“Dawn was fantastic! She provided daily updates on my dachshund Henry so I knew he was in good hands. She cared for Henry as though he was her own dog. Would definitely rebook with Dawn.”
“Karl was amazing watching our dog for the weekend! She is super anxious and he had the patience to let her warm up. He was even able to walk her, which our other dog watchers aren’t able to! He also provided daily updates so we always knew how she was doing. We will definitely be using him again in the future.”
“I have left my 2 pups w Sally, many times, short and longer stays. Sally is THE best caregiver. They are happy to go and in good health when I return. Being in Sally’s home, helps me enjoy the time away. I highly recommend Sally’s care! Jo”
“Maolin was the best and took such good care of Avery! She sent daily updates of their adventures on walks and to the dog park. With her we knew our pup was safe and happy over a long trip out of town!”
“Lauren is absolutely wonderful! Her kind and caring nature shows through in the way she cares for our pups. Lauren is very detailed oriented, giving a report on how our pups got along with her dog and each other, what they ate, if they rested. We feel very blessed to have Lauren to help us care for our fur family.”
“We had a great experience with Ellen this past long weekend. She took wonderful care of our goldendoodle and made the whole process easy and stress free. Communication was excellent throughout — we received regular updates and photos that gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She truly went above and beyond for us. Highly recommend!”
“My boarding experience with Lauren has been great. I felt really comfortable knowing she was well cared for during my extended trip away. Lauren is easy to communicate with and very responsive. We also do daycare with her and my Yorkie enjoys going back, which says a lot since she’s usually pretty anxious in environments outside of the house. Lauren is very kind and treats my little one like her own, and I really appreciate the care she gives her. We’ve had a great experience overall.”
“Jessica was an absolute delight. My dog Lucy loved her as soon as she met her. Jessica kept me updated throughout the weekend, sending me pictures and letting me know how much fun they were having. We were in town for a wedding. Knowing Lucy was being so well cared for allowed my husband and I to enjoy our family and the festivities. Thanks Jessica!”
“Olivia was very responsive and professional. We were looking for a late booking for a spontaneous getaway and she was amazing! She took wonderful care of our headstrong Chessie named Guapo. She kept us updated with photos and their activities. We would trust her anytime we need a sitter again! Thank you Olivia!”
“Zephyr had a great time with Cindy! Even though he was a bit anxious at first, he felt comfortable in no time. Got lots of pictures and knew he was in good hands.”
“Alexandria is the best, she is so sweet and my fur babies love her and love hanging out with her when I am traveling. She offered so many wonderful pics and updates and kept my boys busy and active and they had an absolute blast with her.”
“Mary was an excellent host. Her two dogs Ellie and Fufu were so welcoming and Laika meshed in with ease. Cannot recommend more highly and I looked forward to booking again and again.”
“Rayann was very friendly & warm & easy to communicate with. I’m appreciative of the care she provided for my kitten while my spouse and I traveled abroad for 2 weeks. I would surely recommend her services, and I will surely book her again in the near future.”
“Incredibly thoughtful and personal communicators. Most of all, our dog loves being with Michelle, Nicholas, and their dog Waffles. We feel extremely comfortable.”
“Emily was great! This was our first time using a sitter instead of a boarding facility. She was quick to respond to messages and sent pictures. Our girl came home rested and happy instead of stressed out and exhausted from no sleep. Thank you!”
“Katie took great care of my pup during her week-long stay. Katie sent daily updates and in every single picture my dog had a huge smile on her face. She loved hanging with the crew in the fenced in backyard and creeping on the neighbors in the big front window. My dog barely stayed awake on the 15 minute drive home after I picked her up. Highly recommend, will be using again in the future!”
“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”
“This was our first experience using Rover. Hallie was wonderful! She treated our pup like her own, keeping us updated. He and her dogs became best friends, and everyday was a playdate! We could not be happier. We look forward to using her again!”
“Brynn took such great care of my senior dog and was very responsive and proactive throughout his stay with her. I would highly recommend her and will book again with Brynn in the future!”
“My dog Bella has been cared for by Andrew twice now, and both times she’s been absolutely happy and well taken care of. The second time we went my dog got excited as we pulled up to the house, remembering what a good time she had during her last visit. Highly recommended!”

“Leann did a wonderful job watching my two kitties while I was away. She’s a great communicator and always sent pictures from each visit. Made me so happy to see my one cat all snuggled in her lap each visit. My other is much more shy, but I think with a few more days she would have won her over too! Thank you, Leann!”
