“Sheridan helped me last minute when my previous sitter had to cancel on me. She responded promptly, was attentive, and gave great updates. I’m extremely appreciative of her help!”

“Caitlyn did a great job with Opie. She sent daily pics and multiple updates through out the day. He didn’t miss a beat and loved have some convert with him. Would highly recommend!”

“Alanis was prompt with communications both when booking and during her stay. She sent messages and pictures to let us know things were doing well. We sure appreciated that our dogs were in good hands!”

“Elizabeth was amazing. It's not easy going away worry-free on vacation, but she nailed it. I didn't leave her with any instructions and she handled everything flawlessly. Even exceeded expectations. Cannot recommend enough!”

“Samantha was very communicative throughout her stay with our Mickey. Sent us regular status updates and pictures. She also took good care of our house with it looking just the way we left it. We would highly recommend Samantha and will definitely ask her to watch Mickey again if she is available.”

“Erica is seriously the best! I always know that Clyde is in the most loving hands while i’m away. My house is just how I left it (if not, it’s cleaner) :) and I receive daily updates and pictures. I appreciate her and so does Clyde!”

About: I love animals! I’ve had pets my whole life and could not imagine life without one! I have over 15 years of pet sitting experience, from Great Danes to puppies, cats and even chinchillas! I have a particular love for senior pets and those that need extra love and attention. I currently have one cat, Tonks. She is 9 years old, a beautiful torbie, former barn cat and current indoor princess. I have previously been the proud mom of 4 wonderful cats and 3 perfect pups who all lived long happy lives. I can’t wait to meet your best furry friends! I’m self employed and am able to cater my schedule around yours! I’m available week days and weekends. I’m also available to stay with your pets overnight while you are on vacation, traveling for work, etc. I treat my clients pets as my own. I will follow your routine and instructions implicitly. Whether that is a nice walk, or a snuggle on the couch, I’m here for all their needs.
“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!”

“We are so thankful for Jennifer! She watched our pets over Easter weekend and did a phenomenal job. We received regular updates along with pictures, and we came home to a happy house. We would absolutely use her again.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have pet sit for friends and family since I was 9. I love all types of pups with different personalities. I can be high energy for dogs who need it, but also am fine with chilling with low activity. Can’t wait to meet new fur babies!! I am wanting to do pet care as something to keep me busy and active, and for a second job that I will easily enjoy! My house does not have a fence around the yard, but would be taken out on a leash. There are no other pets in the house.
About: I've grown up with dogs since I was 8, having owned rottweilers and a pug. I'm comfortable handling different personalities, sizes, ages, and energy level. I am a student at Ohio State looking to make a couple extra bucks while hanging out with cute dogs! I am available weekends and weekdays after 1 PM I give dogs lots of attention through playtime, a walk, brushing them, or just laying with them. I can follow specific instructions with feeding, bathroom breaks, or routines they have. Can also send updates or photos if wanted/needed.
About: I have had dogs all my life. From relaxed dogs to absolute crazy ones, no matter what they are always my best friend. I have taught all my dogs their basic skills, like sit, heal, and also to sit at crosswalks until I say it’s clear! I have dealt with all different sizes of dogs and ages for dogs, always happy help. I am a college student. So my availability varies from time to time, but I will try my best to get back to you as soon as possible to help with your pet. My dog is apart of my family so I treat her with love and respect! I give her loads of belly rubs as those are her favorite! I walk her everyday typically twice a day. She gets told she’s a pretty girl 24/7 because she’s gotta know her worth! My dog is my whole world, I’ll do anything for her!
“Joelle was reliable and did a great job taking care of our dog while we were out of town! We received a daily update with a photo to reassure us that everything was going well and that our dog was getting all the cuddle time she needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again in the future.”

“Rebecca was amazing! She was so patient and calm with my little guy. It took a bit for him to warm up. She didn’t bat an eye at all my requests or learning how to walk a cat. 😁 She sent daily updates with pictures. Rebecca stayed overnight for a week and I’m pretty sure she left the place cleaner than I left it. She even went the extra mile to stay a bit longer when my flight came in late and turned the lights on so I didn’t come home to a dark space. The little guy is happy, clean and healthy. I was able to really relax during vacation knowing everything was taken care of at home. I will definitely ask Rebecca to come stay again the next time I go out of town.”

About: I have had 3 dogs over my lifetime and raised my latest one during the pandemic, training him when I was home from college taking online classes. I am searching for a way to fill the void I feel being away from my dogs at home as I begin my new job. I can easily take your dog out and am not afraid of putting collars on. I know how to calm anxious dogs down as well.
Upper Arlington pet parents share their Rover experiences
We have used Bethany a few times now to watch our dog Milo. This time she house sat for us and also took care of our cat, everything went smoothly! Bethany is a great person, great communicator and a superior pet sitter. She always gives us peace of mind when we go on trips!

Jeffrey was a huge help in watching our anxious dog during an out of town visit on short notice. He communicated in a to key fashion and we really appreciated his flexibility given our situation. We have a friendly but large dog and he had no problem in taking him on walks. Highly recommend!

Olivia helped us thru a time when one spouse was travelling extensively and the other was working full time and we had a new puppy who was not yet ready to stay alone. She took great care, was always on time, and was a delight to work with. We recommend her to anyone with pet needs and will certainly use her as a sitter in the future.

Hallie was the perfect fit for our pets and home. The meet and greet allowed Vanna and Scout to be comfortable with a new person to care for them and we came home to relaxed and happy fur babies! Hallie was a perfect communicator- photos, questions, updates were all very comforting as we were away. She has a relaxed demeanor that I know Vanna and Scout appreciated!

Loren took care of my two dogs while I was gone for 7 days. She sent updates twice a day (even when I was unable to access the internet) which I appreciated. I have a very reactive dog and she was very patient with him, even came to meet him twice before the trip. Would be happy to use her services again in the future.

Andrew was a fantastic sitter while we were away on vacation for a week. We received a daily update with pictures and when we returned home, the dogs were happy, calm, and clearly well taken care of. The house was clean and Andrew made sure to be helpful with making sure the house was ready for us when we returned home. We are so grateful and our dogs love him!

Laila was an absolutely exceptional dog sitter, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the care she provided! From the start, she was professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about animals. Our dog struggles with separation anxiety, but Laila was incredibly patient and attentive, making sure all of his needs were met and that he felt safe, comfortable, and cared for while we were away! She truly went above and beyond—keeping us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that our sweet Yorkie wasn’t just being looked after, but genuinely cared for. On top of that, we came home to a house that was in immaculate condition. Everything was neat, tidy, and exactly as we left it (if not better)! That level of respect and attention to detail really stood out. We would wholeheartedly recommend Laila to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring dog sitter. She exceeded our expectations in every way. 💗
