“We needed someone to watch a very active 1.5yr old Brittany, and we are really picky about who watches our animals. Sandra was recommended and boarding with her and Mark was the best experience ever. Missy’s stay with them was literally a doggy vacation with a Giant yard to play in, long walks, huge professional kennel for her to lounge in, and, picture/video updates every day! They even have a TV in the temperature controlled kennel space so our girl could listen to tv like she is used to at our house. I look forward to using them again. They are a bit of a drive for me but I will use them every time over trying any of the 15 closer results rover showed me. It is well worth the peace of mind knowing that your dogs are being pampered not just boarded.”
“Donald took excellent care of Rani while we were away. He shared updates frequently with photos which our family appreciated very much. He cares for our pet like they are his own. We can tell she was given a lot of love. We have already rebooked Donald for Rani for her next stay, that should say it! Thank you, Donald.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ms. Catherine was absolutely wonderful with Francois and Girbaud! From the moment we met her, I could tell she had a genuine love for animals and a calm, nurturing spirit that immediately put the boys at ease. She went above and beyond every step of the way—sending adorable photo updates, keeping me informed, and making sure they were comfortable, entertained, and well cared for the entire time. When I got home, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and delightfully tired—which to any dog parent means they had a great time! It’s clear she gave them plenty of exercise, play, and affection. Ms. Catherine treated them as if they were her own, and I truly appreciate her kindness, patience, and reliability. I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who’s attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely loves what she does, Ms. Catherine is the one. Francois, Girbaud, and I are so grateful to have found her! 🐾❤️”
“Heather is amazing! Super welcoming and friendly. She was really prompt responding before and during the sitting. We got pictures without having to ask and our pup was obviously well taken care of. She’s highly qualified, would definitely use her services anytime and highly recommend!”
“Brian, his wife, and his home are the perfect place to board your dog. My dog Cali has felt right at home and couldn't be any more spoiled. The attention, energy, and love she recieved while staying with them couldn't have been more perfect. Their house was immaculate, the yard, and location is perfect. Brian is easy to communicate with and responsive and very flexible. I was going out of town for work and needed a place for my dog and wasn't sure how long I'd be gone. They were helpful and extending was easy. If you're looking for a loving home away from home you don't need to look any farther.”
“Sadie enjoyed her stay with Kaia & Desean…she is a very skiddish puppy and did incredibly well with them 😆 They sent a pic daily with an update, which was greatly appreciated!! We would highly recommend them to take great care of your beloved pet!!”
“I liked the fact that I was contacted promptly and was available on short notice. The meet and greet was great, a warm and loving atmosphere. I enjoyed that through Molly's stay i received pictures and updates on her. Molly truly enjoyed being there!”
“I was able to book with Casey last minute and she took great care of my Sweetie. When my cousin picked my dog up she said my dog was walking around like she was home and comfortable. I would definitely rebook and you should too.”
“Kara was amazing!! I know we made a great choice choosing her to watch over our fur baby while we were away. She communicated everyday with pictures and videos letting us know how he was doing. We will definitely be booking again with her real soon. Thank you for everything!! I would give 100 stars if I could.”
“Maddie was amazing! I got updates and pictures during my dog’s stay. She was attentive to his needs and worked with him to make sure he was comfortable throughout his stay”
“This was my first Rover experience and how amazing it was! Selau was able to help me board my 8 week old kitten last minute. She was great with communicating to book and along the way. I loved getting updates and pictures of my little girl too! It’s great to have someone who is kind and caring for our fur babies to help when we may have to step away! 10/10 and will certainly be back when I might need the help again! Best experience for me and my little kitten!🩷🫶🏻”
About: Here to make sure your 4 legged family feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and always do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel as comfortable and loved as possible. I work Monday–Friday, but my schedule can be flexible at times. If you need pet care but aren’t sure whether my schedule will fit your needs, feel free to message me! I’m always happy to help whenever I’m able. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups. I crate trained both of my dogs while they were potty training, so I also have a large crate available if that fits your pet’s needs.
