“Elizabeth and her family were wonderful. She kept us updated on our Fur baby which was very helpful. It was our first time being away from home, so we were a little anxious about the process. She made it very easy for us and we will definitely use her services again! In fact I'm pretty sure that Fur baby wants a playdate!”
“This was our first time leaving Rufus anywhere overnight and he did fabulously! Karen was good to send updates and pics to assure me that Rufus was having a great time! He hit it off with Boomer and the two played all day and night. By time we got Rufus home, he was a happy, tired boy! :) We already have Karen scheduled for our next outing. Highly recommend!”
“Scott was so wonderful with my kitty, Chester. He took such good care of him! I received daily pictures and updates. He was also very communicative and worked with me on a little later pick up time. Thank you Scott!!”
“Ashleigh is amazing. My pup settled in really well for his first stay outside of our home. She stayed in contact throughout the entire stay. I truly appreciate the love and care she provided while we were away.”
“This being my very first time using Rover. Nate & Aylissia were amazing caring for our sweet girl Gia. They communicate in a timely manner. Appreciate them doing a video meet and an in-person meet & greet. Also appreciated the pics/videos they shared of Gia. Seems she became best buds with their dog Jasper. Our fur babies are just like our children. Thank You to you both for opening up your home and giving Gia the same love and care as she receives at home. Look forward to using you all again in the future. Blessings!!”
“Cristi took AMAZING care of our four dogs last weekend. We were getting married in Hocking Hills and last minute decided we should find someone to watch our dogs during the weekend. Cristi was extremely friendly and helpful. Not only did she keep all four of the dogs the entire weekend, she was also willing to pick up our dogs after our ceremony so we could have our little ones in our wedding :). It was such a relief to have our dogs so well cared for throughout the weekend and appreciate Cristi's flexibility with our schedules!!!”
About: My fiancée, Katrina, and I are dog lovers and own four dogs ourselves-a Bernese Mountain Dog, a Vizsla, and two Miniature Schnauzers—so we have plenty of experience with dogs big and small. We have been pet-sitting for friends and family for years and work from home so your pup will have round-the-clock company. Our house has a fully fenced backyard with a magnetic screen door so they will have access to the outside whenever they want. Our dogs also love to play with other dogs, and are very friendly and chill. We have experience with senior dogs and dogs with medical needs, so if your pet has medication needs, we can make sure your pup stays on schedule with whatever they need. I think you will quickly find that your dog becomes part of our family and we treat them as our own, and your pup will view their stay with us as a relaxing vacation and want to return again and again. One of us is always working from home, so there will never be a time when your pet is alone. We tend to be homebodies, and will schedule social events around the care of your pet. We have a fully fenced backyard and generally leave the backdoor open during the day so that the dogs can go in/out at their own leisure. We live in a quiet neighborhood so if your dog prefers to be walked, the neighborhood is self-contained, off the main road and fully sidewalked. Your dog will have full run of the house, and is even permitted to be on furniture! We also have a variety of dog beds and crates for whatever style your dog prefers to sleep or relax. And if your dog likes to sleep in bed—well I guess we can oblige :) We also live approximately 5 minutes from a dog park, so your pup can also go on a fun field trip while in our care (or if you prefer for them to stay at our house only, that's fine as well). We are also less than a mile from MedVet, so in case of any emergency, we can ensure your pet's medical needs are taken care of quickly.
“The dogs seemed to have a great time, they were exhausted when they got home from all the running around and playing they did. We will definitely use them for future stays.”
“This is our first time using this service. We had a death in the family and had to head out of state abruptly. I must say, Dajon is phenomenal! From the moment we arrived, he was welcoming and had a calm demeanor towards our fur babies. He sent us photos and videos of our dogs fun adventures throughout the day. He was extremely flexible when we needed to extend our time at short notice. His overall love and care for animals is top notch. I would highly recommend him and will definitely use his services again! Thank you Dajon for taking such good care of Daisy and Diamond!!”
