About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, and have taken care of them for so long. I treat my animals like kiddos and would do anything for yours! I only will be gone from my house for about 2 hours a day. The rest of the time I will be at home attending your animals! I will hangout and play with your animals when they want to and will keep them well fed and have plenty of water at all times!
“Latisha is an incredible sitter and went above and beyond in a way that I can’t even begin to mention in a tiny review on this website. I am forever grateful to have found her to watch my baby boy.”
About: I believe in treating every pup as my own! From pet-safe crafts to movie nights to trips to the dog park near my house; they will have a great time here. Please let me know if you would prefer for your dog(s) to have minimal physical activity or exercise. I’ve had dogs my entire life and was responsible learning how to care for them at a young age. I have some grooming experience as well. I am currently studying full time at home for the LSAT and will apply to law school this year! Rover has paved the way for me to pursue my passion for animal care and helped me to begin saving to pay for application fees. My open availability allows me to have flexibility and be at home to provide quality care for your dog(s) over 85 percent of the time. Please ask me about the possibility of a free trial night :) I have one friendly dog that would love to play but can be separated if needed. My dog is very well behaved and house trained.
About: Hi there! I’m Amy, a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to Riley, a sweet and sensitive 3 year old Mini Australian Shepherd. Growing up with two family dogs, I’ve always felt most at home with a furry friend by my side - and I’d love to help care for yours too. I’m from the DC area, lived in NYC and Philly after college, and moved to Columbus in fall of 2024 with my partner Jake. We live in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath home on the border of Victorian Village and Harrison West. We both work from home and have a fenced backyard, so your dog will have plenty of space to explore and lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your pup is playful or prefers alone time, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, respected and loved. Riley is an anxious guy himself, so I have a soft spot (and lots of experience!) for dogs who are nervous and/or reactive. I believe in patient, positive reinforcement and always move at your dog’s pace - whether that’s slow introductions, extra snuggles, or just giving them space to settle in. If you’d like, we can set up a meet-and-greet so I can learn all about your dog’s unique personality and needs! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m home the majority of the day, so I’m able to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime and companionship. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. I’m mindful of each dog’s personality and I follow their usual routines as closely as possible to help them feel at ease. If your pup prefers alone time, I make sure they have a quiet space to relax without pressure. I also use positive reinforcement to build trust, especially for anxious or reactive dogs.
“Great experience. Kevin has calm energy, a clean home, and seemed to know exactly how to handle my pup from the get go. Thanks Kevin! Mack is happy to have a new friend and a place to party :)”
About: I have taken care of animals for 6 years . I take care of cats and dogs! My family and I love going on walks, playing fetch in our backyard and cuddles 💜 My schedule is open most of the time because I am a stay at home mom! I do this full time and I care for your pet as if they are my own. They come to my house and get filled with love and affection 💜 I have a walking trail, and a big park close to me I love to take dogs on walks to either places . I also have a 7 year old son who loves to go on walks with me .
About: Meet your new pet sitter extraordinaire in Upper Arlington. Thanks to my work-from-home career, pet care is my specialty and my joy. Whether in your home or mine, I’m looking forward to caring for your pet. My home’s layout is naturally divided into sections that create the cat side and the dog side. The dog side includes a doggy door to my expansive back yard for daytime access. The cat side boasts two cat trees, a bay window, and a bird feeder. My dog is a 3-year-old black lab, fully vetted and vaccinated. She is quiet, friendly, and playful. Because my spouse is a certified dog trainer and canine handler, our pup is well trained. She was crate-trained originally, but now sleeps on our family room sofa where your dog is also welcome. I have experience administering insulin to a senior dog for whom I care in the owner’s home. I also have experience caring for a cat with a feeding tube in my home. I am comfortable giving oral and injectable medicines to both cats and dogs. Because I exclusively work from home and have flexibility in my schedule, I am ideally set up to provide pet care, including to dogs and cats with special needs. I can accommodate dog walks or in-home medication administration during daytime and evening hours. Thanks to my experience overseeing a childcare center when my children were young, I am skilled at logging and communicating pet routines to keep you updated while you are away. I keep daily logs of visits, walks, meds, and meals. You will receive photos of your fur-babies during playtime. I’m also happy to schedule video visits.
