“Halina and Ted are so kind and loving to our llttle Trey! This was our first booking, we never had a concenr while we were away!! We receive pictures and updates on his time with them. So comforting knowing he is well cared for and receiving many snuggles. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!”

“Victoria and Christopher were amazing with my two dogs. I could tell from the initial meeting that they were a good fit for what my family needed. They have definitely earned a customer for as long as they continue to do dog sitting.”

“Best dog boarding available in the Columbus area, no doubt about it. Karl takes care of your dogs needs with high attention to detail. He also sends daily updates which is very nice. You can tell he maintains a great relationship with the dogs he watches, my dog is always so tail-happy to visit! Recommended to the paw-most degree!”

About: Hi, I’m Tyra! I provide a safe, structured, and attentive home environment where pets are treated like family. I focus on each dog’s comfort, routine, and individual needs to help them feel secure while you’re away. I have hands-on experience caring for both a high-energy Goldendoodle and a small Yorkie, giving me experience with a wide range of sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and routine so I can provide care that helps pets feel comfortable and settled in a new environment. In my home, pets receive: • Structured care and supervision • Playtime, enrichment, and safe outdoor breaks • A calm, clean, pet-friendly environment • Regular updates and photos for peace of mind My schedule allows me to provide morning, evening, and weekend care, with plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship outside of work hours. Dogs staying in my home should be comfortable being left alone for a standard workday if boarding occurs on weekdays. For the safety and well-being of all pets in my care, dogs must be able to coexist peacefully with other dogs or be comfortable with slow, structured introductions. Depending on a dog’s individual needs, I may not be the best fit for pets requiring constant supervision or extensive separation accommodations. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for, so you can feel confident while you’re away💛 Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I work full-time during the week, but I make pet care a priority before and after work and throughout the weekends. Dogs in my care receive plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship outside of work hours. I strive to keep their routines consistent and provide a safe, comfortable environment while their owners are away. Dogs staying in my home should be comfortable being left alone for a standard workday on weekdays. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free by maintaining their routine and providing attentive care. Whether a pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any specific preferences or needs. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and opportunities to relax. I work full-time during the week, so dogs staying in my home should be comfortable being left alone for a standard workday. Outside of work hours, I prioritize exercise, companionship, enrichment, and maintaining a consistent routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the pet and the home with respect. I aim to keep routines as normal as possible, provide reliable care, and help pets feel secure while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected throughout their pet’s stay.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. My life has revolved around caring for my own dogs. I have one senior dog & he'd like to make new friends. I work full time from home. I lost my female in February. I have a senior lab mix who would like company & i would like more interaction with dogs. My husband works part time from home. We have a nice yard for play time. I have a senior lab mix & he was trained on an underground fence . The yard is partially fenced in. It's a great space for play time
“I cant recommend Erin enough, she is the best! When I got a new puppy I was a bit nervous about finding a sitter to continue with our routine and spend the extra time needed for a puppy, but Erin scheduled a meet & greet to learn all about Skye’s training and get to know us. Skye hit it off right away with Erin and her 2 dogs. I love that she sends updates and photos a couple of times a day so I know that she is having a blast and getting lots of attention while she’s away from home.”

“Carly was amazing with our pup, Sunny! She was attentive, kind, supportive and flexible to fit her needs, and she sent us lots of updates which we loved. I would highly recommend Carly!!”

“Coco had a great time!! Allison is great at sending updates (pictures and videos) enjoying her time, which made it easier for us to be away from Coco for so many days. Thank you Allison!”

“Jasmine was amazing with my dog Kobe! She kept me up to date sending pics and informing me of his stay which made me felt relieved he was in great care. I totally plan on boarding my pup with her and her family again on future trips!”

“My pup Rowdy had a great time with Gabby and her family. I was pretty nervous to leave him because it was his first time being "boarded" and can be a little high strung and anxious, but I can tell he had a blast. Gabby sent lots of pictures and updates and put my mind at ease. He got plenty of play time and snuggles and seemed really relaxed when I picked him up. We would be happy to leave Rowdy in her care again.”

