“Alexis was great with communication and did a fantastic job checking on my cats. She was prompt, sent good pictures, and even managed to get close to my shy cat that is afraid of everything.”

About: I grew up in a multi-dog household. I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors and family friends since I was 11! Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I volunteered with an organization for 4 years raising and training service dogs in training. I have experience with puppies as young as 2 weeks (volunteer health checks) all the way to seniors at 15 years old! I also have grown up with cats and have pet sat for cats, so I have experience with cats of all ages as well! I’m currently in school and have classes Mondays from 9:30-1:50 and Tuesdays from 9-10:50. Wednesdays I have class along with a weekly commitment, so I’m unfortunately unavailable. Thursdays-Sundays I’m usually available all day! My experience with training dogs (and dogs in general) has taught me all about reading body language, picking up on their cues, handling them on walks and in the home, along with training basic commands. I am very attentive and will treat your fur baby as my own!
“Lauren and Wynn took great care of my two pups for the day. Both dogs were happy when we arrived home later that evening. We will definitely book them again!”

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with two of my own a 7-year-old Golden Retriever and a 3-year-old Lab/Aussie mix. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have years of experience dog sitting. I treat every dog like family and am comfortable with all breeds and energy levels. Whether your pup needs playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to help! I'm a graduate student at Xavier University with a flexible schedule. I’m available for walks or check-ins throughout the day and can also stop by in the evenings after class. With my experience and having dogs of my own I am able to ensure dog safety and that their needs are met. I will also treat your dogs as if they are my own.
“Allison did a great job completing home visits with my two dogs! It made my nights so much easier having her come over to hang out with the dogs for 30 minutes. Very flexible and has great communication.”
“Corey is the best! He has been regularly dropping in on my two pups for a few weeks now and they absolutely love him. He is reliable, punctual, and just has a kind and calming presence. He knows and understands dogs well, and that experience shows. I would trust him with my pets any day!”

About: I will provide the "home away from home." So you can focus on work or your own vacation. Caution: They may be returned to you spoiled. I’m retired and will make it a top priority to give love and attention to my furry guests. Potty breaks every 2-3 hours. I am currently only watching dogs 15 lbs. and below. Fenced in on two decks and a small side yard. *** additionally we use pee pads in our living room. Opportunities to “go”. 2 fenced decks with AstroTurf potty area Small fenced area in side yard. ***pee pads are currently provided in the living room.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and worked as a dog walker throughout college for four years. I’ve fostered nine cats, three of whom I loved so much they became permanent members of my family. These days I share my home with three cats and my shihpoo, Peanut, so I understand pets from every angle — but I care for clients in their own home, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or house-sitting. Your pet stays comfortable in their own space while getting attentive, experienced care. I structure my days around my pets, so caring for yours fits naturally into my routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding, and I keep a flexible schedule that lets me give your pet real attention rather than a rushed visit. Weekday mornings and evenings are usually open, along with some weekends. Since I care for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible — sticking to their regular feeding, walk, and sleep schedule so there’s minimal disruption. My experience with three cats, a shihpoo, and nine foster cats means I’m comfortable reading animal body language, handling multi-pet households, and following specific instructions for feeding, medication, or behavioral needs.

“Megan was so great! She offered to come over to meet before hand to learn everything about our cats. She did such a great job with our cats and sent us pictures everyday. It was so relieving to have someone we can trust with our home and cats while we were away. Thank you!!!”

