“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.”
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life! I like to roller skate with my dad’s dog, Bellevue. I think pets should be spoken to like they absolutely know what we are saying. I’m currently in NKY for an extended time for family matters and I am completely free to provide pet care to those who need it. I will give them love and adoration. They will be on leash, unless instructed otherwise… I think daily exercise is important for both human and pets alike.
About: I regularly pet sit for friends and family. 1-3 weeks mostly; but can do just a few days as well. Private home with a fenced yard. Dog lead in yard is available. I love to walk! Short or long walks are all fine with me. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I’ve owned 3 in my adult life. I even fostered a dog for 9 months! It was hard to give her up; but she went to a loving home. I’m honest and trustworthy and dogs just make every day better! I work a pretty flexible schedule. I’m retired so I have lots of time. If your dog likes car rides and public parks…awesome! There’s also 2-3 dog parks not far from my house I have a big yard that's about 70 yards deep and I have a secured lead in both front and back yards. For added safety, I attach an air tag to your pets collar. There are sidewalks all around my neighborhood for safe walks on a leash. I'm not a fan of dog parks. I prefer to select my walking path to ensure your pets safety. I live alone.
“Once again Tori was phenomenal with Trevor! He’s an old grumpy cat, but she is amazing with him!! She gives us detailed updates and goes above and beyond, it lets us have such immense peace whenever we travel that he’s in good hands!!”
“Leeann was incredibly sweet and took wonderful care of our pets. She was very responsive to messages, which we really appreciated! Our only suggestion would be to better utilize the Rover cards to track her visits. Overall, she did a great job, and we’d happily recommend her!”
“Needed a sitter last second and tried Rover for the first time. I’m so glad I picked Mattie! She was super responsive and really was great! And our dog literally loved her during a quick pre-visit and she’s usually wary of new people. I can’t thank Mattie enough!”
“Absolutely fantastic experience with our pet sitter, Erika. She did an amazing job caring for my two cats, who are usually very wary of new people. By the end of her time with them, one of my cats even let her hold him which is a huge milestone and really shows how patient, calm, and gentle she was with both of them. Erika was very professional throughout, followed all instructions carefully, and always replied quickly, which really helped ease my stress while I was away. I felt completely confident knowing my two cats were in great hands. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
About: I have helped and cared for many different types of animals such as cats, dogs, fish, reptiles and more! I love giving animals that extra time and attention they need and have cared for many owners in the past. I have a fairly busy schedule with college and athletics but I am available throughout the day especially during the morning and evening. I am able to work with clients and provide the appropriate care needed for their pets:) Depending on the home, I am able to do whatever is needed to make my clients feel comfortable! I love keeping my own areas tidy and would love to do the same while caring for animals. Cleaning and making sure the animals things stay kept is a must for me and I appreciate being told if something specific needs done. No job is too much for me:)
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a Trauma ICU nurse, I’m naturally attentive, dependable, and calm under pressure. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I love being active and especially enjoy taking dogs on walks, exploring parks, and getting them outside for plenty of exercise and playtime. I’m also happy to help with feeding, medications, and maintaining their usual routine. I’ll send plenty of pictures and updates along the way so you never have to wonder how they’re doing! As a nurse, I work three 12-hour shifts per week, which gives me several full days off and plenty of flexibility for pet care! On my days off, I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, and longer stays. My work schedule varies week to week, but I know my schedule in advance and keep my availability updated so you’ll always know when I’m available. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, potty breaks, and any special needs or preferences. In your home, I’ll be respectful of your space and make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety measures are always secure. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or health and will keep you updated with plenty of pictures and messages while your pet is in my care
About: 12+ years experience. Calm, Patient sitter for anxious or high energy pups. Former Cocker- Spaniel owner. Safe & Loving home. I love caring for animals. My availability is open so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups and give them the attention they need without interruption. Flexible. This is a safe and loving home.

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover with over 14 years of experience caring for dogs of various ages. I have a 5-year-old Australian Shepherd back home, who I personally helped train, and I previously cared for my family’s 14-year-old senior dog in her final days, so I understand the unique needs of both energetic and aging dogs. Spending time with them is incredibly therapeutic for me. I can’t wait to connect with your pup and provide the same love and care I give my own! Whether it’s walks, playtime, or special attention, I’m here to make sure they feel their happiest self! I really miss my dog back at home after moving here so looking to care for dogs occasionally when I have some free time on the weekends :) I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pup. I too, consider my dog my family and I can promise to care for yours in the same way, following any specific instructions you have for me.
About: I have had dogs for all 22 years of my life and would love to help take care of yours! I have experience and am more than comfortable taking care of large dogs, puppies, older dogs and every kind in between. I know how important pets are to us and I would love your furry friend like my own! When with your pet I would love to take them on walks, to dog parks, play fetch, or just hang out on the couch. Anything you already do with them to make them (and you) feel most comfortable. I am a flexible college student who is available for drop-ins to walk your dog, can accept last minute bookings, and anything else you may need. Being a flexible college student, I only have classes 2 days a week and am home or in the area 24/7. I love going on long walks and would love for your pet to join. Where I live also has a small dog park if your animal gets along well with others. I love watching TV/movies at home and your pet to be snuggled up with me. I am also always down for a tug of war, fetch, session, or walk!
“I would definitely recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a pet sitter. I felt very comfortable that my dogs were taken care of while I was away. Next time I am out of town I will use Lauren again to watch my dogs.”
About: Hi! I’m Taylor. I have been a pet lover my entire life and have had pets in the home since I was a baby. Growing up I watched many neighborhood pets and volunteered at the local animal shelter. As an adult I continued my volunteer work and became a pet foster. I just adopted my first fur baby in December. I am a teacher with summers off and would love to spend my days walking, playing and loving on your fur baby. With summer just a few short weeks away I will have a ton of available time and flexibility. I am happy to work with your schedule to plan what works best for you and your fur baby. I have been around animals since the time I was little. When I care for your pet I will give it all of the love and attention I would give my own. I also have had a range of experiences from working at the animal shelter so I have experience with all sizes of pets and a variety of temperaments.

Mattie is wonderful!! This is the 3rd time she’s watched my senior cat and I couldn’t be more pleased. She always keeps me informed, is quick to respond whenever I text her, and sends multiple photos so I know my furry one is well taken care of. I no longer stress while I’m away with Mattie on the job!
AmariYah made this such a great experience, as this was our first time using Rover! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures, and it looks like our pets absolutely loved the experience too! She was very thoughtful and generous with her time, and her care of our little fur babies!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fort Mitchell is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $17 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 2,203 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fort Mitchell. 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 Fort Mitchell. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
