About: I feel that my love of animals is perhaps the most important qualification that I have as a pet sitter. I enjoy spending time with the animals[1] I also feel that my experience as a Veterinarian Receptionist and Tech has provided me with skills and knowledge in the care of the animals. I understand how animals act if they are sick and I know a few things to do as well as getting in touch with the proper Vet. Animals give me a sense of calm and they help me as well as me taking care of them. I enjoy playing with them and teaching them skills I find it important to know what type of food the animal eats, what time of the day are they fed I enjoy taking them for walks if that is a habit that they are in……. I listen to the owner on any certain discipline methods for the pet that they will expect you to follow, like acknowledging good behavior with a special treat. I talk with the owner about the pet’s likes and dislikes. These details that are important for getting along with animal and owner[12] I Ask questions.of the pet owners. How old is the pet? What is their medical history? Do they do well with children? Other animals? How often should the dog be taken out? How often should a cat's litter box be changed? These are questions I try to address before the pet sitting job begins.[11] I try to schedule a practice visit. This way, the pet is familiar with me beforehand and finding our information about the pet that's never come up in casual conversation that I need to know The owner will also want to make sure the pet is comfortable with me. I also am very qualified to give your pet any medications they might need. Pets who are on medications usually need to stick to a regular schedule and dosage. I will follow the owner’s instructions on how to give the pet their medication. The pet is likely nervous without their owner present so show them affection and attention on a daily basis. [20] I try to always have a positive attitude towards your pets and have some fun!

1. Lauren C.Star Sitter
“Lauren took great care of Zuri! She has a great space for dogs, handled medications/other needs well, was flexible with a last-minute booking, and sent frequent updates and pictures. We will definitely be back in the future!”
2. Maolin L.Star Sitter
“Maolin was a great caretaker for Nash. We were away on vacation for 10 days and she sent daily photos and videos as well as took Nash to the local dog park to play around. She really seemed to care a great deal for Nash as like she was her own. Would definitely use again and refer her to others!”
3. Dawn M.Star Sitter
“Enjoyable stay every time! My pom always come home calm and relaxed. Dawn is super friendly and professional. She goes the extra miles to make my time away worries free. Highly recommend!”
4. Ellen F.Star Sitter
“This was our first time using Rover. We selected Ellen because she had many positive reviews as well as multiple returning clients. We made the right choice selecting Ellen to watch our fur babies. She is extremely accommodating and understanding. Our 2 pups have a number of quirks, but Ellen worked with them and gave them a home away from home. She sent multiple pictures a day and some videos, along with an update of the daily activities. We will absolutely be using Ellen if we go away and need a sitter. I cannot speak any higher of Ellen. Highly recommend! Thanks again Ellen for putting our minds at ease.”
5. Mary M.
“Mary was amazing. My dog Thyon is a sweet but skittish boy. Since making a big move from the country to the city, he has suffered from anxiety which he needed to be medicated for. I tried traditional boarding facilities however they were not a good fit. There were too many loud noises and he always came home stressed and nervous. Mary provided a wonderful environment. Not only was he able to quickly adapt and feel comfortable, but he seemed to thrived there. He was running in the yard with her dog Elle. Which he has not done since we moved months ago. I have finally found a place where I am comfortable to leave my boy and know he’s being well cared for. Thanks Mary!”
6. Alexandria V.Star Sitter
“Alex was the first host I used on Rover. I was a bit worried about using this app, but Alex made my first experience amazing! She is so friendly and truly has a heart for animals. I have already booked with her a few times since and my doggo loves to stay with her. She is very flexible and has even dropped my dog back off to me. I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you Alex for taking such good care of Amani!”
7. Summer R.

Star Sitter

“Mia had a great time and came home a happy pup! Olivia made sure to send updates and pictures regularly. Would most definitely book again. Thank you Olivia!! :)”
11. Amber S.Star Sitter
“Amber was a rockstar. We are always nervous to leave our senior chiweenie with anyone new because he is very skiddish. He opened up to Amber, and her family was patient as he took more time to become comfy around them. She took him on nice walks and followed the scheduled to a tee. We appreciate the constant communication and honesty Amber provided about Franklin during his stay. We will 100% book Amber again to care for our buddy.”

“For the first time ever, I had to leave my dog son for more than a day and I was definitely very uncertain on this whole you know . I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch over my best friend and care for him like they did. Had me at ease while I was gone the whole time if you’re looking for the same reassurance, I was looking no further!”
15. Katie S.Star Sitter
“Katie is amazing! We were able to take our first trip away from Presley since we moved to Columbus and know that Presley was in good hands at Katie’s house. Loved the pictures she sent and all the updates. Presley got along great with her doggos. Will definitely be booking with her again.”
16. Andrew M.

Diesel was safe and happy with Andrew’s adorable dogs and kids. We could enjoy our vacation completely knowing our pup was in great hands!”
17. Paige C.
“Paige was incredible! She was so responsive sent several pictures of Bailey while we were gone and when we went to pick her up she had all of her stuff packed up and ready to go - she had even broken down her crate so we could just put it in the car.
