Amy was amazing at sending me updates and pictures during Ivy’s stay. I would 100% use her again in the future!”

“Sally is nothing short of amazing. She has taken care of our two pit rescues over the holidays and each time she has done such a wonderful job. Our girls are polar opposite in the exercise department and she was able to tailor walks to both of them. She kept us informed on a regular basis and sent lots of picture updates. It is clear she is very experienced and truly passionate about animals. I would 1000% recommend Sally and feel lucky to have found her. Thank you!”
“Laken is absolutely wonderful. Biscuit had the best time with her and her family she took amazing care of my lil guy while I was out of town. Any pup who spends time with Laken is incredibly lucky!!”

I absolutely love her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”

“If I could give more than five stars, I would! Denise and her family kept our boys for twelve days and took such great care of them. We got lots of pictures of them being loved on and snuggled. It made us so happy to know that they were comfortable, safe, and happy while we were away. Our dogs’ medications and supplements were not an issue either. We wholeheartedly recommend Denise to anyone who is looking for a home away from home for their dogs.”
“Mary was absolutely amazing with Layla! She communicated consistently and thoughtfully, sending pictures at least twice a day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Layla usually goes on a bit of a hunger strike when I leave, but she was so comfortable with Mary that she ate every single meal. That alone says everything! Layla looked genuinely happy in every photo and was clearly very well cared for. Mary also shared how much she loved spending time with Layla, and it truly sounds like they both had a great time together. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be using Mary’s services again in the future.”

“Savannah deserves more than 5/5 stars. She is an excellent sitter. She cared for my 2 cats. She was comfortable giving meds to my cat who has both seizures and cancer.

“First time leaving my dog with anyone. Kyla was awesome. I plan to schedule more daycare days with her so that my dog gets familiar with her, anticipating some overnight boarding in the near future.”
“Rommel can be pretty shy around new folks so I am always nervous about introducing him to new people. He also isn’t a very affectionate dog (he only likes being petted when he first wakes up, then he has has enough and doesn’t really want that). When I went to pick him up he was loving all over them. I haven’t seen him warm up to anyone as quickly and as completely as he did here. What a wonderful experience!”
“Jodi was great, very pleasant t, her husband as well. She treated my cuddle bug Jax like he was part of her family. Jax is very comfortable with her and always happy to see her and runs right to her. That feels so great to see as a pet parent. I was able to reach out to her whenever i needed to know how my baby pooch was doing and she sent videos. Jax just is very happy when he is there. I would definitely recommend Jodi and would definitely have her care for my baby again.”

“Today was Mochi’s first time staying with Ronald, and he did an amazing job taking care of her. He kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear he was patient, attentive, and genuinely cared for her well-being. I really appreciated the updates and knowing Mochi was in good hands. I would definitely trust Ronald to watch her again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

We are a pretty active family, our dogs are crate trained but also have free range of the house and are very much including in our daily lives.