“Matt did a fantastic job with our pets. Not only did he send daily pictures, he provided detailed description of their behavior. His experience as a dog trainer gave new insight and he even provided tips on how I can work with them on my own. His property is amazing and has plenty of space for the dogs to run, conveniently located in North Columbus. Highly recommend and will book again!”
“Pheebs had a great time with Lexi. I have never used this app before or actually left her with anyone other then family. Lexi put me at ease from them moment I met her. And boy did phoebe have a time. She has dogs herself which made phoebes stay even better. Play dates are her favorite. Lexi messaged me pictures and update on phoebe! I 100% recommend her to anyone”
“Megan is great! She has watched our doggies 3x in the last year. Our dogs have so much fun playing with her dogs. Megan is always quick to respond and super easy to work with! Highly recommended!”
“We feel like Laura and Spirit have become pals. Laura treats her like her furry roommate. We plan to leave Spirit with her anytime that it works out. She has a true love for and knowledge of dogs, that is very obvious in talking to her. We would highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”
“Great stay overall. Our dog is very well behaved and was doing very well living in the house. Then we got a call from the sitter's neighbor that found her roaming around the neighborhood (had my phone on the collar). Looks like she left the house while nobody was in. Apart from that, a great and welcoming host and a beautiful countryside.”

We will pick her first if there is availability in the future.”

About: I am a German Shepherd breeder, and have raised, trained and cared for dogs my entire life. I am able to keep your pet with my friendly play groups, or provide independent time. I am home almost every day for 90% of the day, so I'm always here to tend to the dogs and provide round the clock care for my own and my clients dogs. I have a fenced yard for dogs who get along with my other dogs, they can join our pre existing play groups. Independent walks and play can also be provided for the dogs less keen on making friends. I can do drop ins for any pets, furry, feathered or otherwise, but I am only able to board dogs 20+lbs at my home.
“Lindsay is awesome! This is the second time she has watched our cats while we were gone and I had so much peace of mind that they were okay because she kept me up to date and always sent pictures and videos. I would recommend her to anyone. Your babies will be well taken care of!”
About: I have grown up with multiple cats throughout my life. They are the sweetest and softest friend to have around. My cats over the years have been very different personalities so I have seen many. My cats have also had medical conditions so I am familiar with medication administration and particular requirements they may need.
About: Homeschool mom with a flexible schedule and love for animals! I treat every pet like part of the family—with patience, love, and gentle care. I’ve been around animals all my life.

Pet sitting fits beautifully into our daily rhythm, and your pets will be loved like part of our family. Being home most of the day lets us give extra attention to your babies! I’d be happy to help with pick-up and drop-off if needed. I’m flexible and can work around your schedule to make things easy for you and your pup! Just let me know the times that work best. We have a fenced-in yard, two sweet, friendly girl dogs, and one gentle elderly male dog. I’m home throughout the day, so your pet will have lots of love and attention.

“Really nice folks and great fence in setup. Less than 12 hour notice and they said yes to watching our girl for the day while we rafted and ziplined throigh whitewater express. Next time we pass through there’s fun activities and good people we’ll trust again”
“We boarded Arnie with Donald for 2 days and had a great experience. He responds immediately to requests and any questions and sent a lot of pictures to us of Arnie playing in his back yard. When we went to drop Arnie off the next day he was so excited to stay with Donald. Will be booking again!”
“Heather was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment I dropped my dog off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She was warm, friendly, and so communicative throughout the entire day. I received regular updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease and made me feel connected while I was away. My pup had an amazing time playing and clearly felt right at home in her care. It’s easy to see how much Heather loves what she does, and that energy really shines through. I’ll definitely be booking with her again—highly recommend her doggy daycare services to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment for their pets!”
