“Karl was the greatest! our littlest dog didn't want to leave. . . The boys had a WONDERFUL time, and we stopped worrying about them after the first photo. Thank you Karl, for taking such good care of our pups!”
“Megan and family were incredible with my dog Indy! I felt so relieved that she could stay with such an awesome family and be taken care of while we were away. Indy is a senior dog so certainly more needy across the board but she was in great hands. Would rebook with them in a heartbeat!”
“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.”
“Stockton had such a great time with Maolin, and he has major separation issues. She made him feel comfortable instantly and took him on a lot of awesome adventures! Would definitely book again!”
“Lauren was great! Libby felt right at home and settled in really quickly. The huge fenced in back yard was definitely a plus and libby loved hanging out back there. We really appreciated how communicative and responsive Lauren was and we will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“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!”
“Dawn and Spike are wonderful! Dawn's place is super cute and you can tell that she really loves dogs. I'll definitely use her again the next time I'm in Columbus!”
“Dianne and Mackenzie were great dog sitters. They picked him up at my house when the snow was over a foot deep, and dropped him off. They sent pics every day several times a day, and Sammie looked so happy! They brushed him a lot, and insisted that they give him their own treats that I didn’t need to bring my own. They were very communicative and it seemed like sammie got along with their dog and was doing very well over there. Id definitely use them again! So glad I found them last minute before my surgery. Thanks again!”
“Vito can be anxious in new situations, but he liked Sally and her backyard as soon as we met her! Sally is very kind, understanding, and thoughtful. She sent many beautiful pictures of Vito, which we enjoyed. While we were away, it seemed like when I thought, "I wonder how Vito is doing..." I would have a message, pictures, or a video from Sally. We felt great leaving our baby in such great hands, and we will definitely book with Sally again!”
“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.”
“Marena was our dog savior! We had a last minute trip out of town for the 4th of July weekend and our regular boarder couldn't watch our dog. Thankfully, Marena was willing to help us out. She's so positive and caring, we had no worries about our dog who can be anxious around new people. I HIGHLY recommend Marena. She's not only an awesome dog caretaker, she's an awesome person. Thanks so much!”
“Coco had a great time!! Allison is great at sending updates (pictures and videos) enjoying her time, which made it easier for us to be away from Coco for so many days. Thank you Allison!”
“Andrew and his family are absolutely wonderful! It was a delight getting to know them, and my dog Bella had a very happy stay while I was away. Highly recommended!”
“Alexandria did an excellent job with my dog, Pluto! She was very attentive and made me feel very comfortable keeping him! I absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter!”
“Rayann was great watching our dog for a week. This is the first time someone other than family has watched our dog and I was nervous about using a service like this and having to choose someone I didn’t know. Rayann was so warm and helpful from the beginning. She was really helpful and flexible on drop off and pickup times due to my schedule and flight changes. She sent multiple updates with pictures throughout the week letting me know how my dog was doing. My dog seemed very happy and well taken care of. I would recommend Rayann and will book with her in the future.”
About: I have had dogs all my life mainly large dogs. I am extremely responsible and always put fur babies first! I will treat anyone dog like I’ve treated my dogs at home to make sure they feel safe and happy when they stay with me :) I am a full time student but I come home in between classes and only have 1-2 classes depending the day! So I am home pretty frequently at most I would be gone 2-3 hours if that is ok but I can come home more frequently if that’s what you prefer. Minimum time I would be away is 2 just because of classes. I have grass space in my front yard and totally can walk them everyday if that’s what u prefer. I am extremely flexible and just want your dog to be safe and happy!

“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!”
“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!”
“Leann is very friendly, punctual, responsive, and attentive. She responded to our catsitting request very quickly, paid attention to details and our requests, and was able to form a close bond with our cat from the beginning. Leann arrived on time for our cat's breakfast and dinner times everyday, gave him plenty of care and playtime, and always sent us at least three photos per visit. She made us feel very safe and assured knowing that our cat was in such good hands being taken care of by someone very professional.”
