He was clearly safe, happy, and well-loved, and we will be using Sally for all of our future dogsitting needs!”

“Leslie was great with my dog during our 5 day vacation. My dog was not happy about being separated from his people and his home. He whined, paced and scratched at the doors the first night and Leslie even slept on the couch with him to help put him at ease. She let him acclimate at his own pace and was very patient. He did eventually settle in and start enjoying his time with her family. It was nice to know that he was in a safe and loving space while we were away and for that I am grateful. I would definitely recommend Leslie when it comes to caring for your furry family members.”

I received updates throughout the week and Abigail was very organized in helping make sure my dog has everything he needed to have a good visit. He was also sound asleep when I brought him home within 5 minutes from all the playtime. Definitely recommend and I will use again myself!”
“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.”
“This was our first time ever booking a rover or boarding for our dog Jersi and Emily made it a great experience! She was very communicative, shared lots of pictures of Jersi, and kept us updated on how she was doing. We are so thankful that Jersi was left in such good care with Emily and a bonus that Emily’s own fur baby was there to play with Jersi during her stay. We 100% recommend Emily and will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“We had a wonderful experience booking with Lizmarie. She invited us to do a meet and greet before the official booking to ensure our dogs got along with her children. She updated us with photos whenever we asked. It is obvious she has a lot of experience with dogs and she genuinely cares for them. I would definitely want to book with her again and would recommend her to any of my fellow pawrents!”
“Gabby was INCREDIBLE! We left our two dogs with her while we had a baby and felt so reassured that they were very well taken care of! She sent many updates and pictures, took them for walks, and played with them so much! We will absolutely be using her in the future for all our trips! 5/5 highly recommend!!”
“First time using rover or any boarding service. I started looking on Rover for a last minute sitter had an emergency. Here I got the care fory dog planned out quickly. Hasber is friendly, good with animals, and regular communication for duration of pet stay. The environment was friendly and spacious for Exercise. I got photos of my pet and updates on my pet's day. I felt comfortable leaving my pet, and he was happy when I came to pick him up.”
“Halina and Theodor were the most fabulous host accommdating our super anxious dog Ginger for about a week while we were gone on a vacation. They went above and beyond in making sure Ginger was very comfortable in multiple situations and also took care of his medicines and walks. They also shared us multiple pictures every now and then to make us feel at ease while we were so far away on a vacation. We would definitely recommend Halina and Theodore to anyone who would need their services. Totally deserve the five stars and more.”

I highly recommend Quinn.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I currently own a 7 year old shepherd lab mix and a rescue Yorkie mix (age unknown but at least 5 years old). I grew up with dogs and have experience with many breeds and many mixed breeds. I have experience with oral medications and special needs as well. I live on a small hobby farm and own a horse, 2 mischevious goats, a couple kitties and some chickens along with my 2 rescue dogs. I grew up on a farm and have taken care of many farm animals as well as house pets. I am currently working from home and would love an opportunity to meet and help others with their pets while they are away from home.

I appreciate all of the cuddles and love my girl receives. Thank you from me and Nanny Fran.”

“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!”

About: I’m currently a graduate student at The Ohio State University, and alongside my academic work, caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I’ve owned and cared for a variety of dogs of many different breeds and sizes. Growing up and into adulthood, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, and playtime. I understand how important it is to maintain your dog’s routine and make them feel comfortable while you’re away. As both a responsible graduate student and a lifelong dog owner, I bring reliability, organization, and genuine care to every visit. My goal is too make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for, and to give you peace of mind while you’re away! As a graduate student at The Ohio State University, I’m only in class for a portion of the day Monday through Thursday, which gives me consistent flexibility throughout the week. Outside of class, my schedule is structured but open, allowing me to plan pet care visits, walks, and check-ins reliably. Because my academic commitments are predictable, I’m able to maintain a steady routine and dedicate focused time to each dog I care for. Whether it’s midday walks, morning or evening visits, I have availability throughout the week and can provide dependable, attentive care. When caring for pets in other homes, I prioritize keeping their routine as normal and consistent as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any specific preferences your pet may have. My goal is to make them feel safe and comfortable in their own environment.
