About: I’m very good with animals, I have 5 pets of my own including cats and dogs and I also just love animals and want to be around them as much as I can! Right now I’m completely free for the summer and so I would be available to come and take care of them and am even willing to stay over nights but I still live at home so it would have to be at a clients house. I love to play with pets, cuddle or anything else that the specific pet might need. I’m pretty flexible and I’ve dealt with the gross stuff so that doesn’t bother me either.
About: I’m a passionate animal lover with lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats, and more. I’m comfortable with puppies, young pets, senior pets, medications, and all kinds of personalities. I’m the kind of person who truly cares about animals and connects with them quickly. I treat every pet with the same genuine love and attention I give my own, and I’d be honored to care for yours while you’re away. As a small business owner, I have a flexible schedule and the ability to plan my days around your pet’s needs. I’m easygoing but very reliable, and I make sure your pets get consistent, attentive care. When caring for pets in your home, I’m there to take care of them just as you would. I want them to feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible, so I focus on keeping things consistent with their normal routine by following your instructions closely. I know life can be stressful, and I’m here to help make things a little easier by giving you peace of mind that your pet is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’m completely respectful of your space, detail-oriented, and attentive. My goal is to provide reliable, trustworthy care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

If your dog stays with me through out the day/week, they can go to the restroom whenever and get constant cuddles! I am willing to feed, play, and walk your dogs.

