“Andrew was so responsive and friendly. Diesel felt at home in their home right away! They welcomed him with open arms like a member of their family. We were so glad to find a sitter like Andrew. Diesel was safe and happy with Andrew’s adorable dogs and kids. We could enjoy our vacation completely knowing our pup was in great hands!”
“Cindy was great! I got a ton of pictures everyday, I could see how happy Cucu was with her. She replied to all my messages right away and was everything I needed and wanted. Cucu will definitely be staying with her again!”
“We have a 8 month old dog who had a blast with Benthany and her husband! When we arrived she had 4 dogs waiting happily to play with our puppy. They even have a backyard for her to run free. She had so much fun that she slept the entire next day. Our puppy sometimes gets lonely because of how spoiled she is and they even let her out of the cage and layed with her on the couch in the middle of the night to comfort her. They were incredible and so welcoming. Anytime we need this service again we will be using them! Thanks so much!”
“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+++”
“It’s the second time we leave our 2 dogs with Liz Marie and her family. They take such a good care of them. She keeps me updated daily with pictures and messages. We’ve tried another person once when she wasn’t available and it was not the same, really. We totally recommend her ❤️”
“Brittany and her family are wonderful. I never have to worry when Benny spends time with them at their house because I know he is receiving just as much love and attention (if not more!) there as he would at home. :)”
“Our dog was so happy staying with this lovely family! They treated him like their own, sent pictures often and were incredibly communicative. We’d definitely entrust our dog with them again!”
“Lauren was great! Libby felt right at home and settled in really quickly. The huge fenced in back yard was definitely a plus and libby loved hanging out back there. We really appreciated how communicative and responsive Lauren was and we will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Kathryn is wonderful! Our dog Lux, had an amazing time at “camp” while we visited family. Communication was spectacular, she kept us up to date on our girls daily activities and sent lots of pictures. Lux can’t wait to visit again!”
“Would definitely recommend! Michele is so sweet and took great care of my olive. Lots of walks, sent lots of pictures. My dog is pretty shy but the moment she met Michele she loved her :)”
“Maolin was the best and took such good care of Avery! She sent daily updates of their adventures on walks and to the dog park. With her we knew our pup was safe and happy over a long trip out of town!”
“Tom was amazing! I can say enough great things about my dogs stay. It was a quick weekend trip, but we got lots of updates and pictures of my dog. When I went to pick my dog up, he didn’t want to leave!”
About: I have recently experienced the loss of my own pets. Im not quite ready to get any new pets, but as an animal lover and dog enthusiast there is something missing greatly in my heart. I am eager to utilize my free time to care for your pets. If you or someone you know requires pet-sitting services for a weekend or an extended vacation, please do not hesitate to contact me. This is a new endeavor, and I am uncertain about its duration, but I am committed to providing the same level of care that I gave to my own pets, ensuring your peace of mind while you are away. Please message me if you are interested or know someone who is. 🐶🐱 I am good to take on puppies or senior dogs that require additional care or medicine. I do have a full time job, but am able to be remote. I would glad stay at anyone’s home to sit the pets and add them into my daily routine as I did with my own dogs. Let them out, feed them, walk them, play with them, cuddle them, and ensure they know they will be taken care of under my watch. I can easily take on a crate in my home. I do not have a yard, so I would need to walk them on a leash for them to use the bathroom. Apartment dogs will be great to watch in my home, as they would be use to that atmosphere!
“My dog stayed for one night. First time away from home and I received so many pictures and they made me feel so comfortable to trust them with my dog. And he looks like he had a ton of fun with his pals there. Thank you!”
“Amy and her family are amazing with our boy kitty Jade. He was recently diagnosed with a stress disorder but with her updates we knew he was as happy and relaxed as could be. He’s so loved and well cared for by them that we know he’s in the safest hands he could be while we’re away. ❤️”

