“This was my first time boarding my dogs and I was very worried with how they’d react being away, but Cristi was amazing! Her and her daughter are very sweet, caring and gave lots of love while looking after my girls. Cristi has a lovely home with plenty of space for the dogs, so there was no worry of them being cramped or uncomfortable. They are also great at communicating, which put me at ease while I was away. I will definitely be booking with Cristi again.”
“I used Dana for the first time and she was great! She sent pictures while I was out of town and was very responsive. Romeo loved being around her kids and the other dogs. I will definitely use her again. She took very good care of my little guy.”
“Ashleigh was wonderful with my senior dog. He is very timid and from the pictures, he seemed to be right at home with her. Made me very happy he had a safe, secure and loving place to stay while I was traveling.”
“Scott and Katrina were wonderful! They communicated with us throughout Kona’s stay and sent lots of photos and videos, which we really appreciated. Kona loved playing with their dogs and having their beautiful backyard to run around in. Scott and Katrina were both so sweet with her, and it was obvious that Kona felt happy and comfortable with them. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!”
“Can’t say enough good things about the service level. I rebooked with Angie the day I picked my dog up. If you select her and by extension her family you will not be disappointed.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Gabby was amazing when it came to taking care of our puppy Punky. They treated her like their own and just raced about how good she was. I will definitely use Gabby again in the future when we go on extended stays!!”
“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.”
“I had the good fortune of finding Deanna! She has established a safe and dog friendly haven that caters to the enjoyment of many breeds. Deanna goes above and beyond to understand the preferences and needs of your fur baby, ensuring a caring experience. I not only recommend but will use her services again.”
“Stacey and her family took great care of our pups. She sent photos and gave regular updates of how they were doing. Both dogs were happy and comfortable in their home.”

“I could not have asked for a better experience with rose!! She was so nice and sent me a ton of updates through the day my pup was with her. The fenced in back yard is a huge plus for zoomie sessions! Thank you for taking great care of my zozo!”
“Rene was great with Meadow, who requires lots of exercise and attention and very accommodating when my schedule changed a bit. Loving pet sitter for our girl with lots of space for her to run and a loving family to give her lots of cuddles and attention. Would recommend!”
“Joe was phenomenal with our German Shepherd, Heidi. With this only being the second time we’ve had to leave Heidi alone, some separation anxiety was expected. However, Joe is very patient and attentive, making Heidi feel right at home during our trip out of state. She really warmed up to him and ended up following him everywhere! Joe made sure to provide us with pictures and updates throughout her stay to put our minds at ease while we were away. With all of her energy, the fenced in backyard and the friendly resident dog-in-charge, Duke, were also great to have. I would highly recommend Joe for your dog-sitting needs, big or small!”
“Justen was great with my dog Honey! She is a little nervous around other dogs after previously getting attacked and he made sure she felt comfortable and safe! I would definitely let him watch her again!”
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.

“Cara was fantastic with my girls and they absolutely loved her. Cara went above and beyond to ensure her services were of perfection. Not only did she take care of my girls, she also took care of my house which is a huge peace of mind. I messed up the booking by several days, l actually needed it the day l sent it. Cara looked passed my mistake and responded minutes later. That to me is priceless.”
“Charity was wonderful at communication while we were away and our cats weren’t as shy with her as they usually are! She was thorough with her notes and listened to instructions well. We appreciated her caring for our girls while we were away and would recommend her.”
“This was my first time ever using a petsitter. I was worried that with Lily needing a pill crushed up and added to her food that it was going to be hard to find someone. Chloe was amazing. I gave her all the instructions, showed her where everything was and she showed up on time for each meal. We take weekend trips here and there and I'm hoping this will be the start of a great connection for Lily and Mistletoe.”
“Mackenzie was wonderful. Great communication and we loved the daily updates. Gave us great comfort knowing Birdie & Sam had Mackenzie checking in on them every day. Sam requires medication and Mackenzie was able to ensure he got it exactly as needed and when he needed. The kitties were well cared for and happy. We’d absolutely have Mackenzie care for our fur babies again and recommend her care for others.”