About: Our dogs have always been family and I can't recall any time in my entire life when I haven't had a dog at my side, sometimes two or three. I've had dogs of all sizes and energy levels. The longest boarding was for two months while the pup parent traveled in Asia. I've had dogs on my small ranch in NV and we rode trails together. They moved with me to CO and we enjoyed the mountains and front range together. I drove cross-country many times with my dogs, stayed in hotels and visited friends and family with them. My dogs are always a priority in all we do and I will care for your pups as I do mine. Be assured that I will follow any special instructions you give to provide your pet a safe, happy, stress-free stay. I recently rescued a deaf puppy who was in the middle of the road, and took care of her until a new, loving home was secured. I checked on her later and she is happy with her people and dog family. I am retired and always home. I spend my days gardening, cooking, squirrel and bird-watching, helping at church, and making greeting cards. My two dogs are with me the entire day. We will give your pup lots of company and love. I prefer to sit for one client at a time and max two dogs at a time. I look forward to meeting you and your pups. It's a good day any day that you meet new friends with fur. They bring joy to life. I have a 1/2 acre and a huge fenced yard for play and romping. Your dog will not be put outside for any length of time without my oversight. I am frequently out in the yard, relaxing, weeding, planting and pruning. Safety is number one and focused, pleasant care are my priorities. I want to be sure that the pups have my undivided attention. My two small dogs and I will give your pup lots of company assuring that he or she is acclimated and gets to know us. Our home is comfortable and happy. Does your pup enjoy endless belly rubs? Mine do and I have plenty to share. I prefer to sit for one client and max two dogs at a time. Photos of your pup's day are provided, if requested. I feed my dogs twice a day and give them one treat after their meals. I will feed your dogs at the time of day you prefer. We will only give your pup treats that you provide. I will follow your feeding schedule and administer meds if needed. My early career was 20 years as a hospital clinical laboratory scientist and then as a director. I've medicated my dogs and horses and given shots, so I know all the techniques needed to administer meds for your dog. Be assured, I recognize a dog's body language if in pain, stressed, or sick and will notify you immediately of any serious issues. I will follow your instructions if vet services are needed. My senior dog, Vivvie requires a special diet, so I make homemade dog food, veterinarian approved. No table scraps for her or for dogs in my care.
“Lexie is awesome! I felt totally comfortable coming in from out of town and being able to drop my dog at her home during my stay in Columbus. She has two very sweet dogs that were kind to Droopy and a fenced in back yard. I highly recommend.”
About: Hi! I’m Alexis, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so I know they aren’t “just pets”, they’re family. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and cuddly, or somewhere in between. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and to care for them just as I would my own. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry best friend, so I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages to give you peace of mind. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup and become someone you can trust whenever you need a helping hand! I'm a recent college graduate so I am home fulltime and have more than enough time available to love on your fur baby! There is nothing better than having furbaby love! I do not have a fenced in backyard but will be more than happy to take your furry baby on a walk, welcome them into my apartment and/or drop in and see how they are doing!
About: Hi, I’m Amanda! I have several years of professional experience working with dogs in boarding and daycare environments, with a strong focus on behavior, safety, and low-stress handling. I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs, administering medications, following special routines, and working with dogs that benefit from a calmer environment. My background has taught me the importance of understanding each dog’s individual needs and adjusting care accordingly. I also carry pet care insurance in addition to Rover’s protections and believe in clear, honest communication so owners can feel confident while they’re away. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I work from home, which allows me to spend the majority of my day with the dogs in my care rather than being away at a traditional 9-to-5 job. My schedule is built around feeding routines, walks, enrichment, potty breaks, cleaning, and individual attention. While I occasionally leave for errands or appointments, dogs are not routinely left alone for a full workday. I provide care in a calm, structured home environment designed to help dogs feel safe and comfortable while away from home. Dogs are supervised, managed thoughtfully, and given appropriate opportunities for activity and rest throughout the day. I prioritize low-stress handling, safe management practices, and predictable routines that help dogs settle in successfully. Each dog’s care is adjusted based on their age, temperament, energy level, and individual needs.
“Samantha and her family provided exceptional service and an unwavering love for others. They truly are a wonderful family. Their selfless sacrifice to ensure others can travel without worry is truly a blessing. Thank you, Sam. .”
