Alexis did a great job. Maddy is an anxious dog. Alexis was patient with her and took really good care of her. The house looked great when we got home! 😃❤️

Could not ask for a better pet sitter, Bethany took exceptional care of our two dogs while we were on a four day trip. Kept us continually updated, Porche and Lexi were in great hands, loved the care she provided and Bethany kept us updated on their status throughout. Her attention to details and care of both pets and home were exceptional. We will be a repeat customer - Thank You

Shanon was great! You can tell she’s definitely comfortable around animals. She had our skittish pups eating out of her hand (literally) the first night she was at our house. I never felt like I was bothering her with my questions or extra “forgot to mentions” and trusted completely that she would reach out with any questions or concerns. Our vacation was so enjoyable knowing our pups and kitties were safe at home and in good hands. I would recommend Shannon without hesitation!

This is the third time Savannah has watched Reggie. He recently had IVDD surgery which called for him to have a bit of extra care. Her experience in animal behavior and working at a vets office really gives her an edge for assisting him. I know I can always put my full trust in Savannah with Reggie’s care.

Blair stayed in our home and watched our two sister kitties for 4 nights/5 days. Prior to her stay, she was an excellent communicator and asked lots of good questions. During the visit, she kept in regular contact, sending photos and updates, and left the house in great shape. I appreciate that this is Blair's profession, and she takes this work seriously. I would happily book her again and highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.

About: I've had pet since my earliest memories. On top of caring for pets of my own, including cats, dogs, reptiles, arachnids, and more, I also fostered animals in southern Indiana for 5+ years. Now that I'm in the Cincinnati area I want to find a way to help animals again so I joined Rover! I currently work as a contractor for a delivery company so I choose my own hours, this way I have time to fit in the furry friends. I can come any time, day or night! When caring for pets in someones home I always make sure to have a list of things the pet parents want to make sure is done. I also make sure all cabinets and doors are secure before leaving a room, this way pets can't get into anything they shouldn't. When outside with the pups, I always make sure to keep them on the outside away from the road when walking on sidewalks.

About: In my future, i plan to start a rescue for animals in need and are injured. Animals are my best friend and i couldn’t ever imagine being without them. I’ve taken care of 10 dogs most of my life. My parents love animals so i’ve always been around different kind of animals. They currently have 3 bunnies, guinea pigs, 10 cocker spaniels, 1 lab, and 2 cats. When they are away i am the main person to take care of them since they also foster and i’m the oldest kid in the family. I know how to care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments and personalities. I also am experienced in special needs dogs, my parents have a cocker spaniel who has special needs and he’s the sweetest dog i’ve ever met. Me and my girlfriend, jenica do this together. I just recently started a new job at the hospital 40 hours a week so it might mainly be her at drop off or pick up if that’s the case i will let you know! but she is so caring and loving to animals!! she’s cared for many animals like horses, dogs, cats, and fish. she’s like an animal whisperer.. she always knows what the animal wants/needs and always tends to them. she especially knows how to make dogs feel at home. This isn’t a business for us it’s a special place for dogs to be happy and loved while their parents are away. especially to make their owners feel comfortable that their pup is in good hands!! 💛🐶 I had a senior dog , izzy who had cancer and i did my best to make her feel cared for through the time she had left. I really take my time caring for dogs with special needs and who are older, they need fun and love. 🐾 What i offer : • Boarding (Overnight stays) • At your home doggie sitting • Day care • Walking • Drop in visits • Clean, and spacious home • Structured play time, nap time and lovin time • fenced in yard for supervised outdoor play and potty time • A calm living space where pups are free to play and relax • Lots of squeaky toys and stuffed animals 🦴🧸 • 2 walks a day 🐕 if they need more we are happy to provide more walks :) • no crated home (unless your dog is crate trained and their crate is their safe space which we abide by) I understand how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone new. That’s why i am firm on communication. I’ll send you updates, videos and pictures so you can see how much fun their having and be comfortable having them in my hands :) I am home most of the day, there may be a time where i have to run to do an errand like grocery shopping etc. My girlfriend is home all the time so she will be home to take care of your pups. Their safety and well being always comes first 🐶 Im 18 and work from home with my girlfriend. We are available 7 days a week. I have a fully fenced in yard so your pup can play outside and be safe. My home is tidy, and very clean. We make sure everything is put away. We know how it is to have a pup that likes to put everything in their mouth so we make sure to vacuum and mop. I live in a quiet little neighborhood. My house is a very spacious 4,000 square foot home and it was a church before it was turned into a house so it’s very unique. I have a cocker spaniel and a brittany mix, they are both very sweet and love new company. My brittany is 15 so he kinda just lays around but my cocker spaniel is 3 so she loveeesss to play.

About: Hi, I’m Katie. I’m a college student and I don’t have many years of experience, but I’m looking to gain some. I’m probably the biggest pet person you’ll ever meet and I hope I can help you and your dog or cat. I currently am a college student and I don’t have a summer job or anything so I’m just looking for something to do on the side and keep me busy and something that will fit my schedule while also enjoying time with animals I have a fenced in yard with a boxer half lab who is very friendly with medium to small size dogs and does well with cats. I’m looking to make sure the owner is happy but even more to make sure their pet is happy.

Lux did a fantastic job watching my senior pup while I was away. He kept in touch daily with updates & photos to show my dog was in good hands. He was also flexible to accommodate my living situation & my dog’s needs. AND he left my place spotless after — so nice to come home to that!! Would definitely book again!

Jordan met my pets before house sitting. I could tell right away that he was interested in my 2 dogs and a cat. He got down on their level and rubbed ears and neck exactly as they prefer. He was wonderful even doing little chores around the house unasked but very appreciated. All my pets are on meds and he managed them without difficulty even my cat’s ear med. Usually when I get home, my cat cries for a day as she is so happy to be back on her routine with me. This time she hardly peeped, letting me know that Jordan had been a pretty good substitute. I really wish I could keep Jordan a secret but I guess I need to share how good he is.

Angela did a fantastic job caring for my two cats, including administering insulin twice daily for my diabetic cat, maintaining dietary restrictions, and keeping her well-regulated! Both of my cats seemed super happy and relaxed with her, which is no small feat for the more sensitive one. I felt super comfortable leaving them with her and wouldn't hesitate to have her watch them again!

This is our second stay with Allie and we always love having her! We had a long trip out of state this time and it was nice to be able to leave our pups and home to someone we can trust. She’s a great communicator, polite, considerate, and great with our dogs. We’ll keep having her back as long as she’ll have us!

Rachel eased our minds and took wonderful care of her while we were gone for a last minute trip! Rachel was very kind, understanding and easy going. She made the process very easy and painless. She also did a great job communicating with us. We highly recommend Rachel!
