“Ashleigh did a wonderful job! We got pictures constantly and she did her best to keep our dogs routine the same as if she were at home. Absolutely will use her again!!”
“Elizabeth and her family were wonderful. She kept us updated on our Fur baby which was very helpful. It was our first time being away from home, so we were a little anxious about the process. She made it very easy for us and we will definitely use her services again! In fact I'm pretty sure that Fur baby wants a playdate!”
“Cristi took AMAZING care of our four dogs last weekend. We were getting married in Hocking Hills and last minute decided we should find someone to watch our dogs during the weekend. Cristi was extremely friendly and helpful. Not only did she keep all four of the dogs the entire weekend, she was also willing to pick up our dogs after our ceremony so we could have our little ones in our wedding :). It was such a relief to have our dogs so well cared for throughout the weekend and appreciate Cristi's flexibility with our schedules!!!”
“Deanna took great care of our pup and was sure to send lots of updates with cute photos and videos. Our dog had fun playing with hers and running around in her spacious yard!”
“Lauren and family are so great to my beloved Rocco. I was able to be away and did not worry about his care. I knew he was in good hands which was such a peace of mind! I will be rebooking and encourage anyone who wants to be away from their pet with no worries to do so as well!”
“Naaya had a wonderful time with Joe and I'm very happy about having had Naaya with him. He's kind and very responsive and made sure Naaya was well taken care of and kept us posted via regular texts. Would highly recommend Joe.”
“Our pup Aspen spent a return visit with Karen and her pups! We got pictures and updates the entire week, Aspen remembered her from the first visit and then didn’t want to leave! 10/10 recommend!”
“Joy was a great pet sitter while we were out of town. She watched over our two senior dogs, and gave them all the love and attention they needed. Joy was very communicative throughout their stay and understanding as we had delays getting home. We would recommend and use Joy again!”
“Alexandria was great with Roxy! Communicated well and even send pics and videos of our dog when she was with her. Will definitely use her again and highly recommend!”
“Will and Bibiana are fantastic. They agreed to look after Juni on short notice when I had a sudden trip come up. Highly responsive and sent lots of pictures while I was away.”
“Our sweet boy, Franns, loves Sally so much! We cannot say her name unless it means we are headed to the car to take him to see her. It is obvious that Sally cares for Franns the same, as well. When we leave Franns in Sally's care, I have never once had to worry about his well-being, and that is a comfort I will never take for granted. We love Sally, for loving our big boy so well.”
“Tamisha watched our girl for us for a week during our wedding and made all transitions smooth considering all of my planning stressors. I received frequent updates and pics along the way taking way the stress of knowing she was ok! I would def book her if you’re looking for an amazing sitter! We will be returning to her again!!!”
“Did a test night with Zeus as he can be a bit dramatic and needy due to separation anxiety. Abigail and her husband did a great job keeping him calm and he ate more food than he normally would away from home. I got updates from Abigail on how he was doing and excited to use them again for an upcoming trip!”
“Justen is very very sweet with our puppy, Ming. He was always home and present with him, which was very helpful with our puppy who has separation anxiety. He sent us pics and videos of him while we were away.”
“Lauren and her family took Doug in as if he was their own. I recieved updates and plenty of pictures of Doug playing with their puppy Cinder, who is an absolute sweetheart. There is absolutely no doubt that I will be booking with Lauren and her family again.”

“We had a wonderful experience working with Jessica! Jessica took care of our two kittens for about a week while we were on vacation. She was SUPER responsive, quick to reply, and gave us regular updates. It was such a relief knowing our cats were well taken care of while we were away! Our cats were happy and well cared for when we returned. We absolutely would recommend her, and will definitely be booking again in the future!”

“This was our first time with Melanie. We had some technical difficulties with our pet equipment in the beginning, but Melanie worked it out and kept me updated. She was very understanding and was quick to respond to my comments or questions. She did an excellent job with our 6 cats! We will definitely request Melanie the next time we take an extended trip.”
“Took very good care of my five cats, including my senior diabetic cat, who she gave insulin to. My cats responded well to her immediately and were drawn to her and comfortable approaching on our meet and greet. She reached out to me immediately when one cat was hiding during her first visit and I appreciate the realtime communication when an issue arose. We arrived back home after 3 days and my babies were happy and healthy. Will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Travis was excellent. He followed each of my steps for my two cats and was very communicative. I appreciated his thoroughness and his responsiveness! Although my cats hid during his visits, I felt immensely better by having someone check in on them!”
“Scott was so wonderful with my kitty, Chester. He took such good care of him! I received daily pictures and updates. He was also very communicative and worked with me on a little later pick up time. Thank you Scott!!”

