“Akita is professional, very responsive and amazing! My fur baby felt at home immediately. He even ate his food which he never does when he’s away from home. She was so accommodating and did such a wonderful job taking him on plenty of walks and potty breaks! He was so excited for day 2 daycare. I’m so happy I found a forever sitter for my baby! Thank you Akita!”

“Jen & Rob took such great care of my dog for day care weekly. He always came home happy, healthy, and exhausted (thank god, he is a high energy Aussie and needed to expel that energy!). Thank you, Jen & Rob for being a safe place for me to bring my dog!”

“Jenny and her family were amazing!! They took care of my dog like he was their own. He had so much fun and didn’t want to leave. Jenny also sent me awesome pictures of all the fun he was having. Thank you so much!”

About: Experienced especially with large, and high-energy breeds. I own and train my 3 year old working GSP on obedience, recall, and hunting. She gets multiple daily visits to large fields and socialization with other dogs. I am comfortable with any size and age of dog, I have experience with dog first aid and CPR, and can care for injuries or administer medications. If you need someone to trust with your most loved pups while you are away, I will care for them like my own. I am available for daily scheduled or last minute runs and short or long term boarding at your home. I have flexibility and open communication. I take my friendly 3 year old GSP on off leash runs and hikes daily. She is happy to play with your pups as well at your home. I keep 24/7 supervision on my dog so I know what it’s like when they are out of sight!
About: I have had dogs most of my life and feel confident in my ability to walk, play and work with dogs of all sizes. I have experience with older dogs and taking care of their more complex needs. I also have trained with my dog on loose leash walking and it has really improved my knowledge on dog walking and behavior. I start my day with an hour long walk and playtime every morning and evening for my own dog and have a flexible schedule to play and tend to any dogs every few hours. I love exploring new neighborhoods and places with my dog. In my own home I have a friendly dog named Harold to keep any dog company and have a semi fenced in yard. I also live very close to Eden Park for many long walks. In a client’s home, I am respectful in the space and happy to adjust to any clients needs.
About: (Pet weight limit 0-25) - Experienced care with pugs, bulldogs, etc. I’ve had dogs and pets my whole life, so taking care of animals just comes naturally to me. In high school, I started a small neighborhood business walking and washing dogs, and I loved it. Since moving to Cincinnati for college, I’ve been volunteering at the local shelter where I take dogs out on day trips and help them get some extra love and attention. This past summer, I worked at a dog boarding business where I looked after all kinds of pets every day. I really love being around animals and treat every one of them like my own! 🩷 I only work a couple days a week for just a few hours, so I have plenty of time to hang out, play, and give your pup all the attention they need! I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to adjust for walks, drop-ins, or boarding when needed. I live in an apartment with lots of great walking areas nearby, especially around campus. I love letting dogs feel at home—whether that means cuddling on the couch or sleeping in bed with me. If your dog prefers or needs to be crated, I can easily do that too. I always make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable.
“Syd went above and beyond giving Walter an incredible night, we would book again in a heartbeat. He was super accommodating to Walter’s needs (separation anxiety), and walked him thru the Zoo lights. One of the best rovers we’ve ever booked!”

“Kelly is wonderful! We have a one-year-old male German Shepherd, Otto, and he had such a great time with Kelly. German Shepherds are not always the easiest dogs to handle, but Kelly did an amazing job. She was also so communicative and flexible with us - we are so grateful to have found her! We will absolutely be returning with Otto.”
“Tyler was excellent! He was in constant communication with me and my husband sending us photos of Winnie. He took her on a walk which was more than expected. By the end of the day she was snuggling with him belly up! Clearly she felt comfortable which is so important.”

“Jane is the sweetest dog whisperer! I appreciate that she is active with our pup by playing ball and going on walks. It’s a fun filled with play and cuddles. We are so grateful when we can book Jane! She fills up fast!”

