“Jasmine was wonderful. Easy drop off and pick up and she sent videos and pictures of Maple ever day. We were in a bind trying to find care and Jasmine responded quickly. The next time we need a sitter in Columbus, we’ll definitely ask Jasmine first!”
“What a wonderful experience for us and Hondo. He loved it and so did we. It was a completely stress-free time away knowing he was well tended. We got all the feedback we needed, pictures, videos, and texts. He got exercise, love, and a little bit of Thanksgiving turkey. When we got home, our pup headed straight to his crate and stayed there sound asleep for hours. Thanks Rachel to you and your daughters for loving him and playing with him. We're already getting our babysitting plans together for our next trip and we're relieved you'll be available for us!”
“Kelsie was very nice and updated me with photos and updates to make sure my puppy was doing great I would highly recommend and appreciate the last minute notice that I had to board my dog.”
“This was the first time someone I didn't know watching my dog. This was the best experience. She treated Biggie with the upmost care. She treated him like family. This is my new go to instead of boarding him I got pictures and updates when needed. She even picked up Biggie. I highly recommend”
“This was my second time using Megan as a sitter. Let me start by saying she definitely had her hands full with my elder dog, Luna. Unfortunately, Luna was experiencing severe GI issues the day prior to her stay with Megan. Since I was leaving town, Megan had to help Luna through these issues. I am extremely grateful that Megan did everything she could to help Luna and make her comfortable (while keeping me updated). Great communication!”
About: I’m currently a Junior in college and I miss my dogs at home, which is what made me want to become a sitter on rover. I have two bernedoodles at home. One is 4 year old and one is 6 months old, so I’ve had experience training both of them and caring for both of them. I also walked a neighborhood golden doodle frequently in high school. Last summer I nannied a family with an adorable pitbull that I cared for in addition to the children. I also had a golden retriever growing up for 12 years. I love all ages, sizes, and breeds of dogs. I have a summer class from 9-12 every morning, but other than that I can be home all day. I spend most of my time studying at home, but love to go for walks as study breaks and I live a very active lifestyle, which dogs would fit into perfectly. I also love being outdoors and I live alone so I’d love the company of a furry friend. It really depends on the client and how they want me to care for their pet. I want to do as much as I can to make their dogs feel at home and at ease. I’ve seen how hard it is for my own dogs back at home to adjust to a new environment, so I want to provide a healthy environment for other people’s dogs. When I get clients I make sure to ask them about their dogs routine, so I can do my best to mimic that.
“Laura & her home are both so warm and friendly, from the moment I dropped Cheeto off I knew he was in good hands. I left my cat with Laura for 5 nights while I was out of town and got updates on how he was getting acclimated to the environment and what he was up to with pictures every day. She’s so good with animals and introducing them to one another (with regards to my cat meeting her cats), and even gave me some helpful cat care tips. Know that if you leave your fur baby with her, they’ll definitely be cared for and loved in your absence. I could tell Cheeto really liked her and was a bit bummed when we left; he got a vacation just as much as I did. :) I’ll definitely be looking for Laura’s availability next time I need a cat sitter again.”
“I have no words with how thrilled we are!! Our pack of 3 fur babies had a blast with Kieth at his house. They had free run every day and Kieth made sure they kept up with their commands. Before dropping off, Keith was sure to ask for an emergency contact and vet information just in case. My husband and I got pictures while we were gone. We got updates on how our pack was doing and getting along with the other dogs at his place.”
About: Hi I’m Jess! My husband and I work from home and have a calm, safe space for your pet and will get lots of attention! We will provide great communication with updates while you are away. We are looking forward to meeting you! My husband and I are home all day so we have time to give your pets lots of love and attention. We have a safe and comfortable environment to make your pets feel at home. I have a fenced in backyard but we also take daily walks! We have 1 dog and 2 cats that love play dates! We have gates that we can use to keep them safe or you can bring a crate
“Wonderful care for my two pups while on vacation. I could tell by the updates and pics Julie sent me that my boys were happy and comfortable. So appreciative of your communication and flexibility.”

