10. Michele B.
“This is where you wanna leave your pup. She is an amazing woman very sweet animals. Love her just a wonderful, wonderful woman. My dog was so happy that he didn’t freak out when I left.”
11. Emma D.
“A lover of all animals big and small, Emma is a passionate and trusted caregiver. With a background caring for and rehabilitating wildlife—everything from baby eagles to raccoons and bobcats—she takes her role seriously and always acts in the interest of the animal under her watch. I have a hyperactive cat who craves attention and a ton of playtime, which makes it difficult for me to trust just anyone to watch him, but Emma. She just knows how their brains work, and how to make them comfortable and happy when family is away. An excellent communicator, Emma would send me updates and videos of Fitz playing and sleeping as if he didn’t know we were gone!”
12. Jessica M.

13. Fernanda & Bruno C.
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Fernanda & Bruno. They kept us updated with text and pictures throughout our puppy's stay with them. I highly recommend and trust them to take care of our fur baby and will definitely request their services when I need a pet sitter. Thank you Fernanda and Bruno for giving our baby so much love and attention.”
14. Marlyn G.
“Marlyn has been an absolute blessing for us and our anxiety-prone Labrador Chocolate. From the moment we entrusted Marlyn with the care of our beloved pet, we knew we had made the right choice. Marlyn's understanding of Chocolate's anxiety issues was evident right from the start. She took the time to familiarize herself with his needs and quirks, ensuring that he felt comfortable and secure in her care. This level of attentiveness and empathy truly set our minds at ease. One of the things we appreciated most about Marlyn was her commitment to keeping us updated on Chocolate's well-being. She regularly provided us with timely updates on how he was doing, including photos and messages that never failed to put a smile on our faces. Knowing that Chocolate was in good hands and being so well taken care of helped alleviate our worries and allowed us to enjoy our time away. Marlyn's dedication to her work and her genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction we had with her. Her professionalism, reliability, and kindness did not go unnoticed, and we are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care she provided to Chocolate. We cannot recommend Marlyn highly enough to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter. Thank you, Marlyn, for going above and beyond to ensure that Chocolate was happy, safe, and loved while we were away. You are truly a gem, and we look forward to having you care for Chocolate again in the future.”
15. Richard & Sara F.
“This was the greatest experience for my non-traditional pet. My guinea pig fit right in with their family. They were also extremely flexible with my travel plans and delays!”
16. Rachel K.
“A home away for my pup while I am away! Rachel is caring, always keeps me updated on my dog’s endeavors and her pup loves Scout. Definitely the best sitter in the Columbus area.”
17. Rayann S.
“Everything went wonderfully! I received small reports and photos of the cat every day. Thanks to this, I felt that the cat was in good hands and I had no reason to worry. I definitely recommend!”
18. Carissa A.
“Carissa was fantastic! My fiancé and I were looking for someone to watch his mothers dog and our dog over our wedding weekend. Carissa was so flexible and incredibly responsive to all our questions (even while she was on vacation). She took wonderful care of our pets and I would recommend her to anyone!”
19. Ellen F.
“This was our first time using Rover. We selected Ellen because she had many positive reviews as well as multiple returning clients. We made the right choice selecting Ellen to watch our fur babies. She is extremely accommodating and understanding. Our 2 pups have a number of quirks, but Ellen worked with them and gave them a home away from home. She sent multiple pictures a day and some videos, along with an update of the daily activities. We will absolutely be using Ellen if we go away and need a sitter. I cannot speak any higher of Ellen. Highly recommend! Thanks again Ellen for putting our minds at ease.”
20. Megan M.
“What an amazing sitter! Megan kept my kiddo for a week and I never once doubted that he was in great hands. I got tons of adorable updates and pictures and when I picked Ozzie up, he was very calm and happy, not anxious and ready to leave the way he’s seemed with some other pet sitters in the past. She seemed very thoughtful about how she did things and accommodated everything he needed (for example covering her floor in blankets and towels because he doesn’t like walking on smooth floors, lol). Definitely will be booking with her again!”
