“Susan takes excellent care of my cat every time she is here. I appreciate her daily, detailed updates and the confidence I have in knowing my pet is being cared for so well. Highly recommend.”
“I am beyond grateful for Alison’s exceptional care of my dog. Not only did they provide all the basics—feeding, walks, and playtime—but they went the extra mile to make sure my dog was safe during a snowstorm. She was incredibly. It was evident that Alison thought about my dog and when above and beyond and truly cares about animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, thank you for your kindness and dedication!”
“Georgina has been doing drop in visits on our girl Josie for the past few months and she's been great. Josie is a 6 month old lab with lots of energy and she gives her the opportunity to run and play throughout the day while we are at work. She's been reliable and respectful of our home. She's also been very accommodating while we've had some work done on the exterior of our home and didn't have access to the fenced-in back yard. She's even taken her on walks without us asking her to. We appreciate the care she's given Josie and will continue to request visits from her in the future.”
“Kelsey was great! Our cat got sick during one of her visits and she stayed longer than she needed to, just to make sure our cat was doing ok. We really appreciated her professionalism and communication.”
“Lots of great updates, looked like they had great quality time together! Brought peace of mind to see pics of my kitty having such a fun time when I had to find someone to take care of her at the last minute”
“Cathy was fantastic looking after our cats. We got lots of photos each day, which our previous Rover didn’t do. We will definitely have Cathy watch our cats next time we head out of town.”
“From the beginning Ray was responsive and accomindating. While traveling, it was such a relief and comfort to know that Ray was coming to check on the cat everyday, as booked. He gave updates on how she was doing, made sure she was fed, watered etc as well as staying with her for companionship and pets for the requestied time. He also sent picture updates. Will use again when/if I need someone to watch after her. Thanks Ray!”
“Saul was really good with my cats and sent me timely updates. One of my cats is shy and hides away and he made sure she was doing ok every time he visited. Overall I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a nice person to look after their pets.”
“Kathleen was amazing! Her communication was very fast and detailed. She also watched all 3 of our dogs and had no issues. She was honest and I had no problem or issues trusting her not only with our 3 dogs but also our home. I will definitely be asking her to watch our babies again! If you want someone caring, reliable, and loving to your pets go to Kathleen!”

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: ✅ Why Book With Me? - I only board one pet at a time — so your pet gets 1:1 care and all the snuggles they deserve. - Fully insured through both Rover Guarantee + my personal Pet Care Insurance for extra peace of mind. - Clean, adorable downtown Cincinnati high-rise — no clutter, no chaos. Just a cozy, calm home. 🐾 Experience You Can Trust With over a decade of experience caring for dogs and cats, I’ve handled just about every personality, routine, and quirk you can think of: - Pets with severe anxiety - Pets needing oral meds, ear drops, eye drops, or feeding support - Pets with appetite issues in new homes (yes, I’ve boiled chicken at midnight) - Flight risks or known escape artists (I triple-check doors and leash fittings) - Picky sleepers, potty strugglers, food thieves — I've seen it all 🛏️ What Your Pet Gets - A calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of cozy spots to lounge - No other animals or children — your pet is the star - Daily updates with photos + videos - Cuddles in bed (if allowed!) - Extra-long walks if needed to help them settle in 💬 A Note About My Home I live with my boyfriend. If your pet is shy/initially fearful of men, just let me know — I’m experienced with slow, low-pressure introductions. For pets with intense fear or aggression toward men, I may decline for everyone’s comfort. 💖 Why I Do This I don’t have a pet of my own right now (travel makes it tricky), so I pour my energy into giving yours the love and attention I’d give to my own. Warning: I always get attached. I work full-time on weekdays, but I’m available to walk your pet up to 4 times a day — morning, mid-day, after work, and before bed. On weekends, I’m typically available 24/7 and love taking dogs on my long walks to green spaces in downtown & OTR. Your pet will have full access to all furniture and my bed, if that’s what they’re used to. I want them to feel completely safe, relaxed, and cared for while they’re with me. My downtown high-rise apartment is clean, pet-friendly, and ideal for dogs who do best in calm, low-distraction spaces. I only host one pet at a time, so your dog gets all of my attention. I live with my animal-loving boyfriend, who is happy to hang out with your furry friend. That said, I’ll decline bookings for pets who are fearful of men — it’s better for everyone’s comfort.

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!
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!
I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter for my boy, Muky! 🐾 Shivani was absolutely wonderful—always punctual, caring, and attentive. She kept me updated every day with messages and adorable pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Muky clearly loves her, and it’s easy to see why—she treated him as if he were her own, making sure he got his medication, plenty of love, and some treats too. I’m so grateful for her kindness and professionalism, and I highly recommend Shivani to anyone looking for a truly caring pet sitter. Thank you Shivani
Kathleen was amazing! Her communication was very fast and detailed. She also watched all 3 of our dogs and had no issues. She was honest and I had no problem or issues trusting her not only with our 3 dogs but also our home. I will definitely be asking her to watch our babies again! If you want someone caring, reliable, and loving to your pets go to Kathleen!
Emma and William were true lifesavers for our boy Thompson Thompson. He had been having some health issues and we were worried about him being alone while we left for 10 days. But William and Emma stepped up and not only relieved our anxiety, but became good friends of Thompson. They took great care of him, giving him his daily medicine, cleaning his litter box and spending time with him in our home. Seeing that he was fine at home allowed us to enjoy our trip without anxiety because we knew he was in great hands.
Letizia is superb with Jade and Cleo. She has been such a great help to us over the last couple years! We love all of her pictures and videos of the cats she sends us while we’re away! We always know they’re safe and taken care of while we’re away. I would recommend her to anyone!
Morgan made the effort to come to my house to meet my dogs ahead of our scheduled drop in. She was always quick to respond and even picked up trash in my backyard so the dogs wouldn’t get into it. I really appreciate someone like Morgan taking care of my babies while away.
