“Kimberly and her family were so good to our little Molly that I was worried she wouldn’t want to come home. It was a true blessing finding Kimberly on Rover. I hope she has room for her the next time I need a dog border. Thank you so very much Kimberly.”
“Rose was AMAZING! This was the first time I’ve ever dropped my pup off at someone’s house and I was so emotional about it. But she sent so many pictures and videos and made Athena so comfortable and happy at her house. Communication was fantastic before boarding and during. I honestly can’t praise her enough for everything she did. 10/10 recommend for your dogs needs!!”
“Karen is AMAZING!! She made Faith feel right at home (and us too!) She is patient, kind and oozes positivity. Her energy and attitude set the tone for "the pack". Her home is warm and welcoming with plenty of room and options to allow the pups to feel comfortable and seem Up for success both inside and out. We so appreciated the pics and updates. It really helped us feel at ease and confident that Faith was in the best of hands! Faith loved it here. Well definitely be back!”
“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!!!”
“Will be using Dana again. Our 4 year old German Shepherd had a blast there with Dana’s family and other dogs. She responds quickly to messages and sends plenty of pictures. Would recommend to anyone.”
“Lauren took great care of Zuri! She has a great space for dogs, handled medications/other needs well, was flexible with a last-minute booking, and sent frequent updates and pictures. We will definitely be back in the future!”
“Madison and her sister were so great with our boys! Great back yard and we loved all the picture updates! No doubt in our minds that they were very loved and taken care of during our week vacation. So happy our boys now have a ‘home away from home’ :)”
“Stacey and her family’s home was a perfect stay for Moki Marie. She took walks and had lots of play time with the kids and snuggle time with the whole family. Plus, my feeding directions were followed which is important for Moki’s tummy. If you want your dog loved and cared for with extra attention, I highly recommend Stacey and Bruce and their family!!!! 🥰”
“Could not have asked for a better experience for Cooper! Loved the photos and updates. I could tell he was happy and did not worry about him and really enjoyed my trip. She welcomed him as part of her family!”
“Great communication and provided regular updates. Oreo seemed very happy & relaxed upon pickup after the stay. Would definitely book with Amber again in the future.”
“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!”
About: Hi I’m Zoë! I love all animals, big and small and have been around them my whole life. >I have owned many different types of animals: dogs, cats, fish, a ferret, guinea pigs, a hedgehog, ect... >I have experience with a spectrum of ages, sizes, and breeds of dogs. I am good with puppies in training, as well as senior dogs who need accommodations. >Right now I have a dog (Bailey, 3), a farm cat, a fish, and also a flock of ducks. >I also offer yard clean up services and homemade dogfood! >I have been working for Rover since 2023 after I graduated from OSU >I moved to Fairfield County in 2024 I currently work part time at a greenhouse and run my own business. Most of my days are very flexible and I am open to new short and long term clients! On Visits: I’m down stop in and visit your dog, or take them out on a walk in the yard or neighborhood. Feeding, playing, walking, trick training, giving medicine, and having hang time are all in my comfort zone. I can follow specific directions and trust my gut instincts. I love all dogs, big and small. They all have different personalities and I like to take my time to learn a dog and their preferences and tendencies. I always bring a treat with me on meet and greets if allowed, and I understand dog behavior enough to interpret their mood. For Dog Boarding: At my house, we have baby gates to separate the floors of the house, the cat stays upstairs most of the time. I like to have dogs meet on leashes or through a gate, I never leave unfamiliar dogs alone together, and my house is very dog friendly, with hardwood and linoleum and not much floor clutter. Outside, my dog is off leash trained (I know I am spoiled), but all other dogs I keep on a leash if we are outside or on an 100ft rope when we take walks through the field.
“Katie was great! She was able to watch our Bichon even though it was super short notice. When we arrived to pick him up next day we found him cuddling on the couch getting all the attention he could have ever wanted. We definitely recommend her services and we will definitely ask her to watch him again! Thanks so much!”
“Ashliegh was wonderful with our puppy. It had been awhile since I had used Rover since our previous dog had passed 4 years ago but we could not have had a better experience. Ashliegh was great with communication and so kind and sweet. 🥰”
“Alexandria did an excellent job with my dog, Pluto! She was very attentive and made me feel very comfortable keeping him! I absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter!”
“Ellen was an awesome sitter for Dublin! Lots of pics, videos and updates. She watched another dog while Dublin was staying with her and was very good about coordinating a meet and greet beforehand. Definitely recommend Ellen! 😊”
“Mary was amazing. My dog Thyon is a sweet but skittish boy. Since making a big move from the country to the city, he has suffered from anxiety which he needed to be medicated for. I tried traditional boarding facilities however they were not a good fit. There were too many loud noises and he always came home stressed and nervous. Mary provided a wonderful environment. Not only was he able to quickly adapt and feel comfortable, but he seemed to thrived there. He was running in the yard with her dog Elle. Which he has not done since we moved months ago. I have finally found a place where I am comfortable to leave my boy and know he’s being well cared for. Thanks Mary!”
“Hallie was awesome with our dog for a long weekend trip. She has a nice clean home with a fenced in yard. We felt really comfortable the whole time and did not worry about Foss at all. He did great with her pups and it’s obvious she cares so much about our dog’s well-being which is exactly what we want when leaving our dog with someone. She was quick to respond to all of our messages, too.”