“Shelby once again took amazing care of our two kitties over the holiday! We got updates and photos from each visit, and we appreciate how she takes the time to really play with them each drop in.”
“Shelly did a fabulous job taking care of our cat. She came as scheduled, checked in with me each visit to let me know how our pet was doing and update us on anything needed. She offered to care for plants or get mail if we needed. Shelly was flexible and we are so appreciative of her willingness to add a check-in when we decided to extend our trip an extra day. We will definitely be reaching out to Shelly for our next trip!”
“Thank you very much Lacey, Mika was very glad to have you come and take care of her and so was I. You gave me great peace of mind, knowing that you were there and that you two bonded. I’m very very grateful for your support during this time so I could come see my family. Wishing you very well”
“With some treats and patience Cindy was able to get our 9 year old very shy kitty to come out and spend time with her during drop in visits! Highly recommend her for anyone with a kitty. It gave me so much peace of mind to get photos of him and know someone was giving him love while we were gone.”
“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!”
“So grateful I found Beth! Even on short notice, she suggested a Meet & Greet to make sure she understood all instructions, where items were placed, etc. for my cats' drop-in visits. Sent Rover Cards with updates and pictures. Even my cat who is timid of new people came out from hiding during the visits. Will definitely book again!”
“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.”
“I was able to book Vanessa very last minute to take care of my cat and she was very reliable and communicative while I was away. I highly recommend her!”
“Jen did a fantastic job again, and this time we had a new kitten! She listened to special instructions and even let us know when our thermostat wasn’t working properly while we were gone! Jen is the BEST!”
“I’m a repeat customer of Abby. Somehow she’s able to capture the cutest photos of my cat Tobi that I never could. Tobi trusted Abby quickly. You know your pet will be in good hands with her. Thanks Abby!”
“Jerrica provided care for our two cats several times over the past year, and we have been extremely pleased with her services. She communicates well, confirms details for special needs before appointments and sends photos during visits. Her caring is obvious, as she messaged me to ask about the health of one of our kitties between schedule appointments. We trust Jerrica and will absolutely book her in the future.”
“Kaylee was wonderful with our boy Lukas. It was a first time we ever left him home while out of town. Kaylee was thorough in communicating and did a great job keeping Lukas on schedule with walks and meals. Knowing Kaylee was reliable gave us security and peace of mind.”
“Sherry was fantastic and proactive! Charlie loved her visits every day, and she kept me informed on him! She did well with his medication and gave him all the love he needed while we were away!”
“Tia was great with my puppy. She let her out to potty and played with her. I felt very at ease knowing my puppy was well cared for with Tia. I love the pictures she sent of my puppy. I will definitely be using Tia again. Highly recommended her.”
“Emma was amazing with my cat, Toast! She was communicative, reliable, and even stayed extra some nights to give him more cuddles and attention. I felt completely comfortable trusting her with my home and pet, and I'd definitely recommend her to others.”

I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, as well as mobility, hearing, and visual imparments. I specialize in hyper, anxious, and reactive dogs. I also have a passion for socialization and confidence building. I am first aid and CPR certified for dogs and cats. I also have experience in oral medication administration. I currently work Monday-Friday 9pm-5am I am available in the early mornings 6-8 am and evenings 4-8 pm for drop ins and walks.

About: Hi! I’m Gabi, and I’m a lifelong animal lover who genuinely enjoys getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have a Labradoodle of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet like family. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—whether that means walks, playtime, meals, medications, extra snuggles, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I know some pets warm up immediately while others need a little more time and space, and I’m comfortable letting them set the pace. I work in healthcare, so being responsible, detail-oriented, and dependable is a huge part of who I am. I’ll always make sure you know how your pet is doing and will happily send plenty of pictures and updates while they’re in my care. My goal is for you to be able to relax knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and getting lots of attention while you’re away. ❤️ I work a rotating schedule in healthcare, so my availability varies from week to week rather than following a traditional Monday–Friday routine. The plus side is that I often have weekdays and other times available when many people are at work! I receive my work schedule in advance, so I’m able to plan pet care around it and will always be upfront about my availability before accepting a booking. On my days off, I have plenty of flexibility for drop-ins, walks, and spending quality time with your pets. I’m also happy to work with you ahead of time for upcoming trips or pet care needs. I do my best to keep every pet’s routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, potty, and care instructions closely, and I’m happy to adjust to each pet’s individual personality and needs. In a client’s home, I respect both your pet’s routine and your space. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and snuggles if they want them, while also giving more independent pets their space. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing how they’re doing while you’re away. If I’m caring for a pet in my home, I focus on providing a safe, calm, and comfortable environment and making sure they have plenty of attention and supervision. I always want pets in my care to feel like they’re being treated as part of the family.
About: I've been a cat owner and animal lover my entire life, giving me firsthand experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a current pug and cat parent, I understand the importance of providing pets with a safe, loving, and reliable environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and am committed to ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

“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.

