“Karl kept us updated and sent pictures daily. He clearly enjoys spending time with dogs. Because of this, we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation. We didn’t have to worry about whether or not our dog was being well cared for. He was flexible with drop off and pick up times.”
“This was our first time using Rover. We selected Ellen because she had many positive reviews as well as multiple returning clients. We made the right choice selecting Ellen to watch our fur babies. She is extremely accommodating and understanding. Our 2 pups have a number of quirks, but Ellen worked with them and gave them a home away from home. She sent multiple pictures a day and some videos, along with an update of the daily activities. We will absolutely be using Ellen if we go away and need a sitter. I cannot speak any higher of Ellen. Highly recommend! Thanks again Ellen for putting our minds at ease.”
“Sally seemed to enjoy caring for my dog. I was sent lots of pictures and received many updates. My dog was not stressed and content when I picked her up. Thumbs up!”
“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!”
“For the first time ever, I had to leave my dog son for more than a day and I was definitely very uncertain on this whole you know . I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch over my best friend and care for him like they did. Had me at ease while I was gone the whole time if you’re looking for the same reassurance, I was looking no further!”
“My pup loves going to stay with Dawn! She’s so sweet and takes the best care of him! She sends photos of him throughout his stay, too, so I know he’s having a good time! Would always recommend! (:”
“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!”
“Rayann watched my puppy for almost a week. She sent daily updates and pictures on how he was doing. She was a great communicator and took great care of Mav. He had a blast playing with her and her family. I will definitely use her whenever I go out of town next.”
“Mary did a great job with sending daily updates and following my thorough instructions for my senior dog with cancer. He seemed to get lots of positive stimulation with her and her dogs. Would definitely book again.”
“I had the best experience, leaving my dog with Cindy. She was amazing at caring for him and sending me photos and videos along the way. She was also super understanding when I shared that my flight has been canceled and that I needed to book an extra day. She continue to care for my dog, an updated me more along the way as well. Super appreciative of her and can’t wait till the next booking.”
“Our pups had an amazing time! Alex took great care to love them as if they were her own and gave us plenty of updates. Would definitely recommend”
“Lauren looked after my baby while I was out of town, I was nervous because it was his first time spending the night away from me, but it’s safe to say that he had the time of his life! He was able to socialize with other dogs which was definitely a plus for me, she was also super sweet and professional. So happy to have found her ❤️”
“Amber was very enthusiastic and accommodating even before we dropped off our little girl. This was our first experience with Rover and she and her family made it a great one! She showed us around her home, where our pup would be playing outside, and made us feel right at ease! She sent lots of pics and video throughout the weekend so we knew Shasta was having a great time! Would definitely recommend her as a sitter. We’ll use her in the future for sure!!”
“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!”
“We had a great experience booking with Michelle & Nicholas! We did a meet and greet to see how our dog Flynn and their dog Waffles would get along, and they became good buddies! Michelle & Nicholas sent daily updates with lots of photos. They have a fenced in backyard that our Flynny loved exploring. We would highly recommend & plan to book again!”
“Katie and her fur baby Ruth were absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for watching our Luna. During the whole stay Katie sent many many updates of pictures and videos which helped put our mind at such ease! Katie having a house with a fenced in yard was a key part that we were looking for and Ruth (her goldendoodle) was such an awesome bonus! Thank you Katie so much and we will truly rebook again if we are in need in the Columbus area!!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Brynn was amazing! She was super communicative, send pictures and took great care of Basil! She really helped me out in a pinch- would use again 10/10!”
“Hallie was awesome with our dog for a long weekend trip. She has a nice clean home with a fenced in yard. We felt really comfortable the whole time and did not worry about Foss at all. He did great with her pups and it’s obvious she cares so much about our dog’s well-being which is exactly what we want when leaving our dog with someone. She was quick to respond to all of our messages, too.”
“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!”
“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.”

