About: Lifelong animal lover and dependable dog walker! I adore animals of all kinds and treat every pet like my own. My own dog is 14 and we play and walk daily and spend too much on toys! Reliable, caring, and always ready for a tail-wagging adventure! IDog walking fits perfectly into my daily routine—I have the flexibility to be there when your pup needs me most, whether it’s a morning stroll, midday break, or evening adventure. It’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for every day! I will treat every pet like a member of my family. That means giving affection, checking leashes if we walk, and making sure there is fresh water in the bowl or any other requests like medication, food, etc. I already have clients that trust me to enter their homes and make sure I lock up before I leave. I always feel proud that people can rely on my integrity and judgements.

“Leslie is amazing. So attentive and enthusiastic about caring for Grizz. It is clear Leslie loves animals and cares for them as if they are her own. We are grateful for her service. Thanks, Leslie!”


About: I’ve worked with dogs since I was 15. I’ve worked at a vet hospital and dog daycare. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets. I currently don’t have a job. I can work from 9am-6pm on weekdays.I can work anytime on the weekends. Holidays are no problem for me. I have a fenced in yard and my beautiful dog that can keep your fur baby and play all day. I have a crate that I can put your dog in if needed.

About: I have owned and cared for several types of dogs, as well as all ages. I am comfortable taking care of puppies, and some of our older friends! I have administered medications to dogs, and some invasive therapies such as fluids. I feel comfortable identifying potential ‘warning signs’ and/or health issues with dogs as well. I currently work 3 shifts/ week and have a lot of availability on my days off. I do not have a typical 9-5 schedule, and can be available anywhere between 6am-10pm. I would love to work out a schedule with you to fit you and your furry friends’ needs. During my previous experiences with pet sitting, I always take the pet’s normal routine to be of the upmost importance. Having a regular schedule/ routines is important for the pet to feel safe and build trust. I currently own 6 animals, 3 lizards snd 3 cats- and take their care and wellbeing into the highest consideration with daily environment cleaning (includes tanks for reptiles, litter boxes for cats, vacuuming, washing blankets, etc) medication management, and regular vet visits. I believe you can have multiple pets and still maintain a clean home, which is important for everyone’s health and safety. I incorporate this into my care for other animals as well in their homes.

About: I’ve grown up around many dogs and cats, and my family has always trusted me to make sure their fur babies are safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m comfortable working with animals of any age or size and always give them the love and attention they deserve.” I’m part time as of now but my part time job is quite flexible. I am home in the mornings and leaving later in the day for work. We have a fenced yard that’s designated strictly for potty breaks. Our larger yard is not gated, but our current dog is trained to stay within its boundaries using an invisible fence. Additionally, we have a separate gated area in the laundry room for secure indoor containment when needed.

About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs, small and big since I was 10, but just started professionally recently. I have trained and been trusted to train many different dogs. I am a very attentive person that will provide quality care for your pets needs. I also am a very active person that is willing to go on walks, play catch or more with your dogs. I currently am at home full time, so I will have plenty of time for your pets. I am available at pretty much all times for any emergency or need for your fur baby. I have a big, fenced in yard with plenty of space for your pet to run around in. I live in a big neighborhood, which has plenty of routes for walks. I also have a cat who is super friendly, but will mainly keep to herself.

“Lydia has been very helpful and quickly responds! Looking forward to working with her for more walks in the future!”


“Isabella is a much appreciated part of our (almost daily) lives! She has been very communicative, flexible, and an important part of helping us take care of and train our newly adopted puppy. I HIGHLY recommend Isabella for any pet care needs.”


About: Growing up, I have always had a heart for animals. Not only do I have over a decade of pet care experience with a variety of different animals, but I enjoy it so much that I’ve decided to advertise myself to build some business. I recognize your furry friends as members of the family, and my goal is to always do my best to keep your pet happy, healthy, and having fun! :) I am very flexible during the week and am looking to petsit as much as possible. Whether that’s overnight sitting, house sitting, or walking, I’m ready and excited to spend time with your pet! We have an adorable labradoodle who has been trained to stay safe in our yard. We play with and walk him regularly, and I have taught him a variety of tricks/commands. I plan to treat your pet the same as my own and keep a watchful eye to ensure he/she stays safe and has fun!