“Samantha did a great job checking in on our cat, Louie. On a previous vacation, he came to a cat with a UTI because the person we hired (not through Rover.com) did not clean his box properly. Samantha kept us up to date on how Louie was doing and kept his boxes clean. We came home from vacation to a happy and healthy cat. I will definitely use Samantha again!”
“Madie was awesome! Accommodated a last minute request and provided great communication the entire time I was away. Would definitely use her services again.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Etna
“Shannan is excellent at communist and was willing to work with me on drop off and pickup timing, which I really appreciated. Bonus points for having prior experience working at a doggie daycare. Really helped to facilitate a smooth transition for Serena. Best of all was the fact that Serena had a giant smile on her face when I came to pick her up! Thanks so much Shannan!!!”
“Kyla did an amazing job with Finn! He had a great time and came home worn out every day. Kyla communicates well and I love the updates she sends during the day. It reassuring our puppy is in safe hands and cared for during every stay with Kyla. We will definitely be booking with her again!!”
“Jodi accepted my last minute request and did an amazing job caring for our pup! Benny is pooped after playing all day and her backyard is great for dogs that like to sniff and have space to run. Thanks again!”
“Ashleigh and family took care of our 12 week old Cairn Terrier puppy while we took a day trip to visit family out of town. She seemed instantly at ease with him, her daughters were obviously very good with dogs and we had little doubt our pup would enjoy his "camp" experience. He did and even made friends with their pug. We had been looking for a sitter during the week and gladly would go with Ashleigh if it was easier on the commute. Zero concerns and I highly recommend trying them out.”
“Rommel can be pretty shy around new folks so I am always nervous about introducing him to new people. He also isn’t a very affectionate dog (he only likes being petted when he first wakes up, then he has has enough and doesn’t really want that). When I went to pick him up he was loving all over them. I haven’t seen him warm up to anyone as quickly and as completely as he did here. What a wonderful experience!”
“Jaz has been incredible with our big breed (95lb) puppy! She takes the time to get to know the dog and the dog's character so that she can cater to him accordingly. She has two wonderful sons that love up on my puppy and assist in their care. Her dog LuLu has been a wonderful playmate to our pup during his stay and we enjoy receiving photos throughout the stay. We definitely recommend Jaz's services. We just cannot sing her praises enough. Thank you Jaz and Sons!”
About: Hi, I’m Ariel—a lifelong Ohio resident, entrepreneur, and proud dog mom of 10+ years. I work primarily from home, which allows me to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day for dogs staying in my home or while caring for pets in their own home. Our home is shared with my sweet daughter and two friendly miniature dachshunds, creating a calm, family-oriented environment where many dogs quickly feel comfortable. Whether your pup is staying for doggy daycare, overnight boarding, or you’re looking for someone to care for your pets while staying in your home, I strive to make their experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. I know how difficult it can be to leave a beloved pet behind. That’s why I care for every dog as if they were part of my own family—with patience, affection, playtime, and plenty of updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pup! Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I run my own business from home, so I’m able to build dog walks and visits into my day while still keeping a consistent schedule. It’s something I genuinely enjoy because it gets me outside and allows me to spend time caring for dogs throughout the week. I care for every pet with patience and attention to their individual needs. In my home, dogs have access to a fully fenced yard where they can safely enjoy fresh air and playtime. I also live on a quiet street, which makes walks calm and relaxed. I always follow the routines and preferences owners share with me, whether that’s feeding schedules, exercise needs, or specific instructions for their pet’s comfort. My goal is to make sure each dog feels safe, cared for, and as comfortable as possible while their owner is away.
About: UPDATES! Due to my Husbands career change, I will be the main person that will be caring for your animals. He will help if needed or if any dogs come to our home. My husband and I have a lifelong experience with dogs. We both grew up with dogs. I had a Golden Retriever and he had a Labrador Retriever. We have experience with all different types of pups! We are a team and work together to love and care for every dog we care for. We have dedicated ourselves to learning all about dogs, their social behaviors, and how to keep them happy and healthy. My goal is to one day become a professional dog trainer. I guarantee after a day with me and my pup your dog will be happy and tired. :) UPDATE! Our schedule has temporarily changed due to my husband getting a new job. We will still be available for boarding but drop ins and walking will have to be limited to weekday evenings and anytime during the weekend. This will be the case until summer! Someday I would love to care for dogs as my full time job but it’s going to take some time. 🥰 We have a fully fenced in yard with a privacy fence. We have a very energetic and friendly Golden Retriever to keep your dog company. We have 2 kids who are big animal lovers who will love and play with the dogs all day! I am trustworthy and will accommodate your dogs schedule and needs whether i have your dog for the day, walking them, or just dropping in to check on them.
About: There has never been a time in my life that I can’t remember not having a dog, I have owned many breeds, from a 2lb Pomeranian to a Great Pyrenees, from puppies to seniors I enjoy them all. Hi there! I took a short break from Rover for a few months, but I’m excited to be back and accepting bookings again. I’m now home full-time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I have a fenced backyard and three dogs to help keep your dog company. We have a built in doggie door so your dog will be able to go in and out as they want to, should they choose to use it.
“Extremely reliable & so attentive to the needs of my dog and accommodating our busy life!! I’m endlessly grateful for her and her adorable daughter. They’re our number one go to for dog care in Ohio!!”
About: My fiancée, Katrina, and I are dog lovers and own four dogs ourselves-a Bernese Mountain Dog, a Vizsla, and two Miniature Schnauzers—so we have plenty of experience with dogs big and small. We have been pet-sitting for friends and family for years and work from home so your pup will have round-the-clock company. Our house has a fully fenced backyard with a magnetic screen door so they will have access to the outside whenever they want. Our dogs also love to play with other dogs, and are very friendly and chill. We have experience with senior dogs and dogs with medical needs, so if your pet has medication needs, we can make sure your pup stays on schedule with whatever they need. I think you will quickly find that your dog becomes part of our family and we treat them as our own, and your pup will view their stay with us as a relaxing vacation and want to return again and again. One of us is always working from home, so there will never be a time when your pet is alone. We tend to be homebodies, and will schedule social events around the care of your pet. We have a fully fenced backyard and generally leave the backdoor open during the day so that the dogs can go in/out at their own leisure. We live in a quiet neighborhood so if your dog prefers to be walked, the neighborhood is self-contained, off the main road and fully sidewalked. Your dog will have full run of the house, and is even permitted to be on furniture! We also have a variety of dog beds and crates for whatever style your dog prefers to sleep or relax. And if your dog likes to sleep in bed—well I guess we can oblige :) We also live approximately 5 minutes from a dog park, so your pup can also go on a fun field trip while in our care (or if you prefer for them to stay at our house only, that's fine as well). We are also less than a mile from MedVet, so in case of any emergency, we can ensure your pet's medical needs are taken care of quickly.
About: I have always had a love and passion for caring for small dogs. Over the past three years, I have gained personal experience caring for my own pet, learning the importance of patience, consistency, love, and attention in helping a dog feel safe and happy. Throughout the years, I have also helped care for family and friends’ pets, which has allowed me to build trust with different dogs and understand their unique needs and personalities. One of my favorite parts of caring for dogs is watching them grow into their own little personalities. Every dog is different, and I enjoy learning what makes each one feel loved, comfortable, and excited. I especially love small dogs because of their sweet, playful, and affectionate nature. Whether it’s cuddling, going on walks, playing, or simply spending quality time with them, I truly enjoy making sure dogs feel cared for, loved, and supported. My goal is always to provide a safe, gentle, and fun environment where pets feel like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine because I have been caring for my own small dog for the last three years. Each day, I make time for feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure my dog feels loved, safe, and comfortable. I enjoy building that routine because dogs thrive on consistency, attention, and care. Throughout the week, I also make space for longer walks, extra playtime, grooming needs, and quality bonding time. Since I have helped watch family and friends’ pets over the years, I understand how important it is to keep pets on a routine that feels familiar to them. Pet care fits naturally into my life because I truly enjoy being around dogs, learning their personalities, and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I currently work full time from home 4 days a week and have plenty of time to help others care for their fur babies. I care for pets with patience, attention, and love when they are in my home. My goal is always to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their routine as normal as possible. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and welcoming environment where pets can relax, play, cuddle, and feel like part of the family. I make sure they have fresh water, proper feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. Since I have a passion for small dogs, I really enjoy creating a space where they can feel comfortable and loved. Whether I am cuddling with them, taking them on walks, playing with them, or simply keeping them company, I care for every pet 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.”
“Ginny always has a great time at Sean’s house. He’s very attentive and has plenty of very good dog friends for Ginny to hang out with. Nice big yard for her to run around in when the weather is nice. Well definitely book with Sean again.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine care, patience, and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. I enjoy keeping pets engaged through play, affection, and enrichment activities, including fun activities like dress-up and photos (with the owner’s permission). I’m also comfortable providing gentle care for senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra patience, and more companionship. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs play and structure or an older pet who needs calm attention and comfort, I adjust my care to fit their needs. As a stay-at-home seamstress, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I make time for regular feeding, fresh water, exercise, and play, while also ensuring pets receive attention, grooming, and any needed care. Because I work from home, I can maintain a consistent schedule and respond promptly to their needs throughout the day. I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care based on each pet’s individual needs and the owner’s instructions. This includes feeding and providing fresh water, taking dogs on walks, cleaning up after pets, administering medication if directed, engaging them in play and exercise, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. I also keep living areas clean by cleaning litter boxes, food and water bowls, and any pet-related messes. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s normal routine and will communicate with the owner by providing updates and notifying them of any concerns while they are away.
“This was an outstanding experience and we will gladly trust our dog (Miss Maya) with Jennifer and family in the future. We booked last minute but she was quick to respond and accommodate us. Throughout her stay, we received frequent updates — a lot of pictures and videos. Jennifer watched Miss Maya for us two days in a row while work on the house was being done. In the car ride out on the second day, Miss Maya was anxious (we’d bounced around to different locations for over a week). Once we got to Jennifer’s home, however, she immediately relaxed. She trotted up to the door, tail wagging, and was clearly pleased to be back for another day. Jennifer’s children were so gentle and kind with Miss Maya. I can’t say enough good things about her. Thank you for taking such good care of Miss Maya!”

