away.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