“Brianna was amazing! She took great care of our dog while we were gone. She was always easy to reach and communicate with, and promptly responded to any questions we had. She sent us videos and photos while we were away and our dog looked so happy in all of them. I would highly recommend her, and we will definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and bring both experience and genuine care to every pet I watch. I was raised on a farm surrounded by animals, and I’ve owned dogs for most of my life, including a small dog I cared for over 16 years. In the last 5 years we have added 2 cats to our pack and an 8-month-old Golden Retriever puppy. I’m very comfortable with puppy energy, routines, and reinforcement of basic training. I also work as an intervention specialist at Bridgeway Academy, which has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to understand behavior — skills that translate naturally to animal care. I have two years of pet sitting experience for family and friends and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Charity is wonderful! She treats my boys (Alvin, Simon & Theodore) like they are her own, which I truly appreciate. These cats are my support animals, and I want all the best for them when I have to be away, and she is a big big help to me!”
About: I cared for my own two cats, so I understand how important it is to keep cats comfortable, safe, and on their routine. I have experience with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and paying attention to each cat’s unique personality. I’m patient, gentle, and respectful of cats who may be shy or independent. I’ll treat your cat like my own and make sure they feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away.

“Madison was wonderful and accommodating with our cats' needs and quirks. We appreciated her communication and the pictures she left with each visit, and we're sure our cats appreciated the attention she offered with play and pets. We felt both our cats and our home were in good hands with Madison.”
“Madie was awesome! Accommodated a last minute request and provided great communication the entire time I was away. Would definitely use her services again.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats since I was a child. I have helped my girlfriend train our current dog which is a bernedoodle. He knows how to sit, shake, go to his pillow, and he is currently learning to roll over. I currently have a Doberman at my parents house that I help take care of while I am home. I am currently a dental student at Ohio state and I am in school from 7:30-4:00 daily but the weekends I am free. Some days I will finish before 4:00 but that depends on the week. I feed and water my current dogs and cats every morning and every evening. They get treats throughout the day when they exhibit good behavior and listening skills so they know that is a positive thing to keep doing it.
“She was great with my dog! She was always on time and took pictures of my baby so I could see her when I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone! By the pictures I could tell Jessie love her too! Jessie has to take medicine every day and she made sure Jessie took her medicine.”

“Sam loves spending time with Rosemarie. When we pull up, it's like he knows where he is at. He runs to the door every time. Rose has been very reliable and up front about her availability, which is really important to me. I get the cutest pictures of Samuel on our cards after I pick him up. You can tell he enjoys himself when he's there. The most important thing to me is how much they both care about Sam. It's been a great relationship so far. Sam is in good hands with Rosemarie and that peace of mind is priceless.”
“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.”

About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life and have always played a large part in taking care of them. With my love of pets I became a Veterinary Technician and I've worked in the Veterinary field for over 16 years. I've worked in general practice and emergency. Along with working in Vet Med I have always done petsitting. I have also taken care of rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets and a bearded dragon!

I am available any time satrudays, sundays, and wednesdays. And I am available Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays before 8am and after 6pm. I like to keep your pet's needs in mind. If they are a little more timid, then I will go slow and take the time for them to trust me. If they are active and ready to go, then we will have a fun time playing right off the bat. I will make sure I follow any directions or care instructions you leave for your pet. And I will always love and treat your pet like it is my own!
“Christy was great! We booked her while we were passing through town for a few days. Immediately I knew Zoey would gravitate toward her cheerful yet calm energy. She sent me 3 photos and gave a thorough review of what Zoey enjoyed doing during her stay. Zoey apparently was a social butterfly, mingling with kittens, cats, dogs and even pumpkins during her stay. She warmed up to her not long after we left. I felt at ease knowing Christy fosters dogs from a local rescue, but I felt even better when she correctly read Zoey’s body language upon meeting her of being nervous about being in a new place. She let Zoey come to her, rather than overwhelming her by approaching her and assured me she would introduce her three dogs gradually once Zoey was feeling a little less shy. Many people love dogs, but few genuinely understand dogs the way she does.”