About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I take pride in creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe and cared for—like they’re part of the family. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, special diets, or just extra cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. It’s more than just a job to me—it’s something I truly love doing. I currently have the flexibility to stay home full-time, with the exception of occasional appointments and a few hours on Wednesday evenings. This allows me to dedicate ample time throughout the day to walks, playtime, personalized care, and focused attention for each pet in my care. For a home in the city, we offer a generously sized, fully fenced backyard that provides plenty of space for pets to run and play safely. Our neighborhood is quiet and secure, making it ideal for walks if desired. There are no children or other pets in the household, ensuring a calm environment and allowing your dog to receive my full, undivided attention.
“Mary Grace is an exceptional pet sitter! She agreed to care for my 2 dogs at the last minute and was flexible with my work schedule. She wasn’t put off by my long work day of 12 hour shifts. She kept me informed throughout the day with pics and texts on how well my puppy kids were doing. Though my one dog has some behavioral special needs, Mary Grace was confident in her skills to care for my dog both professionally and lovingly. I highly recommend Mary Grace!”
About: I know every pet is different! I trained my own dog from puppyhood and treat every dog I care for with the same patience, love, and attention! I work from home, so I'm able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day! I only leave occasionally for work estimates, usually for just 1–2 hours, so your pet won't be left alone for long! Whether in my home or yours, I'll care for your pet like my own! I'll follow their routine, provide plenty of love, playtime, walks, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away!
“Robin was amazing. She was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me complete peace of mind. My puppy was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter.”
About: I’ve had many animals throughout my life and know that caring for them is my passion. I recently lost my Australian shepherd so this will be filling the void! I’m currently going out for maternity leave at work so my schedule is very open to all the fur babies. Size and breed are not an issue I have a fenced in back yard if that’s what your baby is needing. If they are inside then they are welcome to be a furry couch potato!
About: Family and friends have relied on the caring for their doggies while away without the stress. I send daily photos of the fun we are having and the loves they are receiving. I am currently working full time from home. I have plenty of time to take them out to potty and run around in my fenced yard. I have a fenced yard so they can potty often and get exercise. We often go for walks when I'm off work so they can explore and exercise even more.
“Polly had her first visit with Ms. Debbie and it was a success. Communication was awesome. Drop off and pick up was super easy. Received an update and photo of my pup during the visit. Just an all around great experience. Highly recommended.”
About: Dog loving family with many years of experience owning dogs. We have 3 fur babies. Chip (beagle mix) is 30 lb bundle of love and playfulness and gets along well with large or small breeds Nephi is a 4 year old husky mix and Roxie is a 2 year old mixed breed. We have a large fenced yard and I am home full time. I can offer daycare and overnight boarding. I will care for your fur baby as I expect mine to be, like a member of our family. I prefer dogs that are crate trained in case I need to run errands and prefer not to let them run free inside with no one home. We get lots of exercise and cuddle time. Tell me what will make your pup happy and I will do my best to accommodate. I look forward to meeting you soon! I work from home so my time away from your pup will be minimal. We take lots of outside breaks, but, we keep them inside to relax and stay comfortable during harsh weather. I have a large fenced yard and two dogs that play gently with other dogs. I watch them at all times even when outside. They are never left unattended except for short errands and they will be crated during my absence. I have lots of experience with senior dogs and can accommodate their special needs including injected meds. Mini photo shoot is also included with your pet’s stay! I do not accept Rottweilers, German Shepherds, or Pit Bulls. I am a stay at home mom so I am almost always at home. We get up early and serve breakfast, have potty and play time, or your pup can relax if that is what they prefer. I have a spacious fenced in back yard for running and playing and my home is pet friendly. Your baby will feel right at home and will be loved and cared for just like my own.

“Alexis B. ‘S dog walking has been a true blessing. We rescued a 5 month old puppy with very little to no crate training and Alexis was available the very next day to help walk our new furry family member.”
About: Hello, My name's Lorraine. I have a soft spot in my heart for senior dogs. I lost 2 of my eldest dogs last year ( aged 12 & 15 in 2024) and recently adopted another senior lady (Bella) from a friend that couldn't move with her. I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, chickens, birds, rabbits, hamsters, rats, horses, reptiles, and insects. I do own other animals in my home (for boarding purposes)- a rosy boa (snake), a bearded dragon, a leopard spotted gecko, a tarantula, 3 rabbits, chickens, and my new senior dog -Bella. I'm currently a stay at home mom and college student. I'm home often and am pretty used to the 3-4 hour returning home schedule with my senior dogs. I have a fenced in .25 acre yard and live in a subdivision that I can safely walk dogs in. I own a large dog crate, and 2 small dog crates if dogs need to be kenneled when away or are used to sleeping in them at night.
