“Alexandria did an excellent job with my dog, Pluto! She was very attentive and made me feel very comfortable keeping him! I absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter!”
“Ellen was phenomenal with both of our dogs. We got continuous updates and pictures. Very accommodating to our schedule. Our dogs loved her fenced in yard and Ellen. I would highly recommend and will be using her in the further. Can’t thank you enough!”
“Angie was wonderful with our one year old mini bernedoodle Reggie. This was only the second time he stayed in someone’s house and the first time with Angie ! She’s a happy, very positive person and gave Reggie lots of TLC while we were away. She also had to administer pills to him and she wasn’t bothered by that at all. We plan to use her services again in January 2026.”
“Stockton had such a great time with Maolin, and he has major separation issues. She made him feel comfortable instantly and took him on a lot of awesome adventures! Would definitely book again!”

“Our Goldendoodle Posey is a “spicy girl” and we couldn’t just leave her with anyone. Karla was our trainer at Take The Lead Dog Training and we were so impressed with her skills at helping to train our strong willed and somewhat naughty girl. I was able to enjoy my vacation and not worry about Posey because I knew she was in good hands. Posey got the chance to get some socialization with other dogs which she needed. I will definitely use Karla again.”
“Stacey and her family took great care of our pups. She sent photos and gave regular updates of how they were doing. Both dogs were happy and comfortable in their home.”
“Kirah and Mitch were amazing with Nash! They made sure to send videos and updates every day which we truly appreciate. We can tell our boy was so loved there and had so much fun with their dogs since he’s been sleeping nonstop since he has gotten home. We will for sure be using them in the future!”
“My dog had an amazing time playing with Paige’s dogs and her cat. They treated her like she was their own and sent many pictures to me, to see how she was going! Paige’s family is the best”
About: I've been a dog person for as long as I can remember, with over 13 years of hands-on experience covering walks, cuddles, vet visits, and everything in between. I recently lost my beloved pup to cancer, so I know firsthand what it means to love a dog deeply and care for them through every stage of life. I'm experienced with senior dogs and administering medication, and welcome large breeds . My partner Max is also home to help, so your pup is always in good hands. I only host one household at a time and am committed to giving your dog my full attention. Right now we have a pet-free home and will give your pup gets all of our attention. Your dog will be treated like a member of the family from the moment they arrive. Fri-Mon there is someone home at all times, so potty breaks can be kept to whatever schedule your dog requires. We don't often host midweek, but if we do, Tue-Thu we are able to limit alone time to approximately 4-5 hrs. I have a securely fenced yard for outdoor play and potty breaks, and will be present with you dog as long as they are outside (no leaving them alone despite the fence). Dogs are allowed on the furniture and in the bed. I'll stick to whatever routine works best for your pet, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special needs. I'm experienced with senior dogs and large breeds, and I'm happy to share regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing.
“Ksenia was wonderful with my dog Scarlet! I was so grateful she was as able to help me out when searching for a dog sitter last minute! Ksenia was a great communicator and sent many updates and photos throughout the weekend. I would highly recommend her & we will certainly be using her again!”
“Elizabeth and her family were wonderful. She kept us updated on our Fur baby which was very helpful. It was our first time being away from home, so we were a little anxious about the process. She made it very easy for us and we will definitely use her services again! In fact I'm pretty sure that Fur baby wants a playdate!”
“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received from Emily! Throughout the entire stay, I was kept updated with regular messages, beautiful photos, and detailed status reports, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my dog was not only well cared for but also genuinely loved and treated like family. I highly recommend this dog sitter to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and professional. I will definitely book again!”
“Thank you for taking such amazing care of Olive! The pictures of her were so beautiful and it’s clear she felt right at home with you. She’s already looking forward to her next slumber party!”
“Tamisha was wonderful. We had a family emergency and we had to fly out and she came through. She was so helpful and Eden had a great time. She kept us updated and sent photos. I would highly recommend Tamisha.”
