She always sends updates and photos daily which are greatly appreciated. Best sitter in the world!”

Great communication - She is quick to respond and sent daily updates with pictures. I mentioned it was Murphys birthday and she bought him a treat and new toy. Cannot say enough good things, thank you!”

When dropping Howie off I could tell he was at a good home with a loving family. Anna sent updates every day and Howie seemed so happy with his stay. When I picked him up he almost didn’t want to leave. My experience boarding with Anna was amazing and I’d recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a nice place for their dog to stay. Thank you Anna! I’ll be sure to use you again for any future travel plans.”

“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.”

Elsmere dog parents share their Rover experiences
Unfortunately, we were not able to leave our dogs with Danielle for the week through no fault of her own! She was kind and caring to the situation that had occurred. My dogs are very sweet but were marking their territory and couldn’t stay. I am confident that Danielle would be great for any other family searching for a place to leave their pups for a vacation! Thanks Danielle for making a very stressful situation the best that you could!
This was our first experience using Rover and I was really nervous. Rachelle did a great job at answering all my questions and quelling my nerves. She took excellent care of my fur babies, and communicated well. If we’re ever back in the Cincinnati area, I would definitely use her as a boarder for my dogs again.
I couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care my dog received while I was away for Easter. My sitter went above and beyond, especially when I had to unexpectedly extend my trip by a day — they were incredibly accommodating and understanding. Communication was smooth, and I had full peace of mind knowing my pup was in great hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Christeen was awesome! I could tell instantly from the initial meeting with Christeen they would feel right at home and would be treated great. She was very thorough with her care plan for them and kept us updated often throughout the week. She treated them as they were her own. I will definitely be using her services again in the future. If you want to relax while your away and not stress about your pets care, go with Christeen!!!