“My cat looked so happy in the photos and im very thankful to have had Sadie-Jean be the one to check-in on him and not only give him attention but play with him and treat him like the king he thinks he is. Thank you so much!!”
“Leann was amazing as always. This was my third time booking with her and I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. She's dependable and communicative, and knowing she's there to check on our cats made me feel that much more comfortable being away from them. 100% recommend her!”
“I’ve booked Jovonna a couple times now and she’s does an amazing job every time. My cats love her and are happy babies when I get home. Jovonna sends lots of updates and pictures while siting. Making it easy to enjoy my time away from my babies while knowing they’re being taken care of.”
“Iona is the best! We have hired her multiple times (and will keep hiring her!) because she always does such a great job taking care of our two cats. She communicates clearly and is reliable. We’d absolutely recommend her to anyone.”

“Vanessa was great with our kitty, Charlie! This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous but Vanessa helped ease my mind and was very communicative. Loved getting notifications and pictures! We'll definitely book with her again.”
“Emma was amazing! I have a very shy kitty, Rudy, who needs to take a couple medications per day, and Emma was not only successful in making sure Rudy was well taken care of, but she also won Rudy over. He loves her! I would rebook and recommend Emma without hesitation!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Maggie took wonderful care of my girl Samantha. She spend a lot of extra time with her and gave her lots of cuddles ! Also took time to go above and beyond and clean the litter box. Would highly recommend her to care for any of your furry loved ones !”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Italian Village
Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
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.
“Sally was so great with my pup Marge. I have a really hard time finding people I trust with her, as she is a bit reactive and can be a little mischevious ? Marge was so excited to go back to her house, and Sally kept me informed with updates all throughout the day that brightened my work day. I’d definitely recommend her!”
“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!”
“We were initially apprehensive about hiring someone to take care of our beloved Shih Tzu-Yorkshire terrier mix, Nikko. However, Cindy’s exceptional service quickly put our worries to rest. She went above and beyond in every aspect of her care. Nikko had a fantastic time at Cindy’s daycare and even made some new doggie friends. Cindy kept us updated throughout the entire process, sending pictures and providing detailed updates on Nikko’s activities and well-being. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Nikko and his happiness. We are incredibly grateful to have found Cindy and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring doggy daycare provider. Thank you, Cindy, for taking such wonderful care of Nikko!”
“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.”
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.
“Mary was fantastic and took such good care of Archie! He played HARD with another puppy there and slept like a baby when he got home. He had so much fun! Thank you for watching him!”
“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!”
“Thank you so much, Katie!!! You were our first puppy care experience and I’m so grateful for how wonderful you are. Bluebell had so much fun and was so well cared for.”
“Shanelle was absolutely amazing! This was our first time taking our puppy to a sitter and it was great. She sent multiple photos, videos, and updates. She tired her out and took great care of our girl! Definitely recommend! :)”
“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!”
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.
“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 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!”
“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!”
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 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: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life. Since I was 10 years old, I’ve been the go to person for family and neighbors whenever they need a sitter. This past year I’ve even spent my free time fostering rescues, and hanging out with shelter dogs. I’m super comfortable with all kinds of personalities, and I’d love to help out with your animals so you can relax knowing you’re in good hands! As a teacher my schedule fully opens up over the summer. I am available to do early morning feeds, nighttime walks/dinner and everything in between. I’m happy to stay at your home so your pets can keep their usual routine in a familiar space. I’m extremely comfortable following specific instructions for feeding and medications and will ensure you are appropriately communicated to. I’m a respectful houseguest and will make sure your place your pets get plenty of companionship while you’re away.
“Vanessa has been our dog walker for almost a year. She is professional, communicate & make sure your energetic pup gets the exercise he needs! I very highly recommend Vanessa for any of your pets needs!”
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!
“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.”
“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.”
“It has been wonderful working with JoVonna. Communication is especially great. I’m grateful she has been added to our puppy raising team! It takes a village! 😅”
“Sean is very communicative about his schedule and any changes. He also always gives me a wonderful rover card so I know exactly what happened on the walk! Mila loves Sean!”
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). 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).
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.
“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: 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.

We could tell he thoroughly enjoyed his stay, and we look forward to boarding with Holly in the future!”

“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!”

“Shanelle and Ryan are phenomenal. You will not find more caring, compassionate, and communicative sitters! I do not worry about my dog for one second when she is with them. Five stars!”