“Thea is just the BEST!!! She takes such good care of my babies while I’m away. There’s something to be said about an animal sitter you trust🫶 I would not be able to travel without someone like her. She truly goes above and beyond.”
“Angela is amazing! We had only the best experience with her taking care of our cat. She is incredibly attentive, prompt and communicative. We look forward to have her back!”

“Savannah is a detail-oriented, conscientious sitter, and our Cooper adores her. I fully trust Savannah with my precious li’l orange guy, and I recommend her without hesitation.”

“Great communication and took excellent care of my cat, and made sure to update me with lots of pictures. She helped me relax knowing my baby was being well taken care of.”
“Anna did an amazing job feeding my cats and sending updates and photos! I felt very comfortable and confident leaving them in Anna’s care and will definitely rebook!”
About: I’ve been a neighborhood drop-in cat sitter since I was 12 years old. In the animal hospital, I’m said to have the “cat touch”, and am able to provide quiet, comfortable care to our feline friends with ease.
“Brooke did an absolutely amazing job taking care of my kitty Bella! Her photos taken during each visit reassured me that Bella was doing just fine, and her care was top notch! I will definitely be rebooking next time I go out of town and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an expert cat sitter!”
“Booked Taylor for about a week and everything was just as I left it. The cats were healthy and happy when I got back. Taylor was very communicative and I would book her again”
“Jessica did amazing! She kept me in the loop and took so many pictures. Even my super shy kitty asked for pets. I would most definitely trust Jessica to watch my cats again.”
“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.”
“Butterscotch was in great hands this weekend! She was shy at first, but by the end was coming out right away to greet Siobhan — that says everything about how comfortable and cared for she felt. Siobhan also sent tons of photo updates throughout the stay, which made it so easy to relax and enjoy the trip. Highly recommend!”
“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!”

“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!”
“Denny loved his visit with Sally today! She does a great job sending updates and filling us in. He even recognizes her house and wants to jump out of the car.”
“Very last minute had availability for us and overall great experience! Great and fast communication and updates with pictures. Will definitely book again ❤️”
“Our dog can be nervous around new people, but Laken got down on the floor with her and snuggled to make her comfortable. She had her two small dogs who played well with ours. She has a fenced yard and our dog enjoyed running around. We felt like she received good care and looked very comfortable when we picked her up.”
“Katie was awesome!! Ivy had such a great time she was so excited to go back the next day! She is so caring and loving. With a great yard! We will be seeing her again on our next visit ❤️❤️”
About: Energetic nurse, dedicated pet parent, and lifelong animal lover here to give your furry family members the royal treatment! I have a 1.5-year-old medium size rescue, whom I’ve trained from day one. I fully understand the wild puppy phase, the endless energy, and just how much patience (and love!) it takes to raise a well-behaved dog. Thanks to my super active lifestyle, your pets will always get plenty of fun exercise, zoomies, and playtime to keep their tails wagging. I have 100+ volunteer hours at the Franklin County Dog Shelter under my belt, working with pups of every size, personality, and energy level. Plus, as a nurse, I bring an extra layer of expert care to the table—I’m completely comfortable administering oral meds to cats and dogs, as well as handling injections. Whether your pet needs an adventurous brisk walk, a precise medical routine, or just heaps of love, I’m ready to make their time away from you absolute perfection! I am a nurse so on my days off I have basically the entire day wide open. I am a very active person and love going on walks. I am very flexible on time so whatever is best for your pet I can work the rest of my schedule around that! As a volunteer at the Franklin County Dog Shelter I have received training on how to handle, crate, walk, and feed dogs of all behavioral styles. I have gained over 100+ hours of volunteering at the shelter which has given me the confidence and experience to care for dogs of all type. As a nurse I am all about safety and will care for your pet in a way that makes both you and the pet feel safe and comfortable.
