“Alex was the first host I used on Rover. I was a bit worried about using this app, but Alex made my first experience amazing! She is so friendly and truly has a heart for animals. I have already booked with her a few times since and my doggo loves to stay with her. She is very flexible and has even dropped my dog back off to me. I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you Alex for taking such good care of Amani!”
“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.”

Jess was very communicative and overall I would definitely have her watch my dogs again!”
“Emily was amazing with our Goose! Not only was she able to take him on such a short notice, she was excited about having him stay with her. She sent me daily pictures and updates of Goose playing with her pups and having a fantastic time. Emily’s communication was fantastic and helped ease any anxiety I had about not being able to bring Goose with us on a road trip. I cannot say how thankful I am that Emily was able to watch and care for our dog on such a short notice and during the Thanksgiving week. We definitely will be recommending Emily and booking with her for any future needs. Absolutely amazing, I cannot say it enough.”
“Sally was absolutely amazing with Hiccup. Her communication was consistent and proactive, and we received tons of pictures during his stay! He got exercise daily, and plenty of cuddles and playtime.

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

“Karl is AMAZING! He watched our girls over our wedding weekend and it was so nice not to have to worry about them one bit.

Karl went above and beyond to support us and take care of our girlies and we will definitely be using his services again!”
“Great communication and provided regular updates. Oreo seemed very happy & relaxed upon pickup after the stay. Would definitely book with Amber 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!”
“Wrigley has stayed with Michelle and Nicholas twice and both times have went great! They are very easy to work with and have a great home for a pet toy stay in.”

“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!”
“Taylor took wonderful care of our two cats! Our one cat is skittish with new people, but she warmed up to Taylor immediately. I highly recommend her and will book with her next time we need someone to take care of our cats!”
“This was my first time using a pet sitting service and Ioana made me feel at ease with the whole process. She has a sweet demeanor and I trusted her to take great care of my girls. Thank you, I will definitely use Ioana in the future!”
“I am really sad that I can only give Chase five stars. She was wonderful. Polite, prompt and very reliable. She treated my dog, Cooper, like he was her own. I loved receiving updates while I was gone knowing he was getting the attention, care and love he deserves. Chase was quick to ask questions and responds to text and email in a very timely fashion. If you hadn't booked with Chase yet - you need to!”
“Thea was great and left thorough comments and pictures during her drop ins. She was kind and personable when we met at the meet and greet. I would recommend her services!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Danielle was great - I felt confident my cats were in good care. Danielle is really easy going and goes above and beyond. We also had to make last minute changes to our schedule and Danielle helped with that!”
“Angela was very warm and clearly loves cats. I appreciated the help and advice she had for me when it came to getting started with my cat’s fluids. Thank you for your kindness & help, Angela!”
“With having a skittish cat, Kelly goes above and beyond to make my kitty feel comfortable. Luna does not run and hide and actually hangs out- indicating Kelly’s patience and devotion to making pets feel safe and comfortable. I will always try to book Kelly and suggest you all do the same!”
“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!”
“Shiloh was so good with our kitties! We knew they were well taken care of and spoiled even. She has been very communicative and respectful, if I could give 10 stars I would 😊”
“Elizabeth was fantastic! She was punctual, kept us informed, was quick to respond, and our cats absolutely adored her. Before we left, we were still figuring out our cats' preferences for new food, but when we returned, we discovered that Elizabeth had successfully transitioned them to the new diet! She's a great animal caretaker and we would love to book her again in the future!!”
“I highly recommend Kelly. She took great care of my cat, feeding him with clean dishes everyday and scooping his litter box. Because he is a hider and required no play time, she did not mind watering the plants on my small patio. She reported signs he was okay on every visit. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Mary took great care of our golden retriever Beau! She took him on a long walk and spoiled him while we were gone for the day! She sent pictures and updates and we will definitely book with her again in the future! Thank you Mary!”

“Latisha is an incredible sitter and went above and beyond in a way that I can’t even begin to mention in a tiny review on this website. I am forever grateful to have found her to watch my baby boy.”
“Shanelle was so sweet, responsive, and accommodating on such short notice! She sent regular updates on Isla including photos and videos, which helped me feel comfortable. She did such a great job with my fur baby and I know Isla had an amazing time. Will definitely be booking again!”
About: I care for ONE pet family at a time, giving your fur kiddos undivided attention! I work from home and have a secure, fenced in yard. My goal is for your pet to feel safe and loved while you’re 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 between 745am - 830pm for pickups and drop offs. 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 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.
“Fran’s ears go up followed by a cute little head tilt whenever I mention that it’s “time to go see Mrs. Laken” 😀 I can tell she really loves her days there and getting to hangout with Remy and Mouse, other pet friends and of course Bostynn ☺️ because she starts to get so excited as soon as we turn onto the street. I appreciate all of the cuddles and love my girl receives. Thank you from me and Nanny Fran.”
“She took awesome care of my two babies even after they totally act like they had no home training kept in contact and was even accommodating with picking up early and dropping off late I appreciate her so much highly recommended and will definitely use 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!”

