“Maolin was a great caretaker for Nash. We were away on vacation for 10 days and she sent daily photos and videos as well as took Nash to the local dog park to play around. She really seemed to care a great deal for Nash as like she was her own. Would definitely use again and refer her to others!”

“I was very nervous about leaving my cats alone for a long time, and this was my first time trying Rover. I reached out to Leann to watch my two cats with shorter notice, and she was very responsive and friendly. She did a great job of making sure my cats were taken care of when I was out of town for a week! She also sent adorable pics and updates of them after checking in. I'll definitely book with her again and I'd highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a great cat sitter! 🙂”
“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!”
“As always, Elizabeth is absolutely amazing and my cat has been super comfortable with her, which makes leaving home so much easier. She is super communicative and caring with my fur baby - would (and have already) recommend her to other friends, and I will only be asking for Elizabeth's help when I leave town if she is available!”
“Taylor was amazing with my two cats!! I was gone on vacation for a week and never worried once because I knew my boys were in good hands!! Her communication was solid and care was much appreciated. Definitely would recommend Taylor to anyone!!”
“I recently booked Abby for the first time and will absolutely be using her again! I needed a sitter pretty last minute, and she was super responsive and came over that same night to meet my cat. She was very communicative during her visits and took excellent care of my baby! Abby is the best!!”
“Rachel took great care of our cats when we were away! It’s clear that she loves animals and she made sure to give our cats playtime and affection every day. She went above and beyond our expectations - she even vacuumed the area around the litter box so we didn’t come home to a messy apartment. Will absolutely book again!”
“Taylor was awesome with our cat and was very responsive and helpful! She is very friendly and definitely has some experience taking care of animals. We would 100% recommend her and we will be booking with her again in the future!”
“Thea did an incredible job taking care of our two kitties. She went above and beyond of what we expected and we really appreciated the daily photos and videos. It was wonderful being able to relax on vacation knowing our cats were on the best of hands.”
“Sally took great care of our cat, Honey, while we were away. Honey was so happy and relaxed when we got home, and it made our time away so much easier getting the happy pictures of her playing and having fun with Sally!”
“Arabella is amazing! She took up a last minute job to check in on my cat for over five days, administering his oral medication as well as general care tasks. I recieved lots of updates and great pictures of him along the way, and she was very professional and respectful of my home. My cat adores her and your pets will, too!”
“Sadie-Jean took excellent care of my two cats, with daily drop-ins over the holidays while I was out of town for a week. She was completely trustworthy, reliable, communicative, and sent many videos and pictures throughout her visits. She even brought her own toys to play with them! I’ve used rover several times now and this was by far one of the best experiences. I’m sad to be moving out of the area, because Sadie is an absolute gem and solid pet sitters like her are hard to find. Thanks again for all your help Sadie!”
“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!”
“JoVonna was amazing and helpful! It made our trip easy knowing that she was taking good care of our cat! We got daily photos and Margo seemed to be very happy to have a new friend.”
“Elizabeth is wonderful! She went far and beyond when my cat Tigger was sick. She took excellent care of him. Even water my plants while I was on vacation. Highly recommend her for cat or house sitter.”

“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! Auggie had so much fun playing with all the other dogs and we loved the constant updates/pictures she sent us. We highly recommend her :)”

About: I am a dog mom, cat mom and a part time MBA student. My two cats are very well socialized with dogs, and my puppy Suki is absolutely obsessed with other dogs. We live in an apartment in downtown Columbus with plenty of space for a small dog guest. There are small grass patches in my apartment where I can take a dog to potty, they would need to be leashed the entire time. In my spare time, I like to spend time outside walking the scioto mile, and I like to paint. My current daily routine is flexible so I would be able to provide any care necessary. I used to have a senior dog that required a lot of TLC, and now I have a 4 pound puppy with a fast metabolism that also requires TLC for other reasons. suki is partially potty trained, but we do use indoor pads and a live grass patch. It’s OK if your dog is small and pad trained, I have plenty of cleaning supplies to take care of any accidents. I take safety very seriously for all pets. My cat takes a consistent medication every night at 9 PM and we haven’t missed it for the past four years. Also small dogs take a special amount of attention to keep safe.
About: Hi!! I have a deep love for dogs and have grown up with them my whole life of all ages! I got my first dog in high school and was I was 100% responsible for her and raised her from a puppy until she was 4 years old until I had to go to college and couldn’t bring her with me. I miss her so much so I thought this is a great way to fill that void! I have experience with different breeds as well, and I have dog sat for some of my friends and family in the past! I am currently taking summer classes and I have a very free schedule with only being out of the house for 1-2 hours a day. I have a very pet friendly home with a large couch where your pup could hangout on and take a nap! I can easily put the dog in their crate or just let them hangout on the couch if you’d like!
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.
“Cindy was great! Communicated and was very flexible with pick up and drop off. Sent pics and took great care of our dog Penny. We will continue to use Cindy in the future for our girl!”
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.
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.
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.
“Dexter enjoyed his time with Sydney and her beagle. He showed no hesitancy when I dropped him off each morning, so I know he was treated well. I enjoyed Sydney's messages and pictures to me of Dexter.”
“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.”
“Suzanne is excellent. She took care of our puppy like her own. He was always happy to go and when I picked up. Suzanne made sure all care instructions were followed to the dot. I am glad we could find her. Will always contact her when we need to.”

