“Abby is great! This was my second time with Abby as my sitter & she did a great job at taking care of my pup Theo while I was out of town, I knew he was in good hands :) Abby is great at communication / providing consistent updates. I will continue to use Abby in the future!”


“Vanessa did a great job with Captain. I especially appreciated the update she provided at the end of the stay to let me know how things went. She asked great questions at the start and clearly has a love and appreciation for animals.”


“Cindy was amazing and went above and beyond for my girl! When my dog was sick during the days she was dropping in on her, Cindy went out of her way to check in on her a second time just to make sure she was safe. I 100% trust and recommend Cindy!!”


“I can’t say enough great things about Audrey, our amazing pet sitter for Coco! From the very beginning, Audrey has been reliable, punctual, and incredibly responsive whenever I need to get in touch. She follows all of my instructions with care and attention to detail. What really sets Audrey apart is how engaged and loving she is with Coco. She takes the time to play with her and makes sure she feels comfortable and happy. I especially appreciate the daily photo updates and notes about Coco’s activities—it's so important when I'm away. Audrey is truly a gem, and I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust completely with my pet. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and attentive caregiver.”


“Jamie was so great with my cat! She took time to play with her favorite toys and even just lounge around for cuddles. Jamie provided great updates every day and made me feel extremely comfortable leaving the country knowing she was taking care of Eleanor. I will definitely be booking with her again!!”


“Alanna was fantastic! She was great at communicating before and during the drop-ins and sent detailed report cards and photos of my cat every day. Mittens has separation anxiety so it was great to have peace of mind knowing Alanna was dropping in to show him some love each day. I would definitely rebook with her in the future!”


“Elizabeth is wonderful! She went far and beyond when my cat Tigger was sick. She took excellent care of him. Even water my plants while I was on vacation. Highly recommend her for cat or house sitter.”


“Ame did amazing with my puppy with cute updated pictures and info on how she did during the drop in. I could tell my puppy had a good time and got her energy out. I would definitely recommend and book again!”


“Savannah did a great job with drop-in visits for my cat! She responded quickly and communicated clearly over text, she followed all care instructions to a tee, and she even went the extra mile by watering my plants and bringing in packages. My cat, Tonks, seemed to warm up to her very quickly, and Savannah seems to give her just the right combination of attention and space. I appreciated the reports and pics from each of her visits. Would happily use her services again and recommend!”


“Tracie took care of my pups while I was on a short 4 day vacation which was planned over 6 months ago. I have 2 Boston terrier dogs, Bev & Mandy, age 5 & 6. I had another Boston, Penny, who had a gran mal seizure on February 13 and is in heaven. Penny & Bev were like sisters, so Bev missed Penny a lot & I did also, so I decided an adopt a new dog for us. I adopted Bev through the Mid West Boston Rescue group, so I contacted them. They had a list of available dogs with a review of each pup. I saw a listing for Amanda AKC name who we named Mandy. Mandy was rescued from an an amish puppy mill. I felt immediate compassion for Mandy and I decided to adopt her. She was so scared. We had Mandy for a month before I could touch her. I got a trainer who started working with us. Then it was time for this long planned vacation to Florida with my son & family. I knew Mandy would be devastated to go to a dog kennel. Then I found Rover & Tracie. I read Tracie’s listing. Then we talked and then came over to our house. I gave you this long story so you know that Tracie was willing to help take care of Mandy & Bev Each day at 8 am & 5 pm I get a photos and a text from Tracie about her experience with Mandy. Mandy has improved so much with Tracie’s loving care. Mandy had just learned to walk with leash. Tracie takes the pups for a walk twice. She gives me detailed reports. Mandy is not so scared and improved so much. She still has to be be carried outside for her walk. I enjoyed my short vacation due to Tracie’s wonderful care. I am so grateful. I highly recommend Tracie. Thanks”


About: I have been dogsitting for +8 years for friends, family members and dear Rover clients. You will read from some testimonials that I can be trustworthy with their pet(s), so much so that they have referred me to other friends and families. I work full-time near downtown 10-6 on Tuesdays-Fridays and from home Mondays, however there is flexibility throughout the week. I have evenings and weekends generally open to care for your pet with my full attention! I usually care for pets in the comfort of their home! At this time, I, unfortunately, cannot host pets in my home - though this may change at a later time.