I provide a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe and comfortable.
“Yvonne was lovely with our kitty. He immediately was prepared to give her attitude and love, which takes time with most people. We were so pleased with fun detailed check in notes and the care he received.”

“Samantha did a great job checking in on our cat, Louie. On a previous vacation, he came to a cat with a UTI because the person we hired (not through Rover.com) did not clean his box properly. Samantha kept us up to date on how Louie was doing and kept his boxes clean. We came home from vacation to a happy and healthy cat. I will definitely use Samantha again!”

I handle litter box cleaning, administer medications when needed, and take care to follow each cat’s normal habits.

As of right now I cannot offer anything in my home. However when caring for pets in my clients' homes, I will follow their specific care instructions closely, including maintaining their feeding and medication schedules if needed. I will provide plenty of exercise and playtime, ensure their environment is clean and safe, and give them lots of love and attention! I can send regular updates to the client to keep them informed, and I'm always prepared for any emergencies that may arise!
“This particular visit was a meet and greet for a last minute house sitting. Her and her boyfriend were very professional, respectful and attentive to the needs my dogs have. My dogs seemed very excited to meet the both of them.”

About: I recently left a 16 year career where I grew from caseworker to supervisor to manager. I decided to pursue opportunities to care for animals, as animals are my true passion. I grew up on a small farm where we had cows, horses, pigs, chickens, dogs, cats, canaries and hamsters. I have always loved animals and enjoy caring for them. I look forward to caring for your beloved pets. I recently left my full time job to explore pet care services. I will do all I can to be available for you and your pets’ needs at anytime. I can provide care in my home, or stay in your home, wherever your pets are most comfortable. I would be able to stay the night in your home if you prefer, or stop by your home as you request. This would be determined by what is best for you and your pets.

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for 15 years. I have also worked at a vet clinic on kennel stuff and have administrated medication for both cats and dogs. I am currently working part time, and I’m in the process of starting my own business at home so I will be home mostly all day. At home I have a fenced in backyard with lots of room to run. I have a car that I can take dogs to the park and walk as well as being able to get to clients houses. I take care of all animals as if they are my own.
“This was my first time leaving my pup Reuben with a sitter and Zoe was just the sweetest! She made me feel so comfortable leaving Reuben with her! He seemed like he had a nice, relaxing day when I picked him up which was awesome because sometimes he can be a bit nervous!”
About: I have had the wonderful opportunity to spend time with many dogs of so many breeds and can’t see myself stopping! There such loving animals. I’m currently working full time and will have plenty of time to play with the Dogs. I can even take them to work with me! I have a wide open back yard and plenty of room for dogs to run. I live on a small farm with a few other animals. I’m a very trustworthy person. I’m also a kennel technician/Dog trainer so I spend time with dogs almost every day.
“Scott and Katrina were the sweetest people and I felt so comfortable leaving my girl in their care. They have the perfect set up for dogs and you can tell they truly care for the dogs in their home. We will definitely be repeats!”
“Angie and her family are wonderful with my pup Boone. He’s always worn out when I pick him up, which I appreciate greatly! Will definitely be using her as my go to as long as she’ll take us!!”
“This is my first time using Rover and Ashliegh was great to work with. My dog had a great time playing with her kids and she sent updated pictures often (which I appreciated). Happy to have found her!”
About: I have had animals my entire life so there is never a time where I wasn't around one. I also trust them more than people so therefore, they trust me more than most as well. I am a stay at home mom with 2 under 2 so I am always home and most likely available but I will probably have my children when I do any services on this app. I have 4 cats and 4 dogs of all colors and a variety of personalities so I am used to chaos. I have a fenced yard, pools and toys everywhere for my dogs to run around. My cats have their own room with all the beds and scratching posts they desire. I feed them on a timed schedule but have full water bowls all around the house for them to drink at their leisure all day. I have furniture set up specifically so they can look out windows and there are no rules when it comes to where they can sleep.
“Very nice and willing to be flexible. I was in town for work and Rhys stayed every day for doggie day care. He was happy and excited to go back each day. I would use Wendy again”
“I feel good leaving my precious Samuel with Rosemarie. I always get updates with pics and videos. If you're looking for a sitter to feel comfortable with, look no further. I've had trouble in the past with other sitters due to my drop off time being so early, but she's always ready for the drop off at the agreed upon time. That's really important if you have to be at work. Samuel always goes straight to the door when he gets out of the car. He enjoys spending his time with this sitter. It's been great!”
“Jodi was so awesome with my sweet girl. She loved her through a long weekend away from me. Something she's not use to. She sent pictures showing how well she was doing and it made me feel much better to see how well she was doing!! I highly recommend Jodi, she treated Luna as if she was one of her own dogs. I'm forever grateful for that and for putting my mind at ease on how she was doing. You will never regret using Jodi, she's AMAZING!!”
About: I have been caring for pets my entire life. I treat every animal as they were my own. I have two dogs and one cat of my own and all are rescued and very loving. I would love to nurture and spoil your pets as I do my own. This includes endless amounts of love, plenty of play time and frequent walks, and potty breaks. I want you to know while your gone working hard your babies are cared for the best they could be. I've never came across an animal that hasn't loved me and that I haven't loved. I will give endless amounts of hugs and kisses if anything thats what I'll do too much of. Thank you can't wait to hear from owners :) I work from home and I'm here available all day we take potty breaks every 2 hours and exercise time. We give love care attention here I have 2 loving dogs who love other animals and a big maine coone cat who loves attention and playing my kids love to help out also
“Jaz was amazing with my pup Onyx, he always came home happy and exhausted! Jaz communicated very well with lots of pics and daily progress reports, she would do anything to make onyx feel comfortable in her care which we both greatly appreciated!”
“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!”

