“Crystal did a terrific job taking care of Toby again! He seems so comfortable with her and settles in quickly. She is very attentive & checks in with me several times a day with photos too. She cleaned up too & my house looks just like when I left. Thanks Crystal! I will book again!”
“Alecia was great. We received daily updates with pictures. Lots of walks and cuddles, and we felt the animals were in great hands. Came home to a clean house. Would fully recommend.”
“Patrice was fantastic housesitting for our elderly dog and young pup for a week. They had great care and Patrice kept us well-informed when one of the dogs didn’t seem to feel well for a day or so. It was a great comfort to have someone who cares so much about animals and their well-being looking after the dogs while we were away!”
“We are so fortunate to have found Kathleen! She cares for our home, two pups, and one guinea pig while we were on vacation for a week. We returned to a clean home and happy pets! Kathleen was great at keeping us updated. We were able to have peace of mind on vacation. We recommend her highly.”
“Nina was so awesome with taking care of our dogs when we went out of town! We have 1 dog that is diabetic along with several other issues and she was great taking care of him which can be a task. Lots of pictures and messages which made us feel super comfortable. Will definitely use again and highly recommend.”
“Suzanne was so good with my high energy dogs. She sent me updates and was thorough! I came home to some happy pups! My house was left in perfect condition! Would definitely call her again!”
“Beth was amazing! Showed up with super short notice and was extremely professional. She was kind and Moses loved her immediately, you could tell that she loves dogs and they love her back. She even walked him twice in a 3 hour dog sit. Highly recommend!”
“I would highly recommend Andrea. Andrea is an amazing pet sitter. She’s a great communicator, and she’s never given us reason to worry about her arriving on time or leaving early. Andrea has stayed in our home several days now and leaves little to no trace that she was there. Our animals love her and she follows all my notes, so they get the best care when I’m away. Because of Andrea, I can take guilt- and worry-free trips.”
“Naika was incredible. Showed up with very short notice, had a great attitude and was so good with our dog. She is kind, professional, competent, and showed up on time. We will definitely hire her again and recommend her highly as well!”
“Eric was incredible. He accepted our last minute request and came over with a great attitude and was very professional. And our dog LOVED him, we could tell right away that Eric is a dog person. Great experience with Eric, would definitely hire again!”
“Elizabeth house sat our two boy cats Finn and Fitz over the Christmas break and was absolutely wonderful! We got amazing pictures and updates that made us feel at ease while we were away. Before Elizabeth left she went above and beyond and cleaned practically our whole house which was very sweet and appreciated. I would definitely recommend her and hope to use her in the future!”
“Rowan did a great job with the pup and the house dispite some crazy weather conditions. The dog was happy and the house was organized when I returned. She was great at communicating and sending updates when I was away.”
“Allison was amazing!! We had a great meet-and-great, and I could tell the pets would love her. She was always super responsive over text, and sent tons of photos of both pets while we were gone. She left our home in great condition afterwards, and I would absolutely book her again!”
“Highly recommend! Kristin was fantastic with our dogs. She is easy to communicate with, very experienced and loving with large rescue dogs, and handled our home and pups with great care. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jessalyn was AMAZING. She was so thorough in taking notes in our meet and greet, and went out of her way to make our dog comfortable without forcing any interaction. She sent regular updates and adorable pictures, and we felt so good knowing Beanie was having a good time. Our dog even ate the first day Jessalyn was there, which isn’t typical when we aren’t home. Knowing she had experience with reactive dogs was also a huge relief. She is an incredible find, and anyone would be fortunate to book her to care for their pets! We have already rebooked!”
“We were happy to find Brooke. She took great care of Tucker while we were away, she sent us pictures and updates twice a day, and left the house in great condition. We would definitely hire her again.”
About: I have loved animals for my entire life— pet therapy is a real thing! Recently I started house and pet sitting and found I loved it because I got to get to know new animals. 💕 I would love the opportunity to get to know yours! I am currently in grad school asynchronously, so it will be no trouble at all for me to come over as often as you need me to! I am also happy to water your plants when you’re gone at no additional cost as well. 😎 I make it a point to know my clients’ animal(s) very well. I am well aware that each animal, whether it is a geriatric cat like my own or a young energetic puppy, has a unique personality and I always accommodate that in my care routine for them. Spending the time with them that they would get with you is key, as well as making sure they get plenty of enrichment. 🐾
“Katie was fantastic! Our fur babies were well taken care of and seemed tired out from their play times with Katie! Thank you so much! We'll be contacting Katie next time we need someone to look after our two trouble makers! 💚”

Carthage pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had an excellent experience with Elizabeth as our house sitter! She took wonderful care of our two dogs (and fish) while we were away for a long weekend, giving us complete peace of mind. Despite our last minute request, she was flexible, reliable, and quick to help, which we truly appreciated. It was clear that our pets were well cared for and loved while we were gone. We are sad to see her leave the Cincinnati area, but we have no doubt she will be just as successful and appreciated in her new community. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter! 5 stars all around!
Patrice is so patient with our sassy, demanding older pup! Her background as a vet tech really puts us at ease, and she’s so willing to keep up all the silly little things we do so that Moochie’s routine stays the same even when we aren’t home. Thank you, Patrice!! 🥰
Eric was incredible. He accepted our last minute request and came over with a great attitude and was very professional. And our dog LOVED him, we could tell right away that Eric is a dog person. Great experience with Eric, would definitely hire again!
Crystal did a terrific job taking care of Toby again! He seems so comfortable with her and settles in quickly. She is very attentive & checks in with me several times a day with photos too. She cleaned up too & my house looks just like when I left. Thanks Crystal! I will book again!
Lauryn took excellent care of Bailey and our home. We had an emergency at the house while Lauryn was watching Nailey overnight. She handle the issue responsiblyy, communicating with us and handling items until my husband could get home. She clearly went above and beyond. I would definitely ask Lauryn to watch Bailey again.
Cara did a fantastic job taking care of our home and dog for a week. Our house was spotless and our dog was so happy and calm when we came home. She is not only responsible and great with communication, she is also a lovely person. She even left us a sweet note. We will definitely use her again!
