Erica took really good care of our animals while we were out of town. She sent us pictures and updated us daily. She also did an amazing job on giving our cat his medications. Would recommend and book again.

Patricia took great care of our dog (and our house!) during our trip out of town. She sent us lots of great updates so we knew all was well at home 🙂. We are so happy to have found her and look forward to working with her again in the near future!!

About: Hi!🫶🏼 I Would love to help care for your animals in any capacity. I have extensive experience with animals and have worked at a dog boarding kennel in the past in addition to growing up with pets. I have worked with aggressive dogs and am comfortable reading a dog’s cues to prevent escalation. I currently have a Bernese mountain dog who is always down for a play date and a cat who tolerates her antics haha. Bonus- I’m an ER nurse, far from a vet tech, but good for med admin if needed! With that, I do work 3 shifts a week(12 hours) that vary. So while my schedule can be sporadic, it can also be very open! I work full time 3 days a week and use rover sitters myself for those days. My schedule varies, but I am great for last minute needs as long as I’m not working! I try to stick to your pet’s routine and rules! I am also very good at recognizing body language/behaviors and therefore can prevent “incidents” from occurring like aggression on walks. I’m also happy to bring along my Berner for a play date if you’d like!

Downtown, Columbus, OH, 43215

About: I’ve been walking my two dogs around downtown for more than 5 years—we know all the best spots! I nursed one of my dogs during surgical recovery and both are technically geriatric at this point, so I have experience with dogs of nearly all ages. Would love to get to know your fur babies! I work remotely downtown so my schedule is fairly flexible. Some days I have no meetings at all! Even when I do, they are few and far between. I generally tend to stay local to Downtown when I’m not working too. Plenty of walks and playtime, always making sure to keep an eye on them so they stay out of trouble. My dogs love to snuggle so we often curl up on the couch with a good show or movie!

Emma watched Sadie while we were away for a day. She was communicative when needed, did everything we asked of her, and even stayed a little while extra to comfort Sadie when Sadie was afraid of fireworks going off outside. Sadie was cared for and in good spirits when we returned. We would happily book Emma again!

Emily stayed with my dog in my home for a few days and was amazing with my dog! She sent regular updates with photos and I think she’s as much in love with my dog as I am after staying with her. My home was also clean and tidy when I got home which I so appreciated after being tired from traveling. Part of the reason I booked with Emily is her many years of dog sitting experience, and she absolutely met my expectations. Would highly recommend booking Emily to watch your furry friend.

Kun was absolutely amazing staying with our dog while we were out of town for a week. She took excellent care of him and went above and beyond. Kun sent many updates and pictures and also took him on lots of walk. We were able to relax knowing he was in such good hands. Will definitely rebook with Kun again!

My pitty was very comfortable with Maggie and her sweet dog Willow while dog sitting in my house for 4 nights. I received daily photos and updates of their fun walks and snuggle time on the couch. We will definitely be using Maggie again in the future! She is a dog lover through and through. Plus, the house was spotless upon my return.

Rebecca did an amazing job with our very reactive pup! Our dog is very sweet with humans but is very reactive towards other dogs, making walking her understandably challenging. Rebecca watched her for a week and had no issues during this time. Would definitely recommend!

Jessica was a great sitter! She watched my parents’ dog while they were in town visiting. She was timely and went above and beyond in sending them lots of pics, leaving a hand written note, and even took a Polaroid photo of him for us! My parents said they’d definitely book her when they’re in town again!

Miriam did the best job taking care of our dog while we were out of town. Miriam did a great job communicating, sending photos, updates, and left our home in fantastic condition. We have a senior dog with some anxiety, and Miriam was very experienced and understanding, which truly can’t express how much that’s appreciated. Would rebook with Miriam any time and suggest you to do the same!

Rachel was always in touch, asking questions and updating on what was happening with the fur crew. She had a very sweet and bubbly personality during the meet and greet and rolled with any changes. When I got home, things were neat and orderly; counters were clean and I have a suspicion that she may have vacuumed (which was not required at all, but I appreciated her efforts). I don't take trips often, but the next time I do, I will definitely book Rachel again!

Maria was exceptional while watching our two dogs for about 10 days. From the start, her communication was clear, consistent, and reassuring, which made it so much easier for us to enjoy our time away. She kept us updated with regular messages and videos, and it was obvious our dogs were happy, relaxed, and getting lots of love and attention. She went above and beyond with daily walks, plenty of affection, and keeping our home clean and well cared for. It’s not easy to leave your pets and house in someone else’s hands, but Maria made the whole experience stress-free. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

Ashley was great! I was lucky that she was available on short notice. She send pictures regularly and spent lots of time with my girls. This is the first rover sitter I’ve used that when I got home there were ZERO potty accidents or chewed up things. Would definitely use this sitter again.
