“We needed to leave our dog for a week and were very happy with the care and attention he received at Savanah’s house. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We would definitely recommend Savanah and would happily have our dog stay at her house again!”
“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!”
“Keisha did a great job taking care of our Louie. You can tell she truly enjoys taking care of him and he loves being there. He gets so much attention and love. She sends regular updates, which I appreciate. She takes the time to play with him and treats him like one of her own. We will be using Keisha again!”
“Megan went out of her way to help my very anxious doggie deal with separation. My dog was delivered tired and well played with. It was great to have a napping pup while I unpacked from vacation.”
“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’ve grown up having pets of all kinds, from reptiles to dogs to horses. I aspired to be a veterinarian when I was younger but made the decision for my family to become a stay at home mother. I currently have 3 German Shepherds and 3 cats. I’m home all hours of the day minus occasional errands. I’ve watched/boarded dogs of all shapes and sizes for family and friends many times. I’ve been responsible for dogs that need daily medications and or special diets without issue many times. I’ve raised and trained every dog I’ve ever owned myself and many of my friends and family come to me for help or questions with training and grooming. I truly enjoy working with dogs of all shapes and sizes! My families’ home rests on 2 1/2 acres, fenced all the way around with plenty of room for your best friend to run and play and enjoy their stay with me. I am currently a stay at home mom and am home all hours of the day. I’m only gone when I have errands to run or appointments/sports for my children. I have 3 German Shepherds that are indoor/outdoor and are typically friendly with other dogs. If your dog isn’t good with others, no problem, I can alternate time inside and time outside for everyone! My entire property is fenced off and secure. My fence is roughly 5ft tall. If your furry friend is an escape artist, no worries, I have no problem with leashing and walking them throughout the day. I also have 3 cats, 1 that is indoors only and 2 that enjoy going in and out of the house. If cats are a problem for your dog, I’m comfortable with and experienced with keeping them separated. I do prefer to have dogs crated at bedtime to prevent nighttime accidents and keep everyone safe and comfortable.
“Megan was fabulous with all accommodation needed for my elder pup!!! She was amazing when it came to communication! Additionally, Luna seemed to be having a blast in all of the pictures Megan sent❤️”
“Samantha was absolutely amazing with my cat! She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, attentive, and clearly truly cares about animals.

I would absolutely book with Samantha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter. Thank you again, Samantha!”

About: I’ve watched cats since I was 9 years old. I lived in an apartment complex so I’d take care of all the neighbors cats. One of the cats I currently own takes a daily medication and is a fighter against it so I know how to wrangle a cat to administer medication, but I believe in a fear free approach! I am not scared of being clawed or bit at all, but will do all I can to avoid it! My goal is to keep your kitty happy and healthy! I have no problem cleaning litter boxes, accidents or hair balls as I have four cats of my own.

About: I grew up with dogs in my home for 24 years. Both puppies and seniors. I love all breeds and sizes. All dogs are adorable! I have my own pup, he has been trained by me and knows a number of tricks. I understand a dogs body language and understand if things need to be taken slow with your fur baby.

We are outside of the city and enjoy the privacy we have. We use leashes to walk from our front door to our fenced in yard and have plenty of space to accommodate crates if needed. We can do crates for dogs that need it but I pride myself on treating my boarders like my own. With free range of my home and multiple hours spent outside in the sun.
About: Updated Parvo vaccine and flea and tick meds are mandatory! It is very important to keep all the puppies safe. I grew up on a farm taking care of many types of animals. I have always had an animal in my care and could not imagine life without one. I make my own schedule as an esthetician and photographer so I have plenty of free time to love on your fur babies and give them the best of lovins!

“Just phenomenal! I can not recommend Kayla enough. She and her whole family are just wonderful and my Riley Girl LOVED staying with them. I would use them again in a heartbeat. Very accommodating and sweet with my girl!”
About: I began professionally caring for animals 10 years ago when I got a job at PetSmart as a Pet Care associate! From there, I became a kennel technician at one of the top rated veterinary clinics in Cincinnati, Animal Care Center, and after a year of working there as a kennel technician they trained me to be a veterinary technician. I then had my first son and stayed home with him and had a farm with pigs, chickens, and all kinds of wonderful animals! When I decided to rejoin the work force, of course I went back to what I love most, caring for animals. I worked at two different kennels full time and helped manage one of them. I am able to give medications to pets and I’m comfortable giving insulin shots. If you’re interested in drop-ins for medication only while you’re at work or out, I can do that! I’m available any time, just discuss with me what would work best for you. During overnight stays, I will fill out a report to return to you so you will have complete details of how your pet was while you’re away! I’m also willing to FaceTime and send pictures so you know that your pet is safe and sound. Housemates would be my loving and gentle 5 year old son and my fiancé. I have a small chihuahua myself who is very friendly with all other pets. Since I do have children, any pets staying at my home must be child friendly. I’m always available whenever you need me. I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m very flexible with my schedule. Short notice or planning months in advance? I’m here! I have two children who love pets and give them plenty of friendly attention. I also have a chihuahua who gets along with other dogs but is convinced she’s truly a cat so she doesn’t play much! Pets remain leashed at all times during walks and get walked multiple times a day during pet-sitting.
“Jasmine was great. I was in town for an event and decided to let my puppy play instead of join me. I contacted Jasmine last minute and she was available! Roxie had a great time and was well cared for. I got several pictures and video up which was great for this nervous mom. Thanks so much!!!”
“Kristen was awesome! So sweet and no worries at all about leaving my little guy with her. She took such great care of him! If I'm in the area and need a sitter again, I will definitely reach out to her!”

Rover is my only employment at this time so I am free most days. I try to update my availability at least once or twice a week. I would be so happy to take care of your babies at your home while your away! I know having a stranger in your home seems scary but just know I am there for you and your baby nothing more! You can message me as much as you would like during the visits and don't worry I'll send plenty of pictures! I will also clean up after myself and your pet if they make a mess!
About: Since having my own pets (cats, dogs, fish) since I was younger, I learned to take care of them and love them unconditionally. I’ve also helped family, friends and neighbors with their pets when in need. I always get excited when an animal/pet is around. I love every animal as my own! I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to play/check in on your pets. I’m available 3 days a week and on weekends. I also have an hour lunch break that I am willing to come by. Happy to come by in the early mornings and late evenings/nights as well. At this point in life, I can only come to your home to check in on your pet, take walks, play, etc! Hoping to be able to bring them to my home/overnight stays soon.
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life, and for the last five years I’ve been the “call Lacey, she’ll do it!” pet sitter for family and friends.

Your pets will get cuddles, playtime, and very special treatment every time! I also go by the name “Lu” so if you hear me called that it’s still me!

I truly enjoy spending time with animals, so feel free to reach out anytime—I’d love to help care for your furry friends! I personally have a fenced in yard and two friendly doggies. One is 8 years old and the other is 2. I can do whatever your pets need!
