âMiriam did a fantastic job taking care of goose and Delta. She was reliable, on time, and fantastic with communication. Set my mind at ease while I was away! I would happily refer her to anyone who needs a dog or pet sitter and will definitely be using her again!â

âEllie is an absolute pleasure. She's exceptionally polite and very efficient with her time. She stayed with my pup and gave her plenty of walks, lots of time and care and I'd HIGHLY RECOMMEND her. She was pleasant from the meet n greet all the way to the end. She asked great questions to ensure she knew as much as she could including any of homesitting needs before staying at my home. She also sent me tons of updates and photos while I was away. I was so comfortable with her and her communication was tip top! If anyone is need of a sitter, Ellie is your person, hands down! BOOK HER NOW!!!!â


âGrace was amazing. I booked the wrong days. She helped me correct the dates. It was a last minute booking and was a huge stress relief when she was able to accommodate. She sent me pictures of my babies to let me know they were doing well. Will be definitely using Grace again!â

âSheridan did an amazing job watching my dog! She was kind, communicative, and punctual. She house-sat while I was in the process of moving, and she was flexible and accommodating. Thank you Sheridan!!â

âI honestly donât know where to start when it comes to Ms. Pat. Sheâs amazing on so many levels that I could actually write paragraphs about her. At this point she feels like family. To say I trust her with my babies and in my home is an understatement. She treats my dogs so good that when I come home after sheâs been there I feel they have higher expectations from me đ She also makes sure the cats indoor and outdoor have food and water, and if the kittyâs make a mess with the water she cleans up. My little Rocky is unfortunately in a phase of marking and she also cleans up when/if he does that. She picks up my mail, and sheâs even brought a piece of wood over to block the bottom of my fence where my pup tries to get under to the neighbors yard and play with a big dog that could probably swallow him in one bite. Sheâs purchased treats not only for the pups but left me a full bag of skittles because she saw o had a jar on my counter. She sends so many pics and her updates are so detailed. Sheâs even printed off some of the photos for me and thatâs not all.. she purchased two gold frames to match my decor for me to put them in. She comes when she says she will and she spends quality time with them. At this point I feel like sheâs grandmothered in .. literally she cares for my babies like sheâs a proud aunt or G-ma. I would 10 out of 10 recommend (even though I really donât want to share because if sheâs ever not available I probably wouldnât hire anyone else on Rover) I had a bad experience last year and almost wrote Rover off as a never again. Ms. Pat has changed that for us.â
âKelly was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! She took such amazing care of our dog and our house while we were gone for an extended vacation! She had great communication and the pictures she sent truly captured how comfortable our dog was with her. She has such a kind and calm personality which made us leaving put our dog at ease. She went above and beyond and helped prepare meals for our dog when we were getting home later than expected and the house was left spotless!!! Kelly is 10/10 and an exceptional pal for our dog! We plan on using Kelly for the future!â

About: Iâve had pets since I was a wee lad and my mom has instilled the importance of their love and care in me. Everyone from friends to strangers have relied on me to take care of their pets. I am so happy to love your pets for you while youâre away. Iâm currently in between jobs and doing some freelance editing for authors, so I will have plenty of time for walks, in-home pet sitting, etc. My schedule will work around yours. I will work with you for your petâs specific needs in your home. I am open and willing to your petâs schedules. I currently do not offer services in my own home.

âDoug was an excellent communicator. He left our house clean and our dog happy. He sent us photos and updates, and quickly responded to my texts. He even offered to stop back over when we were running behind.â

âBrittany did a great job watching our golden retriever and was very polite and responsive. He was very happy with her company. We would love to have her come back and watch him again!â

âMadison was great! She took care of our dog, rabbit, and fish tanks for a week in our home and everything was in perfect shape when we came back. We got daily updates and photos of the animals and they all looked like they were having a great time. We will definitely have Madison back!â

âRachael did an excellent job house sitting/watching our two boys (cats)! She was a fantastic communicator and sent us lot of pictures. Our apartment was spotless when we returned and our cats warmed right up to her. We will definitely rebook!â

