“Chelsey is very prompt and does an excellent job. She did a great job looking after my kitten. He enjoyed his play time with her and she ensured he was well cared for. Would highly recommend and will be user her again!”
“Ashlyn was the best sitter we have ever had! She was sweet, kind, caring, and above all our cat absolutely adores her! Our cat has a skin condition and over the years we have came to terms with her skin condition getting worse when we would gone on vacation due to her anxiety. But due to our surprise she was actually better than when we left! Ashlyn sent over videos and photos letting us know how she was doing and got back to me way faster than expected. I will never use anyone else! Thank you Ashlyn for your hard-work and dedication to the happiness and well-being of our cat.”
About: I'm a dog trainer, AKC evaluator, and Red Cross‑certified in dog & cat first aid. With over two years at a pet store and experience as a professional bather, I know animals inside and out. Drop-in visits include a 30–45 min walk or play session, a quick training tip, and of course all the love I have to give. I specialize in puppies (potty training), reactive dogs, and teaching positive reinforcement. Your pup will get skilled, safe, and high quality care—just like family. I work as a dog trainer and make my own schedule, so everything is very flexible. I typically don’t work Sundays and teach group classes Wednesday evenings and Saturdays between 10-2pm. Other than that and the sporadic private lessons, my schedule is pretty open. Because I’m a dog trainer I know all the ins and outs of dog behavior and how to act accordingly. My broad knowledge from working at a pet store also gives me insight on things like diet, proper living conditions, care, and administering medication. I’m also cat and dog first aid certified through the American Red Cross.
About: I've had dogs growing up, five of them being German shepherds and the other four being a lab and two mutts and a dachshund. We currently have two German shepherds and I walk them a ton and I spend a lot of time taking care of them, and then we have a dachshund who I just rescued from the place I work at. The place I work does dog boarding/daycare/training. I am a kennel tech so I just take care of all the boarding and daycare doggies. And on the weekends I also take care of all the training dogs when/if the trainers are away. I have worked there for a year and absolutely love it. I have had to deal with so many different dogs and their personalities and I've definitely learned to have a ton of patience with the job. I have been working in general since I was 14. I started at some neighbouring farms, doing farm work so I could ride their horses and earn some money. I then did a couple restaurant jobs and then found the place I currently work at. I have done dog sitting and cat sitting before many times, sometimes for family or friends of family who I don't know but I am happy to help out. The most I have dealt with at one time was seven dogs in total. I have watched people's dogs get trained while at work and I have been trained to use an e-collar and a prong collar so I am able to use those correctly! I really love my job, it means a lot to me I get to be in that environment and I'm depended on to keep them all safe and happy. I have early classes most days of the week, 3 days out of the week they start at 8 and end at 12, then the other two days start at 8 and end at two. I work weekends at my job but I call off whenever needed so I can dog sit At home I spend time walking the dogs mostly and hanging around the house with them. Every client I feel is different in how things are done at their home, so however you take care of your pets I'll follow
About: My family always owned pets and I'm the only person that my old roommate trusts to dogsit for them. I love the company of pets. I work fully remote from anywhere with cellular coverage or WiFi and only have rare times when I absolutely have to be in meetings so I have a lot of flexibility to make time for other things. If it's okay with you, I would like to let your pet free to roam around your house just as if you were home. I love petting them and having chats while I'm working. I always set reminders for the meal times and potty breaks you request to make sure they are pampered as much as you want. No sharing of human food, only their approved diest and treats.
“Lacey is just awesome. She's super conscientious and even brought in our trash cans. After a long week away, we returned home to a very happy kitty and the house and property were in tip top shape.”
“I don’t leave reviews but Kayla went way above and beyond for me dealing with my dog getting sick and cleaning it and handling my injured dogs bandages coming off and reapplying them for me! I couldn’t give more praise to her and wouldn’t recommend anyone else if you want the best care for you’re pet!”
About: I grew up on a dairy farm and I've been around animals since I was a child. I have always had pets and currently own a Golden retriever (Milo) and two spoiled kitty cats (Klaus and Lyra). I was a vet assistant for a few years and have lots of experience taking care of others' animals. Let me care for yours ❤️. I understand all of their quirks and have no problem with special requests 😊 I'm a school counselor off for summer vacation so currently I have a lot of availability during the week. Let me come check on your pets during the day or if you need me to walk the dog (morning, day, or evening.. We have sheep And I grew up with cattle so I can also care for livestock while you are away. Think of me if you're going to be out of town I'll come and check on the house and your pets whatever you need. When I was in college I sometimes did house sit for people so I also have experience doing that if you need me to stay in your home a few nights or just come and check while you are away. Let me know what you need for your for babies.. I don't have a fenced in yard our dog has the halo collar, So if your pet needs a playdate I would be happy to bring him along. Or if you need a place for your dog to come and run and have a Halo caller we could set that up at my place.. Just let me know what your needs are and we'll work it out!😊
“Katy did a fantastic job! Our cats were in well taken care of. This was the first time we used Rover and Katy's services. We were very impressed.”
“Emily was wonderful and took good care of my kitties. She went above and beyond when one of my cats threw up on my comforter. I told her to just place it in the washing machine and that I'd wash it when I returned. Out of habit she washed and dried it, which was nice to come home to.”
About: I've taken care of many different animals for as long as I can remember, including 2 dogs that I owned for 12+ years, a real dogs best friend, I can take care of yours just as well, or better! I currently have a full-time job, 1 week I'm available 4 days, the next, I'm available 3, any of those days, I'm more than happy to help! I have a nice yard and nice size house with a beautiful Golden retriever that loves everyone and everything, she will keep your dog entertained!
“Thank you so much for taking care of Baymax, even with his unpredictable demeanor. You did amazing and I was so happy it all worked out.”
“Wow! Came home to a happy cat and spotless home. I highly recommend Lenny.”
About: I treat every animal as if it were my own pet- with lots of love, care, and compassion. I’ve watched many many animals over the past couple years and have loved every second of it. I am currently only doing Instacart as my job so I am very flexible with the hours I’m able to do. I am able to come any time of day. I treat every animal as if it were my own. Lots of love and care go into every animal I watch/take care of. I try to make it so the animals aren’t focused on missing the owner as much.
About: I have always had a dog or dogs since I was born! I started learning how to take care of dogs at the age of two. I have house sat for many lovely dogs, included walks /runs, over nights and drop ins. I will treat your dog like it’s my own. I have a full time job working 12:00-8:30 Monday-Friday (it’s a little more flexible right now because I am in training. I am free on weekends! I will follow the rules that are left for the care of your dog/dogs because all dogs are different and they love their routines! I will make sure they have the least disruption as possible to their normal life.
“The Fuzzie pets enjoyed their time with Autumn. I am glad for her assistance in taking care of the pets during this week. Autumn was very helpful and I appreciated her pictures of the pets during her visits. No Issues and I will be using her again... THANK YOU AUTUMN”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young child and have always babysit fur babies for all my friends and family while they are out of town. I love animals and will take great care of your pets! I currently work as an 8th grade special education teacher, with typical school hours and am free to take care of your pets everyday during the summer. I have a large yard for your fur babies to play. I have one dog of my own to keep your fur baby company and can easily crate your pet if needed.
About: Animal lover! I was raised with dogs and cats, having them my entire life. I've been pet sitting the for years before companies like Rover even existed! I have been a vegan for 11 years consuming no animal products. Neither do I use or wear anything made from animal products. I consider any animal whether it be a dog, cat or some other type of animal to be a member of the family and should be loved and respected like any other member. Whether your dog/cat wants to walk, play or run, I can be there for him (or her). I can be available for emergency situations if needed. Usually any time any day. As far as I'm concerned it's a dog's/cat's world so we operate on their time! I personally have one cat at the moment. However, I do walk elderly neighbor's dogs for them if needed. I carry dog and cat food in my car in case I see strays and have been known to stop traffic to catch a stray kitten. I I am in the process of starting a non profit cat rescue, from my home. Love and time are not factors when it comes to taking care of animals! I do not allow my cats to roam free. I put them on a nice long lead when they want to go outside and I sit with them. It is the same with dogs.
“Stormi is amazing!!! We had her watch our fur babies and she sent pictures and cleaned the litter boxes while we were away. Very professional and just a great person ?”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I have a certification in Veterinary Assisting and am experienced in administering medications. Whatever your pets require (food, walks, play), I’ll be happy to provide! Experienced with pets of all ages and will send you pictures and videos of your pets if you’d like. I am currently a student at Muskingum University. As such, I will only be available to stay overnight on weekends, but I can work around my schedule to feed and check in on pets on weekdays. I live on campus at Muskingum University, which means I’ll be unable to care for pets in my own home. My care in your home depends on what you require for your pet. Whether you want me to check in on them briefly or spend some hours keeping them company, I will follow your orders. If possible, I like to meet with you and your pet before I start watching them so that we can go over any instructions and they can feel more comfortable around me. Depending on their personality and sociability, I am equally happy playing with them or giving them space and reading while I’m keeping them company.

