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.
“Ben was fantastic with Henry and Homer. I appreciated all the extra care and love Ben gave my guys when I was away. They were very well taken care of and Ben went above and beyond all expectations.”
About: I have dog sitted for close friends and work colleagues during graduate school. I am still new to dog sitting but I take direction very well and I am willing to learn new things and meet new people! I am currently a pharmacy resident and work mainly during the weekdays from 7am-5pm and work every other weekend starting this upcoming July. My availability for June is open during the afternoons and most early morning for weekdays and open on weekends! I make a point to follow instructions to a T, and if there are opportunities to go above and beyond, I will do so. If dog sitting, I make sure to give the utmost attention to your pet while also meeting your expectations. As for house sitting, I like to treat a home as if it were my own: tidy and organized.
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.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I’m truly passionate about. I have hands-on experience fostering dogs, volunteering in animal shelters, and caring for pets with a variety of personalities, backgrounds, and needs. I also attended school to become a veterinary technician before ultimately choosing a different career path, which gave me valuable knowledge about animal health, behavior, and overall well-being. As a foster parent and volunteer, I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to shy rescue dogs who need extra patience and understanding. These experiences have taught me how important it is to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while giving you complete peace of mind. I will treat your pets as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, attention, and plenty of affection. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, playtime, or simply a friendly face while you’re away, you can count on me to provide the care and attention they deserve💕🐾 I’m a teacher and have my summers off! I would absolutely love to spend my time off caring for your animals. I have open availability to be there for you and your animal whenever you need me. I absolutely love caring for pets and treat every animal like my own. My goal is to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable while providing the same level of attention and routine they’re used to. I respect your space and routines completely. I’ll follow your detailed instructions for feeding, walks, play, litter boxes, or any other needs. I send daily photo/text updates so you can see how your pet is doing and relax knowing they’re well cared for. I’m flexible, responsive, and committed to making sure both you and your pet feel confident and cared for💕
“Tori took great care of my kitties! I returned from a trip to find my house and pets well cared for, clean, and happy. Thanks for putting in the time and cuddles and I appreciate the terrific communication!”
“Susan is so great and caring with our cats! She is attentive to detail and very sweet with our cats. She brings so much peace of mind every time we are away, knowing our cats are well cared for. Thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits within my college years and would love to keep helping people by making sure their fur children are well taken care of. I currently work a part time job and like to work out. If my daily walk has a furry friend with me, that’s even more welcome! I would have no problem in house sitting so long as I am able to get to work for the day and come back to see the little guy/gal. I will be more than happy to play/walk/ visit with the pets as much as possible. I enjoy taking care of animals and will do so to the best of my ability as if they are my own pet.
“Olivia is great sitter! She gave thoughtful updates and clearly paid attention to Misha and Nori’s personalities and comfort levels. I appreciated the detailed notes, photos, and the care she showed while spending time playing with and petting them. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing my girls were well cared for and comfortable while I was away. :)”
“Breanna was great! My cat really liked her and she was very attentive to him over the weekend. She sent me daily updates with funny pictures. Would definitely have Breanna watch him again -- can't recommend her enough!”
About: I regularly pet sit for friends and family. 1-3 weeks mostly; but can do just a few days as well. Private home with a fenced yard. Dog lead in yard is available. I love to walk! Short or long walks are all fine with me. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I’ve owned 3 in my adult life. I even fostered a dog for 9 months! It was hard to give her up; but she went to a loving home. I’m honest and trustworthy and dogs just make every day better! I work a pretty flexible schedule. I’m retired so I have lots of time. If your dog likes car rides and public parks…awesome! There’s also 2-3 dog parks not far from my house I have a big yard that's about 70 yards deep and I have a secured lead in both front and back yards. For added safety, I attach an air tag to your pets collar. There are sidewalks all around my neighborhood for safe walks on a leash. I'm not a fan of dog parks. I prefer to select my walking path to ensure your pets safety. I live alone.
“Cathy was great with my cats. My shy cat even came around to her. She communicated with me daily while on vacation. I was able to enjoy my vacation so much more knowing my cats were well taken care of.”
“Dana has been so awesome with our 8-yr old cat, Momo. Momo was recovering from a surgery and was on a cone, so we’d been worried about leaving her by herself. We trusted her with Dana and we’re so glad we did because Dana has reallllyyyy helped us out (and calmed our separation anxieties too). She is calm and kind, and was great with Momo—she sent us regular, detailed updates and pictures from her visits. Dana was also great about giving Momo her daily medications, food and pets, and she actually did MUCH more than what we had asked of her. Really appreciate Dana and will definitely reach out to her in the future!! Highly recommend her <3 :)”
About: I’m a veterinarian with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages and needs. I studied at the University of Florida and went on to complete a rotating specialty internship at Cornell, where I gained advanced training in emergency and specialty care. I’m currently in an ophthalmology specialty training program, so I’m especially attentive to subtle changes in pets’ comfort, vision, and overall health. I truly love working with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog needing a little extra patience, or a pet with medical needs, I provide thoughtful, attentive, and safe care. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring ongoing conditions, and recognizing early signs of illness-giving you extra peace of mind while you’re away. I understand how important trust is when it comes to your pets, and I’m committed to clear communication, reliability, and making sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I work full-time as a veterinary ophthalmology specialty trainee from 8am–5pm on weekdays. Outside of those hours, I’m fully available and very attentive to the pets in my care. I’m available for evenings, overnight stays, and weekends, and I’m happy to provide consistent care for multi-day bookings. Because of my veterinary background and over 10 years of experience, I’m comfortable managing pets with a wide range of needs and ensuring they’re closely monitored when I’m with them. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m trained to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health and respond appropriately. I’m comfortable administering medications, other treatments, and caring for pets with medical needs. In your home, I strive to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’m attentive, detail-oriented, and will follow all care instructions closely. I also prioritize clear communication, providing regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.
“Courtney was super great and put me at ease while away from my cats! She listened and followed all my instructions carefully and her communication was great. Highly recommend her!”
About: I am a dog owner (adopted and trained her myself, she's also deaf.) I have years of experience working in a dog grooming business, as well as, pet/house sitting for friends, family and co-workers. I work remotely so I am home most days, all day. I am able to handle potty breaks, walks and general play/stimulation time. I am also able to stick to a strict feeding schedule if needed. While I don't have a fenced in yard, I do have access to a fenced in play area. I also take my dog for daily walks and fit lots of play time into our usual schedule. Because I am used to doing this for my own down it comes naturally for me when caring for others pets.

Covington dog parents share their Rover experiences
When our initial plans fell through, our thoughts immediately jumped to Katie to take care of Cora. She got back to us so quickly. We can always trust her to take superb care of Cora in a professional and caring manner. We are so lucky Katie is here for us and for Cora. Seriously can’t recommend her enough!
Georgiana was amazing! This was my first time using rover and she made me feel at ease! Our dog had an accident in the house and she took it upon herself to clean it up even after I had told her not to worry about it (didn’t want her to have to do that)! Georgiana is very thoughtful and sweet! Would recommend her to anyone!
