“Amy was very thorough, making sure that all 4 of my cats were cared for properly instead of just the one who is comfortable with strangers. She also did the less pleasant chores like litter boxes and water dishes, instead of skipping it until the last day and hoping I wouldn't notice. Overall, she was a pleasure to work with and very good at what she does. I'll definitely try to book her again for my next vacation.”
“Cathy was fantastic looking after our cats. We got lots of photos each day, which our previous Rover didn’t do. We will definitely have Cathy watch our cats next time we head out of town.”
“Lauren was fantastic. This was my first pet-sitting experience and she made me feel very comfortable. She was great at communicating, responsive, capable and pleasant. She sent pictures of my cat from each visit. I would 100% rebook with her.”
“Thank you, Tiarra! This was the first drop-in visit Tiarra provided for my kitties and it sounds like everything went smoothly based on the notes from the visit. The kitties seemed happy when I got home :)”
“Brooke was great! My mother had passed away, on a Tuesday, funeral on Thursday ( was out of town), and Brooke was an angel to check up on the dogs on such short notice. Highly recommend Brooke.”
“Hannah is a great pet-sitter! Our cats were in good hands while we were out of town, and we enjoyed the daily report and pictures. Will definitely have Hannah watch them for future trips!”
“Our fur babies have been very happy with Danica and it is so comforting to know they aren’t stressing while we are away. We have asked Danica to visit multiple times and will continue to do so!”
“Joseph fed our cats twice a day and stuck to the schedule we requested. He was timely and provided updates throughout our trip. He went above and beyond by removing the litter box trash from the apartment and refilling the food storage container.”
“Sophia is the best!! She took great care of our kitty while we were on vacation. She spent lots of time playing & giving our cat lots of love. Sophia communicated with us everyday & followed instructions. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and I have been helping take care of my family friend’s pets for a few years now. I love animals and I love being able to help and take care of them!! I also like to walk and run so I can take your pets on all the walks or runs they want/need! I am currently working part time and I am a college student but I will have plenty of time to take care of your animals!! I have a great manageable schedule to fit your animals needs into my weekly routines!! I have an invisible fence to keep my dog in along with a white picket fence and a nice front and back yard to allow her to play in.
“Nigel was so wonderful from start to finish. He was great about communicating and asking questions about specifically what we needed. We were nervous because we had never left our cat in the care of someone we weren’t related to before, but Nigel made us feel so much better with a meet n greet beforehand. It was clear that Nigel took great care of her and that she was so comfortable with him. He made sure to complete all the care tasks we asked of him and sent us pictures so we could see our cat while we were gone. We will definitely book with him again.”
“I was in town for a funeral and needed a place to board my cat. Payton was available and was able to watch him for about 8 hours. She kept him in a comfortable space away from her pets and even sent me a photo to assure me that he was adjusting to the surroundings. I would highly recommend Payton to anyone wishing to board their pet in the Northern Kentucky area.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and have always ended up having dogs that are in some cases special needs. I truly love to be around animals because their happiness is so pure. I am a nurse by day and an animal cuddler by night. I am able to give medication’s. I work on basic commands. I have taken care of dogs from puppies to senior. If there is something specific that needs to be taken care of while taking care of your loved one, I will definitely work something out. I am currently taking a vacation between my travel contract for nursing and will be available throughout the day. If there is a specific time or day that works best for you, I will try to make it as easy on you as possible. I typically will have the animal on a leash if there is not a fenced in backyard. Of course, depending on the situation I will allow the owner to guide me on how they prefer to have the animal leashed and will take the precautions necessary to keep them safe.
About: I am a huge animal lover. I will spoil your fur baby like no other! I am able to give pets medicine and shots if they require them. I will play with your fur baby and I’ll treat them as my own! I am very reasonable with my rates and I have plenty of references who can attest. I also like to come over to the potiental house of the animal I will be watching so I can learn things about them and meet them in person. I like to do this because I want to be prepared for when I am staying in your home. I do work part time. If you have any more questions please don’t hesitate to ask me. Have a nice day hope to hear from you. Pet care fits in to my daily or weekly routine by being able to stop in after work or before work or even on a weekend to help with other pet parents who work long hrs I will make sure I have eyes on the pets at all times. If it is a drop in visit I will make sure to be outside playing with them
About: Since I was a child, I’ve felt a deep, pure, and noble love for animals. To me, dogs and cats are not just pets — they are loyal, loving souls. They are the children life gives us on four paws, and one of the most beautiful kinds of companionship you can experience.This special connection drives me to care with my whole heart. If you choose me as your pet’s caregiver, you can trust that I’ll offer them all the love, respect, and patience I have. I treat every animal like family, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and deeply loved. You won’t regret it. ❤️ I’m currently available part-time from Monday to Thursday, and on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays I have full availability to care for your cat or dog throughout the day or as many hours as needed. I’m happy to adapt to their routines and needs, always with love and dedication. Care in my apartment is filled with all the love and respect your pets deserve. It’s a calm, safe, and cozy space where they can truly feel at home. We also have beautiful green areas nearby for playtime and walks, and a dog park close by- perfect for fun and social time if they’re used to it. Here, they’ll not only be well cared for… they’ll be happy.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs of all ages and sizes. My friends and family have continually trusted me with their furry children and they always have a great time! I am currently working part time so have plenty of time to play with your pet and give them the attention and care they need. I will keep your dogs routine as similar as it would be if you were home including any specific instructions you have for me. I will treat your fur baby as my own.

Johangely B.
“I’m a big animal lover, and my pets are like my babies. I used to worry a lot whenever I had to travel, wondering who I could trust to care for them. But ever since Johangely started watching them, that worry has completely disappeared. She treats my pets with love, respect, and so much care. While I’m away, she always keeps me updated with photos and videos, follows all my feeding instructions, and, most importantly, gives them the affection and attention they need. My pets are always happy and relaxed with her, and I feel totally at ease knowing they’re in such great hands. I highly recommend her!”

In addition, she is extremely accommodating and flexible when it comes to working with my schedule. Jessyca goes out of her way to ensure Mancha's safety and to provide him with a loving environment. I wholeheartedly recommend her as your dog's caregiver.”

Sophia was very good! I left instructions and she wasn’t confused about anything and didn’t have to ask me anything. I can tell she cares for animals and I felt safe with them in her care especially this being my first time using rover. She exceeded my expectations.
