“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!”

“Communicative and professional! Put my mind at ease being away from my baby Gizmo in a new state for so long, but he fit in just fine and was very timely with responses! Would love to use again when we come up next year!”


“Ashliegh is wonderful and Sloopy didn't want to come home with us! We received photos and updates during our trip and could tell that Sloopy was having a ball. She will be back!”

“I had an emergency while traveling and my return trip was delayed. When you're handling severe weather and major delays, the last thing you want to worry about is whether your pet can be cared for. Lauren was very communicative and I knew my boy was safe and sound while I was scrambling to get home. A+++”

“Scott and Katrina were wonderful! They communicated with us throughout Kona’s stay and sent lots of photos and videos, which we really appreciated. Kona loved playing with their dogs and having their beautiful backyard to run around in. Scott and Katrina were both so sweet with her, and it was obvious that Kona felt happy and comfortable with them. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!”

“Exceptional sitter ! Elizabeth went above and beyond in her care for Tucker ! Very professional and did a great job communicating. Would definitely recommend !”


“Karen was great with our 7 month old high maintenance Frenchie! She was even able to give her medications that were started right before we left on vacation! Moira had so much fun and was super worn out when we picked her up. Karen sent pictures and even a few videos. We will definitely be using her again in the future so watch our fur baby!”

“Very much appreciated Kyla watching our Nori while we were out of town for the holiday. He is a large hyper fuzzball but he came home tuckered out, so I know he got his exercise! Also appreciated the flexibility in drop off and pick up times.”

“Sally did such a great job with our older pup, Lucy. She helped Lucy adjust and supported her medical needs. We had a last minute change and she was great to help up make it work. Great care!”

“We were really nervous to leave Walter with just anyone, but when we found Bill our minds were put at ease. He sent us pictures everyday and text to let us know how he was doing. He also has the perfect yard for the dogs to run around and play. We would definitely recommend him! ? You will be very happy with his care!”

“Tharatip & Daniel did a fantastic job sitting for Chewie! They sent several pics and videos over the weekend while they watched her. They were treating her like part of their family which is what we were looking for. Thanks again!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Nicolette. She’s sweet and compassionate. She took care of my little Princess like she was her own. I know she gave her lots of love and attention and cuddle time. Princess gets two eye creams twice a day and Nicolette handled that with no problem. She gave me daily reports about how Princess was doing and she sent lots of pictures. I felt completely comfortable with Nicolette and I know she took wonderful care of my fur baby. I will definitely use her again!”

“We met Melanie during the pandemic, and she has watched our kitty Boots for us a couple times so far. She is/was very respectful of covid precautions and made us feel very comfortable during our meet and greet. She clearly has a love for animals and will give your pet TLC while you are away. She took the time to listen to our requests and answered any questions we had. She shows up on time and pays attention to the detailed notes/tasks we leave. We recommend Melanie!”


“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 experience on Rover, we were nervous about it as we weren't sure how it all worked. But it all went very smoothly. We booked Jamie to drop-in on our cats during a long trip. She came by prior to the trip just to meet with us, meet the cats, ask questions, etc. Jamie was very responsive and attentive and very detail oriented. She's quite flexible and followed our instructions and kept us updated after every visit. We would absolutely book Jamie again in the future.”


About: I have pet sat for many types of dogs and cats with different needs and ages. I am experienced with giving medication to dogs through food and from hand. I am a full time student during the school year, but I am available most of the summer during the week. I am also willing to do multiple visits through out the day. I am able to feed pets, give medications, let out dogs to go to bathroom if backyard is available. I am determined to provide a safe space where your pet feels loved and cared for.

“She is, by far the best sitter I've ever had she's very thorough. She takes pictures before and after.So I can see exactly what my babies have eaten in as well as what's been used in the litter box.This is very helpful. She does ask questions which is great and does her best to make the kitties feel comfortable. Both my cats are very finicky and they don't come out much. Both are shy and one of them travels with me often.So when I leave her home, she needs extra care. So I would rate this sitter Five star and recommend her.”


“Bethani is great with my cats, very caring, sends us great "proof of life" photos when we've been on vacation and is very comfortable to work with. I highly recommend her!”


“Madie was awesome! Accommodated a last minute request and provided great communication the entire time I was away. Would definitely use her services again.”


“Thelma is a nervous dog, Ashliegh did a great job letting Thelma get comfortable with her during the meet and greet. Judging by the photos, Thelma felt quite at ease during the drop in!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Pataskala
“Arya N was great to communicate with and it was a very easy and smooth experience. He sent multiple video and photo updates through the day even working with him and our pup came back happy. I would definitely recommend to anyone and wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thank you again for the care you gave to our pup for the day!!!”

“My dog had a great time with Jodi and her family! Clem felt right at home and received excellent care and attention. Communications from Jodi were prompt and frequent. I highly recommend her!”

