“Keylor and Grace were very accommodating when I was running late and when I picked Molly up earlier than expected. They were gracious and kind and took very good care of our Frenchie. She had such a good time with the bigger dogs; she was sad at home without them.”

“We are so blessed to have Tina and Mike to take care of our Remy for us when we need. He loves it there. We know that he is always in great hands and is treated like one of their own. We get consistent updates and pictures during his stays. Thank you as always!!”

“This was our first time leaving our dog for an extended period of time. Our dog was treated like family as was evidenced by the photos each day. Definitely recommend!”

“Laurie is a fantastic sitter, very professional and provided loving, thorough care for our elder pup. Very accommodating even though we booked last minute due to a change of plan by our other sitter. She sent great updates and pictures the whole time.”

“Pam has a very nice home and big back yard. She has children and other dogs that are great with visitors. She took excellent care of Drake while we were away. We will definitely use her again.”

“Samantha is simply the best! We are able to leave our pup with her without a worry at all, knowing that he is going to receive the best care. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“We were very nervous to leave our high energy guy with anyone but Katelyn & Nicholas were the perfect fit! The large yard and other companions kept Bo very busy and happy. They sent us daily updates with pictures and were promt to answer when we texted to check in. Katelyn & Nicholas took the best care of our boy!”

“I’m always hesitant about leaving my old boy with anybody. He’s a quirky old man set in his ways. All my worries were put to rest because Jill took all my concerns seriously and addressed all of them. They even took him to a block party which I’m sure he loved because he’s a nosy old boy too.I will be very comfortable leaving my mutt with her again.”

“She was so amazing and kind to our dog! We received updates about him daily and she was a really sweet person to speak to. Thank you so much for taking care of our energetic pup. Would recommend to everyone!”

“Hannah was so kind to accept a last minute reservation for our pup. She provided great updates and sent us photos to let us know he was doing great. We would highly recommend Hannah & Daniel!”

“Erika was amazing, very caring with my Malula, was accommodating and always gives you great daily reports with pictures and activities, my dog was super happy and so I was, as I have never left her with someone I didn't know before, and must say it was a great experience, I highly recommend her, it's a super fabulous pet sitter and host, she make space for my dog only in her house, and give her many walks and play time! Even have her a little toy. Honestly thank you Erika!! You were amazing and my dog was so happy!! I will def choose her again w my baby!!”

“Rumi took great care of my Bernese mountain dog Flynn! He was in literal paradise, she sent updates with photos, she was very easy to get ahold of and communicate with, and made his entire stay so wonderful! We will for sure be using her services again!!”

“What a great dog sitter. From meet and greet to extending a few hours upon our return to pick up. The communication, pictures, updates, and the love and care for our Chewy was a blessing to us. Thank you for making us feel comfortable leaving our senior dog with you. Extra special care was needed and Mckayla was willing to do it all.”

“Amy did a great job! She communicated clearly, kept us in the loop, and took great care of our cats. She also brought in the very heavy Chewy boxes that were supposed to arrive after we got back, which was very nice! We will definitely book Amy again given the chance!”


“Ashley did a wonderful job taking care of my two kitties. She went above and beyond and was really great at handling my anxious cat who doesn’t do well with meeting new people! By the 2nd visit she was already able to charm him and get him to open up and play! I felt completely at ease knowing that she was there and could handle anything that could come up. I will absolutely want to have Ashley continue to watch my two babies!”

About: We’ve always been big dog people. Growing up around dogs taught us just how much love, attention, and care they truly need and we genuinely believe pups shouldn’t be left alone for long stretches. That’s why we’re passionate about helping others give their dogs the fun, companionship, and consistent care they deserve when life gets busy. We both adore dogs (they honestly make us so happy and bring us a ton of joy), and we’d be excited to play, cuddle, and keep your pup feeling safe and loved. Over the years, friends and family have trusted us again and again to care for their dogs, whether they’re out of town or just need a helping hand. We also enjoy training, and we’re always patiently working on new tricks and good habits with our golden retriever, Daisy! We have amazing work flexibility. We can work around people's schedules. It would just be a matter of coordinating between me and the owner of the pup. In our home, your dog will have a safe, closed fenced backyard to run and play, plenty of toys, and the company of our friendly golden retriever, Daisy. We keep preventive dog meds on hand for things like allergies, and your pup will always have access to fresh water, food, and a variety of treats.

