“Abigail was incredible for my last minute request. She sent so many pictures, communicated clearly and frequently, and reassured me my girls were taken care of. I would recommend her for any pet sitting job!”
“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!”
“Elizabeth and Joe did an absolutely fantastic job with Haley. They gave her attention and kept her occupied with their two dogs. She was not quite 9 months old at the time of her stay so I know it was not an easy task. Thank you!”
“While I was off on my own adventure, my little cosmic explorer Fox Fox stayed behind—and thank the stars for Kelly, the absolute guardian of galaxies when it comes to pet care! Kelly didn’t just watch Fox Fox—she nurtured, played, snuggled, and ensured every little tail wag and quirky fox dance was met with love and attention. From detailed updates to sweet little photos, I always knew my fluffball was in the best hands in the universe. Coming home, I half expected Fox Fox to be wearing a cape and asking when Kelly was coming back. That’s the level of trust, care, and joy she brings. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pet like their own—with cosmic levels of kindness, responsibility, and heart—Kelly is your girl!🐾”
About: I grew up with dogs, cats and horses. I've taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was ten years old. Currently I own a cat but am comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I am free on evenings during the week and day time and evenings on most weekends. I am in Columbus for most holidays and here to help you enjoy your time away knowing your pet is well taken care of. My home is not sized to fit other animals but I have a car and am happy to drive to your house to take care of your pet
“Kaci was great! My dogs loved her, and my two cats that don’t normally like each other cuddled up on her lap together. 🥺 so she definitely brings along good vibes. She sent lots of pictures of my babies and kept me updated with their care. Absolutely will ask her to watch them again.”
“Caitlyn was so wonderful with our reactive dog!!! She kept us constantly updated and clearly loved our dog while we were away. I book on rover all the time and Caitlyn was in the top tier. We will definitely use her again!”
“Sheridan did an amazing job watching my dog! She was kind, communicative, and punctual. She house-sat while I was in the process of moving, and she was flexible and accommodating. Thank you Sheridan!!”
“Rachael did an excellent job house sitting/watching our two boys (cats)! She was a fantastic communicator and sent us lot of pictures. Our apartment was spotless when we returned and our cats warmed right up to her. We will definitely rebook!”
“Ashly was literally the best!! We was able to go on vacation and not stress about our fur babies. We got multiple updates and photos daily which I love and the dogs looked so happy. She even took them to the park twice!! We can’t say enough good things about Ashly. If you are looking for someone to care and love your fur baby as you do she is your girl!!!”
“Doug was an excellent communicator. He left our house clean and our dog happy. He sent us photos and updates, and quickly responded to my texts. He even offered to stop back over when we were running behind.”
About: Children and pets are the whole that fills my heart and they are my precious family member. I promise to treat them such. I’ve had a dog for over 20 years. As well as I’ve been pet sitting for over 12+ years now. Would love to help out!!! I’m currently transitioning jobs in life right now, so very free flexible and can stay home with them all day every day!! and give them the priority and care and attention. They deserve. Boarding in your home or my home is the same promise and that is of safety, love and positivity trove energy! their needs being taken care of and playing with them and until their heart’s content.
“Miss Penny was so professional and personal right from the beginning. She took such great care of our pups and sent tons of pictures. I will absolutely ask Miss Penny to watch our doggos again, and I would recommend her to anyone confidently.”
“Judith did an excellent job! So nice to go on vacation and not have to worry about whether my fur babies are being cared for properly. My dogs loved her! Will definitely use her in the future.”
“We are so thankful to Rachel for taking great care of our senior pup at our home while we were on vacation, especially during a big winter storm. She was communicative and proactive with any questions that came up, will definitely reach out to her again.”
“Justin was amazing! I’m so grateful he took such great care of my baby Nittany. She’s on multiple seizure medications, so I needed someone truly reliable to give them on time, and Justin absolutely delivered. He even kept a close eye on her sneaky ways of trying to avoid them (not surprised, lol)! I would 100% book with Justin again and recommend him to everyone on this app. Thank you, Justin!”
“Riley was an excellent dog sitter! She provided me lots of great updates throughout the time I was away and gave my pups lots of love and attention. She kept my house clean and was ultra responsible, asking any questions she may not have had the answers to. Would definitely recommend Riley!”
Urbancrest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Megan and Matt were absolutely the best and went above and beyond at every step of the way. This was our 1st time using Rover and we feel so lucky to have found Megan and Matt. Our 2 pups loved staying with them for the weekend and it was clear that they had so much fun. The communication before and during could not be better. We have one dog who is on meds being treated for cancer and Matt and Megan handled the variety of meds expertly and kept us informed of every step. And they sent great pictures that warmed our hearts. We will definitely be using them again the next time we have to be away.
Abigail was fantastic! We know our kiddos were loved while we were gone, you can see it in their faces… plus the fun videos were enjoyed by the entire family while away. She made us feel comfortable and at ease knowing our kiddos were being cared for by someone who loves animals. Definitely will be using Abigail again! Thanks lady, from our fam, both fuzzy and not😊🐾🐶🧑🧑🧒🧒
Samantha was wonderful with my sweet boy cat! He loved her on their first introduction. His care is a handful with twice a day medicine dosings, and she was always consistent and kind. She did little extras for me, like taking my trash out. She sent pictures and kept in communication throughout our time away. I highly recommend her and plan of rebooking for my next trip!
Sami was absolutely amazing from start to finish! Before the pet sitting even began, she took the time to come over for a meet and greet, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with animals—our pets took to her right away! While we were away, Sami house sat and cared for our fur babies as if they were her own. She sent frequent photo updates and messages, which made us feel incredibly reassured and connected. It was clear from the pictures that our pets were happy, relaxed, and enjoying their time with her. On top of caring for the animals, she was respectful of our home and left everything just as we had it. We truly felt like our pets and our space were in the best hands possible. I would absolutely recommend Sami to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Corinne has sat for us 3 weekends in a row and did a awesome job taking care of our pups!! She took care of our home as well when one of our dogs had a couple of accidents in the house she cleaned it up and shampooed the carpet. We will definitely have her sit for us again, if our dogs didn’t scare here away lol 😝