“Thank you so much for giving our sweet pup while we’re gone, we were really worried about her being all cooped up while we were out of town and you put all of our worries at ease :) thank you so so much!”
“My fur babies sure do love Rebekah. She's always so good with them. Always on time but if she'll be late she always let's me know. That almost never happens but it's great that she notifies me.”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, horses, goats, and chickens while traveling throughout the South East. I graduated from Auburn in August of 2021 and since then I have been driving everywhere I can to take care of animals in new places. I have loved sitting in the Columbus/Phenix City/Smiths Station area and look forward to taking care of more fur-babies in my area! I would be happy to sit in Auburn or Fort Mitchell as well, anywhere within an hour and I’m sure we can work it out! I have provided care for all kinds of critters, big, little, elderly, sick, grumpy, and silly, (most of them are silly). I strive to be the best provider for your pet-loved ones! Whatever your animal needs, we can figure it out together! My weekly routine will be all over the place this summer, but I look forward to figuring out what will work best for you! Just let me know what you need and we can figure it out together. Sadly, I will be unable to allow pets into my home, but will be happy to commute and care for your pets in their comfort zone!

I am familiar with training of animals, walking them, caring for medical needs, and providing all the pets they want and need! I have a lot of free time outside of my full time job and would love to spend it around animals. My schedule is flexible and always changing so I can accept a wide range of pet sitting/walking/feeding. I care for my dog in a very loving manner, he is pet constantly, taken on a generous amount of walks, and steals a lot of my attention for throwing his ball.

“Madison saved the day and helped me out when our dogs daycare was closed for the day. Even though it was her first time meeting my pup, she still went above and beyond would definitely book again and recommend!!”
About: This is my job. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies when you go outta town and I want to be able to provide comfort and care for your animals while you are gone. I love and care for animals and their wellbeing. I believe finding someone good and kind for your fur babies matters. I make sure they get plenty of pets and attention. I don’t let their water run out and refill as much as possible especially during summer. I am understanding and patient with animals especially if they have high energy and need to be outside a bit more than others to get some exercise/ energy out. I care about animals period. I have a pretty big range of experience with different dogs. I’ve taken care of multiple dogs at a time different sizes and ages. I’ve taken care of a diabetic cat (my baby she lived a very long life 19 years) I have taken care of a diabetic dog also. I got a puppy 8-weeks who is now 5 years old which he is a husky so very energetic and talkative. Taken care of giving elderly dogs medicine. I communicate pretty well. I also make taking care of your fur babies a priority. Thank you for choosing me! I can house sit and stay overnights if needed. I will make taking care of your fur babies a priority and treat them as if their were mine. (I have a husky) If you do a drop in visit I will be there longer than just 30 minutes. I don’t like to leave my baby for more than 4-5 hours max. That’s why I offer going to drop in 3 times. I don’t mind traveling to make sure your fur baby is taken care of throughout the day. I can take your fur baby walking giving them water and some love. If you have a fenced in yard I will still go and watch them outside you never know what could happen. I will update you as much as you would like.
About: Here to make sure your 4 legged family feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and always do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel as comfortable and loved as possible. I work Monday–Friday, but my schedule can be flexible at times. If you need pet care but aren’t sure whether my schedule will fit your needs, feel free to message me! I’m always happy to help whenever I’m able. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups. I crate trained both of my dogs while they were potty training, so I also have a large crate available if that fits your pet’s needs.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was around 9 years old, starting with my own pets and helping out with the pets of friends and family. While I haven’t done it professionally until now, I’ve always been the go-to person when someone needed a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their furry friend. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and love giving them the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or in-home visits, I treat every pet like my own, with patience, playfulness, and lots of love! Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I recently graduated, so I currently have a very open and flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, consistency, and care throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for! When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, happy, and relaxed in their familiar space. During visits, I make sure they get plenty of attention, whether that means playtime, cuddles, a walk, or just some calm companionship. I always follow the pet parent’s instructions closely, from feeding routines to favorite toys and potty breaks. I know how important it is to maintain your pet’s usual routine, so I do everything I can to make each visit feel safe, fun, and stress-free for both you and your furry friend!