“Andrew is wonderful! My Bri was so well taken care of, she almost didn't want to go home. Andrew provides a wonderful home and family environment. Clean, dogs play openly and the videos and pictures show them all having fun and even playing with the kids who adore having dogs around. On a personal note, anyone who fosters a blind and deaf dog shows his love fir animals (BTW, the blind dogs played as much as t h e rest of them). This is not a sitter, the dogs feel at home. Thank you so much.”

“While Debra doesn’t openly advertise for cat care, she did a marvelous job looking after both of mine. Being cats, they are weary of strangers. However, they seemed to warm up to her almost immediately. Debra was always on time and always sent pictures to reassure my pets’ wellbeing. She went above and beyond by taking care of my fish tank as well. I truly have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with Debra.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for 25 years. I have owned dogs from goldens to Boston’s and helped take care of dogs of all sizes in between. We currently have two one year old cats, who turned me from tolerable to cats to adoring them in a short period of time. I am currently between jobs and do not have anything interfering with my schedule. I am happy to do drop-ins or stays depending on availability Your pets will be taken care of as if you were home. I will do everything I can to maintain the same routine from breakfast/lunch/dinner times, to walks and playtime.
“Lauren was wonderful to my kitties and took great care and update pictures that put my worry at ease while I was away. Highly recommend her!!! She even left a little card and some chocolates which was the sweetest surprise to see upon returning. She is highly responsive and responsible.”
“Victoria is an absolute lifesaver and I will definitely book her again. She came through for me on SUPER short notice for a work trip and gave me complete peace of mind about my cats being well taken care of.”
“Pat was a lifesaver! We have a senior chihuahua with special needs who is very difficult to work with to say the least. Pat was very patient, kind, and understanding of her needs. She showed up every day on time and gave our little fur baby lots of love. Pat is like one of the family and we will be calling her in the future!”
“Vanessa did an amazing job! This was my first time using rover and Vanessa made the experience worry free, Jazz was well taken care of and will definitely book with Vanessa again.”
“Ellie did a fantastic job looking after our cat for a week. He’s shy with new people but warmed up to her quickly. Ellie’s communication was great. She left us regular updates with pictures. Would highly recommend and use her services again.”
“This is our second year of having Taylor cat sit for us while on vacation and I just can’t say enough good things. I think our cats behavior says the most about the quality of her care - our least social cat is currently waiting by the door for her at her normal check in time, even though we’re home and he’s been fed and has all of his favorite things. I wouldn’t trust anyone else in my home and with my pets, I cannot recommend her enough! We are so lucky to get to work with her, if you’re in need of a dependable and trustworthy sitter, this is your person.”
“Highly recommend Autumn! She truly cares deeply about animals. I had peace of mind knowing my cat was in such great hands— she even brought him a Christmas treat and toy which he loved!”
“Absolutely fantastic sitter. Jessica provided drop in visits for my cat, Tony. Tony is not an easy cat to care for when we are away as he is an indoor/outdoor cat and there is never a guarantee that he’ll come in when you really need him to. Jessica was patient and made sure he had access to food on his crazy terms she spent time hanging with him and loved on him. I would highly recommended her as a sitter for any pet.”
“Brooke was absolutely amazing with our babies! We were scared to leave them with someone that wasn't family or a friend but she eased those scares! She sent plenty of pics & always made sure to ask before giving something to the pups or doing walks with them ! We will definitely book her again in the future!!!! Thanks for being such a sweet soul to our babies! 😊”
About: I have experience in owning, fostering, and caring for cats of all ages. My goal is to make your fluffy feline feel safe, confident, and loved while you are away. I am prepared to both provide them an enriching experience whilst respecting their space and boundaries. And of course, giving plenty of snuggles if they want it!
“My kitties had great visits with Merri! I contacted her with very short notice but everything worked out smoothly and wonderfully. I will definitely contact her again in the future and recommend her to anyone with four-footers - both cats (I have four) and dogs!”
“Molly is very professional, kind, and capable. She put me at ease concerning the care of my cats, sent plenty of pictures, and followed the list I made. She even sent a video of her locking the door upon her departure. 100% recommend!”