“Katherine did a great job taking care of my three cats. She did everything I asked and even sent me pictures of them. Her fee was very reasonable. I will use her to watch my cats again in the future if needed!”
“Cathy was great with my cats. My shy cat even came around to her. She communicated with me daily while on vacation. I was able to enjoy my vacation so much more knowing my cats were well taken care of.”
About: As a college student-athlete, I’m dependable, active, and flexible with my schedule. I have previous dog-sitting experience and genuinely enjoy caring for pets, keeping them active, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away I am a part time tennis pro at Five Seasons Sports Country Club as well as a student at Thomas More University. I have my summer schedule and I have lots of availability during the week to take care of families best friends. I currently live in an apartment and don’t have the availability to keep others pets in my residence. However, I will travel to many different areas making sure pets stay on their normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and attention, while also keeping the home clean, secure, and respected. I understand how important trust and communication are, so I always provide updates and make sure owners feel comfortable while they’re away.
About: I have been around all kinds of animals since I was born! Growing up, my family ran the county animal shelter. With this, my family and I have fostered animals since I was 3! I have experience with cats, dogs, bunnies, and horses, all of various breeds, sizes, and ages. I have trained service animals and have even been the veterinary assistant in a surgery on one of my Great Danes. I am currently working towards pursuing a career in service animal and K-9 unit training. I love all animals and hopefully you choose me to love yours! I currently work full-time as a social worker. Despite this, I have a lots of free time to spend with your furry friend! I love animals and adjust my schedule to make time for them. I make my own schedule and my job is hybrid, so it is very easy to flex my schedule around your animals needs! Being a recent college grad, I don’t have any animals of my own yet. However, with my clients I have varied care depending on your service! With walking and home care services, I make sure to put all items back where I got them (leash, toys, etc) and make sure the pet has fresh water and food if applicable. In all home services, I make sure to leave the home better than when I got there!
About: I have been a pet owner all my life and always have had a passion for animals growing up. I have been professionally pet sitting for many years now. I have 2 rescue dogs named Gemma and Ollie who I absolutely adore. I enjoy what I do and would be happy to watch your fur babies! I do accounting during the day but work from home so I have plenty of time to care and play with your pups! I have flexible drop off and pick up times too because of working remotely. I have a fenced yard with 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. We also have a camera to keep an eye on your pups if we step out for a bit.
“Destiny was great. She responded fast and always checked in with us with any questions and updates about our dogs. She sent us pictures each time she took care of our two dogs. I highly recommend Destiny and we'll be sure to book her again next time if she's available.”
About: From the day I was born, I've been around dogs. I've always been the caretaker type, so I've been caring for them and loving dogs since I was young. When I was 18, I got my first dog, Tucker. I raised him from the time he was 8 weeks old up until the day he passed at 15. He was my soul dog. At age 14, he had to have both of his eyes removed, so I have personal experience with blind dogs. I now have my heart dog, Zoie, who I’ve put through training with Roaming Rover’s. I’m also an active volunteer at Cincinnati Animal CARE so I interact with all types of dogs. I typically do walk group or day trips there so I’ve handled dogs of all sizes and personalities! I'm currently working full-time from home but I have a lot of flexibility and can really work from anywhere as long as I have my phone and/or access to the internet. Again, I'm pretty flexible and can really make just about any time work to come play with your pups and/or walk them! I work fully remote so I’m able to let your dog out/walk them as often as needed! My dog gets several walks per day with plenty of opportunity to get energy out. Also, since going through training, I’ve learned a lot about enrichment for dogs and how that looks different for each dog.
“Missy was so wonderful with my puppy Corbin! I had zero concerns leaving him in her hands. She was very communicative, followed directions, was respectful of my home, and was detailed in her updates. The photos she included in her updates were the highlight of my day! I could tell she really enjoyed her time with him and he was having fun and felt safe with her. Thank you so much, Missy!!!”
About: I’ve spent my entire life around animals, and for the last decade, I’ve been the "go-to" sitter for friends, family, coworkers, and even my college professors! My background as a nanny of five years means I bring an extra level of responsibility, patience, and organization to every pet I care for. I am comfortable with all pets - from tiny kittens to medium-breed dogs. I am familiar with the gentle care required for aging dogs and cats, including managing special dietary needs and restricted routines. You can expect me to treat your home and your pets with the same level of professional care I provided to families as a nanny for half a decade! Whether your pet is high-energy and needs a trip to the park or is anxious and needs a quiet evening of companionship, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and pampered while you’re away! Though I can't board on-site due to my lease, I am happy to do in-house visits, go out on walks, etc. I work full-time, but have flexibility around the lunch hours and in the evening. I am available most evenings and weekends. I am very committed to helping make sure pets are as comfortable as possible when they're missing their people! I care just as much about making sure your fur-baby has company and enough human connection during your time away as I do that they are being fed and watered!
About: Hi! I’m Reagan, and I’m from Northern Kentucky. I recently graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree in Kinesiology, and I’ll be starting a career in orthopedic medical device sales in a few months. Until then, I wanted to spend my extra time doing something I genuinely love — being around animals! I’ve been dog sitting and caring for pets since high school, so I have about 6 years of experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. While Rover is a great way to make extra cash, I’m honestly doing this because I truly love animals and enjoy spending time with them. I currently have 3 dogs of my own: Roman (a Sheltie), Weller (a Lab), and Winnie (a rescued Lab mix we found on the side of the road and kept!). Having multiple dogs has taught me the importance of patience, exercise, attention, and routine when caring for pets. I have the most experience with dogs, including walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime, but I’m also comfortable caring for cats. I’m active, dependable, and will treat your pets like my own! I currently have a very flexible schedule before starting my full-time job in a few months, so I have plenty of time for your pets! I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the week and weekends. I’m active, reliable, and happy to help keep your pets comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routines and instructions while treating them like my own. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and pictures so you know they’re in good hands!
“Beth is great with our girls. Her communication is always timely. She’s so sweet and loves our girls like they are her own. Lilly our rescue warmed up to her quickly which is always a great sign!”
About: For years of my life I’ve not only cared for myself but also for my pets. Day to day I make sure that they live the happiest life possible! Every morning I like to greet my fur friends and feed them their breakfast before I leave. Whenever I return I give them all the love they deserve while they accompany me throughout the rest of my day. I also play with them when they feel energetic and then at their dinner time I feed them. Most of the time I let them approach me before interacting and when sleeping or tired I give them the most of their pets. I let them be curious to an extent and I love them every second I can get!

Elsmere dog parents share their Rover experiences
Thanks for everything this last week! You’ve been amazing. Thanks for all the pictures and the toys you left for them. You really didn’t have to do that but it’s much appreciated! I’m sure the toy truck was just a result of some anxiety from being left home alone. I hate leaving them home like that but having someone like you stop by sure helps. And it looks like Petey warmed up to you pretty well!
Laura has been absolutely amazing with my dog. She does weekend check-ins and walks for us, and I genuinely couldn’t ask for anyone better. My dog can be a little more challenging than most, but Laura is incredibly patient, thoughtful, and attentive with him. She really takes the time to understand his personality and needs instead of just going through the motions. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. You can tell she truly cares about the dogs she works with, and that makes all the difference. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and dedicated. She goes above and beyond every time.