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.

About: I planned a dog adoption event with the Fairfield County Dog Adoption Center and Shelter for my senior project! I've been taking care of my own pets my whole life and have been pet sitting for two years. I have one dog named Banjo, as well as three cats. I foster kittens through the Fairfield Area Humane Society! I'm currently a college student with classes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at OUL. I'm available every day of the week. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm only available after 2pm. I maintain the environment exactly as the owner prefers. I follow feeding and walking routines, supervise playtime, and make sure all safety measures are in place.

I love sending you pictures of your pets!!!

“Isabelle was fantastic! Took the job last second when original plans fell through and left me in a bind while being out of town. Isabelle provided photos and status updates for each walk. Being a 1st time Rover user, I was nervous, but Isabelle made me feel like my dog was completely taken care of and helped ease my mind. Would 100% recommend her and I will rebook with her in the future when needed. THANK YOU AND GREAT JOB ISABELLE!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them. I have experience taking care of my family’s animals, making sure they’re fed, comfortable, safe, and getting plenty of love and attention. I’m responsible, patient, and treat every animal like they’re part of the family! I work full-time in healthcare three days a week, giving me a flexible schedule to provide consistent, loving, and reliable pet care on my days off.

“Wow! Zoe is tremendous! I was very hesitant in using Rover with my best buddy Utah because he was getting walked every day by a family friend since he was a puppy. He is now going to be 4 years old in July. The dog walker he had decided to retire from her daily walks with Utah. I had to find someone great to walk Utah on a daily basis. After reading the reviews for Zoe and also seeing that she lived fairly close, I decided to reach out to her. She has been great. She asked great questions up front about Utah and what my needs were caring for him and what she may need to watch out for. Utah absolutely adores her. Zoe has been reliable and has communicated great with me. She lets me know when she arrives, she lets me know how Utah was during the walk and her visit time with him, she lets me know if he peered or pooped, and she sends me pictures of Utah while on their walk. She really likes Utah as well. I think both Utah and Zoe look forward to their daily walks. Zoe is trustworthy, mature, reliable, thoughtful, and caring. She is everything you could possibly want to care for your furry companion that you love so much. I 100% recommend Zoe without hesitation.”
About: My property has 1-acre of fenced space where your pup can run around until their heart’s content. If you have a senior pup, a young puppy, or a dog with complex medical needs, you have found the right home. Having loved and cared for my own Akitas through major health challenges—including blindness—I am completely comfortable managing complex medication schedules, topical treatments, oral meds, and injections. As an experienced dog and puppy foster (who even once fostered a litter of nine puppies!), I understand canine body language and know how to support anxious or transitioning pets. Rest assured, your pup will be cared for and welcomed with open arms no matter their situation. Pet care is my full-time job right now. I am generally away from the home for no more than a couple of hours, and if I do need to be away for longer, I will ensure you are aware in advance. I have a fenced backyard and three dogs of my own who will keep your pup company. My own dogs are a senior male, fully blind American Akita, an adult female pug mix, and a male puppy pug mix (the adult female’s puppy). I ensure all dogs are kept separate during mealtime and, as needed, during playtime where dog toys may be involved. I have crates and playpens, extra dog dishes, and plenty of indoor and outdoor toys for your pup to use as much or as little as they want. My own dogs love to cuddle and sleep on the couch and bed, and your pup is welcome to as well, as long as it’s okay with you. I’m happy to provide updates throughout your pup’s stay based on a frequency you’d prefer to ensure you feel comfortable with their time in my care.