“Fantastic experience, very communicative and flexible, sent great pictures of my dog and even a video of her having a great time! Safe neighborhood and clean home, with a fun backyard for the dogs to play in. Cannot recommend them highly enough!”
About: I’ve been a foster parent for Columbus Humane for 5 years. I’ve fostered everything from big dogs rescued from abuse cases to litters of kittens and their moms to pregnant guinea pigs! I also grew up in a house with 5 dogs and 2 cats—so nothing can surprise me. I have experience with breeds of all sizes, puppies, special medical needs, senior/end-of-life care, mixed animal homes (dogs AND cats, for example), and behavioral issues (other-dog aggressive, skittish, etc). I study from home all day and relax by going on walks with a science podcast. Your house, my house, whatever works—I’d love for your pup to join me! I’m currently studying from home full-time! So plenty of time for play, walks, potty breaks, or cuddles. I can do overnight boarding and doggy daycare at my house (I have a fenced backyard). I can offer lots of walks and attention as I study from home. I have a fenced-in backyard for playtime/potty and spare rooms for separation if needed. There is 1 set or stairs, but I can carry those who cannot do stairs if they are under 30lbs. I have experience with medical needs and first-aid. I’m happy to discuss your unique situation and see if we fit!
“Bronzy absolutely loves Barkwatch and so do I. He has been with them since the beginning. The care they provide for us is that of extended family. I really don’t trust him with anyone else. Not only do they provide great service but accommodating and knowledgeable when I comes to my fur baby.”
“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.”
“Dexter had a good time as usual with Sydney and of course she provided plenty of pics and videos during the day. So glad we found a place where Dexter is so comfortable. Definitely will be having her watch him again.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - South Linden
Prices are estimates per walk. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I’ve had 2 dogs in 15 years, I love animals and dogs especially! I enjoy walking and taking care of their needs. Please reach out! I’m on break from college till august 25th, but I am still available during the school year, although my availability would look slightly different. Don’t hesitate to reach out! I will work around the dogs needs depending on their size and the surrounding environment. I can communicate with the owner so that I can effectively care for their dog.
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.
“Chase was wonderful! Very communicative and handled my 3 crazy rescues very well! She provided great updates and pictures each walk and my kids seemed very happy! Will definitely utilize their services again!”
About: Hi! My name is Sabrina and I’m going to be a second year optometry student at The Ohio State University! My first job at 13 was taking care of my next door neighbor’s dog. She loved me so much that she referred me to a few other people within the neighborhood. They relied on me to walk, feed, give medications, among other responsibilities. I never had the opportunity to have my own furry friend, so I loved dedicating my time to helping others with theirs :) I’m a first year optometry student looking for an easy and fun way to make some extra money! I’m currently in my last summer between first and second year so I’m available most of the time! I love pets and love being active, so walking dogs definitely is within my ballpark (no pun intended). If your pet loves to have someone keeping them company I’m the same way!
“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.”
“Elizabeth is amazing. Extremely reliable, prompt communication and easily handles any obstacle. Highly recommended and very trustworthy. I selfishly hope others don't find her so she is always available...”

“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!”
“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!”
“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: Hi there! I'm Rae, a lifelong animal lover with two cats of my own (Cheese and Cabernet Sauvignon) and years of experience growing up around dogs. I've spent years house-sitting and pet-sitting for family and friends, so I'm comfortable with everything from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, or just keeping your pup or kitty company while you're away. I have a very flexible schedule with my PhD program and would love some opportunities to get out and about and away from my desk (and playing with your pets!). I have a pretty flexible schedule and only need to be away from home a couple hours at a time! I have occasional classes at OSU or a few yoga classes I teach during the week, but otherwise I'm free to hang out with my pets (or yours!). Because I spend a lot of time at home, I like to make sure it is a clean and lovely environment to be in. I treat my home like a safe space and with respect and that is how I like to treat others' homes, too!
About: Since I was a teenager, neighbors, friends and colleagues have often asked me to watch dogs while they are away. Then walking dogs helped me get through graduate school and now I want to keep it going even as I work as a counselor! I am licensed professional counselor, but when I don’t have a client, I am completely open for things such as watching or walking your pets! I can easily fit that into my schedule. I am a quick learned and will do anything to make sure your pets get to know me and are comfortable! You share how you prefer things to be done and I’ll follow that to a T.
“In addition to being a reliable and communicative walker, Jessica even stayed with Myles today while he was sick. Made me feel so much better to know he was well taken care of and closely monitored!”
