About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and understand that pets are family. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’m patient, dependable, attentive to routines, and skilled at recognizing behavioral changes and individual needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, providing companionship, administering basic medications when instructed, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I have experience providing both in-home pet sitting and boarding dogs in my own home. Before transitioning into the corporate world, I partnered with a friend who owned a successful dog-sitting business, where I cared for pets for approximately six years. During that time, I gained experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and care needs. I’m now excited to return to pet care because it’s something I truly enjoy. I enjoy spending quality time with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone reliable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and plenty of affection. I’ll communicate with you throughout each visit by sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll provide patient, loving, and attentive care while respecting your home and your pet’s boundaries. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure your furry family member feels comfortable, secure, and loved every step of the way.
“Kane LOVES going to Emily’s house to stay with his friends Winter and Banner. Emily treats him like family and he gets so excited pulling up to her house every time she watches him. Emily does a great job at communicating and sending photos during his time with her. Kane will continue to stay with Emily and her family in the future.”
“Ellen did an amazing job caring for my 2 dogs! She followed all instructions and sent pictures throughout the day. My dogs seemed to be very comfortable with her. Highly recommend!”
“Moki always loves her stay with Stacey and her family. The kids are so good with Moki too 🫶. It’s a nice vacation for Moki. She gets plenty of walks and play time. Stacey follows Moki’s feeding instructions, and I have peace ☮️ knowing Moki is very well taken care of and loved. Thank you, Chrissy”

“Our very energetic pup, Bessie, stayed with Karla for a week. We were so grateful for Karla’s thoughtfulness and experience with dogs. Bessie had a blast with Karla and her two dogs. She provided thorough daily updates and was so flexible when we experienced travel delays! We highly recommend Karla!”
“Marena was our dog savior! We had a last minute trip out of town for the 4th of July weekend and our regular boarder couldn't watch our dog. Thankfully, Marena was willing to help us out. She's so positive and caring, we had no worries about our dog who can be anxious around new people. I HIGHLY recommend Marena. She's not only an awesome dog caretaker, she's an awesome person. Thanks so much!”
“Could not rave about Elizabeth more!! She was amazing and my dog loved her!! I’m nervous leaving my dog anywhere, but she really put my mind at ease and was so understanding. Will definitely be booking with her in the future!! Couldn’t ask for anyone better!”
“Our normal dog sitter was going on vacation when we had to leave town. We have a very hard time leaving our pets with just anybody. Both of them are big hunters so we always worry they’re going to get out of the yard or jet out the door. After meeting Sasha and visiting her home, we felt completely safe leaving the dogs with her. She has a fenced in backyard, agility course, and several parks nearby. She treated our dogs just like part of the family! Every single day Sasha sent us pictures of the dogs having a great time playing. Anytime I contacted her she got back with me right away. They even got Pup cups from starbucks. (Sasha texted me ahead of time to make sure it was ok for them to eat them.) When we picked up the girls she left us a lovely note, a picture of each dog, and two cupcakes for dogs. We highly recommend Sasha and are so happy our girls had a good time with her family.”
“Kris watched my dog for 5 days and it was a wonderful experience! She sent us daily updates and photos and we appreciate all the care and play time she put into our “high energy” dog!”