About: I’ve grown up with pets and have always been around them. I’m very skilled in dealing with all pet ages, cats and dogs, and all kinds of different breeds. I’m very caring and love to take care of pets the best I can. I will make sure I do any caretaking to the absolute best of my ability. I have a very strong work ethic I am a very vigilant caretaker and provide lots of attention and love. I currently am taking time off from my job and graduate school so I have open availability aside from any personal life obligations. Pet care fits perfectly into my current lifestyle and I have plenty of time to dedicate towards exceptional service. I partake in daily pet care at my parents' home in many ways. I help with cleaning the cats' litter box, picking up messes/accidents around the house, and making sure to clean up animal hair with plenty of vacuuming and laundry. I also love to play with them and provide plenty of cuddles! Additionally, I have gained experience in pet care with our dog Coco throughout his multiple leg surgeries and providing 24/7 care when he was unable to put any pressure on his leg or walk. We have also had sick animals in the past that I have gained experience with. My parents also like to travel and I am the go-to house and dog babysitter during their times away. In regard to providing pet care at clients' homes, I have a year of past experience on Rover. I am always diligent about following all instructions and requests, and providing the level of care needed for each animal. Cleaning the home is also important to me and I make sure to prioritize leaving the home cleaner than I found it. I am detail-oriented and value going above and beyond with communication and exceeding my clients' standards.

About: I have taken care of pets for a long time and have been a pet owner my whole life! I have worked with puppies and older dogs so i am comfortable with any type of special treatments that your pups need! I am student at DePaul university but I am currently enrolled in only four classes so my schedule is pretty flexible! Weekend availability may be a little different since I visit my family a lot. I will attend to all your pet’s needs and make sure that they’re are having a good and safe time. I will make sure they are comfortable with me and their surroundings

About: Hi! I’m Kaitlyn — a stay-at-home mom, lifelong dog lover, and volunteer at the Humane Society for Hamilton County. At home, our 11-year-old son and our Frenchie girl, Luna, absolutely hung the moon! We’re total dog people, and I know how important it is to find someone who will love and care for your pup the same way you do when you can’t be there. That’s exactly why I joined Rover — to offer kind, dependable care whether I’m dropping by for a quick check-in, heading out for a walk, or welcoming your pup into our home for a longer stay. We’re a cozy, cage-free home and only care for one pet family at a time, so your dog’s comfort and safety are always the top priority. With my background and weekly volunteer experience, I’m confident caring for pups with all kinds of needs, personalities, and quirks. I’d love the chance to be that safe, loving home away from home or a reliable, friendly face for drop-ins and walks ☺️ I’m available most mornings, early afternoons, and early evenings. When I have dogs staying with me, I limit walking clients to stay focused on in-home care. If I need to step out, you pup is never left for more than an hour — and they often join for car rides to my son’s practices if they enjoy it! Our home is peaceful, and my son is respectful and calm around animals — even pups sensitive to kids usually feel right at home ☺️ When possible, I love to schedule a meet & greet in advance (especially for pups who take a little time to warm up), so we can make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. But if you’re booking a last-minute walk or drop-in, no worries! Just send over the key info, and I’ll take it from there with on-time care, communication, and plenty of photo updates. Caring for one pet family at a time means your dog gets my full attention without the stress of unfamiliar pets. My pup Luna (a sweet, playful Frenchie) is great with other dogs, and all introductions are done slowly and safely with her on leash to ensure everyone feels comfortable.

As a nurse and mom I will love and care for your pet, keep them safe and follow any instructions you have . If you need any pet transportation I have a hatchback as well for ease of use. Let me know what your pets need and I will provide it. I week remotely from my home ( or yours ) which allows me to be available daily & on weekends! If you need just a walk, a drop-in or overnight stays I am accommodating to a fault. Although I can’t currently care for pets in my home , I look forward to giving individual attention and respect, privacy and confidentiality of every family I care for in your space. Whether you welcome me into your space or just need a quick walk for your dog, puppy or cat , I’m up for the exercise . I know pet exercise times are important and play time is how they learn, grow and stay healthy. If your babies are not well I can also provide sick care as needed.

About: I have honestly been around dogs my whole life. Family and friends ask me to dog sit all the time and I will always say yes if I am available.

About: I've taken care of all types of dogs and cats from all age ranges. I love animals, and I have been animal-sitting since I was around 12 years old, for about 7 years.

I am currently working part-time and attending school part-time during the summer. I am very available to take care of your animals during the morning, day, and evening. I like to spend between 15 and 30 minutes with the animals between visits to make them feel loved, so they are less stressed. I make sure they are well fed and exercised daily and are enjoying their time while you are away.

About: I currently pet sit weekly— dogs of every size, cats, and farm animals! I have tons of references and love animals with a passion! I also am working towards a degree in being a vet technician! I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is very free and flexible so I accommodate pet sitting into almost all of my days!
