“Abbey did a great job with my two dogs when I went on an overnight trip. She had great communication and sent me some cute pictures of them. I don’t often leave them with someone they don’t know, but Abbey was splendid and I would definitely book her again!”


“Fabulous experience! Jessica was absolutely great. This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous, but Jessica was great with my dogs. I was in a pinch and she took this job last minute. I will definitely be requesting her for future dog care.”


“I just hired Zoe for the first time and she did an awesome job. I have a large Bernese Mountain dog and three cats, a handful. Zoe kept everyone happy while I was on my work trip. My dog used to be pretty stressed when I would return from trips, but with Zoe she was calm and happy when I got back. I appreciate Zoe for providing so much more than food and basic care for my babies, and highly recommend her.”


“Kelly was the perfect choice for housesitting my pets. She had her hands full and graciously attended to each pet and their certain needs. My oldest pup had a little separation depression and wasn’t eating a lot so she made her some chicken and hand fed her some nuggets and gave her extra assurance to make her feel okay! I would highly recommend this sitter! She took great care of my pets and my house!”


“Bralynn was amazing with our fur family. She treated them like family and they responded well to her. She stayed with them for the weekend and it was so nice knowing someone was with them. She was so great to us with our chaotic weekend changes also. Very flexible and helpful. The house looked the same as when we left. Thank you so much! Highly recommend and will definitely use again.”


About: I have the freedom to go anywhere needed with the ability to drive. I can also take care of the pets special needs such as giving medicine. I enjoy walking and playing. My little dog has a big dog attitude, so when she gets aggressive I know how to handle her, and keep a safe distance not letting anyone get hurt. I can take care of pets anytime of the week when needed, though I do have an online college class Monday through Thursday that's from 1-3:50pm. I can take it anywhere since I have a laptop and tablet to work with. I will have that schedule until June 26th. I have a fenced in backyard, and a small dog that goes through the doggy door. I am always available to open the door to let your pet out at anytime. I walk my dog around the neighborhood 3 or more times around the week at least.

“Having Evelyn watch our dog was a great decision and one we’ll repeat in the future for sure. We were feeling guilty about leaving our nervous dude for almost two weeks but Evelyn put our minds at eases. She came over beforehand, met Otto and took lots of notes. Evelyn took care of our house (even keeping garden veggies alive in summer) and our dog and you should too. Great communication too! Thanks Evelyn!”


“Ella was amazing. She took my booking last minute and responded quickly. Ella showed up on time and seemed eager to meet our boys. You can tell Ella genuinely loves animals. Ella made us feel comfortable leaving the boys behind in her care. We came home to happy kids and the house just the way we left it. Ella kept in contact during her stay and sent us pictures and updates often. I would definitely book Ella again! Highly recommended!”


“Kari and Clint were very very thoughtful house sitters with my pups. They were well cared for and Kari sent me daily pictures and updates. It was an almost 3 week stay with some freezing weather days. I have one young mischievous dog. He made a get-away, but Kari took care to coax him back. My other pet is an old dog with walking disability. She always patiently always helps him up when he stumbled. The house also was well cared for. She thoughtfully left milk, bread, and sandwiches for our return. She also looked after our flock of hens! I appreciate her very much.”


“Grace took wonderful care of our sweet boy while we were gone. She sent us updates and pictures the whole time and Murphy loved having her around. We will be booking with her again in the future!”


“Thank you for taking such good care of our furr babies!! Thank you for being so trust worthy and communicative. I knew they were in good hands and was able to relax while out of town. Also, thank you for taking care of the house. Will book again!”


About: I truly treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I have experience caring for both energetic puppies and gentle senior pets, and I’m always patient, calm, and attentive to their needs. Whether it’s playtime, a walk, or just some extra cuddles, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I also pay close attention to routines and special instructions, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands! I’ll be teaching during the day, but before and after school, pet care is my top priority. I always make time for morning and evening visits, walks, feedings, and cuddles. My schedule is consistent, and I’m committed to making sure your pets feel loved and cared for, even while you’re away. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow your routines closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or medications—and always give lots of love and attention. I keep your home tidy and your pet happy, treating both with the utmost respect and care.

“Excellent in all ways and so happy Charlie received so much love and attention. I really appreciated everything nice and tidy as well! What a nice welcome home after our long trip!! #1 sitter in my book!!”


“Taylor is the most amazing person I had my dog with , Heather is a very shy dog took her a month to make up to family Taylor did it and I watched from afar as she gained her love and I do mean her love . She’s always welcome into my home and in our Hearts John and Heather”


About: I am capable and comfortable taking care of dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments! I’ve helped leash, house, and crate train a few dogs as well! I currently work part time and would love to fill my extra time with animals, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets with almost any needs! Though I’m not able to board your pet at my house I promise to provide quality care at your home and keep them safe and happy

“We love Alexis! She took such good care of our 7 year old dog. We rescued him and he has always been a little anxious. He immediately felt at ease with her! She took him on lots of walks and he got lots of pets and cuddles(his favorite). She stayed in our home and kept everything nice and tidy! We hope she is available to watch him again in the future!”


“Bella was GREAT with our pup! He can be a bit of a handful from time to time and she managed his weirdness extremely well. She left our home nice and tidy as well. Will definitely be asking her to watch George again!”


About: I’ve always loved dogs. I’m not ever afraid to approach a dog, I’ve been dogsitting for friends & close family friends since I graduated high school & got a license. I’m off during the summer so I can do pretty much any time of the day :-) Any weekday would be preferred. I am flexible. I will follow any directions given for the dogs I’m watching. I have a beagle who is my best friend and I would treat any dog I’m sitting with the same care.

New Columbus pet parents share their Rover experiences
April was refreshingly sweet in person, and I could truly see her love of cats shining through when we did the meet and greet. She stayed the night in our home for two nights while we were away, and took excellent care of our four kitties and our home. She was prompt when she arrived, and we had absolutely no complications or concerns. We rested comfortably while we were away knowing that our cats were in trustworthy hands. I definitely will use her again, and recommend that you use her for pet sitting as well.
