About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I will regularly keep you updated with visits and can follow whatever special instructions necessary! I’ll treat your pet like family and hopefully keep them from missing you too much. I have a background in teaching swim, which has taught me lots of patience, responsibility, and carefulness. While I am currently away at school, at home I took care of my 2 dogs - feeding them daily, walking them twice a week, and bathing them biweekly. This was part of my responsibilities at home and still help with them when I go home to visit. When I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will do my best to ensure they feel comfortable and are sticking to their normal routine. I will respect your, and their space and give them lots of love!

About: Hello! I know that I would be a wonderful pet sitter for you as I truly understand how much your dog means to you as I am a dog parent myself. I have a 9 year old Bluetick Coonhound who has taught me the importance of patience, consistently, attention, and-of course-plenty of pets and playtime! I treat every pet in my car as if they are my own, taking the time to learn their personality, routine, and individual needs. My goal is to not only provide dependable care, but to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. My regular work allows me the opportunity to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I have the flexibility to provide attention, potty breaks, walks, feeding, and playtime throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for long periods of time. During drop in visits, I provide dependable, personalized, care in the comfort of your pet’s home. I can accommodate their regular routine by providing potty breaks, fresh food and water, attention, playtime, and walks when appropriate. Most importantly, I focus on making each visit a positive experience by giving your pet companionship, comfort, and the individual care they need while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of my friend's dogs off and on for a few years, and I have found I excel at taking care of pets, the way owners take care of their own! I work from home and I'm able to give your dog my full attention. I work from home, so I am able to give give full attention to your pet as needed! My weekends are pretty quiet, But I do sometimes go out to play shows on the weekends. I'm fully capable of taking the dog out, feeding, walking, and other tasks as instructed. I'm unable to wash, groom, or cut nails. I simply don't have experience in those aspects

About: Hi, I’m Diana! With over 10 years of experience caring for animals, I provide loving and reliable pet care tailored to your furry friend’s needs. As a proud cat parent to two kittens, I offer boarding for well-behaved dogs that get along with cats. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, or a cozy home while you're away, I’ll treat them like family. I can’t wait to meet your pup or kitty—let’s make their stay comfortable and fun! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I work close to home, which allows me to check in on the animals in my care frequently, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. I start my mornings with feeding, walks, and cuddles, and I make sure each pet gets the care they need according to their routine. In the evenings, I spend extra time engaging with them, whether that’s going for a walk, playing, or just providing a cozy, comforting environment. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive and personalized care, so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry friends are well taken care of. In my home, I ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide a structured routine with regular feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of playtime and affection. Since I have two kittens, I only board dogs that are well-behaved around cats to maintain a calm and happy environment for everyone. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize following their established routine to keep pets comfortable and minimize stress. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they may need, such as medication or specific training cues. I also provide regular updates to pet parents, so they can feel at ease knowing their furry friends are in good hands. Whether in my home or theirs, I treat every pet like family!

About: I have always loved animals and have experience dog sitting and cat sitting. I also love walking dogs since I love the extra exercise :) I’m great with scheduling and making sure to always be available when possible! One thing I promise to not be, is a flake! I love animals and have a dachshund of my own who I’ve raised since a puppy. Safety of your fur baby to me is always the first most important thing I value! I promise to respect your needs and care for your pet in the best way I can as my own:)

“Megan is an amazing sitter who took great care of my special needs dog when I had to leave town for work. She gave him his insulin without any issues and gave me great notes on how the visit went. 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.”

“Best Rover sitter I have had thus far! They’ve all been great but he was especially detailed with how they all did each day and I could tell he was paying attention because it really fit each personality exactly. He took lots of pictures and touched on the shy one getting attention because she loves it but doesn’t seek it out. Had total peace of mind. He also stayed a little extra time which I so appreciated. Really above and beyond!”

About: I have a 5 year old golden doodle and a 1 year old orange kitty. I have had my fair share of experience with wild and hyper pets, i love them all the same. I have helped my friends and family for years take care of pets while they are out of town. My goldendoodle is nearly 100 pounds so I am not afraid of taking care of or walking big dogs, as long as there is no history of aggression. :) I work a 9-5 M-F so if needed I can help before work feed your pets can check in on them. I prefer evening work as I know I will be off work by 5. I am happy to check in on your pets until 10 PM and walk them until sunset. I pay attention to detail and will make sure your pets are in a safe environment while you are away! Your pet will be safe and loved by me as if you were home yourself.

