“Rachel was amazing with our old pup! She let us know how he did during the day, when he ate, and anything to follow up on when we returned. She was thoughtful and adapted to his quirks. Our house was well taken care of and we felt all was safe and sound while gone. She is truly caring and understanding with senior dogs.”


“Samantha was an excellent choice! She really bonded with our 11 year old frenchie. We appreciated her great communication and the great care she took of our pup and our home during her stay. We’ll definitely be using her again.”


“Caitlin was a great sitter for our old timer who required extra attention. She is a very good communicator and did very well with our dog. I will definitely be reaching back out to her!”


“Marissa took great care of our three babies (🐶🐶🐶) and our home while we were away. Our place looked great when we got back, and our girls were well cared for. Marissa also communicated with us and let us know when she arrived, left, etc. We had an all around great experience and hope to work with Marissa again!”


“Brittany was well loved by our pups and Brittany loved our pups while we were gone. We were especially grateful when our dogs injury re-emerged while we were gone she picked up medicine and administered it until we returned home.”


“Smokey and Bandit were well cared for by Allie. They can be picky with their sitter but felt comfortable enough with Allie and were snuggling with her the first night! Allie sent pics daily and kept me up to date while I was away.”


“Kaitlyn was excellent. Took good care of Gino. It was his first time where mom had left for more than just a few then just a few hours. Took care of his meds. Spent time on the couch cuddling and sent me a few pictures. I would use Kaitlyn again for sure”


“Our 1 year old dog had a lot of fun with Willow, Maggie’s dog, while we were away. We received pictures everyday and she kept us updated on the little things. She’ll definitely be sitting for us again!”


“Janel is especially good at communication and gauging her arrivals/departures with us. Of course she’s great with the dogs and all that. I love working with her, and I’d recommend her to anyone.”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes - I grew up with Labs and took on dog sitting when I was 18. Now 22, I have 2 dogs of my own and care for them like they’re my children. I have experience with dogs from Labs to Corgis to Huskys - I also have experience in training my own dogs with a local program, so I am well versed in being a responsible care taker. I work from home! A lot of what I do on a daily basis can be done through my phone and my schedule is very flexible. In our home, we love to keep our dogs active and socialize them. We take them on short trips to Hocking Hills, play in the backyard and go on walks to the local park. In a client’s home, I am always considering the dog’s typical routine to keep them happy while their owners are away.

“Best dog sitter we’ve ever had! (And we’ve had quite a few). Katie is not only wonderful with our very high maintenance German shepherd, but she also left our home immaculate! Could not recommend her more!”


About: I've owned & been around cats & dogs all of my life. I am very patient & loving. They'll love me!!! I can't get enough of them! I work a small set schedule. I am available almost all day, every day. I work from my car a lot also, so I'm quite mobile. Animals RULE my house. I currently have 3 black cats. They are beyond spoiled every minute of every day! I am totally obsessed & in love!!!


About: My background includes working in veterinary medicine as well as pet sitting for most of my life. I did have a hiatus from Rover due to increased work demands but now I'm currently "retired" as a SAHM. I am comfortable caring for animals with special needs or medications, young or old. Since I'm currently a SAHM, my daily schedule simply consists of school drop-off/pick-up for my kids and an occasional grocery trip so I am very available for the pups I'm caring for. In our home, pets are allowed on furniture and get plenty of loving throughout the day from my kids. We do have a fully fenced backyard. For any care at your home, it's entirely up to you. Free run in the backyard, leashed walk around the neighborhood, crate, no crate. Just let me know! If booked for house sitting - I do *not* stay the night but will drop in 3 times throughout the day (morning, afternoon, evening).

“Katarinna provided us with excellent service. She is very conscientious keeping us fully informed during her stay with our dog. She was most attentive to our dog’s needs as he is a high energy dog and requires a significant amount of interaction.”


About: I have dogsat for many friends and families over the years and have my own little guy at home! I love animals and love to be able to spoil them any chance i get! I am a full time student but have a lot of flexibility, I have my own puppy at home I am currently training as well and a full grown puppy as well! I have spent many years around dogs in my day to day routine. I find that keeping animals on set schedules helps with their anxiety and keeps them comfortable and confident! I love to gives dogs a happy and healthy life and I think playtime and fun should always be included into every routine!

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats. As an adult, I have three cats and one dog. I have house-sat for a few families over the years and have really enjoyed it! I am a stay-at-home mom. I volunteer throughout the week and have planned activities for my children, but my schedule is quite flexible. I am happy to work with you and your pet’s needs! For dogs who are boarded at my house, I will provide at least one walk per day (distance will vary on dog’s ability, but I usually take mine on a 3-mile walk). I will have play time and will accommodate any feeding schedule necessary. For dogs being cared for in YOUR home, I will happily work with you on his/her needs and schedule. :) Same for cats and other pets!

“Abigale was great! She stayed at our house for over 10 days to watch our English Mastiff, Meera, and our short-haired cat, Starlord. Abigale took great care of our animals, giving us picture updates regularly. We will definitely be using her again. A helpful tip for anyone interested in the 'House Sitting' service: On top of the Rover fee, we offered to provide a fully stocked fridge and pantry with items of her request. We also tipped her for the care she provided. These are not required, however, it does seem like something that should at least be offered to the sitter.”


About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 7. Coming from somewhat of a farm life. I have always had a dog. Used to work with dogs that just came into a shelter that is no longer there I love to work with dogs, walk and dog sit. No dog is to small or to big. Love comes in all Sizes! I am available during the week and on weekends. Will work around your schedule if need be. Will come to you so they feel secure in their own home I have a fenced in yard. 3 Friendly dogs I prefer to do at your home so dogs are in their comfort zone and do not get stressed out

About: I an 3 year veterinary nurse with 2 years experienced in pet sitting . I will treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that animals need more than just food and walks—they need love, attention, and a calm, reassuring presence while you’re away. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, I tailor my care to fit each pet’s personality and routine. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or medication needs, I’m reliable, attentive, and always on schedule. I also provide regular updates, so you stay connected with your furry friend. Safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. You can count on me to ensure your pet feels at home—even when you’re not. Trust, compassion, and care define my service. Let me give you peace of mind, and give your pet the love they deserve. I am currently a part time veterinary nurse so. I tend to be able to schedule myself very well to make sure I prioritize every pet I’m sitting and make sure they always come first. I’m deeply committed to the well-being of my clients animals. I pay close attention to their physical and emotional needs, ensuring they’re fed a proper diet, have clean water, and live in a safe, comfortable environment. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat who are literally my children. I currently don’t have a fenced in yard due to no need for one because my pets are really well and staying on my property. So when it comes to pet sitting in my home , depending on how trained the animals are I am some times able to have them roam free with my pets along with supervision or I tend to leash walk if that’s way doesn’t work out . I prioritize myself on keeping my pets safe and other people’s pets safe as well.

“Amber was great with our pups! She was able to meet them before she came to stay and to learn their routines. Amber kept me updated on how everything was going and even sent pictures! I have already booked Amber for more stays! Thank you so much!”

From the moment she met them, I could tell she genuinely cared—belly rubs, playtime, snuggles, and all! She kept me updated with photos and little notes that made me smile and completely put my mind at ease. Coming home to two happy, calm dogs was all the proof I needed. Kaitlin is trustworthy, loving, and clearly has a natural gift with animals. Highly recommend her to anyone who wants their pets loved like family!”