“Madigan did a great job as always checking in on our kitties while we were away! If they have any possible symptoms of a health issue, she keeps me in the loop. Love the attention that she gives the kitties and the cute pictures she takes.”
“We book with Avery time and time again because she is reliable, kind, and trustworthy with our kitty and our house. She gives great updates to give us peace of mind while we are traveling. Would absolutely recommend to all!”
“Justin was an awesome sitter for our two cats during a weeklong trip out of state! He was obviously great with our pets, easy to communicate with, and flexible to meet our needs. He was very respectful of our home as well, and left it looking the same if not better than we did :) We booked fairly last minute, and it was such a relief meeting Justin, and knowing our boys would be well taken care of. Thanks again Justin, we would love to book again in the future!”
“Lacey was very tuned in to the cats and their needs. She was willing to hold, pet, play or watch them do their thing (looking out windows lol). Gave our scaredy cat space yet still met cat care needs! Her pictures were awesome and helped us to fill at ease seeing how happy they were! Came every day as promised! We will positively ask for her again!”
“Estefani is such a wonderful and attentive sitter! She is always so considerate and we would book with her again anytime - cannot recommend her enough!”
“This is our second year of having Taylor cat sit for us while on vacation and I just can’t say enough good things. I think our cats behavior says the most about the quality of her care - our least social cat is currently waiting by the door for her at her normal check in time, even though we’re home and he’s been fed and has all of his favorite things. I wouldn’t trust anyone else in my home and with my pets, I cannot recommend her enough! We are so lucky to get to work with her, if you’re in need of a dependable and trustworthy sitter, this is your person.”
About: I’ve always loved cats and truly enjoy spending time with them. I understand that every cat has a different personality—some are social and playful, while others prefer a quieter approach—and I always let them set the pace. I have experience caring for cats of different ages and temperaments, including feeding, refreshing water, scooping litter boxes, playing with them, giving lots of attention (if they want it!), and administering oral medications when needed. My priority is making sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’ll care for your cat as if they were my own and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone.
“Stacey is a wonderful sitter and I will gladly rebook with her! She helped us by coming over for visits during the day for our dog. She's super reliable and her updates have been awesome. Since moving, our dog's social life has narrowed, so when we discussed her kids coming with her on visits, I was so happy with that; kid energy is good energy. Thanks Stacey for being such a kind and caring sitter for Morty!”
“Alex is seriously the best! So kind and professional and our cats love her. She takes such great care of them and really goes above and beyond. I needed her to stop by last minute and she was more than willing to help. Highly highly recommend booking with her.”
“Victoria was amazing! My now wife and I were out of town for ten days for our wedding and she took amazing care of our two kitties and our home. I could tell after the first visit summary that I was not going to have to worry about my cats all week! I will be rebooking with Victoria and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Brooke was absolutely amazing with our babies! We were scared to leave them with someone that wasn't family or a friend but she eased those scares! She sent plenty of pics & always made sure to ask before giving something to the pups or doing walks with them ! We will definitely book her again in the future!!!! Thanks for being such a sweet soul to our babies! 😊”
“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!”
“Rebecca is WONDERFUL! She took care of our two cats while we were traveling recently and she really put our minds at ease. She stopped by to meet the cats before our trip so I could go through all the things with her. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future. Thank you, Rebecca!”
“Talia did such a wonderful job taking care of our kitties when we were on an extended vacation! She made sure they got all the love and stayed stimulated with play time and cat videos that they love to watch. Highly recommend!”
“Courteney was amazing and gave me real time updates during her drop in visit with my cats. She went above and beyond and I felt that my fur babies were safe with her. I’d definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Cameron is absolutely amazing. I have brand new puppies and she made me totally comfortable with taking care of them for me. She is super responsible and responsive! I’m definitely recommending her to my friends and family.”
“Kyra went above and beyond to help me out. I had to extend her service because of my work and she was super flexible about it. Both my cat and chinchilla loved her and they both seemed happy and well taken care of when I came back.”

“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! :)”
“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!”

“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.”
“Thank you, he definitely slept on the way back. The pictures were awesome and as a trainer and fellow rover sitter I'm super jealous of her space. She was friendly and answered all my questions and was attentive. I have a new puppy that I would like to get socialized more mostly with different places,noises and ppl ,the dogs are a plus.”

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.
“He’s FABULOUS! My dog has not been boarded for years and coming to Tom’s home was easy for him. Tom took the time to meet us before he came to stay long term, so when Max saw Tom he was all happy tag wags! This is a miraculous event. I expected Max to be shy and back away, but he trotted into the house like he was an old friend. I am so grateful for Tom!”

