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!

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 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.

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.

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.
