“Cindy was great. Left lots of photos and even a video of my dog playing in the snow. I was very nervous leaving my dog with a stranger, but felt less and less as the time went on. 5 stars.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Lauren took great care of Zuri! She has a great space for dogs, handled medications/other needs well, was flexible with a last-minute booking, and sent frequent updates and pictures. We will definitely be back in the future!”
“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.”
“Karl was amazing watching our dog for the weekend! She is super anxious and he had the patience to let her warm up. He was even able to walk her, which our other dog watchers aren’t able to! He also provided daily updates so we always knew how she was doing. We will definitely be using him again in the future.”
“What a wonderful experience! Thank you so much from all three of us. It’s such a relief to know that our girl was taken so great care of. It means so much”
“Angela did a wonderful job taking care of Willow. She sent pictures and updates which was much appreciated. Will book with her again! Willow loved their morning jogs together as well.”
“Angela is very kind and my cat honestly didn’t seem to care that I came to get her, she was ready to just live with Angela! I’ll rebook on the next trip for sure.”
“Mary was amazing. My dog Thyon is a sweet but skittish boy. Since making a big move from the country to the city, he has suffered from anxiety which he needed to be medicated for. I tried traditional boarding facilities however they were not a good fit. There were too many loud noises and he always came home stressed and nervous. Mary provided a wonderful environment. Not only was he able to quickly adapt and feel comfortable, but he seemed to thrived there. He was running in the yard with her dog Elle. Which he has not done since we moved months ago. I have finally found a place where I am comfortable to leave my boy and know he’s being well cared for. Thanks Mary!”
“Pepper had a blast at Bethany's house! After a week of cuddling and socializing, Pepper returned to us exhausted and happy. While she was there, i received a daily update with a picture. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Liz was so wonderful! Our pup had a health emergency on the second day and she quickly took him to our vet and got meds for him. She then had to deal with his upset stomach and a sick pup. I'm so thankful she was so amazing! She dealt with it all like a pro and really cared for our dog.”
“Jessica was amazing! She took great care of my dog for multiple nights, and sent daily photo updates, which I really appreciated. My dog looked happy and well cared for the entire time. Highly recommend and would book again!”
“Pam is amazing! Took notes about our dog during an initial meeting, sent us pictures and videos with a daily update while we were gone for a week, and you can tell she and her husband really love dogs. Super nice person and very responsive!”
“Amy and her family are amazing with our boy kitty Jade. He was recently diagnosed with a stress disorder but with her updates we knew he was as happy and relaxed as could be. He’s so loved and well cared for by them that we know he’s in the safest hands he could be while we’re away. ❤️”
“Megan and Jay watched our golden retriever while we were out of town. We received so many pictures and updates. Beau was very well taken care of and had a great time!! We highly recommend Megan and Jay and will definitely book with them again in the future!!”
“So nice to know my pup had a family to love him while I was away. Jasmine was great - super responsive and flexible with drop off/pickup pending flight schedules. Strongly recommend!”
“Erika took care of my two babies while I was traveling. Unfortunately, my previous dog sitter is no longer in the area, so I had to find a new sitter. Both my dogs are rescue dogs, so I always worry when they go to a new place. I had no need to worry. When we did our meet and greet, they did well. During the time they stayed with Erika she sent me pictures and updates regularly. There was a small issue with one who has a sensitive stomach and she immediately reached out to me to confirm how to handle. She was willing to give a probiotic every day, to keep my boy on his schedule. I appreciate all those details very much. It is such a relief to find a good honest person to take care of my pups when I need to be away. I will definitely use Erika again.”

“Anna did a great job with my kitty Maya. Maya is shy and Anna made sure to engage with her and send me some photos. She also followed all instructions and was dependable.and trustworthy. You can leave your kitty with her without worry!”
“We typically have our cat, Bean, stay at a pet hotel when we’re on vacation. But saw that she would always come home stressed after being in an unfamiliar environment and decided to try out a pet sitter. Leann did an excellent job taking care of Bean while we were gone. She made sure Bean got all her needs met and medications taken. We came home to Bean being very happy and chatty. Leann provided great updates and response times and we would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Lyndsey took fantastic care of our cat and home while we were away. She provided frequent updates and pics which we loved. She’s responsible and we’ll definitely be working with her again in the future”
“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.”
“Savannah was wonderful taking care of our two cats for the long weekend! She provided detailed reports for each check in along with photos. Savannah was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. She also cleaned the litter box which was very much appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Savannah to care for your fur babies and will rebook with her in the future!”
“Sara has taken care of my three cats and my house many times and always does great job. She is experienced, responsible, and caring. I highly recommend her!”