About: From my experience growing up on a farm to caring for two dogs and a cat as a young professional, I've developed quite a bit of pet care knowledge and skills. I've cared for puppies and kittens and adult dogs and cat through good times and hard times. Over the years, I've learned a lot and I'm happy to use that experience to care for your's as well. My wife and I both work from home during the week so we have plenty of time for pet care. When our dog Frank was around, we would often go on walks with him and my daughter and visit local parks. Unfortunately, we don't have time to care for puppies or kittens at this stage in life but adult dogs and cats are welcome. We live in downtown Columbus in a single family home with a large fenced yard. We're surrounded by lots of sidewalks and live within walking distance to several parks. In our home, we have a large soft crate for dogs and small crates for cats, if needed. We expect all pets to be potty/house trained and dogs to sleep in a crate overnight. We don't allow dogs on furniture or in beds, but they're welcome throughout the home. Our cat, Cleo, roams the house but will often stay on the 2nd floor when new pet friends stay over. She has been great with new cats and dogs, often warming up to them after a day or two. We also have a 2.5 year old daughter who is home most of the week. She's great with cats and dogs and we expect any pets that stay with us to be comfortable with children.
“I have been dropping my pup off at Lindsey's every work day for the past 3-4 months and he absolutely loves it there! He gets to play with other dogs all day and is always tired when I pick him up :) Lindsey is very flexible and always tries to accommodate my varying work hours. I have full trust in her with 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.”
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: 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.
“Kelsey is consistent, reliable, and wonderful with Luna. I had a last minute request for daycare and she was extremely responsive and helpful. Luna loves Kelsey and her sweet dog Kitana.”
“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.”
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!

“JoVonna has been caring for my pup for several months now and she ALWAYS exceeds expectations. She is so loved by my dog, and by me! For her caring nature, attentiveness, professionalism, etc. JoVonna is just amazing.”
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. I’ve included my class schedule to be fully transparent about my availability: -Mondays 8am-4pm -Tuesdays 8am-12pm -Thursdays 8am-4pm My Wednesdays will be open until October, and Fri/Sat/Sun are generally open! Outside of class, my schedule is structured but open, allowing me to plan pet care visits, walks, and check-ins reliably. 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.
“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!”
About: I’ve worked with animals of all sizes, from the smallest neonates to the largest of dogs! I am a college student studying biological sciences on a pre-med track. Outside of school, animals are my passion. I worked at a high volume emergency animal hospital for 3 years, and have previously worked in pet boarding & daycare! Each day, I dedicate time to feeding, walking, playing, and checking in on the pets in my care, ensuring they feel safe, stimulated, and loved. My routine is flexible and centered around their needs, whether that means early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. I keep things clean, stick to established routines, and provide regular updates with photos and notes. Whether it's feeding, administering medication, or giving extra belly rubs, I treat every pet like part of my family.
“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: Over a year of experience with pet sitting through PetButler, caring for all types of animals. Walking and drop in visits were done. Dog daycare experience as well. Good communication and strive to provide the best experience for your pet. I am available throughout the week, although I am a student the only conflict I have is Mondays around 4-5. So very open during the week and some weekend availability. At your home I will follow instructions carefully to ensure the safety of your pet. Whether that’s using a leash, harness, or keeping them in a fenced in area.
“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'm an animal lover who's grown up with multiple family members who owned dogs and have had my own German Shepherd for years since puppyhood! Well versed in caring for, walking, and enjoying company of pets. I'm a college student currently working part-time and studying for the LSAT, so I have a fairly flexible schedule that can work well for you! My approach would be to try to provide structure to the animals while following the rules and preferences of the clients. I've found my own dog is the happiest when provided efficient stimulation, so I would want to provide that for any pets I was sitting.
About: Hi! My name is Sabrina and I’m 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 second year optometry student looking for an easy and fun way to make some extra money! My schedule for school keeps me pretty busy, but I do have time to fit in some pet sitting jobs! 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!