About: I’m Olivia and I love all animals, but dogs hold a special place in my heart and I can’t wait to meet yours! In addition to helping care for family pets for as long as I can remember, I have over 13 years experience caring for friends and neighbor’s dogs. I’m confident caring for all breeds, age, and size of dog! I began boarding and dog-sitting on Rover in 2019. I’m actively accepting new clients and excited to meet some new pups! ......... I have a 5 y.o. Goldendoodle, Mookie, who is my world. In addition to caring for him, I’d love to help you care for your babe. I take caring for pets very seriously, and wish to make it a positive experience for everyone! I am responsible, kind, and timely. I look forward to cuddling, playing, walking, and caring for your fur baby! Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions. Currently I WFH and am available for boarding and occasional drop in visits. Your pet will be given my undivided attention during my time caring for them! I have one dog who no longer uses a crate while I am out of the house, but I can crate your pet upon request. All necessary measures are taken if I need to leave your fur baby alone for any reason (ex. Crating, calming music, medicine, etc.- whatever you specify that makes your baby comfortable!)
“Lisa was amazing with our dog! We were so nervous because it was his first time staying with someone other than family and Lisa eased all our fears, answered questions, and sent several updates throughout the day, including pictures of our sweet boy enjoying his day! We are so grateful and will definitely go to Lisa again!”

About: I have been actively involved in training and caring for my parents’ dog since 2020 and regularly pet-sit for their Border Collie and cat when they are out of town. I also frequently care for my sister’s two Australian Shepherds and have looked after them for months at a time while she travels. In addition to my pet-care experience, I nannied children ranging from 9 months to 7 years old throughout college, which strengthened my ability to manage multiple responsibilities, stay calm under pressure, and respond effectively in unexpected situations. I am confident in my ability to safely manage pets, maintain routines, and handle emergencies with care and professionalism. I am currently in my final year of law school, and I bring the same reliability, attentiveness, and responsibility to caregiving that I do to my academic and professional commitments. Pet care fits into my routine as a law student with a flexible schedule. Outside of classes, I prioritize caring for pets and enjoy building it into my day. I currently have ample availability to play with, walk, and care for pets without rushing. I am available for boarding on weekends and for weekday care on Wednesdays and Fridays at any time or Mondays before 2:00pm. I take safety, trust, and consistency very seriously in both my home and my clients’ homes. I carefully follow all provided instructions regarding feeding, routines, medications, and behavior. I maintain a clean, calm environment, supervise pets closely, and use positive reinforcement. I am attentive to signs of stress or illness and communicate promptly with owners. While I do not have a yard, I live very close to Ault Park and love to walk dogs there.
“Thank you, Ryan, for taking good care of Kona today! He had a great time hanging out with him today and will definitely look again next time we're in neighborhood!”

About: I’ve been a pet owner the past 4 years. I’ve always had a love for animals and have been trusted to stick to a dogs schedule as far as feeding, walking, playing, etc. for many different breeds. I’ve been living in Cincinnati the past year and know lots of great parks. I work from home Monday- Friday 9-5. I also have full weekend availability so I will have plenty of time to care for your dog while I’m home I live in an apartment complex with a fenced in back yard and also a small dog park. Outside accessibility is no problem or if your dog prefers more time inside that is fine as well. Crates are welcome and pets are allowed on couch.
About: I’ve grown up with a variety of dogs, and have had 2 dogs on my own since moving out of my family home. I have taken care of senior dogs and am currently starting over with a puppy. I am training my puppy now, so I am able to help with basic training techniques. I currently work from home 2 days a week and have a dog walker stop by on the days I am in the office (for any overnight stays). I normally do 3-4 walks with my pup already and love playing fetch in the backyard or taking to an open space to run for off leash trained dogs. I have a decent size back yard that is fenced in on 3 sides, I normally let my dog run with his leash on while I’m out back with him. I have a puppy who loves to play who can keep your dog company while here. Dogs are allowed to free roam the house at all times (if potty trained) and will get plenty of walks/playtime while here. I can crate if needed.

“Dirk was great! He met my babies and they started to get warmed right up! Bo was nervous and Dirk was calm and willing to let him choose when he as ready to snuggle. Super awesome and helpful with local tips about Cincinnati!”

Genny made me feel comfortable with pre-visit questions and planning, offering a meetup, too. Super patient with my puppy and gave a great balance of rest and multiple run activities in her neighborhood. Bonus was her location (spring of 2025!) so close to a dog park!
