Miriam did a fantastic job taking care of goose and Delta. She was reliable, on time, and fantastic with communication. Set my mind at ease while I was away! I would happily refer her to anyone who needs a dog or pet sitter and will definitely be using her again!

Paige is AMAZING! She went above and beyond to make sure our new kittens were taken care of, brought in packages, managed the contractor at our house over the weekend and made sure all their toys were charged and ready to go! I would highly recommend!!!

Cody was amazing! It was his first time w our two dogs. One is a senior Pom mix on insulin and one is a puppy, Bernese Mountain dog. He came over twice before he was actually here staying at our house, for 1 week. Our dogs immediately loved him. We taught him how to give the shots to our senior dog and he did great! He kept in constant communication w texts and pics. We will get him again and continue to utilize him, as he was awesome!

Meghan was a terrific dog sister. Our little 8 pound Maltese looked like he loved every minute of his time with her. She took him on long walks, play time and sent us pics everyday. We could tell by the look on his face how happy he was with her. couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter.

Emma watched Sadie while we were away for a day. She was communicative when needed, did everything we asked of her, and even stayed a little while extra to comfort Sadie when Sadie was afraid of fireworks going off outside. Sadie was cared for and in good spirits when we returned. We would happily book Emma again!

Emily is extremely kind and communicative! She sent me photos daily of my pups, she followed my instructions to a T, she kept my house extremely clean, and I would recommend her to anyone! My dogs were so happy when we came home and that tells me everything I need to know about her. She’s the best!

Zach was such a blessing to us. He was so understanding and flexible with our needs and our old doggies and kitties love him. He was attentive and thorough with all our millions of instructions for taking care of our geriatric Great Danes with many health issues. He also took care of some things last minute for us that I had forgotten to do. It was such a relief to find someone we could trust to stay with our boys. Thank you Zach ❤️

I can't say enough good things. We were a little stressed about leaving Guapo (our anxious and sometimes reactive pittie mix) with someone new on short notice over the holiday weekend, but Bishop was willing to come do a meet and greet prior to staying over and was absolutely great. Guapo took to him easily and was so well cared for - I also appreciated the quick check ins and pics to reassure us he was doing okay. This was such a relief and we will definitely reach out for future bookings!

About: Hi! I’m Tracy — a lifelong animal lover with a Masters and PhD in environmental policy from The Ohio State University. My background reflects how deeply I care about the well-being of all creatures, great and small. Caring for pets isn’t a side gig for me; it’s something that’s been part of my life since childhood. I grew up with three wonderful dogs of various sizes, and as an adult I’ve had a large dog of my own, two small dogs, and a cat. One of my pups was adopted from a shelter, two came to me from foster parents, and my cat was a stray who chose our home — so I’m very comfortable with pets who have unique personalities, histories, or special needs. I’m gentle, patient, and very responsible. Whether your pet needs a long walk, calm companionship, or lots of playtime, I tailor my care to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. You can expect great communication, attention to detail, and a genuine love for your furry family member. I would be honored to earn your trust and care for your pets like they’re my own. 💛🐶🐾 I'm currently a home-maker, so I have a very flexible schedule to take care of your pet's needs. I have openings 7 days a week, mornings, afternoons and evenings. I prefer to come to your home to tend to your pet. I do have a fenced in yard for my dogs, but my terrier mix can be a little bossy. I'm always open to having your pet meet my terrier though if you'd like your fur baby to stay for a visit at our house.

About: All of my dog care experience has been stay at home dog sitting and volunteer work at a dog shelter. Because I work at a dog shelter, I know many of the basic techniques and rules of dog care such as grooming, clean up, body language of dogs, and taking care of dogs that may have been abused or experienced trauma in the past. I have a 2 year old french bull dog that I love. Mr. Bean brings excitement, adventure, and love to my everyday life. I am especially good at taking care of senior pets as they are my favorite to support in petsitting capacities. I am a graduate student that spends a lot of time reading, writing, and hanging out at home. Because of this, I am very flexible and can fit pet care in ways someone with a 9-5 could not. I am available in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings during the week and frequently on the weekend. I care for other's pets the way I care for my own - with patience and love. As a graduate student and researcher, I am quick to problem solve and critically think about creative solutions in different scenarios.

We plan on using Kelly for the future!

Melanie is amazing!! My girls loved her. My little feisty one even seemed to love her as much as she loves me! She spent plenty of quality time with my girls. They walked, played and had plenty of cuddle time. I received daily updates and pictures which made me feel so much more comfortable with trusting someone new. She’s the best and I can’t wait to book with her again.

Sheridan is a great sitter. And Gracie loves her too. Sheridan has stayed multiple times to take care of her and this time Gracie accidentally stepped on a bee. Sheridan was able to get the stinger out of her foot and call me to talk through getting her Benadryl. She made sure she was okay before she left and even followed up the next day to make sure she was okay. So thoughtful and caring!

First time Rover user and I couldn’t be happier. Paige and Cindy tag teamed watching my dog while I worked out of town for a few nights. I received updates & photos regularly (which I loved) and they truly treated my girl like she was their own. I will 100% be requesting their services again. They stayed at my home and left it tidy and even left dog tv on for my girl until I arrived home. 100 stars. Thank you ladies!!

Bella was amazing for housesitting during my two week trip! This was my first time leaving my dog alone and she made me feel so comfortable. She provided me with daily updates and photos on how he was doing! Was very attentive and nurturing with him! And made sure she asked a lot of questions beforehand so I felt comfortable she was very prepared for things I hadn’t even considered when leaving him. She is amazing with dogs. Cannot recommend her enough!!!