About: Hi! I’m Brittany, and I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. As the proud owner of a happy 5-year-old French Bulldog, I understand that pets are family and deserve patience, love, and personalized care. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, administering basic medications, and caring for dogs with unique personalities and needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages, giving you peace of mind throughout your time away. My Services 🐾 Dog Boarding 🐾 House Sitting 🐾 Drop-In Visits 🐾 Dog Walking Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday life. As the owner of a 5 yr old Frenchie, my days already revolve around walks, feeding, playtime, enrichment, and making sure my own dog is happy and healthy. Because caring for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, it’s easy to incorporate additional pets into my daily routine. I plan my schedule so every dog gets the attention, exercise, and one-on-one care they deserve. Whether it’s an early morning walk, midday potty break, afternoon play session, or evening cuddle time, I make sure each pet receives consistent care and plenty of affection. I truly love spending time with animals! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to keep pets comfortable, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality because some dogs love to play all day, while others are happiest relaxing with belly rubs and cuddles. In a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would want for my own. I make sure pets feel safe in their familiar environment, keep everything clean and tidy, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners can enjoy their time away without worrying. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. They receive plenty of supervision, affection, exercise, and a safe, comfortable place to relax. I keep plenty of clean toys, orthopedic beds and blankets on hand so your pet feels at home. My goal is always to make them feel loved and at home.
“Karla is super sweet and super flexible! She’s great with the dogs and gave lots of cute pictures and honest updates! It was my anxious puppy’s first stay with strangers as well as other dogs and they made fast friends :) she’s very responsible and has a great environment for the dogs, and shes very kind and understanding with them as well as you :) I would recommend Karla for a dog of any size, age or temperament, she did a great job and I will definitely be back!”
“Justen was very accommodating and flexible with drop off and pickup. He sent pictures and made me feel secure that my pup was safe and being cared for as if she were his own!”
“She was very patient with my Bella and kept in contact with me the whole time. We were nervous because this was our babies first boarding she kept us informed. We could really tell Tamisha really cares about every dog.”
“Joe has quickly become our go to sitter! Hank was so excited to see him and Duke! As nervous dog parents we feel like we’re actually able to relax when we’re away as we know he’s in very good hands. Thanks again for the great care you provide!”
“The dogs both loved the environment in the home and seemed comfortable and content. There were enough people present to give them the attention and care they needed. She sent frequent updates with pictures of the way they were behaving. Overall very pleased with how they did.”
About: I have always had a love and passion for caring for small dogs. Over the past three years, I have gained personal experience caring for my own pet, learning the importance of patience, consistency, love, and attention in helping a dog feel safe and happy. Throughout the years, I have also helped care for family and friends’ pets, which has allowed me to build trust with different dogs and understand their unique needs and personalities. One of my favorite parts of caring for dogs is watching them grow into their own little personalities. Every dog is different, and I enjoy learning what makes each one feel loved, comfortable, and excited. I especially love small dogs because of their sweet, playful, and affectionate nature. Whether it’s cuddling, going on walks, playing, or simply spending quality time with them, I truly enjoy making sure dogs feel cared for, loved, and supported. My goal is always to provide a safe, gentle, and fun environment where pets feel like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine because I have been caring for my own small dog for the last three years. Each day, I make time for feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure my dog feels loved, safe, and comfortable. I enjoy building that routine because dogs thrive on consistency, attention, and care. Throughout the week, I also make space for longer walks, extra playtime, grooming needs, and quality bonding time. Since I have helped watch family and friends’ pets over the years, I understand how important it is to keep pets on a routine that feels familiar to them. Pet care fits naturally into my life because I truly enjoy being around dogs, learning their personalities, and giving them the love and attention they deserve. I currently work full time from home 4 days a week and have plenty of time to help others care for their fur babies. I care for pets with patience, attention, and love when they are in my home. My goal is always to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while keeping their routine as normal as possible. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and welcoming environment where pets can relax, play, cuddle, and feel like part of the family. I make sure they have fresh water, proper feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. Since I have a passion for small dogs, I really enjoy creating a space where they can feel comfortable and loved. Whether I am cuddling with them, taking them on walks, playing with them, or simply keeping them company, I care for every pet as if they were my own.
“Lauren was absolutely great with my doggos! She sent me pictures and kept me updated. One of my dogs required quite a bit of medication and she was very accepting of it. I would definitely recommend Lauren if you ever need someone to care for your fur babies!”

