Cat Sitting Dunlap

“Mary is amazing! First time using a drop in visit service on Rover. She took great care of my two girls and they loved her! I absolutely would recommend Mary and I 100% will use her again.”

“Charlotte was so awesome! She learned how to do Stonks' insulin and gave him a lot of love and attention. When he ended up getting sick, she was extremely communicative and took extra time out of her day to watch him and keep me updated as I made the trek back home. Would absolutely use her again!”

About: Long time lover of animals, and dog and cat dad myself. I know how important it is to have trusted sitters for our furry family members and I take that trust seriously! Open mostly on weekend and in evenings, but have some flexibility overall! Let me know what you need and I am happy to work with you on a solution! I approach pet care with a Betty White philosophy. Pets are extended family members, with personalities and should be loved, cared for a respected. Be like Betty.

About: Ive been around pets my entire life and have years of hands on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, litter box care, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I always follow the owners instructions closely and make sure pets feel safe abs comfortable while they're in my care I currently work part-time on Mondays, Tuesdays Thursdays, and Saturdays, ( sometimes they don’t schedule me all days) and I attend college during the week. My school schedule is fairly flexible with no more than two classes per day, usually lasting around 2 hours each. This gives me plenty of time between classes and work to care for pets, provide walks, drop in visits, and spend time with pets staying with me. I'm also available for boarding and overnight care. On weekdays, drop-off and pickup times may need to be arranged around my class schedule, but I'm happy to work with owners to find a time that works for both of us. My days off from work are Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, so I have even more flexibility on those days. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable space with plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, meals, and bathroom breaks based on their normal routine. I keep a close eye on them and make sure they feel relaxed and cared for while there away from home. In a clients home, I follow the owners instructions closely and try to keep the pets routine as normal as possible. I'm respectful of the home, keep things clean, and make sure the pet gets the care, attention, walks, feeding, and companionship they need. I'm also happy to send updates and photos do owners know how their pet is doing.

About: Hi, I’m Nicole! For me, pet care has never been a side job—it’s always been part of who I am. For more than 20 years, I’ve volunteered with veterinary clinics, no-kill shelters, SPCAs, rescue organizations, kennels, and dog daycares, caring for animals of every age, breed, personality, and need. Throughout my life, people have joked that animals are simply drawn to me, and honestly, it’s one of the greatest compliments I could receive. Building trust with them comes naturally, and there’s nothing more rewarding than watching an anxious dog relax, a shy dog gain confidence, or an excited pup light up when they realize it’s time for our next adventure. After spending years as a Business Operations Manager, my company unexpectedly closed after 108 years in business. Rather than simply finding another corporate job, I decided to follow the passion that’s been in my heart all along—devoting my time to caring for animals. This isn’t something I’m squeezing into an already busy schedule. This is my career. My availability is intentionally built around the pets I care for, which means your dog receives my full attention, flexibility, and commitment. Every service I provide is designed as a boutique, concierge experience, thoughtfully tailored to your family’s routine and your pet’s unique personality, needs, and happiness at every turn. Whether we’re exploring a trail, playing enrichment games, keeping routines consistent while you’re away, or simply sharing quiet companionship, my goal is always the same: to make your pet feel safe, understood, loved, and genuinely excited to see me every time I arrive. I don’t want to be someone who just walks your dog or checks a box on your to-do list. I want to become someone your pet trusts, looks forward to, and feels completely comfortable with—while giving you absolute peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for with the same love, patience, and devotion I give my own dogs, Bubba and Pippa, who are truly family to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I fit into my day—it’s what I intentionally make time for. Every service I provide is personalized and thoughtfully tailored to both your pet and your family’s unique routine, preferences, and lifestyle. I take the time to understand what makes your companion feel safe, happy, and comfortable while also making your time away as stress-free as possible. Whether it’s adventure walks, enrichment, puppy or kitten guidance, medication administration, senior support, transportation, or simply maintaining familiar routines, every visit is designed around your pet’s individual needs. My goal is to become a trusted extension of your family, providing dependable, compassionate care and giving you complete peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and emotional well-being will always be my highest priorities. Every service I provide is thoughtfully personalized—not just for your pet, but for your entire family. I take time to learn your routines, preferences, house rules, training methods, and expectations so my care feels like a seamless extension of your own. I strictly follow all pet parent instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise limitations, behavioral cues, crate or free-roam preferences, and any special care needs. Consistency helps pets feel secure, so I strive to maintain the routines they’re already comfortable with. For exercise and enrichment, I carefully choose safe, pet-friendly environments. Depending on your comfort level and your pet’s personality, adventures may include favorite neighborhood walking routes, trusted dog parks, nature trails, or supervised play on a private, family-owned seven-acre property with large, securely fenced areas where dogs can safely explore, sniff, and play. Every outing is tailored to your pet’s age, temperament, energy level, and training. Whether I’m caring for an energetic puppy, a curious cat, a senior companion, or a pet with medical or behavioral needs, I prioritize patience, positive reinforcement, enrichment, and careful observation. You’ll receive thoughtful updates, photos, videos, and honest communication after every visit because I know you’re trusting me with a beloved member of your family. My goal is never to simply “watch” your pet—it’s to become a trusted, familiar friend they genuinely look forward to seeing while giving you complete confidence that they’re receiving the same love, attention, and care I’d give my own.

