“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!”
“Absolutely love! Olivia is the very best sitter we’ve ever had. She’s all in! Chloe loved being with Olivia. She took excellent care of Chloe. She fed and gave her medication and walked and played with Chloe. Will definitely book Olivia again!! Thanks for your great care!”
“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!”
“Meg was wonderful with Mr. Dennis! He is an anxious boy and it was great knowing I didn’t have to worry about him while I was away. I got plenty of updates throughout my trip and and I know he was cared for!”
“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!”
About: Let a full-time and loving sitter care for your critters in the comfort of their home! Better than boarding, lots of playtime, and I can take them to the groomer, vet or whatever they need. No additional charge for holidays, 60 minute visits/walks, and puppies! I have six years of professional pet care experience, but over thirty years of living with and caring for pets. Happy dogs, cats, and pet parents are my goals! In the animal-care lifestyle, pets come first! The creatures in my care are my first priority, because it’s my job, and because I love what I do. Feeding, walks, playing toys, and watching television together is a pretty accurate picture of my home and work life with all critters in my care. I accommodate any special care needs my clients may specify.
“Caitlyn was so wonderful with our reactive dog!!! She kept us constantly updated and clearly loved our dog while we were away. I book on rover all the time and Caitlyn was in the top tier. We will definitely use her again!”
“Rachael was so sweet and kind with my three pups. She was timely, an excellent communicator and I came home to happy doggies. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to love and care for your pets like you do. I will be using her services again in the future. Thank you!”
“We love Selena! She’s always on time and takes great care of our Golden Retrievers. Our doorbell camera showed that she looks around to make sure no one is watching when and where she puts our key. She’s very respectful and thoughtful of our home and takes great care of our dogs!”
“As soon as I met Loren I felt completely comfortable leaving our 15 month old pampered Coton de Tulear with her. She sent me great pictures that showed Moppie was relaxed and happy. I would not hesitate to get her to dog sit again!”
“Alanis was great! When she met Swirly, Swirly was a bit anxious and crazy. Alanis took it in stride and was undeterred. She was able to handle Swirly swimmingly well, took her on hikes, and sent cute pictures. I would definitely recommend!”
“Mikaela is so awesome!!! 2nd time she watched my dog and cat while I was out of town for a week each time in 4 months - I knew after the first time she watched them I wanted to ask her again before looking for anyone else, and I was SO glad she was available! She does a fantastic job not just feeding and walking pets but making sure they get all the pets and belly rubs they need - I could not recommend anyone better 🥰 thanks again Mikaela!!!”
“Taylor was great at keeping us informed and loved the pictures she sent. Chloe enjoyed the walks during the nice weather. Will definitely use Taylor again if needed.”
“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!”
“Megan is so easy to work with. I have no anxiety leaving my pups with her. We have an easy routine that works out well. She communicates frequently while we’re gone so I know everything is ok. The pups seem completely calm when I get home.”
“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.”
“Hannah was great! One of our dogs didn't accept us being gone very well and peed on our bed in protest. Hannah washed all of our linens and treated the spot on the mattress. Definitely above and beyond! She even ran the vacuum. Definitely way more than I would have ever expected. She treated our dogs and our home like she would her own. I would definitely use her again.”
Upper Arlington pet parents share their Rover experiences
We took a trip for the first time since getting our dog 6 months ago from a Rescue Agency so we wanted to have someone watch him at the house to avoid boarding him at an unknown place. We had Rachel come and take care of him and we will rebook her for all our future travel plans if she is available. From the initial meeting, we could tell she was very caring and patient with Hank (our dog). She proactively sent updates and photos of Hank enjoying his time, and was extremely quick to respond when we contacted her. We have total trust and confidence in her skills and ability to take care of Hank in the future, and I am positive he is looking forward to the next time he gets to spend time again with his new friend Rachel! Thank you again for everything.
I needed a sitter for a last minute trip, so I was a litle nervous b/c my usual sitters weren't available and I didn't have much time to look for another. I chose Meaghan based on her wonderful reviews and I'm glad I did. My pup hasn't been feeling good, but he seemed comfortable with Meaghan right from the start. While I was gone, she was very attentive to him and gave me frequent updates. She was also patient and flexible in working with me to find something that would entice his appetite. I was very worried, but I felt more at ease knowing Meaghan was with him. My kitties also seemed to warm up to her quickly, especially Cheo. It's always a good sign when she starts following you around the house! I will definitely keep Meaghan in mind for future trips.
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.
Kaitlyn was fantastic. It was so nice to be able to relax on vacation knowing my cats were well cared for! Kaitlyn send multiple updates and photos each day, and did so well entertaining my crazy kitten and comforting my lazy older boy. Will definitely book with Kaitlyn again in the future!! 🩷🩷
Malorie was fantastic. She took my desperate last minute request and even came over the same night before to meet us. She was so gentle and loving with my anxious senior dog and even my sassy cat was obsessed with her. She was prompt and communicative. Highly, highly recommend!
Rebecca watched my dogs and did overnights for 10 days, and she was wonderful. She sent updates every day. I could tell Rebecca was going to be good even before she sat my dogs because she was asking all the right questions. When I returned home, my house was just as clean as I left it. I would definitely hire Rebecca again.
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!