“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!”

“First time leaving my dog with anyone. Kyla was awesome. I plan to schedule more daycare days with her so that my dog gets familiar with her, anticipating some overnight boarding in the near future.”


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.

“This is my first time using Rover and Ashliegh was great to work with. My dog had a great time playing with her kids and she sent updated pictures often (which I appreciated). Happy to have found her!”

“Jaz did a great job boarding my greyhound, Rocky. Jaz has good instincts with dogs and a kind demeanor. She accommodated my dog’s needs which helped him become comfortable at her home rather quickly. In addition to all her animal care skills, Jaz is highly organized. Her routines and processes helped my dog become comfortable quickly. And I loved that although Jaz is organized, she is flexible and found ways to make the entire process easier for me, as her client.”

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.
“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!”

“Thank you so much for taking amazing care of Jack and Rosie for the day while we spent the day at the fair. I was able to enjoy our time with the grandkids because we knew our fur babies were in awesome hands. Thanks again!!!!!”

“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.”

“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!!”

“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!”

“Scott and Katrina were the sweetest people and I felt so comfortable leaving my girl in their care. They have the perfect set up for dogs and you can tell they truly care for the dogs in their home. We will definitely be repeats!”


About: As a former veterinary technician, I bring professional experience, genuine compassion, and a deep understanding of animal care to every pet I look after. I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, comfortable, and truly cared for while you’re away. I offer personalized dog boarding, sitting, and basic training tailored to each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs. Whether your pup is energetic and playful, prefers a quiet environment, needs extra patience, or simply loves some extra attention, I strive to make their time in my care feel like a home away from home. 🐾 With my veterinary background, I’m also comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or signs that something may not be quite right, giving pet parents an added level of reassurance. My goal is more than simply watching your dog — it’s providing them with loving, attentive care while maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. I have many long term established clients that would love to reach out to you if you wish! I currently provide full-time dog boarding and training from my home, where caring for animals is what I love and do every day. My mornings start with my furry guests, and my days are centered around making sure each dog feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for. 🐾 Every dog has their own unique personality, routine, energy level, and individual needs. I plan my days around each guest so I can provide personalized attention and care while also respecting the specific routines and preferences of my clients. While staying with me, every dog receives plenty of outdoor activity, exercise, playtime, and socialization, with opportunities to interact with myself and other dogs staying in my care. I also have a strong veterinary background from my previous experience as a veterinary technician, giving me additional knowledge and confidence when caring for dogs who require medications, special routines, or extra attention. Dogs with special medical or individual needs are always welcome, and I’m happy to work closely with their owners to make sure those needs are properly accommodated. My goal is to give every dog a comfortable, enriching home-away-from-home experience while giving their owners peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced and caring hands. ❤️🐶 When your dog is in my care, **their safety and well-being are always my top priority.** Dogs staying in my home are supervised throughout the day, both indoors and outdoors, and I strive to provide an environment where they can feel comfortable, secure, and included. I have a spacious, beautiful backyard where the dogs can enjoy plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and play. Inside the home, I provide safe, appropriate toys and activities based on the individual dogs and the dynamics of the group staying with me at the time. I’m mindful of each dog’s personality, play style, size, and needs when deciding what activities and toys are appropriate. On the rare occasion that a dog needs to be left unattended for a short period of time, I offer **large, secure crates** for owners who prefer their dogs to be crated. If an owner prefers that their dog not be crated, I have a designated, dog-safe area of my home where they can relax comfortably and safely while I’m briefly away. In many cases, dogs are even able to **join me when I leave the house**, depending on the owner’s preferences and what is appropriate for their dog\. My own dog is with me nearly everywhere I go, so I’m happy to include boarding guests whenever possible\. Every stay is personalized to the owner’s wishes and their dog’s individual needs\. My goal is to make sure your dog feels like part of the family while you’re away — with plenty of attention, activity, supervision, and, of course, lots of love. 🐾❤️

About: I have had animals all my life. Living on a farm ranging from horses and pigs to cats and dogs. Now living by myself with 3 furry friends I’m confident I can handle and care for any surprises your pets would throw at me. I do currently work on Thursdays to Saturdays and every other Sunday. I work nights so if you are in need of help I can stop by during the days on those days. I have 2 cats and 1 dog of my own. Each have their very own personalities. I pride myself in understanding their needs and wants. I do spoil them rotten. When living with my parents we had over 5 dogs at one time and multiple cats with other animals such as horses, rabbits, pigs and many others.
“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!”

About: I am here to love on your pets just like my own. I can guarantee that they will feel loved and safe with me. They will have a great time on our visit because I will tune into their needs. 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. I can’t think of anything better than spending my time with animals. I am willing to help your fur baby have a great day. I love nature and being outside. I would love to come and walk your dog or just let them outside and play with them. Thank you for considering me and I hope you have a beautiful day.