“Abby was wonderful in staying in touch and updating me on my pets. I loved seeing the pictures of them from each visit. She was great at communicating and put the well being of the kitties at the forefront of the visit. Overall am very pleased with her service and would use her again in the future.”
“Rachel was so great with my kitten and I know he was happy to see her. She helped me out with a last minute request after I had a cancellation and followed everything I asked for perfectly.”
“Lauren is the best cat sitter ever! I can’t say enough good things about her. We had to find a sitter last minute while being out of the country. Lauren was fast to respond putting our minds at ease. She played with the cats and wrote thoughtful notes in the rover card. She treated my cats with so much love, i’m sure they had a blast! She went above and beyond in every way. So thoughtful and so kind. Thank you again Lauren!”
“Keisha provided excellent care for my sweet cat. The photographs she took were great. I appreciated every one. When I returned home knew he was well cared for because he was just glad to see me. Thanks so much.”
“Jean was absolutely amazing! Stella took to her immediately and I’ve loved receiving her updates complete with photos and videos of her playing and enjoying pets. I will definitely be reaching out to Jean to watch Stella again for my upcoming trips!”
“If you are searching for a sitter for your kitty with medical needs, then look no further! Last month my cat was diagnosed with CKD. I was in desperate need of a Rover sitter to help give subcutaneous fluids to my (squirmy) kitty. I knew I needed someone who provides this care almost every day. I was so lucky to find Victoria’s profile. Victoria was clear in her communication and came prepared with techniques, tricks, and even extra supplies. Her first visit she wowed me by being able to insert the needle in on her own - my job after was to distract with pets and treats. The whole visit took about 10 minutes. Victoria is confident, calm, and kind. Her presence has eased any concerns I have about my cat not getting his proper dosage of fluids. I have absolutely no doubt you’ll feel at ease knowing Victoria is watching your kitty kiddo! I cannot recommend her enough.”
“Shelly is fantastic! She took care of my 4 kitties for the week, and they were very well loved and cared for while I was away. They were not in any distress when I returned, she cleaned up after my crazy kittens’ little messes, and she was very communicative throughout the week. Her pricing is stellar, and I would 10000% recommend her to care for your babies. Will absolutely book her again as needed in the future.”

“Cindy has taken care of our dog a couple of times and did a fabulous job!! She was so attentive to her and took her for multiple walks. Thank you Cindy!!”
“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.”
“Tracie and her family took such good care of Neela! Our dog is very nervous and anxious, especially with new people, and they went out of their way to make her feel as comfortable as possible. They even quickly learned the hand signs we use to communicate since Neela is deaf. Thanks again for the wonderful stay!”
“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.”
“Erika is great! She and her daughter are great dog sitters. My pooch had a blast playing with with their two resident dogs. Looking forward to a return visit when the need arises!”
“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.”
“Alec and Aishu, and their lovely dog Winnie, looked after my girl Nova beautifully. She can be a little skittish at first in unfamiliar situations, but she soon settled down and relaxed! She had an amazing time exploring, going for a long walk and playing with her new pal. I appreciated that photos were sent throughout the day.”
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.
“Highly recommend Sally! Sally took great care of Shaggy! He loved playing and we got so many great pictures of him! Shaggy will definitely be staying with Sally again.”
“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”
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life. I have lots of experience with cats, dogs, and even lizards! I raised my own dog from puppyhood and have personally crate trained her, potty trained her, and taught her 15+ tricks/commands. I have experience caring for cats who require daily fluid administrations, pills, and other supplements I work from home Mondays and Fridays, but I am usually unavailable Tues-Thurs due to a busy work schedule. I usually take breaks during my work from home days to walk/play with the animals. For dogs - Dogs will be walked 3-4x daily or more depending on their individual needs. I do not have extra crates. Amy animals looking to stay in my home will need to be good with both cats and dogs. I keep plenty of treats on me during walks, in addition to a clicker for training and a portable water bowl. For cats - My home is equipped with a pet water fountain, extra bowls, and lots of toys. The litterboxes are cleaned daily and deep cleaned once a month. My cat is fed on a schedule (once in the morning and once in the evening) but I am happy to accomodate any feeding preferences for my clients pets should they choose to stay with me.
“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!”
“Lindsey was great with my dog. She sent pics when requested and Maisey came home worn out. It was nice to get a break and be able to sleep. Will be booking again in the future.”
“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!”
“Very last minute had availability for us and overall great experience! Great and fast communication and updates with pictures. Will definitely book again ❤️”
“We were in from out of town and had to make an emergency last minute booking. Christina was happy to have our girls! She was super warm and welcoming and gave regular updates. When we picked up our pups, she surprised us with a cute painting she did with their paws! 100% would recommend her to anyone in the area.”

