“Rita and Brian are fantastic! They took wonderful care of Beign, taking him to different parks daily for his exercise. I received a detailed daily report with numerous pictures letting me known how Beign was doing and what he did each day. Rita and Brian took wonderful care of my fur baby. It was comforting to know he was in great hands. I would highly recommend them. Thank you, Rita and Brian!!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Kelsey! She sent me several updates throughout the stay. and I had a happy, tired dog when she got home from all the playing?”
“Emily sent lots of pictures to let us know how Simba’s stay was going. He tends to be anxious when we are away. But he seemed to be quite relaxed and happy at Emily’s place.”
“Kirsten and Nicolas were great! They sent pics during the whole stay and were very communicative. They also have a fenced in back yard that they let the dogs run around in. They updated us when the pups appetites were low, which I really appreciated. Both of our dogs tend to be anxious without us because they aren’t used to used to being alone, so it was also a big plus that they work from home. In the past we have had to send our pups to kennels because we don’t have friends or family near by who can watch them. They would be locked in a kennel all day and we would literally have to pay extra for belly rubs or time out of the kennel. I usually feel uneasy the whole trip but not this time. I could tell they were well taken care of and treated like one of their own. Thank you so much Kirsten and Nicolas!”
“Fantastic care provided for our shitzu with updates and pictures. We were confident our little guy was in great hands and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
“Angela did a wonderful job taking care of Willow. She sent pictures and updates which was much appreciated. Will book with her again! Willow loved their morning jogs together as well.”
“We found a treasure when we asked Kelly and Ben to help watch our dog while we were out of town! They love that she wanted to meet our Daisy before we made the final arrangements. That gave us such peace of mind. Our pup walked into their beautiful home, and she instantly felt comfortable. Their home is warm and gave us a feeling that our dog would be so well loved while we had to be out of town. Kelly also showed how much she cared and how knowledgeable she is by asking all the right questions and loving on Daisy like she was already a part of their family. Communication was terrific too! We received pictures throughout the weekend of Daisy on walks and being her sweet and silly self with Kelly’s family too! We are so happy with the experience that we already scheduled another time out of town - knowing that our Daisy girl will be totally spoiled and cared for while we are gone. Thank you to Kelly and her family for loving our dog like we do!❤️”
“Katelyn and Nicholas were both welcoming and a great host for our 11 month old golden retriever. We were provided frequent updates/pictures which was comforting because this was our first trip without our dog. We will return if we ever need their services again!”
“This was our first time leaving our puppy and Loni was amazing! She sent frequent messages and pictures to let us know she was adjusting well. We will definitely use Loni again!!”
“What a wonderful experience! Thank you so much from all three of us. It’s such a relief to know that our girl was taken so great care of. It means so much”
“Rachelle and her daughters were lovely. This is the second time leaving my little girl with someone and I can honestly say that I will be using her services again. My girl has anxiety issues but they were gentle with her and gave her space to warm up. I highly recommend.”
“Lauren is absolutely wonderful! Her kind and caring nature shows through in the way she cares for our pups. Lauren is very detailed oriented, giving a report on how our pups got along with her dog and each other, what they ate, if they rested. We feel very blessed to have Lauren to help us care for our fur family.”
“She and her daughter took great care of our pup. He loved them and seems to have had a great time on vacation from his parents. They took him on lots of walks, played with his favorite toys and gave him lots of love. Thank you so much for being a wonderful sitter to Prince.”
“John and Shannon took amazing care of our lab. They sent photos/ videos daily of Maggie, playing outside, going on walks, and relaxing in the house. We felt so comfortable and are excited for Maggie to have such a great place to stay in the future!”
“Nicole was so amazing with our dog, Nellie! This was our first Rover experience, so of course I was nervous, and Nicole sent frequent photos and updates of Nellie. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be rebooking!”
“Rachel you were a life saver this weekend!! Thank you for your flexibility and for taking such great care of our Emmet. We always know he's in great hands when we leave him with you!!!”
“Abigail and her husband were so awesome! We had some plans change while they had our dog Chopper, and they happily took care of him a whole extra day:) They sent lots of pics/videos and were incredibly communicative, which was all super helpful. 10/10 would recommend!”
“So nice to know my pup had a family to love him while I was away. Jasmine was great - super responsive and flexible with drop off/pickup pending flight schedules. Strongly recommend!”
“Emily and Nicholas were wonderful with me and my lab mix puppy. They were so friendly and checked with me if they had any doubts about any part of Penny's care or stay. I got multiple pictures per day and the puppy was obviously having a blast. I will definitely be using both Rover and Emily and Nicholas again.”