About: We’ve grown up with dogs in our homes and have owned dogs for nearly 10 years now. We provide for all of their care, and have experienced that care from puppyhood through late adulthood. We have experience housebreaking, crate training, behavioral training, and trick/skills training. Our oldest dog, Chloe, has also experienced double CCL surgeries, so we also have experience with rehabilitation, medication issuance, and emotional support during healing. We’ve dog sat for multiple of our friends dogs who have special feeding schedules and needs that we've been able to maintain while they are with us. Given our experience, we are comfortable and confident to provide your dog with a safe and caring environment, where their needs can be met and they can have fun while you're away, playing with our dogs both in our home and in our fenced in back yard. We both work full time from home and care for our two dogs throughout the day, so your dogs will have non-stop supervision, socialization, and 2 other dogs to keep them company for their entire stay. We have two dogs currently that we have had for 9 and 3 years, that get along great with other dogs with experiences in other Rover's homes, time at The Wag (Dog Park & Bar near Grandview), having spent time at Doggy Daycares, and countless playdates with our friends' dogs through the years. We have a fenced in backyard where the dogs can play and have fun. We live in a quiet neighborhood with a large house for the dogs to run and play throughout the day. There is manmade ponds in our neighborhood with walking trails for when everyone wants to go on a walk.
“Very last minute had availability for us and overall great experience! Great and fast communication and updates with pictures. Will definitely book again ❤️”
“Cindy was great! Communicated and was very flexible with pick up and drop off. Sent pics and took great care of our dog Penny. We will continue to use Cindy in the future for our girl!”
“Thank you for taking care of our pup and the daily updates. Chad and Cara were great communicating with us regarding Buddys stay and meeting his daily medication needs. Seemed like they had an easier time/merhod of giving Buddy his med than we did. Could not be thankful enough!!”
“Katie was extremely professional and we knew our fur baby was in good hands. We only needed day care for a quick trip in town but she's the first person we'll call if we have needs in Columbus again. 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.”
“Shanelle was great with my senior dog Remi! Remi can be a little slow to warm up and Shanelle (and her dog Ray) respected her boundaries as she was getting comfortable during her stay. I loved the photo updates while Remi was staying there, as well as the clear and concise communication from Shanelle. I’ll be booking with her again! :)”
About: I have a strong passion for animals especially dogs. I have an extreme level of patience with animals and feel that they deserve to be spoiled with love and attention. I lost my best friend/my heart February 17, 2022 Jaylo, my female boxer mix. My girl was 14 years 7 months 1 week old. Jaylo fought diabetes the last 3 years of her life which required a strict healthy diet and routine including insulin shots 2x a daily and additional medication unrelated to her diabetes. Overtime Jaylo did lose her eye sight and was blind for the last 3 years of her life also. I feel strongly to protect and nurture each animal. They give us priceless amount of love, attention, company and loyalty. I will be sure to treat your animal like it is mine - gentle, friendly, loving and fun. I can't wait to meet your pet! :-) I work full-time from my residence day time hours currently M-F. My schedule is expected to change in the coming months (I will be sure to update) however, currently I am available for dog walking in the evenings after 6:15pm. I am available for dog sitting Friday and Saturday evenings also available after 6:15pm. I reside in a 2BR 1BA apartment. My unit sits along side a large patch of grass that I spent hours each day walking my female boxer I lost 02/17/22. I live on the bottom floor where the concrete slab runs right into the grass area on the opposite side of the parking lot which is alot safer and easily available to bring your animal in/out for potty breaks and to stretch his/her legs on frequent walks. Animals are family and welcome to get on furniture. I will provide prompt updates on your pet also :-)