“Geren was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using her and she went above and beyond what I would have hoped and expected. She notified me and sent pictures when she came to walk Sydney which I absolutely loved. Also, knowing we were out of town for the evening, she took the extra initiative to snuggle for a little while with Sydney before leaving her for the night. She also took care of Syd when she ate a little bad grass and got sick. Geren is so sweet and caring and I could not be happier that I chose her to watch over Sydney while I was away. 10/10 would recommend Geren for anyone who is in need of having someone care for your little fur babe ❤️ I will definitely be contacting Geren again for future 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: What truly sets me apart from other sitters is my unique blend of lifelong pet ownership, formal training, and the capability to handle pets of all shapes and sizes. I have been surrounded by dogs, cats, and small animals since birth, which has given me an intuitive understanding of animal body language and care. Beyond casual pet ownership, I spent seven years as an active 4-H member, which instilled in me a deep sense of discipline, structure, and professional responsibility when it comes to animal management. At 250 pounds, I possess the physical strength and confidence required to safely handle larger or giant breeds that tend to pull on leashes, an area where many campus sitters struggle. Whether you have a tiny cat requiring gentle, patient drop-in visits, a senior dog needing a calm routine, or a massive breed that needs a firm and confident handler, my extensive 4-H background ensures your pet will be kept safe, structured, and happy. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because my schedule allows me to offer dedicated, high-quality care exactly when pet parents need it most. From Monday through Friday, I have large blocks of free time between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM (except Thursdays), which is the absolute peak window for mid-day dog walks and drop-in visits around the Ohio State University campus and surrounding neighborhoods. For overnight house sitting, I focus entirely on an alternating weekend schedule. Every other weekend, my schedule is completely clear of academic commitments. On these working weekends, my girlfriend visits me from out of town, allowing us to team up and provide constant companionship, regular updates, and double the care for your pet. I actively manage my calendar a month in advance, ensuring that any booking I accept receives my full, structured commitment. Safety, structure, and respect are my top priorities when caring for a pet in a client's home. Because I have seven years of formal training through 4-H and have raised dogs, cats, and small animals my entire life, I know how to establish a calm, trusted bond with a pet while maintaining a secure environment. When house sitting, I strictly adhere to the owner's established routines, feeding schedules, and household rules to minimize any anxiety the pet might feel while their family is away. At 250 pounds, I am highly confident in my physical ability to maintain complete leash control on walks, even with large or giant breeds that tend to pull, ensuring every outdoor trip is safe and controlled. I am also extremely detail-oriented when it comes to home security. I make sure all doors and gates are securely locked, respect the client's privacy and property completely, and never allow unauthorized guests into the home without explicit, upfront permission. Whether I am handling a delicate cat drop-in or a weekend house sitting gig with a massive breed, pet parents can expect transparent communication, regular photo updates, and a safe, clean environment.
About: I have had dogs all my life mainly large dogs. I am extremely responsible and always put fur babies first! I will treat anyone dog like I’ve treated my dogs at home to make sure they feel safe and happy when they stay with me :) I am a full time student but I come home in between classes and only have 1-2 classes depending the day! So I am home pretty frequently at most I would be gone 2-3 hours if that is ok but I can come home more frequently if that’s what you prefer. Minimum time I would be away is 2 just because of classes. I have grass space in my front yard and totally can walk them everyday if that’s what u prefer. I am extremely flexible and just want your dog to be safe and happy!
“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!”
About: I have always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs, and caring for them comes naturally to me. With years of hands-on experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable handling large breeds, small breeds, and everything in between, and I understand how their needs can vary depending on their size and stage of life. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications, and of course plenty of playtime and affection. Pet sitting isn’t just a job to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. Im currently attending online school and I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of time to walk, play with, and take care of your pets! I have a large fenced in yard and big house with a big kennel if needed. I have a very friendly cat and cavalier King Charles spaniel however they can easily be separated from your pet if required!