About: Animals have been my passion ever since I was little, I always knew I wanted to work with animals when I grew up and ive owned dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, and turtles. I spent lots of time as a kid taking care of my own pets as well as family and friends. When I was 14 I began volunteering at non-profit animal shelters and when I was old enough I got a job working as a kennel attendant at an animal hospital where I oversaw dogs, cats, and birds and handled their food and medications. I also lived in Utah for a year where I worked for an independently owned pet care company that offered services for cats, dogs, birds, and more! I absolutely adore animals, and id love to give your fur and feather babies the care they deserve I am currently available mon-sun from 9:00am - 7:00pm with flexibility depending on the day. I want to put as much time as possible into this! I am very respectful and have in-home pet care experience. I like to leave a home nicer than i found it. I make sure to give your pet the full attention they deserve and go above and beyond

“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 an animal lover who's grown up with multiple family members who owned dogs and have had my own German Shepherd for years since puppyhood! Well versed in caring for, walking, and enjoying company of pets. I'm a college student currently working part-time and studying for the LSAT, so I have a fairly flexible schedule that can work well for you! My approach would be to try to provide structure to the animals while following the rules and preferences of the clients. I've found my own dog is the happiest when provided efficient stimulation, so I would want to provide that for any pets I was sitting.

About: I have a soft spot for fur babies!! I have always had dogs of all sizes and breeds so I know the care and attention that they need!! I am patient and love to keep the dog active if needed. High energy dogs are no issue!! I am willing to do walks, play/food time and some overnight stays. I am available on the weekends for walks and drop in visits. I have no preference on a breed, I would just like a friendly dog. I had a Mastiff named Bullwinkle and I am need of some dog snuggles. If your dog needs lots of snuggles and cuddles I am their person! I have availability in the mornings, afternoon and evenings. I will do overnight week days/weekends if scheduled with plenty of notice. I love to keep dogs active and give a lot of attention. I will keep your pup active and give lots of cuddles and attention.

About: Hi!🫶🏼 I Would love to help care for your animals in any capacity. I have extensive experience with animals and have worked at a dog boarding kennel in the past in addition to growing up with pets. I have worked with aggressive dogs and am comfortable reading a dog’s cues to prevent escalation. I currently have a Bernese mountain dog who is always down for a play date and a cat who tolerates her antics haha. Bonus- I’m an ER nurse, far from a vet tech, but good for med admin if needed! With that, I do work 3 shifts a week(12 hours) that vary. So while my schedule can be sporadic, it can also be very open! I work full time 3 days a week and use rover sitters myself for those days. My schedule varies, but I am great for last minute needs as long as I’m not working! I try to stick to your pet’s routine and rules! I am also very good at recognizing body language/behaviors and therefore can prevent “incidents” from occurring like aggression on walks. I’m also happy to bring along my Berner for a play date if you’d like!
About: I’ve cared after dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities! I have spent extra time with puppies, I could help in teaching various tricks and obedience behaviors using balanced training. I also have a knack for cooperative care training, if your dog requires any special kind of attention. Anxious and nervous dogs hold a special place in my heart, nothing is more rewarding than watching them break out of their shell. Dogs rule my life, I like it that way. I myself get the zoomies and have the energy to burn your pup out!! My home can accommodate any needs, as well as I. Busy schedule? No sweat, consider me a body double! I have three well socialized and friendly dogs to keep yours company if they want it. I also have crates, if your dog prefers some independence. I have a fenced in yard, and plenty of yard to run on. I keep a very structured routine and max play groups at 4 dogs. The perfect home if your dog cannot tolerate high volume facilities.
About: I have experience caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and providing plenty of love, attention, and companionship. I work full time at the moment but I am looking to do this full time so that I can go to dental assisting school. I myself have a fenced in yard, but I am comfortable with non yard homes, walking dogs, going to a dog park, groomers, providing medicine and cuddles.
About: I have always taken care of my own pets and have pet-sat for years, for both dogs and cats. I enjoy walking dogs and caring for them. I am looking for a part-time flexible job that will fit into my current schedule. I am available with notice and can be available early or late. I will only take care of pets in your home. I currently have a dog and 5 cats and could not upset their balance. I enjoy walking with the dogs and playing fetch. I also enjoy down time just talking with them and petting them.
“Had a last minute booking due to another Rover having to cancel from emergency and Donald was so helpful. Very communicative and professional. Would recommend his services.”
About: I have had animals since I was 6 and I take care of my animals and my friends and family! I would love to spend time with your furry friends! Currently I am just looking for jobs but in the meantime I am trying to earn money for payments I need and care for my animals! I always have a phone on me so if I need to contact someone or I need contacted that will never be an issue and I am never late and will always be there for your furry friends!
About: I’ve been pet sitting since high school. I hesitantly used this app when I moved to Columbus, and have become a huge fan. I know how scary it can be to trust a stranger with your pet. I’d love to be your trusted partner for when you’re away! I own my own business, which I work remotely, so I am extremely flexible on timing and am available most days to care for your pets! I am adaptable to your pets care needs. I prefer to step into whatever routine you currently have, as to not disrupt your pets normal!
About: What sets me apart is my 15+ years of hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities plus four years as a vet tech assistant, where I learned to safely give medications, monitor health, and care for dogs with special needs. I’ve fostered everything from tiny puppies (two litters during Covid!) to a young German Shepherd named Maggie, which taught me patience, gentle training, and how to make even the shyest dogs feel at home. I work from home at a tech startup, so most of the day your pup will have me at their disposal! I’m also available for boarding on weekends. I love taking dogs on daily walks around the city to explore and get plenty of exercise. At home, your pup will be part of my family and get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I share my home with Sonny, my easygoing border collie mix, who’s been my best friend for four years. He loves every dog he meets whether they want to play or just coexist peacefully so your pup will have a friendly companion if they’d like one.

