Dog Sitting in Independence

“Edith arrived promptly with a warm smile and a gentle voice to greet Louie. She clearly knows how to handle an excitable dog. Her experience and calm manner did the trick so he could enjoy her company on their walk. We are so thankful to have met and hired her!”

About: As a pet sitter, my greatest joy comes from the wagging tails and purrs of contentment I receive from the animals in my care. Each pet is unique, and I take pride in understanding their individual needs and personalities. Whether it's a playful pup who loves fetch or a cuddly cat who enjoys a good nap, I ensure they feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. Knowing that I can provide peace of mind to pet parents and a comfortable environment for their furry friends is what makes pet sitting so rewarding for me. I am freshly graduated from empire beauty cosmetology school. I now work in a restaurant so I have mornings and early afternoons available and nights. I have 2 dogs at home and used to have a cat. Everyday it is my duty to feed, water, and play with my pups to keep them happy and healthy, and I can do the same for yours!

About: We’ve had animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm in southern KY I am used to caring for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, birds, miniature pigs, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, etc! Our animals have always been apart of our family and go where we go! Our animals are allowed on the furniture, sleep in our bed, and love to visit our parents house! I am a stay at home mom so adding a pet into our daily routine is actually pretty easy! We’re used to care for our own dog! We just have them join whatever we’re doing which makes it easier. I have two Littles who love to play outside and take them walks so I usually just have our pups tag along! Our pups routine is usually out to pee in the morning, a walk after her breakfast, lots of outdoor play or sunbathe time while me and my two kiddos play our back, another walk once the kids take their naps, more play time with the kids, another walk after dinner, then a pee break before we get into bed for the night! I’m home all day as a stay at home mom and my husband is fully remote so our pup is used to having somewhere there for whatever she needs or when we do go out and about if we’re able to we take her! Our dog frequents our parents house for even more cuddles and play! Animals are always part of the family on our end.

About: I’ve cared for newborn puppies on multiple occasions, so I’m no stranger to tiny paws and big responsibility. I bring patience, love, and plenty of cuddles to every pet I care for. Caring for pets is part of my normal day-to-day life. I enjoy building my routine around their needs, whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or extra cuddle time. My own pets are cared for with a mix of routine, enrichment, and lots of love (okay… maybe a little spoiling). I stay attentive to their needs, moods, and habits, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I sit.

“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!”

“Olivia was great. She took care of the dogs and documented everything with precision. She sent a note when there were any questions and was very thorough. We will definitely use her again. Thanks Olivia!”

About: For years of my life I’ve not only cared for myself but also for my pets. Day to day I make sure that they live the happiest life possible! Every morning I like to greet my fur friends and feed them their breakfast before I leave. Whenever I return I give them all the love they deserve while they accompany me throughout the rest of my day. I also play with them when they feel energetic and then at their dinner time I feed them. Most of the time I let them approach me before interacting and when sleeping or tired I give them the most of their pets. I let them be curious to an extent and I love them every second I can get!

About: I’ve spent my entire life around animals, and for the last decade, I’ve been the "go-to" sitter for friends, family, coworkers, and even my college professors! My background as a nanny of five years means I bring an extra level of responsibility, patience, and organization to every pet I care for. I am comfortable with all pets - from tiny kittens to medium-breed dogs. I am familiar with the gentle care required for aging dogs and cats, including managing special dietary needs and restricted routines. You can expect me to treat your home and your pets with the same level of professional care I provided to families as a nanny for half a decade! Whether your pet is high-energy and needs a trip to the park or is anxious and needs a quiet evening of companionship, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and pampered while you’re away! Though I can't board on-site due to my lease, I am happy to do in-house visits, go out on walks, etc. I work full-time, but have flexibility around the lunch hours and in the evening. I am available most evenings and weekends. I am very committed to helping make sure pets are as comfortable as possible when they're missing their people! I care just as much about making sure your fur-baby has company and enough human connection during your time away as I do that they are being fed and watered!