“Sophia was great with my cat Penny! She checked in on time every day and gave her lots of attention and love. I could tell Penny was comfortable with her and enjoyed her visits. I highly recommend booking with Sophia!”

About: I have taken care of many different breeds of dogs since I was young. My family relied on me to play, feed and bathe them. I’m currently working part time. I have plenty of time to play and give your pets love and attention! I can’t wait to meet them. I promise to follow all of the rules that are set for me so I can ensure the best care and safety for your pets.

“I had a week long vacation that took me out of state, and I needed someone to care for my two cats for that to happen. I showed Jose my routine before I left, and she graciously stepped in while I was away. She kept me in the loop the entire time with daily pictures and took great care of them. She cleaned up after then too. You wont find a better and more trustworthy sitter. Thanks for the help Josie!”

“I always ask for Caitlin! She is the most dependable and kind pet sitter I could imagine. She’s very good at loving on the animals and giving them everything they need to stay happy and healthy. You can’t go wrong with her.”
About: I have always lived with dogs and absolutely love caring for furry friends! I've dog sat many different dogs and am very quick to make them the highlight of my attention when I'm with them! I am a very active person--love to take dogs for walks, hikes, and trips to dog parks if that's what they love. My space is super dog friendly, clean, and open for a great stay. I love to get to know dogs and their personalities. I've cared for all sized dogs and of many different breeds and have never met a dog that I didn't like. My dogs are super dog friendly. Millie can be shy at first and Zoe is great at adjusting her activity to what other dogs want! I am currently working part time and in an online masters program, so I have a lot of time to devote to pups and can provide a lot of interaction with them. I pay a lot of attention to dogs, especially when they are in a new place. I fostered for about 3 years before adopting our current dogs. I’ve had a lot of experience caring for dogs in different scenarios.
About: I been around animals of all kinds my entire life. I've previously worked in a vet clinic and am currently working in the equine industry. I've handled all shapes and sizes of animals and am comfortable in most tasks. Boarding, walking, minor grooming needs like bathing and trims, I'm up for the task! I'm currently working a full time job but am looking to fill my evenings and days off during the week. I have an unorthodox "weekend" on Tuesdays and Wednesdays that I would love to fill! I have two friendly dogs of my own in a quiet neighborhood outside of town. A decent sized yard with plenty of space to run and an ample amount of good walking spots!
About: I've taken care of various pets since I was 10, and I'm currently 28. I've done a great deal of pet sitting and house sitting over the years. Most of my experience is with dogs, cats, rabbits, and snakes but I am ready and willing to learn more about and care for other animals as well. I love (and have handled) rats and ferrets and some lizards although I have never owned any of those myself. I have been around pet birds but have not cared for any yet. I currently work full time so please consult me to see whether or not our schedules mesh! The times vary and I am flexible. I am passionate about animals and would love to fit you into my free time if I can. I cannot offer pet boarding at my own home at this time due to the disposition of my family pets. I will treat your pet and/or home with the utmost care and respect.
About: I’ve had countless dogs & cats my whole life and have done plenty of walking and sitting for other people’s pets so I have plenty of experience! Pet care is something that I can fit into my schedule especially a few days a week! I would prefer to know in advance, the more advance the better! I can take the dogs on a week, feed them, play outside with them and give them some love and attention whenever I see them

“We recently had Tina watch our toy aussiedoodle Roo. I can happily say that Roo did well on her first day of daycare. Tina has a wonderful fenced in yard, a beautiful open concept home with lots of dog toys for their enjoyment. Tina is a very knowledgeable sitter and I will definitely use her again for future daycare visits and boarding.”

About: I'm a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule and a love for small dogs! I've had Chihuahuas since I was 12. I currently have one who is well socialized and gets along great with other animals. A day in our home is filled with cuddles, exercise, and playtime. I make sure to provide lots of photos and videos of your pet during their time here because I know pets are part of the family and how hard it can be to be away from them. The dogs in my care will have full access to my home. We will provide multiple daily walks and follow whatever schedule you provide to keep them feeling comfortable and at home here.
About: I've taken care of several dogs throughout my life cleaning family pet dogs we've had neighbors dogs dogs in the neighborhood. Throughout my childhood we have had biggest dogs medium dogs small dogs. I can discuss scheduling with individual fur baby parents! Hopefully my availability fits the needs of your fur babies and your schedules. I look forward to talking to you and working with your fur babies! I have a huge side yard. And a fenced in backyard. I can also go to your home to watch for babies if that's necessary.
“Samantha was amazing! She took our pup in for doggy daycare last minute, was so kind and caring, and took fantastic care of our pup! She sent me updates throughout the day with pictures and was so flexible and accommodating to meet our pup’s needs and provide him with the best experience. He loved running and playing with her dogs and came home so happy! Would 100% recommend her and will definitely be using her daycare services again!”

