“I was very nervous about leaving my cats alone for a long time, and this was my first time trying Rover. I reached out to Leann to watch my two cats with shorter notice, and she was very responsive and friendly. She did a great job of making sure my cats were taken care of when I was out of town for a week! She also sent adorable pics and updates of them after checking in. I'll definitely book with her again and I'd highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a great cat sitter! 🙂”


“It was so nice to be able to enjoy a day out and know that my dog was taken care of just how I would! He got a nice walk, dinner, play time, and I received plenty of pictures. I really appreciate how kind and great at communicating Taylor is and would definitely have her look after my dog again!”

“Anna stopped by out home twice a day to give our cat her insulin shots. We were worried because our cat is a bit skittish, but Anna was great! Our cat came out for her for pets and love and got her shots each day without issue. Highly recommend Anna!”

“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”

“Cindy made my first time using Rover an stress-free experience. I love my cat and I’m always terrified having people that I don’t know watch him. Cindy from the start was so nice and she made sure that he would be taken care of while I was away. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“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.”

“Abby is the best. She took such great care of our pets. And they loved her. The pictures were great. And she kept us up to date on everything. I absolutely love Abby.”

“Rachel was absolutely wonderful with my 3 month old puppy, Olive! She came to our home twice on Tuesday for an hour long visit each time, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Rachel was incredibly attentive—she took Olive outside, spent lots of time playing with her, and even worked on teaching her new commands. It was clear that Rachel truly loves animals and took amazing care of my sweet girl. Olive had a great time and got both the exercise and mental stimulation she needed. I would absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and great with dogs!”

“Vanessa did a great job taking care of my cat Lucy while I was away for a few days. I appreciated the pictures she sent during her visits. I would recommend her to other pet parents.”

About: I grew up with two dogs we got as puppies that I helped train and take care of my whole life. One of my dogs lived until she was 16 years old with limited hearing and vision. I helped my mom take care of her into her old age. I recently rescued two stray cats and have learned how to take great care of kitties as well! My mom fosters kittens and I will often help her out when she needs it as well. My friends also ask me to watch their dogs or cats while they are out of town! I have learned that we are everything to our pets so I will do whatever I need to make sure they are happy because they are everything to me as well! I currently work full time 8-5 on weekdays. I am free on weekends anytime to help take care of your pet! I will be available Friday evening- Sunday evening. I always make sure my kitties have a clean space and clean water every day. I feed them very well and usually spoil them with toys, treats, and cuddles! I’m always looking for new ways to engage my kitties and make sure they are happy healthy!
“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!”

“Emma was amazing with my cat, Toast! She was communicative, reliable, and even stayed extra some nights to give him more cuddles and attention. I felt completely comfortable trusting her with my home and pet, and I'd definitely recommend her to others.”

“Shelly is very good with our aggressive cat. She follows our directions and we feel comfortable leaving our pet in her care while we're away. I would definitely use her services again. Thank you Shelly.”

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.
Upper Arlington pet parents share their Rover experiences
It was so nice to be able to enjoy a day out and know that my dog was taken care of just how I would! He got a nice walk, dinner, play time, and I received plenty of pictures. I really appreciate how kind and great at communicating Taylor is and would definitely have her look after my dog again!

While not an expectation, Melanie was able to add on one day with less than 12 hours notice because I got stranded in Chicago when my flight was cancelled! She has checked on my kitties millions of times and I would always recommend her, but really appreciated her willingness to help on short notice this time. ❤️

Emma was amazing with my cat, Toast! She was communicative, reliable, and even stayed extra some nights to give him more cuddles and attention. I felt completely comfortable trusting her with my home and pet, and I'd definitely recommend her to others.

Amber truly went above and beyond for my cat! She was so communicative and was flexible when some circumstances in my apartment complex required her to come earlier or later than planned. She sent me great photos and I had such a sense of peace that she was there to take care of my cat. I could tell my cat truly enjoyed her stopping by. I would book with Amber again in a heartbeat!