“Katie was amazing with our great pyr! Super flexible with drop off/pick up times. She even brushed out our baby girl after three weeks of camping (oh the Swiffer tail is real!!!!). She was one tired fluff when we picked her up. Highly recommend if you need someone to watch your fur baby 🥰”
About: Need a weekend getaway? Let your pet have one, too! I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and I know how stressful it can be to leave them behind. That's why I open my home for weekend boarding (Friday morning to Sunday night). My house is incredibly pet-friendly. Your dog will have a securely fenced yard to run around in, free roam of the house, and plenty of cozy spots to nap. They will also have some great company! My resident pack includes a super friendly 1-year-old Lab mix who loves to play, plus two older Pomeranians and a laid-back cat who knows how to keep things chill. If your pet is a little older or needs some extra care, you can rest easy. I have plenty of experience caring for senior dogs with medical issues and am completely comfortable administering medications. My pets are my world, and I promise to treat your babies as if they were my own. I can't wait to host them! I currently work full time and am home on the weekends. I can host your pets from Friday evening until Sunday evening. I only need 1 day notice. I have a fenced in yard and I offer continuous access outside weather permitting. I can crate your pet if needed. Treats and snacks and lots of love will be provided.
“Carmichael came through big time for me, last minute. My sitter had bailed 3 days before my vacation and Carmichael was reasonably priced and Montcier had a wonderful week with him. Thank you again”
“We are a rescue that was transporting a Foxhound, pulled from a high-skill shelter in SC to our rescue in SE Minnesota. We were unable to secure a volunteer to do overnight boarding for our girl Charlene. I was apprehensive but, I did a search on Rover.com for an overnighter in the Greensburg IN area. Kayla W appeared. I asked the questions, she responded. It was a late drop-off and an early pick-up; no problem, Kayla could and did accommodate us. This woman is top-notch. She is professional, informational and kept us apprise of rescued girl- Charlene. We will definitely be booking with Kayla W again. Thank you for an awesome, first-time experience. Dianne”
About: I love pets. I had my Golden Retriever since he was 10 weeks. Now he is 7 and half. Very healthy! I take him to dog park everyday.

My golden retriever is very friendly and happy to play with other dogs. I usually walk them twice a day besides the dog park, one in the morning and one in the evening. There would be two 1- 1 1/2 hour play time in the backyard too.

“Kelly has been the absolute best petsitter we've ever had through Rover. She'll be the first person I check for availability for future needs. She was personable and caring, while also very professional. She sent pics and an update every day, and went above and beyond with some unexpected needs. My pets took to her too, which is the ultimate stamp of approval! This is the most at ease I've felt about the care of my fur-babies while I've been away. So glad we lucked out booking Kelly!”

About: I have so much love and passion for sweet kitties. I have had many different breeds over the years and have enjoyed each and every one.

About: My fiancé and I have cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, from puppies to senior dogs requiring special attention. Our experience includes feeding according to dietary needs, ensuring regular exercise through walks and playtime, administering medications, and maintaining a safe, clean environment. And let’s not forget, all the cuddles your pup will allow! Pet care fits seamlessly into our weekly routine, as both my fiancé, Renas, and I work from home. I work part-time and he works full-time, which means one of us is always home to provide attentive care. Renas shares my love for animals and is always actively involved in caring for the pets we welcome. Our schedules are flexible and fully adaptable to meet your pet’s unique needs. While your pet is in our care, we will follow any schedule/routine that fits your pets needs. We will also ensure proper feeding/watering and any dietary restrictions. Pets will have regular walks and playtime as well as proper physical and mental stimulation such as engaging in games or activities that cater to the pet’s personality and energy level. If games and activities aren’t your pets cup of tea, we can be great couch potatoes and cuddle buddies as well. Maintaining a clean pet environment is a priority ensuring their space is free from hazards. Any basic grooming needs will also be provided. Last but not least, we are happy to keep pet owners updated regularly through messages, pictures, or videos to provide peace of mind. (Pets are allowed on furniture and are welcome to sleep in bed if preferred 😊) Side note- We live in a two story home on a half acre lot that backs up to a wooded area. Our yard is not fenced in so dogs will need to be leashed when going outside. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly with tree lined streets and sidewalks on both sides. There’s also several trails nearby that’s great for dog walking and adventures!

I am able to devote any range of attention and care that your animal needs. I can come to you or your pet can come to me. I have a loving home with lots of toys to fit your animals needs.

I have found that using a blanket, shirt, or bed from home usually helps when boarding that they can cuddle with, or I can use a crate if your animal is more comfortable that way. I have the ability to separate animals if your animal requires one on one love :) I do this full time and just started an in home kennel! I can do home visits, doggy daycare, and boarding at any time or day that fits your schedule! I have home on 3 acres out in the country with 2 fenced in areas, along with an outdoor inclosed kennel.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and that lifelong experience has shaped me into a patient, attentive, and genuinely passionate caregiver. I’m not just a pet sitter—I’m someone who truly understands different personalities, needs, and stages of life. I have hands-on experience with everything from energetic puppies who need consistent training and structure to senior pets who require gentle care, medication routines, and extra comfort. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and understood, while giving you complete peace of mind when you’re away. I work a part time job with a pretty consistent schedule while also going to school online.

