1. Lawrencia C.
“I have used Lawrencia too may times to countand she is awesome. This most recent booking I had so many travel issues due to inclement weather conditions. She was so patient and understanding of my rapidly changing travel plans. Thank you and I truly appreciate you. Cali and Casey love to come visit with you!!!”
2. Jessica M.
“Jessica is caring, kind, friendly, and just loves dogs. She is reliable and trustworthy. It's our pup Sandia's second time with Jessica, and when she saw her, they connected right off the bat, which says a lot about a sitter. Thank YOU!”
3. Amanda M.
“Amanda was super great and caring with my pup! She has a couple very friendly other dogs that love to play and a big back yard with plenty of space to run around. I will be using her again and highly recommend to others!”
4. Cindy R.
“I had the best experience, leaving my dog with Cindy. She was amazing at caring for him and sending me photos and videos along the way. She was also super understanding when I shared that my flight has been canceled and that I needed to book an extra day. She continue to care for my dog, an updated me more along the way as well. Super appreciative of her and can’t wait till the next booking.”

7. Hallie S.
“This was our first experience using Rover. Hallie was wonderful! She treated our pup like her own, keeping us updated. He and her dogs became best friends, and everyday was a playdate! We could not be happier. We look forward to using her again!”
8. Dawn M.
“Dawn was incredible. From the warm welcome upon my last minute business trip in which Atticus couldn’t join. Dawn provided fresh chicken and daily walks and her updates were detailed and lovely. Such a wonderful experience. Will be back. Thank you!”
9. Jordan R.
“There is not a person I would trust more to take care of my fur babies than Jordan. She loves and cares for them like they are her own children and goes above and beyond to make sure their needs are met. I have had Jordan take care of all of our dogs over the 14+ years I have known her and every single one of them has loved her. We even had one fur baby that knew her as “Auntie Jordan” and would get so excited at the mention of her name. So rest assured that your dog will be in the most caring hands and safe, loving environment if they are lucky enough to hang out with Jordan!”
10. Jacob J.
“Jacob and his family are wonderful pet sitters! They had Jükka for five nights and I added another night midway through with zero problems! They were so friendly, communicative, and sent photos and updates multiple times a day. Not a worry in the world as I was six states away because I knew they had it all under control. My dog is a big dog and eats three times a day and they were great with any concerns and following his routine. Jükka came home smelling fresh and is a clean and happy boy. Could not recommend them enough! Jükka will definitely be coming back!”
11. Katie S.
“Katie and her fur baby Ruth were absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for watching our Luna. During the whole stay Katie sent many many updates of pictures and videos which helped put our mind at such ease! Katie having a house with a fenced in yard was a key part that we were looking for and Ruth (her goldendoodle) was such an awesome bonus! Thank you Katie so much and we will truly rebook again if we are in need in the Columbus area!!”
12. Rachel K.
“Rachel was great- she was responsive, sent pictures and updates, and our pup felt right at home with her. I felt more at ease having him in a good home where he could be comfortable and play with other dogs while we were away. We will definitely be reaching out to her again when we need boarding!”
13. Michael L.
“This was Auggie’s second time staying with Michael!! He had so much fun he didn’t want to leave when I picked him up!! Definitely will be having Auggie stay there again :)”
14. Debra A.
“Debra was amazing with my 2 rambunctious fur babies! I've never used a sitter that I didn't know before and was a little nervous but she made me feel much more comfortable at the meet and greet. She took excellent care of them and sent lots of updates throughout the week. My silly 6 month old pup managed to scratch her face on her crate and Debra noticed immediately when it wasn't healing right and spent half a night at the emergency veterinary practice I work at in order for her to get some antibiotics and a cone. Even the veterinarian I work with made a comment to me as to how great of care she took of my pup!”
15. Megan M.
“Megan made sure my puppy was extremely comfortable and I was at ease when I unexpectedly traveled with him last minute. He very tired from all the playtime when I picked him up both days, and excited to go back the second day which was great to see. Thank you!”
16. Sally B.
“Sally was amazing with Luna and Suki. She sent multiple daily updates with photos and videos, baked them homemade treats, exercised them, and gave them lots of love. I felt such at ease leaving them in her care, I will definitely be a repeat customer!”
17. Erika J.
“My senior dog had some separation anxiety issues and Erika was very gracious about it! Will definitely book again the next time I need someone to watch him.”
18. Michele B.
“We were really happy with Micele boarding our Leo and will definitely look forward in future dog boarding. Michele is very flexible in regards to pick up and drop off and we noticed she loves animals and took really good care of Leo!”
19. Ellen F.
“I could not have asked for a better dog sitting experience. I have an older dog and I was very selective about who I left him with on my first vacation away from him. Ellen sent me regular updates and pictures so I could see how he was doing. Her communication was excellent. She accommodated my drop off and pick up times. When she had a request to keep another dog for a couple of days in the middle of my dog’s stay, she contacted me to ask if that would be alright. It seems my dog was very comfortable with her at her place, and I am very grateful for that.”
20. Tess W.
“My rescue pup had a great stay with Tess and her family (pets included). She sent me a bunch of videos and pics throughout Blu’s stay which was very reassuring and great to check in while I was away. I didn’t have to worry about my dog at all because she was so communicative and I could tell Blu was happy from the videos. Very flexible with pick up and drop off arrangements. Will be rebooking for my next trip. :)”