About: Experience & Philosophy With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for a diverse array of animals—from dogs and cats to reptiles and small exotics—I bring a deep, foundational understanding of animal behavior and needs to every walk. This extensive background, enriched by my work with animal foster groups, has honed my ability to read subtle cues and adapt to each pet's unique personality and comfort level. I don't just see a walk as a routine task; I view it as a vital opportunity for enrichment, exercise, and building a positive connection. My Approach: Patience & Partnership My core focus is on fostering trust—both with your pet and with you. I believe patience is the cornerstone of a great relationship, so I take the time to let shy or anxious dogs warm up at their own pace, using calm, positive reinforcement. For you, the owner, this means consistent, clear communication and detailed updates, so you always feel confident and connected while you're apart. Your peace of mind and your pet's genuine comfort are my top priorities, ensuring every outing is safe, enjoyable, and tailored to your specific expectations. I am self-employed and work from home. Because of this I maintain my own schedule, which means your pets can be my priority when I am with them. My home is an active and engaging space, perfectly suited for dogs who thrive with plenty of stimulation and exercise. As the proud owner of a high-energy herding dog, I have firsthand experience in meeting the needs of active breeds. Our daily life is built around structured enrichment and ample physical activity, from puzzle games and training sessions to long, adventurous walks and play. Your dog won't just be staying with me—they’ll be joining a fun, dynamic routine that keeps their body and mind happily engaged. Your pet’s safety and comfort are paramount. I maintain a clean, secure, and pet-proofed home to ensure a stress-free environment. With a resident expert in canine energy, I am exceptionally attentive to reading play styles and ensuring all interactions are positive and supervised. If your dog loves to play and learn, they will fit right into our active and loving household.
About: Since I was 13 I was walking dogs, pet sitting, caring for animals of all sorts and now that im an adult I decided to get on a professional website. (Will be free for dog walking and check ins on thurs,fri,sat, and sun from 3pm-10 pm days and hours may change due to attending university) Mostly will be doing dog walking and will only be walking 1 dog at a time unless said dogs are known to get along and be good with one another. Incase I ever do in home care I have a fenced in yard +hard dog food, filtered water, dog doo bags (please provide leashes). I also have 1 very friendly large dog and a cat who gets along well with dogs but not other cats.
About: I have had dogs my whole life. My favorite thing to do with them is play and walk and let them enjoy nature! I just recently adopted a rescue puppy that is 4 months old and have a 13 year old senior dog. I love dogs of all ages and energy levels! I am a stay at home mom and both of my kids are in school during the day. I’m looking to find some furry friends to spend my day with. I treat my dogs like I treat my kids and make sure they’re cared for. We play, go outside, go on walks, get treats, and go to the dog park. I watch and listen to them to see how much energy they have that day.
About: Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. Friends, neighbors, and loved ones have all sought my care for many years for both their dogs and cats. Being a teacher, I love to help care for your pets when I can! I have very open availability for walks, daily care, and overnight care. I work as an elementary school teacher during the majority of the year, but I love to help care for your pets when I can! Each pet and each household is different, so catering to the needs of each pet is a priority. Following diet instructions, making sure pets get proper play and exercise time, and lots and lots of love are all priorities of mine.

