“Thank you so much for loving on my babies! I’m sure they loved you just as much. I’ve never seen Wednesday warm up to anyone as quickly as she did to you. Thank you!”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing. She was prompt, CLEARLY concerned that she had all the information she needed to take care of my cats, and flexible about some last minute complications with my plans. Melissa sent me awesome pictures and notes each day, and had my shy, timid boy eating up her affection. I would not hesitate to recommend her.”

“The best sitter I have ever found. I only wish I could take her with me to California when I move! Kept the place tidy and even gave me notifications when things needing attending around the house. My kitty cats just loved her.”
“Sandy made us feel at ease while we were away on our honeymoon for two weeks. She made sure our cat got played with, got some cuddles, and cleaned his litter box every visit. Her updates were very thorough and she paid close attention to him to make sure everything went smoothly while we were gone. She sent plenty of photos that made us know he was being loved and cared for. Would absolutely book her for our next trip!”

“We love Jawnie! She's so attentive, responsive, thoughtful and gives us so much peace of mind when she's taking care of our cat. Not to mention she's so great at getting action photos!”
“Great job!!! Becca was a great help to our family today. She was reliable and punctual taking out our puppy, Hank. She was successful at taking him for a walk (he's new to a leash). He was a happy and dry boy when we arrived tonight. Thanks again! We look forward to working with you in the future ❤️??”
About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—which gave me a lifelong comfort and confidence working with animals. From energetic puppies to senior dogs, I’m experienced and patient with every stage of life. I have hands-on experience with basic obedience training and I’m currently working toward my dog training certification. I currently work at FedEx ground. I'm about to switch to weekends only so I can be available mon-friday anytime. Weekend nights could work if planned ahead. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly condo where dogs have plenty of room to play and relax. My own dog, Foster, is friendly and well-socialized—he loves making new friends and is great with other dogs. We also share a backyard with respectful neighbors and their dogs, creating a safe and social environment. I'm always happy to answer any questions or provide updates,just reach out anytime!
“Jillian has done multiple drop-in visits with my puppy. She is very trustworthy and great with animals. I'll definitely be reaching out to her as needed in the future and would highly recommend her to others as well! ?”
“Maria is great! I had never used Rover before and she made it super easy and simple for me. Knowing she was the person taking care of my cat when I was out of town gave me all of the peace of mind I needed. I will definitely be booking with Maria again in the future!”
“No complaints. My cat's don't have any major needs or health concerns but Jen was on top of it anyway, took pics, and handled the errands needed. She kept an eye on messages when there were updates for what would be easiest, whenever logistics came up.”
“Elizabeth is fantastic! Flexible comma and kind and patient with my high anxiety shepherd mix.”
About: I have been a dog owner for many years. My family and friends have relied on me to watch their pets while they are out of town, both cats and dogs. I have a really flexible work schedule, which would allow me to make mid-day pop ins. I am available for dog walking, which I am most interested in! I am flexible to stay in the client’s home or my own. My dog is older and gentle, but if someone needs a no-pet home or need me to stay at their home, my dog can stay with other family nearby.
About: I have been around dogs since I was young and know just what to do to make your fur baby feel safe and cared for. I am responsible and trustworthy and would love to give you peace of mind. I am available for walks/drop-ins in the evening and weekends, full time care on the weekends, and walks on the weekends/evenings. I will have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I will care for your pets in the same way you do so your pet’s routine isn’t interrupted! You can trust me to adhere to all rules set by you!
About: I grew up with a number of cats and dogs in my home, and began caring for other pets when I was in high school. I’ve now had a dog of my own for 6years that I care for along with my husband and so enjoy any other animal interaction I get! I am reliable, punctual and communicative. If booking for an overnight stay in our home, my husband will also be helping with pet care and adores pets as much as I do. I’m currently in grad school, so I have more flexibility than someone with a 9-5. Each day is different, but I can often make time in my day depending on what is needed. More flexibility over the summer months. Again, if your dog is staying in our home, my husband will also act as another person caring for your pet. If you prefer I watch a dog in my home, I will want my dog to meet your dog first. If that relationship works, I’ll care for your little one like my own during their stay. Otherwise, I will make sure to give your pet as much attention and love as I can, and complete all your requirements outlined. I do not do overnight pet care in another home unless you are known to me personally however.
About: Hello! My name is Akita, located in the Cincinnati, Ohio/NKY area. Wouldn’t you like to have your dog cared for by someone who just absolutely loves dogs; well that would be me. I am a pet mom of eleven years to two beautiful dogs and have experience in caring for small, medium, large and extremely large dogs. Also those that require medication, special needs or specific care are welcome. I’m available throughout the week and weekends, for overnight stays, dog walking, pet sitting, drop-in visits, outside breaks and pretty much anything you may require for your dog daily. Let me know if I can be of service to you. I look forward to spending time with your dogs very soon. Enjoy the balance of your day. I currently work from home and have ample time for your pets. I'm available during the week and weekends. I’m sure we can find a time to play and care for your fur baby. I have a partially fenced yard and a friendly dog for companionship, his name is Oso. Crating is available if needed, ensuring your pup feels comfortable and safe.