âMadelyn was wonderful with my dog and 2 cats. The house was all in great condition when I arrived back home. She sent pic updates during her stay and was easy to follow up with. I will be rebooking her again!â

âAlways super helpful and nice when I book with her. This was a last minute booking and Iâm so thankful she was available. My dog has crazy anxiety and compared to the first time and this one she took barely any time to get used to Kaelin.â

âHannah was absolutely awesome with our pups! Iâm always nervous leaving them alone because theyâre rambunctious. Hannah handled them well without issue! She was very communicative and sent photos of the pups. She offered to get our mail and water our plants as well, which was super sweet. Weâre so glad we found a pet sitter we can trust!â

âSuch an amazing dog/house sitter! Our pups love her and the stays always go great. She gives great updates on how the dogs are doing. Would definitely recommend. This was our 2nd time booking and we will continue to book her as our first choice when sheâs available!â

About: I grew up with dogs, cats and horses. I've taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was ten years old. Currently I own a cat but am comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I am free on evenings during the week and day time and evenings on most weekends. I am in Columbus for most holidays and here to help you enjoy your time away knowing your pet is well taken care of. My home is not sized to fit other animals but I have a car and am happy to drive to your house to take care of your pet
âSahara was an absolutely wonderful house and dog sitter! Our two dogs were cared for with attention to detail and many snuggles! Sahara communicates really well, updates frequently, and sends adorable daily photos! We will use her again!â

Tri-South pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ellie was so great and organized with our puppy! She was very respectful of our dogâs routine and of our home. She gave daily communication with pictures and a summary of what they did. She even trained her on some tricks we were struggling with. I was able to enjoy my time away with full trust in Ellie!

Absolutely OUTSTANDING care for our two dogs and cat (and house!) while we were gone for two weeks. Paige and Cindy gave regular updates and super cute photos, and were kind enough to bring in mail and packages as well. They will be my go-to petsitters from now on!

She really is the grandma of your pets! My girls are older and loved her at the first meet and greet. My oldest is almost 100# and she didnât even balk. Penny is communicative, attentive and kind. My house was just as clean as I left it and I canât be more appreciative. Thanks Penny!! Weâll be using you again!!

So happy to have found Tori! She watched my two pups and my moms over the holidays. She sent lots of updates and pictures. She even got my old shy dog to eat and hang out which is not an easy feat. So happy to know I found someone to give me peace of mind for my babies when Iâm away. Thanks so much Tori

Beth was super quick to respond and so kind! She sent me pictures of my animals throughout her stay and was confident in her abilities to take care of them well. Leaving your animals with a stranger is always nerve wrecking but Beth made the experience so smooth- I appreciate it so much!

Hannah is amazing with our dogs! They are 50-65 pounds, get dirty, and like to play fight constantly. They are definitely not the easiest dogs to care for, but Hannah goes above and beyond with them. She sends us photos of them everyday, snuggles with them, and lets us know if there are any issues. Sheâs a great communicator. It is great to be able to leave the dogs with her and know that they will be safe and cared for. I cannot recommend her enough!

Kiki saved the day!! I was in a pinch and Kiara was incredibly flexible and able to accommodate my request for help on very short notice. I was very nervous about leaving my 11 wk old puppy and old lady cat for a weekend out of state, but was immediately calmed by Kiara's calm and sunny presence. She was communicative, sending updates throughout her stay and even worked on training with my little guy. I felt at peace and was able to enjoy a great trip knowing that she was taking care of my babes like they were her own. She'll be on speed dial from here on out!

Aleisa is the best!!! She did an incredible job watching my medically fragile girl, including handling a situation that led to an emergency vet visit. She did an amazing job keeping in contact about Frannieâs day to day, asked great questions, and communicated any conflicts with scheduling. I 100% trust and recommend Aleisa and would love to work with her again in the future!!

Ashley took amazing care of our dog and provided us frequent updates and pictures! Our dog was experiencing some health issues and having frequent bathroom accidents so we really appreciated Ashleyâs gentleness and patience with her and her availability to work from our home.
