House Sitting Upper Arlington

“Lyndsey took excellent care of my two kitties while I was out of state visiting family for Christmas. She was responsive, thorough, and sent updates/pictures during her stay. I booked Lyndsey back in July as I knew sitter availability would be limited as it got closer to the holidays, and I could tell from the meet and greet Lyndsey was a great choice and would do a wonderful job. So thankful for her help!”

“Erica was a wonderful pet sitter. She was sweet, courteous, intuitive to our family and home, timely, and followed all instructions without hesitation. Our fur baby was happy & well taken care of upon our arrival home. We look forward to having Erica help out in the future for overnight stays, dog walks & cuddles!”

“Morgan was my first experience using Rover and took all the stress away! She provided frequent and thorough updates. I could tell in the pictures she shared my pup was having a great time. Can’t wait to book her again!”

“Stephanie was a wonderful sitter - she was quick to reply to us, even for a last-minute request, and provided us with frequent text/photo updates just how we like it. We came home to a clean apartment and a happy pup. We’d love to have her take care of our dog again!”

“Madeline stayed with my babies over night which I much appreciated it. She sent pictures daily of them. The 1st day with them she didn;t leave which made them feel secure. Felt like they were loved and taken care of since have 2 puppy mill moms and 3 cats which think Zoey maybe slept with her since the room she slept in Zoey has now claimed for her room.”

“Caitlyn was outstanding. This was our first time using Rover, and we were definitely a bit nervous leaving our three pets, but she immediately put us at ease. She was great with communication and sent picture updates, which we really appreciated. Both of our dogs and our cat loved having her here, and it was clear they were comfortable and well cared for. We have a senior dog, Wiley, and another dog, Pogo, who has three legs, and Caitlyn was attentive, patient, and wonderful with both of them. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience and will absolutely be booking with Caitlyn again. Highly recommend.”

“Beth not only met my number one priority of attentive care for Oliver, but also went above and beyond other sitters I’ve gotten from Rover.com before. I felt so much peace of mind and am so grateful that I have a dog sitter that I can use for my next trip!”

About: Animals are my entire life, and also my eventual career! Over 10 years ago I started walking my neighbors dogs and fell in love with animal care. Since then, I have gained a ton of experience by working with all sorts of animals in my high school animal labs and farms, working in a small animal vet clinic, volunteering at shelters and ICUs, pet sitting for family friends, knowledge through my animal science courses, and much more. I love all types of animals, and I truly hope to provide the best of service to your family pets! I am currently a college student, but I have a lot of free time throughout the week and the weekends to provide my services. My best availability is from Fri-Sun, however I can still fit quality care throughout most of the week Every time I let your pet go outside, I always make sure to have them on a leash to keep control of them for everyone’s safety. In fenced in areas, I am always outside with them to supervise so they have someone to play with and make sure they are keeping out of trouble. I am very flexible in pet care and will do whatever it takes to cater to their needs

About: What truly sets me apart from other sitters is my unique blend of lifelong pet ownership, formal training, and the capability to handle pets of all shapes and sizes. I have been surrounded by dogs, cats, and small animals since birth, which has given me an intuitive understanding of animal body language and care. Beyond casual pet ownership, I spent seven years as an active 4-H member, which instilled in me a deep sense of discipline, structure, and professional responsibility when it comes to animal management. At 250 pounds, I possess the physical strength and confidence required to safely handle larger or giant breeds that tend to pull on leashes, an area where many campus sitters struggle. Whether you have a tiny cat requiring gentle, patient drop-in visits, a senior dog needing a calm routine, or a massive breed that needs a firm and confident handler, my extensive 4-H background ensures your pet will be kept safe, structured, and happy. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because my schedule allows me to offer dedicated, high-quality care exactly when pet parents need it most. From Monday through Friday, I have large blocks of free time between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM (except Thursdays), which is the absolute peak window for mid-day dog walks and drop-in visits around the Ohio State University campus and surrounding neighborhoods. For overnight house sitting, I focus entirely on an alternating weekend schedule. Every other weekend, my schedule is completely clear of academic commitments. On these working weekends, my girlfriend visits me from out of town, allowing us to team up and provide constant companionship, regular updates, and double the care for your pet. I actively manage my calendar a month in advance, ensuring that any booking I accept receives my full, structured commitment. Safety, structure, and respect are my top priorities when caring for a pet in a client's home. Because I have seven years of formal training through 4-H and have raised dogs, cats, and small animals my entire life, I know how to establish a calm, trusted bond with a pet while maintaining a secure environment. When house sitting, I strictly adhere to the owner's established routines, feeding schedules, and household rules to minimize any anxiety the pet might feel while their family is away. At 250 pounds, I am highly confident in my physical ability to maintain complete leash control on walks, even with large or giant breeds that tend to pull, ensuring every outdoor trip is safe and controlled. I am also extremely detail-oriented when it comes to home security. I make sure all doors and gates are securely locked, respect the client's privacy and property completely, and never allow unauthorized guests into the home without explicit, upfront permission. Whether I am handling a delicate cat drop-in or a weekend house sitting gig with a massive breed, pet parents can expect transparent communication, regular photo updates, and a safe, clean environment.

“Rachel was amazing with our old pup! She let us know how he did during the day, when he ate, and anything to follow up on when we returned. She was thoughtful and adapted to his quirks. Our house was well taken care of and we felt all was safe and sound while gone. She is truly caring and understanding with senior dogs.”

“I'm extremely pleased with the overall care that Erin provided my two kitties while I was away on vacation. Erin was super communicative throughout her stay and I really appreciated the pictures and updates. She provided medication administration for one of my cats twice a day and followed my instructions for both cats perfectly. She truly allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worrying about anything back home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent sitter and look forward to booking her for future stays!”

Lindsey P.

“Monica was great with my cat while I was away for over 2 weeks! I got lots of updates and pictures, she made sure he got his meds and plenty of cuddles, and I came home to a happy cat and a clean house. She was also very flexible and understanding when my travel plans got shifted and when my cat got a new prescription after I left. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I make it a priority to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. I’m dependable and organized, and I take commitments seriously. I’ll make sure your pet’s care is a priority and that they receive the time and attention they deserve. I know pets are most comfortable when their routine stays consistent, so I’ll take the time to learn their preferences, habits, and any special instructions before you leave. I’m also happy to send regular photo and text updates so you know how your pet is doing

“Could not recommend Kaylynn more! She stayed at our home for a week and took exceptional care of our dogs (and house) while we were out of town. Her communication was great and we would not hesitate to use her in the future!”

Lisa A.

“Maggie is a great sitter and love that she brings he dog for our very active healer mix to run around with. She’s great at communicating throughout and send great pictures! Will definitely use her again and again”