“We are so thankful for Ashleigh! She is very patient with our dogs. Xena is slower to warm up to people and she just let Xena take her time to get comfortable with her.”
About: I love my dog and 3 cats, but have room in my heart to love many more! Your pets will be healthy and safe in my care. Whether throwing a ball, playing with toys or just snuggling together, your pet will be loved! I work from home with a flexible schedule that can fit most needs. I live on the east side of Columbus and I can easily travel locally. I have a proven track record of being reliable and conscientious. I realize I am a guest in your home and respect your home and property. I will always lock up when I leave and ensure pets are safely inside.
About: I had dogs growing up as a child and have taken care of them on and off throughout my whole life, but some specific examples of pet care include: taking care of my Grandparents 2 dogs when they no longer could, taking care of my best friends dogs (and many cats) when she goes on vacation, & of course taking care of my 2 cats that I am currently a mom of (I have had cats throughout my whole adult life). I understand the importance of allowing animals to get comfortable with you and come to you on their own terms and not trying to force them to let you pet them or play with them. I am comfortable taking the time to slowly encourage an animal to be comfortable in my presence. I am currently working part-time while I finish my degree, so I am available fairly often to help take care of your beloved animals. I am extremely reliable and I am often available for last minute situations and happy to help. I have experience and am comfortable with dog walking, picking up waste, and crating dogs when needed. I am willing to assist with cleaning litter boxes as needed and am willing to take time to play with and give your animals attention and love while you are away from the home.
About: I've taken care of my late dog Freckles for 14 years. Walks and feedings every day. Played with her as a puppy.

