“Cannot rave over JoVonna enough 🤍 so thankful for her bright spirit and love for our doggos! She helped us out in a pinch and is such a wonderful addition to our care team.”


About: I have many years of experience house sitting for clients whose pets required daily care and attention. Spending time with animals for exercise and play time is something that brings me so much joy! I’m always willing to accommodate special requests and aid with training. And if you need someone to be a buddy to your senior pet, giving them the quality time they deserve, I’m your girl. I’m currently an unemployed software developer, taking some much needed time off, so I’m available most days and hours! I’m extremely flexible and understanding to situations of life. I love getting out of the house and taking walks to keep my mind and body going! With my experience of house sitting I am always respectful of my surroundings, doing my best to leave the places better than I found them. Making sure your pet feels comfortable and like nothing has changed when I am caring for them is extremely important to me! I do my best to mimic a clients traditional care strategies so the animals involved experience as little stress as possible!

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 have been surrounded by dogs since I was born. I have been helping out with my own dogs since I was young and have potty trained and taught tricks to them. I have dog sat for about 7 years now and have spent time with dogs of all sizes. I currently live with 5 doggies consisting of big medium and small and have lots of love for this animal! I am currently in school and my classes are spaced out so I have a decent availability to spend time with dogs especially during weekends! I am a very patient person and will always allow dogs to smell me and get comfortable around me before petting them. I will be able to play with them or crate them if needed.

“I appreciate Kiara so much. We scheduled some neighborhood walks after I had surgery and needed a little help walking my buddy. Thank you Kiara!”


About: "What differentiates me from other caregivers is the love and patience with which I treat each pet, as if it were part of my family. I have experience taking care of both kittens and young dogs as well as older pets that require special attention, medication or delicate care. I adapt to your needs and always maintain clear communication with the owners to give them peace of mind. Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. I organize my day to provide them with quality time, making sure they receive attention, games, food and a lot of love. Seeing them happy and calm is my greatest reward, that's why I'm always available and committed to their well-being." *I have a spacious fenced yard and two very friendly dogs that love making new friends! Your pet will have a safe, playful environment and lots of attention. I'm happy to follow your pet's routine and can also crate them if needed. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you peace of mind.

About: I was raised on a farm and have been caring for a multitude of different animals, basically since birth! I have cared for everything from a 2lb chihuahua to a 200lb Great Dane, as well as cats and farm animals. Over the years, I’ve been a repeat dog sitter for many of my friends and family. I love dogs and treat others dogs the way I would treat one of my own. I’ve bred and raised South African Boerboels, Chihuahua and Dachshunds, as well as having German Rott, American Staffordshire Terrier, Pit Bulls, Labradors and German Shepherds. I have experience with a multitude of different breeds from birth to adulthood. I make sure to find out each dogs specifics needs so that I can tailor their care to accordingly. Puppies are my specialty! I am also willing to work with your dog on basic commands and behavioral training, if desired, for a small price increase. I work from home so I have plenty of time to play with, walk, love on and care for your pet. I live in a quiet, residential neighborhood with lots of places to walk and run, as well as being nearby several parks and trails. I have a two bedroom condo. Pets are allowed on all furniture and have full run of the house. I do have crates available as well, if needed. I live extremely close to several large parks, as well!

About: I treat someone else’s animal as if it were mine. I always ask the owner any specific instructions on the animal’s eating habits, potty habits, and sleeping habits. I always strive to be as respectful and responsible as much as possible because I realize the importance of my being there to provide care and comfort to someone’s animal. I work full-time in a hybrid work setup. I work days and have a set work schedule that affords me breaks throughout the day and the ability to end work relatively early. I also do not work on weekends. In a client’s home, I am very cognizant that I am a guest and that, when entering the home, I must be respectful of everyone, particularly of the animal’s space. Animals are, by nature, very territorial and loyal to their owners. They can see a new human coming in as a threat or just as someone that does not belong in that space. So, I have found that the best thing to do is to first convey to the animal that I am not a threat and then try to establish a bond or connection with the animal.

About: With over 5 years of experience in dog sitting, I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My journey started when I began watching my neighbors' pets during vacations, and my passion for providing top-notch care grew from there. I specialize in creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for your furry friends. Whether it's energetic playtime, long walks in the park, or just a cozy nap at home, I tailor each sit to meet the unique needs of your dog. I'm trained in pet safety and first aid, ensuring your pet's well-being is always a top priority. In addition to my hands-on experience, I have a dog of my own, his name is Bellow! He was found as a stray and I adopted him from Gigi’s in Canal Winchester. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be daunting, and I am committed to earning your trust and confidence with regular updates and a transparent communication style. Let me help make your time away worry-free with dependable and affectionate pet care. I look forward to meeting you and your dog and becoming their new best friend! I was previously a contracted employee at a tech company and am currently looking for a full time job so I have plenty of time off at the moment. I offer a welcoming and safe environment in my home. Inside, pets have access to comfortable resting areas and plenty of safe, pet-friendly toys. I follow a structured routine that includes regular feeding times, potty breaks, and exercise, tailored to each pet's needs and your specific instructions.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly love caring for them. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments thanks to my time volunteering/working at animal shelters. I know that dogs need more than just food and potty breaks — they need enrichment, exercise, and genuine connection. Whether it’s a long walk, a game of fetch, or just some quality cuddle time, I tailor my care to your dog’s unique needs. I’m patient, responsible, and treat every pet like family. I am a stay at home fur-parent so I have a completely open schedule and am happy to discuss specific needs you may have! I spend most of my days taking care of animals so don’t worry I will love yours like My own I have several cats and a senior dog so I am accustomed to all different kinds of personalities and needs your fur baby may have !

Near East dog parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn't be happier with Danielle as our dog walker! From the moment we first contacted her, her response time and communication have been excellent. It's such a relief to know we can always reach her and that she keeps us in the loop. Our pitbull, Dottie, absolutely adores Danielle. Dottie can be a strong walker, but Danielle handles her with confidence and care. We especially love the pictures she sends during their walks – it's wonderful to see Dottie enjoying herself and getting great exercise. Danielle truly goes above and beyond, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring dog walker!

Kathleen is incredibly skilled at working with all kinds of dogs. We appreciate her help with not only walking our dogs but also providing helpful training.

Sheridan did a great job! This was our first time using a rover and we sliced the updates she was able to provide and our dog did great and felt so comfortable with her!

Excellent job! They followed the instructions carefully, my dogs were happy and calm when I got home, and everything was handled very professionally.

Paola is such a sweet person and did a wonderful job taking care of my dogs! I am always nervous to leave them when I go out of town, so it was a relief to find someone who I trusted to care for them. She’s very communicative and responsive, and she pays close attention to the pups and their needs. She also sends lots of photos and videos back so I was able to see my pups while I was away. I would highly recommend Paola, and I will definitely be hiring her again.

Our dogs love Emily. She is always on time and a great communicator. We know they are in good hands when she comes to walk them.

Laura is so wonderful! She has walked our high energy dog a few times and always sends plenty of updates and photos 💗

Ellie was fabulous! Very appreciative for her helping me at the last minute. I can tell my dogs were very happy in her care

Emily was great! This was her 2nd time walking Riley, and it went much smoother. Riley has really taken to her. Emily was prompt, courteous and made Riley smile!
