“Emily did a great job taking care of Ivy on our first overnight trip since we got Ivy. Everything seemed to go smoothly, and Ivy seemed sad to see Emily leave. We have already booked her for our next trip away!!! Thanks, Emily!”
About: Reliable and disciplined Skilled Pet Care Backed by Two Decades of common sense and love. No cats , Canines are my specialty. Have a great day.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to stay with my 2 chihuahuas. My 16 year old started a new medicine a few days before I left her for 7 days. I was worried about her eating and getting her pill down since my dog recently became very smart about hiding pills in cheese, treats, etc. Katy made me feel so comfortable. She got my doggie to eat and always got her pill down, coming up with new ways to encourage her to eat. My other dog loved Katy.”
“Kiara was such an amazing pet sitter. She was very responsive, and took great care of my pup. She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures throughout her stay, which is always appreciated. My dog was in very high spirits when I returned home - it was clear that Kiara had treated her well and taken great care of her. We will definitely book Kiara again in the future!”
“Lacey is a caring wonderful person. We came back to two labs who were loved, watched over and spoiled as much as we spoil them. I cannot say enough positive things about this girl! If you are picky about who watches your pets and house sits. This is the girl you want she is excellent ! Thanks Rover for helping us find Lacey we will definitely ask for her again!”
“Kathy has been absolutely wonderful to work with! I have two dogs, a senior Vizsla and young Boston Terrier. I hired Kathy to pet sit for three days, several hours each day. Kathy went above and beyond to make my pets feel comfortable! She engaged with them, sent pictures throughout the day and let me know how they were doing. She also had great communication prior to the booking. I will definitely hire Kathy again.”
“My first time using Rover and Lenny did a great job taking care of my dog Rocco. It was so nice to be able to keep him at home in his element opposed to taking him to the kennel. Rocco seemed very happy and content when I returned from my vacation.”
About: A little bit about me- I grew up on a farm with lots of animals, during my older teen ages I fostered animals with my mom for our local humane society. I have volunteered on farms and even a fox sanctuary so I’m pretty confident with animals! I’m currently working part time so i have a lot of free time to watch or walk any kind of animal! Thursday through Sunday are the best days for me! I have a big yard and a great area to walk dogs. The house is pretty substantial so any animal will be able to run around!
“We have had more “meh” experiences in the past with house/dog sitters. It has made me really not want to travel because of the anxiety leaving them creates. Sydney’s stay and care she provided to our 4 furkids has renewed my faith in people. A few days before we left, she visited and I shown her around, she met our bunch. She was prompt getting to our home after we left. Her & I texted off & on over the course of the 4 days we were away. She sent photos & videos ❤️🐶❤️ And she was present with them the vast majority of the entire stay. We returned to a clean & tidy home and best of all - 4 happy , yet chill furkids. They were excited to see us but obviously received wonderful attention the entire time. I would highly recommend Sydney and I’m excited to get another getaway on our calendar soon ❤️”
“Lena is a gem! We couldn't ask for a kinder gentler soul to care for our pups in our home. She was very attentive with our elderly fur babies which left us at ease to leave home and enjoy our vacation. We've already booked a second trip with her! It's a wonderful feeling knowing you can entrust your pups (and home) to such a sweet person. 5 out of 5 stars? We'd give her 10 stars if we could!”
“Luna helped us out in a tight situation! We needed a pet sitter at the last minute and she pulled through for us. She was willing to come without meeting our pets before the weekend she came to sit. Luna was responsible and I felt our pets were safe with her. I would definitely ask her to come again.”
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.
“Lindsay is absolutely AMAZING! I have 2 dogs, one that is 16 and requires medicine and close monitoring for bathroom issues in the house. Unfortunately having an aging dog requires more attention, but Lindsay had no issues whatsoever in taking care of BOTH of our babies! And she did so as if they were her own. A HUGE THANK YOU and a 10 Star Approval/Recommendation.”
About: I have been taking care of animals for years. I have 25 pets of my own and love every animal. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently work part time and am off on weekends which gives me some flexibility. I am also available at night and in the evenings! When I am watching your pets at your home I follow the schedule that I’m given. I’ll include walks as well. When they’re at my house I have crates and a large back yard.
About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life. I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors pets in the past while they’ve been out of town. Taking care of pets is something that I enjoy doing. I currently work full time and am looking for extra work mostly on the weekends but occasionally weekdays. Weekends I’m available at all times and weekdays I’m available mostly in the evenings. Wherever I’m providing care for pets, I make sure that they are in safe environments. Cleanliness is very important. I follow directions that I receive from the owners of the pets that I’m watching and give their pets attention.
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.
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.
