“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From as soon as we met Drew we saw his love for animals and how my dogs immediately took to him. He was extremely responsive and amazing to work with. Would highly recommended him!”

“Sheila was great! I’ve never used Rover before and never left our pets with someone other than family. Sheila came for a meet and greet before we finalized the booking (I was afraid our wild pups might scare her off) and all my anxiety was instantly relieved. She is very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. She had great questions and explained her usual process, making it very obvious that she has plenty of experience. I didn’t have any worries about leaving our pets and home in her care. Sheila sent updates and pics during the week and everything was in perfect condition when we got home. I can’t imagine anything that would have made the experience any better! Thank you Sheila!”

I felt very comfortable with her when she came to meet us and the animals.”

About: Before moving to Cincinnati, I worked in many different pet care settings. I worked for a dog walking/sitting company in Nashville known as Preferred Pets, worked as a bather at the Paw Pad in Canton, worked for Pet Valu when I was in college at Kent State, and as a local dog walker in my neighborhood growing up. I’m very dedicated to the wellbeing of any animal I have the privilege of working with and look forward to seeing each and every pet. Every animal gets guaranteed love, attention, exercise, and play when I’m with them. I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, blind dogs, aggressive dogs, shy dogs, excited dogs, and every kind in between. No matter the size, age, temperament, or breed, I always dedicate my entire self to the animals under my care. I work full time 7p-5p M-F so if you need a night time or weekend walker, I’m the one for your pet! I’m always available throughout the nights as well. Throughout my professional experience with dogs I have always put their safety first. This includes knowing the major signs of stress dogs display, and recognizing quick temperament changes. I also have been taught proper ways to walk certain dogs depending on how much of a puller they are!
“Taylor stayed with our dog for two nights over the weekend. She gave her so much love and attention, of course communicating with us throughout her whole stay. Taylor was amazing!”
“Andrew and Evelyn were fantastic with both Beasley and myself. I will use them again and again.”
“Courtney is amazing! She has walked and overnight babysat my dog several times now. I have never had an issue and she is extremely trustworthy. Plan to keep using her for all future needs!”
“Jonae is an absolute gem and so amazing with our puppy! We have a ten week old puppy with a broken leg and she took such great care of him. Not only is she great with him, but she is kind and lovely to chat with!”
“This is the second time Brittany has watched our pets for us and we absolutely love when she's here! She spends lots of time with our guys, makes sure our dog gets out for walks (even when the weather isn't great), and takes incredibly great care of our house! She goes above and beyond to ask if there are things around the house she can help with, like watering plants or getting garbage cans out. We'd love to have her back in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals pretty much my whole life. I have a huge heart bucket for animals. All animals deserve snuggles, hugs, and sunshine. I am looking to make this my main source of income so I’m free according to YOUR schedule which makes this easier! I’m young and can take your pets for runs! My cat and I have a routine, we play a lot and play Tag and fetch with his favorite ball. I feed him 2x a day and then we sit outside from time to time. He roams the apartment and does pretty much whatever.
“Donna is wonderful!! She cared for our 3 dogs and went over and above. Donna made sure our house was looked after like her own home. She gave the dogs lots of love and quality time. We will definitely use her again.”

California pet parents share their Rover experiences
Nina is extraordinary. Her dedication to my dog and her daily photos and messages made leaving my dog in her care much easier than ever. My latest trip was the longest I had ever left my dog in someone’s care and Nina put all my worries to rest. She took excellent care of Delilah and of our home. I couldn’t have asked for more. Even when my return flight was delayed she stayed with Delilah until I finally landed. Nina will now be our regular sitter whenever I travel. She is amazing! Thank you Nina!
Odara has watched our cat and senior dog in our home multiple times, and always does a fantastic job. She's our first choice any time we have to leave town!
Jonae is an absolute gem and so amazing with our puppy! We have a ten week old puppy with a broken leg and she took such great care of him. Not only is she great with him, but she is kind and lovely to chat with!
Couldn’t have anyone better watch our pup and cat!! They were both very communicative and sweet and took the pup on lots of walks! We know they got lots of play time and cuddles and felt 100% comfortable and worry free while we were gone!
Thanks Paula for taking care of our babies while we were away! Paula kept us informed and even accomodated our schedule change! Highly recommend!
