House Sitting in Prospect

“I am so thankful to have found Caitlin. I had a last minute issue with my previously arranged pet sitter and turned to Rover hoping for the best. With less than 48 hours turnaround from contract to start of my extended vacation she was able to accommodate a meet and greet and was more than willing to take on my entire menagerie, even making herself comfortable with a rat and a bearded dragon! She was great at following the extensive directions I left and she communicated with me on the regular, sending me pics of my happy, happy crew. I’ll definitely be using Caitlin again, if I can ever afford another vacation after the last one!”

“David is fantastic! Our dogs really love David and he was awesome with sending us a lot of updates with pictures. We're pretty obsessed with our dogs, despite their little quirks which makes going away for us pretty difficult and David was wonderful with putting our minds at ease while we were away. He was very proactive with setting up a time to come meet us and our pups and I knew from his kind demeanor that he would be great. He asked us a lot of great questions that I didn't even think about, so I knew he was careful with the details of our dogs. We will definitely book with David again and I highly recommend him!”

“This was my first time leaving my two dogs with someone other than family. Kailyn did an amazing job with my two dogs who have a lot of behavioral issues that require special considerations (feeding and walking separately, medications, etc). She sent me pics and videos of the dogs too. Highly recommend!”

“Maggie is awesome! She kept us updated with pictures and notes every day we were away. Our dog, Lucy, seemed to get along really well with her dog, Willow. It was really sweet to see them play together in videos. I would definitely trust Maggie to take care of our pets again.”

“Marissa has watched our three dogs twice now, and they were very well cared for each time. Our home also looked great when we got back. We are very happy with Marissa and appreciate her staying with our girls on short notice.”

“Brittany is the best! This is the 2nd time I've used her when I travel abroad for over 2 weeks. All three of my dogs (all on multiple meds, 2 in diapers, 2 elderly, 1 special diet, 4x day need to go out) get all the care, attention, play and love they need. She communicates well without being intrusive, sends me pictures, and alerts me if anything is going on of concern with the house. It's difficult to put a price on the peace of mind I have when she is holding down the fort so I can enjoy my respite away. I will continue to use Brittany. I encourage you to book her for your next vacation.”

About: I have taken care of Seniors, Baby-sat, and have pets. I’ve had several years in customer service and am a responsible college student that goes to a classical Christian college called Grove City College. Walking, cleaning, and feeding pets has been a part of my life for several years. I think what is more telling is my commitment to menial tasks everyday. I am a reliable, disciplined, and routinely individual. In my clients home, I will consistently play with their pets. I’ve had prior expirence taking care of pets and really love animals. I also feed them and walk them on a schedule.

“Our dog had a great time being watched by Morgan! She took wonderful care of him and was very respectful of our home. We’d gladly have her watch him again.”

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.

“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!

“McKenna took care of my dog Gravy really well while I was gone for the business trip. She came on time to my place for the early morning before I left to go to the airport. She sent me the many pictures of Gravy with all of the updates so I felt relieved to know that he’s in the good hands! He usually gets anxious and used to have a separation anxiety but he did great with McKenna’s care! She really took care of him like her own dog 😊 My place was left clean after she left! I will definitely request for her for Gravy’s care in the future as well! Thank you so much 🙏”

About: Hi! I'm Kristoff, an experienced and passionate pet-sitter based in Marion. I may not be the chattiest person in the room—but that’s exactly why you can trust I’ll focus on what matters most: taking care of your furry family like they’re my own. I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10—walking, feeding, playing, and even doing basic training. Friends and family often rely on me to care for shy or energetic pets, and I pride myself on building trust quickly and gently. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to spend caring for your pets in your home. I’m happy to accommodate same-day requests, holiday visits, or anything last-minute. I’ll treat your pet like family—respecting your home, following your routines, and providing thoughtful care with plenty of updates. Whether your pet needs a calm companion or an active playmate, I’m here to help. My schedule is very flexible and changes often due to multiple part-time jobs and landlord responsibilities. However, I’m typically available every day, and I rarely work more than one job per day. This means I can often accommodate short-notice and same-day bookings, including holidays. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in, or even a quick ride to urgent care, I do my best to be there when you need me. Just reach out—I’ll do everything I can to make it work. I currently care for pets in their homes, as I’m in the process of buying my own. I have one dog of my own—a pit bull/shepherd mix—who is wonderful with people but not other dogs, so I do not offer boarding at this time. I take a calm, patient approach to shy or anxious pets—giving them space, earning their trust, and going at their pace. For high-energy pets, I offer play, walks, and activities to help release that energy in healthy ways. While I don’t currently own crates or pet-specific equipment, I’m open to meeting client needs as they arise. I treat every pet like they’re family, and I aim to make them feel safe, seen, and understood.

“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.”

“Cassie was wonderful! She was so good with our pets - all 5 of them! - while we were away on vacation. We felt very comfortable with her at our house, she’s very trustworthy. We will absolutely use her again!”

About: I've taken care of different types of dogs since I was 10. Growing up, my parents would rely on me too walk and feed our pups and overtime it became easy and just another part of my routine. I have a 1 year old golden at home whom I've had since she was just a couple weeks old. Dogs of all ages are welcome! I have a rooftop that I can directly access from my apartment with plenty of space for pups of any size to run around as well as a dog park within walking distance that I walk to almost every day.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 7. Coming from somewhat of a farm life. I have always had a dog. Used to work with dogs that just came into a shelter that is no longer there I love to work with dogs, walk and dog sit. No dog is to small or to big. Love comes in all Sizes! I am available during the week and on weekends. Will work around your schedule if need be. Will come to you so they feel secure in their own home I have a fenced in yard. 3 Friendly dogs I prefer to do at your home so dogs are in their comfort zone and do not get stressed out

“If I could give Bella 10 stars I would. She was absolutely fantastic! She stayed at our house and watched our 2 dogs (1 who requires daily medicine and extra care) and 4 cats while we were on vacation. She sent pictures and updates, and even went above and beyond to let me know anything extra she noticed during her stay. We will definitely be booking her again!”

About: I started taking care of family and friends dogs from 12 years old. I can bathe, walk, play with all ages. I have sat for senior dogs as well. I work from home so can come to your home and stay to take care of your fur babies and keep them company. I strive to keep your babies on the same routine as they are accustomed to. I will be keeping the same routine as you have set for your babies, to ensure their lives are disrupted as little as possible and make sure they feel safe and loved.