“Anna is prompt and reliable! I have an energetic puppy who needs exercise and I feel so relieved knowing she had a fun walk and a chance to go potty while I’m at work. Anna always keeps me updated with pictures and notes from the walk, rain or shine. I know she’s in safe hands!”
About: From my earliest memories, dogs have been a central part of my life, growing up surrounded by their companionship and learning the nuances of their care. Over the years, I've transitioned this lifelong passion into a professional pursuit, dedicating myself to dog sitting in clients' homes. This experience has not only deepened my understanding of canine needs across all ages but also honed my ability to adapt to various care routines, ensuring that each pet receives the personalized attention they deserve. Now, I'm excited to open my home, expanding my services to host dogs in my apartment. Embodying the spirit of a stereotypical millennial dog mom, rest assured that your pet will be cared for excessively, with all the love, attention, and pampering they could ever wish for. Understanding that every dog is unique, I am committed to offering flexible care tailored to your pet's specific requirements and your caregiving preferences.I hope to provide a warm, safe environment where your furry family member will feel right at home. As a graduate student with a fellowship, my days are largely spent working from home, which is ideal for caring for pups! They'll rarely find themselves alone, as my flexible schedule ensures I'm present to tend to their needs and keep them company. My dog Moose and I love being outside, so we often go on long walks or I’ll sit outside and read with him on a leash. If this sounds like something your dog would enjoy, then I would love to incorporate them into our routines. Our apartment is surrounded by lush greenery and sits adjacent to the Olentangy River trail, offering an abundance of exciting sniff spots and ample opportunities for physical activity. For those pups who enjoy a little adventure, I'm more than happy to take them along to the park a few times a week for some added enrichment, provided you're comfortable with car trips. The only caveat in my otherwise flexible schedule is Tuesdays, when I work away from home for the entire day (9am-5pm). However, I always make a point to return home for lunch to ensure a walk and potty break. I have one dog, Moose, who is about 30lbs and 2 years old. It's important to me that our pets get along, so we will need to schedule a meet and greet prior to your pets stay.Moose loves making new friends, but can be scared of large dogs. Living in an apartment, I have the space to comfortably accommodate one guest dog at a time, ensuring personalized care and attention. Moose is crate-trained, which helps manage his separation anxiety, but I'm fully prepared to adjust to whatever your pet needs to feel secure and happy while you're away. Please note, we're on the third floor, so if your dog isn't a fan of stairs and isn't too heavy, I'm more than ready to give them a lift. Additionally, for drop-in visits and pet walking services, Moose would be joining us on our adventures, so it’s essential our dogs get along from the start.
“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...”
About: I have had pets my whole life, including dogs and horses. I currently own two dogs and one horse. I have trained 3 dogs, and I have also spent tons of time around cats even though I have never owned one. I have a passion for animals and making sure they are properly loved and cared for to ensure they get as much happiness in their lives as they give us, and I would love to give your pet that little extra bit of care that you are searching for! I am home from college for the summer, so I have a very free schedule to ensure your pet gets all the care they need! I am available pretty much 24/7. I do everything in my power to ensure pets are happy and comfortable, so whatever that may look like for your pet I am happy to accommodate, whether this means they need walked, played with, fed, crated, attention, medications, etc.. I have tons of experience with different pet needs and am happy to meet accommodations that make your pet happiest!
“Jeff is fantastic. He’s so genuinely kind, reliable, and my dog absolutely loves him (and my dog is picky and scared of many). Highly recommend Jeff!”
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!
“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.”
“Payton is awesome and my two little pups loved her. She did exactly what they needed (their small and sometimes need a shorter walk and just a little playtime instead). Can’t wait to have her walk them again!”
“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.”
About: I am THE BIGGEST animal lover! True story: If I had the money, I would buy enough land to have my own rescue of animals in need of a good home. Dogs (and all pets) are not "like" family, THEY ARE FAMILY and I promise to make yours my number one priority whenever I am around! I have a dog & cat of my own and this is what makes me great at caring for other's furry friends- because I know how important they are to you. For dogs and/or cats: walking, jogging, playing, potty breaks, brushing, feeding, bathing, CUDDLING and more! I work a full time job Monday-Friday but some weeks I am more flexible than others or I might be able to adjust. So, please contact me with questions or if you want to check in on availability.
