Lauren did a wonderful job taking care of our three cats while we were out of town. She was communicative/responsive and also took care of mail and plant watering to boot. The house was in great shape when we returned home, and our kitties were clearly in good hands during our absence. I can’t recommend Lauren more highly and will definitely work with her again!!

Julie was so great with our dogs while we were out of town on vacation!! She is so friendly, trustworthy and had great communication while we were gone. We enjoyed the photos she took of our fur babies when we were away and would recommend her to anyone needing dog sitting! She spent extra time trying to get our anxious dog to eat— which was very much appreciated. Highly recommend & will definitely use her again :)

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid growing up with German Shepards from all kind of different backgrounds. I graduated from a military college this spring where I learned discipline, responsibility and accountability amongst many other very crucial life skills. Skills that are needed when taking care of another persons beautiful dog. I’m currently unemployed looking for a job so I am very available for your needs everyday and can be there upon short notice. I figured with my love of dogs and having a lot of free time this would be a perfect way to fill it. I love playing with my sister’s dog, he is an all black German Shepard around 2 years old and he is the sweetest thing. I love to get them moving and make sure they’re getting there steps in! I like running with him too and also just sitting and relaxing with him when he’s all worn out.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life starting with our family dogs. My first pets of my own were my 2 cats, Cleo and Cloe. Then my Boxer, Daisy. When Daisy passed, I became a foster mom with the Stray Animal Adoption Program. 10 years and over 100 fosters later, I’ve welcomed into my home everything from litters of puppies to adult dogs, seniors, medical fosters, kittens and adult cats and I love them like my own until they find their furever home. I currently have one dog named Marlie and a cat named Gibbs. I work full time and am away from home between 10:00 am and 6:00 pm each day. I do have the flexibility to come home at lunch for a mid-day potty or snack break, if necessary. Since I work during the day, my evenings are most often spent taking my dog for a walk around town. I also love to garden. I have taken my personal dog, Marlie, through general obedience training, nose work (scent detection) training and agility classes for fun.

About: Animals have been my passion since childhood! My home is shared with a happy 6-year-old cat, making me an expert in feline routines and enrichment. I also hold a deep bond with senior dogs; having cared for my own German Shepherd through her final years, I am deeply comfortable with medical regimes and gentle mobility support. I treat every pet with the same compassion and specialized attention I gave my own “soul dog.” I am an assistant principal, so I am usually not free on weekdays until 3:30. I am available in the evenings and on the weekends for visits! Additionally, because of my work schedule, I am available on most holidays. Your pets are family, and I treat them with the same vigilance I give my own 6-year-old cat. I am a safety-first sitter who double-checks door locks, harness fits, and gate latches every single time. My experience with a senior German Shepherd taught me the importance of patience and gentle handling. I am committed to transparent communication, providing daily photo updates and detailed notes via the Rover App so you know your dogs and cats are thriving.

I had never utilized this app before so I was very scared at first but Sally made everything seamless. Very happy to have picked her to take care of my babies considering that cats are not the same as dogs. She immediately connected with them and I felt at easy while being away. She sent us pictures and updates every single day and was always quick to respond.

About: I’m currently studying to be a vet assistant. Since I was a kid I’ve loved animals and have accumulated lots of knowledge over the years. I’ve been trusted to care for many family pets. I’m very calm and patient, and I’m excited to have the opportunity to care for your pets as well! I’m currently working part-time, early mornings. Mid-week, afternoons and weekends are the best times for me to care for and play with your babies! I live in a very quiet home and a very quiet neighborhood. We can sit and relax while I knit or easily walk down to the nearby observatory, park, or town square.

About: I have dog sitted for close friends and work colleagues during graduate school.

I am currently a pharmacy resident and work mainly during the weekdays from 7am-5pm and work every other weekend starting this upcoming July. My availability for June is open during the afternoons and most early morning for weekdays and open on weekends! I make a point to follow instructions to a T, and if there are opportunities to go above and beyond, I will do so. If dog sitting, I make sure to give the utmost attention to your pet while also meeting your expectations. As for house sitting, I like to treat a home as if it were my own: tidy and organized.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I’m truly passionate about. I have hands-on experience fostering dogs, volunteering in animal shelters, and caring for pets with a variety of personalities, backgrounds, and needs. I also attended school to become a veterinary technician before ultimately choosing a different career path, which gave me valuable knowledge about animal health, behavior, and overall well-being. As a foster parent and volunteer, I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to shy rescue dogs who need extra patience and understanding. These experiences have taught me how important it is to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while giving you complete peace of mind. I will treat your pets as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, attention, and plenty of affection. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, playtime, or simply a friendly face while you’re away, you can count on me to provide the care and attention they deserve💕🐾 I’m a teacher and have my summers off! I would absolutely love to spend my time off caring for your animals. I have open availability to be there for you and your animal whenever you need me. I absolutely love caring for pets and treat every animal like my own. My goal is to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable while providing the same level of attention and routine they’re used to. I respect your space and routines completely. I’ll follow your detailed instructions for feeding, walks, play, litter boxes, or any other needs. I send daily photo/text updates so you can see how your pet is doing and relax knowing they’re well cared for. I’m flexible, responsive, and committed to making sure both you and your pet feel confident and cared for💕

About: I've had pet since my earliest memories. On top of caring for pets of my own, including cats, dogs, reptiles, arachnids, and more, I also fostered animals in southern Indiana for 5+ years. Now that I'm in the Cincinnati area I want to find a way to help animals again so I joined Rover! I currently work as a contractor for a delivery company so I choose my own hours, this way I have time to fit in the furry friends. I can come any time, day or night! When caring for pets in someones home I always make sure to have a list of things the pet parents want to make sure is done. I also make sure all cabinets and doors are secure before leaving a room, this way pets can't get into anything they shouldn't. When outside with the pups, I always make sure to keep them on the outside away from the road when walking on sidewalks.

About: I’ve had a dog for 12 years, so I’m experienced when it comes to taking care of dogs! I have experience walking and pet sitting for my friend’s dogs as well. I love all types of dogs. I want them to have the most positive experience possible! I work full time, but I work remotely on Mondays and Fridays. I’m looking to walk dogs after the work day or on weekends. I can also pet sit and/or check in on pets on weekends/Mondays/Fridays. I would love to hangout with your pet(s) and give lots of cuddles. I enjoy being active, so would have no problem taking your pet(s) on long walks and playing with them.

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!