“Kimberly and her family were so good to our little Molly that I was worried she wouldn’t want to come home. It was a true blessing finding Kimberly on Rover. I hope she has room for her the next time I need a dog border. Thank you so very much Kimberly.”
“Rose was AMAZING! This was the first time I’ve ever dropped my pup off at someone’s house and I was so emotional about it. But she sent so many pictures and videos and made Athena so comfortable and happy at her house. Communication was fantastic before boarding and during. I honestly can’t praise her enough for everything she did. 10/10 recommend for your dogs needs!!”
“Karen is AMAZING!! She made Faith feel right at home (and us too!) She is patient, kind and oozes positivity. Her energy and attitude set the tone for "the pack". Her home is warm and welcoming with plenty of room and options to allow the pups to feel comfortable and seem Up for success both inside and out. We so appreciated the pics and updates. It really helped us feel at ease and confident that Faith was in the best of hands! Faith loved it here. Well definitely be back!”
“Will be using Dana again. Our 4 year old German Shepherd had a blast there with Dana’s family and other dogs. She responds quickly to messages and sends plenty of pictures. Would recommend to anyone.”
“Lauren took great care of Zuri! She has a great space for dogs, handled medications/other needs well, was flexible with a last-minute booking, and sent frequent updates and pictures. We will definitely be back in the future!”
“Madison and her sister were so great with our boys! Great back yard and we loved all the picture updates! No doubt in our minds that they were very loved and taken care of during our week vacation. So happy our boys now have a ‘home away from home’ :)”
“Could not have asked for a better experience for Cooper! Loved the photos and updates. I could tell he was happy and did not worry about him and really enjoyed my trip. She welcomed him as part of her family!”
“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!”
About: Hi I’m Zoë! I love all animals, big and small and have been around them my whole life. >I have owned many different types of animals: dogs, cats, fish, a ferret, guinea pigs, a hedgehog, ect... >I have experience with a spectrum of ages, sizes, and breeds of dogs. I am good with puppies in training, as well as senior dogs who need accommodations. >Right now I have a dog (Bailey, 3), a farm cat, a fish, and also a flock of ducks. >I also offer yard clean up services and homemade dogfood! >I have been working for Rover since 2023 after I graduated from OSU >I moved to Fairfield County in 2024 I currently work part time at a greenhouse and run my own business. Most of my days are very flexible and I am open to new short and long term clients! On Visits: I’m down stop in and visit your dog, or take them out on a walk in the yard or neighborhood. Feeding, playing, walking, trick training, giving medicine, and having hang time are all in my comfort zone. I can follow specific directions and trust my gut instincts. I love all dogs, big and small. They all have different personalities and I like to take my time to learn a dog and their preferences and tendencies. I always bring a treat with me on meet and greets if allowed, and I understand dog behavior enough to interpret their mood. For Dog Boarding: At my house, we have baby gates to separate the floors of the house, the cat stays upstairs most of the time. I like to have dogs meet on leashes or through a gate, I never leave unfamiliar dogs alone together, and my house is very dog friendly, with hardwood and linoleum and not much floor clutter. Outside, my dog is off leash trained (I know I am spoiled), but all other dogs I keep on a leash if we are outside or on an 100ft rope when we take walks through the field.
“Katie was great! She was able to watch our Bichon even though it was super short notice. When we arrived to pick him up next day we found him cuddling on the couch getting all the attention he could have ever wanted. We definitely recommend her services and we will definitely ask her to watch him again! Thanks so much!”
“Ashliegh was wonderful with our puppy. It had been awhile since I had used Rover since our previous dog had passed 4 years ago but we could not have had a better experience. Ashliegh was great with communication and so kind and sweet. 🥰”
“Alexandria did an excellent job with my dog, Pluto! She was very attentive and made me feel very comfortable keeping him! I absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter!”
“As always, Kathy is so very diligent with updates and communication. These days, our Ella can get very down when we’re away from her - not finishing her food, using the bathroom etc. Ella is forever comfortable with Kathy and is always tuckered for the days following a stay with her. Her yard is absolutely perfect, her home is very clean and she always welcomes with open arms!”
“Ellen was an awesome sitter for Dublin! Lots of pics, videos and updates. She watched another dog while Dublin was staying with her and was very good about coordinating a meet and greet beforehand. Definitely recommend Ellen! 😊”
“Mary was amazing. My dog Thyon is a sweet but skittish boy. Since making a big move from the country to the city, he has suffered from anxiety which he needed to be medicated for. I tried traditional boarding facilities however they were not a good fit. There were too many loud noises and he always came home stressed and nervous. Mary provided a wonderful environment. Not only was he able to quickly adapt and feel comfortable, but he seemed to thrived there. He was running in the yard with her dog Elle. Which he has not done since we moved months ago. I have finally found a place where I am comfortable to leave my boy and know he’s being well cared for. Thanks Mary!”
“This couple were great dog sitters for me. I didn’t have to worry about the safety of my dogs or their welfare. They sent me regular pictures which made me very happy. I think my dogs were even better behaved after being there a while than they were when I dropped them off!”
“This is the second time that my two little dogs have boarded with Laura and her family. They did a great job again taking care of our fur babies! I appreciate how careful and conscientious she is about checking in on the dogs preferences and sending lots of pictures. We will definitely book with her 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!”
“I had a phenomenal experience with Joy! She made the process so easy, sent photo updates, and really loved on Kisa while I was away. Without hesitation I would book with her again for our next trip!”
