About: We know how hard it is to leave your dog with someone else, so we treat every dog like a part of our family. We rescued our Pomeranian Teddy when he was 2 years old, where he received little in the way of socializing or a normal formative experience, and now he's a happy, playful member of our family. I have always had dogs growing up. I love to be around dogs! They make me happy, and I enjoy showering them with endless attention and affection. I'm a worrywart and keep my house 100% dog safe, and keep a watchful eye on any dogs in my care at all times-Teddy is never left completely unattended in the backyard even if he's just going for a quick potty break. Our house has a larged fenced backyard with lots of room to run around and excercise. We are located ONLY 10 MINUTES from Columbus International Airport (but under the flight path at all), making our house an incredibly easy stop if you're coming back from travel! I am currently available to watch your dogs at any time. Weekdays, weekends and holidays can be a fun time for them to stay here and hang out in a quiet neighborhood with a friendly pup. We have a dog safe interior and a fenced backyard in a quiet neighborhood for your fur baby to run around in, with our sweet pomeranian to keep your dog company. We can crate your dog if you needed, or they can sleep with us in our room. Your dog will be given attention constantly and let outside every 2 to 4 hours, or as needed.
“Just like always, Tamisha did a wonderful job with Jackson. We left him longer than usual because we were out of the country and we had nothing to worry about while we were gone! She even bathed him for us before we picked him up!”
“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.”
“5 stars! You can tell Sally is very attentive and loving to the dogs she welcomes into her home. She gave our energetic 1 year old lab puppy a great couple of days :)”
“Megan and Jay are amazing! They’re so thoughtful, warmhearted, and truly wonderful people. They took such great care of Malie, and she felt right at home with them. Their boys were fantastic with her—playing and keeping her entertained. I loved receiving daily photo updates from Megan, and it was clear how happy Malie was during her stay. She came home happy, loved, and well cared for. 😊 I’m already looking forward to her next stay with them! Thank you Megan, Jay and the boys!”
“Marena was a fantastic sitter for my dog Max! She gave me frequent updates and had no issues with the provided instructions for his care. Marena took such great care of Max, I don’t think he wanted to leave when we picked him up :) I will definitely have her watch Max again in the future.”
“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.”
“Joe is amazing! He was very good at checking in, sending pictures and updates with my guy. It seems that Joe’s house is the spot to be for the little fur babies; Zeus came home, greeted the kids and I and went right to sleep from exhaustion. You could tell he had been doing a lot of playing and running around while he was there. He had a lot of fun and I’m sure he’s looking forward to his next visit with Joe and his buddies.”
“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.”
“Samson had a great time with Will and Bibiana! We received pictures when we were away and updates. We are looking forward to work with Will and Bibiana again.”
“My 2 dogs (Australian Shepherds) have stayed twice with Emily, and they absolutely adore her! Even though the younger dog is a rambunctious puppy (5 months now), Emily had no problems with the extra trips outside that she required and also worked with her proactively on her ability to walk calmly on a leash.”
“Ashliegh was wonderful with our puppy. It had been awhile since I had used Rover since our previous dog had passed 4 years ago but we could not have had a better experience. Ashliegh was great with communication and so kind and sweet. 🥰”
“My dog had a fantastic time with Hasber. He sent lots of pictures and updates. He was also very flexible when I asked to extend the stay on short notice. She came home tired, which is not easy for an aussie!”
“Another awesome stay with Sean! I know my pup is safe, loved and well cared for. Gives me complete piece of mind while away. So glad I connected with Sean for my pup's boarding.”
“Travis really was so amazing for Presley’s recent stay. I had flight delay after flight delay and he was so understanding and accommodating!! It meant so much to me because I was having such a hard and stressful day but I felt comforted that Presley was in good hands. Thank you so much!!!?”
“Emily was very attentive to Mishmish's needs! She sent lots of pictures and treated him like part of her furry family. I absolutely would recommend Emily to anyone looking to board their dog in a private home.”
“Wonder with our needy and at times difficult dogs. This was our first big trip leaving our 2 dogs with someone other then close friends and we were very pleased with how they were cared for.”
“Zach and his wife treated our pups like their own! We were regularly updated with videos and pictures, so we never had to wonder how they were. Can’t recommend them enough.”

“Rachel was absolutely amazing! She gave me so much peace of mind while I was out of town, and I knew my cats were in great hands the entire time. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure everything was taken care of. I would highly, highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you so much!”
“JoVonna was amazing, she took care of my two cats for a week and gave one their medication! She sent pictures every day, and I never doubted they were in great hands while I was on vacation. She is very kind and great with animals!! I highly recommend!”