About: Hi! I’m Cindy, a caring, trustworthy sitter with 15+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and sizes. I offer boarding, drop-in visits, walks, and daycare from my loving, smoke-free, pet-friendly home in Upper Arlington. I don’t have pets of my own, so your furry friend receives my full attention and care during their stay. 💌 Personalized Updates & Photo Reports I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away; that’s why I send daily updates, pictures, and messages to help you feel connected and reassured. Whether it’s a one-time stay or repeat visits, I treat every pet like family. I have open availability and a flexible schedule to provide your pet with attentive and loving care. DROP-IN VISITS & WALKS: I’m a full-time mom to a 2years-old, so for evening requests, I coordinate with my husband to ensure your pet gets the care they need. I kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for new bookings to guarantee availability. My home is pet-friendly, smoke-free, and I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment for your pup. I have plenty of time to provide walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. If requested, I can crate your dog for extra safety or comfort. Your pup will enjoy daily walks, treats, and lots of quality playtime. I’m dedicated to making them feel loved and secure during their stay!
About: I've taken care of family dogs, both large and small, since around age twelve. In high school I also cared for a bird, as well as part of my adulthood. In early adulthood I worked for three years as a professional dog handler and dog walker for a company in New York City. I am accustomed to reading dogs body language and keeping them safe and feeling secure. I've lived with cats in more recent years and have consistently been hired to cat sit for neighbors. I am comfortable with elder pets, administering medications, and helping anxious pets feel more comfortable at home and out in the world. I also have some experience with smaller mammals (rabbits, guinea pigs, domestic rats) as well as some farm animals. I am a full-time grad student, so my schedule is much more flexible than a 9-5 worker. That said, at the moment I can only take care of pets who can be alone for at least four hours at a time during the week because of my class schedule (weekends I'm more flexible). You can depend on me to safely enter and exit your home with care for security and cleanliness, and I'd always touch base with you for any concerns. I'm also disabled by long-COVID and take many COVID mitigations (still masking), so I'd be safer for immunocompromised clients. For drop-in visits and popping into your home for a dog walk, I will be masked. For pet sitting overnight, I'm always happy to take a COVID test—just let me know!
“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 taken care of dogs since I was little and I've always wanted one of my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets. I will be home for the summer, and will be working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to dog sit! I am more available in the afternoons but I can also do mornings. I have nice yard with a good amount of space outside. I would keep dogs on a leash, in the yard because it is not completely fenced in.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life. For the past 5 years, I’ve cared for my own dog with a sensitive stomach, which has made me especially attentive to diet, routines, and overall well-being. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and keeping a close eye on behavior to ensure every dog stays happy, healthy, and stress-free. I keep a very clean home to minimize your pet picking up anything they shouldn’t. I work from home so I’m happy to watch your pup for day care or boarding. I can take your dog outside for walks or just potty breaks if needed. I work with dogs who are comfortable roaming the house. They must be friendly and used to other dogs since I have a 5 year old bernedoodle of my own. My dog loves to play but also nap.
About: Hi! My name is Molly and I am an elementary teacher on summer break! I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your animals. With years of experience, I will make sure your pets feel loved, safe, and happy while you are away or busy. I have 10 years experience of pet-sitting for a variety of animals. Since I am an elementary on teacher on summer break, my schedule is wide open! I am extremely reliable and often available for last minute situations. I will keep your pets safe and happy within the environment they are most comfortable in. I will help to keep your pet on their normal routine.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and can't imagine life without them. Growing up with dogs taught me how to care for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Today, I'm a proud Golden Retriever owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. Over the years, I've regularly helped friends and family care for their dogs, whether that meant walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or simply providing companionship while they were away. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide dependable care. As a nurse, my schedule varies throughout the week. On the days I'm working, I'm generally unavailable for pet care. However, I have approximately four days each week completely free, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and pet sitting on my days off, and I'm especially happy to care for dogs during long weekends when my schedule allows. Because I know my work schedule in advance, I can communicate availability clearly and ensure your pet receives reliable, attentive care. When I'm with your pet, they will have my full attention, and I'll do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and happy while you're away. Pets staying in my home will be treated like part of the family. While I do not have a fenced backyard, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise and enrichment through multiple daily walks, outdoor time on leash, play sessions, and lots of attention throughout the day. My Golden Retriever, Olive, will also be present during stays. She is friendly, social, and loves having canine companions to play with. Of course, I always prioritize safety and will ensure that all introductions are done thoughtfully and that every dog is comfortable. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply relaxing in a home environment, I'll work to maintain their routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and my goal is to provide a safe, loving, and fun home away from home.

“Marie and Fiancé were great with Daisy so much so I believe they could have adopted her! She was happy while I was working! It is worth extra$ to board her instead of having her in hotel room- happy pup!”
“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!”
“Sent us a ton of pictures of our dog while we were on vacation. Allowed us to feel much more comfortable about leaving him with a sitter. We will definitely be using Carissa and Andrew again!”
“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!”
“Holly was amazing being able to accommodate watching Scarlett on very short notice! Thank you for providing her with amazing care while I was out of town! Looking forward to rebooking in the future.”