“Caitlyn did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away. She was very kind with her, and left detailed updates and pictures each day. I would definitely book her again!”


“Sara did a great job with my dog, Eddie. She was very flexible and tried her best to work with the timeframes I needed. She sent cute pics and followed all of my instructions for Eddie.”


About: I grew up with dogs and cats and now have two cats of my own with my fiancé. I love long walks around Upper Arlington and would be thrilled to bring your pup along! Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’ll treat your pet like family. I recently graduated PA school and don’t start my job until November so my schedule is completely available and I am flexible. I like to wake up early and go on long walks around the UA parks and neighborhoods. In your home, I follow your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free — feeding at their normal times, making sure they always have fresh water, going for walks or play sessions, and giving lots of love and attention. I’m happy to handle any special instructions, whether that’s giving medication, following a specific diet, or keeping to certain walking routes.

“We're so grateful of Jenna being able to drop in and take care of Albie! Jenna took great photos and gave us detailed information of her visits that we knew that Albie had a great time. We will definitely be requesting Jenna's Rover Services again ☺️”


About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, including my two playful Labradors who keep me on my toes daily. I’ve also provided loving care for senior dogs, making sure they get the extra patience and attention they need — whether it’s slow strolls, administering medications, or just lots of cuddles. I work remotely so I can pop by throughout the day on my breaks. Depending on location it can be several times throughout the day. I can play with your dog in the yard, take them for a walk, feed them breakfast, lunch, or dinner—whatever they need to feel happy and cared for. I can also crate them if needed.

“Taylor was absolutely amazing with my 14-year-old Cavapoo, Douggie! She was so gentle and patient with him, which meant the world to me since he’s a senior pup who needs a little extra TLC. Taylor kept me updated with photos and messages, and I could tell Douggie felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. It’s not easy to find someone you trust with an older dog, but Taylor exceeded all expectations. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! Highly recommend!”
Upper Arlington pet parents share their Rover experiences
Madison was AMAZING!! It was my first time leaving my cat alone, I was so nervous but Madison sent me so many updates and pictures. She worked with me to trade off my keys since I only have one set and was so attentive to my cat’s needs. I will definitely be booking with her again and I recommend her to anyone on here!!

Ame was amazing! Not only did I love her but so did my animals! She paid attention to any and all details, sent lots of updates and pictures, and was great with communication. I felt super comfortable leaving my furbabies in her care and allowing her in our home. 11/10 could not recommend enough!!’

Lauren is the best cat sitter ever! I can’t say enough good things about her. We had to find a sitter last minute while being out of the country. Lauren was fast to respond putting our minds at ease. She played with the cats and wrote thoughtful notes in the rover card. She treated my cats with so much love, i’m sure they had a blast! She went above and beyond in every way. So thoughtful and so kind. Thank you again Lauren!

Repeat client here! Malorie is fantastic and I am always so happy when she is available to take care of our cat. She takes time to send pictures and updates too. I can see that he brought out his favorite toy to play with her during her visits this week which was cute!

Kiersten is a great pet sitter! She was attentive and kind. We ran into a problem midway through my trip where my key got stuck in the lock and emergency maintaince needed to be called. She was flexible and understanding during the process and went above and beyond to ensure my animals were still well taken care of. Thank you!

Jean was the best person to watch over our puppy while we enjoyed a weekend away. She was able to pick up on short notice during a holiday weekend & took funny photos along the way. Jean truly went above and beyond for us and our puppy. I will be requesting her everytime!!! We love Jean and so does Copper!!!
