“Savannah is AWESOME!! She provides excellent care, when letting my two Furbabies out for a break!! Additionally, she always provides pictures and timely feedback!! I plan to keep Savannah as our Furbaby Sitter!!”


“Samantha did a great job checking in on our cat, Louie. On a previous vacation, he came to a cat with a UTI because the person we hired (not through Rover.com) did not clean his box properly. Samantha kept us up to date on how Louie was doing and kept his boxes clean. We came home from vacation to a happy and healthy cat. I will definitely use Samantha again!”



About: Hello, my name is Jarret Beck. I have been around dogs my entire life. I love meeting new dog because each one is different and getting to know them is exciting. I will treat your dog as if it were my own and keep it safe as if it were my own because I know how important your dog is to you and your family. I will keep your dog safe and happy! I work alternate working mornings and afternoons every day. Typically there is always someone at our home because my partner works from home. We always make time to care for our own pets. We use electric collars for our dogs. When let outside, we always use them. Our puppy is tethered though when going out for potty. We would always leash your pet when going out for potty since we do not have a fenced in yard. We love walking our dogs round the neighborhood regularly. When our dogs need to run, we drive them to the dog park at Infirmary Mound Park.

About: My family always owned pets and I'm the only person that my old roommate trusts to dogsit for them. I love the company of pets. I work fully remote from anywhere with cellular coverage or WiFi and only have rare times when I absolutely have to be in meetings so I have a lot of flexibility to make time for other things. If it's okay with you, I would like to let your pet free to roam around your house just as if you were home. I love petting them and having chats while I'm working. I always set reminders for the meal times and potty breaks you request to make sure they are pampered as much as you want. No sharing of human food, only their approved diest and treats.

“Kyndal was very kind and actually met both my babies which normally they would hide. The only thing she didn’t do was clean out their food bowls from previous feed. Otherwise, I was very comfortable in knowing my kitties were taken care of.”


“Sierra did a fantastic job caring for our big fur-baby, and we loved the photos throughout her visits. She went above and beyond with communicating with us, and we will definitely be requesting her services again.”


“We started using rover because we got our new dachshund puppy a few weeks ago. We wanted someone to help us keep up with his training when we both worked. Jade has been such a big help with Murphy’s training! She’s gone above and beyond what we expected of her and we are excited to keep having her help us! She’s great!”


“Jordan did a great job following our (many) instructions and bonding with our dogs. She was great about checking in with us when questions came up and sending lots of photos. We definitely felt better about leaving our dogs knowing she was taking care of them. We highly recommend her!”


About: I have owned dogs and cats all of my life. They are the center of our home. We walk them daily and they are allowed on furniture. Hi. My name is Donna and I live in Columbus. I spend a lot of time with my own pups and cats. I will love on your dog as if it were my own. I currently work from home and can provide daily walks or check-ins. I will greet your pet with lots of love. I can fill their food and water bowls when necessary before I leave.

“Alexis took wonderful care of my kitty. She’s shy with new people, and I can’t believe how well she took to Alexis. I would definitely recommend her services, and look forward to booking her next time I need a sitter.”


About: Hi! My name is Aliyah Moore and I attend Otterbein University to major is business administration and management. I will take the best care of your pups and will send you pictures through the day to take as much stress off of you as possible! I have a Cavapoo at home who I have trained all on my own and love her with all my heart. I would love for you to book me to care for your furry friends! I am a freshman at Otterbein University majoring in Business and playing basketball. My goal is to get as much work experience as possible while caring for you’re pets! I currently have one dog at home. She is a 6 year old Cavapoo who I have trained and cared for. I have taken care of and lived with many different sizes, breeds, and personalities, so I am very familiar with their behaviors. I am not afraid to get down and dirty if that means health and happiness for your furry friends.

About: I am very used to being around dogs. All of my family members have dogs and I often walk them everyday. I also used to walk dogs for my neighbors I currently sometimes work a 10-6 on weekdays. Sometimes I’m free during that time, it depends. I am for sure free in the evenings and all day on the weekends I often walk my dog everyday and we have a fenced in yard so i’ll let her run around there for a bit. I try and make sure she gets out atleast once every 2 hours

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have worked in the dog industry for the past three years! I have a passion for our furry friends, mine and yours! I work full time at a grooming salon and am free every Friday, Sunday as well as every other Saturday and after work during the week! I can do in your home care. I’ve worked with many different breeds, temperaments and health issues in pets and can follow detailed instructions regarding your pets!

About: Hello! I've taken care of dogs since I was 13. I worked in dog boarding and grooming for about a year and I've been a veterinary Technician for around 2 years! I am experienced in walking, feeding, bathing, and giving medications to dogs of all sizes. I am also certified fear free! I'm currently working full time so I would be unable to take any pets out during the day so most of what I can do would be in the morning or evening. I am happy to stay over at your home to take care of any pets as well. I do have 2 week days off a week so I'm free on those days. I have my own yard so my dog has his own area to play and potty. I also have a stand alone house so I don't share a wall with any neighbors so barking is never an issue for me.

About: Dogs have been apart of my life since I was born! Part of my chores was taking care of them. I love taking dogs on walks and playing at the doggy park! I also love giving dogs the best care I can! I personally try to stay updated on the best ways to care for dogs, instead of sticking to old ways of taking care of them. I have a part time job, I only work Sunday, Monday, and Tuesdays! But, I might have some weeks where my schedule looks different. I don’t mind waking up early or staying out late to take care of your babies! I can crate if your dog needs to be, I can also create enrichment items for them to have some fun! I’ll measure out food, take them outside, or walk them at a certain time. When it comes to pet care, I keep it simple yet fun to have a relaxing time. As well as if there needs to be strict rules, I’ll follow that as well!