About: I’ve had cats and dogs growing up and I now have two dogs of my own. I have a german shepherd/husky and an Aussiedor. I’ve cared for other pets like birds, lizards, chinchillas, etc. I am currently not working so I have plenty of pet time. My dogs are taken out very often, and we go on long walk/runs at least once a day. We play a lot of fetch and tug-o-war! I have two friendly dogs that love to make new friends and my 5-year-old son is obsessed with loving on all animals so there is plenty of fun and love to go around for your fur babies in this home.
About: **Please note I am disabled and hard of hearing. I will always prefer texts over phone calls. **Check out what your babies get up to and the pictures/videos I didn’t end up sending on our Facebook or Instagram page, Zig Zag Wag pet care! I have experience with a variety of animals, including dogs and cats, horses and livestock, rodents and reptiles, and everything from basic grooming including nail trims and baths to basic behavior training. (See safety section for further details) I have experience with basic first aid. I have pretty much free and short notice availability, thought I limit bookings on WEDNESDAYS and SUNDAYS as my days off. I have a whole zoo worth of pets and need to stop by my own house throughout the day, so any house sitting will be based on regular visits. I have reliable transportation and excellent driving skills in case of needing to transport. My vehicle has a crash tested seat belt and I have a few crash tested harnesses if you do not have one, though providing your own sized for your dog is preferred. I will not provide transport for animals other than cats or dogs and cats and small dogs must be tolerant of being crated for the ride. I am great at working with your schedule with at least 2 hours notice, but Rover does not allow easy schedule changes. If you need to reduce your visits, CANCEL the booking and REBOOK with your new dates, as once Rover confirms your booking it won’t let you reduce the current rate. In your home, I offer basic cleaning services and can ensure any messes get cleaned. I can meet many varied needs and am meticulous with following your house rules for your pets. I do not offer boarding or allow client pets at my home. I will not provide food or other consumables, though I will confirm what treats your pets can have because all good pets deserve treats. I provide basic behavior assistance such as teaching your dog that jumping on people is inappropriate, basic tricks (sit, down, paw), leash manners, but I DO NOT OFFER PAID TRAINING. I am not a certified trainer in any capacity, though I have trained many of my own animals (including rats and cats!)
About: Hi!! I’m Sarah Pingel and I love animals!! I have a Siberian Husky/ Alaskan Malamute mix named Benny, he’s 6 years old and I love him with all my heart!! I also trained him myself and he can do many things, including knowing his lefts from his rights! I have volunteered at animal shelters for 10+ years, cared for many dogs and cats of all ages, helped train a few of the dogs I watched, and can administer medication. I also have a grooming certificate. Caring for animals is such a passion of mine and I can’t wait to take care of your furry family member! I currently write full time as an author, so I’m home most of the time. Because of this, your furry family will easily fit into my schedule. I have a dog too, so I’m always with him and I will always be around your babies too! My dog is spoiled rotten and I won’t let your furry family feel any less than that!! I will make sure your dog/cat feels safe and loved while their families are away!! I’ll make sure to give them exercise and cuddles until you’re back home with them!!

“We needed someone to watch a very active 1.5yr old Brittany, and we are really picky about who watches our animals. Sandra was recommended and boarding with her and Mark was the best experience ever. Missy’s stay with them was literally a doggy vacation with a Giant yard to play in, long walks, huge professional kennel for her to lounge in, and, picture/video updates every day! They even have a TV in the temperature controlled kennel space so our girl could listen to tv like she is used to at our house. I look forward to using them again. They are a bit of a drive for me but I will use them every time over trying any of the 15 closer results rover showed me. It is well worth the peace of mind knowing that your dogs are being pampered not just boarded.”
