“Lyndsey is absolutely AMAZING! She had so much patience with our girls and took such good care of them . Lyndsey took the utmost care of our home. She is a wonderful, responsible, kind person with a great heart!”

“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!”

“Sheridan was great watching our two dogs and cat at our house while we were gone! She even came over a week early to meet us and the dogs which we really appreciated. She was very communicative, sending great pics every day where we were gone. Will definitely reach out to her for future sitting needs!”

“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!”

“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!”

About: I've been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember! I helped take care of my family dog growing up, dog sat overnight for friends and neighbors throughout high school, and in college I cared for service dogs in training through both short-term days and longer stays lasting multiple weeks. I've worked with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and needs. I've watched and walked many dogs for friends and family over the years, and I've become a go-to pet sitter for many people in my life because they know their dogs will be safe, loved, and well cared for. Honestly, what sets me apart is that I genuinely want to be there. I absolutely love dogs and am the person who gets excited every time I see one. Spending time with dogs never feels like a chore to me, it's something I truly enjoy. Along with that, I'm very responsible and understand that owners trust me with a member of their family. I take that seriously by following care instructions carefully, maintaining routines, and paying attention to each dog's individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I'm currently a graduate student studying Speech-Language Pathology, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. Some days I have classes or clinic responsibilities with breaks in the middle of the day, while other days I have much more open availability. I'm often available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care during weekdays, and I'm typically available on weekends as well. I do my best to keep my calendar updated so owners know exactly when I'm available, and I'm happy to communicate about scheduling needs in advance. I prioritize making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in whatever environment works best for them. I am happy to provide regular walks, outdoor time, playtime, and plenty of attention. Whether your dog enjoys long walks to burn off energy, shorter strolls at a slower pace, or lots of sniff breaks, I'm happy to tailor activities to their needs and routine. I understand that many dogs are most comfortable in their own homes, so I'm very open to drop-in visits and overnight stays in your home once we've had a chance to meet and ensure it's a good fit for everyone. I'm a responsible and detail-oriented caregiver who follows owners' instructions closely, whether that involves feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, training expectations, or any other special needs. I live in an apartment and do not have a fenced yard, so its probably best for me to come to the pup! I make sure dogs receive plenty of exercise, enrichment, and supervised outdoor time. My goal is to maintain your dog's normal routine as much as possible so they feel happy, secure, and well cared for.
“Miriam did a fantastic job taking care of goose and Delta. She was reliable, on time, and fantastic with communication. Set my mind at ease while I was away! I would happily refer her to anyone who needs a dog or pet sitter and will definitely be using her again!”

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 have tons of experience with different pet needs and am happy to meet accommodations that make your pet happiest!
“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!”

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.
“Did a wonderful job house sitting for my 4 dogs! Was very responsive and sent pictures/videos for us. I felt like she was very reliable and followed all instructions I had for each of my dogs.”

“Jessica watched our two golden retrievers for us at our house for the weekend, and she did a great job! The boys looked so happy in all the photos she sent and she helped bring in some unexpected packages for us as well. I would absolutely recommend Jessica to watch your pets and your home.”

What you can expect from me: - Excellent care of your pet - An immense attention to detail - Daily photo updates - Quick responses - Flexible scheduling - Warmth and a passion for great pet care!

“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!! 🩷🩷”

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.
Upper Arlington pet parents share their Rover experiences
Malorie and her husband Nico are absolutely amazing! Georgia was spoiled during their stay with her. They are wonderful communicators and exceeded all of Georgia’s needs. They took great care of my home and the left the place just as I did. I will definitely be reaching out to them for future stays!

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!

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!

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.