“Carolyne did a great job; she showed up on time every day and communicated with me when necessary. There were some extra things I asked her to do during drop-ins and she was happy to do so. I appreciated when she asked to make sure she was doing things the way I wanted. She is someone you can count on!”
“Carrie was great with my cats and made sure they had everything they needed while I was away. Highly recommend her. She was on time, spent time visiting and giving them affection and it was reassuring to know they had some companionship while I was gone.”
“Marissa, helped me in a pinch with a last-minute request for drop-in visits with my cat when I left town. She also agreed to an extra day when I decided to extend my trip. She communicated well with me before and during. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Melissa did a wonderful job with our cat while we were away on vacation last week! Our cat is usually very shy around new people, however she bonded very quickly with Melissa! I looked forward to the daily pics she would send me & the updates! It was really nice having the peace of mind that she was well looked after while we were away. Melissa was very reliable each day & went above & beyond!”
About: If you’re looking for someone dependable, experienced and trustworthy to care for your fur baby, look no further! I have experience with all types of different breeds and temperaments. Growing up I had a Dalmatian, Chihuahua and a Pit bull mix. I unfortunately just lost my 12 year old Puggle and currently have a Beagle/Blue Tick hound mix. I can assure you when your dog is in my care, I will treat and care for them as if they are my own. I am currently a stay at home mom of twin boys! My husband works from home so I would love to be able to work your fur baby into my open schedule! I know how hard it can be to have to leave your pet for any amount of time and I will give your pet an ample amount of attention! I love to go on walks, play with their favorite toys, I can easily crate your pet if needed and I am able to give medicine if your pets requires me to do so.
About: My whole life there was an animal in my household. So ever since I was 5 years old I would help out. It started off as just feeding the dogs but as I got older I gained more and more experience. Taking the dogs on a walk, letting them outside, simple grooming, administering medicine, etc. Dogs and animals alike have a special place in my heart. They truly are man’s best friend. Even if it isn’t my personal animal it is my goal to give your furry friend the same care and affection that they deserve. I’m currently a college student in my sophomore year. I miss my dogs now that I’m not home, so I truly do give other people dogs as if they are my own. My schedule is mostly open in the evenings and I’m more than willing to work things out, even outside of hours that are listed in my profile. I would want to get to know you and your dog before I come into both of your guys domain. I would follow directions however you desire and most importantly treat them as my own fur baby.
About: Hi! I’m Dallas! Your pet’s home away from home. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, reptiles, and even farm animals so caring for pets isn’t something I learned, it’s just how I’ve always lived. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from high energy pups to shy or more sensitive animals who need a slower approach. Now that my daughters are about to be in school full-time, I finally have the flexibility and extra time to focus on pet sitting and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. This also helps fund my love for traveling, so I take this seriously and treat it like a real responsibility, not just a side gig. We’re a pet loving household, and your pet will be treated like part of the family while they’re here. We have two dogs who are very friendly and loving, they’ll definitely want to make friends but full honesty, they can be a little yappy at times. We also have a cat who mostly keeps to herself and doesn’t bother anyone. For safety and quality of care, I only take one family at a time, so your pet will always get my full attention without the stress of a crowded environment. We don’t have a fenced yard, but your pet will still get regular walks, attention, and supervised time to stay active and happy. What you can expect from me: • A safe, structured, and loving home environment • Plenty of attention, interaction, and supervision • Regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing • Respect for your pet’s routine, preferences, and comfort level I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone else, so I do everything I can to make that decision easier and to make sure they feel right at home. My schedule is flexible and pet focused. I work part time as a hairstylist three days a week, but I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to make sure they get consistent attention, walks, and interaction. When I’m at the salon, my husband is home and helps maintain your pet’s routine, so they’re never left alone for long periods. Between the two of us, your pet will always have supervision, care, and plenty of attention throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I keep their routine as close to home as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or downtime. Since I only take one family at a time, your pet gets my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment. They’ll have plenty of interaction throughout the day, whether that’s playing, relaxing, or just being near someone whatever they’re used to. We don’t have a fenced yard, so all outdoor time is supervised, and dogs are either leashed or closely monitored to ensure safety. Walks and regular potty breaks are built into the day. I’m very mindful of different personalities and energy levels. My two dogs are friendly and social, but I always make sure introductions are done slowly and safely so everyone is comfortable. Our cat keeps to herself and typically stays out of the way. On days I’m at the salon, my husband is home to help maintain your pet’s routine, so they’re never left alone for long periods. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely to keep everything consistent and stress free feeding, walks, medications, and any specific preferences you have. My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Arianna impressed me from the start with her great communication before booking. She stayed overnight with my mom's two 14-year-old cats. I came home to two happy cats and a clean house. Thank you so much, Arianna!”
About: Our senior rescues passed on last year; I want to care for others animals as I did for them. If you are going on vacation, out of town, or having a long day at work, I can check in with them. My work is sporadic, but I am taking time off and re-connecting with furry friends. I can spend several hours a day with your pets as needed My house does have a fenced back yard. We love very close to the bike path which is ideal for walks. If they have specific diet concerns that is good to know as well.
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with Safaa! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt comfortable knowing she was in caring hands. Jennifer kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was always quick to communicate and made sure I knew how Safaa was doing. Both Jennifer and her husband were incredibly sweet and kind, and it was clear they genuinely love and care for animals. Their three beautiful cats added to the warm and welcoming environment. I am so grateful for the care Safaa received and will definitely be using Jennifer again in the future. Thank you for making Safaa’s stay such a positive experience!”
About: I have always had dogs in my life and I am ready to meet and take care of yours! I have had 3 Saint Bernards and 3 Basset Hounds so I know how to handle size and sass. I've been working in kennels and doggy daycares since I was 16, so I have 5 years of animal care experience that I can bring to the table. This includes administering meds (syringe feeding, injection, and oral), walking pets, soothing stressed animals, playtime, on and off-leash experience. cleaning up after pets, and maintaining their environment. A little bit of poop won't scare me! I am currently looking for a job so my hours are completely open at the moment, but that may change. I will make sure to keep in contact with any of my pet owners about any changes in my schedule. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex, but I would prefer to look after pets in their home environment. I drive a large car so I can transport animals anywhere you should ask me to. I currently do not have a pet of my very own so your pets will be my priority!
About: I am a mom who recently lost her dog due to cancer a year ago. I do this as a source of income due to my health and kids. I grew up with dogs since I was born and am very familiar with large/extra large breeds but love all dogs! Just looking to help out another pet owner while making some extra money to buy my baby due in February of 2023 everything they need! I do have a local vet who will happily tell you how well I take care of my own pets and adore animals! I'm a stay at home momma. I do not have fenced in yard, daily walks once or twice a day are part of my routine along with lots of playing with toys! I am able to crate dog(s) if needed during night or when I am not home. I am not against dogs on furniture unless owner requests otherwise.