I am able to host at my home but can also be available for in home sitting if you prefer. I have references to offer upon request.
“Our dog can be nervous around new people, but Laken got down on the floor with her and snuggled to make her comfortable. She had her two small dogs who played well with ours. She has a fenced yard and our dog enjoyed running around. We felt like she received good care and looked very comfortable when we picked her up.”
“Brian helped us out with short notice when we needed someone to watch our pup Hank for a few hours while we attended an event. He was an excellent communicator and sent so many cute pics! Hank went right to sleep after he got home as he was tired out from playing with his new friends and running around the fenced in yard. Highly recommend Brian. We will definitely be using him again!”
About: UPDATES! Due to my Husbands career change, I will be the main person that will be caring for your animals. He will help if needed or if any dogs come to our home. My husband and I have a lifelong experience with dogs. We both grew up with dogs. I had a Golden Retriever and he had a Labrador Retriever. We have experience with all different types of pups! We are a team and work together to love and care for every dog we care for. We have dedicated ourselves to learning all about dogs, their social behaviors, and how to keep them happy and healthy. My goal is to one day become a professional dog trainer. I guarantee after a day with me and my pup your dog will be happy and tired. :) UPDATE! Our schedule has temporarily changed due to my husband getting a new job. We will still be available for boarding but drop ins and walking will have to be limited to weekday evenings and anytime during the weekend. This will be the case until summer! Someday I would love to care for dogs as my full time job but it’s going to take some time. 🥰 We have a fully fenced in yard with a privacy fence. We have a very energetic and friendly Golden Retriever to keep your dog company. We have 2 kids who are big animal lovers who will love and play with the dogs all day! I am trustworthy and will accommodate your dogs schedule and needs whether i have your dog for the day, walking them, or just dropping in to check on them.
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is the genuine love and lifelong experience I have with animals. I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, and to me, pets are family. My own dogs are truly like my children, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. Growing up, we always had dogs in our home, and having animals as part of the family was something I always wanted to continue in my own life. Because of that, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, dependable, and caring when leaving your pet with someone else. I strive to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets feel at home and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m currently home during the day, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. We have a fenced-in yard and a doggie door, so dogs are able to safely go outside whenever they need to, making it easy for them to stay active and comfortable on their own schedule. Our dogs are truly part of our family, so caring for animals is already built into our everyday life. They have their own routines and habits, especially at bedtime. Every night when we take our son upstairs for bed, our dogs follow right along. One of them is usually waiting by the stairs looking at us like, “Come on, it’s bedtime!” It’s those little moments that show how loved and comfortable they are in our home, and I want every dog staying with us to feel that same sense of comfort and belonging. When pets are in my home, they will be treated like part of the family—just like my own dogs. My priority is always making sure they are safe, comfortable, well cared for, and getting plenty of love and attention while their owners are away. I want pets to feel relaxed and at home in our environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I understand the importance of being respectful of both their home and their pet’s routine. I will follow any instructions carefully to help pets stay comfortable in a familiar environment while also maintaining the same level of care, attention, and safety. No matter where I am caring for a pet, I believe trust is the most important thing. Animals need to feel safe with the person caring for them, and I always strive to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment for every pet I look after.
“Will and Bibiana are the best. They have treated my puppy Nella like their own. They have helped Nella and I beyond what I could have hoped. Would recommend to anyone for the best care! Thank you guys so much for all the help!!”
“This was an outstanding experience and we will gladly trust our dog (Miss Maya) with Jennifer and family in the future. We booked last minute but she was quick to respond and accommodate us. Throughout her stay, we received frequent updates — a lot of pictures and videos. Jennifer watched Miss Maya for us two days in a row while work on the house was being done. In the car ride out on the second day, Miss Maya was anxious (we’d bounced around to different locations for over a week). Once we got to Jennifer’s home, however, she immediately relaxed. She trotted up to the door, tail wagging, and was clearly pleased to be back for another day. Jennifer’s children were so gentle and kind with Miss Maya. I can’t say enough good things about her. Thank you for taking such good care of Miss Maya!”
“Bronzy absolutely loves Barkwatch and so do I. He has been with them since the beginning. The care they provide for us is that of extended family. I really don’t trust him with anyone else. Not only do they provide great service but accommodating and knowledgeable when I comes to my fur baby.”
“Alyssa was very responsive, sent lots of pictures/updates and Tucker is nice and tired after a full day of playing! Thank you for taking great care of our little guy!”
About: There has never been a time in my life that I can’t remember not having a dog, I have owned many breeds, from a 2lb Pomeranian to a Great Pyrenees, from puppies to seniors I enjoy them all. Hi there! I took a short break from Rover for a few months, but I’m excited to be back and accepting bookings again. I’m now home full-time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I have a fenced backyard and three dogs to help keep your dog company. We have a built in doggie door so your dog will be able to go in and out as they want to, should they choose to use it.