“Sam was absolutely fantastic! She was good with communication, and giving my cat the love he needed while I was gone. I will very much use her services again in the future and highly suggest her if you need help.”
“Faith was great! She pilled and gave other medication to our cat 4 days in a row and did a great job with her. By the end we could tell from our daily pictures that our cat was at ease with Faith. She was prompt and kept the litter box and food attended to as well.”
“Heather is wonderful! She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on how our kitty was doing while we were away. Her response time is quick and professional. Severus can’t wait to see her again next weekend. Thank you Heather!”
“This was my second time having Angela take care of my cats, and will definitely not be my last! She truly goes above and beyond what I’d expect. My cats love her!”
“Sidlali was great at our first meeting, and very patient with the possibly-overly-detailed introduction I gave her to our cats and their litter situation. I look forward to her taking care of our cats next month!”
“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!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I currently own a 7 year old shepherd lab mix and a rescue Yorkie mix (age unknown but at least 5 years old). I grew up with dogs and have experience with many breeds and many mixed breeds. I have experience with oral medications and special needs as well. I live on a small hobby farm and own a horse, 2 mischevious goats, a couple kitties and some chickens along with my 2 rescue dogs. I grew up on a farm and have taken care of many farm animals as well as house pets. I am currently working from home and would love an opportunity to meet and help others with their pets while they are away from home.
“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”
“Christi was so sweet to our cats and kept us updated while we were away. She played with them and sent pictures of them enjoying some extra attention. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Regan was amazing! She was great at communicating and super reliable. She did awesome with our cat Fiona and sent lots of pictures and detailed updates. We will definitely be reaching back out for help in the future. Thanks so much Regan!”
“Estefani was incredible and very responsive. I booked last minute for my cat who I had never left alone overnight, and was worried she would be upset. My cat was rude and didn’t even care that I was gone! I got pictures of her playing and cuddling and texts asking clarifying questions when necessary. Looking forward to rebooking without guilt that my cat is sad without me.”

“It’s so clear the love Sally has for dogs, and we are so happy we booked with her. My usually anxious dog had absolutely zero issues warming up to Sally and the other dog she was watching at the time. He got to play for hours and left her house so happy. Thank you Sally!”
“Shanelle was absolutely amazing! This was our first time taking our puppy to a sitter and it was great. She sent multiple photos, videos, and updates. She tired her out and took great care of our girl! Definitely recommend! :)”
“Sean has helped me raise my dog ( Oso) since he's been a pup! My husband and I work schedule changes and can be unpredictable but Sean has always been very flexible and treats Oso like family!”
“Will and Bibiana were absolutely amazing with Milo. They made me feel so comfortable that he would be taken care of and loved just as if he were home with me. They provided lots of pictures and took Milo on lovely long walks in nature!”
“I am very pleased with Ariel’s care and attention to Jack and will be using her again. She and her family are Wonderful and Thor and True accept Jack like he is one of them, which he is!”
“Mary was great. Very flexible. Set up a pre-stay meet for our 2 puppies. She offered pickup and drop off. And she sent videos of the dogs playing while they were there. Terrific experience!”
“Alyssa was very responsive, sent lots of pictures/updates and Tucker is nice and tired after a full day of playing! Thank you for taking great care of our little guy!”
“Karla is hands-down the best dog sitter I’ve ever experienced. Her love for dogs is immediately clear in everything she does. She has a spacious backyard that gives the dogs plenty of room to run and play, and her home is always clean, well-kept, and welcoming. What I appreciate most is how she allows dogs be themselves while ensuring a safe, well-managed environment. She pays close attention to group dynamics, making sure all the dogs interact well and play safely. I felt completely at ease leaving Bruno in her care, and that peace of mind is priceless. I would book with Karla again and again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Jodi responded right away after I inquired last minute about a daycare stay so we could explore the area while passing through on a road trip. Our doggy was slowly introduced to the other dogs, who were all so friendly, and she immediately ran off to play. She sent me pictures throughout the day of all the fun our dog was having and she was so tired on the way home. If we’re ever in the area again, I’d bring our dog back in a heart beat!”