I want to make sure your furry friend is happy and comfy during your absence. Dog walks will be daily.

In your home, I will follow whatever rules you leave me, as well as any and all care instructions!
“Jaz is wonderful. She showed for me up last minute for a dog walk, and she always responds to messages promptly. You can tell she really cares about the dogs under her care as if they were her own dogs. I don’t think I could recommend anyone better!”
“Rachel was great with Grace! Provided us with updates on how the walks went, whether or not she was eating while we were gone, and her overall mood. The pics of Grace she included in the card were great, too! Thank a ton!”

“Darren is wonderful!! From the first day he walked in my house, I knew this was going to work out. He has a kind, gentle nature about him and such a soothing tone to his voice. He is so patient with Sugar which is what she needs. Sugar fell in love with him instantly. So much she would anxiously await him at the window until he pulled in the drive. I knew he was someone I could trust her with. I’m glad I took the chance on this service. He is definitely one of a kind!”

Each fur baby is different and after spending my entire life with animals I feel like I am pretty good with reading their wants and needs. I am more than willing to meet in person or talk on the phone before I start taking care of your fur baby. I have no breed restrictions, I have had large breed dogs my entire life and currently have a black Lab and English Golden retriever. My dogs are part of my family and I will make your dogs feel the same. I retired two months ago after 30 years in law enforcement which makes me available any time.