About: I am a dedicated dog enthusiast with more than 13 years of hands-on experience caring for and raising dogs through every stage of life, from puppyhood to senior care. While my greatest experience has been with Great Danes, I have also spent years raising and caring for Pit Bull Terriers, developing a strong understanding of the unique needs, personalities, and characteristics of both breeds. My experience includes puppy development and socialization, basic obedience training, nutrition and wellness management, daily exercise routines, preventative care, and supporting dogs through adulthood and their senior years. I have cared for aging dogs with mobility challenges, administered medications when needed, and provided the patience, comfort, and attention necessary to maintain their quality of life as they age. Living and working with Great Danes has given me extensive knowledge of giant-breed care, while my experience with Pit Bull Terriers has strengthened my appreciation for intelligent, loyal, and energetic companions. Beyond these breeds, I have a genuine love for dogs of all kinds and enjoy learning about the unique traits and needs that make every breed special. Choosing me to care for your dog also offers the unique benefit of two welcoming locations. In Lancaster, Ohio, dogs enjoy a comfortable, home-based environment where they can relax and receive personalized attention as part of the family. In Pataskala, Ohio, dogs have access to 15 acres of open space for supervised exploration, exercise, and enrichment. While the property is unfenced, all outdoor activities are closely monitored to ensure safety. During their stay in Pataskala, dogs can relax alongside me in a cozy, home-like camper, providing a comfortable and secure environment that helps them feel at ease while away from home. My approach to canine care is rooted in compassion, consistency, and respect for each dog's individual personality. Whether caring for a playful puppy, an active adult, or a beloved senior, I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and enriching environment where dogs can thrive and feel like valued members of the family. Your dog's comfort, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. ABOUT ME I'm a stay-at-home mom and lifelong dog lover with over 13 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions. Because I am home full-time, your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day and night. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, they'll never feel like they're being left alone for long periods. I have three children who have grown up around large-breed dogs their entire lives, including Great Danes and Pit Bull Terriers. They understand how to interact respectfully with dogs, are well-mannered around dogs they don't know, and have learned the importance of giving each dog the space and attention they need to feel comfortable and secure. One of the unique benefits of choosing me is the flexibility of two care locations, allowing you to select the environment that best suits your dog's personality and needs: 📍 Lancaster, Ohio – A traditional home setting where your dog can enjoy a comfortable family environment, regular routines, and plenty of one-on-one attention. 📍 Pataskala, Ohio – A peaceful rural property with 15 acres of open land for supervised exploration, exercise, and enrichment. While the property is unfenced, all outdoor time is carefully supervised. Dogs stay with me in a cozy camper that serves as a comfortable, home-like space during their visit. Whether your dog prefers the familiarity of a traditional home environment or the adventure of wide-open spaces, the choice is yours. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience where your dog is treated like a member of the family from the moment they arrive until it's time to go home. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐾💕 When your dog stays with me, they'll be treated like part of the family. As a stay-at-home mom, I am available throughout the day to provide supervision, companionship, exercise, potty breaks, feeding, and plenty of affection. Your dog won't be left alone for long stretches, allowing me to maintain their routine and give them the attention they deserve. With more than 13 years of experience raising and caring for Great Danes and Pit Bull Terriers from puppyhood through their senior years, I understand that every dog has unique needs. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, an active adult, or a senior who requires extra patience and care, I am committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved during their stay. I strive to keep your dog's routine as consistent as possible by following feeding schedules, exercise preferences, medication instructions, and any special requests you provide. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel secure when away from home, and I work hard to create a calm, positive environment where they can relax and thrive. I offer two care settings, allowing you to choose the environment that best fits your dog's personality: Lancaster, Ohio – A traditional home environment ideal for dogs who enjoy a familiar family atmosphere, indoor comfort, and plenty of companionship. Pataskala, Ohio – A peaceful property with 15 acres of open space for supervised walks, exploration, and enrichment. While the land is unfenced, all outdoor activities are closely monitored. Dogs stay with me in a comfortable, home-like camper, ensuring they always have a safe and cozy place to rest. My three children have been raised around large-breed dogs their entire lives and understand how to respectfully interact with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. They help create a warm, family-oriented environment while respecting each dog's individual comfort level and boundaries. Most importantly, I believe every dog deserves individualized care. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, cuddle, or simply relax, I take the time to learn their personality and preferences so they can enjoy a stress-free stay while you're away. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, happy, and receiving the same level of care and attention I would give my own.