“Kelly was fantastic! I trusted her completely when leaving my cat for the first time. She was responsive, caring, and made the whole experience stress-free. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Sadie-Jean went above and beyond with checking in on my cat while I was out of town - she had consistent communication, was very proactive in reaching out and making sure she knew where all of my cats things were, gave him a great play session and treats, and was so sweet throughout the whole process! This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t have picked a better person to check in on James. I know that he had a better time because of her visit, and it was great peace of mind to know that such a reliable person would be there to give him a little love.”
“I can't reccomend Taylor enough! She took such good care of my cats and lizard while we were on vacation for a week. We have a very shy and standoffish cat and it was clear to me that Taylor made them all feel so safe and comfortable based on how willing the cats were to let her snap pics of them every day - shes a great photographer too! Great communication, punctual, flexible (thank you again for feeding and keeping an eye on our bearded dragon!), and just all around a wonderful sitter who we will absolutely be booking with again. I would trust her in my home and with my pets any day. Thank you Taylor!”
“Ioana was so great, made us feel so relieved that our cats were being looked after and she took lots of pictures and played with them, and immediately contacted me when she was concerned that their litter looked a bit low to ask where she could find more. Will definitely try to hire her again if we go out of town again!”
“JoVonna took such great care of our boy while we were out of town. We could rest so much easier knowing someone had checked on him and gave him love.”
“Rachel has watched my active, social cat twice now. I think both bookings were rather last minute and I appreciate how flexible and communicative she is. But more importantly, my cat loves her! He is more relaxed and less anxious when I return than when I've have other sitters watch him in the past. Highly reccommend!”
“Thea is truly wonderful! She is considerate to needs, very caring, and gives exceptional care! Having her to watch my Maya makes it so I can be away and not worry. I am so glad I found her!”
“Super thankful for Abby! My husband and I were initially nervous with booking in general but Abby walked us through everything and had great communication. The cats loved her the first time they met her and everything went great while we were out of town. She absolutely put our minds to ease and took amazing care with great updates!”
“Heather was great! She was flexible with us when my grandfather passed away and was able to add a few more days for us. Heather is kind and really took care of our fur baby. We will be booking with Heather again!”
“Kelly was super responsive when I had to cancel a day last minute and thankfully fed the stray that’s been on our porch! Will use her again! Thankful to her for sure!”
“Emma took great care of my cats while I was away. They enjoyed her visits and they all allowed themselves to be photographed! It always makes me feel good to know my cats are in good hands while I am away.”
“Sally was amazing! My cat is usually very shy, but she was able to get him to come out and greet her. She is also very attentive, friendly, and provides the best pictures.”
“Was gone for a very short trip and Sean was there to make sure my cat was taken care of. Incredibly attentive and kept me updated. Always showed up at the appropriate times to feed her breakfast and dinner + cleaned her litter. Very kind and would 100% rebook for my next trip!!! Thank you so much Sean!”
“Isabel is kind, smart, and a true animal lover. She took excellent care of my cat, who requires both force-feeding and oral medication. She was always punctual, sent plenty of pictures and videos, and consistently went above and beyond. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in her care. I will definitely book her again!”

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I’ve grown up with small and big dogs around, and now have a sweet medium sized girl of my own! I have a passion for the care and keeping of all dogs, and my pup will happily accept any new play dates! I work a hybrid job and am home Monday - Thursday. On Fridays, I will typically go into office anywhere from 4-6 hours out of the day. Otherwise, I’m home sending emails in between walking and playing with pups! At my home, it is nothing but me, my pup & plenty of room for love and play! I am able to crate, potty train, walk and train your pets if need be! I take walks around my neighborhood daily, and am able to accommodate to your pets needs whatever they may be.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for many years. I love animals and treat them with respect and care. I genuinely love being around animals. I’m currently working part time and taking college classes mostly online. During most days I have time to walk dogs and care for your pets. I have my own 1 bedroom apartment with a dog park on site and plenty of grassy areas to go for walks. I do not have any pets of my own in my apartment.
“Cindy was wonderful with my little guy. She sent updates throughout the day which was great. She is incredibly kind and welcoming. I can’t wait for my guy to spend time with her again!!”
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.
“Thomas took great care of my pup and he had a great time. Thomas sent plenty of updates and was very communicative and quick to respond. I could tell when I picked my dog up that he had not felt stressed or anxious, which is a huge relief.”
“Deanna was a wonderful sitter for our Sparky’s first night away from us. She was understanding about her separation anxiety and kept us updated. Hope to use her services again!”
“Mary was great. Very flexible. Set up a pre-stay meet for our 2 puppies. She offered pickup and drop off. And she sent videos of the dogs playing while they were there. Terrific experience!”
