“Maddie was an incredible sitter. She was very knowledgable and provided pictures and updates throughout the day. There is a big backyard which was great for Chester to get some energy out. I would absolutely request to use her again!”
“Lisa was absolutely wonderful with our fur babies! We had never used rover before and were a little nervous leaving our dogs for so long over the holidays, but Lisa made me feel comfortable right away! She sent me multiple updates and pictures of my dogs everyday we were gone. She went above and beyond and my dogs were well taken care of! Will definitely use Lisa again!”
“Great family! I highly recommend Debbie and her husband Randy!! My dog, Pushok, had the best time during his stay, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable hands. Very reliable, communicative, and clearly passionate about animal care, sending updates and photos regularly.”
About: I am an avid walker and would love to walk your dog for you! I love both short and long walks, whatever your needs may be. Medical student at UC My dog recently passed and am looking for ways to connect with dogs, often walk daily in obryonville and would love to take your dog with me :) I currently live in a secure apartment with multiple dog parks on the premise and walkable areas nearby. Apartment is roomy with enough space to take care of a fluffy friend!
“Sydney did an amazing job watching our dog Maizy! I got updates frequently, Maizy was well taken care of & I was completely at ease our whole time away. I would highly recommend Sydney and will definitely be using her services more in the future!”
“Nikki sent updates and pictures each day! Our pup typically takes awhile to settle into new places but Pepper felt comfortable and quickly adjusted to her normal routine! Would definitely recommend Nikki!!”
“Heather was a great rover! She provided consistent updates and always looked like Mowgli was having a great time. Really appreciate all the help. Will reach out again the future. Thanks!”
About: My family had a dog and two cats when I was growing up, and I have made sure to keep pets in my household ever since. Now, my wife and I have a 10-year-old beagle named Bobby, and a five-year-old cat named Walter. Bobby and Walter are easy-going and do well around other pets. Bobby mostly keeps to himself, while Walter might try to get your pet to play with him. We live at the end of a cul-de-sac in a quiet neighborhood, and we have a partially fenced yard for your dog to play/relax in. Bobby loves lounging on our patio. I work from home full-time, and my wife works from home one-two days a week, so your pet will have constantly attention and love from us. I work from home, so I am available to board and look after your pet every day. I only board one pet at a time, so you can count on your pet getting full and constant attention. I have a partially fenced yard at the end of a cul-de-sac in a quiet neighborhood, with plenty of yard for your pet to play and relax.
“I have used Patricia several times for my girl Dolly. She always does an amazing job. This stay my girl had some ear irritation going on and Patricia let me know and even picked up some ear drops for me and gave to her. It made me feel so happy to know my girl was in great hands. We now live in Indianapolis but even planned our trip to fly out of Cincy so Patricia could pet sit for us :) Highly recommend!”
“Christy, her home, and her dog Georgie make for a perfect Rover experience. She handled our two dogs, their medications, and their quirks like a pro. Would and will use Christy again whenever possible!”
“I am always at ease when I leave my dog with Shannon. She gives me updates on the visits and sends pictures. My pup is very fond of her and gives her kisses when she sees her.”
“Jessica is a star!! Our dog is a bit special (separation anxiety and dog/animal reactivity) but Jessica took such wonderful care of him. We loved all the picture updates and her care really put our minds at ease while away. Thank you again Jessica!!”
“Jonathon, helped us out of a cancelled booking and was very accommodating at the last minute. Louie had lots of attention and gave us lots of updates. We are definitely going to ask Jonathon to look after our lil Louie again!!!!! Thank you very much, we are so appreciative. Jonathon also kept a very close eye on Louie's tail which had been irritating Lou, by providing very detailed and specific care.”
“You could not ask for a better place for your dog!! From communication to her beautiful family, it was a great visit. Our dog (Gabby) loved Stella, Krista’s sweet golden doodle, and our dog played with Stella like they were long lost siblings. Krista was more than understanding when our plans kept changing. Our dog often snubs us when she comes back from a kennel and this time she didn’t miss a beat. Gabby was her normal self right at pick up—not snubbing us! Lol and was clearly SO happy at Krista’s. Thank you and will def be back!”
“Jennifer took wonderful care of a puppy in her home while we were away on vacation. Her and her family showered my boy with lots of love and treats. Highly recommend benefits Jennifer to watch your furbabies!”

Elisheba took great care of my two dogs! Usually my pups are timid when they first arrive at a new place, but as soon as we got to her house they were excited and started running around. Elisheba sent photo updates and was very communicative and responsive throughout the process.
I can’t say enough great things about Christy! She watched Reggie while my husband and I were out of town, and she kept us updated throughout the week with plenty of photos and messages. We could tell Reggie was in great hands and got lots of walks, playtime, and time to relax and feel at home. We would absolutely recommend her!
Absolutely wonderful pet sitter! You can immediately tell that Amir genuinely loves animals and truly cares about the pets he looks after. I left my Harlow with him for the weekend, and honestly, I think she had more fun with him than she does with me LOL! 😂 He has a great personality, provides amazing pet care, very good communication and pictures!! all at a very affordable price. I honestly can’t imagine choosing anyone else! Harlow is already excited to stay with Amir again soon. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur babies!
Jenny was an amazing sitter with lots of love and patience! My dog Max had a bit of anxiety being in a new place (on top of his high energy). Jenny was very communicative and willing to go the extra mile to help him cope. Max ended up having a great time. I highly recommend her!!!
