Haley took wonderful care of Smudge for us while we were away. She provided photos each time she checked in on our dog and we appreciate knowing how he was doing with each visit. We are grateful to have Haley care for our boy.

About: I grew up with dogs in my home for 24 years. Both puppies and seniors. I love all breeds and sizes. All dogs are adorable! I have my own pup, he has been trained by me and knows a number of tricks. I understand a dogs body language and understand if things need to be taken slow with your fur baby. I will work with aggressive dogs to a certain extent, with an increase in price. I currently work at a dog boarding facility! Book any day, any time (we can always adjust the times in conversation!) I am more than happy to check in and/or walk your loving pup! <3 I am always respectful and thoughtful. Animals are my FAVORITE in the world, they bring me so much happiness each and every day! They’re just so cute 🥹

About: I am currently a pre-vet student in college. I have worked with several animals most commonly being cats and dogs! I own 3 dogs and a cat of my own! I volunteer at 2 shelters regularly. I dog/cat sit very regularly for family friends! I have also interned at an animal hospital for an entire year! I am just excited to work with animals and get hours for vet school!! I will start working at the Cincinnati Zoo soon so I should have normal shifts. Once I start school I typically don’t do anything other than focus on school so I am very available to care for your animals! I am always just as caring about your place of living and will do my best to keep things clean as I stay there! Hopefully cleaner than when I started! I know animals can be messy and uncomfortable with new people but I will always put forth effort in a safe and clean environment for your fur ball!

Katie did a great job with our German Shepherd! It's hard to find a good, trustworthy sitter so it was nice to be able to enjoy our trip and not worry about what was going on back at home knowing Katie was there!

We recently entrusted our beloved Pomeranian, Bear, to Sean for the second time, and once again, we couldn't be more pleased with his exceptional service. Sean cared for Bear and our home for a full 10 days, and his attention to detail and level of care were truly impressive. From the moment Sean arrived, it was evident that Bear was in capable hands. Sean's dedication to ensuring Bear's well-being and happiness was unwavering, and it's no surprise that he is consistently in high demand. One aspect of Sean's service that particularly stood out to us was his excellent communication. Throughout Bear's stay, Sean kept us updated with regular messages and sent us pictures, which provided us with peace of mind and reassurance. Additionally, we had several packages delivered during our absence, and Sean, upon our request opened them and keep us informed. As senior pet owners, it's crucial for us to entrust Bear to someone we can rely on completely, and without a doubt, Sean has proven himself to be that person. We have absolute confidence in his abilities as a pet sitter, and we highly recommend him to anyone seeking top-tier care for their furry companions. Thank you, Sean, for your exceptional service and for providing Bear with such a wonderful experience. We look forward to booking with you again in the future.

About: I have taken care of many pups and built many meaningful relationships with their owners! I pride myself in my relationship with animals and hope to spend my time caring for your babies! I babysit consistently for a family one day a week (Fridays) and go to school online so my availability is almost always open! I’d like to be notified at least a day or two before the days you need care for your pet! Caring for a pet in someone else home involves being respectful of another’s property and being mindful of any and all hazards potential to cause problems with the animal. Making sure to follow clear instructions and take all the necessary precautions with the pet is the only right thing to do!

Destiny was absolutely fantastic and took great care of my doggie and even my ferret for 7 whole days! She was consistently in contact with me and went above and beyond while also meeting my unique circumstances with doing house showings while trying to sell my house. Definitely book with her, she’s the best!!

About: I have had the privilege of owning two weimeriners. For 12 and 13 years each. I know how to train and care for a puppy and how to medicate and care for a senior dog. I've raised cats since I was a child. My family breed Siamese kittens. So I'm very familiar with cats from birth onwards. More recently I rescued two feral kittens and they have joined my family. I can do medications for all animals and extra care your pets may need. I understand all pets are unique and have their own quirks. I am currently working a flexible part time job. I therefore have plenty of time and love to devote to your fur baby! This allows me to spoil your pet with my time. I am aware that your home is your pet's personal safe space. I have the utmost respect for them and making sure they are comfortable.

I had Abigail come to my house to sit my 3 dogs while i was on vacation. She did great with my babies and took time to make them feel more comfortable with her. She even met with me beforehand to meet the dogs which put me more at ease with using her. Abigal is trustworthy and she was respectful of my belongings. She also brought in my packages and took up my garbage cans which was a huge help. I'll definitely use her services again in the future.

About: I have multiple years of experience taking care of various size dogs (10 lbs to 180 lbs). I have dog walking experience with small to medium size dogs. I have house sitting experience with multiple dogs various weights and breeds. I can adjust care for age and wellness issues. I maintain the feeding and potty break schedules you set for your pet(s). I am open to providing specialized care and medications needed. I am here to listen to who your pet is and what makes him or her special to you. Do they like belly rubs, chasing a ball, pulling on a rope, do they snuggle up during thunder storms, what about that special blanket or stuffed animal? I love interacting and playing with pets throughout the day. When I house sit, I remain on site unless walking your pet. Larger breed dogs I prefer fenced yards. Light house chores are included in my services. I send daily photos or short videos with updates of your pets daily via text letting you know they are safe and loved. I also house sit cats. I volunteered with HARTS non profit which adopted abandoned cats with special needs or who had been abused. I am mostly free unless it's weekends I do see my dad every Saturday however, If you need me to stay an extra week I need at least a 3 day heads up (before or during the time I'm taking care of your cat/dog) to know so I can call my father about it! Other then that I'm mostly free and can take care of your pets for at least a week or if need 2 weeks while your on vacation! I will feed them the food that's needed, if your dog/cat has a special diet please let me know so I can give them the right food, if they have a health problem I need to know so I can take care of them like a sprained ankle or heart problem with the meds ready for me to give them, if your dog/cat has behavior issues I need to know, I have worked with dogs/cats in the past with behavior issues so that's important information to know about, I can take your dog on walks if they are small/medium but if they are large I would prefer of you have a fence in yard please.

Patrice was fantastic housesitting for our elderly dog and young pup for a week. They had great care and Patrice kept us well-informed when one of the dogs didn’t seem to feel well for a day or so. It was a great comfort to have someone who cares so much about animals and their well-being looking after the dogs while we were away!

I would highly recommend Andrea. Andrea is an amazing pet sitter. She’s a great communicator, and she’s never given us reason to worry about her arriving on time or leaving early. Andrea has stayed in our home several days now and leaves little to no trace that she was there. Our animals love her and she follows all my notes, so they get the best care when I’m away. Because of Andrea, I can take guilt- and worry-free trips.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and currently care for two dogs and a cat of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily pet routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I’m comfortable with different personalities and energy levels and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, and excited to build experience as a Rover sitter while treating every pet like family. I currently have 2 dogs and a cat! I feed them breakfast and lunch every day as well as a little snack before bed time! I let them out to use the potty every hour or so to make sure they are always comfortable! I like to take my dogs on a walk around the neighborhood every day if not every other day! I also tend to take them to vet visits and grooming visits! Along with an occasional adventure to the dog park! I can easily crate your dogs or cats if needed! I also have many collars and leashes of all sizes, comfortable for all types of dogs and cats. I always have a few treats in my back pocket any time I sit animals to ensure I reward them for good behavior! I also like to keep puppy pads, poop bags, transportable water bowls, flashlights, puppy wipes, ect. To ensure your animals needs are always being maintained!
