“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.”


About: I have many years of experience house sitting for clients whose pets required daily care and attention. Spending time with animals for exercise and play time is something that brings me so much joy! I’m always willing to accommodate special requests and aid with training. And if you need someone to be a buddy to your senior pet, giving them the quality time they deserve, I’m your girl. I’m currently an unemployed software developer, taking some much needed time off, so I’m available most days and hours! I’m extremely flexible and understanding to situations of life. I love getting out of the house and taking walks to keep my mind and body going! With my experience of house sitting I am always respectful of my surroundings, doing my best to leave the places better than I found them. Making sure your pet feels comfortable and like nothing has changed when I am caring for them is extremely important to me! I do my best to mimic a clients traditional care strategies so the animals involved experience as little stress as possible!

“Amelia is great! She seems to really have a love for animals. It was too hot one day to walk my dog so instead of just cutting the walk short and leaving she hung out with her in my home a bit because I told her she has separation anxiety so I thought that was so nice of her. She even agreed to meet before her first booking which made me feel more comfortable too! Love her as my dogs walker!”


“Lacey was great with Varney, taking him out as far as he needed to go to do his business. She also let him sniff and chew sticks which is part of his routine.”


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.

“Is your pet looking for a responsible, fun, and adventurous sitter? Kelly is the person for you. Kelly has been such a great friend to my two dogs and understands their unique quirks!

Trustworthy, communicative, and very loving, Kelly is the perfect person to rely on while you are away.”

Dog Walking FAQs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.
Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Southwest.
You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:
- Start and stop times
- A map of their walk with total distance
- Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
- Cute photos and a personalized note
Yes! Dog walkers joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services. You can also easily keep in touch with your dog walker through messages on Rover for delightful photo updates. The Rover team is available 24/7, and your dog walker has access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals. In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.
Note: If your dog walker requested to cancel this booking, then they need to cancel from their account. Please contact them via Rover Messages.
We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