We arrived back home after 3 days and my babies were happy and healthy. Will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“I will definitely book Krystal again. She has taken wonderful care of my cat. Just hope she will still be available. Once you have her watch your pet you won’t want anyone else.”

Our cats got some good play time & lots of pets/love from her :) She’s very communicative, accommodating, and reliable!

“Ava was great with my kitten. She's pretty young and needed extra attention and Ava was a great companion for her. Would absolutely use her in the future.”
“Katherine was awesome ! She saved me by helping me in a bind and was excellent with Zola . I highly recommend as she was super friendly and dependable. I plan on requesting her when ever I need help . Thank you Katherine!”
About: I’ve cared for many different rescue cats over the years! In my own home, I take care of the feeding, litter scooping, cleaning, and maintenance, and I have lots of experience in doing so! My family and I currently have 11 cats, and although at times it can be challenging, cats are simple creatures with big personalities and lots of love to give! So it’s all worth it!!
“Alyssa was beyond amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our pets. I went out of town for a few days, and while my husband worked long hours she was able to help out a few hours each day to give our youngest pup a break out of the cage and take of our other pets that included guinea pigs and a bunny. Sadly, one of my daughter's guinea pigs became very sick and Alyssa was on top of notifying me right away and willing to go above and beyond to do anything to help out with me being 500 miles away from home. I strongly recommend Alyssa to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”

About: Hi, I’m Ariel—a lifelong Ohio resident, entrepreneur, and proud dog mom of 10+ years. I work primarily from home, which allows me to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day for dogs staying in my home or while caring for pets in their own home. Our home is shared with my sweet daughter and two friendly miniature dachshunds, creating a calm, family-oriented environment where many dogs quickly feel comfortable. Whether your pup is staying for doggy daycare, overnight boarding, or you’re looking for someone to care for your pets while staying in your home, I strive to make their experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. I know how difficult it can be to leave a beloved pet behind. That’s why I care for every dog as if they were part of my own family—with patience, affection, playtime, and plenty of updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pup! Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I run my own business from home, so I’m able to build dog walks and visits into my day while still keeping a consistent schedule. It’s something I genuinely enjoy because it gets me outside and allows me to spend time caring for dogs throughout the week. I care for every pet with patience and attention to their individual needs. In my home, dogs have access to a fully fenced yard where they can safely enjoy fresh air and playtime. I also live on a quiet street, which makes walks calm and relaxed. I always follow the routines and preferences owners share with me, whether that’s feeding schedules, exercise needs, or specific instructions for their pet’s comfort. My goal is to make sure each dog feels safe, cared for, and as comfortable as possible while their owner is away.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine care, patience, and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. I enjoy keeping pets engaged through play, affection, and enrichment activities, including fun activities like dress-up and photos (with the owner’s permission). I’m also comfortable providing gentle care for senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra patience, and more companionship. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs play and structure or an older pet who needs calm attention and comfort, I adjust my care to fit their needs. As a stay-at-home seamstress, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I make time for regular feeding, fresh water, exercise, and play, while also ensuring pets receive attention, grooming, and any needed care. Because I work from home, I can maintain a consistent schedule and respond promptly to their needs throughout the day. I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care based on each pet’s individual needs and the owner’s instructions. This includes feeding and providing fresh water, taking dogs on walks, cleaning up after pets, administering medication if directed, engaging them in play and exercise, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. I also keep living areas clean by cleaning litter boxes, food and water bowls, and any pet-related messes. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s normal routine and will communicate with the owner by providing updates and notifying them of any concerns while they are away.

About: I grew up with animals and have always had a deep love for them. I’ve been caring for pets for years and have extensive experience with both dogs and cats.

I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I do everything I can to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

I’m very communicative and will keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and loved. I can promise they’ll be treated like one of my own (and definitely spoiled)! 🐾 Pet care is naturally part of my everyday life!

Whether they love to cuddle on the couch, sleep in bed, or just be close to someone, they’ll have lots of companionship and won’t spend much time alone. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and will make sure they feel like part of the family. I believe every pet deserves to be treated with love, respect, and patience. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide care that’s tailored specifically to them. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to keep them happy, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in caring hands.
“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!”
“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!”