About: I have watched and taken care of dogs since I was 16! From Dobermans to Shih Tzu’s! I have roughly 10 years so experience. Neighbors, friends, family have all trusted me with their fur babies. I love all animals and have even taken care of chickens, and other various farm animals! I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! Right now on the days I do work (just three days a week) it’s typically from 3:30-9 or 5-10. I plan on doing drop in visits and walks since I have a little family of my own! Your pup and I can play as long as needed for drop in visits and go on however long of a walk they normally go on! I can easily and tentatively follow care instructions and if they need to be crated or anything of the sort!
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: I’ve grown up with dogs for as long as I can remember. I’m a huge dog lover who has 3 dogs at home. I’m frequently helping out friends or family by stopping by and taking care of their animals when they can’t be around. I’m currently spending the summer preparing for college, so I’m free anytime of the week to come in and take care of your pet! I will not be leaving Ohio till mid-August. I make sure to keep the enviornment exactly as the owner prefers, and make sure to take all safety measures seriously. I make sure to keep everything in order and tidy while respecting house rules. I own 3 energetic dogs who play constantly and run around the yard, so I am definitely used to a little controlled chaos. I can easily take dogs on walks or crate them. I also make sure to check in with the owner and send in pictures of their pet!
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog, a Siberian husky named Archie for nearly 6 years. I’ve also trained him some basic obedience and a few cool little tricks to show off. I have also personally cared for a bulldog, labrador, three cats, and offered care to many more dog and cats. I currently work minimal hours at a nearby restaurant so I have plenty of time to spend having fun with your pup! I typically work in evenings so i’m available before 9PM! I love getting to know every dog I meet! I have walked several dogs not limited to my own, and have always been sure to be extra careful. I am big on leash safety and have dealt with several reactive larger dogs so I have learned how to handle those situations.
About: I’ve been an animal lover and dog owner my entire life. For the past 13 years, my sweet Riley was my constant companion and best friend. I lost her in November, and while I’m not quite ready for another pet of my own, I have plenty of love and attention to give to yours. My three adult children all have dogs, so I’m also a proud “grand-doggie” mom! I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ll care for your pets the way I would want someone to have cared for Riley—with love, patience, and lots of attention. They’re not just pets; they’re family. I am currently available anytime. I work from home with my own coaching business and on occasion I help my mom with her doctors appointments. I live on a walking path and enjoy walking every day. I have been a dog owner for over 35 years and very careful and aware of my surroundings.
About: I can walk your pet, bathe your pet if needed, and also pet sit if you want me to. Just ask me, the worst I can do is say no. I’m available most days for pet care, I do work between 8-5pm Monday to Friday, but other than that I’m available whenever you need me. I make sure that all my animals have what they need at all times, as well as my clients pets, if they need/want it they will have it.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. At 12 years old I volunteered at Petland and worked with taking care of the puppies there. Then when I was 13 I was working with horse at a farm. When I turned 16 and could get a job I started working at a pet store and learning pet nutrition. Then I got a second job started working at a kennel I started out as a kennel tech and now I am a dog trainer. I’m currently working full time at a dog training facility. I typically work there from 10am to about 3pm each day. I also typically work on Saturdays from 8am to 1pm. I have three fur babies that has 7.5 acres of land to fun and play. I also know a lot about pet nutrition so my dogs get fed some of the best food.