“Super kind people with a super sweet pup! Maple had a great time and was well taken care of. :)”
“This was not our first experience with doggy daycare, but it was by far the best! Lynn & Jeff were so sweet and accommodated a last minute booking for me and my pup, Rue. Rue is extremely shy when meeting new people but they were so kind and patient with her. I received numerous pictures and updates throughout the day. Lynn & Jeff very obviously love animals and made me and Rue feel comfortable. Rue left happy and exhausted! Highly recommend Lynn & Jeff :)”
“Alli is the best of the best! She put my heart and mind at ease. I was so nervous having someone watch our puppy and she was so reassuring and loving. She spoiled our puppy and provided updates every couple of hours! I could not be more thankful for her!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pups since I was 12 when my family got our first rescue! He turned out to be 125lbs so I have experience with larger dogs. I’ve had plenty of time with puppies as well! I recently relocated to Columbus from NYC and while I’m on the hunt for my next job opportunity, I figured I’d learn the area via the local canines! I have 2 friendly pups to keep yours company while you’re away! I don’t have a fenced in yard, but the Park of Roses is nearby for outdoor adventures. We have 2 dog crates if your pup prefers his or her own room.
“Hendrix had a really fun time at Holly's and enjoyed spending time with her adorable dog, Miles. Holly was very communicative and flexible. I definitely recommend her and we will book her again in the future.”

Lauren H.
“Lauren cared for my three cats on multiple occasions over several years, including an annual week-long conference trip. My cats were always relaxed and their litter and food areas clean upon my return. Knowing they are receiving good care and attention while I’m away and are not feeling stressed out makes traveling much easier. Unfortunately, I now live several states away because I have yet to find in-home cat care as good as what I received from Lauren when I lived in Columbus.”

Olentangy River Road dog parents share their Rover experiences
Shanelle and Ray are the ultimate Rover pair! My dog Luna just thrives when she goes to daycare at their house!
Took my babies in last minute and did a wonderful job looking after them. She was very attentive to their needs and sent me lots of updates!
Katie was very friendly and kind when my pup had a hard time adjusting . She provided me with updates and photos throughout the day. Katie was very patient and an excellent communicator ! Thank you
This was my first time using rover so I was a bit skeptical- but Annie was incredible and made everything stress free! She is definitely my GO TO for Fish now. He came home a happy sleepy pup
This was our first use of ROVER. The first moment we met Kevin, all of our helicopter parenting anxiety went away. Kevin went above and beyond our expectations. I can’t wait to watch Luna’s reaction the next time she gets to see her new best friend again. And WE CAN’T WAIT EITHER!! FREEDOM!!🤣
Ave was so communicative and accommodating! She took Ernie on several walks which I’m sure he enjoyed.
Emily and her pup were just what my energetic Teddy needed. Emily was very kind, with excellent communication, and she made the booking process simple despite the last minute nature of my request. Would definitely, and will definitely, book with her again!
Lynn & Jeff were great! They took my dog in very last minute and he had a great time with them. They provided a lot of updates and took great care of my dog!
Luna was comfortable with Logan and his dog Layla very quickly, which isn’t always true with every new person and dog she meets. i appreciated that he lives nearby and was available the next day. Luna came home happy and tired.
Haley was great about taking my pup last minute with long hours!! I got lots of pictures and my dog came home happy and tired!! I couldn’t have asked for anything better!
Aysenur did such a great job for my Maltese pup daycare. She quickly responded to my request and the communication with her was so easy. Aysenur has a nice clean room in a nice neighborhood. My dog was already missing her when we were leaving her place. Highly recommended!
