“Anita is fabulous. She is promot in her communication and reliable in her follow through. She is caring and takes care of our buddy like her own. She has been helping us with his care for last two years. I can not say enough positive things about her.”

“Jennifer was really assuring through the process of using rover for the first time! She provided a lot of pictures and details and did things I forgot to ask for, like refilling my dog’s water bowl. I felt really comfortable with her walking my dog and am happy knowing he got some extra care and attention!”

About: I grew up with dogs and currently have two cats that I treat like my own children! I’ve done petsitting for years for both cats and dogs of various breeds. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets, having me feed them, walk their dogs, spend time with their cats, and keep litter boxes tidy. I work full-time and have a hybrid schedule, so I have flexibility on days I work from home and weekends. I can spend the day at your home or drop in as needed, but due to having pets of my own, can’t always do overnight stays. Since I live in a small apartment with two cats, I can’t bring your pet to stay with me. Instead, I’m more than happy to drop in periodically or spend the day at your home, making sure your pets are happy, fed, and get some social interaction!

“Payton is always on time and looks after the girls like they are her own. Since I have chihuahuas they typically don’t like to walk too far so she sits with them after they go potty to fill up the time. Another great walk/sitting!”

“Vanessa has been our dog walker for almost a year. She is professional, communicate & make sure your energetic pup gets the exercise he needs! I very highly recommend Vanessa for any of your pets needs!”


About: I have had pets my whole life, including dogs and horses. I currently own two dogs and one horse. I have trained 3 dogs, and I have also spent tons of time around cats even though I have never owned one. I have a passion for animals and making sure they are properly loved and cared for to ensure they get as much happiness in their lives as they give us, and I would love to give your pet that little extra bit of care that you are searching for! I am home from college for the summer, so I have a very free schedule to ensure your pet gets all the care they need! I am available pretty much 24/7. I do everything in my power to ensure pets are happy and comfortable, so whatever that may look like for your pet I am happy to accommodate, whether this means they need walked, played with, fed, crated, attention, medications, etc.. I have tons of experience with different pet needs and am happy to meet accommodations that make your pet happiest!
“Isabel was very flexible. My address was in rover incorrectly and she made the effort to still complete the walk with my dog. Not to mention she also grabbed our package from our old apartment. She went above and beyond.”

“Elizabeth is amazing. Extremely reliable, prompt communication and easily handles any obstacle. Highly recommended and very trustworthy. I selfishly hope others don't find her so she is always available...”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and can't imagine life without them. Growing up with dogs taught me how to care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Today, I'm a proud Golden Retriever owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. Over the years, I've regularly helped friends and family care for their dogs, whether that meant walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or simply providing companionship while they were away. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide dependable care. As a nurse, my schedule varies throughout the week. On the days I'm working, I'm generally unavailable for pet care. However, I have approximately four days each week completely free, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and pet sitting on my days off, and I'm especially happy to care for dogs during long weekends when my schedule allows. Because I know my work schedule in advance, I can communicate availability clearly and ensure your pet receives reliable, attentive care. When I'm with your pet, they will have my full attention, and I'll do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and happy while you're away. Pets staying in my home will be treated like part of the family. While I do not have a fenced backyard, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise and enrichment through multiple daily walks, outdoor time on leash, play sessions, and lots of attention throughout the day. My Golden Retriever, Olive, will also be present during stays. She is friendly, social, and loves having canine companions to play with. Of course, I always prioritize safety and will ensure that all introductions are done thoughtfully and that every dog is comfortable. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply relaxing in a home environment, I'll work to maintain their routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and my goal is to provide a safe, loving, and fun home away from home.
“Morgan is excellent and she does a great job with Pablo! Her communication is excellent, and she is always on time and very friendly with Pablo. I highly recommend her.”

“Taylor has been very helpful. She has come and walked our very energetic dog on a weekly basis and I have had 0 difficulties getting ahold of her or getting feedback about how everything went. She is very sweet and a great choice for your pet!”

About: 👋Hi I’m Annie! I have grown up with dogs and currently have a 3.5 year old black lab named Tank. 🐕🦺 Tank is a good boy and plays extremely well with other dogs but also is happy sleeping or chewing a bone on his own. This comes as no surprise as he is actually a failed guide dog - failed after getting startled by loud noises! In my wider family, we have a range of dog sizes, personalities, rescues, and breeder dogs…meaning I have a lot of experience with lots of different doggie backgrounds. I am confident in my ability to quickly learn how your dog(s) interact with other dogs, animals, and humans. All dogs have different needs. I will accommodate your personal and pup’s lifestyle preferences, whether that is more active or a more relaxed day. I also strive to keep up with any ongoing training so your pup doesn’t fall behind while you are away 🏠 I work from home full time, so this allows me the flexibility to build my schedule around the attention and enrichment your dog may need. What a typical daycare looks like: - Sniff and playtime with Tank 🤝🐽 - Weather dependent - at least 1 walk, which your dog is welcome to join or not 🐾☀️🚶🏻♀️ - A choice of ropes, kongs, squeaky, plush, and ball toys to play with 🎾🪢🧸 - A variety of treats (as allowed) including probiotics, dental chews, nubz, milk bone, and frozen peanut butter treats / kongs 🦴🥜 - For relaxed pups, they are welcome to chill out on the furniture or dog beds around the house or next to me while I work 💤🛋️ - Weekend daycare will include a trip to the dog park weather & owner permitting Please read further below about schedule and other info! I am in a permanent work from home role with flexible hours. I will do my best to fit around you / your pet’s schedule but of course if something clashes, this will be outlined prior to booking :) Currently, I typically cafe for your pets in my own home. I strive to make your pets feel most normal while you are away and follow any rules you have set. If your dog is allowed on the couch, fine by me. If not, that is great as well. I will work closely with you to ensure I understand what is best for the dog and how to provide care that is as seamless as possible. I will provide detailed notes (or texts if preferred) of my time spent with your furry loved one and of course pictures galore (if requested).

About: Over the course of my childhood, my family and I never had less than 2 dogs at a time. I have dog sat a handful of times, both for multiple nights or just fun play dates! I offer gentle, loving, and smiley fun for your awesome dog! I want you and your dog(s) to feel confident that I am a safe, kind choice! I am pursuing my doctorate’s in Occupational Therapy at OSU! I am free Friday and Saturday, with occasional class requirements. These are great days for me to care for your dog! While I won’t be offering services at my apartment, I believe in safety, love, and respect for you and your pets while I care for them. It can be scary trusting your dog with someone new, but by growing up with many dogs myself I can assure you that I embody those beliefs in my care.

Laila was an exceptional dog sitter for us! She has great communication and is so thorough about understanding our dog’s needs and routines.
