About: Hi there! I’m Amy, a lifelong dog lover and dog mom to Riley, a sweet and sensitive 3 year old Mini Australian Shepherd. I’m from the DC area, lived in NYC and Philly after college, and moved to Columbus in fall of 2024 with my partner Jake. We live in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath house on the border of Victorian Village and Harrison West. We both work from home and have a fenced backyard, so your dog will have plenty of space to explore and lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your pup is playful or prefers alone time, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and loved. One of the reasons I started doing Rover is because I wanted to find friends for Riley to spend time with during the day. He enjoys playing with dogs who are around his size (30lb) or smaller. I’m excited to meet your pup and would love to set up a meet-and-greet to learn all about their unique personality and needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m home the majority of the day, so I’m able to provide plenty of attention and potty breaks. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment. I’m mindful of each dog’s personality and I follow their usual routines as closely as possible to help them feel at ease.

“Katie was extremely professional and we knew our fur baby was in good hands. We only needed day care for a quick trip in town but she's the first person we'll call if we have needs in Columbus again. Highly recommend!”

“Cindy was great! Communicated and was very flexible with pick up and drop off. Sent pics and took great care of our dog Penny. We will continue to use Cindy in the future for our girl!”

“Mary was very accommodating on such short notice. I was informed by messages, pics and videos throughout day. Dogs were happy. Everything went real well. Glad there is a trusted pet lover that can lend a hand.”

“I have been dropping my pup off at Lindsey's every work day for the past 3-4 months and he absolutely loves it there! He gets to play with other dogs all day and is always tired when I pick him up :) Lindsey is very flexible and always tries to accommodate my varying work hours. I have full trust in her with my fur-baby!”

“Thomas took great care of my pup and he had a great time. Thomas sent plenty of updates and was very communicative and quick to respond. I could tell when I picked my dog up that he had not felt stressed or anxious, which is a huge relief.”

“Latisha is an incredible sitter and went above and beyond in a way that I can’t even begin to mention in a tiny review on this website. I am forever grateful to have found her to watch my baby boy.”

About: My intro to pet care started in my childhood, including an unexpected pregnancy of our family dog resulting in the birth of 13 puppies! 15 years into adulthood I adopted a dog and currently have a 2 y/o goldendoodle. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule. I get my own dog out for walks daily and a game of fetch as often as possible. Available for morning, lunchtime, and evening drop-ins, bringing your dog along with mine, or devoted individual attention. Dog daycare hours: 8A-5:30P Pick up and drop-offs for boarding between 8A-8P. Can crate in my home or drop in to yours. Walks, parks, hikes, games of fetch, cuddles, and treats. My home includes extra attention from elementary and middle school aged kids.

“Clark had the best the day with Sally! I am so happy I am able to leave my boy with her. She clearly made him feel right at home as he went right to play. What I love the most is that the safety I feel she is giving him and the comfort of his own home. She is offering her place so your dog still feels at home while they are away, and that feels really special. It takes a good person to be able to pull that off.”

“She took awesome care of my two babies even after they totally act like they had no home training kept in contact and was even accommodating with picking up early and dropping off late I appreciate her so much highly recommended and will definitely use again”

About: I’ve loved pets my whole life! Whether it be watching my neighbors dog and taking it for walks, or watching my friends whilst they are gone, I am a go to for sitting! After having my own dog at college for 6 months (sadly he is now away), I’ve decided to introduce pet care into my life again! Our dog was a 9 year old lab, so I have experience administering pills, etc. I’m a student so I only have certain classes during the week so my availability is high! We have previously had a dog in our house so I am perfectly capable of handling a pet with my routine! I treat any pet like my own, ensuring the best environment based on the individual pets needs. This means keeping a watchful eye and ensuring the pet is not endangering itself.

“This was my first time ever having a dog sitter and Michelle made it such an easy and great experience. Michelle provided lots of pictures and videos and made sure my Aussie got plenty of attention and exercise. I highly recommend Michelle and would definitely leave my dog with her again.”

“Lauren was wonderful with Lola! I was nervous at first, but her updates reassured me, and Lola clearly had a great day and was so well cared for.”

Terace T.

“Erika is great! She and her daughter are great dog sitters. My pooch had a blast playing with with their two resident dogs. Looking forward to a return visit when the need arises!”

“Wonderful experience! My dog, Izzy, loved staying with Will and Bibiana. She enjoyed spending time with the other dogs and was taken care of very well.”

About: Hi there! I’m a proud dog mom myself! I’ve raised my little pup since he was just 6 weeks old, and now he’s 5 ½. Going through the puppy stage, teenage years, and now adult years has given me first-hand experience with all the ups, downs, and tail wags that come with caring for dogs. From potty training and long walks to endless playtime and snuggles, I truly enjoy being there for every stage of a pup’s life. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like my own. I know the peace of mind it brings to have someone you can trust with your fur baby. Along with raising my own, I’ve also provided long-term sitting for a senior dog who needed specialized care, including medication, prepared meals, and lots of extra attention. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and love when caring for pets with unique needs. I’m currently a grad student with clinical rotations, which means I’m usually away from home about 5–7 hours at a time during the week. Once I’m back, I typically stay home the rest of the day, so I have plenty of time for walks, play, and snuggles. Saturdays/Sundays can sometimes be a bit longer for me (8–10 hours), but I always make sure to get in a nice walk and plenty of playtime before leaving so your pup will be ready for a good long nap. I live in a dog-friendly apartment with my own super chill dog. Right outside the complex are plenty of walking paths and two large designated potty areas, so your dog will have safe and fun spaces to stretch their legs. To ensure your pup’s safety while I’m away for class, I kindly ask that you bring their crate; it helps keep them comfortable and secure when I can’t be right by their side. Between playtime, walks, and lots of love, I’ll make sure your bestie feels right at home. I can’t wait to meet all my new furry friends!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover based in Columbus who recently stepped away from my corporate career and is preparing for an exciting move to Australia in a couple of months. In the meantime, I’m looking to spend my time doing something I genuinely enjoy, caring for and walking dogs. This transition has given me the flexibility to dedicate my full attention to pet care, and I’m committed to making each walk safe, fun, and tailored to your dog’s needs. Whether your pup loves long, energetic walks or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to match their routine. Since I recently stepped away from my full-time corporate role, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate consistent time throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and quality time with your pet. I structure my days around the dogs I’m caring for, making sure they get timely walks and any specific care they need. Whether it’s morning, midday, or evening visits, I’m able to adapt to your dog’s routine. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family! Whether we’re at your home or out on a walk, I follow your routines and make sure your pup gets plenty of love, attention, and exercise. I pay close attention to their personality and energy, keep them safe, and make sure they feel happy and comfortable. I also love sending updates and photos so you can see how much fun we’re having together!

“Super kind and kept me updated all day! Baker had so much fun playing with all the other dogs, would recommend!”