About: I love pets!! My kids make fun of me because I would likely have a zoo if I had enough time and resources. So, since I can’t love on all them as my own, let me temporarily love on yours while you are away. I currently own 2 Shiba Inus named Murray and Mira, who are extremely friendly with other dogs, and 2 cats who think they are dogs. I am constantly pet sitting for my friends and neighbors. From my girlfriend and her diabetic cat to my buddy with a rambunctious Aussie to the rescue foster who is scared of her own shadow. These are just some examples of my experiences caring for pets. I have a nice, fenced yard in a safe neighborhood and a welcoming home to accommodate pet sitting as needed. Help me fund my own time away and/or building a fund for my next furry family member. ;) I currently work from home and have flexible schedule. I prefer in home boarding during weekdays, but could do in home care if within 10 minutes driving or on weekends. I am open minded to your care needs. I typically walk 3 miles a day, so I’m happy to go on a nice walk with your best friend.
About: I currently manage a pet care boarding and daycare facility, so taking care of animals is a big part of my everyday life. I’ve worked with all kinds of animals, from energetic puppies who need structure and patience to senior pets who need a little extra attention and care. I’m comfortable giving medications (oral and diabetic injections), following detailed routines, and getting to know each pet’s individual personality. Working in pet care has taught me how important it is to pay attention to the little things. I’m used to noticing when a pet is acting differently, figuring out what they need, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I also know how important communication is, so I like to keep owners updated with pictures and messages so they know how their pets are doing. Whether your pet needs a long walk, some extra playtime, meds, or just someone to hang out with them, I’m happy to give them the same patience and attention I’d want someone to give my own pets! :) I currently work at a pet care facility, so caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. Outside of my shifts, I’m available to provide pet sitting and drop-in visits, which allows me to stay flexible while continuing to do something I love. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, playtime, and medication instructions exactly as provided, and I make sure to give extra attention to their favorite spots and habits—whether that’s a window perch, a certain toy, or a bedtime routine. I keep the home tidy, refresh food and water regularly, and make sure the litter box (or yard for dogs) is clean and comfortable. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel connected while they’re away.

About: I love dogs! I’ve always loved them. When i got my first dog at 8 I was terrified. I would scream and jump on the toilet. She wasn’t even the size of my backpack lol. As the years went on I grew not only a pet but a sister! She was there for me even when i didn’t think i needed her. I want to give your pet the same love I gave to her! Right now i have a mini golden doodle. She is a very special dog lol. She gets on my nerves but i wouldn’t trade her for anything. She’s always doing different things to keep me on my toes. I would make sure that your dog is properly cared for. Whether that is playing fetch with them or taking them for a walk. I live in an apartment that has a huge field. They will get the proper exercise for sure. I love to run with them.

I am first aid and CPR certified for dogs and cats. I always have an extra slip leash and break stick (a tool used to help safely open a dog's mouth in the event of a bite) on me in case of emergencies. I have two friendly dogs who are always looking for new friends, if your dog would benefit from the company.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have years of experience caring for dogs and cats for family and friends. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and following each pet’s individual routine. I know every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable — whether that means lots of play and attention or giving a shy pet time to warm up to me. I’m very attentive to instructions and will treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give my own. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates during visits so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing! I have a flexible weekly schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly so my availability is always as accurate as possible. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever I can, and I’ll always communicate clearly about scheduling. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’ll follow their normal routine and your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any household rules. I’m careful about keeping doors, gates, and leashes secure, and I’ll always supervise your pet appropriately. I also understand how important it is to trust someone in your home. I’ll treat your space with respect, clean up after your pet, and make sure everything is left the way I found it. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away.
“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!”
About: I've been a dog owner and animal lover my entire life, giving me firsthand experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a current pug and cat parent, I understand the importance of providing pets with a safe, loving, and reliable environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and am committed to ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care fits well into my current schedule. I work a fulltime professional position during the weekdays, which allows me to provide pet care services during evenings, weekends, and select weekdays depending on the pet's needs. I'm organized, reliable, and committed to ensuring pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. We live in a community with walking paths and a couple of ponds that we enjoy walking to with our pups. I will be happy to walk yours through the neighborhood as well. As a lifelong dog owner and current pug and cat parent, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as a member of my own family.
About: I’ve dog-sat (and house-sat) for friends for a while, and nothing brings me more joy than seeing happy dogs! I love taking them for long walks or runs, spending the day playing with them, and of course giving them plenty of hugs and pets! ❤️🐶 I’m currently working full-time, so during the week I’m available to go on short walks during lunch and make sure your dog is fed and can use the bathroom. I can spend time with them in the evenings as well, and I’m also available for house sitting to keep them company while you’re away! I don’t have any pets of my own at home, but I’ve had plenty of experience caring for pets of friends and family members. I like taking them for walks through neighborhoods or parks where they can meet other dogs or people and see new places!

