Perfect for high energy dogs - Grandview Heights
“Mary was very accommodating on such short notice. I was informed by messages, pics and videos throughout day. Dogs were happy. Everything went real well. Glad there is a trusted pet lover that can lend a hand.”
About: Hi, I'm Daniel, and dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I've cared for up to three dogs at once and even bred one of my own, who had a litter of eight puppies. That experience gave me a deep understanding of dogs at every stage of life, from newborns to adults. Your pup will be in experienced, loving hands with me! I work from home, so I am able to spend quality time with your dog and take them out on a regular cadence. I am flexible with my schedule. I live in a house with a fenced-in yard, so your dog will also have the opportunity to roam around off-leash. I keep pets safe by ensuring secure, escape-proof spaces, maintaining their normal routine, and giving them constant attention and affection in a calm, comfortable environment they can feel at home in.
“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!”
“Shanelle was amazing with Brownie! She took such great care of him and kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which really gave me peace of mind. I could tell he was in loving, capable hands. Highly recommend her!”
“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: Hi! I am a pet owner and enthusiast. Since I am a professor, I work from home and have a lot of free time in summers and holidays to hang out with your wonderful dog. I love getting to know a pet’s wants, anticipate their anxieties, and most importantly play! My work requires me to be on-site part time, so I am quite flexible for overnight stays, extra long walks, and boarding at my place with my sheltie Flora. I have a two bedroom apartment with my sweet, spayed sheltie Flora who loves to play and take naps. I am quite active so I would be happy to take your dog on long epic walks.
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 :)
“This was my second time taking back my pup after a great first experience. Same exact level of care as the first time. Would definitely recommend to anybody in the Columbus area. Luna is gonna miss you!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Latisha is an incredible sitter and went above and beyond in a way that I can’t even begin to mention in a tiny review on this website. I am forever grateful to have found her to watch my baby boy.”
“She took awesome care of my two babies even after they totally act like they had no home training kept in contact and was even accommodating with picking up early and dropping off late I appreciate her so much highly recommended and will definitely use again”
About: I care for ONE pet family at a time, giving your fur kiddos undivided attention! I work from home and have a secure, fenced in yard. My goal is for your pet to feel safe and loved while you’re away. A mutual stress relief, hanging with your pet is the best part of my day! I work from home full time, and provide frequent potty and sunshine breaks. I am available between 745am - 830pm for pickups and drop offs. My home is designed with pets in mind — safe, calm, and full of love. I live in a clean, cozy space where cats and pups can explore, nap, and get comfy. I’m mindful of every detail, from secure doors and windows to quiet corners for shy or senior pets. My own two friendly cats are used to sharing their space and love making new friends, but I can easily provide separation if your pet prefers solo time. I follow feeding and medication schedules carefully and keep a close eye on every guest’s comfort and well-being. You can expect regular updates and photos, so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and cared for as if they were my own.
“Andrew was a wonderful sitter! This was the first time I’ve ever used Rover for Doggy Day Care and it was such a positive experience. Andrew was flexible with us, as we were traveling to and from Cedar Point. He took Piper on several fun, long walks. He lives in a beautiful area, perfect for a pup to relax and also to enjoy nature. He sent pictures and was responsive with updates. I highly recommend him and would definitely rebook.”
About: I’ve been a foster parent for Columbus Humane for 5 years. I’ve fostered everything from big dogs rescued from abuse cases to litters of kittens and their moms to pregnant guinea pigs! I also grew up in a house with 5 dogs and 2 cats—so nothing can surprise me. I have experience with breeds of all sizes, puppies, special medical needs, senior/end-of-life care, mixed animal homes (dogs AND cats, for example), and behavioral issues (other-dog aggressive, skittish, etc). I study from home all day and relax by going on walks with a science podcast. Your house, my house, whatever works—I’d love for your pup to join me! I’m currently studying from home full-time! So plenty of time for play, walks, potty breaks, or cuddles. I can do overnight boarding and doggy daycare at my house (I have a fenced backyard). I can offer lots of walks and attention as I study from home. I have a fenced-in backyard for playtime/potty and spare rooms for separation if needed. There is 1 set or stairs, but I can carry those who cannot do stairs if they are under 30lbs. I have experience with medical needs and first-aid. I’m happy to discuss your unique situation and see if we fit!