About: I’ve been pet sitting professionally on and off for around 5 years now and am very comfortable with most kinds of animals. I have experience in training pups, senior care, and medication administration. Personally, I’ve had a companion with tumor-induced epilepsy and another with Blastomycosis (a respiratory issue). In other words, I am prepared to care for your animal in whatever capacity they require. Until May, I work an 6 hour morning shift T-Th and a night shift on Saturday. Over the summer, it will reduce to Sat. shift only. Other than my job, I am available to be with your companions at all times of the day as per need. I will care for your pet in whatever way they need. If they must be crate trained at night, fed daily medicine, diaper changed, regular training practice in basic skills (sitting, etc.), frequent walks, bathed, trimmed, I'm your girl. I’ll do my best to make them comfortable with me and happy in your home (even if that means love from a distance for some of our timid fellas).

“Katherine did a great job taking care of my three cats. She did everything I asked and even sent me pictures of them. Her fee was very reasonable. I will use her to watch my cats again in the future if needed!”

“Cathy was fantastic looking after our cats. We got lots of photos each day, which our previous Rover didn’t do. We will definitely have Cathy watch our cats next time we head out of town.”

About: As a college student-athlete, I’m dependable, active, and flexible with my schedule. I have previous dog-sitting experience and genuinely enjoy caring for pets, keeping them active, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away I am a part time tennis pro at Five Seasons Sports Country Club as well as a student at Thomas More University. I have my summer schedule and I have lots of availability during the week to take care of families best friends. I currently live in an apartment and don’t have the availability to keep others pets in my residence. However, I will travel to many different areas making sure pets stay on their normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and attention, while also keeping the home clean, secure, and respected. I understand how important trust and communication are, so I always provide updates and make sure owners feel comfortable while they’re away.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 16 years old. I am often asked by coworkers of family to house sit during their vacations. I have pet sat dogs, cats, fish, and even chickens! I am comfortable waking, giving medication, and cuddling (my personal favorite), whatever your pup needs! I have two dogs of my own. One of my dogs is a senior and is high need due to his bone cancer. He requires daily medication and will until we are able to remove the leg. My other pup is a rambunctious lab, who is high drive and needs daily stimulation so he doesn’t anger his older brother. I often take him on walks or use the pond near our home to tire him out! I am used to house sitting in all types of homes. If your pup needs a daily walk I am can do that. If they’re an outside pup we can take a walk or even a hike! I stay at the home and don’t leave often. I ask that a physical copy of directions are left so that I can give the 100% proper care and able to contact through phone as well!

“Hannah is absolutely INCREDIBLE. She loved on our teething 3 month old Aussie with so much grace. She sends lots of updates which is great for us because we always feel bad leaving her. Thank you Hannah for your patience and time! We will be a repeat customer for sure!”

“Lauren is such a great sitter! She's upbeat and kind to our animals, very flexible and follows instructions. She goes above and beyond each time we book with her!”

Alyson W.

“Destiny was great. She responded fast and always checked in with us with any questions and updates about our dogs. She sent us pictures each time she took care of our two dogs. I highly recommend Destiny and we'll be sure to book her again next time if she's available.”

Peter N.

“Ariel did a great job with Foo Foo. She walked her, too k care of her, gave her meds, and is very caring with her. She sent me pictures while she was with her and made me feel at ease that someone responsible was with my baby. I would definitely recommend Ariel!”

About: I used to work for a pet boarding company for a few years where I was feeding, walking, supervising play between dogs, and cleaning their kennels/litter boxes. I have also taken care of friends and families pets while they were away! My aunt fosters cats and whenever she does, I’m always helping her out. My roommate has a cat, Casper, that I take care while she is in class or at work. I make sure to feed him, give him enough water, and obviously play with him! Your pets safety is my number one priority. Making sure they feel safe and comfortable with me in the home is a must. Ensuring they are securely leashed while outside, respecting their boundaries, and enclosing all food around them are a few ways I make sure pets are safe in your home.

“Deanna took great care of my dog on the check ins. Walked and played fetch with him and she was always in touch. Will definitely go to her next time I need someone to check in on him!”

About: I've had pet since my earliest memories. On top of caring for pets of my own, including cats, dogs, reptiles, arachnids, and more, I also fostered animals in southern Indiana for 5+ years. Now that I'm in the Cincinnati area I want to find a way to help animals again so I joined Rover! I currently work as a contractor for a delivery company so I choose my own hours, this way I have time to fit in the furry friends. I can come any time, day or night! When caring for pets in someones home I always make sure to have a list of things the pet parents want to make sure is done. I also make sure all cabinets and doors are secure before leaving a room, this way pets can't get into anything they shouldn't. When outside with the pups, I always make sure to keep them on the outside away from the road when walking on sidewalks.
