“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.

About: Hi! My name is Grace! I am first year veterinary student at OSU. I previously at The College of Charleston in South Carolina where I majored in marine biology and worked as a veterinarian technician at a small animal clinic down there. I have had a variety of animals growing up including dogs, cats, horses, goats and chickens. I currently have two cats of my own named Goose & Duck. I have been on Rover almost 7 years now and would love to help out with your animals. It’s a great study break for me and keeps me active! I’m eager to help out with cats and dogs of all sizes. Additionally, due to my vet tech experience, I am happy to trim nails, express glands, clean ears, etc in the comfort of your own home! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my services. I look forward to meeting lots of cute and furry friends soon! I have a very flexible routine that I can easily fit your pet into! Although I am a full-time veterinary student, I feel as if that helps me manage my time even better than if I was not! I do my best to keep your pet in their normal routine to keep them happy and comfortable while you are away! This includes a normal feeding schedule and plenty of time outside!

“Pam and her husband are the absolute best! We set up a meet and greet before our trip, and my dog instantly loved them both from the start. Pam asked great questions and took detailed notes about Jaxx’s care, so I knew he would be in great hands. And they sent wonderful pictures, videos, and updates throughout our entire trip. Jaxx had a great time and I didn’t have to worry at all while I was away. Thank you!!!”

“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!”
“As a first-time pet owner, I was nervous about finding a good sitter when I went away for a long weekend, but I knew my cat Shadow was in good hands with Alda.

“Lacey was an absolute gem. From the start, very communicative and friendly. We looked forward to everyday getting pictures of our kitties enjoying treat time with her.

“Nicole was great! My dog adored her and her dog and excitedly waited by the door in the morning to go to day care while I worked for a few weeks in Manhattan Beach. She was very flexible with timing and accommodating. If I lived nearby I would book with Nicole frequently.”
“Kathie is very attentive and will treat your dog with care and compassion. I appreciate Kathie sending me updates throughout the day to put my mind at ease. I highly recommend!”

“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!”
“Shanelle and Ryan are unbelievably amazing with every aspect of dog sitting and communication. Honestly, I am so blown away by their caregiving and professionalism. Five stars isn’t enough!”
“Easy and flexible to work with, and my pup had a great stay! Fenced area is not big enough for my greyhound to run but received multiple walks throughout the day instead. Loved all the pics and updates!”
“Clark had the best the day with Sally! I am so happy I am able to leave my boy with her. She clearly made him feel right at home as he went right to play. What I love the most is that the safety I feel she is giving him and the comfort of his own home. She is offering her place so your dog still feels at home while they are away, and that feels really special. It takes a good person to be able to pull that off.”
“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!!”
“Lindsey has been absolutely amazing with my dog. She's always on top of communication and pictures and not once have I ever had to worry. My pup always looked forward to going over, to the point where if I say "Lindsey's" she would go nuts with excitement. My dog was always happy, tired, and immediately ready for bed when I pick her up, which is a true feat given she's part border collie. I recently moved away, but when I visit I know I'll be booking a day. Someone of this caliber is a true rarity and I'm so glad I found her.”
“Alec and Aishu, and their lovely dog Winnie, looked after my girl Nova beautifully. She can be a little skittish at first in unfamiliar situations, but she soon settled down and relaxed! She had an amazing time exploring, going for a long walk and playing with her new pal. I appreciated that photos were sent throughout the day.”
“We were initially apprehensive about hiring someone to take care of our beloved Shih Tzu-Yorkshire terrier mix, Nikko. However, Cindy’s exceptional service quickly put our worries to rest. She went above and beyond in every aspect of her care. Nikko had a fantastic time at Cindy’s daycare and even made some new doggie friends. Cindy kept us updated throughout the entire process, sending pictures and providing detailed updates on Nikko’s activities and well-being. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Nikko and his happiness. We are incredibly grateful to have found Cindy and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring doggy daycare provider. Thank you, Cindy, for taking such wonderful care of Nikko!”

“Thomas took great care of my pup and he had a great time. Thomas sent plenty of updates and was very communicative and quick to respond. I could tell when I picked my dog up that he had not felt stressed or anxious, which is a huge relief.”
“Will and Bibiana are the best. They have treated my puppy Nella like their own. They have helped Nella and I beyond what I could have hoped. Would recommend to anyone for the best care! Thank you guys so much for all the help!!”
“Mary was very accommodating on such short notice. I was informed by messages, pics and videos throughout day. Dogs were happy. Everything went real well. Glad there is a trusted pet lover that can lend a hand.”
“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!”

“Emily is awesome. Very helpful, flexible, friendly & trustworthy. I would recommend my friends and family to her. If you’re trying to decide on someone, I wouldn’t have any negative concerns about her. Very thankful she provides the love and attention our dog deserves. I really value how she listens to my concerns & pays attention to what’s important to me in taking care of my dog.”

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.
“Tory was great with Harper. Being such a young puppy walks were difficult at first but she gave Harper all the attention needed and was patient as she worked on her walking skills. Will definitely use again in the future!”
About: I’m currently a graduate student at The Ohio State University, and alongside my academic work, caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I’ve owned and cared for a variety of dogs of many different breeds and sizes. Growing up and into adulthood, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, and playtime. I understand how important it is to maintain your dog’s routine and make them feel comfortable while you’re away. As both a responsible graduate student and a lifelong dog owner, I bring reliability, organization, and genuine care to every visit. My goal is too make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for, and to give you peace of mind while you’re away! As a graduate student at The Ohio State University, I’m only in class for a portion of the day Monday through Thursday, which gives me consistent flexibility throughout the week. Outside of class, my schedule is structured but open, allowing me to plan pet care visits, walks, and check-ins reliably. Because my academic commitments are predictable, I’m able to maintain a steady routine and dedicate focused time to each dog I care for. Whether it’s midday walks, morning or evening visits, I have availability throughout the week and can provide dependable, attentive care. When caring for pets in other homes, I prioritize keeping their routine as normal and consistent as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any specific preferences your pet may have. My goal is to make them feel safe and comfortable in their own environment.
About: I’m a stay at home dog mom myself looking to make some extra money doing something I love! I grew up with golden retrievers and when I moved out at 18, got my first dog Cozy. He is a husky German Shepherd. I have years of experience walking dogs for family friends and know how to properly care for dogs like their family. I am a part time student at Ohio state. My only other obligations are being a wife and taking care of my 16 year step daughter which is flexible! I would care for your pet like their my own, i’m very attentive and I’m open to lots of detailed instruction I would take lots of pictures and just making sure that your best friend is as comfortable as possible.