“My introduction to ROVER was a very positive one. First of all, Shanta did a great job of communicating what we could expect and the services she provides. During the 5 days we were on vacation, I always knew I could call or text to see how our cat, Simon, was doing. In fact, she even sent us pictures of Simon during his stay. And when we needed to pick him up earlier than expected, Shanta was very accommodating. Overall, it was a good experience.”

Bonnie B.

“Rayme did a wonderful job caring for our sweethearts while we were out of town. She was responsive, thorough, detail oriented, and made sure each kitty got individual attention, all of which kept this type A fur mom feel a lot less anxious. They also all seemed to really love her. Would absolutely book with her again!”

“She was great with my grumpy old boy! She gave him his shots, sat with to give him company, and made sure his area was clean every day.”

About: I have worked at a doggy daycare as well as fostered and volunteered at the shelter. I also have raised dogs my whole life and have three of my own. I have dealt with administering medicine at the doggy daycare and taking care of dogs with needed special care.I also have one cat who I adore!! Fostering is one of my passions in cincinnati when there are animals in need! I work one job only two days a week as well as I am a senior in highschool looking to make money for college as I am about to graduate. I provide a safe care person for dogs in their home as well as when going on a walk I am there for whatever they need.

“Callie was great with communication and solved a problem with a food mixup to make sure our dogs were taken care of. She is definitely someone I recommend for drop in support. Thanks Callie!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, including playful puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I am comfortable administering medications, following special care instructions, and creating a routine that helps pets feel happy and secure. I have also volunteered with 4 Paws for Ability training future service dogs and with Cincinnati Animal CARE walking shelter dogs, giving me experience with many different breeds, personalities, and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and love building trust with each animal I care for. I work a typical Monday-Friday 9–5 schedule, but caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for outside of work. My mornings, evenings, and weekends are available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and giving your pets the attention they need. I love staying active with dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are with me. My home has a fully fenced-in yard, providing a secure space for dogs to enjoy outdoor time and play safely. I also have cats who are used to sharing their space with other animals and are happy to keep to themselves, allowing visiting pets to have a calm, low-stress environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would want for my own home. I follow all instructions closely, maintain pets’ routines, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“My dog loved him and had a great experience”

About: I have taken care of dogs for friends of the family for years. I have taken care of solo dogs, two dogs, and three dogs. I always give the dogs the attention and time they need. I always keep the owners in the loop and send updates. I am currently working full time in a remote position. My remote position involves being in an approved location with my work so I unfortunately will not be able to spend the work day with pets during the week. I am available on weekends. I will not be caring for pets in my home. I have taken care of pets in their own homes and I always follow the instructions set forth

“Peanut was a life saver. We have just had the most chaotic and stressful move ever. He took care of our gems for a month instead of the original week. We were so grateful to not have to keep moving them around. Flash has separation anxiety and Gremlin lost his only known "mom" cat in Nov.”

“Allie was fantastic! My cat takes a while to warm up to strangers and Allie went out of her way to make sure she got the care and treatment she needed, even though my cat wasn’t very pleased about it! Allie was very kind, communicative and respectful of my cat and home. Highly recommend!”

“Mana did a good job taking care of my cats while I was out of town. I will how her again.”

About: Hello my name is Tyler. I’m 40 yrs old and I love spending time with dogs. I have been a dog owner and have trained all my own dogs. Currently I’m unemployed due to having brain surgery at the end of 24’ and then the follow up treatments taking most of 25’. So I have lotsa time, attention, and love to give your pet(s). This is actually my attempt at getting back into the working world. Can’t imagine a much better way to ease back into work than to help some people out with their pet care needs. I have a park walking distance from my house that I can take dogs to run around and use the bathroom and I live in a good area for walks. I am well versed on typical dog etiquette in public around other people and animals. I have experience with all types of dogs large and small. I’m a big guy and can handle the larger breeds pretty well usually, but also caring for the little ones as well. I always prioritize the pet(s) health and safety first, and then having some fun second :). I would love to provide a safe and relaxing spot for your pet(s). Also FYI - for boardings if pickup on the last day is after noon I will ask for a day fee of $35. I’m currently unemployed due to brain surgery I had this time last year to remove a large cancerous tumor. Luckily I recovered beautifully and quickly and am still fully functional, minus a little extra forgetfulness but nothing bad at all. So I’m available all days of the week, and have all my time, attention and love to give your pet(s). I’m very experienced with dogs of all types large, small, u name it. I’m a big guy at 6’4” and about 225 lbs so I can handle em all. I’m also rather calm and quiet which I believe helps animals feel at ease around me. I’d take care of yours as if they were my own! :) I take as much precaution as I can with all animals certainly someone else’s. The animals safety and health are my number one concern when caring for someone’s loved pet(s).
