“Audrey has been absolutely amazing! A true blessing! She worked with our quirky puppy dog. Truly engaged I cannot tell you how amazing she is to work with with. I recommend her wholeheartedly… book with her right now!”

About: I've taken care of many kinds of dogs and have always had one in my family home. I've taken care of big and small, old gentle dogs and crazy little puppies. I've had a lab and currently have a pitbull. They've all been very playful so I'm used to and don't minding jumping, barking and licking. I'm working part-time, so I have plenty time to visit, walk or stay with your pets. I'm not picky about the time of dag and can work over the weekends. Since I've had many pets I realise it takes time for some animals to adjust to a new person while others are very loving right away. I'd make sure to take into account your own dogs personality when interacting with them and the rules you keep for them.
About: I grew up with dogs and currently have two cats that I treat like my own children! I’ve done petsitting for years for both cats and dogs of various breeds. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets, having me feed them, walk their dogs, spend time with their cats, and keep litter boxes tidy. I work full-time and have a hybrid schedule, so I have flexibility on days I work from home and weekends. I can spend the day at your home or drop in as needed, but due to having pets of my own, can’t always do overnight stays. Since I live in a small apartment with two cats, I can’t bring your pet to stay with me. Instead, I’m more than happy to drop in periodically or spend the day at your home, making sure your pets are happy, fed, and get some social interaction!
“Morgan is excellent and she does a great job with Pablo! Her communication is excellent, and she is always on time and very friendly with Pablo. I highly recommend her.”

“Erin was incredible! She helped my sister and I out during a family emergency and showed up for us last minute to save the day! Incredible communication very compassionate unable to work with our quirky puppy! I highly recommend her!!!”


“Friendly, professional, and prompt! Morgan is a trustworthy care giver for your fur baby that looks forward to her time with your pup and goes out of her way to make them feel loved. Would recommend!”

“Elizabeth is amazing. Extremely reliable, prompt communication and easily handles any obstacle. Highly recommended and very trustworthy. I selfishly hope others don't find her so she is always available...”

“Thea is absolutely amazing! She gave me such peace of mind and was great with my mini doxie. My pup takes a little bit to warm up to strangers and loves to bark but Thea was so patient and so kind. Only took him one meeting to love her!! She’s very communicative and always sends lots of pictures and videos. She cares a lot about her clients, even put my pups jacket on him to make sure he wouldn’t be too cold without me asking her to do so. I booked 4 straight days for walks last minute and she was able to fit me in no problem. I could not have had a better experience and recommend her to anyone looking! Checks all the boxes and I can’t think of anything she didn’t do well 😊”

“Taylor has been very helpful. She has come and walked our very energetic dog on a weekly basis and I have had 0 difficulties getting ahold of her or getting feedback about how everything went. She is very sweet and a great choice for your pet!”

About: I’m a big animal lover and I’ve taken care of dogs for a little bit now. I have 3 dogs of my own who I love dearly. I am currently a university student so time is very valuable. I am free on the weekends and sometimes in between the weekdays as well. I am able to help keep your pet inside of your home, as well as keep them in your backyard. I will follow any specific way you would want me to put the pet away.
“Jennifer was really assuring through the process of using rover for the first time! She provided a lot of pictures and details and did things I forgot to ask for, like refilling my dog’s water bowl. I felt really comfortable with her walking my dog and am happy knowing he got some extra care and attention!”

“Our dog Ruby loved her! A well trained professional. Prompt response times. Friendly and kind. I felt as ease knowing Jovonna would take great care of Ruby while my wife and I were at work”

“Camryn has been amazing for this first 3 weeks. She scheduled a consultation on short notice, and has been great with timing, communication, and most importantly, care of our dog. We’ll be hiring her for a long time!”


About: I have always loved dogs since I was little. I’ve around all different breeds. My sister has a 3 year old pit bull and sometimes I would watch him for a couple of days out of the year. He’s a shy big boy but I have been able to build trust and really take care of him. I love play time with dogs. I am good with control and not allowing dogs to go crazy. I am also great on walks!! I’m currently taking morning classes so I will have plenty of time to drop by and play and hangout with your pups. On Thursday my whole day is completely free!! For drop by’s I stick to the rules given to me from the client. I ensure my full attention is on the dog at all times. If a walk is given, I will ensure the harness and leash is on correctly and held close to me while also keeping the safety of the dog first priority.

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mom was uncomfortable around animals, so she encouraged me to help neighbors care for theirs. What started as a way to spend time with animals eventually grew into a pet-care business that I've continued for more than six years. Over the years, I've provided dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, house sitting, and cat care for 20–50 pets. I've worked with puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, anxious dogs, multi-dog households, and pets with special care routines. I'm comfortable administering oral medications using pill pockets, maintaining feeding schedules, handling accidents, and providing consistent exercise and companionship. As an Ohio State student-athlete and Morrill Scholar, I take pride in being dependable, responsible, and communicative. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. As a student-athlete at Ohio State, I maintain a structured and consistent schedule. I have swim practice in the mornings, but outside of practice I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and overnight care. Since my schedule is predictable, I plan my day around the pets I'm caring for and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I prioritize maintaining each pet's normal routine and following all owner instructions carefully so they feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I make sure pets receive regular exercise, potty breaks, fresh water, meals, and plenty of attention.
About: 10 years professional experience in animal care; 7 years as a vet assistant, other experience as a zookeeper, lab animal tech, and in an animal shelter I work part time and go to school; available during the day and evenings mostly. I work part time Fridays and Saturdays. My days with your pet will focus on their safety and comfort. We will have fun if they want to go out, or hang out indoors if they are nervous. :) I live in an apartment in a quiet neighborhood with no roomates. No other pets in the home. Neighbors with indoor dogs and fenced yards. Willing to restrict "walks" to my courtyard or walk pets one at a time if that is your preference.
About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and have frequently pet sat for my family and friends. I am a dog and cat lover and I enjoy taking care of many different animals! I am a college student who is home for the summer, and currently trying to make a bit of extra money. For the most part, I have open availability! I can take your pets on a walk around your neighborhood, and I am able to crate your pets if need be. My two dogs have a fenced in yard to play in and I can take them outside in our backyard frequently.

Thea was lovely to meet and did a great job with my goldendoodle Bella. She came highly recommended and for good reasons — she was prompt and very responsive when I had to switch an aspect of my dogs care last minute. Would happily have her visit my home to walk Bella again :)

Laila was an exceptional dog sitter for us! She has great communication and is so thorough about understanding our dog’s needs and routines. She followed all instructions very precisely, and even administered our dog’s insulin after each meal. Her write-ups and photos were so detailed and you can tell how much she cares! Thank you Laila!