“Cassie was amazing!! This was Tilly's first pet sitter experience and Cassie made everything great!! Highly recommend Cassie!! She will be my go to if I ever need a pet sitter again!! 10 STARS!!!!”

About: Growing up I have always cared for our family pets. Today I have 3 rescue dogs of my own. My pups are apart of my family. I volunteer to transport dogs to a safe homes. Animals of any type depend on their humans to care for them. When their humans can’t be there for some reason they still need that special care and attention. I have always struggled when leaving my dogs to go away. What do I do with them? Who will care for them like I do? I would like to help people to be at ease knowing your pet will be well taken care of in my hands because I understand what it is like to have that worry. I will care for your pet as though they are mine.
About: I have had three dogs, myself and personally trained two of them! Our young growing family will give your pup plenty of attention and love! Your pup must be good with kids and animals as we have two young boys who absolutely love animals and a miniature Australian Shepherd, who will play well with any dog! There are also two barn cats on the property who keep to themselves for the most part. I will send update pictures daily, so you can be assured that your pup is doing great. We can’t wait to host your furry friend! I am a stay at home mom so I can be extremely flexible with schedule and be available for your pet most of the time and attend to the needs of your specific pet. I will be sure to feed your pet as often as they are used to at home and with the food you provide. I spend lots of time outside with the kids so you can also be assured that your pet will be given plenty of outside time! I am happy to leave pets inside if they prefer that as well. With our Australian Shepherd exercise will also not be a concern as he is very playful but he also will leave animals alone if they don’t want to play!
About: I grew up with a black lab, Macey and a Chihuahua mix, Tootsie and took care of them from when I was young until around the age of 16 when they passed away. I also regularly dog sat 5 dogs at once- all with specific needs, diets and medications before the family moved away. I am comfortable with high energy dogs, I will happily administer medication, and we have 2 acres of fenced in land for your dog to run and play! I am a flight attendant so my schedule varies- usually I work 3-4 days a month and they are never the same. Request and I’ll accept if I’m not flying that day, but other than occasional work I’m pretty much always home! I would love to have a dog but because I’m a flight attendant I know I couldn’t give it the consistency and love it would need- however, on days I am home I would LOVE to have a furry friend to play with. We would be happy to host your dog(s) and let them run around our fenced in back yard, explore the barn, and roam the house. We only accept dogs that are good with children and that are potty trained. We have a large kennel if your dog is crate trained and you would like us to use it, but as long as it’s good with kids it’s free to explore. We can administer medication, give treats, and share lots of love and we hope you’ll trust us with your beloved pups ❤️ P.S. my favorite breeds are corgis, labs and golden doodles :) but I’m not picky, all dogs will receive equal love 😉
“Rumi was so nice and responsive to all our messages. She was able to watch our dog on short notice. She sent updates during the stay where Evie seemed to be enjoying herself. Thanks so much!”

