“Audrey is a wonderful kitty sitter, I can’t wait to ask her again to watch my little girls when I go out of town again. Extremely reliable and communicative! I can’t be more grateful.”

“Mariya was great! She was communicative and sent pictures throughout her visit with my dog. She also asked additional questions to make sure all needs were met. Thanks so much Mariya!”

“Tracey is fantastic. I was so nervous about leaving my puppy but she eased both of our nerves. She’s so thoughtful and sweet. I will definitely book her again!”
“Lauren was great with our senior dog Roman this weekend! We received thorough updates each visit and he got great walks. Lauren went above and beyond with care for him!”

“Danielle did a great job easing my fears being my first time using rover. She was excellent with communication I felt like I was there with them knowing how each drop in visit was going, the pictures I got and overall communication. She was always very attentive and responded always in a fast timely fashion. I couldn’t have been more pleased with her care for my dogs and we will definitely use her again!”

“Meghana provided high quality care to my cats with timely visits and thorough updates. I loved the photos she sent! And I appreciated how communicative she was before and during my trip!”

About: I've grown up with 2 family dogs and I have also dog-sit for many other friends and family over the years. The tasks I have been assigned with while cat-sitting for others have been: ▪️checking-in: making sure there is food and water available ▪️cleaning up any accidents or vomit (My dog Callie would pee every time she got excited so I know some tricks to help clean it up!) ▪️Usually have been asked to stay and give their dogs company/play with them and tire them out ▪️Before leaving I make sure no plastic, broken toy pieces or other choking hazards left on the floor I'm currently working part-time so I have a lot of free time throughout the week! So I can usually do check-ins during the day as well. I am an advocate of making sure a pets needs are met and safety is also present in care. This looks like putting away choking hazards for the pets before I leave, and I also typically make sure they still have access to food and water (unless there's other specific instructions!).
“Kaitlyn was amazing. She sent updates and several pictures for every visit, her notes were always very detailed and she was very communicative with us about our dog. 100% recommend her.”

“Jeffery is fantastic! He takes excellent care of my two dogs and always gives me peace of mind when they're in his care. He’s reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

About: I have been watching dogs since I was a kid. Starting in elementary school I would watch an adult and senior dog, Frankie and Bianca, for my neighbor. What started as just feeding, walks, and playtime grew to include cleaning up after them and handling medications and minor, non-medical, palliative care. As an adult I petsit regularly for friends and family. I love playing with all furry friends to ensure their brains stay stimulated! I love snuggling and giving all the pats and attention to cuddly pets, but am always content to just offer a comforting presence to even the most solitude-seeking animals. A close friend had a horrible experience with boarding her cat once which really motivated me to enter the pet-sitting space. I know how important and deserving of love and respect all animals are, so I can promise I would care for your pets as if they were my own! I am based in Northwest Columbus but work in Gahanna, so depending on where you live I can come by for 2/3 potty breaks for your pet(s)! My weekends are open for animal time as well! If you leave trash bags, broom, dustpan, paper towels/rags, and pet cleaner in an easy to find place I can ensure your home will be found in the same good condition you leave it in! I change diapers at work so I am not easily grossed out. Whether it is scooping poop or cleaning hairballs, I got it covered!
“Yasmin is fabulous! She took time to meet our pup prior to starting weekly drop ins so he felt comfortable. She asked such thoughtful questions to ensure she knew about his care and what he would need. During the visits with our pup, she has been so detailed and loving with our boy. It’s clear that she really enjoys what she does. Could not ask for a better pal for our pup! Thank you, Yasmin!!”

“Bonnie was wonderful! She was incredibly consistent with her visits, and played and loved our puppies like they were her own! she sent us great pics to let us see our girls, as we missed them so much🌴. she also went above and beyond to bring in the mail each day. Bonnie will be our “go to” sitter from now on!”

