âRyan was awesome! He was very accommodating with my schedule changes, and Leo was soo happy when he came back from his walks. Will definitely book with him again in the future!â

âI can't say enough about Abby! My dog is pretty shy and fussy about who he makes friends with. Not when it came to Abby! They bonded almost instantly and became great walking buddies from day one. She takes him on various routes and mixes up the scenery. With the heat wave we've been having, she's used good judgement and prudence on how far the walks should go and always brings water and bowl for Sparky to hydrate. I always look forward to her notes and pics after each walk too. Overall experience: Top notch 100% Five Star Plus! You rock Abby!â

âEmily is awesome. Very helpful, flexible, friendly & trustworthy. I would recommend my friends and family to her. If youâre trying to decide on someone, I wouldnât have any negative concerns about her. Very thankful she provides the love and attention our dog deserves. I really value how she listens to my concerns & pays attention to whatâs important to me in taking care of my dog.â
About: Our family loves dogs! We love to play out back with them and take them on walks. They will get lots of exercise and love at our house! There is someone home throughout the day to take care of their needs. Our whole family helps to care for dogs. There is almost always someone at the house even during the week. That means lots of attention and love! We have a good sized yard with a 6 foot fenced. We have 4 kids from elementary school to college and they love playing with dogs too. We will take family walks in our beautiful neighborhood with all of our furry friends. We are home most of the day and spend a lot of time with your dog. This means we will have the time to go for a long walk. We treat all pets like we would treat our own. So they are like family. We give them plenty of love and play time outside.
âSamantha is great! She took a last minute booking to walk our dog. My husband was out of town and I work long hours, and it was so nice to come home to a content and exercised dog. Her taking care of our dog was great peace of mind knowing she wouldnât be home alone all day! âşď¸â

About: Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Iâve worked with playful puppies, shy rescues, and older dogs who need a slower, more gentle approach. Iâm especially patient and attentive, whether that means reinforcing basic training, sticking to a detailed routine, or just giving extra cuddles and reassurance. What makes me different is how much I truly treat every pet like family. I donât just âwatchâ pet, I bond with them. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy, and comfort so they feel secure and loved while youâre away. I am currently a graduate student doing all online classes, so my schedule can quite be flexible! I have reliable transportation as well. I only have hour long workouts that can be moved to whatever time preferred. I provide care exclusively in my clientâs home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, whether thatâs feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or specific preferences, so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. Safety is always a top priority. Iâm careful to secure doors and entry points to prevent escapes, keep the environment clean and hazard-free, and respect any household rules you have in place. I also pay close attention to your petâs behavior and well-being so I can quickly notice if anything seems off.
About: I grew up on a farm, so I took care of cats, dogs, and various other farm type animals like horses and cows quite frequently. I also have a cat and two dogs back home that I take care of whenever I go back home. Iâm currently waiting to hear back from multiple full time jobs, however this can take a while so at the moment I am usually free 24/7 for any pets who need taken care of! If I was to take a dog to my home, I have plenty of space for them to roam around inside as well as plenty of places outdoors to walk, or even go to the dog park if they enjoy going there. My apartment is perfect for a cat as well because there are plenty of windows for sunbathing and comfortable places to take naps, and for more active cats there is plenty of indoor space to play.
âRebecca was great, she showed up on time and happy to walk our dog even though it was snowing and raining! Our pup came back happy and all her energy spent, it was a quiet night. Will definitely be calling her again.â

âJanasha did a great job taking care of Hudson while we were out of town! She was very pleasant, dependable and communicative! She sent us pictures from their walks and little updates about how everything went! Will definitely book again!â

âWe were so happy to work with Morgan. She sent a great update and fun pictures. She even took the time to meet our pup before our walk date. We would definitely book with her again.â

About: Hi, I'm Amber! Iâve been pet sitting in the Columbus area for over 4 years, and nothing brings me more joy than giving pet parents total peace of mind while they're away. Iâm a huge animal lover and a proud cat mom to my sweet girl, Juni. Having a pet of my own, I completely understand the anxiety of leaving your fur babies behindâwhich is why I treat every pet in my care with the exact same love, pampering, and attention I give my own. What you can count on with me: - Your Pet's Custom Routine: I stick strictly to your established feeding times, walk schedules, medication routines, and favorite bedtime habits. - Daily Photos & Updates: Youâll get regular check-ins and photo updates so you never have to guess how your pets are doing. - A Clean, Secure Home: I treat your space with complete respect, leaving your home tidy, quiet, and secure for your return. - Tailored Care: Whether your dog needs energetic play in the yard or your cat just wants cozy lap cuddles, I match their energy and vibe. I am currently working full time, so I am able to dog sit in the event/on weekends. I am flexible and will make anytime work I have a cat that I keep indoors at all times. I will take care of your pet as if they were my own pet
About: Dogs are ALWAYS allowed on furniture. They will get tons of play time and if they are really active, they can go with me on some hikes! I work remotely so there will always be someone at home with them. Plenty of potty breaks and head scratches! Whatever they need, they will get! I work from home so someone will always be with them. There is a large park across the street that I will take them too if they need to get some energy out. They will be well taken care of!
About: I'm an animal lover who's grown up with multiple family members who owned dogs and have had my own German Shepherd for years since puppyhood! Well versed in caring for, walking, and enjoying company of pets. I'm a college student currently working part-time and studying for the LSAT, so I have a fairly flexible schedule that can work well for you! My approach would be to try to provide structure to the animals while following the rules and preferences of the clients. I've found my own dog is the happiest when provided efficient stimulation, so I would want to provide that for any pets I was sitting.
About: Welcome to my profile! My name is Emily. I am a wife, a pediatric nurse & newly a mom to a beautiful baby girl. I also have two silly cats named Greta & Beatrice. My life has always involved animals. I grew up with several cats & dogs in my home and love both of them! I am reliable, attentive, and treat every pet with the same care I would give my own.

Hope to hear from you soon & work closely with you and your fur baby! Iâm currently on maternity leave with my new baby girl!

I am able to be flexible with you & your pets routine! I am happy to come to your home to check in on your pets or walk your dog!
About: Growing up my family home felt like a mini nature preserve, surrounded by everything from birds, turtles, frogs, fish, guinea pigs, to cats, dogs, and chickens. That lifelong connection to nature and animals is what led me to pet sitting today. Iâm happy to bring that experience to my neighbors here in Central Clintonville. While I am currently building my professional footprint on Rover, I bring a highly detail-oriented approach to every visit. I am especially comfortable with cats and small dogs, as I understand the gentle handling and extra supervision they often require. You can count on me to follow your pet's specific routine with the same thoroughness and care Iâve given my own for years. I work from home 3 weeks a month, 9-5pm. To Central Clintonville residents, I can provide drop-in visits and walks outside those working hours and on my lunch break. Because I have two senior cats, who require a predictable, low-stress environment, I cannot provide boarding services at this time. I can, however, provide drop-in visits a couple times a day. I can provide drop-ins and walks.
About: I was raised on a farm and cared for all sorts of animals, and now iâm a vet teach assistant as well ! Iâm a dedicated pet owner myself and do very well with animals of all ages and breeds đžđ I currently work part time at a vet clinic 7a-5p T-F and would love to help care for your fur baby when iâm not in the clinic ! Your fur babies comfort is #1. Whether itâs playing, cuddles, a favorite show or blanket. If a baby needs their own safe environment and a crate is not already available I have options for the client to choose from as well as blankets, sometimes a safe space with an open door makes meeting new people far less scary!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Riverlea. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dogâs walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Riverlea.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justiceâs National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