About: I have experience with both puppies and seniors. Includes potty training obedience training, dominance training. I’ve worked at a humane society and owned rescue dogs. My approach is to find each individual dog’s motivation to help them grow, learn, and mature. I currently have 2 dogs of my own and enjoy walking and taking them on adventures. I do community work within my school district and would love the added opportunities to fit my love for dogs in my routine more. With dogs non-verbal queues are very important in understanding behavior, needs, and temperament. I pay attention give them good food exercise is a must! When dealing with new dogs, speaking with the owner and what they want is top priority. Setting goals for our poochie pals allows a measurement for tracking success.
About: Minor from Ohio state in animal science. Worked on farms with all kinds of animals. Treat my dogs like family nothing less. Expert in animal care and behavior. I work from home meaning I am with your pet 24/7. Able to step away for potty breaks/walks. I am available all days a week. Apartment offers pet park/ walking/ feeding/ 24 hour care no crate needed. Treat pets like family and have camera for pets as well. Gentle and loving home.
About: As a dog mom for many years, I know that having a dog sitter you trust is super important. Being away from home can be nerve-wracking for the furrbaby and their parent. I have 7 wonderful years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes (some with past trauma and anxiety). You can trust that your dog will get the love, care, and attention they need! I typically wake up at around 7:30 am take your pupper out to use the fire hydrant, then provide fresh food and water during breakfast time. After working from 9am-3pm I will walk them around Downtown Mount Vernon. After water and treats, I'll usually play fetch, tug-o-war, or run around with them if they're in the mood for playtime. After more relaxation, while I run errands (house chores, etc.), I take your dog out to relieve themselves before the evening routine (playing, working from home, preparing dinner). I take them outside one more time before bed, and that completes a full day in the Rowe House. I care for your pet according to your preferences. Here at the Rowe House, we typically allow pets to nap on the couch and hang out with us while we work at home. I do have a Corgi (Monty) who loves other dogs and have a pretty careful routine with him, so I highly respect any owner that has very strict or more laid-back preferences for their pups. When bathing or clipping your dog's nails, I use positive reinforcement and desensitization techniques. These include distracting them with treats, encouraging/praising them with treats, and peanut butter. I do require the dog to have all vaccines up to date for bathing and nail clipping. Whether or not I can provide these services will also depend on your dog's comfort and anxiety level.

“Today marks one full year of using Caitlin for our dog sitting needs. Luna always has a wonderful time there playing with the other dogs. She is always well taken care of, and I have peace of mind anytime I leave her with a Caitlin.”

About: I have experienced every step of Animal Care; from my first childhood dog birthing a litter of pups, to end-of-life care more recently with my family dog. Let me know what makes your critter happy, and know that your pooch is in loving, warm hands. I have cared for dogs 3/4s of my 35 years on this planet and even moved a dog back acquired internationally off of the streets of Beirut, Lebanon with a previous girlfriend and trained obedience into the street dog, and to be accustomed to a more sedentary American-Style home living. I am currently shifting from a sales career in finance to a tech career, and am spending some quality time with my parents in Appley Valley for a few months outside of Mt. Vernon before I rewire my focus back to an intensive career-oriented work environment. I am holding off on a full-time job and would love to take care of your pet and give them all of my attention and focus whenever you need me, even if it's an emergency. I have no other work engagements currently as I'm taking two months to catch up with my folks while I transition to a new firm. I have a finished basement apartment underneath a 2600 sq ft. ranch, where your animal children are welcome to relax on my furniture and enjoy an acre of wooded land and a 10-minute drive to Bark Park outside of Appley Valley Lake Community. I can travel and my car is dog-friendly if your creature likes to socialize or play at any of the local parks or dog parks. If your pooch needs a Paw-Wash or "the Works" I have a walk-in shower where we can have your puppy smelling "so fresh and so clean" upon returning the critter to your domicile.

About: I have over 6 years of experience taking care of locals, neighbors, friends and families pets (dogs, cats, livestock). I currently have 2 golden retrievers that I have trained. I currently work a full time job that I am available before and after work, in the weekday evenings after 4:30pm and all day on the weekend (Saturday and Sundays) I am willing to go on long walks with your dogs.

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 had pets since I was 10. I have taken care of both cats and dogs. Friendly, conscientious, and thorough. Can't wait to walk new dogs/friends. I'm currently off of work for the summer as I teach full time during the school year. I am working on taking time for myself, exercising, and walking dogs. I take care of my pets by either crating them or leaving them in a bedroom when I am out and about. I have a crate for them to use.
“Kelsey was phenomenal with my dogs. I left for a month long vacation and she worked with another Rover-walker to help take great care of my dogs while I was gone. One of my three dogs has a disability and can be hard to take care of (which makes it hard for me to trust who is taking care of him), but every photo and rover card that was submitted made my fiance and I smile and feel such relief knowing we left our dogs in good hands. I would definitely book her again in the future!”

About: I have had dogs through my life. I have been accustomed to small and large dogs, ranging from age as well. I have taken care of my friends' dogs at times, so I can do well with daily tasks. I am currently on winter break for college. I am available whenever during the day. I am willing to come whenever you need, even on short notice. Whatever I am told to do, I will follow the rules. I will not mess with the house and leave it as I found it.