“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 adopted a hound mix from the shelter who was so afraid of the world and has become the most well-adjusted, friendly boy in the world! I also adopted a stray dog in December who has already grown leaps and bounds! I would love to pet sit/dog walk for you and love taking dogs to their own private sniff spots when they spend numerous days with me :) I am pet-sitting full time, so I have all the time to focus on caring for pets :) I am willing to come to your home anytime of day or pet sit in my home, 7 days a week. I have two friendly dogs at home and can watch your pet at home. Otherwise, I am more than happy to pet sit at your home! Dogs stay on leash unless we are at a fenced sniffspot, as approved by owner :)
“I booked day care for my daughter's dog Gunner for the entire day on 4/4. I met with Kathryn and Teddy a few days before leaving him at her house and felt good about the upcoming visit afterwards. Kathryn sent me multiple photos during the day which I truly appreciated. It was great to be able to leave him somewhere I felt would allow him to be less anxious as Kathryn let me bring his pet bed and pillow which he uses regularly at home. He also has multiple small feedings through the day which she gave him. The fenced in yard she has is huge! I'm grateful to have a place I can take Gunner where I will feel I can take care of any business at hand with no worries about leaving him.”
“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!!”
“Easy and flexible to work with, and my pup had a great stay! Fenced area is not big enough for my greyhound to run but received multiple walks throughout the day instead. Loved all the pics and updates!”

“Kirsten does a great job with my dog. She is consistent, caring and always provides a report regarding distance, poop breaks, etc. My dog is very happy her new sitter and so am I!”
“We love having Chad come walk our dog regularly throughout the week. He’s very communicative, dependable, and takes really great pictures of our dog and our kitty when she pops out to say hi. We highly recommend him for any pet sitting/walking needs, he’s been wonderful to us.”
“Patricia is absolutely wonderful! Always on time. Very patient. Great communicator—even sends photos of our guys with updates about the visits. They just love her! The peace of mind she provides is immeasurable.”
About: Growing up my family has always had pets around the house. From cats, dogs, fish, frogs, and guinea pigs, etc. I absolutely love animals and believe they should be treated with tremendous care! I’m currently working part-time during the week days. I’m typically available after 6pm, and I may be available before work as early as 11:30am. My schedule is flexible and I’ll do my best to accommodate for your pet care needs. My top priority is keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications (if needed), and any special instructions provided by the owner. During walks, I use secure leashes and remain aware of my surroundings to ensure your pet’s safety. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, companionship, fresh water, and regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“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!”
“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!”
“Autumn did a great job caring for my two dogs. One of my dogs is elderly and has several medical problems. Autumn was very capable and comfortable with this. I will definitely trust her again in the future with my fur-babies.”

“Emily is awesome. Very helpful, flexible, friendly & trustworthy. I would recommend my friends and family to her. If you’re trying to decide on someone, I wouldn’t have any negative concerns about her. Very thankful she provides the love and attention our dog deserves. I really value how she listens to my concerns & pays attention to what’s important to me in taking care of my dog.”
“Samantha is great! She took a last minute booking to walk our dog. My husband was out of town and I work long hours, and it was so nice to come home to a content and exercised dog. Her taking care of our dog was great peace of mind knowing she wouldn’t be home alone all day! ☺️”
“It has been wonderful working with JoVonna. Communication is especially great. I’m grateful she has been added to our puppy raising team! It takes a village! 😅”
“Darren was wonderful with Teddy. He took him on a nice, vigorous walk and sent pictures along the way. I’d recommend Darren to anyone. You can tell he’s very genuine in his connection w/ his clients, and Teddy loved him immediately when he walked in the door. Teddy even gave him a kiss on the nose which is reserved for very special people!”
“Fantastic service with dog walking. Communication was clear and timely. She really helped us out with a short notice request. So helpful & we truly appreciate it. We would recommend her for any dog walking services. Thank you. :) Our dog Thanks you too 🐾”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, from guinea pigs to large dogs. I am an animal lover and have experience from young puppies to senior kitties. I am a grad student and have flexibility during my week to check on your animals! I am also flexible by location, since I can work from home I have a lot of hands on experience with animals and follow instructions very well! I have a lot of experience dog and cat sitting and can be attuned to your pet’s individual needs
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 scheduled 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 wide 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.
“This was my first experience with Rover.com and I couldn’t have been happier! The booking process was easy and quick. I received many fast responses to my request for 2 visits with walks and feeding. I am THRILLED that we were able to “book” with Victoria! She exceeded our expectations and posted her communication with us so quickly, relieving all my worries. Thank you Victoria! I look forward to “booking” services with you again. ❤️”
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals but dogs were always part of our family. As an adult I have owned cats, hamsters, guinea pigs and fish. I love all animals including reptiles! I am currently a stay at home mom for four and looking for some fur-babies to love on while my kids are at school. I’m available most days during the day and some weekends too. I have work in child care most my life, so I’m use to meeting the needs of those who you love the most. I’m calm and patient for slow to warm animals and children.