Corey C.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Corey has been an incredible support for both me and my dog, Charlie. It’s not easy trusting someone outside of family with a beloved pet, but Corey makes it easy. From the start, he has been kind, attentive, and genuinely connected to Charlie’s needs. Whether I’m gone for a few hours or a few days, I know my dog is in capable and caring hands. Corey doesn’t just show up—he shows care. He notices the details, responds to Charlie’s energy, and handles everything with patience and warmth. Knowing Charlie is safe and happy when I can’t be there brings me tremendous peace of mind. I truly can’t recommend Corey enough. He’s dependable, compassionate, and treats your pet like his own. Thank you, Corey, for everything you do!”

Hannah C.Star Sitter
“Hannah would make a great dog sitter because she loves pets of all kinds and especially dogs. She is a great dog mom to 10 year old Spencer Reid the energetic border collie. She was always willing to take my lab, Daisy with just a moments notice. ⁶⁶⁶ She would also be a great dog walker, because she regularly walks Spencer 4 miles or more from her home which is near several parks and the riverfront.”
Lauren G.
“Lauren is an AMAZING pet sitter! She is dependable, trustworthy, and very comfortable with pets - as she is a cat parent herself. I was gone for nearly 2 weeks out of state, so I needed someone to check on my cat, Phoebe. Phoebe requires oral medication and likes human connection / company, so Lauren was able to check on her, administer medication, and send check in photos and videos. Phoebe was a happy girl and my mind was at ease while on my vacation.”
Gabrielle T.
“Gabby is loving, communicative and very thorough in her time with my pets. She’s been amaIng with my very shy and under socialized cat all the way to my 9 week old kitten. I always know my fam will be well taken care of in her hands! And many pictures which makes the experience so much more tolerable being away from them.”
Akita J.
“Akita is by far our first choice when we need a dog sitter. We have used her service on several occasions, the last one for a period of three weeks. During that time, she kept the house neat and tidy and stayed in communication with us on a regular basis, eliminating the stress of leaving the dogs and house behind. Above all, Akita is trustworthy, and our dogs love her. We would be happy to provide personal references upon request.”

Dayton cat parents share their Rover experiences
Taylor is the best cat sitter we have ever had! She is so attentive and communicative. The kitties loved her instantly and she gave very detailed updates and tons of pictures. We will definitely be using her services again!!
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!
Megan has been an absolute godsend. She’s taken care of our cat a couple of times now and been very flexible and accommodating.
paris was amazing! she always provided updates and communicated when she was coming over, and always responded to my questions and requests quickly. my cat absolutely loved her and was a lot less lonely with me gone. she’ll definitely be my first pick to rebook when i go out of town again!!!
I had Mackenzie watch my cats for the week and tend to their basic needs. A very simple Rover booking, would have been hard to mess up. No issues on it, she did a nice job.
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
Emily took great care of our two cats while we were away. She was always in communication, giving updates and sending pictures, and went above and beyond when we asked for extra help with small items. We were very comfortable knowing that our cats were so well taken care of. We will definitely book with Emily again. Thank you!
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.
I could be the luckiest guy, who has a cat he loves very much, to have found Abbie as a sitter while I took a sabbatical. My biggest anxiety was leaving Hugo behind for a month. When I met up with Abbie for our meet and greet, I knew he would be in good hands, and much of my anxiety faded as we we talked. She communicated everyday, and my cat had to love the attention he got from her, even if his dad was nowhere to be found (he was very happy to see me when I got back). If you have cats that you love dearly, I do not know how you could do any better, at all, than to engage and hire Abbie to help you out. She is genuine and heartfelt in her approach, and I was asking a lot for a person to spend a month looking in on a beloved pet. I simply can not say enough in terms of the positive of my experience in hiring her, and I recommend her highly. On behalf of myself and Hugo, thank you Abbie!
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!
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!!!!!
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.