About: I am a college student looking for some part time work! I am eager and display a love for all animals. I have always had dogs growing up, but I have a love for all animals. I have a small lap dog as well as a Saint Bernard, so dogs of all shapes and sizes are welcome! I would love to help take care of your furry friends in whatever way possible. I am flexible and trustworthy. I am great at following directions and can do whatever is necessary to make your animals comfortable while you are away. I love to hike and be outside, so entertaining your furry friends would not be a problem. Feel free to message me with any questions or concerns. I typically only have 2 classes a day about an hour each so I am pretty flexible during the day to provide care, drop in, or whatever is needed. My weekends are free as well now that I am no longer in volleyball season! I live in the country and have plenty of room to walk dogs and allow them to get their exercise. Furthermore, I am willing to walk dogs in owners neighborhood. I am completely flexible and can provide whatever the owner prefers!
About: I've taken care of various pets since I was 10, and I'm currently 28. I've done a great deal of pet sitting and house sitting over the years. Most of my experience is with dogs, cats, rabbits, and snakes but I am ready and willing to learn more about and care for other animals as well. I love (and have handled) rats and ferrets and some lizards although I have never owned any of those myself. I have been around pet birds but have not cared for any yet. I currently work full time so please consult me to see whether or not our schedules mesh! The times vary and I am flexible. I am passionate about animals and would love to fit you into my free time if I can. I cannot offer pet boarding at my own home at this time due to the disposition of my family pets. I will treat your pet and/or home with the utmost care and respect.

“Keylor and Grace were very accommodating when I was running late and when I picked Molly up earlier than expected. They were gracious and kind and took very good care of our Frenchie. She had such a good time with the bigger dogs; she was sad at home without them.”

“This was our first time leaving our dog for an extended period of time. Our dog was treated like family as was evidenced by the photos each day. Definitely recommend!”

“Pam has a very nice home and big back yard. She has children and other dogs that are great with visitors. She took excellent care of Drake while we were away. We will definitely use her again.”


About: I’m a stay at home mom with a very flexible schedule and a great space for your fur baby to play! I’ve owned a lot of different dogs breeds my entire life ranging in size from a chihuahua to a golden retriever. I love routine and will follow your dog care needs exactly how they’re used to. They will receive a ton of love, cuddles and play time from me and my three animal loving kids. We have 5 acres of yard space to play and maintained walking trails in the back of our property for daily walks. I will only accept dogs that are potty trained and good with little kids. I’m happy to administer medication, give treats and give you plenty of updates on how they are doing as I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone else. I am home a lot and have a very flexible schedule. I can give frequent bathroom breaks and follow whatever schedule your dog is used too I have a very large yard to run and play in and have well maintained grass walking trails on my property.

“Samantha is simply the best! We are able to leave our pup with her without a worry at all, knowing that he is going to receive the best care. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“We were very nervous to leave our high energy guy with anyone but Katelyn & Nicholas were the perfect fit! The large yard and other companions kept Bo very busy and happy. They sent us daily updates with pictures and were promt to answer when we texted to check in. Katelyn & Nicholas took the best care of our boy!”

“I’m always hesitant about leaving my old boy with anybody. He’s a quirky old man set in his ways. All my worries were put to rest because Jill took all my concerns seriously and addressed all of them. They even took him to a block party which I’m sure he loved because he’s a nosy old boy too.I will be very comfortable leaving my mutt with her again.”

“Taylor was absolutely amazing with Osa, I went from feeling scared of leaving Osa to feeling comfortable Osa was taken care of. Her response time was almost instant for the entirety of Osa's stay, and she was so flexible when I needed to add pick up and drop off for unexpected events! Taylor, thank you so much for making this one less thing for me to worry about during my travel!”

“Rumi took great care of my Bernese mountain dog Flynn! He was in literal paradise, she sent updates with photos, she was very easy to get ahold of and communicate with, and made his entire stay so wonderful! We will for sure be using her services again!!”

About: I have been a dog groomer for 15 years. I am now pupsitting out of my home. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am currently a stay at home mom. I groom dogs out of my home every Friday and Saturday. I go to church every Sunday morning and Wednesday evening. My flexible schedule allows me to care for each pet's individual needs very easily. We have 23 acres and live off a dirt road in the countryside of Holmes County. The dogs stay with us in our home, and each dog is walked potty outside on a leash. I do have crates of all sizes here already if needed for bedtime routine.
“What a great dog sitter. From meet and greet to extending a few hours upon our return to pick up. The communication, pictures, updates, and the love and care for our Chewy was a blessing to us. Thank you for making us feel comfortable leaving our senior dog with you. Extra special care was needed and Mckayla was willing to do it all.”