On a weekly basis, I dedicate time for longer walks, and special care for senior pets. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I create a calm, safe, and structured environment where they can relax and settle in comfortably. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, provide plenty of playtime and walks, and make sure they always have access to fresh water and cozy resting spots. I pay close attention to their routine, preferences, and any special needs—whether that’s extra potty breaks for puppies or a quiet space for senior pets.

We have plenty of time to fit your babies into our schedule and help out a fellow fur parent! I have plenty of space in our townhouse and a large grass area for them to be walked and play in. I have a medium sized crate if needed as well. Plenty of toys and running space for play time all day. A comfy couch and bed for the babies to take naps and many spaces for feeding time. To keep safe measure.
About: I have always loved taking care of animals and playing with them. I have always taken care of family friend's pets while they were away and would love to do this for other people through this. I love to make sure new pets I take care of feel as comfortable as possible with me. You won’t ever have to worry about your furry family with me I work during the day but am always home by the latest 4 but usually 2:30. I will always work around your animals and make them my absolute priority while taking care of them. I am super flexible so we can always work together to figure out the best schedule that works best for you and your animals. I have pets of my own so I understand potential dangers to them. When I watch your pets I will treat them like my own and care for them how I would like my pets to be cared for. They will be my priority and I will try to make them feel as safe and comfortable with me as possible.
About: I started taking care of animals when I was eight. Since then, I have cared for guinea pigs, rabbits, a tarantula, fish, chickens, cows, and of course cats and dogs of various ages. Typically, I will set up a phone call or meet and greet before officially booking. This helps to make sure owners and I are have the same expectations and to meet your adorable pets. I am a full time college student, so my availability is flexible. I am available to check in or stay overnight with your pets. Walking is also something I love to do for exercise or a study break. I currently live in an apartment with a roommate's cat that scares easily with other animals. Therefore, I will only sit in owner homes. I look forward to having a proper place to make a loving dog a home at. When I watch pets in other homes, I like to follow whatever regimen the owner has in place. I have found animals adapt to a new person in their territory when they stick to a routine and are in a familiar place.

“Jasmine was wonderful. Easy drop off and pick up and she sent videos and pictures of Maple ever day. We were in a bind trying to find care and Jasmine responded quickly. The next time we need a sitter in Columbus, we’ll definitely ask Jasmine first!”
“What a wonderful experience for us and Hondo. He loved it and so did we. It was a completely stress-free time away knowing he was well tended. We got all the feedback we needed, pictures, videos, and texts. He got exercise, love, and a little bit of Thanksgiving turkey. When we got home, our pup headed straight to his crate and stayed there sound asleep for hours. Thanks Rachel to you and your daughters for loving him and playing with him. We're already getting our babysitting plans together for our next trip and we're relieved you'll be available for us!”
“Kelsie was very nice and updated me with photos and updates to make sure my puppy was doing great I would highly recommend and appreciate the last minute notice that I had to board my dog.”
“This was the first time someone I didn't know watching my dog. This was the best experience. She treated Biggie with the upmost care. She treated him like family. This is my new go to instead of boarding him I got pictures and updates when needed. She even picked up Biggie. I highly recommend”
About: I’m currently a Junior in college and I miss my dogs at home, which is what made me want to become a sitter on rover. I have two bernedoodles at home. One is 4 year old and one is 6 months old, so I’ve had experience training both of them and caring for both of them. I also walked a neighborhood golden doodle frequently in high school. Last summer I nannied a family with an adorable pitbull that I cared for in addition to the children. I also had a golden retriever growing up for 12 years. I love all ages, sizes, and breeds of dogs. I have a summer class from 9-12 every morning, but other than that I can be home all day. I spend most of my time studying at home, but love to go for walks as study breaks and I live a very active lifestyle, which dogs would fit into perfectly. I also love being outdoors and I live alone so I’d love the company of a furry friend. It really depends on the client and how they want me to care for their pet. I want to do as much as I can to make their dogs feel at home and at ease. I’ve seen how hard it is for my own dogs back at home to adjust to a new environment, so I want to provide a healthy environment for other people’s dogs. When I get clients I make sure to ask them about their dogs routine, so I can do my best to mimic that.
“Laura & her home are both so warm and friendly, from the moment I dropped Cheeto off I knew he was in good hands. I left my cat with Laura for 5 nights while I was out of town and got updates on how he was getting acclimated to the environment and what he was up to with pictures every day. She’s so good with animals and introducing them to one another (with regards to my cat meeting her cats), and even gave me some helpful cat care tips. Know that if you leave your fur baby with her, they’ll definitely be cared for and loved in your absence. I could tell Cheeto really liked her and was a bit bummed when we left; he got a vacation just as much as I did. :) I’ll definitely be looking for Laura’s availability next time I need a cat sitter again.”
“I have no words with how thrilled we are!! Our pack of 3 fur babies had a blast with Kieth at his house. They had free run every day and Kieth made sure they kept up with their commands. Before dropping off, Keith was sure to ask for an emergency contact and vet information just in case. My husband and I got pictures while we were gone. We got updates on how our pack was doing and getting along with the other dogs at his place.”

