“Jonathan was super responsive and willing to do a meet and greet with us. Our dog can be nervous around bigger dogs, so this was really helpful. We were able to do a short 3-hour daycare soon after and really appreciated all of the updates that Jonathan shared throughout Penny's visit. Thanks, Jonathan!”

About: I have been a pet owner all my life and always have had a passion for animals growing up. I have been professionally pet sitting for many years now. I have 2 rescue dogs named Gemma and Ollie who I absolutely adore. I enjoy what I do and would be happy to watch your fur babies! I do accounting during the day but work from home so I have plenty of time to care and play with your pups! I have flexible drop off and pick up times too because of working remotely.

About: I have been a pet owner all my life and I love both dogs and cats. Recently retired and welcome the opportunity to pet sit for you. I’m retired from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital where I sub specialize in Ophthalmology. So now instead of caring for babies I care for fur babies and I love it. Being retired allows me the time and care that is important in providing the attention that is required for your pet. I welcome the opportunity to help you with all your pet’s day care and boarding needs. I am now available for day care 7 days a week. So if you are in need of day care while at work or any other reason I would be happy to accommodate you and your pet. My yard is fenced in and I love spending time outside with your pet playing or just relaxing in the glorious sunshine. By nature I’m a walker so if your dog likes to walk I can provide 2-3 walks daily. Watching your pet would be a welcomed addition to my daily routine. Being retired allows me the opportunity to devote 100% of my time focusing on caring for your pet. Your pet would be well cared for loved and respected. I provide a loving safe clean calming environment for your pet.
About: My wife and I have always had dogs, and they have always been an extremely important part of our lives. We lost our dog Miles a few months ago, and we have made the decision that before we get another dog of our own, we'd like to try boarding dogs for a while, to give us an opportunity to bring that love and companionship back to our home while providing a service to the community, in a place where you know your dog will be safe, receive tons of individual attention, and lots of love. I work at home full-time, so I am always around to provide some attention to pets as I have for many years. It's easy for me to take breaks most anytime to allow the dog to get outside and take care of their business, or just give them some love and attention that they need. I want to care for your dog the way the owner would like, so I will take the lead from the instructions of the owner. We have a nice backyard, and we are in an area that is perfect for walking a dog on a leash. Additionally, there are several dog parks in the area that we can take your dog to if that is something you're interested in.
“Leeann was amazing with a last minute booking and being so flexible on drop off and pick up times. Thank you for finding a calm room for her to stay where she was comfortable too!”

“Rebecca and her husband were wonderful! I immediately felt comfortable in there home! Jackz our dog is blind and Rebecca was not only willing but happy to help us and Jackz out!”

“Jenny and her family were amazing!! They took care of my dog like he was their own. He had so much fun and didn’t want to leave. Jenny also sent me awesome pictures of all the fun he was having. Thank you so much!”

About: I've had a dog since the day I was born when my parents were given a beagle puppy as a wedding gift. I'm partial to beagles for that reason, but love all breads. Being retired, I'm especially fond of my senior pups, but equally enthused with little pups. I am retired and able to be flexible with my schedule. Your pet will not go unattended in my care. Several parks are within easy walking distance. I have a corner lot, completely fenced in a quiet neighborhood without a through drive. No speedy cars or traffic. Conveniently located near several parks.
“Dottie goes to Emma’s all day, 3 days a week and just loves it! She gets so excited as soon as we pull in the driveway! Emma is responsive, helpful, kind, gentle and great with my little dog!”

Alexandria dog parents share their Rover experiences
Great sitter! Jobe was very communicative and flexible since we were using Rover to care for our pup while attending a friend’s wedding out of state. It worked out great because while we were able to have fun and relax with friends on a special day, Kouvr was having the time of her life with Jobe and his girlfriend and his other Rover pets! Bonus of her being exhausted and ready for bed after a day and a half trapped in a car/hotel room. 10/10!
