“Carly was so reliable and responsive when we asked her to pop in on our cat Olive over Fourth of July weekend. She let Olive in/out at the designated times and always made sure she had fresh food and water (during a heatwave). Olive warmed right up to her and allowed her to give her some butt pats. Highly recommend Carly for any cat sitting needs, will definitely use her in the future!”

About: I have previous experience in veterinary medicine. I was a vet assistant for 3 years. I have now changed career paths but I miss all of the animals and would love to take care of your pet! I currently have open availability as I am not working at the moment, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and giving them attention and care. I provide in-home sitting and drop-in visits, following each pet’s routine closely. I focus on feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable.

About: I grew up with animals in my house including a dog, cat, frogs, lizards as I am a biologists daughter who taught me my love for animals. I love spending time with animals and taking care of them I work 8-5 Monday - Thursday and 8-12 on Friday but am available before and after work and on the weekends. I can check on the animals multiple times a day! I am cognizant that all animals have different personalities / needs. My cat has boundaries that I have gotten to know, and I will make sure to do that with any animals I take care of. I keep a routine with my pets so I would be glad to implement and keep yours going

About: I have a great love for animals and have been taking care of dogs for 14 years. I am currently a cat mom, but in the past I have had up to 4 animals at the same time, so I am experienced with caring for many animals at once. Also, I have experience sitting small rodents and some reptiles. I am a quick learner and love all pets, especially ones with unique challenges and personalities. I am also a Type 1 diabetic, so if your animals require insulin or any other injectable medication, I am comfortable with needles and administering those medications. I work a full time job, but I am a fully remote worker, and therefore I can spend lots of direct time with your pet. I am very communicative with my clients, and will update every check in on how their pets are doing. I make sure to give the pets lots of attention. I will listen to you on what works best for your pets, and keep them on any schedules you have in place for them.

About: I’ve been watching pets for over 10 years, mostly for neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve taken care of everything from energetic puppies to older pets who need a little extra love and patience. I’m really comfortable with different routines, giving meds if needed, and just making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and cared for!! As a server, I have a flexible schedule with plenty of daytime and evening availability, so I can give pets the attention they need. Whether it's morning walks, midday playtime, or cozy evening cuddles, I love filling my free time with furry friends!! I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking to their usual routine, giving them lots of love and attention, and keeping their space clean and secure. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, I treat every pet like they’re my own :)

About: I have spent over 4 years volunteering at animal shelters with both dogs and cats. I have also grown up with both dogs and cats - primarily small breeds. At the shelter I specialize in dogs, and have worked with breeds ranging from Cane Corsos to Toy Poodles. I like to both play and relax with dogs, and enjoy dog walking as part of an active lifestyle. I work full time, but WFH 3 days a week. The weekends are when I am most free, and prefer afternoons/evenings. I can be flexible if you reach our! I will check on your pet(s)' food and water supply in addition to making sure they use the facilities. I enjoy brushing pets as well!

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: 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: I've had one dog, one guinea pig, two hamsters, and three cats in my day- and I've loved every second of having each one of them. I've been pet-sitting for family members since I was 13 (including dogs, cats, and rabbits). I am not shy about grooming, medications, accidents, or any other tasks for needy animals! I currently am looking for a new full-time job, so my schedule is fairly free. I am available to work weekends, extended stays, or simply a night to free up a tight schedule! I prefer a day notice to booking care, but am flexible given the situation. If working an extended or multi-day stay, I will have to leave twice a day to feed, groom, and otherwise take care of my cat, Butter. I like to know the habits your animals are used to so I don't disturb their routine; e.g. feeding times, litter box cleaning/ potty breaks, walk schedules, grooming schedules, etc. I understand the importance of stability and security to a pet and their owner and do my absolute best to maintain their regularly scheduled care, while they adjust to a new human in their safe space.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my parents believed that helping care for pets was an important way to build responsibility, so animals have always been a part of my life, and I’ve truly never gone without having a pet in my home. Over the years, I’ve gained experience helping care for animals of all ages and needs, including temporary foster pets, senior pets, and pets with special needs. I’m comfortable supporting animals who require medications, extra patience, mobility accommodations, and individualized routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level, and I strive to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, quiet companionship, or needs a little extra support, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would give my own. I’m an occupational therapist at a nursing home in Cincinnati! My work schedule is flexible for me as I need to be. I don’t work weekends! I live in a house with a fully fenced in backyard with a wooden privacy fence. My dog is crated anytime I’m not home! My cat roams free and mostly naps!

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 have had dogs throughout my life, but over the past 7 years I have taken care of several dogs for up to a week at a time, staying at their homes. This has included a couple of senior dogs requiring extra care. I now have my own dog and can’t stay overnight, but would love to check in or walk dogs of any kind! I’m in medical school, and my current schedule is quite flexible. Right now, I can do mornings sometimes, and my evenings and weekends are often open/flexible. I will be completely respectful of your home and ensure that I’m spending quality time with your dog. I’m happy to play with them, let them out, and/or take them for walks. I’m comfortable getting a dog into their crate, feeding them, etc. and tailoring their care however you want.

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. I would definitely recommend Breanna!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Fort Thomas

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Fort Thomas is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $23 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 2,169 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 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.

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.

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
  • 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.

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.
