About: I have been taking care of animals since I was boy at only 10 years old. I grew up with dogs and cats since I can remember. I currently have one dog and one cat I take care of on the daily. With walks, medicine, food, and all the love I can give. At the beginning of 2018 I was in school to become a veterinarian technician. Unfortunately, the school I was at, Vatterott College, shut down at the end of the year. I was close to graduating, but after the shutdown I had another opportunity come my way so I parted ways with it. In my personal experience I have taken care of; new born puppies, sick dogs, old dogs, hyper dogs, calm dogs. Most things you can think of my dogs have been I have a little bit of personal training experience. I taught myself how to train dogs to walk on a leash. It's an ongoing process, but the dogs I have trained have never been better! Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine. I work a full-time remote job, so my house is always a safe place for your pup! I start slow with pets. Never rush into anything. Earn the pets trust over time with training, treats, and love! I take any advice from the parent to heart, because no one knows someone's pets like their parents!
About: Hi! My name is Grant and I currently work fully remote at home in Bexley, OH. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have lived with two cats, so I am very accustomed to taking care of animals. Due to my ability to work remote, I have become my friends’ traveling pet sitter. I’ve cared for 4 french bulldogs, 2 bernedoodles, 3 cats, and 2 australian shepherds, all for 2 weeks or more at a time. I love meeting new animals and spending all day with them, so I figured I would join Rover to expand my network! I’m a super active person, so I love to get pets’ energy worked out whether it’s through walking, playing, or just chasing them around the house. I can also be a lounge lizard and provide endless pets for your furry friends. Let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to meeting your animals! While I do work full-time, and that comes first, I am extremely organized and a big planner, so fitting in pet care is pretty easy for me. I love being outside, so taking a break from work to watch your animals is a favorite of mine! This will depend on what you have available! But I will do my best to show your pet the upmost care and respect. Whatever you need, I can provide it!
“Our pups were well taken care of while they were with Ellen! We were able to see fun updates and pics throughout the day. We’ll definitely be booking her again.:)”

“Katie was extremely professional and we knew our fur baby was in good hands. We only needed day care for a quick trip in town but she's the first person we'll call if we have needs in Columbus again. Highly recommend!”

“Sydney was a huge lifesaver when I needed someone to watch my dog while in town for a few days. She was awesome with my dog Atlas, who’s usually pretty skeptical of new people, and he loved playing with her dog Honey”
“Kimberlee was fantastic! She was able to accommodate to a last-minute request and sent a ton of photos/videos of Diesel having fun. He had a rough day at the groomer beforehand and being at Kimberlee’s apartment put us both at ease.”

“Michele is a very kind, animal loving, and extremely knowledgeable on pet care. With two days of day care in her home, my rescue puppy now is much more confident than she was before meeting Michele. She got plenty of exercise and attention!”

“Megan did such an amazing job! I appreciated all of her communication and photos so much. Her assessment she gives in the beginning shows how knowledgeable she is and how much she cares. We will be back!”

“Matthew was great to work with. Very thoughtful and took pictures to keep me up to date. Hazel had a great time too which is my main goal when I need someone to watch her. Thank you for taking such good care of Hazel.”

“Simon was great! My baby had so much fun with him. He replied super quickly and agreed to take care of her on short notice. He also sent pictures, which was a huge relief for me and gave me peace of mind knowing she was happy. When I went to pick her up, she didn’t even want to leave!

Near Southside dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kaleigh and Connor were lifesavers! I travel with my pup Rocky for work and it’s always a little nerve wracking to agree to a new situation. I felt totally comfortable leaving Rocky…. and completely convinced the next day when she (uncharacteristically!) bounced into their home and up on the couch with Connor. 🥹 Their pups are sweet little ladies and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again! Thank you! 🥰
Hallie is an amazing sitter! She brought me so much peace of mind from the second I met her! This was my first time leaving my puppy with a sitter and I will definitely be using Hallie again. Her home is clean and set up perfectly for dog care. Thank you Hallie! Love, Stephanie & Luna 🐶🐾💕

Was super nervous to use this service but Kathleen assured me all would be well and kept my mind at ease anytime I asked for some assurance that my pet was doing okay. Super friendly and my puppy took to her immediately (something I had not seen before honestly). Tagged on a bath and nail trim to the stay and my pet was smelling super fresh all the way home. 10/10 would recommend.
