“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.”
“Mary did a great job with sending daily updates and following my thorough instructions for my senior dog with cancer. He seemed to get lots of positive stimulation with her and her dogs. Would definitely book again.”
“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!”
“Ellen was an awesome sitter for Dublin! Lots of pics, videos and updates. She watched another dog while Dublin was staying with her and was very good about coordinating a meet and greet beforehand. Definitely recommend Ellen! 😊”
“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!”
“Summer was amazing! She was accommodating and understanding when we issues with dropoff and pickup. Lucky had a wonderful time with her and her family. Will definitely have her again as a sitter”

“Enjoyable stay every time! My pom always come home calm and relaxed. Dawn is super friendly and professional. She goes the extra miles to make my time away worries free. Highly recommend!”
“Olivia was very responsive and professional. We were looking for a late booking for a spontaneous getaway and she was amazing! She took wonderful care of our headstrong Chessie named Guapo.

“Lauren and her family were wonderful with our two dogs. She was very communicative and kept us updated while we were on vacation. We enjoyed all the photos with the updates. I especially appreciate the care she took when their arthritis was acting up. We felt comfortable with the dogs in her care and their additional medical needs (medication).”
“Andrew was so responsive and friendly. Diesel felt at home in their home right away! They welcomed him with open arms like a member of their family. We were so glad to find a sitter like Andrew. Diesel was safe and happy with Andrew’s adorable dogs and kids. We could enjoy our vacation completely knowing our pup was in great hands!”
“This was our second time with Michelle and Nick, they continue to treat Samson like he’s one of their own! We’ll continue to use them and would highly recommend them too”
“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!”
“Cindy was absolutely amazing with our 13 year old dog with heart conditions who requires daily’s meds. She was awesome giving us lots of updates. We felt our dog was in wonderful hands and we would definitely use her again.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our beloved Teddy! He was a rescue and is a little anxious and Katie made him feel at home. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. This is my first rover experience and it was great!”
“Sally had our dog for an overnight stay and was wonderful! From the very moment we felt at ease leaving Theo with her. She was very kind and reassuring had all the things a dog would want or need. Highly recommend letting her care for your fur baby.”

“Leann was amazing as always. This was my third time booking with her and I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. She's dependable and communicative, and knowing she's there to check on our cats made me feel that much more comfortable being away from them. 100% recommend her!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Ioana was excellent. Great communication throughout, and really helped put our minds at ease knowing someone was there to look out for our cats. Would recommend!”
“Sally took fantastic care of my cat Sylvia. She went above and beyond, sent lots of pictures, and got Sylvia to play which I have a hard time doing sometimes. Not only that but she was available fairly last minute and was very accommodating to my schedule. Highly recommend Sally for your pet care.”
“Anna was fantastic! She took great care of our kitties and made sure everything was well while we were away. She was communicative and did her best to make sure the kitties had everything they needed to feel comfortable”
“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 has been cat sitting for me for a few months now and she is SO sweet and thoughtful with my two boys!! She provides detailed recaps of her visits and lots of photos so I can see their happy faces 😸 I love that she gives them lots of play time and takes note of the things they like. Thea was also thoughtful enough to offer to vacuum when she noticed the litter and cat hair getting a bit messy. I am so thankful to have found her and to know that my cats are in good hands when I am away! ☺️”
“Sadie-Jean is so sweet and took excellent care of our cats! She’s so thorough, ensuring she knows where everything is and schedules of all the animals while we were away! I would HIGHLY recommend booking with her :)”
“Kelly did a fantastic job with my two kitties! My cats each have different gastrointestinal issues (IBD and a scarf-and-barfer) which require some pretty specific feeding instructions and Kelly followed them to a T, communicating with me when there were complications (which were not her fault in the slightest). She also cleaned up after the IBD cat when necessary. She took plenty of pictures and my cats were healthy and well upon my return. Thanks so much!”
About: When I was younger, I grew up with a long haired black cat that was my best friend. When he passed, we adopted two other cats as well. When I got a place of my own, the first thing I wanted to do was adopt a kitten of my own, he is now about 10 months old!
“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.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a kid and have years of hands-on experience caring for both. I regularly cat sit for friends, including senior cats who require specialized food and medication, and I’m very comfortable following detailed care routines. I’m patient and encouraging with dogs and focus on calm, consistent care. Whether it’s walks or drop-ins, my goal is to provide dependable, low-stress care so both you and your pets feel comfortable and supported. *Open to all species! Pet care is a consistent and important part of my week. I schedule regular walks, visits, and check-ins at times that work best for each pet’s routine. When caring for cats, I follow their feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, and provide quiet companionship. Dogs get attentive walks or playtime, with plenty of patience and encouragement. I prioritize consistency, so pets feel safe, comfortable, and supported while their owners are away. I treat every home and pet with care and respect. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, and routines, and I make sure to keep the space clean and secure. I provide companionship, walks, and attention as needed, always prioritizing the pet’s comfort and safety.
“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!”
“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 ❤️❤️”
“This was the first time for our Richmond! Lauren is super communicative and just getting pictures of Richmond put us at ease. We could tell he enjoyed himself. So awesome!”
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!
“Deanna was a wonderful sitter for our Sparky’s first night away from us. She was understanding about her separation anxiety and kept us updated. Hope to use her services again!”
“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!!”
“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’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.
“Nicole was great! My dog adored her and her dog and excitedly waited by the door in the morning to go to day care while I worked for a few weeks in Manhattan Beach. She was very flexible with timing and accommodating. If I lived nearby I would book with Nicole frequently.”
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.
“Anudari was super sweet and kind. She was willing to keep Apollo till late which was super helpful for my husband and I! She sent tons of pics and videos of Apollo during his stay and he seemed so happy and tired by the end of it. She also has a super cute puppy who kept Apollo company.”
“I was so pleased with the services provided by Amber while watching my little one. She interacted with her wonderfully and gave her lots and lots of attention. Amber kept me updated with pictures and messages and I feel truly comfortable with leaving my dog with her, and I look forward to the next opportunity.”
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.

“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: 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 neighborhood 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!
“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 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).

“Sean is absolutely wonderful, and I will definitely be using him again to help with my 175lb great dane. I have never used Rover and was nervous about using it given my dog’s size/needs, but that did not matter for Sean. He is punctual and provides great care regardless of the size! A+ rating from me!”
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.
“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: 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!
“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!!!”
“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: 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.
“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!”
About: PLEASE NOTE: I am moving out of state following the week of the 4th. I grew up with 2 medium sized springer spaniels and have had multiple cats my whole life. I love getting outside and being active but also have experience cat/dog/house sitting for multiple week periods. I am currently on the job hunt for a full time role, so my schedule is open and flexible for your needs and expectations. I enjoy being active as well, so that is something I work into my schedule daily. I currently have a 10 month old kitten, I always clean his water bowl each day and ensure his food bowl is always filled (he isn’t incentivized by food quite yet! Haha). He has a robo litter box that I maintain as well.
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
