“Literally could not be more impressed. I have 3 medium-large dogs and two cats, each with a variety of medications and strong personalities.. They eat raw food and have a complicated “outside” routine. I am also a control freak about my animals and their routines, and even went to the length of typing up this huge document of how to follow their normal schedules and routines of things….. Justyce followed it METICULOUSLY and really REALLY cared about “getting everything right”, which means the world to me. Lots of communication, lots of pictures, tons of true actual professionalism you don’t always get from hired services. I’ve never used Rover before and was so nervous about it, but now I’m not. I’m very very happy with my experience with her and I am just so thankful ❤️❤️”

About: I grew up with dogs in the house and haven't had many times when a dog wasn't in the house. I have experience working with and caring for pups, older dogs, anxious dogs and super active dogs! I also have experience administering medication. I can’t wait to get to know your buddies! I work from home most days on a very flexible schedule. That means I have the time to give your pets the attention and exercise they need. I will give your dog gentle and loving care while offering a lot of activity when needed. I am a very active person and happy to walk your dog in your own neighborhood or take a trip to the park. I do not have a fence at my own place, but make up for that with longer walks or play time inside. I have lids on all trashcans and keep the floors clear of anything a pet could ingest. If a car ride is needed, I have a safety seat in the back for small dogs.
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.

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.

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.
Sandy took such good care of my kitty while I was out of town! She took time to give her extra love and care. Will rebook!
Jenny did a great job looking after my two kitties while I was away for over a week. Normally they’re quite spooked by new faces, but she had them out and about within a day or two
Megan was amazing with my cat Nora. She took such good care of her and Nora adored her! 100% would recommend booking her to take care of your pets!!
Awesome sitter!!! She was super attentive to my pets and would totally recommend her to anyone needing a sitter :)
Sage took the time to locate each of our babies and reacted according to each cat's comfort level. She gave attention to those that wanted it and observed those that were more timid. Great job.
Ariel was on time and took excellent care of our little one. Will definitely call her again...thank you Ariel❣️
This is the second time Ray has watched my kitties and he is always reliable, polite, and really cares about animals. Definitely would recommend!
As always, Cathy took great care of our two cats. No issues or concerns. We will continue to book with Cathy for our future travel needs.
First time using Shelby and we were incredibly impressed…. she did great with our special needs dog was a great communicator from beginning to end!
Mac watched over our two cats and did a great job. He's very communicative and we appreciate the updates he provided! Thanks Mac!
As always, it's a pleasure to have Shannon take care of our fur babies - always great communication and attention for them.
Robyn was amazing with our cat Eevee. She has a lot of experience with cats so I felt really comfortable leaving our cat in her care. She followed feeding instructions well, kept the litter box clean, and spent extra time playing with Eevee. Highly recommend!
Suzanne visited to help me plan for her stay in my house and go over the details of my dog's care that week. Toby warmed up to her quickly and made me glad to leave him in her care.
Erica did an outstanding job with our senior kitty. She's very detail-oriented and asked all the right questions before taking the job. Can't recommend her enough!
Alex went above and beyond taking care of my kitties (and even my plants too!!). Would definitely trust them to come back again. They are so thorough, kind, and awesome! THANK YOU, ALEX!!!!!
Jillian was a great communicator and was really excited to spend time with our Bella girl while we were away!! You can tell she has a passion for animals and it made us feel very comfortable! Definitely recommend Jillian for your pet care needs!
Katie is so great with Seymour! He has a hard time getting to know people, but with Katie’s confidence and calm demeanor they quickly became best friends!
Marissa was great as always! She always takes good care of my two kitties while I travel to visit family overseas. She understands their personalities and lets them warm up to her at their own pace. She also pays attention to the little details around my apartment, keeps it tidy, and lets me know if anything seems off, which I really appreciate. I would absolutely book her again in the future if I need a sitter again.