“Tori was awesome and clearly a great energy cuz my senior kitty does NOT like people, she was out and welcoming Tori from her first visit. Definitely going to become a regular of mine and my baby ?”

“This was the first time for our Richmond! Lauren is super communicative and just getting pictures of Richmond put us at ease. We could tell he enjoyed himself. So awesome!”
“Karla is hands-down the best dog sitter I’ve ever experienced. Her love for dogs is immediately clear in everything she does. She has a spacious backyard that gives the dogs plenty of room to run and play, and her home is always clean, well-kept, and welcoming. What I appreciate most is how she allows dogs be themselves while ensuring a safe, well-managed environment. She pays close attention to group dynamics, making sure all the dogs interact well and play safely. I felt completely at ease leaving Bruno in her care, and that peace of mind is priceless. I would book with Karla again and again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
“This was my first time ever having a dog sitter and Michelle made it such an easy and great experience. Michelle provided lots of pictures and videos and made sure my Aussie got plenty of attention and exercise. I highly recommend Michelle and would definitely leave my dog with her again.”
“I was so pleased with the services provided by Amber while watching my little one. She interacted with her wonderfully and gave her lots and lots of attention. Amber kept me updated with pictures and messages and I feel truly comfortable with leaving my dog with her, and I look forward to the next opportunity.”
“Sydney was a huge lifesaver when I needed someone to watch my dog while in town for a few days. She was awesome with my dog Atlas, who’s usually pretty skeptical of new people, and he loved playing with her dog Honey”
About: I previously owned a dog walking and pet-sitting business for over four years, and I absolutely loved it! I walked dogs that ranged from 1-16 years of age, and administered oral medication and provided insulin to diabetic dogs. I have also fostered dogs four separate times, ages ranging from 1-6 years. I have 4 years of exotic animal care experience as well! I work from home full time on a very flexible schedule. I can move my daily plans around to fit your needs, and will update my availability to include changes ASAP. There is one other dog and two friendly cats in the home. My partner is experienced in animal husbandry and loves pets just as much as me. We are sure to give them plenty of love, patience, and attention! I can take furry friends on extra walks if requested, and I can send you pictures throughout your pets' stay!
About: I adopted a hound mix from the shelter who was so afraid of the world and has become the most well-adjusted, friendly boy in the world! I also adopted a stray dog in December who has already grown leaps and bounds! I would love to pet sit/dog walk for you and love taking dogs to their own private sniff spots when they spend numerous days with me :) I am pet-sitting full time, so I have all the time to focus on caring for pets :) I am willing to come to your home anytime of day or pet sit in my home, 7 days a week. I have two friendly dogs at home and can watch your pet at home. Otherwise, I am more than happy to pet sit at your home! Dogs stay on leash unless we are at a fenced sniffspot, as approved by owner :)
About: Hi! I am a pet owner and enthusiast. Since I am a professor, I work from home and have a lot of free time in summers and holidays to hang out with your wonderful dog. Additionally, my husband works from home so your pooch will never be alone and will have frequent walks around the many green spaces in Franklinton. Our favorite is the river. I love getting to know a pet’s wants, anticipate their anxieties, and most importantly play! My work requires me to be on-site part time, so I am quite flexible for overnight stays, extra long walks, and boarding at my place with my sheltie Flora. I have a two bedroom apartment with my sweet, spayed sheltie Flora who loves to play and take naps. I am quite active so I would be happy to take your dog on long epic walks.
“As always Reign came home happy and calm from day care. She was super excited to see Nicole and Kieran when she got there! Thanks for always taking great care of our fur baby🙂”
“Nicole is an excellent caring host. She has a wonderful large grassy backyard with a big tree providing shade and has a pack of nice regulars that are all easygoing . Overall it was an excellent experience for Cookie.”

