“Ann did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was out of town. She sent the greatest daily recaps with multiple pictures, which was *so* appreciated. I’d give 6 stars if I could. My boy was so happy and relaxed when I got home thanks to her care and attention.”


“We were on vacation for a week and Erica was wonderful as always with our German shepherd. She truly cares about the family, home & pet she is caring for and we appreciate all that she does to help us! She’s always our first pick & we highly recommend her to everyone!”


“Megan was absolutely amazing with our pets. They have so many different needs. She was attentive and comforting not only to my pets but me as well. We were so lucky to have her as a sitter!”


“Paige was a fantastic dog sitter. We have two dogs who aren’t the best with strangers, but during the meet and greet she made them feel comfortable and did very well with them. She was so communicative during the stay, updated with pictures, and asked about certain behaviors to ensure she wasn’t letting bad behavior happen. She was so so amazing and definitely recommend!!!”


“Morgan is a god send!! She spent the day, night and morning at my downtown Columbus apartment looking after my 16-22 mo. old rescue American Bully while I was away for the weekend and did a perfect job. I didn’t know Morgan personally, but upon our meet and greet, I immediately felt comfortable leaving my dog for the first time in her care. She took Shadow on many walks, fed him as I asked, was a fast communicator, kept me in the loop with photos and updates, and was very respectful of my apartment. I came home to a very happy boy!! Thank you Morgan for looking after Shadow on such short notice. Will look to you for your support again! 😊🐶”


“Rebecca was amazing! She was so patient and calm with my little guy. It took a bit for him to warm up. She didn’t bat an eye at all my requests or learning how to walk a cat. 😁 She sent daily updates with pictures. Rebecca stayed overnight for a week and I’m pretty sure she left the place cleaner than I left it. She even went the extra mile to stay a bit longer when my flight came in late and turned the lights on so I didn’t come home to a dark space. The little guy is happy, clean and healthy. I was able to really relax during vacation knowing everything was taken care of at home. I will definitely ask Rebecca to come stay again the next time I go out of town.”


“Ellie is an absolute pleasure. She's exceptionally polite and very efficient with her time. She stayed with my pup and gave her plenty of walks, lots of time and care and I'd HIGHLY RECOMMEND her. She was pleasant from the meet n greet all the way to the end. She asked great questions to ensure she knew as much as she could including any of homesitting needs before staying at my home. She also sent me tons of updates and photos while I was away. I was so comfortable with her and her communication was tip top! If anyone is need of a sitter, Ellie is your person, hands down! BOOK HER NOW!!!!”


“Allison is absolutely awesome! She stayed over at our home with our two dogs and cat and everything went so well. The pets all just love her and it was easy to see from her messages and pictures that she took great care of our pets and our home. We all look forward to having Allison come again the next time a need arises!”


“Ryn did an incredible dog sitting our yorkie/schnauzer mix who has pretty high separation anxiety. Louie eventually warmed up to her and she kept in contact with updates, easing any worries I had while traveling.”


“Lily was very friendly and was available rather last minute which made our lives so much easier! She was communicative and followed instructions perfectly. Would recommend her for any pet needs :)”


“Emily is amazing and so sweet! This was our first time using Rover and I was so nervous—we always get nervous leaving our babies, but Emily made this trip less stressful for us. I would definitely book with her again! Our dogs were well taken care of, as well as our home! She followed all instructions to a tee and even went above and beyond! We also appreciated her sending lots of updates, photos, & videos!”


“Patricia did an amazing job with my doggies! I felt very at ease with her being there and she kept me informed with lots of pictures! She was awesome!”


“Keely helped us enjoy our trip away from home without having to worry about our furballs while away. She was exceptionally easy to work with while showing great care for the animals.”


“This is one of the best pet sitters I’ve ever had… Her communications were amazing- she took tons of photos showed concern and questions when the dogs acted in a way she wasn’t sure… Just in general she treated them as if they were her own. She was a phenomenal sitter and I will definitely use her again!”


“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 ❤️”


About: I have had dogs in my family since I was little and adopted a little tuxedo cat two years ago. I have worked for various humane societies and watched family and friends pets for the past 8 years. Happy to watch dogs or cats! I will be available full-time from June through early August, so pet care will be a central part of my daily routine. With a very flexible schedule, I’m able to prioritize each pet’s unique needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just providing companionship. I'm committed to giving pets consistent attention and care throughout the day and adapting to any specific routines they may already have. Since I’m not able to have pets in my apartment, I provide care in my clients' homes. I focus on maintaining the pet’s regular routine in a familiar environment, which helps reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication, or just spending quality time together. I also make sure to keep the home tidy and follow any specific instructions the owner provides.

“Cody was with our Odin for 10 long days. We missed our guy tons but Cody checked in often and sent us lots of pics and updates. And spoiled him with fun activities. Runs and wrestling. Odin even tired to leave with Cody when it was time for him to go! Our house was in perfect condition as well. Cody is a wonderful care taker and our go to guy when we need a pet sitter! Thank you so much Cody!”


“Brittany was great with our pup! This was the first time we had left her so we were a little nervous of course. Brittany checked in and sent us updates at least once a day and Opal even jumped in a mud puddle right before Brittany was going to leave and she stayed to give her a bath :)”


“Kristin was the absolute best! She took such great care of Benji, made sure he had everything he needed, and even sent me picture updates throughout the stay! I came back home to a very VERY happy pup :)”


“Taylor was exactly what we wanted from a house sitter/petsitter. Communication was easy, pictures were frequent, and the pets were happy. We will be using her again. Thank you!”
