About: I've lived with pets my whole life and have found a passion for caring for animals with the same love you have for them! I specialize in cats of all ages and dogs over the age of one. I've had about 5 years of experience in working with anxious dogs who are scared of everything - very used to taking a long time to grt scaredy dogs outside. With that, I'm very experienced in delivering medications or cleaning up messes. I understand how stressed our fur babies feel when we need to leave them and my main goal is to make them as comfortable as absolutely possible. I work full time Monday-Friday but do have some work from home days during the week. I would be more than happy to visit your home during the day for walks or quick take outs! I am also happy to come visit you and your fur babies at anytime to get a better idea of your schedule. I am working on getting Fear Free certified and would be more than happy to provide that certification once acquired. I would be happy to crate your pets if needed. I'll send plenty of photos and updates throughout my visit!
“Kelsey is fantastic! Kind, courteous, caring and communicative. Plus, our sweet senior kitty loves her - what more could we ask for? We highly recommend Kelsey and will book with her for a return visit. Thank you, Kelsey! We are grateful for you.”

About: I have had big dogs at home my whole life! I am going to medical school in the fall and would love to make some extra money taking care of your furry friends! I have a bachelors degree, have experience raising puppies, and taking care of senior dogs! I have dog sat many times for friends and family. I am free most days after May 1st! I am available anytime of day for walks, drop ins, and pet sitting. I don’t have any limits on the time you’d like me to stay with your pet! I have a car and can easily drive within the Columbus area. I am very active and can lift/ carry/ walk dogs of any size! I am willing to walk or play as much as necessary meet your dog’s enrichment needs!
“Danielle was great! She took good care of our two dogs over the weekend. One of which is a deaf rescue who is often leery of strangers. They both warmed right up to her. She sent photos/videos and notes at each visit and you could see that our pups were happy and at ease. I would definitely recommend her services to others and we will use her again in the future! Thanks Danielle! El Jay and Chris Richards”
About: I grew up taking care of friends and neighbors pets while they're on vacations and still do. Our family adopted a cat named Lisa in 2023, and I love taking care of animals. I currently have plenty of time over the summer to do pet care since I'm on break from college. I also mow lawns for people around Worthington, but am easily able to decide what times I want. I stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special instructions, so they feel at ease. I focus on keeping pets in their familiar environment to reduce stress, and make sure the home stays secure and tidy.
About: Whether you need your dog to go for a nice long walk, have some outside playtime in the yard, or just belly rubs and pets so that they feel love, I am able to do all of it. Being a mom to an 9 month old pup of my own, I have puppy training and experience fresh in my mind. I will happily work on any skills you are trying to instill in your pup. I work full-time from home, but I am always available evenings and weekends for drop-in visits or boarding. For the right pup, weekly boarding is also available. I have a large fenced in yard to accommodate pups of all sizes and ages. I have a very friendly and playful pup of my own who will happily engage with your pup while here. If your pup enjoys privacy or quiet time in a crate, I can also accommodate that. I have multiple crate sizes as well as gates to block off areas when needed.
“Fantastic..its an uncomfortable feeling having a stranger in my home but she came to my house to introduce herself & i very comfortable with her taking care of my baby...this is the 1st time ive had a unknown person watching my pup so im a little anxious because bailey is 18 & i worry when i leave him...we both hav separation anxiety..lol but i feel less anxious..which means alot..kyra is a wondeful person & i know she took excellent care if bailey!”

“Emily is awesome!! This was my first time using Rover or any other pet sitting service, as I’ve always used friends. She took the time to come by to me my cats and I beforehand, and I really appreciated that!! I will definitely be contacting her for all of our upcoming trips.”

“Gina is amazing!! I cannot say enough positive things. Our wild little kitten had just gotten his cast off after recovering from a bad broken leg and was barely putting weight on it. I was in a panic having to leave town unexpectedly and she put my mind at ease and took care of him like her own. She gave him his meds, spoon fed him his food as he was struggling to eat in his cone and kept him out of trouble, which isn’t an easy task. Gina truly went above and beyond and we are very grateful.”

“I cannot recommend Jessica highly enough for anyone looking for excellent care for their critters. She truly went above and beyond during her visits, more than just feeding and litter. Her updates were detailed, the photos were so cute, and she took the time to understand my cats’ personalities and made sure they felt comfortable and loved while I was away. I returned home to relaxed, happy pets and a perfectly kept house. Her professionalism and genuine affection for animals are amazing. Thank you for taking care of the monsters while I was away, Jessica! 🙂”

“Marie did a fantastic job with Snippet and Milky Way. She played with them both every day when visiting, and she was very communicative both before and during her stay.”

About: Welcome to my profile! My name is Emily. I am a wife, a pediatric nurse & newly a mom to a beautiful baby girl. I also have two silly cats named Greta & Beatrice. My life has always involved animals. I grew up with several cats & dogs in my home and love both of them! I am reliable, attentive, and treat every pet with the same care I would give my own. I have hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets who need medication or extra attention. I stick to your routines, watch for the little details, and keep you in the loop with updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy. Hope to hear from you soon & work closely with you and your fur baby! I’m currently on maternity leave with my new baby girl! When I return to work at the hospital in September it will be very part time, so I will have plenty of time to walk, watch or check in on your pets! I am able to be flexible with you & your pets routine! I am happy to come to your home to check in on your pets or walk your dog!
“Kristen was our sitter for our first time using Rover and she was wonderful. She read through my small novel of care instructions (lol) and followed them all, no problem. We had daily updates and pictures, and total peace of mind. So glad for her help!”

About: I have dog sat for my bestfriends dog for 7 years. I have walked him, fed him, played with him, and stayed overnight with him. I work fulltime 7 a.m.-3:30 p.m Monday- Friday. So I could come shortly after that time if needed. I don’t work on the weekends so I could come at any time if I’m available. I can do one visit Monday- Friday. I do not offer care in my home because I have a small apartment and 2 pets. I will make sure to create a safe environment and build trust when entering someone’s home.
“Meghana filled in for our regular petsitter with our two senior chihuahuas who are pretty skittish with everybody, and not only was able to get them comfortable with her quickly, but even got to sit with and pet them (which they will rarely let US do)!”

Worthington dog parents share their Rover experiences
I feel so comfortable having Lea dog sit when I’m away. She is incredibly attentive, generous, loving, communicative, and responsible. I am so grateful whenever she is available to help, because I know I don’t have to worry about a thing while I’m away, and my dogs will be overjoyed to spend time with her! Highly recommend!!

I just hope the next time I need pet care, Chloe is available. The service she provides has always put my mind at ease every time she watched my dog. For several weeks, she was reliable, timely, flexible, and incredibly accommodating to my puppy’s needs. I can’t speak highly enough about the exceptional care she provides—from the pictures and updates to the prompt and consistent communication. I truly appreciate everything she has done and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for outstanding pet care.

We can’t say enough good things about Mallory and the care she provided for our two dogs. This was our first time using Rover. She was very responsive and kept us updated after every visit, which gave us great peace of mind. Mallory was especially amazing with our rescue dog, who can be aggressive and anxious at times—she handled him with patience and calm, and he really responded to her.