“Suzanne is excellent. She took care of our puppy like her own. He was always happy to go and when I picked up. Suzanne made sure all care instructions were followed to the dot. I am glad we could find her. Will always contact her when we need to.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Grandview Heights
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker! Maya took care of our two dogs twice a day for more than a week while we were out of town. To our relief, she accepted the job on very short notice and was absolutely spectacular. Our dogs loved her instantly and looked forward to her visits. Every picture she sent showed two happy, smiling pups. They were relaxed and content when we got home, and thanks to Maya, the girls didn’t have a single accident in the house! Maya is kind, gentle, dependable, and truly takes the time to understand each dog’s individual personality, likes, and dislikes. We are so grateful to her and will definitely use her again. We highly recommend Maya to any pet parent!”
“Anna is prompt and reliable! I have an energetic puppy who needs exercise and I feel so relieved knowing she had a fun walk and a chance to go potty while I’m at work. Anna always keeps me updated with pictures and notes from the walk, rain or shine. I know she’s in safe hands!”
“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: Hi! My name is Sabrina and I’m a second year optometry student at The Ohio State University! My first job at 13 was taking care of 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 second year optometry student looking for an easy and fun way to make some extra money! My schedule for school keeps me pretty busy, but I do have time to fit in some pet sitting jobs! 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!
“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!!!”
“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!”
“This is our second time booking with Emma, and we'll happily book with her again in the future. We had good communication, the walks were for the agreed upon amount of time, and we always came home to a happy dog!”
“Anita is fabulous. She is promot in her communication and reliable in her follow through. She is caring and takes care of our buddy like her own. She has been helping us with his care for last two years. I can not say enough positive things about her.”
“After 2 walks with Mallory, I'm pleased. Jimmy knew what she was here for the second walk. He's tired after, which is what I wanted. I added a pic of him sleeping tonight (1 1/2hrs) after his walk. His eyes are rolled back in his head, and snoring. Mallory is very kind and obviously loves animals. I'm so grateful to have found a great match. Excited to see Jimmy be more active.”

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.
“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!”
“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 had dogs and cats all throughout my life growing up, and I now have a 4 year old golden retriever and a 2 year old spunky orange cat. My animals are my world and I would treat your animals as my own! I would only want to trust my animals with someone who I knew would treat them as well as I would, and I want to provide that for others. :) I currently work from home, so I can be flexible to check in on your babies throughout the day. I’ll be available for boarding on the weekends, as long as your animal is friendly with other animals ( I have a golden retriever who loves to play and a curious kitty cat) I live in an apartment with a super friendly dog and curious kitty cat. I can crate your dog as needed and I will make sure they get lots of safe outside time together or separate as needed.
“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!”
“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!”
“Molly was AMAZING! She stepped right in when I contacted her last minute with short notice for help to have someone walk my pup. Biscuit immediately connected with her because of her gentle and kind spirit. I definitely recommend booking Molly!!”
“In addition to being a reliable and communicative walker, Jessica even stayed with Myles today while he was sick. Made me feel so much better to know he was well taken care of and closely monitored!”
About: I've cared for pets (dogs, cats, goats, chickens) since I was 8-years-old. Friends and family know they can always rely on me give their animals the care and attention they need. I have experience providing medication (oral, shots) to senior pets, as well as those with complex health needs. I have a flexible schedule with minimal work during the summer months, which leaves me available with lots of time to care for your furry friend. I can tailor my schedule around your needs and their preferences. I have two pet-loving kiddos who are happy to play with animals and who also know how to give them some space if they'd prefer it. Our front yard is unfenced, but we have a very walkable neighborhood with green space to allow sufficient outdoor time. We can provide flexible care in our home depending on what your animal needs.

“We were delighted with the care our dogs received while with Kirah and Mitch. They kept them for several days and each day, we received pics and info about how the girls were doing. It seems as though our dogs were simply integrated into their normal, family life. One of our dogs was sitting by Kirah’s visiting grandma in a picture and was also being wrapped into blankets on their couch. Another dog was Kirah’s shadow and Kirah didn’t seem to mind in the slightest. It’s always hard to leave your dogs with someone new, but thankfully, it all worked out beautifully. We’ll definitely leave our girls in their care again when needed.”