About: I have had pets for my whole life. Most of my friends called my house a "zoo" growing up because of the wide range of animals we had around the house, from puppies to snakes to pigs- we had it all. When caring for another animal, I treat it like it were my own. I always saw my pets as an extension of my own family and want to treat all animals the same way. I am currently home from college right now, so I am flexible. I have 3 pets of my own who I take care of, other than that I am free. It depends on the pet and their individual needs. I have a dog, but he is extremely active and loves being outdoors, so letting him out every hour or couple minutes is important for him. Whereas, another dog may not enjoy. being outside as much or have certain medical needs that prevents them from running. I love cuddling up on the couch with my pets (dog and two cats), and giving them affection. I also enjoy spending time with them by getting them active and playing their favorite games/ toys.

About: I’ve been the designated pet sitter for my family and friends for as long as I can remember, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I also have two cats of my own who I absolutely adore. I’m comfortable following specific routines, giving lots of attention and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent check ins, attention, playtime, walks, and care based on your pet’s normal routine. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I’m very careful about doors, food, medications, and anything your pet could get into. I have two cats of my own, so keeping pets safe and comfortable is something I take very seriously.

About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and that hands-on experience is what I bring to every walk. I understand dog body language, pacing, leash manners, and how to read when a dog needs a break or a bit more activity — not from a course, but from years of actually living with dogs day to day. I treat every walk the same way I would for my own dog: attentive, on time, and focused entirely on their safety and comfort for the full duration. Whether your dog is high-energy, a little nervous around new people, or just needs a steady routine, I adjust to what they need rather than running a one-size-fits-all walk. You can expect clear communication before and after every visit, so you always know exactly how things went. My schedule is flexible throughout the day, so dog walking isn't squeezed into a narrow window — it's a real part of my daily routine. That means I can offer consistent mid-morning, afternoon, or early evening walks, and I'm also able to accommodate last-minute requests or changes in timing without it being a scramble. If your schedule shifts week to week, I can usually adjust to match it. Safety is the first thing I think about with every walk. When I arrive, I double-check that all doors and gates are secure before I bring your dog out, and I make sure the leash and collar or harness are properly fitted before we leave — no slipping out mid-walk. I stick to routes I know well, avoid off-leash areas unless specifically asked, and keep a close eye on other dogs, traffic, and anything that could startle or spook your dog. I always carry water on hot days and adjust the pace or length of the walk based on weather and how your dog is doing that day. Before I leave, I make sure your home is exactly as I found it — doors locked, lights as they were, nothing out of place. If anything ever comes up during a walk, you'll hear from me right away, not after the fact.

About: I grew up in a home full of animals and have been caring for pets my whole life. My family always had dogs—everything from a Yorkie and Dalmatian to two Beagles and a sweet white Boxer who was deaf—so I’m comfortable with a wide range of breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I also cared for rabbits, chickens, and several guinea pigs, giving me experience with different types of pets and their unique needs. Whether it’s dogs or other small animals, I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like part of the family. My schedule is best suited for weekend sitting, as I work full-time as a second grade teacher and usually have evening yoga classes or seasonal volleyball matches during the week. However, I can be flexible depending on the week—just let me know in advance and I’ll do my best to accommodate! I take pet safety and comfort seriously, and I always treat every animal as if they were my own. Your pet will get plenty of snuggles, attention, and a calm, caring environment while they’re with me. I’m happy to do walks as needed, follow your pet’s routine, and make sure they feel secure and loved the entire time. My goal is for you to feel confident that your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Hyde Park, Cincinnati, OH, 45208

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, and I've cared for other people's pets for ten years. Every week I walk dogs and run pet sitting visits around Hyde Park and Oakley, so the routine is second nature: leash clipped, water fresh, doors checked twice. Every pet gets your process, not mine. Tell me about feeding schedules, allergies, food sensitivities, medications, grooming and exercise once, and I follow them to the letter. You get photos and notes after every visit. I'm most available on weekday afternoons and evenings from 3 PM, and on weekends. Mornings fill with regular walking clients, so send your dates early and I'll confirm quickly. Cats are part of my everyday life. When my mother passed, I took in her cats rather than rehome them, and their care opens and closes every day for me. I keep a lab level standard of clean and serious air filtration, so allergens stay low. Healthy diets, food allergy plans, seasonal natural remedies and supplements, dental care and regular checkups are routine in my home. In yours, I follow your rules, lock up behind me, and leave everything as I found it.

“Jared was absolutely amazing! He checked it throughout the day and took wonderful care of our dog. We also had cats in the house that he kept an eye on even though he normally doesn't take cats! He was able to learn how our dog is in such a short time and really bonded with him. Will absolutely use and recommend him in the future.”

Breanna was such a big help with my Benny! She sent pictures every time she checked in on him, which gave me so much peace of mind. He even had an accident while I was away, and she went above and beyond by cleaning it up and doing the laundry. I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was with him.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Fort Thomas

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Fort Thomas is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 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 October 2026, there are 2,162 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Fort Thomas. 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fort Thomas choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Fort Thomas with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