About: Being a senior makes me old school, like being exactly on time or a bit early. I subscribe to the Dog Whisperer tenet of being ALPHA and pack leader to dogs in my care. A dog in a pack is a happy dog. I only use positive reinforcement. Ex.: dog pulling on the leash can be fixed by changing directions every 4 steps to the left, walking in a square, this encourages the dog to slow down and watch his human. Dog hair is a welcome addition to a life well lived, that's why my dogs get furniture and bed privileges. One fact about my dogs i pay attention to is how many sips of water they take. On a very hot day I've seen 30-40. This helps me know easily how my pet is feeling so I can react accordingly. Maybe time to put the soft Frisbee away! I'm fully retired, and rise early, so morning walks are easy. Breakfast is next, and 1hr later another walk outside. I like to prep a bag to take to the park. My fav is Schiller Park in German Village. I don't own a pet currently, I've had some health issues that are now resolved. Having been an owner twice in my life has given me many many experiences so I am flexible.
About: I provide dedicated, attentive care tailored to your pet's unique personality and routine. Having spent years caring for a wide variety of animals for friends and family, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, feeding, playtime, or giving your pet extra love and attention while you are away, I prioritize their safety, happiness, and comfort. I am highly dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to giving you complete peace of mind while you're out. I have excellent availability throughout the summer and am open to caring for your pets seven days a week! My schedule is highly flexible Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On Mondays and Thursdays, I look after my two young grandchildren, which means I will be hanging out at home with them. If your pet loves a lively, family-friendly environment, they will fit right in on those days; otherwise, I can easily tailor my focus to match their preferred routine! Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a spacious fenced-in backyard perfect for safe outdoor playtime and bathroom breaks. Your furry family member will have plenty of company here, as I have two friendly dogs and a welcoming cat who are all completely accustomed to sharing their space with new guest dogs. Whether they want to run laps in the yard, socialize with my pets, or just find a cozy spot to relax, my home is a secure and loving environment.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2015, but I’ve had pets all my life. I truly treat every animal like family. Caring for my pitbull for 13 years and my cat for 8 years, immediately after that, I understand deep, loyal love. What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive energy. Pets feel safe, seen, and comforted in my care. I’m currently in the slow season with my company and have lots of time to dedicate to taking care of your fur babies. I have 2-4 hours of time I may have to work a day but the rest is becoming besties with your bestie. ☺️ I have a fenced in yard and no existing pets. Your fur baby will feel nice and safe like they are on vacation too with lots of love and attention.
“Michele is a very kind, animal loving, and extremely knowledgeable on pet care. With two days of day care in her home, my rescue puppy now is much more confident than she was before meeting Michele. She got plenty of exercise and attention!”
“Ginny had a great time at Sean’s house! It was hot today so he kept her inside and she was good and tired when she got home. She even made me a painting which Sean sent a video of. We will definitely book again!”

“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: Hi!🫶🏼 I Would love to help care for your animals in any capacity. I have extensive experience with animals and have worked at a dog boarding kennel in the past in addition to growing up with pets. I have worked with aggressive dogs and am comfortable reading a dog’s cues to prevent escalation. I currently have a Bernese mountain dog who is always down for a play date and a cat who tolerates her antics haha. Bonus- I’m an ER nurse, far from a vet tech, but good for med admin if needed! With that, I do work 3 shifts a week(12 hours) that vary. So while my schedule can be sporadic, it can also be very open! I work full time 3 days a week and use rover sitters myself for those days. My schedule varies, but I am great for last minute needs as long as I’m not working! I try to stick to your pet’s routine and rules! I am also very good at recognizing body language/behaviors and therefore can prevent “incidents” from occurring like aggression on walks. I’m also happy to bring along my Berner for a play date if you’d like!
“Victoria has been amazing! We have booked with her several times and my dog genuinely loves her which is saying a lot since he is very particular when it comes to people!”
“Vanessa is such an incredible support. She thinks quick and stays in control. We have a reactive dog and she always provides a safe and supportive environment.”