About: What sets me apart from others sitters is the unconditional love that I have for animals in plural, the space they have in my heart. I’m mostly at home, I’m in my second trimester of pregnancy, and I’m most of the time alone because my husband works. Here to help. I just moved to a new apartment and the environment is very friendly, is comfortable, and very peaceful. I speak English and Spanish. Everyone’s welcome.
About: I've been training and caring for dogs professionally for over 15 years. I enjoy caring for dogs and enriching their lives through exercise and training. If your dog needs a walk while you're at work, or you need vacation care for your pets, I'm here for you and your pets. I have trained and titled dogs in Obedience, Rally, Agility and Tricks. I am also a Certified Assistance dog trainer. Along with walks and drop-ins, I also offer day training services that we can discuss at our initial meet and greet, if you're interested in me training with your dog during the day as part of, or instead of, a walk. Walking and training is my full-time job. I'm available weekdays, and some weekends. I'd love to care for your dog while you're at work or away. Exercise, play and train with dogs during the day while their humans are away. Reinforcing good behavior is my specialty. I love training walks and fun training sessions to keep dogs mentally and physically stimulated. If you'd like, I can incorporate training into any of my visits for an additional fee. Reach out for more information. I utilize the dogs food and toys to positively reinforce good behaviors that we'd like to see more of. I work on the basics and fun tricks and skills, not behavior problems or aggression.
About: I like to think I’m a dog communicator.

