“Andrew has been amazing during their drop in visits with my dog, Stryker. Each visit has been on time, and he makes sure Stryker has everything he needs, fresh water, potty time, playtime, and lots of petting. I appreciate the photos and messages I get after the visits. I highly recommend Andrew for your pet sitting needs.”
“Samantha did a great job checking in on our cat, Louie. On a previous vacation, he came to a cat with a UTI because the person we hired (not through Rover.com) did not clean his box properly. Samantha kept us up to date on how Louie was doing and kept his boxes clean. We came home from vacation to a happy and healthy cat. I will definitely use Samantha again!”
“Chloe was outstanding and very sweet. The pictures from each visit were nice to see our two boys (dogs) warm up to her and likely get excited for her visits. Strong communication and frequent updates helped us relax on vacation knowing they were being taken care of. Highest possible recommendation! Thank you Chloe!!”
About: I’ve had animals in my life from the beginning. Right now I have 2 dogs, a cat, 2 Guinea pigs, and a fish :) I love caring for them and want to get back into walking, so this is perfect! I stay overnight to dog sit, so I have tons of experience! I’m a college student working part-time, so i would like to spend as much time as possible with your pets! As long as you let me know what’s up, I’d be happy to be of service :) I have a fenced in yard on a not-busy street, so the dogs can play (and even bark) freely as they please. I just want them to have fun!
About: I am very good with reactive dogs, having had one myself. I have read up on animal first aid and training. Also having trained 3 dogs. Dogs are my life and I would do literally anything for them! I currently have both weekends and weekdays free. And available anytime, minus some doctors appointments! Looking for a new job currently so until then that won’t change! In my own home I have 2 dogs and a large fenced in yard. In your home, I will follow whatever rules you leave me!
About: Hi, I’m Brittany! With experience as a veterinary assistant, I bring skilled, loving care to every visit. I’m comfortable with senior pets, giving meds, and helping with basic puppy training. I’m also great with anxious animals and multi-pet homes. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, calm, and cared for—just like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! As someone with a flexible schedule and a background in veterinary care, I make time every day to check in on pets, give them the attention they deserve, and stick to their routines. Whether it’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I’m happy to work around what’s best for your pet. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I follow your pet’s routine closely, keep their environment clean and stress-free, and always ensure doors, gates, and feeding instructions are double-checked. With my veterinary background, I’m also trained to notice subtle health or behavior changes. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities—and I always leave your home just as I found it.
“Thelma is a nervous dog, Ashliegh did a great job letting Thelma get comfortable with her during the meet and greet. Judging by the photos, Thelma felt quite at ease during the drop in!”
About: I love animals of all kinds! At home, I have one dog, Stryker, one cat, Kimber, and two pet rats, Top and Henry. I have also previously had an aquarium with some tetra fish :) I am currently studying zoology, so I am always around animals of all shapes and sizes! From my schooling and previous work, I have experience with puppies, adult and senior dogs, small birds, cats, small mammals (ferrets, rats, mice, guinea pigs, hamsters and rabbits), goats, chicken, reptile, and some fish and amphibian experience. I also have experience with pets who have strict diets, medication, take live food, and other dietary issues. I am a full time student at Otterbein University, with a part time job on campus. I am available on weekends and most week nights. I am flexible and can work with you, so that we can find the perfect schedule for your furry friend! I am a reliable, responsible and respectful individual. My mission is to make your pet feel as loved by me as they do by you, while respecting your space, your rules and most importantly your pet!
About: I have owned and raised over 6 dogs of all kinds throughout my life. I have experience with various types of dogs ranging from dachshunds to bulldogs and rottweilers. I would love to come over and hangout with your dogs and provide them with whatever you may need me to! I’m very active, and love to take dogs on walks and help them let out all that doggy energy! Hey y’all!! I’m a part time student at the University of Arizona, originally from Ohio. I intentionally keep my Schedule open on Mon/Wed/Fri so I can direct my attention to my pup and would love to do the same for yours. Feel free to message me about inquiries, and I will respond asap. I’m very flexible with time and routines! I will comply entirely to the directions of dog owners, and inquire about any questions I may have regarding the boundaries and routines of the household.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, giving me over 22 years of experience with pups of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve raised and trained one of my own dogs from puppyhood and have looked after many others for family, friends, and neighbors. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I’m confident in reading dog behavior and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away I’m currently not working until August, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I’m available most days and can easily adjust to your needs. I’m more than happy to work around your schedule and always offer meet-and-greets before confirming bookings to ensure your pet feels comfortable and safe with me.
“Alexis took wonderful care of my kitty. She’s shy with new people, and I can’t believe how well she took to Alexis. I would definitely recommend her services, and look forward to booking her next time I need a sitter.”
“Lenny was super great she filled in for a girl that couldn’t make it she gave my epileptic dog Yapper his medication and she took my dogs out for a P break she was awesome I got to enjoy my time at my sons wedding shower I will definitely be using her again she’s punctual and she follows directions very well.”
“John R. was great!! He had a challenge with our youngest fur baby since she was in a cage and was timid but they warmed up together. He checked into my Senior pups as well. They were his friend and favorite immediately. John is great! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!”
About: I don’t remember a life without pets and I wouldn’t have it any other way. My best friend will always be my 16 y/o pup. I work as a part time server and go to school online. I’m available most parts of most days as my shifts are not that long. I believe animals are family and should be treated that way. I’m aware everyone has their individual rules that are followed on top general respect towards the pets.
