About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 13 but in the past few years it has gotten more regular. I've cat and dog sat overnight several times and have experience taking care of diabetic cats including having to give them insulin shots twice a day. I’ll be leaving back to college August 14th so I’m available to help out until then! I'm home for the summer before going back to college so I'm pretty available. I run xc and track collegiately so I train for an hour or two and have home responsibilities. Pet sitting fits right in my schedule! I love animals, love to play with them, and keep them good company. Pet sitting it right up my alley. Your pets will be in good hands!
“Bethany has been so helpful in caring for our dog. She treats her well and clearly has a love for animals. She's responsive and kind and we plan to continue using her on a weekly basis for as long as she's offering her services.”
“Taylor is outstanding. I’d give more stars if available. Not only did she help us out at short notice when traveling through the area, but she’s especially kind and caring. I would have no reservations working with her again or longer term. I know my girl would be in good hands. Thank you again!”
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.
“Allison has been great! Super friendly and helpful when scheduling, and she has great availability. This is the second time she's taken our Aussie pup on a walk to help get some energy out. Love getting the pictures of her time with him and the note she leaves about their time together. Will definitely keep using Allison”
About: My wife and I have always had dogs, and they have always been an extremely important part of our lives. We lost our dog Miles in Sept of 2025, and we have made the decision that before we get another dog of our own, we'd like to try boarding dogs for a while, to give us an opportunity to bring that love and companionship back to our home while providing a service to the community, in a place where you know your dog will be safe, receive tons of individual attention, and lots of love. I work at home full-time, so I am always around to provide some attention to pets as I have for many years. It's easy for me to take breaks most anytime to allow the dog to get outside and take care of their business, or just give them some love and attention that they need. I want to care for your dog the way the owner would like, so I will take the lead from the instructions of the owner. We have a nice backyard, and we are in an area that is perfect for walking a dog on a leash. Additionally, there are several dog parks in the area that we can take your dog to if that is something you're interested in.
“Cathy is a wonderful dogwalker! She was conscientious and caring regarding my older dog's needs. She communicates well and provided photos daily. Cathy made me feel at ease in trusting her with my dog and in my home.”
“Alex was wonderful! My dogs trusted him immediately and looked very happy on the photos. He was very responsive, responsable and kept me updated every day. I’m so grateful with him. I highly recommend his job. 100%. Thank u Alex !!”
About: I've had cats my whole life! Recently I've fostered six cats (including some kittens) and foster failed my current cat, Goose. I'm studying for medical school exam and have some free time for extra cuddles. Growing up, I frequently cared for my family's two mini Schnauzer's and would love to take your dogs for walks too! I am currently studying for medical school board exams and have a flexible routine that has plenty of time to check in on your furry friends. Not all cats are created equal and I pride myself on being able to read your cat's body language to determine what they need from me. I have experience walking dogs in a busy city environment.
“Wolf was amazing! We booked last minute and had some changes in our itinerary, but was still very according. Romeo was so happy when he got back from his walk with Wolf. Will be booking again! Thank you!”
“Jared has been absolutely fantastic with our dogs! From day one, he's been incredibly communicative, reliable, and prompt, which gives us complete peace of mind. Our dogs absolutely adore him and are always excited for their walks and adventures together. It's clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with and knows how to keep them happy, safe, and well cared for. We trust him completely and feel so lucky to have found him. If you're looking for someone dependable, trustworthy, and great with dogs, we highly recommend Jared! 🐾”
“Corey is an excellent dog walker. My dog really enjoys being with him. He's a good listener and it's clear that working with animals is Corey's passion. He's great with communication too!”
About: I’ve taken care of different breeds of dogs, As well as domestic kinds of animals. When working with different animals I make sure I know everything I can about their routine, training, schedules so that they are returned back to owner, the owner is very satisfied with my service with their pets. I connect very well with the animals so that they are very comfortable with me and so that owner feels confortabke entrusting me with their pets. With puppies i make sure to ask all necessary questions with potty training making sure they are taken out often, to any current training being worked on with owner at home. With senior dogs making sure any routine they are on with eating walking or any possible medications are kept on track. Please let me know if their are any questions. Currently I am a stay at home Mom. Any routine any owner needs me to stick with it will be worked with and stay on track with training. I can take 1-2 dogs at a time. I like to do meet and greets so that new pets and their owners can get to know me and feel comfortable with their pets being in my care. Would need to be potty trained and neutered/spade. I love animals that are cuddle bugs! I do not have a fenced in yard but my house large enough for play and can go on walks nearby by park by house. I make sure a gate is up in my house so I can keep an eye on all pets being watched.
“My girls LOVE Danyul! He walks both of them twice and week and they are excited every time. He takes such good care of my babies and sends me pictures. He’s extremely trustworthy, he has a key to my apartment.”
“Matthew and Archie hit it off immediately and for the next 7 days I knew that our pup was extremely well cared for. Matthew took great care of our dog and communicated well. We would definitely book him again and recommend Matt highly.”
About: Dog and cat mom here: I have had dogs and cats all my life, including raising puppies, I'm the go-to pet sitter in my friend group. I also foster my dogs when I am available. I work at a restaurant so I work short shifts, make my own schedule and have lots of availability. I'm open to all services: visits, walks, overnights (your home or mine). I don't have children but I consider my pets my babies. My dog Oliver (pictured) goes with me everywhere he can, he's spoiled because he's a good boy. My 2 cats come and go as they please but love attention and treats too. I can accommodate any request because I think it is important to treat all pets like your own. I work short shifts, days and nights, with lots of available time. I will treat your pet like my own: my dog gets daily walks, treats, playtime and cuddles of course. I will respect your home as your space and accommodate your pet needs. In my home, I have a privacy fence fully covering my backyard and I live alone in a home I own on a quiet dead end street. My pets have safe spaces in my home and I allow them on my furniture lol
About: I've been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life and have experience with all ages, sizes, and pet kinds! I am a recent grad of Physical Therapy school, and I am in process of studying for my board exam so I am able to help take care of your pets pretty much any time! I will follow what ever system the owner has in place for their fur babies and ensure that they are being taken care of and getting exercise! Right now I am studying for a board exam, so unless I am going out of town for something, I am likely available to help take care of your fur babies. I am able to care for your pet no matter what type of housing (house, apartment, townhome). I work with the owner on what type of activity level the animal requires.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Thomas
Alison has been very reliable and responsive. She’s been walking our new puppy for the last couple weeks to help us get her out of the crate during our work day so she isn’t in there more than 4hrs. Puppy dealing with some pretty bad stomach issues and Alison very helpful with this as far as checking in with worried pup mom and offering more water/different options when pup not up for a walk. She’s been wonderful and we’re very grateful. Will continue to use her services as long as we can and are in a situation where work schedule forces pup into crate for too many hours.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Fort Thomas. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Thomas. On Rover:
- 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