About: I have had three dogs, myself and personally trained two of them! Our young growing family will give your pup plenty of attention and love!

I spend lots of time outside with the kids so you can also be assured that your pet will be given plenty of outside time! I am happy to leave pets inside if they prefer that as well. With our Australian Shepherd exercise will also not be a concern as he is very playful but he also will leave animals alone if they don’t want to play!

About: Growing up on a farm set the stage for providing and caring for all sorts of animals. Many years spent showing horses, lambs, goats, market hogs and all sorts of small animals in 4H. After college I started working with standardbred race horses as a groom. Since then for the past 6 years I have worked with racehorses, broodmares and foals. All the while keeping my loyal canines happy. Since having a sweet baby boy in April, I have quit my full time job. On occasion I still work for my fiancé and his families racehorse stable. I am looking to add some fun and exciting new friends to my daily routine! My family and our two dogs Brandi a 6 year old mountain cur / beagle mix and Iggy a 6 month old mini Aussie/beagle mix live in a quite neighborhood with a recently added privacy that backs up to a woods. Our home is secured by Nest security cameras. Your family members would be welcomed into our home or given their own privacy room or kennel depending on their individual needs. If your 4 legged family member is more comfortable staying at their own home, playing in their own yard and walks in a familiar neighborhood, I also offer that!

“WOW! Such a wonderful experience with Kristine!! She was able to help me out LAST MINUTE with my pup! She was SO kind and amazing! She sent updates and pictures that gave me so much comfort! My dog had the best time with her, her family, and her pups! I think my dog would’ve stayed another couple days if it was up to her! I would recommend Kristine’s services 100 times over if I could!!😊♥️🐾”
“Elissa was wonderful with Kylo! He came home happy and tired. Elissa was able to accommodate us on very short notice as we had a family funeral to attend out of state. She happily took our pup for the day and we felt comfortable being able to attend the funeral with no worries on him being crated all day while we were gone. I recommend her and we will be using her services again!”
“Although Rose took very good care of my dog, followed up with pictures and questions, her address is a to cryptic. Her address is a general location to hundreds of apartments. Although I understand the need for privacy and security, she could state to meet her near the mini dog park 100 yards North of the Starbucks and Village Market.”

