About: I’ve owned and taken care of animals my entire life that include a wide variety of medical needs to reactivity from puppies to seniors. Willing to provide the best care to your fur baby with daily photo updates.

I also have experience with reactive large breed dogs as well as high energy working dogs. You can expect a a daily update with pictures.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes - I grew up with Labs and took on dog sitting when I was 18. Now 22, I have 2 dogs of my own and care for them like they’re my children. I have experience with dogs from Labs to Corgis to Huskys - I also have experience in training my own dogs with a local program, so I am well versed in being a responsible care taker. I work from home! A lot of what I do on a daily basis can be done through my phone and my schedule is very flexible. In our home, we love to keep our dogs active and socialize them. We take them on short trips to Hocking Hills, play in the backyard and go on walks to the local park. In a client’s home, I am always considering the dog’s typical routine to keep them happy while their owners are away.

About: I have dogsat for many friends and families over the years and have my own little guy at home! I love animals and love to be able to spoil them any chance i get! I am a full time student but have a lot of flexibility, I have my own puppy at home I am currently training as well and a full grown puppy as well! I have spent many years around dogs in my day to day routine. I find that keeping animals on set schedules helps with their anxiety and keeps them comfortable and confident! I love to gives dogs a happy and healthy life and I think playtime and fun should always be included into every routine!
About: With over 8 years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine, I bring a deep understanding of animal health, behavior, and emergency care to every pet I look after. My background includes working alongside veterinarians in clinical settings, assisting with diagnostics, surgical procedures, and administering medications. Whether it’s managing pets with chronic conditions, administering medications, or simply offering a calming presence, my veterinary experience ensures your pet is in capable, compassionate hands. I prioritize safety, well-being, and individualized care for every animal, treating each one as if they were my own. I am currently working full time at a veterinary clinic. While I am not available during the day, I will be available after 6:00 pm and in the mornings before I leave for work. I am also available almost all day during the weekends to be around for your pets. When caring for both my own pets and a client’s pet, I treat each animal with the same level of love and attention. I make sure they are fed on time and have access to fresh water throughout the day. I take dogs for regular walks to keep them active and happy, and for cats or other pets, I ensure litter boxes are kept clean and fresh. I love interacting with animals—whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company. I want them to be comfortable and feel cared for! I also give treats (with permission) as a way to reward good behavior and build trust. Every pet in my care is treated like family.
“Carrie was an amazing house and pet sitter. She took excellent care of our Basset Fiona sending videos and pictures. Also, our air conditioning went out during a heat wave while Carrie was sitting. She was super helpful in letting in the technicians to do the repairs needed and sending pictures of the progress. I highly recommend Carrie!!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats. As an adult, I have three cats and one dog. I have house-sat for a few families over the years and have really enjoyed it! I am a stay-at-home mom. I volunteer throughout the week and have planned activities for my children, but my schedule is quite flexible. I am happy to work with you and your pet’s needs! For dogs who are boarded at my house, I will provide at least one walk per day (distance will vary on dog’s ability, but I usually take mine on a 3-mile walk). I will have play time and will accommodate any feeding schedule necessary. For dogs being cared for in YOUR home, I will happily work with you on his/her needs and schedule. :) Same for cats and other pets!
“Katarinna provided us with excellent service. She is very conscientious keeping us fully informed during her stay with our dog. She was most attentive to our dog’s needs as he is a high energy dog and requires a significant amount of interaction.”
About: I an 3 year veterinary nurse with 2 years experienced in pet sitting . I will treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that animals need more than just food and walks—they need love, attention, and a calm, reassuring presence while you’re away. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, I tailor my care to fit each pet’s personality and routine. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or medication needs, I’m reliable, attentive, and always on schedule. I also provide regular updates, so you stay connected with your furry friend. Safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. You can count on me to ensure your pet feels at home—even when you’re not. Trust, compassion, and care define my service. Let me give you peace of mind, and give your pet the love they deserve. I am currently a part time veterinary nurse so. I tend to be able to schedule myself very well to make sure I prioritize every pet I’m sitting and make sure they always come first. I’m deeply committed to the well-being of my clients animals. I pay close attention to their physical and emotional needs, ensuring they’re fed a proper diet, have clean water, and live in a safe, comfortable environment. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat who are literally my children. I currently don’t have a fenced in yard due to no need for one because my pets are really well and staying on my property. So when it comes to pet sitting in my home , depending on how trained the animals are I am some times able to have them roam free with my pets along with supervision or I tend to leash walk if that’s way doesn’t work out . I prioritize myself on keeping my pets safe and other people’s pets safe as well.
“Abigale was great! She stayed at our house for over 10 days to watch our English Mastiff, Meera, and our short-haired cat, Starlord. Abigale took great care of our animals, giving us picture updates regularly. We will definitely be using her again. A helpful tip for anyone interested in the 'House Sitting' service: On top of the Rover fee, we offered to provide a fully stocked fridge and pantry with items of her request. We also tipped her for the care she provided. These are not required, however, it does seem like something that should at least be offered to the sitter.”

Kaela w.
“Kaela has been my go-to dog sitter for many, many years. I have had a series of crazy Boston terriers, usually two at a time, and she has taken care of all of them with such love and attention. She's cared for them when they were truly crazy puppies, and when they were senior dogs who sometimes were hard of hearing and nearly blind. The dogs have sometimes been on special diets and often on medications that were different for each dog. I knew the dogs would get what they each needed, and no detail would be overlooked when they were in her care. It always eased my mind that she was with them because I knew they were getting the best love and snuggles and play possible. My preferred way to have a dog sitter is for the sitter to stay in my home and I knew with Kaela the house would be the same when I walked back in the door as it was when I left. Our dogs usually prefer to sleep with us and Kaela was even willing to share her bed with the little bed hogs. I can't say enough how much I rely on Kaela as my dog sitter, nor how much my dogs love her.”

“Jess truly has a gift with animals! Our dog loves her and is so excited every time she walks in the door. Her background in the veterinary environment gives her an edge over other pet sitters, in my opinion. What really makes her most valuable, though, is her passion and intense love for animals. Jess loves and cares for our dog like it’s her own pet. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is an absolute gem!”

Kaitlin is trustworthy, loving, and clearly has a natural gift with animals. Highly recommend her to anyone who wants their pets loved like family!”