“John met us on his own time to get acquainted to the house and acclimated with the dogs. One of our dogs was very shy but John took the time and care to get her warmed up to him so she could comfortably walk with them. He's been on time every day and willing to work with our schedule even if there are last minute changes. You can tell he is doing this because he really enjoys and cares about the animals. Make sure to book him quick if he's still available!”
“Rachel was great with Grace! Provided us with updates on how the walks went, whether or not she was eating while we were gone, and her overall mood. The pics of Grace she included in the card were great, too! Thank a ton!”

You can tell he’s very genuine in his connection w/ his clients, and Teddy loved him immediately when he walked in the door. Teddy even gave him a kiss on the nose which is reserved for very special people!”

“Christi is very dependable and punctual. She does a great job caring for my baby and sends great pictures/ updates. So thankful to have someone so reliable taking care of my pup.”
About: I AM A CERTIFIED PET TRAINER.... I have TONS of energy for walking dogs. Average dogs walks with me are anywhere from 1/2 a mile to 2 miles and you will be able to see our route on Strava. I have had and taken care of dogs over the years and love them all! From therapy animals I have trained with gentleness and slow walks to fast walking/slow jog dogs! Sometimes all dogs need a little time outside to enjoy. I can walk dogs or do doggy drop in visits or basic command dog training. You can get a hold of me through Rover and I can check my availability that week. I will let you know in a 24 hour notice I can walk or not. Dogs are need the outdoors to run and play just like us so the more time out the better! Fist off, I AM A CERTIFIED DOG TRAINER. and I LOVE walking dogs! I’m big on one on one time with a dog especially during basic training time if you would like me for that along with drop in visits or dog walking. In other words, I won’t be holding 5 leashes on dog walks with different dogs! I prefer to walk most dogs that are active at LEAST a mile to get them in the open air and get those little doggy steps in! I do use an app that I will take a picture of at the end of the walk so you can see exactly where we went and how far! I’m in Pickerington and it’s a great spot for dog walking! (I can slow it down too and just relax and play in the yard if you have a slower, more relaxed dog) I also do cat care, fish, hamsters, you name it! Thanks!
About: I absolutely love animals! I grew up in a home full of dogs and cats, and helping care for them was such a big part of my life growing up. I now have a cat of my own, my fur baby, Fish 🐱 I recently graduated from PA school and won’t be starting my job until August, which means I have lots of availability this summer! Spending my days with animals honestly sounds like the perfect way to spend the season. I’d love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your pets! (: I don’t start work until August, so I have a pretty open schedule and lots of availability! I do have one week-long vacation planned this summer, but aside from that, my schedule is very flexible. I’d prefer to handle most pet care during the week, but I’m available on weekends as well! 😊 It’s a single-story home, so I’m always nearby and able to keep a close eye on any pets in the house. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and play!
“Patricia is absolutely wonderful! Always on time. Very patient. Great communicator—even sends photos of our guys with updates about the visits. They just love her! The peace of mind she provides is immeasurable.”
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is the genuine love and lifelong experience I have with animals. I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, and to me, pets are family. My own dogs are truly like my children, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. Growing up, we always had dogs in our home, and having animals as part of the family was something I always wanted to continue in my own life. Because of that, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, dependable, and caring when leaving your pet with someone else. I strive to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets feel at home and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m currently home during the day, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. We have a fenced-in yard and a doggie door, so dogs are able to safely go outside whenever they need to, making it easy for them to stay active and comfortable on their own schedule. Our dogs are truly part of our family, so caring for animals is already built into our everyday life. They have their own routines and habits, especially at bedtime. Every night when we take our son upstairs for bed, our dogs follow right along. One of them is usually waiting by the stairs looking at us like, “Come on, it’s bedtime!” It’s those little moments that show how loved and comfortable they are in our home, and I want every dog staying with us to feel that same sense of comfort and belonging. When pets are in my home, they will be treated like part of the family—just like my own dogs. My priority is always making sure they are safe, comfortable, well cared for, and getting plenty of love and attention while their owners are away. I want pets to feel relaxed and at home in our environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I understand the importance of being respectful of both their home and their pet’s routine. I will follow any instructions carefully to help pets stay comfortable in a familiar environment while also maintaining the same level of care, attention, and safety. No matter where I am caring for a pet, I believe trust is the most important thing. Animals need to feel safe with the person caring for them, and I always strive to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment for every pet I look after.