About: I enjoy playing and spending time with animals! My abilities extend from being able to go on long walks with energetic dogs, to simply providing comfort and affection to quiet cats. With my family owning many different rescue animals of our own, I have a lot of experience in caring and cleaning up after pets. I am currently on summer break, so I am able to stop by at almost any hour of any day! I have my own car, and should be free for most weeks of summer! For my cats I feed them wet food every night and scoop their litter. Alongside the litter, I often clean, sweep, and sometimes mop if needed for accidents. As for my dog, I try to walk him daily, and play with him every day during his hyper moods. We also try to visit the dog park often! I do have some experience in crafting together specialized meals for specific dietary needs.
About: I AM A CERTIFIED PET TRAINER.... I have TONS of energy for walking dogs. Average dogs walks with me are anywhere from 1/2 a mile to 2 miles and you will be able to see our route on Strava. I have had and taken care of dogs over the years and love them all! From therapy animals I have trained with gentleness and slow walks to fast walking/slow jog dogs! Sometimes all dogs need a little time outside to enjoy. I can walk dogs or do doggy drop in visits or basic command dog training. You can get a hold of me through Rover and I can check my availability that week. I will let you know in a 24 hour notice I can walk or not. Dogs are need the outdoors to run and play just like us so the more time out the better! Fist off, I AM A CERTIFIED DOG TRAINER. and I LOVE walking dogs! I’m big on one on one time with a dog especially during basic training time if you would like me for that along with drop in visits or dog walking. In other words, I won’t be holding 5 leashes on dog walks with different dogs! I prefer to walk most dogs that are active at LEAST a mile to get them in the open air and get those little doggy steps in! I do use an app that I will take a picture of at the end of the walk so you can see exactly where we went and how far! I’m in Pickerington and it’s a great spot for dog walking! (I can slow it down too and just relax and play in the yard if you have a slower, more relaxed dog) I also do cat care, fish, hamsters, you name it! Thanks!
“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: I have taken care of a vast majority of pets but mostly cats and dogs. I have watched over many dog breeds especially ones with certain medical needs I am currently an online only student so I have plenty of free time to offer clients for those pets that need it. I can make the best out of any situation. Coming into a client’s home I will always ask the routine and/or needs your pet(s) has and make sure to keep them company when they need it
“Ava was great with our dogs. She was very understanding on their needs and excitement. She provided updates and when the dogs didn’t want to walk, she still played with them. We will definitely continue to use her for any future needs.”
About: Senior experience, daily exercise, I provide lots of praise. Sometimes all dogs just need to get outside to run and play and enjoy the fresh air. Lots eye contact and one and one timel Summer and weekends my calendar is more open. I have a flexible schedule so I may work around most requests. I can offer same day booking! Let me know if you have a designated play area or a fenced in yard. Otherwise I'll walk with a leash, either way we're getting steps in!

“Alexa is awesome! She's always on time, asks if Moose or I need anything (I just had knee replacement surgery) and brushes Moose after ever walk! He's always happy to see her! She's a keeper!”
“Jaz is wonderful. She showed for me up last minute for a dog walk, and she always responds to messages promptly. You can tell she really cares about the dogs under her care as if they were her own dogs. I don’t think I could recommend anyone better!”

“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!”