“Katie was amazing sending a bunch of pictures and videos and Mika had lots of fun! I was particularly touched by her new bestie Stevie :) Thanks for taking such good care of Mika!”
“Annie was wonderful with our 5 month old puppy! Mochi can be a handful, but she did a great job making sure he had the best time and gave lots of updates. Her pup was a great playmate for Mochi ☺️ We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“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!”
About: I care for one pet family at a time, giving your fur kiddos undivided attention! There’s nothing better than earning the trust of a shy pet, seeing a tail wag or a making a pup smile, and knowing they feel safe and loved while their person is away. A mutual stress relief, hanging with your pet is the best part of my day! I work from home full time, and provide frequent potty and sunshine breaks. I am available before 8 and after 5 for pickups/drop offs/drop ins. My home is designed with pets in mind — safe, calm, and full of love. I live in a clean, cozy space where cats and pups can explore, nap, and get comfy. I’m mindful of every detail, from secure doors and windows to quiet corners for shy or senior pets. My own two friendly, well-behaved cats are used to sharing their space and love making new friends, but I can easily provide separation if your pet prefers solo time. I follow feeding and medication schedules carefully and keep a close eye on every guest’s comfort and well-being. You can expect regular updates and photos, so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and cared for as if they were my own.
“Sox and I LOVE Dawn and Spike. Dawn takes the best care of our boy and we never have to worry, which is such a blessing. Spike is so much fun and Sox always comes home zonked. There really is no one better!”
About: I’ve loved pets my whole life! Whether it be watching my neighbors dog and taking it for walks, or watching my friends whilst they are gone, I am a go to for sitting! After having my own dog at college for 6 months (sadly he is now away), I’ve decided to introduce pet care into my life again! Our dog was a 9 year old lab, so I have experience administering pills, etc. I’m a student so I only have certain classes during the week so my availability is high! We have previously had a dog in our house so I am perfectly capable of handling a pet with my routine! I treat any pet like my own, ensuring the best environment based on the individual pets needs. This means keeping a watchful eye and ensuring the pet is not endangering itself.
About: I have extensive experience in geriatric and special needs care. I've given injections, medicine, eye drops, ect. and I'm not afraid to learn more special care for your pet! I'm currently working from home and am able to care for your pet most of the day. We don't travel much and like doing house work/projects so we are home most of the time. We have a fenced in backyard for your dog to run, play, and potty. We have an assortment of dog rope toys and tennis balls, a variety of treat types, a large dog bed, and an XL dog crate if needed.

“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!”
“Isabel was very flexible. My address was in rover incorrectly and she made the effort to still complete the walk with my dog. Not to mention she also grabbed our package from our old apartment. She went above and beyond.”
About: I’ve been walking my two dogs around downtown for more than 5 years—we know all the best spots! I nursed one of my dogs during surgical recovery and both are technically geriatric at this point, so I have experience with dogs of nearly all ages. Would love to get to know your fur babies! I work remotely downtown so my schedule is fairly flexible. Some days I have no meetings at all! Even when I do, they are few and far between. I generally tend to stay local to Downtown when I’m not working too. Plenty of walks and playtime, always making sure to keep an eye on them so they stay out of trouble. My dogs love to snuggle so we often curl up on the couch with a good show or movie!
About: I grew up with dogs and currently have two cats that I treat like my own children! I’ve done petsitting for years for both cats and dogs of various breeds. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets, having me feed them, walk their dogs, spend time with their cats, and keep litter boxes tidy. I work full-time and have a hybrid schedule, so I have flexibility on days I work from home and weekends. I can spend the day at your home or drop in as needed, but due to having pets of my own, can’t always do overnight stays. Since I live in a small apartment with two cats, I can’t bring your pet to stay with me. Instead, I’m more than happy to drop in periodically or spend the day at your home, making sure your pets are happy, fed, and get some social interaction!
“Jennifer was really assuring through the process of using rover for the first time! She provided a lot of pictures and details and did things I forgot to ask for, like refilling my dog’s water bowl. I felt really comfortable with her walking my dog and am happy knowing he got some extra care and attention!”
“Morgan is excellent and she does a great job with Pablo! Her communication is excellent, and she is always on time and very friendly with Pablo. I highly recommend her.”
“Thea was great with our two pups! She communicated really well and was super prompt. Would totally recommend her / rebook her again for future walks.”
“Sean is absolutely wonderful, and I will definitely be using him again to help with my 175lb great dane. I have never used Rover and was nervous about using it given my dog’s size/needs, but that did not matter for Sean. He is punctual and provides great care regardless of the size! A+ rating from me!”