What you can expect from me: • A safe, structured, and loving home environment • Plenty of attention, interaction, and supervision • Regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing • Respect for your pet’s routine, preferences, and comfort level I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone else, so I do everything I can to make that decision easier and to make sure they feel right at home. My schedule is flexible and pet focused. I work part time as a hairstylist three days a week, but I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to make sure they get consistent attention, walks, and interaction. When I’m at the salon, my husband is home and helps maintain your pet’s routine, so they’re never left alone for long periods. Between the two of us, your pet will always have supervision, care, and plenty of attention throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I keep their routine as close to home as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or downtime. Since I only take one family at a time, your pet gets my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment. They’ll have plenty of interaction throughout the day, whether that’s playing, relaxing, or just being near someone whatever they’re used to. We don’t have a fenced yard, so all outdoor time is supervised, and dogs are either leashed or closely monitored to ensure safety. Walks and regular potty breaks are built into the day. I’m very mindful of different personalities and energy levels. My two dogs are friendly and social, but I always make sure introductions are done slowly and safely so everyone is comfortable. Our cat keeps to herself and typically stays out of the way. On days I’m at the salon, my husband is home to help maintain your pet’s routine, so they’re never left alone for long periods. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely to keep everything consistent and stress free feeding, walks, medications, and any specific preferences you have. My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I grew up within a household with a variety of animals. At one point we had five dogs, a cat, a bunny, a guinea pig, three hamsters, 5 birds, a bearded dragon, and a gecko. I learned at a very early age how to tend to animals (clean, feed, play, walk, potty breaks, etc) I enjoy helping others and especially caring for animals. They simply bring me joy. I have open availability (other than dates marked off calendar) and am flexible to try and accommodate your schedule as best as possible in order to make things easy for you and your pet. My male husband and I own a house with a fenced in backward and a neighborhood to walk in. Since I have open availability, I have time to tend to the animals without any distractions from other tasks.
About: My whole life there was an animal in my household. So ever since I was 5 years old I would help out. It started off as just feeding the dogs but as I got older I gained more and more experience. Taking the dogs on a walk, letting them outside, simple grooming, administering medicine, etc. Dogs and animals alike have a special place in my heart. They truly are man’s best friend. Even if it isn’t my personal animal it is my goal to give your furry friend the same care and affection that they deserve. I’m currently a college student in my sophomore year. I miss my dogs now that I’m not home, so I truly do give other people dogs as if they are my own. My schedule is mostly open in the evenings and I’m more than willing to work things out, even outside of hours that are listed in my profile. I would want to get to know you and your dog before I come into both of your guys domain. I would follow directions however you desire and most importantly treat them as my own fur baby.
About: I've had pets since I was 10. I have taken care of both cats and dogs. Friendly, conscientious, and thorough. Can't wait to walk new dogs/friends. I'm currently off of work for the summer as I teach full time during the school year. I am working on taking time for myself, exercising, and walking dogs. I take care of my pets by either crating them or leaving them in a bedroom when I am out and about. I have a crate for them to use.
About: I am a trained veterinarian assistance (over 10 years experience) with a background in positive reinforcement training and grooming. I've also done a lot of work with special needs dogs (deaf, blind, amputees, behavioral issues, megaesophagous, Degenerative Myelopathy, diabetes, ect.) as well as being a certified therapy dog handler and trainer with Black Paw Canine. I worked for 10 years as a full time veterinary assistant at non-profit, full service vet clinics in Columbus and at various dog boarding and training facilities. I work part time as a Firefighter/Paramedic, so I am looking to fill my spare time doing something else I love! I wish to tailor the experience for each pet I meet. I can play, run, cuddle, groom, administer meds, train, you name it! It all depends on what your pet enjoys and what will be most beneficial to them! Thank you for trusting me with your furry family members! You can rest easy that with my years of experience and my time in veterinary and human medicine that your furry family member will receive the best care! I typically work one-two 24hr shifts with my fire department and then am completely free on my other days off. This gives me plenty of flexibility to help work around other schedules! Each pet gets a specialized care plan based on their needs. This will be discussed in length as to which things you'd like me to work on with your pup or what things we can reinforce when I care for your pet.
“Cori has been walking my Maxie since August 2021 everyday. Maxie enjoys her daily walks with Cori. Cori sends me a daily update and photo of her and Maxie's time together. Cori gives Maxie a full walk and treats Maxie as if she were her own dog. We are very pleased with Cori's services and recommend her.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my 15 year old dog since she was 8 weeks old! She now needs a lot more potty breaks than before, requires medication occasionally and waits for me to give her massages after waking up because her arthritis is worse in the morning! As you can see she needs extra catering to since she has gotten older. She is spoiled and cuddly and I love every second of it! I’m a social worker who does “home visits” for children during the day. My job is community based therefore it gives me more flexibility with my daily schedule. I think mental health is important therefore I believe in daily walks for myself! I will walk as long and as far as your dog will allow me to go! I have a wooded walking trail in my neighborhood that allows for exploring opportunities for your furry family members. 😊
About: I have prior experience walking dogs and I have had cats in my home for the majority of my life. I have also volunteered at animal shelters to help take care of the cats and dogs there. Pet care fits into my weekly routine well since I now have much more time available to dedicate to it. I am available most days of the week with normal hours (9 AM - 5 PM just as a ballpark) unless something comes up. I will care for the pets in their owner's home or in mine the same way they would if not better. If there is something specific that the pet needs, I will take care of it.

“We were totally satisfied with our experience with Leslie and the Rover website. Leslie was more than knowledgeable about pet care and safety. Her Golden is a true sweetheart that would get alone with any dog. She has a nice fenced backyard with plenty of room to play.

Two thumbs up!!”
