About: I am an experienced dog walker and I have experience with all different breeds and sizes. I am a veterinarian assistant and because of that I am knowledgeable of what puppies need and how it differs from what adult dogs need. If your dogs depend on a medication I am willing to do so as well I do work full time but have off days during the week and plenty of time before and after work to make sure they are getting the care they need I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to help keep your baby entertained. If needed I can easily crate your dog as well
“Dawn is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! We are so happy to have found her and can’t wait to have her visit our baby in the future. ? She texted photos throughout the day and kept us up to date along the way. Thank you for loving our dog like your own!”
“Polina did an amazing job watching our dog Cuddles for a week. We received pictures and videos daily. We returned to a happy dog who loves Polina. Thank you so much Polina, you are amazing and we are looking forward to book you again, so does Cuddles 😊”
“Michayla is fabulous. My pup has a special diet and takes medicine and Michayla always does what is needed. Lou gets excited whenever she comes to care for him. Highly recommend!”
“Brooklyn was the best and took such good care of our pups! She bought our dogs toys, took them for walks, and sent updates everyday with lots of pictures. I would highly recommend her!”
“Alex is a fantastic pet sitter. The instructions for my senior cat can be a bit complicated - Alex took care of her and our golden retriever so well. Highly recommend. She left our house the way we left it, was very communicative, and trustworthy person.”
“Blair took wonderful care of our dogs and home. She went above and beyond, with last minute changes and a medically complex dog. Would recommend to anyone that is normally reticent to leave their pups behind.”
About: I have loved being around dogs big or small since I was a little girl! I have been a paid sitter for family friends for the last 2 years. Right out of high school in 2021, I started working for a dog daycare for almost a year and it was my favorite job ever! I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I am a hairstylist and I am self employed so I make my own schedule. I work Monday through Thursday 10-7 (sometimes Fridays and Saturdays 10-5). Depending on my client schedule, I can take breaks so I can take your dog(s) out to potty or feed them. I work in Florence, Ky. I can make plenty of time for your pups throughout the week! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I know pets feel happiest when they can stay in their own home and stick to their normal routine. I’ll carefully follow all care instructions, keep your home clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to treating both your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own.
“We recently entrusted our beloved Pomeranian, Bear, to Sean for the second time, and once again, we couldn't be more pleased with his exceptional service. Sean cared for Bear and our home for a full 10 days, and his attention to detail and level of care were truly impressive. From the moment Sean arrived, it was evident that Bear was in capable hands. Sean's dedication to ensuring Bear's well-being and happiness was unwavering, and it's no surprise that he is consistently in high demand. One aspect of Sean's service that particularly stood out to us was his excellent communication. Throughout Bear's stay, Sean kept us updated with regular messages and sent us pictures, which provided us with peace of mind and reassurance. Additionally, we had several packages delivered during our absence, and Sean, upon our request opened them and keep us informed. As senior pet owners, it's crucial for us to entrust Bear to someone we can rely on completely, and without a doubt, Sean has proven himself to be that person. We have absolute confidence in his abilities as a pet sitter, and we highly recommend him to anyone seeking top-tier care for their furry companions. Thank you, Sean, for your exceptional service and for providing Bear with such a wonderful experience. We look forward to booking with you again in the future.”
About: I’ve cared for newborn puppies on multiple occasions, so I’m no stranger to tiny paws and big responsibility. I bring patience, love, and plenty of cuddles to every pet I care for. Caring for pets is part of my normal day-to-day life. I enjoy building my routine around their needs, whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or extra cuddle time. My own pets are cared for with a mix of routine, enrichment, and lots of love (okay… maybe a little spoiling). I stay attentive to their needs, moods, and habits, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I sit.
“Ashley did a great job watching our pups. Communication was fantastic… pics and texts, as we’d discussed up front. She even checked on our chickens when the weather became unseasonably warm! Thanks Ashley!”
About: Hi! I’m Sydney, and I love working with animals. I’m responsible, caring, and patient, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’ve had hands-on experience sitting, volunteering and shadowing in animal care settings, which helped me learn more about pet behavior, handling, and daily care. I’m comfortable following routines, paying attention to details, and giving each pet the care they need. I do work part-time so I will have some availability throughout the week and on weekends, making it easy to provide check-ins, feeding, playtime, and lots of care for your pets. I treat every pet like my own and always follow the owner’s instructions. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and care.
About: I have had many animals! From reptiles, to chinchillas all the way to dogs & cats I’ve had a lot of experience with many different pets. I am a big animal person! As a first time cat mom I fully understand how important it is to have a pet sitter who helps you feel secure in leaving your fur babies with them. Not only am I a trustworthy person, I’m very attentive to detail and reliable. I’m currently unemployed, doing odd jobs like dog sitting, house cleaning, and babysitting. Therefore, I would have PLENTY of time to play with your fur babies!! We have plenty of cat toys your cats can play with, including 2 cats! Our cats are very pet friendly and love having new friends to play with. We also have dogs who are very friendly and love to run and play! I can take your pets on walks, play with them, and more!
About: I’ve always grown up with pets around, specifically dogs. Through my lifetime I’ve taken care of dogs with separation anxiety, older dogs, and very active dogs too. I believe that every dog has a special personality and they all deserve personalized care. So I will take in special care request that you know of, and also observe the dog so I care and play with it in the best way! I’m excited to work with you and your furry friends :) I have a pretty open schedule and availability! I can board on a Saturday night to Sunday morning, but I’m not available Sunday nights to Monday morning! I have a dog park in my apartment and share a dog with my sister so your furry friend will have some company. I also have some complement toys, treats, and a spare cage if needed!
“We are new to the Cincinnati area, and finding a new pet sitting can be quite daunting. We are so fortunate to have had AJ take care of our 3 papillons and house for the past week. During the meet and greet, my 3 liked AJ immediately. He is a good communicator and very conscientious. We received several updates, and found our dogs happy and healthy upon our return. He also kept our house very tidy. We will definitely book AJ when we need pet sitting in the future. 5☆”
“Emma was amazing! She followed my very detailed instructions perfectly and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She sent lots of pictures and updates, left my house spotless, and even noticed that my older dog seemed a little off. She let me know right away and kept a close eye on him, which I really appreciated. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I will absolutely use Emma again without a doubt. Highly recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,046 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Carntown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Carntown walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Carntown maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Carntown choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
