“Amazing care to our fur babies! They love her and she takes the best photos of our babies through the visits which makes us always feel more at ease and can enjoy our trips.”


“She was amazing! Ivy can be a little bratty, but Emma was awesome and got her to warm up quickly! Will definitely rebook with her!!! Always prompt, kind, and caring!!!”


“Amanda is ALWAYS SOO reliable. She takes great care of my skittish dog and makes sure all the cats are taken care of, and my crazy cat doesn’t get out. She really goes above and beyond. Always know my babies will be taken care of when I’m out of town because of her. Thanks again! 🐾💖”


“Megan did two drop in visits for me and my pooch. She made sure she got fed, as well as got out to pee/poop. She respected my apartment and left it just as it was! 10/10 would recommend!”


“We have always used someone we knew to watch our dogs but didn’t have that option on our last trip and therefore looked on rover for someone to watch our two dogs. Joy did a meet and greet with use a week before our trip and we fell in love with her! Our fears of hiring someone we didn’t know instantly went away and we just knew she was the right fit for our family. Then she actually watched our dogs and she blew our expectations out of the water! Such attention to detail! Our puppy can be a little much and she handled it like a pro! From always being on time, to a walk every day to cleaning up messes, picking up dog poop in the back yard and fixing a pillow that got ripped up. She definitely went above and beyond what we expected and you better believe we will tell everyone with pets in the area to hire Joy! Thanks Joy for treating our babies like your own!”


“We booked Leesa last minute to check in on our dogs so that we could go away for an overnight trip. We haven’t used a sitter outside of our family in a long time, but we’re happy to say that our boys have a new friend! We will definitely be booking Leesa for future trips!”


“Bradley was amazing to work with. He kept our three kitties company throughout the week while we were away. Each picture he sent I could tell the kitties were enjoying him being there.”


“Britany was an amazing pet sitter. She came to our home twice a day for over a week. We have three kittens all under 1 year so there were some special instructions about feeding and keeping them apart at times. Britany went above and beyond to make sure all our cats had the care and attention they needed while we were gone. She gave detailed updates as well as included numerous photos after each scheduled visit. Once you meet her you know she has the biggest heart! We need to go out of town soon and plan to book Britany again!”


“Jenny is amazing! 1,000% reliable. Super responsive and caring with our fur babies. I could vacation with ease knowing our pets would be well taken care of. Book her now! You won’t regret it.”


About: I have cared for many dogs over the last 15 years. I am able to care for puppies to senior dogs and have experience giving medications, if needed. I am home all day and looking to fill the void of missing my pup who passed recently. I am able to care for your dog hands-on and will give lots of love and interaction. I have a completely fenced yard that your dog will have unlimited access to. I also provide at least one long walk every day, if your pup likes to get out and enjoy nature.

“Abby is one of a kind! Our usual sitter was unavailable due to the holiday and we had to find someone last minute (I may have procrastinated a bit). Abby was more than willing to do so and was amazing at it! On time, great care of all pets and even filled out humidifier when it was running low! We will definitely recommend and be using Abby again!”


“Thank u for hanging out with them! And it looks like my long time regular tuxedo stray is back! So relieved to know he is alive after the winter storms! Do u mind filing up the metal food bowl in kitchen on floor near sink and fill up kibble from the boys container to go with the "smoothie" drink? And what is your venmo?”


“Brooke did a wonderful job with my pup. She gave me lots of feedback/updates and sent lots of pictures. Will definitely be using her again in the future!”


About: Hello there! My name is Abby and I am a 27 year old exotic animal keeper, as well as cats and dogs. I have several different species ranging from large snakes to chameleons. I have been caring for exotic species for the last five years. I also care for dogs and cats. I’ve had 20 years of dog and cat care experience. I got my first dog, Sophie, when I was just five years old. Throughout the years, I cared for her and many other dogs and cats growing up. Right now, I have four of my own dogs and fourteen cats who are extremely spoiled! When watching your pet, expect them to be spoiled and loved just like they’re my own. I have experience with giving medication to both cats and dogs. I also had a senior cat that required special care and know how to provide care for any senior animal. I can care for your exotic animals in my house, as I have a separate room for my own exotics. Dogs and cats that stay with me will have their own room and set up as well. I also can provide drop in visits for your furry friends. For cats, I provide toys, cat trees, cat beds, and a hammock. I ask that you bring their food, bowls, litter, and litter boxes and any other special items they may need. Same goes for any dogs :) I have worked as a foster for shelters in Columbus for three years as well, so I am used to providing 24/7 care for other animals. I work from home full time, so I am able to have a very flexible schedule. If you need your animal cared for in my home, I am able to provide that service. I get off of work in the early evening, which gives me plenty of time to do drop in visits after work. My yard is fenced in, which is great for your doggie kiddos. I also do not let my cats outdoors, so any cat staying with me will be safe in the home. I have a dedicated room in our home where I house all of my rover guests away from our pets. Small dogs are okay to be boarded in my home, as well as any cats as long as they are litter box trained.

About: My name is Anna, and I'm an avid animal lover. I grew up with pets my entire childhood, and I now have my own cats and a dog! I've walked, fed, and done daily pet check-ins for neighbors and friends. I have worked with many different dogs, cats, and fish. I work a 9 - 5 on weekdays, so I can check on or walk your pet in the mornings or evenings. I’m pretty flexible on weekends! I make pet care my #1 priority! I'm used to waking up early, cleaning up vomit, and the occasional scratch or bite. I also love spoiling all pets with special treats, enrichment games, and lots of play-time. I only want the best for you and your pet. My line of communication is always open. I'll care for your pet like my own.

About: Since childhood, I’ve had a love for anll animals. I’m a fun-loving pet sitter who will go above and beyond for your pup like no one else. I’m a fun-loving pet sitter who will go above and beyond for you animals like no one else. I keep pet parents updated with cute pics, walks, and happy tails while you’re away! I’m currently not working so I have plenty of time for walks and play time. I’m very flexible so if there’s something changed you need, let me know and we can work it out. I have a big fenced backyard where they can play with my dog, Benzie. If crate needed, I can easily do that. However, I prefer not to if they do not need it especially if I am home.

About: Had taken care of my own dog for 15 years. I Started Pet Sitting to fill the void of the loss of my own dog❤️🩹 I’m currently in school full time but not working, so I will be able to give your pet plenty of love and will make time to provide excellent care. I have cared for many dogs over the years. I have experience giving medications and taking care of dogs with special needs. I will provide excellent love and care for your pets!

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including energetic puppies and older pets that need extra attention. I’m comfortable with administering medication, following specific routines, and making sure each pet feels safe and loved while their owner is away. I have a full time job, but want to do a little more by doing something that I enjoy doing. That is being around animals. I have a back yard with a fence and security for your pet. That way they will be able to exercise and explore under the sun.

About: I'm willing to be flexible and work with you as much as I can. I understand that your fur babies are family members, and will treat them just like children. They are welcome in (and on) every part of my home, just like my own are. When your pet is in my care, I may also offer behavior training. Dog training is my passion, and I have trained two of my own service dogs. I have also studied dog behaviorism, and know how to recognize many important body-language cues that pups use to communicate with us. I believe that proper training is key to a cohesive relationship with any animal. I believe that each pet is incredibly valuable in their own way, and deserves to be treated with respect.
