“Saul is the best! He took such great care of our dogs. Gave them treats, belly rubs, and made sure their needs were met. Even cleaned up one of our dogs after an accident. He was very respectful of our home and neighborhood. Also, such a wonderful person.”
About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I’ve owned animals from guinea pigs, dogs, cats, a chinchilla, hamsters, etc. I am available to help care for your pets in any way you need! I am a full time college student so I will update my calendar each month. My schedule on weekdays will vary a little bit and I am very flexible on the weekends for whatever your needs may be! I can adapt to whatever your specific needs may be. Each family is different and their animals needs are different as well so I am willing to learn your ways!
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for cats and extensive experience with dogs of all ages, I provide attentive and loving pet care. I’m comfortable administering medications (oral, SubQ, IM) and can handle everything from bathing and walking to drop-ins. Friends and family often rely on me for their pets' needs, knowing they’ll receive the best care while they’re away. I’m currently available every day for your pet sitting, walking, and drop-in needs. I live in the Norwood/Oakley area and love getting my steps in while ensuring your pets have the support they need while you’re away! Your pets will be in excellent hands with me. Our home features a small, secure yard and hardwood floors with HVAC for their comfort. If your pet is crate-trained, we’re happy to use their crate. Our neighborhood offers fantastic walking routes, ensuring plenty of exercise and exploration. Rest assured, safety and trust are my top priorities, and your pets will enjoy a cozy and caring environment while you’re away.
“Rowan loves dogs, and my dog loves her. She is on time, flexible, happy a dog and fur babies best friend. She sends photos, and accurately shares updates on my pups time with her. Looking forward to our next walk. So is Gabby, the goldendoodle :)”
About: Hello! I recently relocated back home to Cincinnati after graduate school. I love animals, they are such gems and have been a Rover sitter for over 7 years.

I am very caring, calm, and patient and will make sure your pets feel well loved throughout our time together.