“Elizabeth and her family were wonderful. She kept us updated on our Fur baby which was very helpful. It was our first time being away from home, so we were a little anxious about the process. She made it very easy for us and we will definitely use her services again! In fact I'm pretty sure that Fur baby wants a playdate!”
“This was our first time leaving Rufus anywhere overnight and he did fabulously! Karen was good to send updates and pics to assure me that Rufus was having a great time! He hit it off with Boomer and the two played all day and night. By time we got Rufus home, he was a happy, tired boy! :) We already have Karen scheduled for our next outing. Highly recommend!”
“Ashleigh is amazing. My pup settled in really well for his first stay outside of our home. She stayed in contact throughout the entire stay. I truly appreciate the love and care she provided while we were away.”
“This being my very first time using Rover. Nate & Aylissia were amazing caring for our sweet girl Gia. They communicate in a timely manner. Appreciate them doing a video meet and an in-person meet & greet. Also appreciated the pics/videos they shared of Gia. Seems she became best buds with their dog Jasper. Our fur babies are just like our children. Thank You to you both for opening up your home and giving Gia the same love and care as she receives at home. Look forward to using you all again in the future. Blessings!!”
About: My fiancée, Katrina, and I are dog lovers and own four dogs ourselves-a Bernese Mountain Dog, a Vizsla, and two Miniature Schnauzers—so we have plenty of experience with dogs big and small. We have been pet-sitting for friends and family for years and work from home so your pup will have round-the-clock company. Our house has a fully fenced backyard with a magnetic screen door so they will have access to the outside whenever they want. Our dogs also love to play with other dogs, and are very friendly and chill. We have experience with senior dogs and dogs with medical needs, so if your pet has medication needs, we can make sure your pup stays on schedule with whatever they need. I think you will quickly find that your dog becomes part of our family and we treat them as our own, and your pup will view their stay with us as a relaxing vacation and want to return again and again. One of us is always working from home, so there will never be a time when your pet is alone. We tend to be homebodies, and will schedule social events around the care of your pet. We have a fully fenced backyard and generally leave the backdoor open during the day so that the dogs can go in/out at their own leisure. We live in a quiet neighborhood so if your dog prefers to be walked, the neighborhood is self-contained, off the main road and fully sidewalked. Your dog will have full run of the house, and is even permitted to be on furniture! We also have a variety of dog beds and crates for whatever style your dog prefers to sleep or relax. And if your dog likes to sleep in bed—well I guess we can oblige :) We also live approximately 5 minutes from a dog park, so your pup can also go on a fun field trip while in our care (or if you prefer for them to stay at our house only, that's fine as well). We are also less than a mile from MedVet, so in case of any emergency, we can ensure your pet's medical needs are taken care of quickly.
“The dogs seemed to have a great time, they were exhausted when they got home from all the running around and playing they did. We will definitely use them for future stays.”
“Karla is super sweet and super flexible! She’s great with the dogs and gave lots of cute pictures and honest updates! It was my anxious puppy’s first stay with strangers as well as other dogs and they made fast friends :) she’s very responsible and has a great environment for the dogs, and shes very kind and understanding with them as well as you :) I would recommend Karla for a dog of any size, age or temperament, she did a great job and I will definitely be back!”
“Justen was very accommodating and flexible with drop off and pickup. He sent pictures and made me feel secure that my pup was safe and being cared for as if she were his own!”
“She was very patient with my Bella and kept in contact with me the whole time. We were nervous because this was our babies first boarding she kept us informed. We could really tell Tamisha really cares about every dog.”
“Joe has quickly become our go to sitter! Hank was so excited to see him and Duke! As nervous dog parents we feel like we’re actually able to relax when we’re away as we know he’s in very good hands. Thanks again for the great care you provide!”
“The dogs both loved the environment in the home and seemed comfortable and content. There were enough people present to give them the attention and care they needed. She sent frequent updates with pictures of the way they were behaving. Overall very pleased with how they did.”
“Lauren was absolutely great with my doggos! She sent me pictures and kept me updated. One of my dogs required quite a bit of medication and she was very accepting of it. I would definitely recommend Lauren if you ever need someone to care for your fur babies!”
“Shannon's one of the only people my dog (a Velcro border collie/aussie mix) has run to in excitement to hang out instead of dread in the knowledge that I'm leaving her. I travel easily knowing my Hallie is getting a mini-vacation of her own while I'm out of town 🩵🩵”
“I can’t say enough for the care that Emily gave to our Ezra. This was his first time away from home and I was a bit worried. But Emily put my mind at ease right away. I had complete confidence that he was safe and happy and even having his very own vacation. Home routine must seem a bit boring to him now! I guess we’ll just have to take another vacation so he can come back for more. We would very highly recommend Emily and will certainly choose her again. Love all of the updates and pix she took time to do! 🐶❤️Five stars ⭐️ all the way❣️”
“Amy was absolutely wonderful and accommodating. She allowed extra time for pickup when our flight got in late. She kept us updated and sent pictures of Blue throughout his stay. I will definitely book with Amy again!”
“I always had great experience with Kyla. She is amazing and Flash comes home always happy. I have been working with Kyla for last few years. She responds on time and always communicates on time which is very good”
“Laura was a great pet sitter and took such good care of my baby. I was in the process of moving and she kept my dog for a couple of days so that I could focus on a move, which was so helpful. She’s so friendly very communicative and Reese was very happy at her home.”
“Jaz was the perfect sitter! Had to book extremely late and at an unfortunate time (don’t be like me) because the sitter I had flaked last minute. My dog was comfortable with her within the first hour! She’s extremely professional and an all-around great person. I’d definitely book again!”
