This was our first time using Rover and Emily was great. I set up the stay about 2 months out because I wasn't sure how the Thanksgiving would effect finding a place for Lucy. Emily was super and answered so many questions for me. Lucy also had a great time playing with Emily's other dogs.

About: I started fostering dogs back during COVID to help them find a their furever family, and now I want to help dog families, like my own, continue the getting care they need to where they feel safe when their owners are away. :) I am constantly taking care of my dog son Kobe, who I also fostered through the system way back when. He, as well as fostering other dogs, has given the experience I need to take care of your family too. I am familiar with dogs with anxiety, dogs with allergies, dogs that need medication and/or a little extra attention. Everyone needs love no matter what type of care, and I believe I can be like your friendly neighbor giving your furever family the care they need along with the safety and comfortability like a neighbor or friend. :) I have a fenced yard for your pet to run around, and also extra room space in case they need time to themselves. I can also take your dog on walks at a nearby park/rec center to get their extra energy out when needed.

Baile is an incredibly dedicated dog owner whose love for animals extends far beyond her own home. She regularly goes out of her way to assist her elderly neighbor with their dog, showing the same care and attentiveness as if the pet were her own. Baile has also cared for my dog many times, and I’ve always been impressed by her reliability, compassion, and genuine connection with every animal she meets. She treats every pet with the same affection and responsibility she gives her own, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a loving and trustworthy caregiver.

For approved off-leash play, sitters may take pups to dog parks, such as Scioto Audubon Dog Park or Wheeler Memorial Dog Park. Have a dog who likes to join in on errands? Choose a sitter who lives close to dog-friendly locations like BrewDog Franklinton or Seventh Son Brewing in Italian Village.
Need more routine stability? We recommend house sitting as a service for dogs who are sensitive to change. House sitting in Columbus, OH averages $45 per night.
