Bethany has been so helpful in caring for our dog. She treats her well and clearly has a love for animals. She's responsive and kind and we plan to continue using her on a weekly basis for as long as she's offering her services.

Allison has been great! Super friendly and helpful when scheduling, and she has great availability. This is the second time she's taken our Aussie pup on a walk to help get some energy out. Love getting the pictures of her time with him and the note she leaves about their time together. Will definitely keep using Allison

About: I've had cats my whole life! Recently I've fostered six cats (including some kittens) and foster failed my current cat, Goose. I'm studying for medical school exam and have some free time for extra cuddles. Growing up, I frequently cared for my family's two mini Schnauzer's and would love to take your dogs for walks too! I am currently studying for medical school board exams and have a flexible routine that has plenty of time to check in on your furry friends. Not all cats are created equal and I pride myself on being able to read your cat's body language to determine what they need from me. I have experience walking dogs in a busy city environment.

About: Hi! My name is Claire, and I’m someone who has always had dogs growing up — they’ve been a huge part of my life. Now that I’m in school, I really miss having a dog of my own, but I know I don’t currently have the time to fully raise one. That’s actually what drew me to Rover: I get to spend time caring for and loving dogs while also helping owners in my community feel confident their pets are in good hands. I genuinely love dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I take caring for them seriously. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them attention and comfort, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Being in school has taught me how to manage my time responsibly, and pet care is something I truly enjoy rather than see as a chore. I would love the opportunity to help care for your dog (or cat!) and give them the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine because I’m currently in school and have a flexible schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting during weekdays and weekends, and I make sure pets receive consistent attention, playtime, and care throughout the day! I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I carefully follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions, keep environments clean and secure, and make sure each pet feels calm, loved, and well cared for.

About: I grew up with five cats and one dog, and have helped pet sit friends’ dogs. I am very comfortable playing, feeding, going on walks, cleaning litter boxes, etc. I now have my own tripod cat as well, so I have also learned a lot about caring for pets with different needs! I will be working part time, and not taking classes this summer semester. So I will have plenty of time to stop by throughout the week. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and stick to their usual routine. I am very careful on checking that doors, gates, and leashes are secure. I follow all instructions closely and keep owners regularly updated!

About: I absolutely love dogs and cats and am excited to take care of yours! At my apartment I live right next to the Ohio River with nice walking trails that your dog will love! In addition to being a dog person my whole life, I helped raise my family’s golden retriever, get him potty trained and teach him commands. I’ve dog sitted and cat sitted for friends and always have fun doing so- I’m looking forward to caring for yours! I work Tuesday-Saturday and that’s my only major obligation so I’m able to focus on caring for your pet! I’m happy to go on walks and get exercise with them if you’d like! I have an apartment with a large living room so they have plenty of space to walk around. Bed and couch friendly. There’s no other dogs in my home or apartment so no worries there!

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.

About: I am an absolute dog-lover, and I’ve been dog sitting for 5 years. I also have 10 years of experience with cats. I am available for almost any weekend, any time, and I am available during the week around my work schedule. I pride myself in being trustworthy, reliable, and responsible. I am fun-loving, caring, and patient, especially when it comes to taking care of pets. I can have a great time with any type of dog, whether they want to play all day, or kick back and relax. I would love to get to know you’re pups and kitties! I am available the most in the evenings on weekdays, and all day weekends. This changes based on my work in the theatre business, but I typically have hours available every day. I am happy to give my devoted attention to your pups or kitties based on their needs. I love a cuddle bug, or I’m happy to go out and get some walking in! I am comfortable crating dogs, and promise to give them as many treats as you’d like!

About: Hoping to bring lots of love and care to Cincinnati families and their pups! I’m happiest when surrounded by dogs — they’re loving, joyful, and beautifully free spirits. My sweet dog, Saavy, passed away in February, and I miss her terribly. Getting back on Rover feels like a wonderful way to share that love again while spending time with amazing doggies. I’m especially experienced with rescue dogs and skittish or anxious pups. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, kind, and dependable to care for your furry family members. I’m always happy to meet beforehand so you and your pup feel comfortable and confident. I love being active and outdoors — walking, running, practicing yoga, and playing tennis — so your dog will get plenty of attention, movement, and affection. I live in East Walnut Hills and prefer caring for pups in their own homes, where they feel safest, most secure, and comfortable. Currently accepting new clients for: • Daily walks • Drop-in daily care • Overnight stays/boarding in your home I’m flexible and happy to work with your budget when possible. I look forward to connecting with you and meeting your sweet pups soon! Very flexible. I work from home and happy to accommodate schedules and walks. Daily walks, doggie day care, and boarding in your home. Thank you! I will follow your recommended guidelines for your pup. Dogs are always welcome to roam free and even sleep with me if permitted by owners:)

Bethany did a great job of walking our one-year-old cattle dog/beagle mix. A trainer had just taught me a good way to do it, and Bethany came over early to learn how. So on all her walks, she helped train our dog to walk properly with her human! You can rely on Bethany to be kind, firm, and pleasant. Will definitely hire her again when we need a dog walker.
