“Shanelle was amazing with Brownie! She took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which really gave me peace of mind. I could tell he was in loving, capable hands. Highly recommend her!”

About: Growing up on a farm taught me to care for all animals with gentleness and respect. I have eperience training our puppy who is now 3 years old. I am all about rewards for positive behavior! I work remotely as an artist and I am a stay at home mom! My week days are very flexible since I make my own schedule. I am available Monday-Saturday anytime from 8-5, unless otherwise noted. I play interactive games with our dog and love taking her on long walks. Fun exercise is so good for dogs! I will do the same for your pups as I do my own.

About: I believe in treating every pup as my own! From pet-safe crafts to movie nights to trips to the dog park near my house; they will have a great time here. Please let me know if you would prefer for your dog(s) to have minimal physical activity or exercise. I’ve had dogs my entire life and was responsible learning how to care for them at a young age. I have some grooming experience as well. I am currently studying full time at home for the LSAT and will apply to law school this year! Rover has paved the way for me to pursue my passion for animal care and helped me to begin saving to pay for application fees. My open availability allows me to have flexibility and be at home to provide quality care for your dog(s) over 85 percent of the time. Please ask me about the possibility of a free trial night :) I have one friendly dog that would love to play but can be separated if needed. My dog is very well behaved and house trained.

“Jordyn was incredibly friendly professional and responsive! My dog seemed to have a great week with her and came home calm and happy :) We would definitely book with her again in a heartbeat!”


“Thank you so much, Katie!!! You were our first puppy care experience and I’m so grateful for how wonderful you are. Bluebell had so much fun and was so well cared for.”


About: Hi there! I’m Amy, a lifelong dog lover and dog mom to Riley, a sweet and sensitive 3 year old Mini Australian Shepherd. I’m from the DC area, lived in NYC and Philly after college, and moved to Columbus in fall of 2024 with my partner Jake. We live in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath house on the border of Victorian Village and Harrison West. We both work from home and have a fenced backyard, so your dog will have plenty of space to explore and lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your pup is playful or prefers alone time, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and loved. One of the reasons I started doing Rover is because I wanted to find friends for Riley to spend time with during the day. He enjoys playing with dogs who are around his size (30lb) or smaller. I’m excited to meet your pup and would love to set up a meet-and-greet to learn all about their unique personality and needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m home the majority of the day, so I’m able to provide plenty of attention and potty breaks. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment. I’m mindful of each dog’s personality and I follow their usual routines as closely as possible to help them feel at ease.

“Andrew was a wonderful sitter! This was the first time I’ve ever used Rover for Doggy Day Care and it was such a positive experience. Andrew was flexible with us, as we were traveling to and from Cedar Point. He took Piper on several fun, long walks. He lives in a beautiful area, perfect for a pup to relax and also to enjoy nature. He sent pictures and was responsive with updates. I highly recommend him and would definitely rebook.”

About: Hello! My name is Siri and I have been taking care of animals my whole life. I have lots of experience with cats, dogs, and even lizards! I grew up with large dogs (newfoundlands, to be exact) so they don't scare me away. I am very active so I am more than happy to run with your dog too if you'd prefer a more active walk for them! I raised my own dog from puppyhood and have personally crate trained her, potty trained her, and taught her 15+ tricks/commands. I work from home Mondays and Fridays and I am in the office from 8am - 5pm) Tues-Thurs. I usually take breaks during my work from home days to walk/play with the animals. I have a water carrier/bowl combo bottle for dogs if they get thirsty during their walk, and I also keep treats on me to work on any leash reactivity (using positive reinforcement training). My own dog gets walked four times a day. My cat has a water fountain and lots of toys. The litterboxes are cleaned daily and deep cleaned once a month. My cat is fed on a schedule (once in the morning and once in the evening) but I am happy to accomodate any feeding preferences for my clients pets.

About: While I didn’t grow up around animals, in adulthood, I’ve discovered a new love - pets! I’ve cared for dogs for over 2 years now, including my own aussidoodle, Alfi! 🐶 I’ve also dog-sat and boarded pups for neighbors, including extended periods with enough advance notice. I can handle energetic dogs or senior pups who prefer to chill, give baths, and love walks. My complex has 2 decent sized dog parks, perfect for safe playtime with or without other dogs! I currently work from home 4/5 days a week and travel an hour each way on Wednesday to go into an office. Wednesday typically won’t work unless I have 1 week notice, I can flex my days. I can take care of the pets in the morning before work, on lunch/ breaks, and after - which is where the park and walks come into play 😀 while working from home, I’d make sure they have water and love! In my home, you can expect your pet to get lots of attention & playtime! I take dogs to one of two dog parks where I live (pretty private and lowkey) - this can be solo or with neighbor dogs I know, depending on their & your comfort level & personality. I consider myself a good reader of dog interactions, and always opt on the side of caution! Baths would be done in my spare tub with Earthbath products or your own and walks are tailored to your dog’s pace & needs. I aim to create a calm, safe, and fun environment and communication ahead of time is key. 🗝️

“This was not our first experience with doggy daycare, but it was by far the best! Lynn & Jeff were so sweet and accommodated a last minute booking for me and my pup, Rue.

Lynn & Jeff very obviously love animals and made me and Rue feel comfortable. Rue left happy and exhausted! Highly recommend Lynn & Jeff :)”

Amy B.Star Sitter
“Amy B has experience with a variety of animals. She grew up on a farm and has worked with cattle, horses, dogs, cats, sheep, and chickens. Amy is a current dog owner and I have never doubted the safety or well-being of her dog. She has a fenced in yard with room for a dog to enjoy time in and outside. Growing up on a farm taught Amy the value of animal life and the responsibility of caring for animals. She is a dedicated wife and mother and values life. She is confident but not cocky. She is not afraid of hard work. I have witnessed Amy care for her pet by taking her to dog parks, on walks, playing with her, keeping her groomed, and making sure she is watched by a responsible person when she and her family are out of town. I have benefited from knowing Amy personally and would recommend her as a dog walker or sitter to anyone.”

Emma H.
“Emma has always taken incredible care of my dachshund during both short and long periods of time. She treats him exactly as she would treat her own dog and is willing to accommodate any special requests. Emma, above all, is incredibly compassionate and cares very deeply about all the animals she watches. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to watch my dog and I can’t wait to see the bonds she makes with new dogs! I really can’t recommend her enough!”

Aysenur did such a great job for my Maltese pup daycare. She quickly responded to my request and the communication with her was so easy. Aysenur has a nice clean room in a nice neighborhood. My dog was already missing her when we were leaving her place. Highly recommended!
