“Amira was great! She was easy to communicate with and was super flexible with our ever changing schedule. She took great care of our dog and I would love to have her watch Bunny again.”
“I can't recommend them enough! They were incredibly accommodating with all of the changes to my surgery dates and made a very stressful time so much easier. Communication was excellent, they were reliable, flexible, and took wonderful care throughout the entire process. I truly appreciated their kindness and professionalism. We'll absolutely be using them again, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone dependable and compassionate!”
“Jaci was absolutely wonderful with Zeke! He was so comfortable staying with her that he almost didn’t want to leave. I would definitely recommend and rebook with Jaci!”
“Jane is a real pro! My wife and I truly enjoyed meeting her and appreciated the twice-daily photos and check-ins. She is the best dog sitter we have ever had and will be the FIRST person we call in the future. If you want a lovely, caring, and sincere sitter for your pet, you should try to schedule Jane M. We are very glad we did.”
“I've used Tasia multiple times for Ava and this time she watched Willa. Ava and Willa are VERY different and she did an amazing job. She sends pictures and videos often and puts me at ease with how my babies are doing. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”
“Teah and Eric have become my “go to” sitters for my dog, Wilbur. They take such great care of him - as if he were their own. I honestly can’t say enough great things about them! So happy to have found people who I can leave him with without any worries!”
“Tilli has a wonderful stay with Kelti and Tanner. Communication was very easy and Kelti was a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend them for your pet sitting needs.”
“Lauren and Wynn took great care of our pup! Communication was terrific with photos and updates shared regularly. They were flexible on the pick-up and drop-off times. And Vivi came home happy, healthy, and exhausted from playing. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi, we're Faith and Rusty. Rusty is a senior corgi-retriever mix that loves naps and rolling in the grass. We walk twice a day and enjoy living near plenty of trails and a big park. He is dog-friendly and would love some company. We're open to hosting for dogs, animals in enclosures, and animals that may be harder to find care for. I have a lot of personal experience with animals from pets to exotics, so we would love to host your loved one. I am fully available. I can also add on weekend activities such as a local hike or taking them to a prepaid grooming appointment for an additional fee. I have an aging dog that takes medication and requires accommodation for seperation anxiety, so I am familiar with meeting special needs or adjustments in care. I do not crate pets unless advised due to behavioral concerns, and the pet must be crate trained. For animals that live in enclosures such as rabbits or guinea pigs, I will keep them on a desk or in my room with periods of playtime out of the enclosure as directed by their guardian.
“William & Haley were amazing! They took great care of Auri and sent great updates and pictures. Auri loved her time exploring the fenced-in back yard. Thank you!”
“Our two dogs recently had another doggie vacation with Lauren. When they stay with Lauren, we know they are in great hands. Her fenced backyard allows them to run around and play. She gives them lots of love and always sends pictures. Having peace of mind that your babies are well-cared for, allows you to enjoy your time when you are away. We would highly recommend Lauren!”
“Highly recommend Alycia (and Scott) as a dog sitter! She took great care of our dog Walter for a week and sent daily pics/videos. Reliable and caring. Will definitely book her again! Thank you, Alycia & Scott!”
“Madison took great care of my girl! She sent me daily updates and photos and responded promptly whenever I reached out. She treated her as if she were her own and I would definitely trust her to watch my baby again!”
“Jenny was absolutely wonderful! Our first time using rover and she made us feel so confident that Stella was in great hands during our time away. She sent regular updates and photos every day, it was clear Stella trusted her very much!”
“We love Rebecca! Sent lots of updates and treat our pup with so much love! We had a last minute change in plans and she helped us out so much! He loves the car and she took him out with her and I know he loved it! 100% will use her again!”
“This has been one of the most relaxed boarding experiences ever - Sandy was so wonderful and I think we are going to be regulars at her place :) My Elvis came back looking happy, healthy and missing his buddy. I loved the daily pictures and updates, and the drop-off/pick-up were very convenient. Thank you Sandy!”
“Tricia was flexible, kind, and patient with our dog. Her kids were calm and not afraid to play with a big dog. She sent us updates and pictures along the way. We will be going back to Tricia again for services for our dog!”

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!!!
Marlena was absolutely wonderful! She was responsive, caring, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog, Lillie, is blind and Marlena handled her with so much patience and compassion. It was clear she took the time to make Lillie feel comfortable and cared for, which meant so much to me. I truly appreciated the love and attention she gave my dog and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Marlena to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family!

There are 821 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Cincinnati. About 91% of Cincinnati sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
