Top rated Elsmere house sitters
“Jennifer is amazing! We have never felt so comfortable leaving our animals before. All of our fur babies loved her, which is rare for some of our cats. She communicated and sent pictures everyday. I can't say enough good things about her and will have her watch our fur babies again in a heartbeat!”
“Rachel was the best house sitter we've had from Rover so far, and that's saying a lot, because we've had many good and a couple great sitters. Her response time and demeanor were fantastic. She did an additional meet and greet for our German Shepherd to become familiar with her. She was flexible for our meeting times and prompt for all our appointments. For the actual sitting, she gave us a heads up on her availability. Also, we had a long list of requests that she was able to accommodate, including care for our garden. She sent plenty of photos and updates of our animals both having fun and relaxing. We couldn't ask for more.”
“Destiny was absolutely fantastic and took great care of my doggie and even my ferret for 7 whole days! She was consistently in contact with me and went above and beyond while also meeting my unique circumstances with doing house showings while trying to sell my house. Definitely book with her, she’s the best!!”
“This was our first experience hiring a pet sitter and we couldn’t be more pleased with Jessalyn! Our pets were very well taken care of! We have already scheduled with her for next month. Thanks, Jessalyn!”
“Blake was amazing! He came to meet our dogs and asked great questions. He arrived on time and sent pictures! We loved that our dogs were well taken care of and loved while we were gone. Blake left our home perfectly cleaned and the dogs were well cared for. Will absolutely book Blake for future trips we have. Loved having Blake take care of our house and 3 dogs!”

“would highly recommend Tiarra for anything! She left our home in perfect condition and our boys were so happy! She was a great communicator and patient with our temperamental chihuahua.”
“Sean was amazing with our girls. He took our husky on several walks a day and was very understanding of her shy manners. He sent several pictures and videos of them throughout their time together and it was obvious they had a lot of fun. The house was left in great shape and packages were brought inside. Booking with Sean made our vacation truly worry free!”
“Annabeth is amazing! She watched 4 of our pets while we were gone on vacation to St. Augustine. She sent pictures of the pets and had great communication skills. She was very polite and gave us great feedback when we asked about how the stay was because this was our first time using Rover. We have already offered her a 2nd job for the winter if she is available because she did so great. This is the person that you want watching your pets! She put us at ease and we felt that our pets and house were in good hands.”

“Brooklyn was fantastic! She provided us with regular updates, she communicated very well, and she was very reliable. Our dog was very anxious as a result of the fireworks for Fourth of July, and we hated to leave him, but Brooklyn did a great job of taking care of him while we were gone. We will definitely have her watch him again!”
“Joe did an amazing job! Not only with the dogs, but keeping the house looking just as clean if not cleaner than when we left! I was anxious about leaving the boys with a new person for 16 days while out of the country, but Joe eased my mind quickly with updates and pictures of the boys. We will definitely be using him again in the future.”
About: **I’m currently offering lower rates than I normally would in order to get my foot in the door with Rover! :) I can also give first-time users $20 OFF their first booking with my Rover promo code, just start a booking with me and I will share it with you! Thank you so much for supporting a Rover newbie! 💗** Hi! 🤗🐕🩷 I’m Alexus and I have been baby-sitting (pets & humans!) for over 7 years now for family, friends, neighbors, and even strangers who have simply heard good things about me from others! People have kept me as their sitter for years because they know they can count on me to be responsible, attentive, communicative, & honest with them while their babies are in my care! 🐶🐱🐰🐹 I’m down-to-earth, calm, and will always be patient & kind to animals of any kind and will respect your home with utmost care. 🏡💕 When you are missing your babies, don’t hesitate to ask for an extra picture or video of them if you want more! I love taking cute photos of every animal I meet and will spoil them with affection. 🌅💗🐩 I will also strictly adhere to any checklist or request that you have— my mission is to give your baby the stability, love, and care that they expect in their daily routine. Whether it is sitting, boarding, walking, or basic grooming, I will provide the home away from home for them by meticulously following directions for specific exercise regimens, dietary restrictions, training (e.g. taking a puppy out to potty every 30-45 min. & rewarding with praise & treat), medication administration, etc. 🍼🧴🧸🎾💊🦮 I will NEVER, under any circumstance, use punishment or fear-instilling tactics. I am a lifelong dog-lover and a dedicated advocate of humane training & treatment of animals. I am Pet First Aid Certified and dedicated to prioritizing pet safety & comfort in order for them and their parents (you!) to be stress-free. ❤️🐾🌎 I can’t wait to meet-and-greet with you & your fur baby! 🫶🐾 I am a full-time dedicated professional pet care provider for families local to the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area. I understand what it’s like to need a last-minute booking, and I will happily take same-day requests! I am currently available 24/7 for all pet care needs. In my home, your babies will enjoy a squeaky clean, comfortable newly-remodeled living room and guest bedroom, as well as a .5-acre fenced-in backyard (will remain leashed while outside) with enriching landscape in a cozy, quiet tucked-away neighborhood. I allow doggies on the couches, but will gladly redirect any dogs away from furniture through positive reinforcement (NEVER PUNISHMENT) if you would like. In your home, I will meticulously adhere to every standard you request and proactively communicate with you regarding in-home checklists as needed.
“Danielle did a great job taking care of our two dogs and cat while we were on vacation. The daily animal pictures she took and sent to me made out family feel at ease under her care. I would definitely recommend Danielle, she will take great care of your animals as if they were her own.”
“Sophia did a wonderful job house sitting for our kitty who has separation anxiety at night. She sent lots of photos and updates. Our cat really seemed to love her. He also seemed fairly relaxed and not overly needy when we got home. Thanks so much Sophia!”

Elsmere pet parents share their Rover experiences
Words cannot describe how wonderful Laura was; she truly over delivered in every way. Prior to our trip, she came twice to hang with us so our dogs could get comfortable with her (and she with them). She was reliable and trustworthy while we were away – on time, flexible with our needs/routine and extremely communicative about their daily activities, including so many pictures and updates. But the best part was her obvious genuine love for the pups. She gave them so much attention, I’m not sure they wanted us to come home! The icing on the cake was that everything at home was in the exact same condition as when we left. Leaving the 4-legged members of your family with someone and having them stay in your home while you’re gone isn’t an afterthought. I would trust Laura again and again - and can only hope she thinks as highly of us so that we can have her return the next time we leave town! 100/10.
Annabeth is amazing! She watched 4 of our pets while we were gone on vacation to St. Augustine. She sent pictures of the pets and had great communication skills. She was very polite and gave us great feedback when we asked about how the stay was because this was our first time using Rover. We have already offered her a 2nd job for the winter if she is available because she did so great. This is the person that you want watching your pets! She put us at ease and we felt that our pets and house were in good hands.
Joe did an amazing job! Not only with the dogs, but keeping the house looking just as clean if not cleaner than when we left! I was anxious about leaving the boys with a new person for 16 days while out of the country, but Joe eased my mind quickly with updates and pictures of the boys. We will definitely be using him again in the future.
She did outstanding! Words can’t even describe how amazing the house was and how well my dog was taken care of the entire time! Always kept me up to date on how he was doing. Sends plenty of pictures! Above and beyond. Thank you so much for the 30th time!! For sure use you again. Highly recommend. :)
Danielle did a great job taking care of our two dogs and cat while we were on vacation. The daily animal pictures she took and sent to me made out family feel at ease under her care. I would definitely recommend Danielle, she will take great care of your animals as if they were her own.