Lisa K.
“I have known Lisa for 2 years and she is a wonderful dog trainer! She loves dogs and all pets and will do an awesome job for you taking care of your pets! She has helped us so much with our dogs, with training them and helping take of them. She is very patient and kind and truly cares about each pet that she meets. She is a very warm and caring person and my dogs can sense that! She can be firm with them if they need it (like my crazy Labradoodle) but gentle and persistent also (with my Sheltie that likes to bark and takes awhile to warm up). I highly recommend you entrust your pets care to her!”

Trudy T.
“I have known Trudy since college days, for over 20 years. She worked as a vet assistant while in college and has always had a love of animals. We even had a cat at our apartment while in college! We've taken our dogs with us camping! She took in her dog, Milo as a re-home and was able to get him off ALL of his prescription anxiety meds because what he needed was daily vigorous excersise and extra love and care and understanding. She has cats and sheep as well. As a school counselor she uses her patience and empathy skills to really get to know your pet and listen to what you, the owner needs. Trudy really has a special talent for caring for animals and I highly recommend her, you won't be disappointed with the level of quality and attention to detail.”

Suzi P.
“Suzi is an avid animal lover and the animals simply love her back!! Suzi has been a dog and cat sitter for us countless times. We have had two dogs and four cats to date, a few of them with special needs and we never ever had to worry about any of them while they were in Suzi's care. We have been 100% comfortable with Suzi watching our pets and our home over the years. Knowing our pets were in her care gave us tremendous peace while we were away. Suzi loves all pets as if they were her own. Suzi also has experience working at a Veterinarians' office and has remained a vegan out of her love, respect, and devotion for all animals. Suzi is an excellent choice as a pet sitter!!”

He will respect the way you treat your dog and treat them with love and care. He will send you updates and pictures so you know they are ok. If your dogs do anything on they normally do not do, he will notify you to make sure they are ok. We also have a blind dog and Trey is very sweet and caring with her! She loves him! We feel very at ease knowing our dogs are in such good care when Trey watches them.”