About: I’ve cared after dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities! I have spent extra time with puppies, I could help in teaching various tricks and obedience behaviors using balanced training. I also have a knack for cooperative care training, if your dog requires any special kind of attention. Anxious and nervous dogs hold a special place in my heart, nothing is more rewarding than watching them break out of their shell. Dogs rule my life, I like it that way. I myself get the zoomies and have the energy to burn your pup out!! My home can accommodate any needs, as well as I. Busy schedule? No sweat, consider me a body double! I have three well socialized and friendly dogs to keep yours company if they want it. I also have crates, if your dog prefers some independence. I have a fenced in yard, and plenty of yard to run on. I keep a very structured routine and max play groups at 4 dogs. The perfect home if your dog cannot tolerate high volume facilities.

“Taylor has been very helpful. She has come and walked our very energetic dog on a weekly basis and I have had 0 difficulties getting ahold of her or getting feedback about how everything went. She is very sweet and a great choice for your pet!”
“We could tell when we first met Nicole, Dexter would be just fine. She let us know how he done on their walk and even stayed around with him for a while afterwards. We will definitely contact Nicole again when we need some one to help with Dexter.”
“After 2 walks with Mallory, I'm pleased. Jimmy knew what she was here for the second walk. He's tired after, which is what I wanted. I added a pic of him sleeping tonight (1 1/2hrs) after his walk. His eyes are rolled back in his head, and snoring. Mallory is very kind and obviously loves animals. I'm so grateful to have found a great match. Excited to see Jimmy be more active.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family fostered and cared for cats, which sparked my lifelong passion for animal care and behavior. Professionally, I’ve worked in a dog daycare, pet store, and boarding environment, and have spent the past two years working at an animal shelter. Through these roles, I’ve gained hands on experience caring for cats, dogs, reptiles, and small mammals. I am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and have experience working with canines who have behavioral challenges such as stranger danger, reactivity, and resource guarding. I am trained in reading canine body language and adjusting my approach to help pets feel safe and comfortable. Cats are also a particular passion of mine. In addition to caring for social cats, I have experience socializing feral and semi-feral cats and working with shy or nervous kitties who need extra patience and understanding. I am also comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and caring for multi-pet households. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work at an animal shelter Wednesday through Saturday. Because of this, I am primarily available Sundays through Tuesdays for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting services. I may have drop in availability the other days after 7 pm. I do my best to keep my availability up to date and will always communicate clearly about scheduling so you know exactly what to expect. My goal is to keep your pets as comfortable as possible by maintaining their normal routine while you’re away. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels, so I tailor my care to each individual animal. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, enrichment activities, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and respectful presence nearby, I am happy to meet them where they are. I prioritize safety, patience, and positive interactions, especially with nervous or shy pets. Communication is extremely important to me. During visits, I provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Ksenia was wonderful with my dog Scarlet! I was so grateful she was as able to help me out when searching for a dog sitter last minute! Ksenia was a great communicator and sent many updates and photos throughout the weekend. I would highly recommend her & we will certainly be using her again!”
“Elizabeth and her family were wonderful. She kept us updated on our Fur baby which was very helpful. It was our first time being away from home, so we were a little anxious about the process. She made it very easy for us and we will definitely use her services again! In fact I'm pretty sure that Fur baby wants a playdate!”
“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received from Emily! Throughout the entire stay, I was kept updated with regular messages, beautiful photos, and detailed status reports, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my dog was not only well cared for but also genuinely loved and treated like family. I highly recommend this dog sitter to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and professional. I will definitely book again!”

“Kathryn took great care of my dog! She provided daily updates and pics. And went above and beyond by getting him an outfit to keep him warm during some random low temp days! Highly recommend!”
“Justen was very accommodating and flexible with drop off and pickup. He sent pictures and made me feel secure that my pup was safe and being cared for as if she were his own!”
“Blue has been watched by Dawn and Robert since he was about 9 months old, he is now 2 and still LOVES going to their house. He loves all the attention he gets from the grandkids, and the huge backyard of course! I know this family loves blue like their own 🥰”
“Great experience for Dakota’s first boarding through Rover. We did a meet and greet so I could see how Dakota fit in with the family. No worries at drop off, great communication, and quick responses and updates with pictures.”
