“This was the first time Tammy sat for us. She did a great job spoiling our girl Glady's! Tammy sent so many pictures and videos, we felt very comfortable and well informed. upon returning home, everything looked amazing! Clean and tidy, which was truly appreciated. We take Glady's with us on most trips, but when we can't, we have a trustworthy sitter. Thank you Tammy.”
“Kandice house-sat for us for almost 3 weeks while we were out of the country, and she took excellent care of our (60 lbs and very stubborn) dog and 2 cats. She frequently sent us updates and kept in close communication throughout our trip. We were delighted to return to a clean house and happy animals!”
“Jacklyn took great care of our pups when we were out of town! This was the first time we have left them for an extended period of time and they were happy and healthy when we got back! We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Rob took great care of our house and two cats while we were out of town for the holidays. He was here for 4 nights / 5 days and did all the usual cat car things: fed, gave meds, cleaned the boxes, and of course, played. Our cats were happy and settled when we returned. Rob is a clear and consistent communicator; he asks questions to ensure he understands what we're needing, he responds promptly, and encouraged us to ask him questions too, so that we could have the best experience possible! And he left the house clean and tidy! We will definitely be booking Rob for our future pet needs! Thanks Rob! :D”
“Kassidey was great with Penny and Diana! We got lots of updates and she even met and pet our very shy cat!! She has been very flexible with us while our schedules are kind of crazy too! Thanks!!”
About: I have had the honor of caring for a great variety of exotic animals including rats, guinea pigs, sulcata tortoises, snakes, box turtles, fish, birds, and dogs and cats. I always enjoy learning to care for a new creature! I have also volunteered at a husky rescue for two years and have experience with high-energy and reactive dogs. Each day, I care for my guinea pig and pup (further detail provided below). I am lucky to have a flexible schedule that allows me to drop in on both my pets and yours throughout the day! In my home, I currently have a 4-year-old guinea pig who I care for daily by providing enrichment, fresh veggies, and cleaning her enclosure. I also have a high-energy 2-year-old pup who I take on frequent walks and provide countless puzzles and toys for his destruction. I am willing to provide care in your home taking animals on walks, providing enrichment, food, water, and administering medication. I have experience with special dietary needs as well as administering oral and ear medications for dogs, guinea pigs, and rats.
“Ashleigh was amazing with Ralphie and we would ask her to watch him again in a heartbeat! She was very communicative, super friendly, and great to work with. She sent us loads of updates and pictures and videos throughout the night!”
“Great human being who took great care of my dog and my home. She followed all instructions on meds, feeding and treats for my very spoiled old man of 13.I definitely recommend her.”
About: I have 3 dogs of my own that I have trained myself. I have looked after friend’s animals numerous times. I have walked, fed, bathed, cut nails, and groomed dogs before. I currently work 8am-5pm, but can be flexible when needed. I'm off every weekend. I can work my schedule around what is needed and am willing. I don't normally have things scheduled after work other than taking my pups for a walk. I have three friendly and energetic pups that can keep yours company! I have a plethora of toys, treats, and my apartment complex has a dog park. I have a balcony that my dogs love to sit out on and play/sun bathe. I will love your pups like they are my own!
“Tereasa was SO GREAT with Henry! She arranged to meet with us in advance to make sure he was comfortable and kept me updated with pictures throughout our trip. I know that Henry was well cared for by his calmness when we got home. Normally if left alone he flips out as soon as I open the door. His demeanor when we arrived was as if we never left! He was in such great hands that I don’t even know if he noticed we were gone. This was my first time having someone housesit and I’m so glad we did. I would 100% recommend Tereasa to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter!”

About: I spent 9 years in Alaska raising, training, racing, and caring for sled dogs, including successfully completing the 2018 Iditarod. During that time, I was responsible for the daily care, health, exercise, feeding, and wellbeing of large teams of dogs in all types of conditions. My experience includes caring for multiple dogs at once, managing high-energy and working breeds, administering medications, monitoring health and behavior, and recognizing the nuances of how dogs communicate. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels—from laid-back seniors to strong, active dogs that require confident handling and structure. I also enjoy working with puppies and young dogs. I'm familiar with potty schedules, crate routines, basic obedience reinforcement, and helping young dogs develop good habits through consistency and positive interactions. Whether your dog(s) wants to go on an adventurous walk, a dependable drop-in visit, or attentive overnight care, I treat every dog as if they were my own and just want to provide a safe, reliable, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Special Experience: • 9 years raising, training, and caring for sled dogs • Finisher of the 2018 Iditarod • Experienced with multi-dog households • Comfortable with high-energy and working breeds • Puppy and young dog care experience • Medication administration • Experience with senior dogs and special care needs • Strong leash handling and dog behavior awareness I am currently working full time, with a somewhat abnormal schedule. I am available on weekends, and some other evenings and mornings. I work 7am to 4pm one week, then 10am to 7pm the next week. I can not accommodate pets in my own home at this time. I am happy to travel to, stay with and take care of others' pets and their property.
“Noa always does a great job, and I don’t usually leave comments, but this time I felt I had to. I was on the verge of cancelling my trip because my anxiety ridden doggo was having some loose bowels in the most inconvenient and public places, after being scared of the maintenance workers that recently visited. Then upon being so excited to see his buddy, Noa, decided to release that excitement in a very stinky way. Not to get too graphic, but I need to illustrate this so you know that Noa really went above and beyond to treat my Bandit like family. Noa was right there helping me clean up in the midst of my profuse apologies. I got tons of adorable and funny photos of Bandit in his doggy diaper, and I was so relieved he was in good hands while I was away. Noa gives frequent updates, and has truly gotten to know my boys. This is why I rebook over and over and over again.”
“Very pleased with Lacey's care of our home and dogs! They loved her to pieces and she was very comfortable with them even though they are big, strong , scary-looking rescue pitties! Highly recommend!”
“Would give Allison 10 stars, if we could! She took outstanding care of our home and most importantly Fiona! Will definitely have her stay again. Trust-worthy, Responsible, Caring…she sent the best pictures and kept us updated. Thanks Allison!!”

Kassidey was awesome! Tucker warmed up to her right away and that's sometimes a challenge for him. We are from out of state and staying in a hotel. Finding the hotel put Kassidey a little behind schedule but once she got there--no issues at at all. I would definitely call upon Kassidey again should we need Rover services in the Oxford, Ohio area.
Kandice is a fantastic dog- and house-sitter! She and our dog, Willow, had an immediate rapport. I felt very comfortable leaving on our trip knowing that Willow was in such capable hands. Every day (sometimes twice a day), Kandice sent pics to show me what they were doing. It was great to see Willow so busy and happy in our absence. We returned to a home that looked exactly as it did when we left and to a very happy, healthy, and excited dog. I would definitely have Kandice stay again.
Kari was fantastic with our dogs! I work from home so it was important for me to have someone who would primarily be at our house most of the day because that’s what they were used too and she was able too! She was attentive to their needs and followed instructions we gave to her. The dogs got a lot of outside time and plenty of cuddles! We would definitely hire her again!
