“Elizabeth was amazing. It's not easy going away worry-free on vacation, but she nailed it. I didn't leave her with any instructions and she handled everything flawlessly. Even exceeded expectations. Cannot recommend enough!”
About: I have owned, fostered, and volunteered with animals for over 10 years. Not only that, I have experience with providing animal therapy in a clinical setting for the last two years. Dogs and cats hold a big piece of my heart and I genuinely love to accommodate to their needs. I have experience raising puppies and kittens, taking care of elderly cats and dogs, and dogs and cats that have behavioral problems. I am familiar on how to care for dogs that have aggressive tendencies, anxiety, and hip problems. Likewise, I have experience handling cats with aggression and timidness. I am a small business owner and have days where I work from home. I could use that time to not only make extra money, but spend time with dogs and cats as well! I make sure to provide as much affection, activity, and attention to my pets to the best of my ability. Which I ensure the same treatment is given to your pets too. Depending on what service you would like me to provide, I am more than happy to go on long walks with your dog, offer enrichment, or maybe you have a lapdog that just needs a temporary companion. I am dependable and have the experience and genuine care and trust to ensure your pet has the best experience possible.
“Erica was a wonderful pet sitter. She was sweet, courteous, intuitive to our family and home, timely, and followed all instructions without hesitation. Our fur baby was happy & well taken care of upon our arrival home. We look forward to having Erica help out in the future for overnight stays, dog walks & cuddles!”
“This is the first time Janasha watched the dogs! She always stayed in communication and gave updates at least three times a day without even asking for them. We came home and the pups seemed to be in the best mood and while taking care of! Thankful for her care and accountability! The pics of the girls throughout the weekend was a plus :)”
“Khalia watched our three dogs over thanksgiving and she did an amazing job! They were so well taken care of and loved. We would recommend her and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: I've been dog sitting, dog walking and house sitting since I was in High School. Now, as an adult I want to help out more. Pet care fits perfectly within my college schedule. As classes give me a break to be able to help walk, feed or snuggle your pet. I want to be able to help recreate the normal routine your pet has as much as possible. I feel like taking an animal out of their routine sometimes affects them more than we think.
“Sheridan did an amazing job watching my dog! She was kind, communicative, and punctual. She house-sat while I was in the process of moving, and she was flexible and accommodating. Thank you Sheridan!!”
“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!”
“Loren was awesome taking care of our 3 dogs. She sent a lot of pictures and kept in touch keeping our minds at ease during our vacation. I would recommend her taking care of other people’s animals.”
“Kora was wonderful. She was very communicative and our boys (two dogs and a cat) were all very well cared for. I would absolutely ask Kora back and highly recommend her to anyone else.”
“Maggie and Willow are wonderful. Maggie stayed at my house for almost two weeks on a last minute booking. She sent updates daily and gave me peace of mind while I was gone. Would definitely book with her again!”
“It’s so difficult to search for the right person you can trust to care for your pet and be responsible in your home when you are away. But Sam made this process so easy for us and we are grateful! She stayed in communication with us often and we could see our pup was in good hands. Thank you so much Sam!”
“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!!!”
About: **Beginning May 11, 2026, I will be available for any & all visits! I’m very excited to be spending the summer with my furry friends!** Hi! I have two dogs, a four year old Beagle/Cattledog Mix and a four year old Dutch Shepherd. Both of my dogs began training as puppies and have earned their AKC CGC title as well as their novice and intermediate trick dog titles. My Beagle mix is currently training for AKC agility competitions as well as on her way to earning her therapy dog certification. My Dutchie is also working towards competing in AKC obedience trials and is currently being considered for a K9 Search and Rescue training team. I absolutely love learning new things about my dogs and getting to test their strengths. Since I have higher energy working dogs, I’m more experienced with keeping dogs engaged mentally and physically however, I do enjoy getting to work with less energetic dogs at any age. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur-baby! I am currently a full-time student at OSU studying Neuroscience Pre-Med and Biomedical Engineering. During the week, it is harder for me to schedule visits between classes and my research but some weeks I can be flexible so don’t hesitate to reach out! 😊 I love play and exercise. Most dogs I’ve interacted with are play driven (or food driven) so I try to incorporate that into my interactions with them. I am comfortable crating dogs when necessary and at the discretion of my client. I’m great with following feeding and potty routines as I know they vary from home to home.
“Pleased with Eleanor's services in watching my dog! She put me at ease knowing my dog would be well taken care of and giving him attention during her sit! Definitely recommend booking with her!”
Worthington pet parents share their Rover experiences
Hallie was the perfect fit for our pets and home. The meet and greet allowed Vanna and Scout to be comfortable with a new person to care for them and we came home to relaxed and happy fur babies! Hallie was a perfect communicator- photos, questions, updates were all very comforting as we were away. She has a relaxed demeanor that I know Vanna and Scout appreciated!
Kaylee was awesome! Really came through for us and our pets. It was a last minute request but Kaylee accepted without hesitation and took great care of our home as well as our pets! We really appreciate it. We will definitely use services again in the future and I highly recommend.
Taylor was great! This was our first time using rover and we we’re going to be out of the country for over 2 weeks. She came over and met our cat Panther before we left gave us confidence she was good either way cats. During the trip she gave us regular updates and the most important thing was Panther looked happy. Our only regret with Taylor is that she’s moving out of state. We cannot recommend her more highly!
Loren took care of my two dogs while I was gone for 7 days. She sent updates twice a day (even when I was unable to access the internet) which I appreciated. I have a very reactive dog and she was very patient with him, even came to meet him twice before the trip. Would be happy to use her services again in the future.
Lea is the best! She is so responsible and communicative, making it so easy for me and my husband to go on vacation and not worry about our home and doggies. We are so thankful for her help, and always enjoy coming home to happy dogs and a clean home!! Highly recommend!!
Shannon is the best of the best! As someone who truly believes that her dogs are her babies, I couldn’t ask for anything more from Shannon. She promptly sends updates at the frequency you request, reaches out with any questions she has and took the best care of our babies. Our dogs even got sad and whined upon her departure. We can’t wait to ask Shannon to watch them again.
Elizabeth was great at communicating and left our home just as we left it. Best of all, Bella, our 14 1/2 year old pup, was the calmest and happiest we've ever seen her after leaving her with a dog/house sitter. We especially appreciated Elizabeth's willingness to drive out to the country and her patience and care in letting Bella warm up to her. We highly recommend Elizabeth W.! We hope she will come care for Bella again.