“Katie was amazing with our great pyr! Super flexible with drop off/pick up times. She even brushed out our baby girl after three weeks of camping (oh the Swiffer tail is real!!!!). She was one tired fluff when we picked her up. Highly recommend if you need someone to watch your fur baby 🥰”
About: Need a weekend getaway? Let your pet have one, too! I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and I know how stressful it can be to leave them behind. That's why I open my home for weekend boarding (Friday morning to Sunday night). My house is incredibly pet-friendly. Your dog will have a securely fenced yard to run around in, free roam of the house, and plenty of cozy spots to nap. They will also have some great company! My resident pack includes a super friendly 1-year-old Lab mix who loves to play, plus two older Pomeranians and a laid-back cat who knows how to keep things chill. If your pet is a little older or needs some extra care, you can rest easy. I have plenty of experience caring for senior dogs with medical issues and am completely comfortable administering medications. My pets are my world, and I promise to treat your babies as if they were my own. I can't wait to host them! I currently work full time and am home on the weekends. I can host your pets from Friday evening until Sunday evening. I only need 1 day notice. I have a fenced in yard and I offer continuous access outside weather permitting. I can crate your pet if needed. Treats and snacks and lots of love will be provided.
“Carmichael came through big time for me, last minute. My sitter had bailed 3 days before my vacation and Carmichael was reasonably priced and Montcier had a wonderful week with him. Thank you again”
“We are a rescue that was transporting a Foxhound, pulled from a high-skill shelter in SC to our rescue in SE Minnesota. We were unable to secure a volunteer to do overnight boarding for our girl Charlene. I was apprehensive but, I did a search on Rover.com for an overnighter in the Greensburg IN area. Kayla W appeared. I asked the questions, she responded. It was a late drop-off and an early pick-up; no problem, Kayla could and did accommodate us. This woman is top-notch. She is professional, informational and kept us apprise of rescued girl- Charlene. We will definitely be booking with Kayla W again. Thank you for an awesome, first-time experience. Dianne”
About: I love pets. I had my Golden Retriever since he was 10 weeks. Now he is 7 and half. Very healthy! I take him to dog park everyday. I am full time home, so I have lots of time to play with your dog. I can walk them, play with them, take them to dog park. I have a fenced yard that your fur baby can play during in the day. My golden retriever is very friendly and happy to play with other dogs. I usually walk them twice a day besides the dog park, one in the morning and one in the evening. There would be two 1- 1 1/2 hour play time in the backyard too.
About: I’m kind of getting back into pet sitting , but I used to pet sit when I was 12 to 15 years old and I definitely miss it I work second shift locally here in Franklin and I get off of work around 12:30 AM and I am typically home around 1 o’clock I always make sure that my apartment is nice and clean, so there is nothing that they can chew on and especially nothing that they can choke on
About: Pets have been part of my life since I was a child. I began working in a dog boarding facility during my high school years and followed the animal track into my college education and became a licensed veterinary technician. I have pet sitting and veterinary working experience with dogs, cats, cattle, chickens, and horses. I worked in a mixed animal veterinary practice as a licensed veterinary technician for 4 years, then moved to an equine only veterinary practice for close to 5 years and currently at an equine veterinary practice employed as a registered veterinary technician. I have a 2 year old spayed golden retriever who travels everywhere with me as well as a 10 year old shorthair female spayed cat who enjoys her days sunbathing in the sunshine. I work full time as a registered veterinary technician; I typically work 4 days a week with one day off and approximately every 4th weekend at the clinic. I have availability in the evenings, days off, and most weekends. My golden girl loves to play and have company and the cat will offer her cuddles as well during in home stays. I constantly observe the pets I care for and make sure they are happy and healthy. I tailor my care for each individual; whether they enjoy multiple walks, adventures, or just want extra cuddles their happiness is my top priority.