“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+++”
“Chad and Cara were so easy to work with! This is the first time I left my dog with anyone other than family, and they couldn’t be more patient with my questions. Highly responsive communication. They sent daily pictures and updates and Boomer was treated like family!”
“Emily responded quickly, sent pics of my boys playing in the yard. She said they didn't eat much the first day but that's to be expected because they get anxious being left behind. But having boarded my dog tigger before he's usually anxious for days after being picked up and didn't have that this time, so that tells me a lot. ”
“It’s the second time we leave our 2 dogs with Liz Marie and her family. They take such a good care of them. She keeps me updated daily with pictures and messages. We’ve tried another person once when she wasn’t available and it was not the same, really. We totally recommend her ❤️”
“Our dog was so happy staying with this lovely family! They treated him like their own, sent pictures often and were incredibly communicative. We’d definitely entrust our dog with them again!”
“Nicole is wonderful! She was super responsive and available for us in a pinch last minute twice. She had a great fenced yard and a doggie pal for my dog to play with. And even better, she sent photos of how absolutely worn out she got my high-energy Golden, between all that and a trip to the dog park. Thank you Nicole 😁”
“Emily was nothing short of phenomenal. I was in a tough spot when my Australian Shepherd named Wendle came down with a cough that needed treated with antibiotics and steroids 2 days before I was scheduled to leave the country on vacation for 10 days. With the alternative being to leave him in isolation at boarding for the entire time or canceling the trip, I was scrambling to find a sitter last minute and we really lucked out connecting with Emily here. She was amazing with Wendle, treating him as her own and I know he loved every minute of his own vacation with her. Emily kept me updated with detailed messages and pictures of Wendle during my trip and had no issues with giving him his medication and taking him on walks and giving him all the attention he needed. I can’t thank her enough for taking in Wendle at the last minute and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter in the future.”
“Kathryn is wonderful! Our dog Lux, had an amazing time at “camp” while we visited family. Communication was spectacular, she kept us up to date on our girls daily activities and sent lots of pictures. Lux can’t wait to visit again!”
“Maolin was the best and took such good care of Avery! She sent daily updates of their adventures on walks and to the dog park. With her we knew our pup was safe and happy over a long trip out of town!”
“Tom was amazing! I can say enough great things about my dogs stay. It was a quick weekend trip, but we got lots of updates and pictures of my dog. When I went to pick my dog up, he didn’t want to leave!”
About: I have recently experienced the loss of my own pets. Im not quite ready to get any new pets, but as an animal lover and dog enthusiast there is something missing greatly in my heart. I am eager to utilize my free time to care for your pets. If you or someone you know requires pet-sitting services for a weekend or an extended vacation, please do not hesitate to contact me. This is a new endeavor, and I am uncertain about its duration, but I am committed to providing the same level of care that I gave to my own pets, ensuring your peace of mind while you are away. Please message me if you are interested or know someone who is. 🐶🐱 I am good to take on puppies or senior dogs that require additional care or medicine. I do have a full time job, but am able to be remote. I would glad stay at anyone’s home to sit the pets and add them into my daily routine as I did with my own dogs. Let them out, feed them, walk them, play with them, cuddle them, and ensure they know they will be taken care of under my watch. I can easily take on a crate in my home. I do not have a yard, so I would need to walk them on a leash for them to use the bathroom. Apartment dogs will be great to watch in my home, as they would be use to that atmosphere!
“My dog stayed for one night. First time away from home and I received so many pictures and they made me feel so comfortable to trust them with my dog. And he looks like he had a ton of fun with his pals there. Thank you!”
“Malerie and Blake took great care of our pup Carl while we were out of town for an overnight trip. We got pictures and plenty of check-ins, and he seemed super happy when we picked him up. Very flexible and easy to communicate with, which we appreciate a lot! Would definitely choose them again. Thank you!”
“Rachel is a very caring sitter. Our two dogs were very nervous with their first time away from us and had multiple accidents, and she handled it kindly. She’s an awesome option and an avid pet lover.”
“I could not have asked for a better dog sitting experience. I have an older dog and I was very selective about who I left him with on my first vacation away from him. Ellen sent me regular updates and pictures so I could see how he was doing. Her communication was excellent. She accommodated my drop off and pick up times. When she had a request to keep another dog for a couple of days in the middle of my dog’s stay, she contacted me to ask if that would be alright. It seems my dog was very comfortable with her at her place, and I am very grateful for that.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have taken care of many family members animals a lot. I've had my dog now for almost 2 years, he has pretty bad separation anxiety. My last dog I had for 5 years so I've had long time experience with my own animals as well. I've also had cats plenty of times too. This has taught me to be patient and attentive to dogs who may need extra reassurance, structure, and time to feel comfortable. I’m really comfortable with dogs and walking, feeding, playing, taking potty breaks, and giving dogs plenty of attention. I work 7-4 and my off says are Thursday and Saturday. I can watch anytime on my off says or throughout the week if possible. I come home on my breaks since i live right next door to where I work. I can only watch at my place currently since I do not have transportation. I promise the safety of you're animals I know how important it is since I have a pup of my own.
