Top rated Scioto house sitters

“Rachel was amazing with our old pup! She let us know how he did during the day, when he ate, and anything to follow up on when we returned. She was thoughtful and adapted to his quirks. Our house was well taken care of and we felt all was safe and sound while gone. She is truly caring and understanding with senior dogs.”


“Curtis was great with my two cats and dog (Odie)! He was very polite and gave Odie all of the pets and belly rubs requested during the initial meet-and-greet. During the actual stay, he sent photos and videos of the cats being obsessed with him (no surprise!) and Odie loving his walks with him. He also left the house clean! 10 out of 10”


“Caitlin was a great sitter for our old timer who required extra attention. She is a very good communicator and did very well with our dog. I will definitely be reaching back out to her!”


“Marissa took great care of our three babies (🐶🐶🐶) and our home while we were away. Our place looked great when we got back, and our girls were well cared for. Marissa also communicated with us and let us know when she arrived, left, etc. We had an all around great experience and hope to work with Marissa again!”


“This is the first time I’ve used Allie and when I came home, my kitty was perfectly calm, content and happy. he didn’t even act like he missed me! My home was as I left it with mail and packages brought inside. I would have no problem hiring Allie again!”

“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!”


“Janel took care of our babies just like we would have! We received daily updates, pictures and videos! Definitely makes your heart feel good! Our babies just adore Janel and I would not hesitate to book with her anytime we need a reliable, honest and caring sitter.”


“My pitty was very comfortable with Maggie and her sweet dog Willow while dog sitting in my house for 4 nights. I received daily photos and updates of their fun walks and snuggle time on the couch. We will definitely be using Maggie again in the future! She is a dog lover through and through. Plus, the house was spotless upon my return.”


“I have written Ariel a review before but she deserves another one. Our dog cannot he left alone do to his separation anxiety training. Ariel has been helping us out a ton and being with him while we are not home. We had to go out of town for the night and leave our dog. Ariel was no doubt the first one I reached out to. She gives the best updates and pictures. I know when our dog is with her he gets plenty of exercise, sniffing, and love. There is a reason she has so many repeat clients!!”


“Erin was amazing with Poppy! This was my first time leaving Poppy for the weekend and Erin made me feel so comfortable and at ease. She sent me daily updates and would always reach out if she had any questions. We will definitely be using her again in the future 😊”


“Arianna was great with our two boys and was super helpful in setting up the house sitting appointment. She sent plenty of updates and pictures of our boys during the trip and kept everything under control around the house. Even our normally standoffish schnauzer warmed up to her by the end of her time! Would definitely recommend Arianna for your pet sitting or any other pet help needs.”


“This was the first time using Swathi let alone Rover. The overall experience was good. The videos and pictures Swathi sent made me feel that my dog, Lucy was very comfortable under her care.”


“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!!”


“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: My background includes working in veterinary medicine as well as pet sitting for most of my life. I did have a hiatus from Rover due to increased work demands but now I'm currently "retired" as a SAHM. I am comfortable caring for animals with special needs or medications, young or old. Since I'm currently a SAHM, my daily schedule simply consists of school drop-off/pick-up for my kids and an occasional grocery trip so I am very available for the pups I'm caring for. In our home, pets are allowed on furniture and get plenty of loving throughout the day from my kids. We do have a fully fenced backyard. For any care at your home, it's entirely up to you. Free run in the backyard, leashed walk around the neighborhood, crate, no crate. Just let me know! If booked for house sitting - I do *not* stay the night but will drop in 3 times throughout the day (morning, afternoon, evening).

“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!”