“Erin was incredible! She helped my sister and I out during a family emergency and showed up for us last minute to save the day! Incredible communication very compassionate unable to work with our quirky puppy! I highly recommend her!!!”
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: I've taken care of many kinds of dogs and have always had one in my family home. I've taken care of big and small, old gentle dogs and crazy little puppies. I've had a lab and currently have a pitbull. They've all been very playful so I'm used to and don't minding jumping, barking and licking. I'm working part-time, so I have plenty time to visit, walk or stay with your pets. I'm not picky about the time of dag and can work over the weekends. Since I've had many pets I realise it takes time for some animals to adjust to a new person while others are very loving right away. I'd make sure to take into account your own dogs personality when interacting with them and the rules you keep for them.
“Audrey has been absolutely amazing! A true blessing! She worked with our quirky puppy dog. Truly engaged I cannot tell you how amazing she is to work with with. I recommend her wholeheartedly… book with her right now!”
“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!”
“This is our second time booking with Emma, and we'll happily book with her again in the future. We had good communication, the walks were for the agreed upon amount of time, and we always came home to a happy dog!”
“Thea is great! Very attentive and communicative, and my sweet Muffin loves walking with her. Looking forward to continuing with her going forward. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Friendly, professional, and prompt! Morgan is a trustworthy care giver for your fur baby that looks forward to her time with your pup and goes out of her way to make them feel loved. Would recommend!”
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.
“Our dog Ruby loved her! A well trained professional. Prompt response times. Friendly and kind. I felt as ease knowing Jovonna would take great care of Ruby while my wife and I were at work”
About: I’m a big animal lover and I’ve taken care of dogs for a little bit now. I have 3 dogs of my own who I love dearly. I am currently a university student so time is very valuable. I am free on the weekends and sometimes in between the weekdays as well. I am able to help keep your pet inside of your home, as well as keep them in your backyard. I will follow any specific way you would want me to put the pet away.
“Andrea is truly incredible! The best dog walker, send pictures, and is very timely with her responses! I strongly recommend her to anyone wanting someone to take your energetic puppy out for a walk :)”
About: All of my dog care experience has been stay at home dog sitting and volunteer work at a dog shelter. Because I work at a dog shelter, I know many of the basic techniques and rules of dog care such as grooming, clean up, body language of dogs, and taking care of dogs that may have been abused or experienced trauma in the past. I have a 2 year old french bull dog that I love. Mr. Bean brings excitement, adventure, and love to my everyday life. I am especially good at taking care of senior pets as they are my favorite to support in petsitting capacities. I am a graduate student that spends a lot of time reading, writing, and hanging out at home. Because of this, I am very flexible and can fit pet care in ways someone with a 9-5 could not. I am available in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings during the week and frequently on the weekend. I care for other's pets the way I care for my own - with patience and love. As a graduate student and researcher, I am quick to problem solve and critically think about creative solutions in different scenarios.
About: I have always loved dogs since I was little. I’ve around all different breeds. My sister has a 3 year old pit bull and sometimes I would watch him for a couple of days out of the year. He’s a shy big boy but I have been able to build trust and really take care of him. I love play time with dogs. I am good with control and not allowing dogs to go crazy. I am also great on walks!! I’m currently taking morning classes so I will have plenty of time to drop by and play and hangout with your pups. On Thursday my whole day is completely free!! For drop by’s I stick to the rules given to me from the client. I ensure my full attention is on the dog at all times. If a walk is given, I will ensure the harness and leash is on correctly and held close to me while also keeping the safety of the dog first priority.
“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.”