“Jovanna was great from the minute we met her! She was very confident and professional. She took great care of our dog and we’ll definitely call her again!! Takes great care like your pet is her pet!!”
About: Over the course of my childhood, my family and I never had less than 2 dogs at a time. I have dog sat a handful of times, both for multiple nights or just fun play dates! I offer gentle, loving, and smiley fun for your awesome dog! I want you and your dog(s) to feel confident that I am a safe, kind choice! I am pursuing my doctorate’s in Occupational Therapy at OSU! I am free Friday and Saturday, with occasional class requirements. These are great days for me to care for your dog! While I won’t be offering services at my apartment, I believe in safety, love, and respect for you and your pets while I care for them. It can be scary trusting your dog with someone new, but by growing up with many dogs myself I can assure you that I embody those beliefs in my care.
About: I have grown up with dogs all of my life anywhere from a German Shepard to a Dachshund. I understand the importance of trusting and depending on those who care for your loved ones (because dogs are a part of the family too). I love long walks around the neighborhood and ensuring each dog is cared for specifically tailored to their needs and owners preference. Would love a dog of my own however living vicariously through my clients and supporting them in their care of their animals is the next best thing! Flexible on the weekends and mornings/evenings during the week. Caring for animals is just as much a stress reliever for me as it is for them and their owners. Can’t wait to help! I am flexible in availability and capacity for the client needs. I can be adaptive contingent on environment, medical and ability considerations of the animal(s).

“Camryn has been amazing for this first 3 weeks. She scheduled a consultation on short notice, and has been great with timing, communication, and most importantly, care of our dog. We’ll be hiring her for a long time!”
About: I’m a stay at home dog mom myself looking to make some extra money doing something I love! I grew up with golden retrievers and when I moved out at 18, got my first dog Cozy. He is a husky German Shepherd. I have years of experience walking dogs for family friends and know how to properly care for dogs like their family. I am a part time student at Ohio state. My only other obligations are being a wife and taking care of my 16 year step daughter which is flexible! I would care for your pet like their my own, i’m very attentive and I’m open to lots of detailed instruction I would take lots of pictures and just making sure that your best friend is as comfortable as possible.
About: I grew up in a small, rural, community in Vermont. The common practice was to just have the neighborhood kids do everything: alter serving at the local church, babysitting the kids, and petsitting when people went out of town. In my neighborhood, spread out over fields and forests, I became the default petsitter. I've been watching dogs and cats since middle-school and have enjoyed spending time with pets because my parents wouldn't let us adopt a cat until I was in high school. Now, as an adult I'm always the go-to friend for petsitting when people go out of town. I'm looking forward to meeting your pet!! I'm a graduate student writing her dissertation. My time is super flexible (available every day of the week, early morning until early evening) and I'm looking to visit pets to lower my blood pressure, provide structure to my life, and make your life easier in the process. I'm also a runner, so I see it as a fun challenge to make pet stops part of my daily exercise routine. As a graduate student I am really detail oriented and am good at following directions, including those you leave about proper care for your pet and your home.
About: 10 years professional experience in animal care; 7 years as a vet assistant, other experience as a zookeeper, lab animal tech, and in an animal shelter I work part time and go to school; available during the day and evenings mostly. I work part time Fridays and Saturdays. My days with your pet will focus on their safety and comfort. We will have fun if they want to go out, or hang out indoors if they are nervous. :) I live in an apartment in a quiet neighborhood with no roomates. No other pets in the home. Neighbors with indoor dogs and fenced yards. Willing to restrict "walks" to my courtyard or walk pets one at a time if that is your preference.

“I can’t say enough great things about Emily! She is so kind and responsive and took the best care of my dog Chip. I got multiple updates and pictures everyday. It was so reassuring knowing he was being loved and cared for. He had the best time with her and her dog Kove! I would absolutely have Chip stay with her again!”
“Karl was amazing watching our dog for the weekend! She is super anxious and he had the patience to let her warm up. He was even able to walk her, which our other dog watchers aren’t able to!

“Mickeala Was so amazing with both my cats. One being a complete curious introverted cat and the other being a clingy curious extrovert. I was worried about them with dogs as they’ve never been exposed but her experience and professionalism got them acclimated so well! She was thorough and sent tons of videos and pictures which clearly showed how comfortable they truly were. They were completely themselves as if they were at home! She was very flexible with our schedule which so happened to be all over the place which required several stay extensions and easily worked with and accommodated us. I will absolutely be using her for all of our pet care needs!”
“Rayann was very friendly & warm & easy to communicate with. I’m appreciative of the care she provided for my kitten while my spouse and I traveled abroad for 2 weeks. I would surely recommend her services, and I will surely book her again in the near future.”
