“Heather was wonderful! She sat & spent time with my kiddos, and provided pictures each session. Makes me feel so much better having someone I can trust there for my babies when I have to be away!”

“I was so worried about Simon but I came back from a 3week vacation and he was wonderful. I know this is because Alison took such good care of him. She was awesome. I would completely recommend her.”

“Crista was amazing. I was a first time rover user and she was very responsive, helped me feel comfortable in this process and had great ideas with how to approach my hesitant pup. 10/10 would recommend”

“Angel was super attentive to my cats while I was away, and coordinated with me through complicated travel schedules to make sure they would get the care that they need! I’m super thankful for her 💙”

“Tess was amazing and incredibly flexible when my travel plans shifted due to bad weather. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty, which says everything. She paid close attention to his eating and bathroom habits and really took the time to understand how he likes to play and receive attention. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such thoughtful hands. I would absolutely love to have Tess back anytime and highly recommend her.”

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!
“Anise is such an excellent sitter! This was my first time using Rover and Anise made me feel extremely comfortable leaving my cat in her care. She was communicative, took lots of pictures, and always went above and beyond to make sure my cat was getting enough attention.”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and of all ages. but I have specifically taken care of puppies and middle age dogs. Those dogs I have worked with the most with. I had a senior dog in my household that I took care of until she unfortunately passed from cancer and I had administered medication to her and such. I have also taken in 2 foster dogs one with separation anxiety and other medication issues due to being in the shelter. I would have to give her medication and baths on the regular due to her having multiple accidents in her crate. With the second dog they were a 2 month old puppy that I fostered for a weekend and took to an adoption event where they had gotten adopted. I want to make sure all animals are loved and cared for while there owners are away and so that the owner don’t have to worry and know there fur babies are okay. I take care of my pets at home already so it’s really just a built in thing for my schedule. It’s an easy thing to do during the day or to end your day with as well so it all just fits in nicely. And who doesn’t want to end their day with some snuggles. I want to treat my clients pets how I would want my pets treated. I wouldn’t mind any them to be pushed to the side or just be let out and then leave I would want my pets to be played with and have some attention and love before heading out just so they know that someone is looking out for them until their owners are back

About: I’ve had a dog for 12 years, so I’m experienced when it comes to taking care of dogs! I have experience walking and pet sitting for my friend’s dogs as well. I love all types of dogs. I want them to have the most positive experience possible! I work full time, but I work remotely on Mondays and Fridays. I’m looking to walk dogs after the work day or on weekends. I can also pet sit and/or check in on pets on weekends/Mondays/Fridays. I would love to hangout with your pet(s) and give lots of cuddles. I enjoy being active, so would have no problem taking your pet(s) on long walks and playing with them.
“Melissa was absolutely amazing. She was prompt, CLEARLY concerned that she had all the information she needed to take care of my cats, and flexible about some last minute complications with my plans. Melissa sent me awesome pictures and notes each day, and had my shy, timid boy eating up her affection. I would not hesitate to recommend her.”

“I had never utilized this app before so I was very scared at first but Sally made everything seamless. Very happy to have picked her to take care of my babies considering that cats are not the same as dogs. She immediately connected with them and I felt at easy while being away. She sent us pictures and updates every single day and was always quick to respond.”

“Haley is an amazing sitter! She is very conscientious and communicative. It is easy to tell that she cares about the animals that she is watching - she goes above and beyond to make sure that they are safe and happy. Her communications are clear and helpful. I will certainly contact Haley the next time that I travel, and I recommend her highly to anyone in the Cincinnati OTR area.”

“Johnnisha took great care of my kitties once again! I love that she sends me cute pictures of them every visit! They were happy and well fed when I got home.”
“I needed a last minute catsitter for an out of country work trip and Brianne was super communicative and caring for my cats! I didn’t have any worries for them while I was away”

“Taylor provided great (and funny) updates during her drop in visits with our cat. She was very fast at responding and even came over to get the keys before we left. Highly recommend Taylor!”

“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'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.
Central Business District pet parents share their Rover experiences
Angel is the best and will always be our go-to for all of our kitties!! We have 6 cats, some with bigger personalities, and she does so good taking care of them all and making sure each of them get attention. Angel took care of our kitties for 2 full weeks this time and did an amazing job, was communicative, and we came back to happy kitties and a clean house just the way we left it! Thanks, Angel!!

My lil man was so happy when I came home! Wolf is a great sitter and put my mind at ease while away with great communication and photo/written updates. I returned home to a place as clean as I'd left it so their cleanliness is appreciated! Thanks again, Wolf!

Hannah did great watching my cat while we were gone on a long vacation. She was able to find my cat even in her hiding places, and always sent a picture and update. She was easy to communicate with for dropping off keys, etc. I would definitely recommend her for your pet!!!

Absolutely fantastic experience with our pet sitter, Erika. She did an amazing job caring for my two cats, who are usually very wary of new people. By the end of her time with them, one of my cats even let her hold him which is a huge milestone and really shows how patient, calm, and gentle she was with both of them. Erika was very professional throughout, followed all instructions carefully, and always replied quickly, which really helped ease my stress while I was away. I felt completely confident knowing my two cats were in great hands. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

I always have a great experience Tanya taking care of my two playful cats! One of my cats requires medication, and she handles that with ease and care, which gives me so much peace of mind. It’s such a relief to know our pets are in good hands. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be booking again!

Anise is such an excellent sitter! This was my first time using Rover and Anise made me feel extremely comfortable leaving my cat in her care. She was communicative, took lots of pictures, and always went above and beyond to make sure my cat was getting enough attention.