“Donald took excellent care of Rani while we were away. He shared updates frequently with photos which our family appreciated very much. He cares for our pet like they are his own. We can tell she was given a lot of love. We have already rebooked Donald for Rani for her next stay, that should say it! Thank you, Donald.”
“Heather is amazing! Super welcoming and friendly. She was really prompt responding before and during the sitting. We got pictures without having to ask and our pup was obviously well taken care of. She’s highly qualified, would definitely use her services anytime and highly recommend!”
“Brian, his wife, and his home are the perfect place to board your dog. My dog Cali has felt right at home and couldn't be any more spoiled. The attention, energy, and love she recieved while staying with them couldn't have been more perfect. Their house was immaculate, the yard, and location is perfect. Brian is easy to communicate with and responsive and very flexible. I was going out of town for work and needed a place for my dog and wasn't sure how long I'd be gone. They were helpful and extending was easy. If you're looking for a loving home away from home you don't need to look any farther.”
“Sadie enjoyed her stay with Kaia & Desean…she is a very skiddish puppy and did incredibly well with them 😆 They sent a pic daily with an update, which was greatly appreciated!! We would highly recommend them to take great care of your beloved pet!!”
“I was able to book with Casey last minute and she took great care of my Sweetie. When my cousin picked my dog up she said my dog was walking around like she was home and comfortable. I would definitely rebook and you should too.”
“Kara was amazing!! I know we made a great choice choosing her to watch over our fur baby while we were away. She communicated everyday with pictures and videos letting us know how he was doing. We will definitely be booking again with her real soon. Thank you for everything!! I would give 100 stars if I could.”
“Maddie was amazing! I got updates and pictures during my dog’s stay. She was attentive to his needs and worked with him to make sure he was comfortable throughout his stay”
“This was my first Rover experience and how amazing it was! Selau was able to help me board my 8 week old kitten last minute. She was great with communicating to book and along the way. I loved getting updates and pictures of my little girl too! It’s great to have someone who is kind and caring for our fur babies to help when we may have to step away! 10/10 and will certainly be back when I might need the help again! Best experience for me and my little kitten!🩷🫶🏻”
About: Here to make sure your 4 legged family feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and always do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel as comfortable and loved as possible. I work Monday–Friday, but my schedule can be flexible at times. If you need pet care but aren’t sure whether my schedule will fit your needs, feel free to message me! I’m always happy to help whenever I’m able. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups. I crate trained both of my dogs while they were potty training, so I also have a large crate available if that fits your pet’s needs.
“Matt did a fantastic job with our pets. Not only did he send daily pictures, he provided detailed description of their behavior. His experience as a dog trainer gave new insight and he even provided tips on how I can work with them on my own. His property is amazing and has plenty of space for the dogs to run, conveniently located in North Columbus. Highly recommend and will book again!”
“Pheebs had a great time with Lexi. I have never used this app before or actually left her with anyone other then family. Lexi put me at ease from them moment I met her. And boy did phoebe have a time. She has dogs herself which made phoebes stay even better. Play dates are her favorite. Lexi messaged me pictures and update on phoebe! I 100% recommend her to anyone”
“Megan is great! She has watched our doggies 3x in the last year. Our dogs have so much fun playing with her dogs. Megan is always quick to respond and super easy to work with! Highly recommended!”
“We feel like Laura and Spirit have become pals. Laura treats her like her furry roommate. We plan to leave Spirit with her anytime that it works out. She has a true love for and knowledge of dogs, that is very obvious in talking to her. We would highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”
“Great stay overall. Our dog is very well behaved and was doing very well living in the house. Then we got a call from the sitter's neighbor that found her roaming around the neighborhood (had my phone on the collar). Looks like she left the house while nobody was in. Apart from that, a great and welcoming host and a beautiful countryside.”
“Nikki and her family were great! My golden needed medication through out the day and they stayed on top of it with ease! She sent constant photos and updates of my dog. Great first experience using a sitter on River and would recommend Nikki and her family to anyone!”
“Leroy had such a great weekend with Mary Grace. I felt so guilty leaving him but she made me feel so much better with all the pictures. I could tell he was having a blast! I will definitely be using Mary grace again!”
