“Ben has an energy where animals of all kinds gravitate to him. Both of my pets were instantly taken with him and they felt at ease with him looking after them – the photos he sent me during the check ins made that very obvious. In the past, I would have looked to take my cat and dog to a Pet Resort – but I prefer having Ben come in to check on them because that takes away the anxiety, seclusion, and chaos of a resort. I've already booked Ben to look after these two again and I will be doing so in the months to come! Very highly recommended...”
“Cathy was great with my cats. My shy cat even came around to her. She communicated with me daily while on vacation. I was able to enjoy my vacation so much more knowing my cats were well taken care of.”
“Bethany took such great care of our large pit bull/lab mix. It was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous, but I could tell right away that our dog was in very good hands. She was very responsive and sent tons of pictures, and we will definitely use her in the future!”
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.
About: I grew up in a multi-dog household. I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors and family friends since I was 11! Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I volunteered with an organization for 4 years raising and training service dogs in training. I have experience with puppies as young as 2 weeks (volunteer health checks) all the way to seniors at 15 years old! I also have grown up with cats and have pet sat for cats, so I have experience with cats of all ages as well! I’m currently in school and have classes Mondays from 9:30-1:50 and Tuesdays from 9-10:50. Wednesdays I have class along with a weekly commitment, so I’m unfortunately unavailable. Thursdays-Sundays I’m usually available all day! My experience with training dogs (and dogs in general) has taught me all about reading body language, picking up on their cues, handling them on walks and in the home, along with training basic commands. I am very attentive and will treat your fur baby as my own!
“Tori was a wonderful sitter for my cat while I was traveling. He warmed up to her extremely quickly. She was very attentive in making sure that he had fresh water and food and played with him with his favorite toys. She also sent me plenty of pictures and videos. I would definitely recommend Tori!”
“Alexis was great with communication and did a fantastic job checking on my cats. She was prompt, sent good pictures, and even managed to get close to my shy cat that is afraid of everything.”
About: Growing up we always had dogs in our home. I have experience caring for both small, large, and giant breeds. I have a giant breed puppy of my own, which I adore. I walk my own dog and my parent's dogs everyday. I make sure they get their energy out. A tired dog is a happy dog! Currently, my lunch time schedule for visits is full. I am mainly available in the early morning or evenings during the week. During the weekend, I can take care of your dog at any time. If boarding or doggy daycare, I have a fenced in yard at my house your pet could play in. I have toys for fetch and other activities for mental stimulation. I am also used to walking multiple dogs at once, if you have several pets that need exercised! I always have water available for dogs during play time and after walks. I'm available almost every weekend. During the week I currently only have flexibility at in the early morning or in the evening time. However, my husband works from home and we can always try to tag-team to meet your schedule's needs. I have always loved animals! Growing up we had many different kinds. I have been on Rover for a few years (taking some time off for school) but I have enjoyed getting to meet and take care of other's pets. I want to provide a safe and fun experience for each pet.
About: Hi! I’m someone who has always had a huge soft spot for animals. 🐾 My love for dogs started early - I actually started my own dog walking business in middle school! Over the years, I’ve had experience caring for my own pets as well as dogs, cats, and horses for friends, family, and other pet owners. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, routine, and favorite things. My sweet dog, Ollie, recently passed away from cancer, and I miss having a pup around more than I can say. I’d love to fill some of that time by giving your dog plenty of love, attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles while you’re away. ❤️ I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for every step of the way! I work full time Monday-Friday from 8:30am-5pm, but I am able to stop home midday for potty breaks/a quick walk. I am available before/after work during the week, on the weekends, and during holidays to walk or watch your pup 😊 I live in a first level condo in an extremely dog friendly neighborhood with lots of grass for potty breaks. Dogs are family in my home and are welcome to snuggle on the couch and in bed with me!
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.
“AmariYah watched our two dogs while we went out of town and did a great job! They can be particular about who walks them but she got them out and about no problem. Absolutely would book her again.”
About: I’ve had a dog in my life for the past 17 years, and I can’t imagine it any other way! I’ve gone through 3 puppy stages and training for a crate and house-training. I’ve also had senior dogs as those puppies got older. I’m available for boarding on weekends, or during the week if they’re used to their owner going to work during the day. I’m available anytime after 5pm during the week for any walks or potty-breaks. I have over 1,000sq ft. In my apartment and plenty of space in the complex to go on long walks! I have enough space in my apartment to accommodate large crates as well for boarding.
About: Dogs have been in my household from a young age; I am very comfortable with all breeds. Currently, my parents have a 6 year-old golden retriever that I helped raise when he was a puppy. I am an active person and an avid runner, and am prepared to walk or run any distance with your pets. I have experience caring for others’ pets, including overnight stays. In terms of other experience, I am a fourth-year medical student at the University of Cincinnati preparing for a career in emergency medicine. I will make it my goal to ensure the well-being of your pet. I am currently enrolled in elective rotations as a fourth-year medical student at the University of Cincinnati. These require presence in the hospital most days of the week, though my weekends are free for dog walking, as are the evening hours. I will not be on any rotations in the first two weeks of October, and also during November, December, and January. I am a long-time lover of animals and am very sensitive to the needs of the pets in my care. I will make sure they are supported while their owners are away. I have experience with overnight stays and can be counted upon to look after your home in addition to your pet. I am comfortable around all breeds, including large dogs.
“Katrina checked on my two cats while we were away on a 5 day trip and she was wonderful! She took great care of them and sent nice notes and photos that made us feel at peace.”
“Lots of great updates, looked like they had great quality time together! Brought peace of mind to see pics of my kitty having such a fun time when I had to find someone to take care of her at the last minute”
About: I have 2 yr old golden retriever that I got as a puppy. He’s the best dog! We even have 2 kittens and he’s so gentle with them and patient. I have been around dogs and walked dogs or babysat them for 20 years. Beau is happy and spoiled. I am finishing my real estate training so I am home much more than I used be with 9-5. My pets get more attention and my dog has the ability to go outside more. More walks. I can help with your pets because my schedule is very flexible. I respect a home owners privacy and security and only need to access the pets. I have my own home and understand security concerns. No record.
About: Hi, I’m AJ, a lifelong pet lover with experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve had pets since childhood and have house-sat for neighbors, family, and friends, ensuring their pets were happy and well cared for. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pets and home in someone else’s hands. I’ll provide attentive care, keep your pets happy and comfortable, and ensure your home stays safe and well-maintained. I’m also happy to send regular updates so you always know how things are going. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets—feel free to reach out! My 9-5 job is fully remote, which means I’ll be around to keep your pets company throughout the day. I’m available most days of the week and am happy to travel and stay in your home to ensure your pets feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I live in a quiet, two-bedroom condo with no other pets, making it a comfortable space to board cats and small/medium dogs. Since I work from home, I can provide plenty of attention all day, and take your dogs outside regularly for walks and fresh air. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine, including crating if needed. I also offer house sitting to keep your pets comfortable in their own home while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Wright
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!
Ben earns his numerous 5-star ratings because pets respond to him like he's part of the pack and his communication and accommodation are incredible – I'm very glad to have Ben look after my two fur kids instead of taking them to a resort. They're happier and I'm more at ease getting text and picture updates
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 Wright is $14 per visit as of October 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 October 2026, there are 2,180 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fort Wright. 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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Wright. 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 .
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.