About: Hello! I am a dog and small animal lover! I currently care for my senior dog at home, so I understand the extra love, patience, and attention older pets need, whether it's administering medication, assisting with mobility, or just offering a calm presence. I have experience with both big and small dogs, and I’m comfortable handling different energy levels, temperaments, and routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, snuggles on the couch, or anything in between, I’m here for it! In addition to dogs, I’m also comfortable caring for small animals like guinea pigs and understand their unique care routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you're away. I’m a college student on summer break, so I have plenty of time during the day to give your pet lots of attention and care. My schedule is pretty flexible throughout the week, and I’m happy to work with you to find the best times for walks, play, or sitting! In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely to keep your pet comfortable and safe in their familiar environment. Whether it’s feeding, walks, medication, playtime, or just company, I make sure your pet feels cared for and not alone while you're away. I’m also respectful of your space, keeping things tidy and secure. For pets with special needs, like senior dogs or small animals/fish, I take extra time to make sure they’re safe and happy. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Kyla has been wonderful to work with! Our energetic pup has lots of rules after training and Kyla was very open to learning our expectations for him. She already has been perpetuating his training. She has our dog walking right next to her like he does with us. Highly recommend!”

“Elizabeth and her family were wonderful. She kept us updated on our Fur baby which was very helpful. It was our first time being away from home, so we were a little anxious about the process. She made it very easy for us and we will definitely use her services again! In fact I'm pretty sure that Fur baby wants a playdate!”
“Lauren and family are so great to my beloved Rocco. I was able to be away and did not worry about his care. I knew he was in good hands which was such a peace of mind! I will be rebooking and encourage anyone who wants to be away from their pet with no worries to do so as well!”
“Naaya had a wonderful time with Joe and I'm very happy about having had Naaya with him. He's kind and very responsive and made sure Naaya was well taken care of and kept us posted via regular texts. Would highly recommend Joe.”
“Our pup Aspen spent a return visit with Karen and her pups! We got pictures and updates the entire week, Aspen remembered her from the first visit and then didn’t want to leave! 10/10 recommend!”
“Joy was a great pet sitter while we were out of town. She watched over our two senior dogs, and gave them all the love and attention they needed. Joy was very communicative throughout their stay and understanding as we had delays getting home. We would recommend and use Joy again!”
“Alexandria was great with Roxy! Communicated well and even send pics and videos of our dog when she was with her. Will definitely use her again and highly recommend!”
“Will and Bibiana are fantastic. They agreed to look after Juni on short notice when I had a sudden trip come up. Highly responsive and sent lots of pictures while I was away.”
“Our sweet boy, Franns, loves Sally so much! We cannot say her name unless it means we are headed to the car to take him to see her. It is obvious that Sally cares for Franns the same, as well. When we leave Franns in Sally's care, I have never once had to worry about his well-being, and that is a comfort I will never take for granted. We love Sally, for loving our big boy so well.”
“Tamisha watched our girl for us for a week during our wedding and made all transitions smooth considering all of my planning stressors. I received frequent updates and pics along the way taking way the stress of knowing she was ok! I would def book her if you’re looking for an amazing sitter! We will be returning to her again!!!”
“Did a test night with Zeus as he can be a bit dramatic and needy due to separation anxiety. Abigail and her husband did a great job keeping him calm and he ate more food than he normally would away from home. I got updates from Abigail on how he was doing and excited to use them again for an upcoming trip!”
“Justen is very very sweet with our puppy, Ming. He was always home and present with him, which was very helpful with our puppy who has separation anxiety. He sent us pics and videos of him while we were away.”
“Kyla was great with Sophie. Sophie is 12 now and needs special care and medications. Kyla was very kind and sweet with her. When we were getting ready to leave, Sophie ran up and gave Kyla some kisses. We will definitely book her again.”
“Mary was an excellent host. Her two dogs Ellie and Fufu were so welcoming and Laika meshed in with ease. Cannot recommend more highly and I looked forward to booking again and again.”
“Can’t say enough good things about the service level. I rebooked with Angie the day I picked my dog up. If you select her and by extension her family you will not be disappointed.”
“Bill & Mary were super accommodating with our schedule & arrangements from meet & greet to drop-off & pickup. We haven't left our 2 fur babies with a sitter for a couple yrs now & were nervous to leave them for 8 days in a new home. After meeting with Bill & Mary, we knew our dogs would be in the best of hands! It made for a nice family vacation to know they were well taken care of. They shared pictures/updates during the stay & upon return you could just tell our pups had nothing short of a great time. Highly recommend & will use Bill & Mary for upcoming stays!”
“Ellen was phenomenal with both of our dogs. We got continuous updates and pictures. Very accommodating to our schedule. Our dogs loved her fenced in yard and Ellen. I would highly recommend and will be using her in the further. Can’t thank you enough!”
“Our pup loved staying with Emily! They were very flexible with our pick up time since we were coming back from a volleyball tourney and weren't exactly sure what time we would arrive. I would highly recommend.”