“Lorie’s home is full of love for the dogs she cares for. Her extensive experience shows, and she provided a caring stay for our anxious rescue pooch. We hope to use Lorie again in the future!”

“Megan and Jay took wonderful care of Loki! He clearly had a great time with plenty of walks and lots of backyard play. They kept me updated with great communication and photos, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend them and will definitely book with them again. Thank you!”

About: Located in Westerville, OH my wife and I have a large fenced in backyard and screened in patio. I work from home full-time. We also have a 2 year old long-haired mini dachsund, Rocco, who loves to play with other dogs (when he’s not on house security duty). He loves to sniff around the backyard and play fetch for as long as possible and would love a friend to join him. Rocco has consistently attended daycare here in Columbus and is accustomed to dogs of all sizes. My wife and I both grew up with hunting chocolate labs so we are experienced with handling dogs of all sizes. We live next to two large walking paths and have a nice quiet neighborhood where we love to take our dog. We currently have a 2 year old mini dachsund so we already have a nice dog routine between my wife and I! We make sure to have plenty of water available on the main floor, especially during summer months. I take regular breaks throughout my work from home day to toss the ball in the backyard! Pets that stay at our house will have full access to inside, screened in patio and our large fenced in backyard! I work from home full-time so I am with the dogs all day. Dogs can’t fit through the fenced in yard so no worries about escape artists.
“Marie and Fiancé were great with Daisy so much so I believe they could have adopted her! She was happy while I was working! It is worth extra$ to board her instead of having her in hotel room- happy pup!”

“It’s so difficult find a reliable pet sitter. It’s even more difficult to enjoy time away BUT Jenny is the best!! I feel very comfortable with my girls in her care. Jenny is hands down the best I’ve ever left my girls with!”
“Alyssa was great! She helped take care of our puppy Nova while we were on a weekend vacation. It allowed us to relax and not have to worry about our baby. Also, her 2 fur babies got along well with Nova and we even were able to do a pre meet before the vacation. Plus they have a nice yard in the back. Alyssa sent updates and photos throughout our trip. She’s very friendly and easy to talk to. Would recommend!”

“Deanna provided such a great experience for my fur baby. She was very attentive to her and made her feel right at home. Deanna kept me informed of her progress and provided me with pictures and videos throughout her stay. Deanna’s dogs are very social and well behaved and welcomed my dog into their little pack. I could tell my Sofee had the time of her life. I would definitely rebook with Deanna.”

Westerville pet parents share their Rover experiences
12/10! She and her husband took in my zoo last minute, was super communicative and sensitive to any needs the had. My Newfie and English bully absolutely adores her golden and was even able to have a little birthday treat for her golden while there🤩 She is my go to now, 100%. Thanks for everything!

We had a wonderful experience with Sarah! Our pups came home happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. We were especially nervous about leaving our new rescue, but Sarah’s frequent updates and photos completely put our minds at ease. It was such a relief to see them settling in so well. We can’t recommend her enough! 😊

Zach is an amazing sitter! I was nervous about finding a sitter for my dog Riley since he can be very anxious but Zach made him feel right at home. Riley loved him so much to the point he was giving Zach tons of face kisses, which he rarely does with people he doesn’t know well. Zach also gave me lots of updates which gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend using Zach as a sitter!

Olivia and Josh were absolutely amazing with Cookie! They kept us updated with pictures, and consistently let my partner and I know how she was doing throughout the stay. We could tell Cookie was comfortable and happy with them the entire twelve days they watched her, which is always what you want out of a pet sitter. We would always recommend trusting Olivia and Josh with your fur baby ❤️

This was my first time using Rover and my first time leaving Jessie with someone we didn’t know and so I was definitely a bit nervous. But Caitlin was phenomenal and just speaking with her helped ease my anxiety. She was friendly, responsive and provided me with updates that made me feel much better during Jessie’s stay. I highly recommend Caitlin to my fellow pet parents looking for a professional and caring sitter!
