“Zack was amazing with my cat! This was my first time using Rover, and he went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable with the process. He was extremely communicative while I was away and kept me informed about everything going on with Phileas. The daily photos were such a bonus and really put my mind at ease.”

“Shannon has done such a great job taking care of my pup Walter for the past couple of weeks! She is punctual, professional, and informative. I would recommend Shannon’s pet care to any and all people in Columbus!”

About: As an independent contractor, I make my own schedule. This allows me to operate on a very flexible calendar. In addition to being the go-to care taker for the pets in my circle, I also have a lifestyle that allows for me to go the extra mile and hangout longer, play more, and go for longer walks! I currently make my own schedule. So pet care fits in tremendously. I work as a freelance film and commercial laborer. Being in charge of my calendar allows me to schedule accordingly to take care of your pet! Having two cats of my own, while I can't house animals at my own residence, I am very familiar with the needs of pets. Playtime, treats, head scratches, and the like. I love every animal deeply and with a great respect. I treat every space with the utmost dignity and try to keep as small of a footprint as possible when entering someone's home. I have been house sitting, dog/cat watching for many years now. I look forward to ensuring you have an enjoyable, trustworthy experience when working with me.

“We met Melanie during the pandemic, and she has watched our kitty Boots for us a couple times so far. She is/was very respectful of covid precautions and made us feel very comfortable during our meet and greet. She clearly has a love for animals and will give your pet TLC while you are away. She took the time to listen to our requests and answered any questions we had. She shows up on time and pays attention to the detailed notes/tasks we leave. We recommend Melanie!”

“Sydney took the best care of my cat while I was away! She sent me lots of pictures of my cat and played with him plenty. He can be apprehensive to new people, but he warmed up to her right away because she was so good with him.”

“Heidi has been doing daily drop ins for our two dogs for almost two weeks now. She is wonderful. Lots of communication, pictures, and goes the extra mile. I was hesitant about using Rover instead of taking my dogs to daycare. She has reinforced that we made the right choice!”

“Nevaeh once again was a great help for us when we needed our pets checked in on! She was timely and patient with one of our cats who was very shy at first. She did all of the things we needed and will of course reach out to her if we need her services again!”

About: I have been a vet assistant, I’ve worked with horses, cats, dogs, birds, lizards, and snakes. I always go the extra mile and believe that pets deserve the very best. I was a vet assistant and specialized in “difficult “ pets. I will go at your pets speed, whatever helps them be more comfortable. If your pet needs more time to adjust, I will give them that. I take care of your babies as if they were mine, I will give them love and attention with boundaries. I specialize in difficult cases. If your pet needs a little extra time and attention that’s no problem.
About: I've spent over a decade caring for pets professionally across Chicago and Columbus, and honestly, it's one of my favorite things I do. Dogs, cats, big personalities, shy ones, seniors, and pets with medical needs- I've cared for them all, and I bring the same level of attention and consistency to every single visit. As a pet owner myself, I know what it actually feels like to hand your animal over to someone and hope for the best. That's why I communicate proactively, follow your care instructions closely, and treat every pet like they're my own, because I genuinely understand the trust that takes. I offer walks and drop-ins for dogs, and drop-in visits plus harness walks for leash-trained cats. I'm experienced with medications, medical care, mobility challenges, and special needs pets of all kinds. If your pet has a specific routine or requires extra attention, that's not a complication for me — it's just part of the job. I always love a meet-and-greet before the first visit so your pet can see a familiar face on day one. Feel free to reach out with any questions before booking, I'm happy to chat! I'm currently taking a sabbatical from my full-time work to do some personal rearranging in my life. I've always loved animals more than people, so I wanted to get back into caring for other folks fur babies while on my break. Because of this, I have open availability! For me, pet care is like its own personal therapy. I care for my client's pets the same way I care for mine- with undivided attention, structured routine, and love. I want to make sure YOU are comfortable leaving your pet with me, so however you need that environment to look like. I love over communication and detailed care instructions- anything to make you feel that your baby is in safe, capable hands.
About: I have had dogs since the day I was born. I currently have a 13, 3, and 2 year old dogs. I have experience with medication management and administration. As well as dogs with serious medical issues. I am capable of taking care of dogs of all ages. I am currently in college a couple days a week during the summer and I currently am working a flexible job. Both allow for a lot of downtime. As of right now I only have 1-2 days during the week which are unavailable but other than that I have a lot of free time! I have experience with dogs who have destructive behavior so if your dog needs kenneld or close supervision I am capable. I am someone who pays close attention to my own dogs and when I watch other dogs I try to treat them as my own!
“JoVonna is so great! I’ve rebooked her several times — I travel frequently and sometimes last minute. Really appreciate of her availability and she’s very patient with my shy little bebe and I know she’ll be well taken care of with her.”


About: I frequently pet sit / house for friends and family, and enjoy it - so I figured why not try out Rover to make some extra cash while giving pets and their owners the comfort of knowing their furry loved ones are safe/happy in their own home. Currently I work a full-time job at The Ohio State University with my weekday schedule set at 7am-4pm. My evenings and weekends are free - except for the occasional concert and Columbus Crew home games. I am a very attentive pet sitter who enjoys the company of pets and will tend to the pet’s needs as the owner sees fit.

“It was so nice to be able to enjoy a day out and know that my dog was taken care of just how I would! He got a nice walk, dinner, play time, and I received plenty of pictures. I really appreciate how kind and great at communicating Taylor is and would definitely have her look after my dog again!”

“Jenessa was a great sitter for Estie! She was always quick to respond, and was very flexible and helpful during my trip. I came home to a happy cat, which is all I can ask for! Thanks again:)”