About: I've had one dog, one guinea pig, two hamsters, and three cats in my day- and I've loved every second of having each one of them. I've been pet-sitting for family members since I was 13 (including dogs, cats, and rabbits). I am not shy about grooming, medications, accidents, or any other tasks for needy animals! I currently am looking for a new full-time job, so my schedule is fairly free. I am available to work weekends, extended stays, or simply a night to free up a tight schedule! I prefer a day notice to booking care, but am flexible given the situation. If working an extended or multi-day stay, I will have to leave twice a day to feed, groom, and otherwise take care of my cat, Butter. I like to know the habits your animals are used to so I don't disturb their routine; e.g. feeding times, litter box cleaning/ potty breaks, walk schedules, grooming schedules, etc. I understand the importance of stability and security to a pet and their owner and do my absolute best to maintain their regularly scheduled care, while they adjust to a new human in their safe space.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have my own two cats currently. My childhood dog had epilepsy and was on medicine multiple times a day and I was his caretaker to help my family with their work schedules. I give my kitties love first try big in the morning but before I leave I feed them and scoop the box. I make sure to play with them before bed so they have activity and get their energy out. I let my cats free roam while I’m away for the day but I grew up with a crate trained dog. I’ve pet sat for friends before who have restrictions where their pet goes and I’ve been able to follow their directions.
“Tori took great care of my kitties! I returned from a trip to find my house and pets well cared for, clean, and happy. Thanks for putting in the time and cuddles and I appreciate the terrific communication!”

“I’m so glad my daughter recommended I try rover.com. Kristina kept me very well informed, loved on my doggies, brushed and cuddled them, sent pictures and gave me peace of mind. She’s a very dependable young lady and I will use her every time from now on. She not only walked, fed, cleaned up after, but hung out with my dogs. she even swept my floors, I came home to my house cleaner than it was when I left it! I can’t say enough good things about Kristina. (She’s also a good artist, she left a couple of drawings of the dogs which were really good! )”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. I’ve been watching and caring for pets for friends, family, and others since I was around 12 years old. My experience includes overnight stays, daily pet sitting, dog walking, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I also have a little pup of my own named Gus, and he’s a weenie dog! 🐶 He’s definitely my best little buddy, and having him has given me even more experience with the day-to-day care, routines, and attention that dogs need. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, cuddles, and love. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of your pets, and I’m happy to provide updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable while you’re away! Pet care fits really well into my daily schedule! I have a flexible schedule and am available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and overnight stays. Since I have my own dog, Gus, I’m used to keeping a consistent routine and making sure pets get the care and attention they need. I’m happy to work with each owner to follow their pet’s normal schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of cuddles. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in their home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and medications if needed. I’m also happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can know how your pet is doing while you’re away!

“Go Anna B! You are wonderful! I truly appreciated you watching after my favorite gal, Derby. I hope you can work with me some in the future. So happy with your care !”

About: We are a husband-and-wife pet-sitting team with a deep love for animals. Frank worked at the Cincinnati Zoo as a big cat keeper and has additional experience in veterinary hospitals and clinics, giving him strong animal-handling and care skills. Aubrey has over eight years of patient-facing healthcare experience, which means staying calm under pressure, carefully observing behavior, and assessing health needs. While animals are not patients, those skills translate well to attentive, responsible pet care. We are an active couple who love spending time outdoors and going on walks. Whether your pet needs extra patience and gentle care in their senior years or has the energy of a young pup who loves long walks and playtime, we would be excited and honored to care for them as our own. We are happy to spend weekends with your pets and give them lots of attention and companionship. During the week, we do have work commitments, but we are never away for more than about 3–4 hours at a time and are home every evening and overnight. Your pet will always have consistent care, supervision, and plenty of love. We provide a safe, calm home with no other pets, ensuring a stress-free environment. Our home includes a large yard and is located in a very walkable neighborhood, making daily exercise and outdoor time easy and enjoyable. If a pet is unable to navigate stairs, we also have an easily accessible basement that allows them to move comfortably without needing to climb.
“Cathy was great with my cats. My shy cat even came around to her. She communicated with me daily while on vacation. I was able to enjoy my vacation so much more knowing my cats were well taken care of.”

“Gabby did GREAT handling my two big babies! They loved her and I had no issues. I will for sure be rebooking Gabby when I need help in the future. Thanks again!”

Devynne is the best! She sits for my parents as well and we are all so lucky to have her care for and love our animals while we are away. She clearly cares for animals deeply and I never had to worry while we were gone. She is kind, communicative, gentle, and patient. Followed instructions to a T and kept us in the loop every step of the way. Took perfect care of our 3 kitties and I can't imagine trusting anyone else now. Amazing pet sitter and a good person. Thank you Devynne! :-)
