“Ashely was incredible!!! She gave great updates and was very easy to communicate with. My dog loved her! She also took fantastic care of my apartment while I was gone. I will for sure be booking with Ashley again! Thanks for everything Ashley!!!”

“Ben provided an extended time (12 days) house-sitting both our dogs and home. He was very responsive and responsible. I highly recommend Ben… he's extremely courteous and conscientious.”

“My wife and I were in Columbus recently from out of town for our daughter's wedding. We're so happy we found Morgan for our two pups! Morgan stayed with them for two evenings in our Airbnb. Morgan calmed them with her gentle, caring manner and provided us with pics each time. Her communication was excellent and she helped to eliminate any worries we had about leaving our dogs alone. When we need help with the dogs in the future, we won't hesitate to give Morgan a call!”

“Mallory was excellent sitting for us over a long weekend! She was very communicative over the whole period and gave our pup so much love. We will definitely be looking to hire Mallory anytime we need a walker or sitter. Bonus, she left our home spotless so our return home was super easy!”

“Corrinn did a great job! She provided updates often and seemed to really bond with my kitties. I have 4 senior cats that have special needs and I felt very at ease with them in her care. They are very routine orientated and Corrinn didn’t miss a beat with the feeding and medicine schedules. I would definitely rebook and recommend her.”

“Jamie was fantastic. Our dog is a rescue who has only been in our home about six months and is still somewhat adjusting. This was our first time away and Jamie was a perfect fit. She kept him moving and with plenty of cuddles. We returned home to a peaceful house and a happy pup! We will absolutely ask her to watch him again!”

“Kailyn watched our dog in our home for a long weekend and was wonderful! She provided updates and pictures. She took good care of our home while we were away. We felt completely comfortable with her and plan to have her watch our pup in the future!”

“Kiara took great care of our dogs. She was quick to respond to messages. Kiara was reliable and professional; she let me know when my dog appeared to not feel well.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and former dog mom who’s joining Rover to filll the dog (or cat) shaped hole in my heart. After losing my own pup, I realized I can’t go through that solo again - but I’m ready to pour my love, attention, and care into your pups. I have hands on experience with reactive dogs, dogs on special diets, and high-energy breeds who need structure, patience, and a good walk. I live in a dog friendly condo near Sharon Woods, which had a great walking path perfect for strolls. I currently work a 9-5 position that gives me the flexibility of working from both home and in office. It makes it easier to accommodate owners. Dogs are always allowed on the couch unless you tell me not to, I have a back patio but will take your pup on active walks.
“Lauren was great at contacting me and giving updates on the dogs. It was comforting to see what was going on with the dogs while I was gone. I could tell by the way she interacted with the dogs that she is an animal lover.”

“Lauren is a fantastic pet sitter! She is responsive, easy to work with, and took great care of both of our older pups for the 2 weeks we were out of the country. She sent sweet pictures of our pups and kept us updated on any concerns she had. We trusted her completely and would highly recommend her!”

About: Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve worked with playful puppies, shy rescues, and older dogs who need a slower, more gentle approach. I’m especially patient and attentive, whether that means reinforcing basic training, sticking to a detailed routine, or just giving extra cuddles and reassurance. What makes me different is how much I truly treat every pet like family. I don’t just “watch” pet, I bond with them. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy, and comfort so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. I am currently a graduate student doing all online classes, so my schedule can quite be flexible! I have reliable transportation as well. I only have hour long workouts that can be moved to whatever time preferred. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or specific preferences, so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. Safety is always a top priority. I’m careful to secure doors and entry points to prevent escapes, keep the environment clean and hazard-free, and respect any household rules you have in place. I also pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and well-being so I can quickly notice if anything seems off.
“Cody was great!! She was responsive in a timely manner, reliable, and caring towards our elderly dog. We felt completely comfortable with her in our home for a 4 day stay. Highly recommend!”

“Brittany was a hit with our Sheltie from the very first meet & greet! She kept me updated on how they were doing. Which is a blessing especially when you are out of town attending a funeral. You definitely do not want to worry about your fur babies!”

“Christina was amazing with my very difficult dog. She was so patient and he has decided to love her. Christina's communication was great and I felt very confident leaving my babies with her. We will definitely be rebooking.”

“Madi was wonderful with our three pets. She took the needs of our very needy senior dog in stride & loved on all three of them. The house was perfect when we got home. Highly recommend!”
“Kayla was great with my older dog. She made Sadie feel comfortable immediately and gained her trust to administer her needed eye medications. I would definitely book her again in the future!”

As Jamie has pet sat for our sweet girl, Pepper, many times, I will keep this short and sweet. Jamie is so in tune with animals, has such a calming, caring, attentive way about her. She always keeps in touch with us during our travels. She is truly special, not just as a caregiver of pets, but as a human being. Should you need more information, feel free to read my previous reviews.
If you’re looking for a dog sitter who truly treats your pup like family, I can’t recommend Katherine enough! She watched my dog Callie for a full week and went above and beyond. She made sure Callie got plenty of walks, lots of attention, and so much love while we were away. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Callie wasn’t just being “watched,” but genuinely cared for and spending quality time with someone who clearly loves dogs. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, which says everything! If you’re looking for someone dependable, thoughtful, and amazing with dogs, she’s the one. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful experience with Gina and are SO grateful to have found her. Lukee is a large pitbull mix recovering from TPLO surgery and needs extra help getting around with his harness. Gina's medical experience gave us so much peace of mind. She handled him gently and confidently and even spent time massaging him to keep him comfortable. When we ran late getting home, she stayed without hesitation and truly went above and beyond. We came home to a comfortable dog and felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, skilled pet care.

It was wonderful to enjoy a relaxing vacation knowing our fur babies were in excellent hands! Worrying about our pets has always been stressful but not this time. Abigail took excellent care of our energetic dog and cat as well as our house. It was so refreshing to come home to happy pets! Thank you Abigail! We look forward to working with you again.

Ashley was AMAZING!! My pups were looking for her when we came home. Would highly recommend. She provided just the right amount of updates and pups loved her. One of my dogs is a rescue dog who takes a long time to warm up to peeps and I think she misses Ashley the most!
Caitlin stayed at my house for 10 days with my senior dog. She was so sweet and understanding. My dog is on a lot of medication that has to be taken at a certain time and she took that very seriously. Since he's an older dog with a couple medication conditions. she was also understanding and responsible when it came to extra needs he has, like not being left alone for too long in case he has a seizure. She was excellent with daily updates and pictures. She kept me informed on him taking his medication and that he was doing well. But what I loved best what how much she loved him. She was so sweet with my old guy and hearing how much she loved him gave me confidence that he was in good hands. I would highly recommend Caitlin.