I have availability during the weekdays (usually mornings and evenings work well, afternoons on some days) and weekends! I can work to fit your pets schedule. I love to hear from the owner the animals typical schedule/routine and keep them as close to that as possible. Pet and owners living space safety and maintenance is very important to me. I pride myself on my observant nature, attention to detail, and trustworthiness. I am also a plant enthusiast and can help with home care tasks.
About: Hi! I'm Olivia, a 20-year-old pet lover with years of experience caring for all kinds of cats and dogs. As a personal trainer, I have flexible hours that work when others can't, so your furry friend will get plenty of attention when they need it most. I'm friendly, kind, and dedicated to providing the best care possible for your pets, ensuring they feel safe and loved while you're away! With being a personal trainer, I work the hours that typically office employees do not! So when you are at work I am able to check in on your furry friends and keep them company!! With having experience with many dogs and cats, I always make sure to read the animal first before approaching to make sure to have them as comfortable as possible! I always make sure my cats and dogs have had enough attention, love, walks, food, treats, and more to make them the happiest they can be!
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with senior pet care and experienced with administering medications, including injections. I take pride in reading animal body language, knowing when they need space, and building trust at their pace. Whether it’s a nervous cat, an excitable puppy, or a gentle giant, I meet each animal with patience, calm energy, and genuine care. I work fully remote from home with an extremely flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s regular walks, medication schedules, or just being a calming presence for pets who need companionship, I can adapt my routine to meet a wide range of needs. I treat all animals as I would my own fur babies, with love, attention and respect. In my home, pets are free to roam in a safe, puppy-proof environment, with baby gates used as needed for comfort or boundaries. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I take the time to understand each owner’s preference and routines, ensuring their pets feel secure and cared for just as they would be by their family/
“My poodle is not quite 2 years old and full of energy. I’m recovering from surgery and Maria is doing a great job practicing commands he learned from trainer. Friendly, adaptable, dependable, and good communicator Maria is terrific walker. Topaz loves walking with her .”
About: I have 3 years of experience volunteering at an animal shelter where I walk, feed, and spend quality time with dogs, as well as cleaning their kennels. I love spending time with furry friends! I am looking to incorporate pet care into my life primarily on the weekends. I am also available some evenings during the week. I work from 9-5 during the week (Mon-Thurs) and I am not available for pet care at that time. I will care for pets in clients’ homes by following the clients’ directions and wishes. I am mainly looking to walk dogs or care for cats and will do that in the clients neighborhood or an alternative location.
About: My experience goes back to being the go-to walker for our family dog as a kid to minding my cat today. It’s not unusual for me to meet a dog or cat and become acquainted in minutes I work from home with a flexible schedule. Therefore, I can be on-call at various times. I’m also used to fitting pet care for my cat into my daily routine. I make sure to follow all instructions laid out by the pet parent and get clarification wherever necessary, as well as communicate any issues that may arise.
About: I began pet-sitting for friends and family when I was 16. Once I became a professional housekeeper, my clients loved for me to housesit while they were away (with the added benefit of a clean house upon their return). Now that I have my own fur family, I'm unable to housesit for long stretches. Life has taught me to be adaptable and to be ready for curveballs thrown my way. I've given dogs medication, cared for aging pets, and cleaned many a puddle and turd with love and understanding. Twice I was bitten by a nervous dog, which triggered a fear response to dogs suddenly approaching me. That experience only increased my love for dogs, and I was able to train my body to react calmly, rebuilding that trust. Dogs love us unconditionally, we must return the favor! I'm self-employed with a variable schedule, so it's easy for me to add a walk or drop-in. Caring for animals enhances my life, so including your pets in my day is a win-win-win situation. I can't have your pet at my house (cats of my own). In a client's home, I balance the needs of the pet with boundaries set by the client (for example, dogs allowed only in certain rooms). I'm happy to follow your instructions out of respect, of course, but also because consistency is needed for encouraging good behavior and the well-being of the pet.
About: I first began caring for dogs professionally with my mother eight years ago. But have been a pet parent much longer. In those eight years I have, watched, walked, played with, groomed and given more animals than I can count, my absolute best. I hope to continue to do so for many more years. I am free for both days and nights 7 days a week. I am free to fit many furry friends into that schedule. I can offer a wide range of services as well. My care starts by getting to know an animal and all its unique needs. I have a flexible schedule so I am able to best meet an animals already established routine. I keep homes tidy and when doing home stays I actually stay so that the animals feel safe and cared for. I also keep my spaces tidy so there are no messes for pet parents to worry about. I will usually insist on meeting any animals before hands so that they are familiar with me, whether it's just for a walk, or for a stay or drop in at their home.
“This was our first time to use Peter & we will definitely be using him again. He responded in a very timely manner, was prompt & sent pictures of the walk. We felt that Schubert was in great hands!”
About: I have worked in both a small animal general practice and emergency veterinary setting as a veterinary assistant. I recently finished an internship where I worked at an equine clinic as a veterinary assistant. I will be starting Vet school in the fall of 2024 and I recently graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Animal Science from the University of Vermont. I am currently back home until I start school in August, so I have availability during the day and at night. I can let the pets out whenever. I have experience with all different kinds of animals - from horses to cows to chihuahuas. I grew up with German Shepherds and love big and small dogs. I have experience in a clinical sense with animals of all different needs.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was six years old! I have fed, bathed, walked, and scooped after dogs of all ages and sizes and would love to take care of your furry friend! I am a current grad student and part time worker with a very flexible schedule - I would be available for morning, midday, and evening check-ins throughout the week and weekend as well as overnight stays. I am comfortable around dogs of all sizes and taking walks in all environments - as well as willing to drive! Located near Burnet Woods and would love to take your pooch for a hike.

Aleah T.
“Aleah is an amazing pet/house sitter! We have used Aleah several times for weekends up to a full week. We have an 8 year old Yorkie that is super reactive, and who needs a lot of attention. We also have a 15 year old cat that is a bit timid. Both animals require medications. Aleah has done a great job administering their meds. Aleah has proven to be reliable. Our pets respond to her very well. Our house is always in good condition upon our return. I highly recommend Aleah for pet/house sitting or dog walking.”

Elizabeth B.

All the animals were immediately comfortable with her; she managed our two dogs (one of which is reactive to other digs) on walks like a pro; and she was very communicative, sending updates and pictures on regular basis. She even forwarded packages that we needed along the trail! We couldn’t have been happier with her, and we wouldn’t hesitate hire her again.”
Sheila I.Star Sitter
“Sheila is the best pet sitter that we’ve ever had. Our two dogs have never had a better pet sitter. Sheila is like the female dog whisperer. My dogs learned to recognize the sound of her car and when she would turn onto our street they would run and sit at the door and wag their tails anxiously awaiting her. Sheila treats our dogs like they’re her children. And the best part is whenever she comes the dogs are so well behaved she has been able to work out several behavioral problems which have helped us be happier dog owners. When she moved to Cincinnati, it was a real loss. Our dogs miss her. She was like a member of the family. Sheila, please move back to Philadelphia we miss you.”

Emma is. very professional, punctual, and responsible. I cannot say enough about Emma. I trust her completely.”
Reed C.
“Reed has taken care of my two rabbits while I was out of town. Reed did a great job of visiting them in a timely manner, monitoring their behavior for any changes, and sending text and photo updates. They also made sure to ask questions when there was even the hint of ambiguity. I fully trust Reed with the bunbuns and highly recommend them to other pet owners.”