“I used Dana for the first time and she was great! She sent pictures while I was out of town and was very responsive. Romeo loved being around her kids and the other dogs. I will definitely use her again. She took very good care of my little guy.”
“Ashleigh was wonderful with my senior dog. He is very timid and from the pictures, he seemed to be right at home with her. Made me very happy he had a safe, secure and loving place to stay while I was traveling.”
“Scott and Katrina were wonderful! They communicated with us throughout Kona’s stay and sent lots of photos and videos, which we really appreciated. Kona loved playing with their dogs and having their beautiful backyard to run around in. Scott and Katrina were both so sweet with her, and it was obvious that Kona felt happy and comfortable with them. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!”
“Can’t say enough good things about the service level. I rebooked with Angie the day I picked my dog up. If you select her and by extension her family you will not be disappointed.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
About: My property has 1-acre of fenced space where your pup can run around until their heart’s content. If you have a senior pup, a young puppy, or a dog with complex medical needs, you have found the right home. Having loved and cared for my own Akitas through major health challenges—including blindness—I am completely comfortable managing complex medication schedules, topical treatments, oral meds, and injections. As an experienced dog and puppy foster (who even once fostered a litter of nine puppies!), I understand canine body language and know how to support anxious or transitioning pets. Rest assured, your pup will be cared for and welcomed with open arms no matter their situation. Pet care is my full-time job right now. I am generally away from the home for no more than a couple of hours, and if I do need to be away for longer, I will ensure you are aware in advance. I have a fenced backyard and three dogs of my own who will keep your pup company. My own dogs are a senior male, fully blind American Akita, an adult female pug mix, and a male puppy pug mix (the adult female’s puppy). I ensure all dogs are kept separate during mealtime and, as needed, during playtime where dog toys may be involved. I have crates and playpens, extra dog dishes, and plenty of indoor and outdoor toys for your pup to use as much or as little as they want. My own dogs love to cuddle and sleep on the couch and bed, and your pup is welcome to as well, as long as it’s okay with you. I’m happy to provide updates throughout your pup’s stay based on a frequency you’d prefer to ensure you feel comfortable with their time in my care.
“I could not have asked for a better experience with rose!! She was so nice and sent me a ton of updates through the day my pup was with her. The fenced in back yard is a huge plus for zoomie sessions! Thank you for taking great care of my zozo!”
“Rene was great with Meadow, who requires lots of exercise and attention and very accommodating when my schedule changed a bit. Loving pet sitter for our girl with lots of space for her to run and a loving family to give her lots of cuddles and attention. Would recommend!”
“Joe was phenomenal with our German Shepherd, Heidi. With this only being the second time we’ve had to leave Heidi alone, some separation anxiety was expected. However, Joe is very patient and attentive, making Heidi feel right at home during our trip out of state. She really warmed up to him and ended up following him everywhere! Joe made sure to provide us with pictures and updates throughout her stay to put our minds at ease while we were away. With all of her energy, the fenced in backyard and the friendly resident dog-in-charge, Duke, were also great to have. I would highly recommend Joe for your dog-sitting needs, big or small!”
“Justen was great with my dog Honey! She is a little nervous around other dogs after previously getting attacked and he made sure she felt comfortable and safe! I would definitely let him watch her again!”
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.
“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!”
“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!”
“Alyissia was great! Winry was happy and tired when I picked her up which is great for us after a busy weekend away! We plan to use them again in the future 🥰 Thank you!”
“Cherokee and Lucy, my two large dogs, have stayed with Wendy multiple times in the past when I lived in SEO. This past trip, my husband and I drove 2 hours out of our way from Detroit to the Smokey Mountains-- just so our dogs could be with Wendy! They hadn't seen Wendy in almost three years and Cherokee scratched at her door to get in! Wendy is so thoughtful, clearly caring of our dogs, and overall a wonderful person to have in your corner. We will continue to book Wendy in the future, as her drop-off and pick-up are seamless, she is obviously quite experienced, is such a joy to see, and sends me the best updates occasionally through the stay-- always making me smile! Thank you a million times over, Wendy!”