I have experience providing both in-home pet sitting and boarding dogs in my own home. Before transitioning into the corporate world, I partnered with a friend who owned a successful dog-sitting business, where I cared for pets for approximately six years. During that time, I gained experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and care needs. I’m now excited to return to pet care because it’s something I truly enjoy. I enjoy spending quality time with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone reliable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and plenty of affection. I’ll communicate with you throughout each visit by sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll provide patient, loving, and attentive care while respecting your home and your pet’s boundaries. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure your furry family member feels comfortable, secure, and loved every step of the way.
“Kane LOVES going to Emily’s house to stay with his friends Winter and Banner. Emily treats him like family and he gets so excited pulling up to her house every time she watches him. Emily does a great job at communicating and sending photos during his time with her. Kane will continue to stay with Emily and her family in the future.”
“Ellen did an amazing job caring for my 2 dogs! She followed all instructions and sent pictures throughout the day. My dogs seemed to be very comfortable with her. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Our very energetic pup, Bessie, stayed with Karla for a week. We were so grateful for Karla’s thoughtfulness and experience with dogs. Bessie had a blast with Karla and her two dogs. She provided thorough daily updates and was so flexible when we experienced travel delays! We highly recommend Karla!”
“Could not rave about Elizabeth more!! She was amazing and my dog loved her!! I’m nervous leaving my dog anywhere, but she really put my mind at ease and was so understanding. Will definitely be booking with her in the future!! Couldn’t ask for anyone better!”
“Our normal dog sitter was going on vacation when we had to leave town. We have a very hard time leaving our pets with just anybody. Both of them are big hunters so we always worry they’re going to get out of the yard or jet out the door. After meeting Sasha and visiting her home, we felt completely safe leaving the dogs with her. She has a fenced in backyard, agility course, and several parks nearby. She treated our dogs just like part of the family! Every single day Sasha sent us pictures of the dogs having a great time playing. Anytime I contacted her she got back with me right away. They even got Pup cups from starbucks. (Sasha texted me ahead of time to make sure it was ok for them to eat them.) When we picked up the girls she left us a lovely note, a picture of each dog, and two cupcakes for dogs. We highly recommend Sasha and are so happy our girls had a good time with her family.”
“Kris watched my dog for 5 days and it was a wonderful experience! She sent us daily updates and photos and we appreciate all the care and play time she put into our “high energy” dog!”
“We are so grateful for Kathryn! 💕 She has always been so patient with our flight delays and is always willing to take care of Minnie, even at the last minute. She treats Minnie with so much love and kindness, and we can tell our pup feels completely comfortable and happy with her. Communication is always smooth, and she goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. Knowing Minnie is in her care gives us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter—she truly feels like part of the family! 🥰”
“Chad and Cara were great with our senior dog! She was a little anxious to be away from us as we have never used rover before & we were nervous when we left her because she is our baby. They sent pictures and updates every day. Even when our dog decided she wanted to pee in their house (which she never does at home) they were super understanding about it!”
“Alex was fantastic with my dog Oliver. I received many pictures and updates on his days. Definitely recommend Alex and her care and Oliver will be back with her!”
