Lynn did an excellent job looking after our dogs while we were on a 7-day cruise for our honeymoon. The dogs were well cared for and happy when we returned. We appreciated the regular updates and photos. We would definitely use Lynn's services again and recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.

Friendly and so kind to our fur babies, sending us lots of updates throughout our trip. Brenda was flexible with our unique home sitting situation this time too with some home construction being completed during her time and we couldn't be more thankful!

About: I've had my own dogs for my whole entire life. I know that dogs need their daily exercise, and attention to make sure they are satisfied. I have watched my families dogs for many years whenever they go on trips. I understand dogs needs and how much attention a dog may take. I currently have a free schedule. I am working on getting a part time summer job while I am home from college. As of right now I do not have one and I am availaible anytime. I can easily travel to homes to help take care of dogs or walk them. I understand how important it is for dogs to be let out fed and exercised. I will ensure dogs are safely let out to use the restroom and they are on a leash if they need to be walked to ensure the safety of the dog and others.

This was our 1st use of Rover.com and anyone other than family taking care of our fur baby. The moment we met Caitlin, we knew our 14+ yr old kitty needing medication and attention would be in good, loving hands. We had Caitlin house sit to ensure the comfort and well-being of our Sockie. We highly recommend Caitlin and will call on her again.

About: I've been an animal lover since I could walk, getting my first pet as a young child. Since then, my world has revolved around animals. As a self proclaimed "crazy cat lady" and "dog mom," I know the importance these bundles of fur bring to our lives. Most of my days revolve around the care of my own pets, including my indoor cats and dogs as well as the ferals/strays I care for in my neighborhood. I've cared for cats with diabetes, hyperthyroidism, aging pets, post-op animals, neonatal kittens and everything in between. I currently work full-time as a nurse but luckily, I have a remote job and get to work from home everyday! This means I spend all of my days surrounded by the comfort of my home AND my pets which makes me a great option in caring for their needs whenever they need me! Safety is my biggest priority as I know the dangers the outside world can pose on our special ones. At my home, all of my cats remain indoors and our backyard is fenced in for our dogs. I will honor any wishes my clients have within their home for the care of their pets and ensure safety and love are the top priorities your babies will receive under my care.

Courtney is wonderful! She had her hands full with Ruby a one year old Lab and Daisy a 16 year old chihuahua. We got daily updates of them playing and possibly not missing us as much as we missed them. Courtney was great and we can travel again knowing our fur babies will be spoiled with Courtney!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets—dogs, cats, and small animals. From daily walks and feedings to administering medications and providing comfort, I’ve built trust with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to learn their routine, understand their behavior, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you always feel connected. With school starting in August I will be available Thursday and any weekend. I will also be able to work with you during the weekday! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible—feeding them on schedule, giving plenty of love and attention, keeping their space clean, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I respect their environment and follow any specific instructions closely. While I don’t currently have a dog in my own home, that allows me to give your pet my full attention without distractions. My dog currently passed so we have an electric fence but that’s it! If your pet stays with me, they’ll have a clean, calm, pet-friendly space with lots of one-on-one care, playtime, and love. I’m all about making them feel at home—whether it’s their place or mine.

About: As a dedicated dog lover and proud owner of two golden retrievers, I understand that every dog is family. My experience caring for my own pups has given me firsthand knowledge of everything from puppy energy to the gentle needs of senior dogs. I provide patient, loving care tailored to each dog’s personality, age, and routine. Whether it’s keeping your energetic pup entertained or giving extra attention to older dogs, I treat every dog like my own—with love, consistency, and a whole lot of belly rubs. I’m a college student studying early education at the Ohio State. I have a pretty flexible schedule with my classes but would love to try to accommodate your pups needs. While I prefer daytime care, I can also accommodate overnight stays with advance notice. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I’m excited to give your dog the attention, playtime, and love they deserve! While I don’t offer in-home boarding, I’m happy to care for your dog in the comfort of your own home. I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, and I’ll treat your home and your dog with the utmost respect and care. My own dogs are protective, so I don’t offer playdates, but I’m more than happy to take your pup on walks, to the park, or to any favorite spots they enjoy. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities.
