Vanessa kept her word and showed up on the days contracted for allowing me to go out of town on a business trip. Both my mother and my dog (Coco) were pleased with her. I hope she is available again in the future.

Wow! I'm so happy Gunner was in Jennifer's care. I'm very new to Rover and our pup has only ever been in the care of family. We unexpectedly had to be out of town for the day so I scoured the Rover reviews and reached out to Jennifer the day before. She replied right away & accepted the job. She communicated her arrival at our home, how Gunner did on his walks, his eating, drinking, and behavior with a new person. I'm so happy I chose her & she accepted. I will call on her again for sure & highly recommend.

About: I grew up with a family dog and was always involved in feeding and walks. As an adult I've watched and checked on dogs for several family members and friends. I am available for feedings and walks and happy to work on any training or commands with your pets! I have experience with all dog sizes. This is currently my full-time job so I have a wide range of availability! I will also be in Columbus for most of the summer so I'm happy to help during any summer vacation plans! I am very respectful of any house rules while dog sitting. I have watched dogs that cannot be alone in yards or need to be crated while alone or during the night. I will do everything I need to make sure the dog is comfortable while I watch them and to respect your home.

About: i’ve had dogs and cats my whole life growing up. Assisted at numerous animal shelters. I’ve had my own dog for three years. She’s very well taken care of. I’ve watched numerous friends and families animals throughout my childhood and adulthood. I’m very competent and confident in my skills with animal caretaking. currently, I’m in the transition of graduate school to my first role as a physician assistant. I have a lot of flexibility in upcoming months to take care of animals and this is something I would like to do not only for my own enjoyment, but for a side income. I’m available pretty much anytime throughout the week, I just need a heads up. I am willing to care for your pets however you see and feel as needed. My personal dog is crate trained and potty trained. She spends most of her day outside of the crate. She’s very well trained both on and off leash. I am happy to accommodate, however you need for your animals.

About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and spent nearly 25 years living with and caring for them. I’m the go-to sitter for my friends, regularly watching their dogs for days or even weeks at a time. From tiny Yorkie and Basenji puppies to medium Cockapoos and extra-large rescues, I’ve walked, trained, and cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I tailor every walk to your pup, whether they prefer a slow stroll with plenty of breaks or a steady jog (I recently ran the Big Ten 10K representing my alma mater, Ohio State). Outside of dog walking, I’ve spent over a decade working in the energy field and recently took an intentional career break after a meaningful year helping rebuild Puerto Rico’s electric grid. You can count on me for reliable, loving care every time. I’m currently taking an intentional career break, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I’m happy to support one-time walks, last-minute requests, or ongoing, routine care - whatever works best for you and your pup. I care for pets as if they were my own, with attention to their unique routines, personalities, and needs. Before any booking, I like to do a quick check-in to align on expectations, learn about your pet’s habits, preferences, and any special care instructions. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by following their established schedule, maintaining their space, and keeping things clean and consistent. Whether it’s walks, feedings, playtime, or medications, I provide calm, attentive care and clear communication every step of the way.

About: I’ve have had a family cats and dogs my whole life that I have fed, walked, played with, and loved. Also, I have pet sat for multiple friends and family who have relied on me to do the same for their pets. I am familiar with Rover as I have been working for the app for over 3 years and have now dog and cat sit numerous times. I work a 8am-5pm job but have the flexibility to offer services early morning, midday, evening times and weekends. Will schedule around work to make sure I take care of your pets in a timely manner. I would care for your pets just like I would care for my own. No matter the living situation of a client, I will always prioritize the pets safety, health, and happiness.

About: I grew up with English mastiffs as a child. In college I helped raise two crazy husky puppies and watched them grow up! After college I rescued a pitty mix as a puppy who had some issues. I have gone through training courses with her and she has grown up into a sweetheart. I am currently unemployed so very flexible to walk and take care of pets! I am out of town some weekends but that is not on consistent schedule currently. I will treat your home as it is my own, and leave it how I found it. I am a massive animal lover that can barely kill a fly! Your pets will be pet and loved while you are away.

About: I have raised a service dog through Pilot Dogs, trained puppies and adult dogs, and I am actively working with reactive dog. I am not a trainer as these are all animals I have owned/sheltered, but I am more than willing to help with an already set training plan. It fits perfectly into my routine as I go on morning and evening walks. My schedule is currently extremely flexible and I would love for your pet to be apart of it! I do not plan on housing anyone’s pet as my home is not suitable. For my clients houses’ I follow any given procedure and do not overstep boundaries.

Kelly has been watching my dog and cat for me when I go out of town for the past 8 years. She is reliable, trustworthy, caring, loving, and dependable. She loves animals and takes great care of them. My dog is very picky about who she likes and feels comfortable with, and she LOVES Kelly! My cat enjoys cuddling up with Kelly as she spends quality time with my cat and dog every time she watches them. You can be sure your pets are in good hands and getting the absolute best care with Kelly taking care of them!

I think Kelly is a great option for your pet sitting needs. As her brother I know she is great with pets. We have always grown up with pets around the house and she does a great job taking care of them and loving them. I also know she is not new to petting sitting and has helped out many neighbors and friends. She is a very responsible and independent person that I would rely on if I needed help with pet sitting.

Owen is a lover of all animals. He has the kindest heart and can't even kill a fly. He traps them and places them outside again. He grew up caring for various animals, including cats, mastiff dogs, and rescues. He now has two dogs and a cat that he cares for and loves deeply. He prioritizes not just their basic necessities, but goes above and beyond to make sure each animal feels safe and loved.

Jena is extremely professional and caring. My dog has psychiatric needs and has to be walked with a muzzle at all times. She has been walking him for 2 months with no issues. The little guy is always pooped out when I get home so I can tell he is loving these walks; he rushes to the door to greet her when she arrives. Highly recommend for anyone with fur babies with special needs or otherwise!
