Dog Walking In Central Business District

About: Hi! My name is Claire, and I’m someone who has always had dogs growing up — they’ve been a huge part of my life. Now that I’m in school, I really miss having a dog of my own, but I know I don’t currently have the time to fully raise one. That’s actually what drew me to Rover: I get to spend time caring for and loving dogs while also helping owners in my community feel confident their pets are in good hands. I genuinely love dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I take caring for them seriously. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them attention and comfort, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Being in school has taught me how to manage my time responsibly, and pet care is something I truly enjoy rather than see as a chore. I would love the opportunity to help care for your dog (or cat!) and give them the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine because I’m currently in school and have a flexible schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting during weekdays and weekends, and I make sure pets receive consistent attention, playtime, and care throughout the day! I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I carefully follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions, keep environments clean and secure, and make sure each pet feels calm, loved, and well cared for.

“Bethany has been so helpful in caring for our dog. She treats her well and clearly has a love for animals. She's responsive and kind and we plan to continue using her on a weekly basis for as long as she's offering her services.”

About: Hi! I’m Linda, a lifelong cat lover who’s been surrounded by felines my entire life. My current companions are two surprise black cats who adopted me (they’re the best unexpected gifts!), plus my sweet black Goldendoodle who keeps me active and smiling every day. I adore animals and will care for your pets as if they were my own – whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I’m a frequent traveler myself, so I completely understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone trustworthy and attentive. Beyond pets, I bring extra skills to the table: I grew up working in my family’s 100+ year-old greenhouse, so I have a true green thumb for light gardening or plant care. As a swimmer, I’m happy to handle pool maintenance too. And if you’re feeling creative, I can even paint a custom mural on your wall or create a beautiful portrait of your pet while I’m house-sitting! I’m based in the Cincinnati area and excited to help make your travels worry-free. Let’s chat about how I can care for your home and beloved companions! My typical day starts around four or five in the morning. I get up and feed the pets, take him for a walk and I come back home and have a cuppa coffee and start painting. I’m home all day because I work for myself so I care for my pets 24/7. They love to sit around and work with me and watch my paintbrush, move, and sometimes attack it.

“Megan was great checking in on my cats and walking my dog. She is attentive, quick to respond and flexible. We will definitely be using Megan again for future services.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs for my entire life! I’m apart of several animal rescue organizations, so I’ve received special training on topics such as trauma-informed sheltering. I’m currently working full-time with a VERY flexible schedule. I work from home (downtown) for most of the week, and live close to the office. Your furry friends will receive a lot of attention from me while you’re away! I’m able to be in the home with your animal(s) for the majority of the time you’re away. I give them extra space for the first little bit, so they can get to know and trust me. Their happiness and comfort is extremely important to me!

“I could not recommend Tess more- so reliable and attentive to care instructions and communicative about the walks. Tess was also flexible with me when I needed to modify a walk. I greatly appreciated her care for our 12 year old greyhound and it’s clear our grey felt very happy and calm around Tess. We will be booking again! Thank you!”

About: I have taken care of and owned many kinds of pets over the course of my life, and I live learning about animals and finding the perfect way to take care of a specific pet. I am currently job searching, so I have free availability at all times and on all days of the week. I can take requests as last minute as you need and I am not worried if you end up needing to cancel. I have a lot of experience working with animals of different species, breeds, and personalities, and I am generally very familiar with body language. I pride myself on being attentive and never ignoring needs that must be met as well as preferences for both the pet and owner.

“Jared has been a life saver! I have 2 older dogs, one is rescue that had to learn a new name since we don’t know her original name. He really loves them and they are always so happy to see him. Working with him lets me working, uninterrupted, at my job a couple of days a week bringing so much peace of mind!”

About: I've had animals all my life including cats, dogs, fish, and lizards. I was responsible for them at an early age and now, I have raised my cat and dog on my own to be responsible members of society. Hello! I am currently a 3rd Grade ELA teacher here in Cincinnati. I’ve had animals all my life and would love to take care of yours when you are not available. Right now my openings are only on the weekends, but that will soon change during the summertime! I have three floors for pets to explore, a fenced in patio, and I live near three parks that dogs could take advantage of frequently.

“Corey is an excellent dog walker. My dog really enjoys being with him. He's assertive while also being gentle with my dog, which means he follows dog care instructions. He gives great updates about the walk. I'd strongly recommend Corey to my friends.”
