About: I’ve been around animals for years and truly love caring for pets of all personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where every pet is treated like part of the family. I have experience with dogs, cats, puppies, and other pets, and I understand that every animal has their own routine and personality. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight care. I also make sure pet parents receive plenty of updates and photos so they can feel comfortable while they’re away. My goal is simple: happy pets, peace of mind for their humans, and lots of love and attention along the way. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I work from home, which allows me to be present throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I’m able to keep a close eye on the pets in my care and make sure they feel comfortable and included while they’re with me. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so having a furry friend around fits right into my day! 🐾 I want every pet who stays with me to feel like they’re right at home. 🐾 I keep things cozy, relaxed, and comfortable, with plenty of cuddles, playtime, naps, outside time, and attention throughout the day. I do my best to stick to each pet’s normal routine so their stay feels familiar and stress-free. Since I work from home, I’m around throughout the day to keep them company and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love. ❤️

“I am so thankful for Nina's help while I was away for two long days in a row. The dogs were happier and more relaxed when I came home and seeing her reports took away all my guilt for leaving them for the day. It's obvious they had fun and felt loved. I will definitely seek her out again!”

She went above and beyond in every visit and she is at the top of my list for future needs. She really kept my heart at ease when I couldn’t be home and made me feel good about leaving him in her care.”

About: I've had dogs since I was little and currently help take care of four with my parents! I've taken care of dogs big and small as well as those with mobility issues. I'm currently a therapist & I work out in Milford from 7-7 Monday & Tuesday and 7-2 Wednesday-Friday! I'd be available for dog sitting starting Friday nights and weekends, as well as Wednesday and Thursday nights if you're okay with my work schedule! My schedule shifts a lot, so if there's something unavailable that you need, reach out and ask as there's a chance I could be open! I ensure all dogs are safe and cared for by ensuring there are no open containers or anything that could cause a safety hazard, as well as using a crate when necessary

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.

About: I have been incredibly passionate about animals since I was a very young kid. I've owned pets my whole life, & I've volunteered for a year at a local animal shelter in Florida when I was just 15 years old. I have owned two Rottweilers, to a small Maltese, and 2 cats. I occasionally dog sit for friends when they are out of town. I am open to all services, and work a hybrid schedule. I work from home on Wednesday and Friday, and am in office all other work week days from 7:30 to 3pm. I have a spacious home with a good-sized semi-fenced yard. I do own a 3 year old dog who loves being social and meeting new dogs.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced, compassionate pet sitter who truly believes every animal deserves to be treated like family. 🐾 I’ve been a pet owner my entire life and have spent the past 3 years working professionally as a pet sitter through an established pet-care company. I’ve cared for all kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, hamsters, snakes, skunks, and more. I absolutely love animals of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities—including exotic pets and farm animals! 🏡 Dog Boarding in My Home I offer boarding in my home for dogs under 40 pounds. Your dog will be welcomed into a loving, pet-friendly home where they’ll receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and cuddles. I have two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and six cats, so my home is truly an animal-loving environment. Because of my resident pets, I want to make sure every boarding guest is comfortable around other animals and is a good fit for our household. I’m happy to discuss your dog’s personality, routines, and needs ahead of time to make sure everyone has a safe and enjoyable stay. I do not crate pets unless that is your preference or part of their normal routine. 🐾 Care in Your Home — Dogs of Any Size & All Animals For dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting in your home, I’m happy to care for dogs of any size, as well as cats and other animals. Whether you have a tiny puppy, a large dog, multiple pets, or a variety of animals, I can provide loving, dependable care tailored to their individual needs and routines. As someone who has used professional pet-sitting services myself, I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of love while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pets feel happy and cared for—whether they’re staying in their own home and routine or enjoying a vacation at my home. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, kittens, seniors, and pets with special needs. I’m also experienced with administering both oral medications and injections. You’ll receive daily updates (or more frequently if you prefer), including photos, so you never have to wonder how your babies are doing. For your added peace of mind, I carry my own pet-sitting insurance. I’m also a non-smoker and non-drinker. Whether you have one dog, a house full of cats, an exotic pet, or a whole farm of animals, I’d love the opportunity to care for them! ❤️ Please feel free to reach out with any questions about me, my services, or my rates. I’d love to meet you and your pets! 🐾 Flexible, At-Home Pet Care Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to give your pets plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. My flexible work schedule allows me to adjust my hours around your pets’ needs, whether they’re staying in their own home or boarding with me in my home. When your dog stays with me, they won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, and attention throughout the day, while still allowing them to relax and feel comfortable in a home environment. For pets I care for in your home, I can work around their normal routine and provide the individualized care they’re accustomed to. Whether your pet needs regular walks, medication, playtime, extra potty breaks, or simply someone nearby for companionship, my flexible schedule allows me to be there for them. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for—whether they’re staying in their own home or enjoying a stay at mine.❤️ 🐾 Caring for Your Pets in My Home or Yours Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, my priority is always their safety, comfort, and happiness. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs so they receive personalized care and plenty of love and attention. I’m experienced with administering both oral medications and injections, and I’m comfortable following specific instructions to help keep your pet’s routine consistent while you’re away. When I’m caring for your pets in your home, I’m also happy to help with the little things that give you extra peace of mind, including bringing in your mail, watering plants, taking out the garbage, and keeping your home looking lived-in. Most importantly, your pets will receive plenty of companionship, affection, playtime, and attention. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pets are being cared for with the same love and attention I would want for my own. ❤️

I’m really glad Anissa was available to watch my cats the following week. Doing two back-to-back trips was stressful, but I knew I was in good hands. We were able to work out some minor kinks in their care, and it made for a smoother visiting time! She was so good with Azula, and I got plenty of pictures (pictures of Mitski were occasionally included, as long as she was behind the washing machine). :)

Sarah took great care of our very shy Charley! He hid from her for the first few visits but they became huge playtime pals on visit #3 and thereafter. In addition to Charley’s fun and games, Sarah watered indoor and outdoor plants, filled our bird feeders and kept a close eye on our home. I just hope we can get Sarah again the next time we travel!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Evendale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Evendale is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 2,479 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Evendale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Evendale. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