About: Animals are my entire life, and also my eventual career! Over 10 years ago I started walking my neighbors dogs and fell in love with animal care. Since then, I have gained a ton of experience by working with all sorts of animals in my high school animal labs and farms, working in a small animal vet clinic, volunteering at shelters and ICUs, pet sitting for family friends, knowledge through my animal science courses, and much more. I love all types of animals, and I truly hope to provide the best of service to your family pets! I am currently a college student, but I have a lot of free time throughout the week and the weekends to provide my services. My best availability is from Fri-Sun, however I can still fit quality care throughout most of the week Every time I let your pet go outside, I always make sure to have them on a leash to keep control of them for everyone’s safety. In fenced in areas, I am always outside with them to supervise so they have someone to play with and make sure they are keeping out of trouble. I am very flexible in pet care and will do whatever it takes to cater to their needs
About: I have a Black Lab Mix that’s currently a year old and I have 2 cats. I have grown up with German Shepards, Labs, Doodles, Beagles, and many other small dogs! I have always been a cat owner my entire life as well and am a cat lover to my core! I have helped my boyfriend train our puppy and she is an amazing dog! I would love to help out and pet sit some dogs within my community while making and extra income! Weekends work best due to having a full time job! I am a social worker and work during the week from 8 AM until 4:30 PM so I would be available on weekends if possible. I am very calm, patient, and trust worthy as I am a pet owner. I treat animals as equals, as they have feelings and deserve to be loved! I will be responsible and respectful with another persons animal, as I understand how important our furry friends are to us.

“Karl was the greatest! our littlest dog didn't want to leave. . . The boys had a WONDERFUL time, and we stopped worrying about them after the first photo. Thank you Karl, for taking such good care of our pups!”
“Megan and family were incredible with my dog Indy! I felt so relieved that she could stay with such an awesome family and be taken care of while we were away. Indy is a senior dog so certainly more needy across the board but she was in great hands. Would rebook with them in a heartbeat!”
“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.”
“Stockton had such a great time with Maolin, and he has major separation issues. She made him feel comfortable instantly and took him on a lot of awesome adventures! Would definitely book again!”
“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!”
“John and Shannon sent us several pics, video's and texts of Ruby enjoying walks, their dog Maggie and the backyard. We appreciated their honesty. It did not go problem free but they handled the situations properly. We are glad we tried Rover.”
“Vito can be anxious in new situations, but he liked Sally and her backyard as soon as we met her! Sally is very kind, understanding, and thoughtful. She sent many beautiful pictures of Vito, which we enjoyed. While we were away, it seemed like when I thought, "I wonder how Vito is doing..." I would have a message, pictures, or a video from Sally. We felt great leaving our baby in such great hands, and we will definitely book with Sally again!”
“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.”
“Thank you for taking such amazing care of Olive! The pictures of her were so beautiful and it’s clear she felt right at home with you. She’s already looking forward to her next slumber party!”
“Coco had a great time!! Allison is great at sending updates (pictures and videos) enjoying her time, which made it easier for us to be away from Coco for so many days. Thank you Allison!”
“Rachel was very accommodating and flexible while taking care of my dog during the holidays. She communicated updates, sent pictures, and made it clear that Nova was well cared for!”
“Alexandria did an excellent job with my dog, Pluto! She was very attentive and made me feel very comfortable keeping him! I absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter!”
“Rayann was great watching our dog for a week. This is the first time someone other than family has watched our dog and I was nervous about using a service like this and having to choose someone I didn’t know. Rayann was so warm and helpful from the beginning. She was really helpful and flexible on drop off and pickup times due to my schedule and flight changes. She sent multiple updates with pictures throughout the week letting me know how my dog was doing. My dog seemed very happy and well taken care of. I would recommend Rayann and will book with her in the future.”
“Emily was great! I was so afraid to leave my senior dog, who is going blind, in a new environment. He did great! Emily kept me updated and sent me pictures. My dog was in great hands! Can't say enough great things about the experience. Emily was the best!”
About: I have had dogs all my life mainly large dogs. I am extremely responsible and always put fur babies first! I will treat anyone dog like I’ve treated my dogs at home to make sure they feel safe and happy when they stay with me :) I am a full time student but I come home in between classes and only have 1-2 classes depending the day! So I am home pretty frequently at most I would be gone 2-3 hours if that is ok but I can come home more frequently if that’s what you prefer. Minimum time I would be away is 2 just because of classes. I have grass space in my front yard and totally can walk them everyday if that’s what u prefer. I am extremely flexible and just want your dog to be safe and happy!