“Joy was amazing with our senior dog, Betsy! She set up a meet and greet before Betsy’s stay to make sure Betsy felt comfortable at drop off. Joy sent frequent updates when we were out of town and Betsy had a great stay.”
“Naaya had a wonderful time with Joe and I'm very happy about having had Naaya with him. He's kind and very responsive and made sure Naaya was well taken care of and kept us posted via regular texts. Would highly recommend Joe.”
“Amy was able to sit for my dog Ivy for four days on very short notice. She was very accommodating and really want the extra mile to work with me on schedule. She has a lovely home with a nice fenced backyard for your pup. Her fur baby Roxy is such a sweetheart and immediately was friendly with my 100 pound dog. Amy was amazing at sending me updates and pictures during Ivy’s stay. I would 100% use her again in the future!”
“Michelle and Justin were great with communicating with us while we were gone! I got daily pictures and updates knowing my dogs were good and having a fun time. They were also super accommodating with everything. I would book with them again in the future.”
“Exceptional sitter ! Elizabeth went above and beyond in her care for Tucker ! Very professional and did a great job communicating. Would definitely recommend !”
“I got pictures of Charlie while I was away and Will and Bibiana were incredibly flexible and easy to communicate with. I was so glad to have Charlie in a home and with dog people who took great care of him.”
“Best Dog Sitters ever!! I would highly recommend. Very Clean Home. Friendly and made Bronco feel comfortable. They sent pictures of my puppy reassuring he was safe and in good hands! I can truly say I’ll be booking with them all the time! They made my Vacation a Breeze.”
“Sally is nothing short of amazing. She has taken care of our two pit rescues over the holidays and each time she has done such a wonderful job. Our girls are polar opposite in the exercise department and she was able to tailor walks to both of them. She kept us informed on a regular basis and sent lots of picture updates. It is clear she is very experienced and truly passionate about animals. I would 1000% recommend Sally and feel lucky to have found her. Thank you!”
“I booked Lauren for the second time, and once again she was amazing! She takes such great care of my Xena and really caters to her needs, especially when it comes to food and routines. I love that she sends plenty of updates throughout the visit, it gives me so much peace of mind. She’s professional, attentive, and genuinely cares. I absolutely love her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
“Karen is our dogs second mom. She is such a caring and kind provider for our senior dog. We are always able to leave knowing our sweet dog is in the best hands ever. She has a loving home and is someone who truly loves your four-legged family.”
“Our dogs thoroughly enjoyed staying with Ms Kyla for the weekend. They were so tuckered out when they got home because she kept them so engaged. Very attentive and sent photos throughout their stay. We will definitely be using her services again and would recommend her for your sitting needs.”
“If I could give more than five stars, I would! Denise and her family kept our boys for twelve days and took such great care of them. We got lots of pictures of them being loved on and snuggled. It made us so happy to know that they were comfortable, safe, and happy while we were away. Our dogs’ medications and supplements were not an issue either. We wholeheartedly recommend Denise to anyone who is looking for a home away from home for their dogs.”
“Mary was absolutely amazing with Layla! She communicated consistently and thoughtfully, sending pictures at least twice a day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Layla usually goes on a bit of a hunger strike when I leave, but she was so comfortable with Mary that she ate every single meal. That alone says everything! Layla looked genuinely happy in every photo and was clearly very well cared for. Mary also shared how much she loved spending time with Layla, and it truly sounds like they both had a great time together. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be using Mary’s services again in the future.”
“Tamisha was wonderful with our big baby. He’s very energetic, playful and smart. She exercised him regularly and cared for him like her own. We would definitely request her services again.”
“They were amazing with Simba! Very attentive, caring, and kept me updated with lots of pictures. I felt at ease knowing he was in great hands. Definitely booking again! 🐾💛”
“I cannot express how amazing Emily and her family have been. I’ve had her watch my pup multiple times and each time he comes back happy and tired from all of the running and playing!”
“Summer was amazing! She was accommodating and understanding when we issues with dropoff and pickup. Lucky had a wonderful time with her and her family. Will definitely have her again as a sitter”
“I could not have asked for a better dog sitting experience. I have an older dog and I was very selective about who I left him with on my first vacation away from him. Ellen sent me regular updates and pictures so I could see how he was doing. Her communication was excellent. She accommodated my drop off and pick up times. When she had a request to keep another dog for a couple of days in the middle of my dog’s stay, she contacted me to ask if that would be alright. It seems my dog was very comfortable with her at her place, and I am very grateful for that.”