About: Hello! My name is Hannah and I start veterinary technician school in august of 2026 through Columbus State Community College. I am also in the Penn Foster vet assistant program. A little about me when I have free time I do scientific illustrations and volunteer at Ohio Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. I have about a year of experience as a kennel technician at two general practice clinics. That position includes cleaning, walking, medicating, bathing, and supervising. I am willing to be pretty flexible with pricing, dates, or specific needs so please just reach out if you need to discuss! Thank you for your time! I will be working part time and in school on Teusday’s starting September 2026. I would be available for drop ins after work or school and staying till relatively late evening or overnight if necessary on weeknights. On most weekend days if I am not volunteering at Ohio Wildlife Rehab I will be available the entire weekend! Currently I am looking for a vet assistant position and I am available full time! Since I will be coming into clients homes I think respect for your space and your animal is key. Pets are like fluffy three year olds and I understand the importance of kindness! Some animals need round the clock care (seniors, puppies, disability) and I more than happy to provide that. I like to learn your animals routines and what makes them tick to keep anxiety down while you are away!
“Abby is top-notch! She is genuinely caring, loves pets and really makes our dog feel just like she’s being cared for by us! She even celebrated our pup’s birthday with a trip to get a frozen dog bday treat. ❤️”


About: I worked at a kennel for a year growing up and consistently volunteered at animal friends. In Pittsburgh I had a small pet sitting business within my neighborhood. I have taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles, hedgehogs, guinea pigs and birds. I’m between jobs currently so I have a lot of availible time. Would love to go on some walks during the day or explore some parks. Otherwise just spending time with the pet! I would follow all instructions set by the owner for keeping the pet safe in their home, yard or area. My neighborhood is very walkable and there is green space around if that is an option

About: I have experience taking care of dogs with specific medical issues that need specific medication multiple times a day. I care for older dogs who need more time during walks or shorter walks. I am free in the morning to drop in for a walk and during the day for a quick playtime visit, and in the evening for a feed and evening walk. I can help assist by going to your home and taking your dog out or feeding them where they are most comfortable. When meeting a dog for the first time I always check to see if they’re comfortable with me, as we progress building a positive relationship.

About: I’ve been around at least 2 to 3 dogs my entire life both big and small! I absolutely love all of the furry friends and believe each animal deserves their dedicated time and attention! I have my dog Timber, she is a rescue and was quite reactive when I first got her, so I have lots of experience with calming anxious pups and taking things at their pace!! I will always ensure to take each animal’s temperament and routine into account while caring for them. I believe our pets are our children and I will treat yours like my own! I have cared for friends and family’s dogs and cats both in drop in style and dog sitting over night. I am comfortable giving oral and subcutaneous medication injections to animals (I had to do this for one of my old pups and my family’s horse). I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends! I am a registered nurse and work 3 days a week on day shift, so I will have 4 days off a week to help with walks or drop ins. Depending on how far you are from work I could consider a drop in after my shift ends around 7:30pm. My schedule on days off are extremely flexible, so I can adjust my time to fit your animal’s needs! I believe that our pets are our children and I will always treat your pet as my own! In your home, I will be respectful of your space and make sure to leave the space exactly the way I found it! I know how important routines are to animals so I like to get to know each pet and stick to their routine as strictly as possible to ensure they feel as comfortable as they can with me around!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Northwest
Corey was an amazing Rover sitter! He was on time, took wonderful care of my cat, and went above and beyond by washing all of the food and water bowls before I got home. My cat had a great play session, and Corey sent lots of adorable photos and updates throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I always knew how my cat was doing. I would absolutely book Corey again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!

Ashley was fantastic with our three older dogs over the long weekend! Taking care of senior pups can be a lot to manage, but she handled everything with incredible patience and professionalism. Her communication was great, and we returned home to happy, well-cared-for dogs. We’re so grateful to have found such a reliable, compassionate sitter and would definitely book Ashley again!

We had so much peace of mind while being away knowing Valarie was checking on our 3 cats. She had great communication before and during the visit and sent lots of pictures! Valarie gave medicine daily to our big boy, she had our sweet nervous girl out of hiding and looking for belly rubs every day, and even our sassy calico warmed up to her!

Audrey is an amazing Rover sitter! She always responds quickly, is consistently available, and goes above and beyond in the care she provides. Coco loves her, and I always feel comfortable knowing she is in good hands. Highly recommend Audrey if you’re looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
