“Abigail took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. She was very attentive, making sure Sancho received his medicine every day without any issue, and kept us updated with messages and photos that gave us peace of mind. Both of our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we came back. We truly appreciate her kindness and dedication, and we would definitely trust her again in the future!”

“Brooke was great with my kitty. She came in daily for a week and I could tell Ravi was very comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Brooke to all! This was my first time using Rover and Brooke was very responsive which put me at ease.”

“Kasey was great! She was very prompt, had great communication and was reliable. Our girl was taken care of and got lots of love while we were away. Would highly recommend!”

About: With over 5 years of hands-on experience, I provide personalized care for pets of all ages! I treat every animal like family—playtime, cuddles, and safety always come first! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and any special needs like medications or grooming. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I make sure every pet feels cared for and secure. Their happiness and well-being are always my top priority, every single day. I create a calm, clean, and safe environment tailored to each pet’s needs. In my home, pets enjoy a secure space with plenty of toys, supervised playtime, and comfy resting areas. When in a client’s home, I stick to their pet’s routine, keep things tidy, and ensure the pet feels comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, or snuggles—I give them all the love and attention they deserve
About: I’ve had experience with all types of animals from guinea pigs to horses! Being around animals has always been a must for me and continues to be a reason why I love life! I’m currently working part time while also juggling part time in school for nursing!! I’m pretty free throughout the week, and would love to make some summer money for school!! I make sure my cat has a strict schedule for feeding and even she knows it haha! My aunt is a vet and has taught me everything I need to know when taking care of animals!
“Needed a sitter last second and tried Rover for the first time. I’m so glad I picked Mattie! She was super responsive and really was great! And our dog literally loved her during a quick pre-visit and she’s usually wary of new people. I can’t thank Mattie enough!”

About: I've taken care of many different kinds of animals for many years. I've gravitated towards animals as long as I can remember, and have always seeked experience wherever I can. I have walked, animal sat, full groomed, bathed, and more! Anything that I haven't done, I'm always willing to learn! I currently go to college and live on campus! During the summer months I am home and have lots of time to work with your pets! My schedule is relatively open through July and fairly flexible come August! Feel free to send me a message for details!! I'm always willing to work with what your dog does best with! I'm able to crate when needed, use a long line, and have many tools and leashes if needed!
About: I have been a pet owner all my life and always have had a passion for animals growing up. I have been professionally pet sitting for many years now. I have 2 rescue dogs named Gemma and Ollie who I absolutely adore. I enjoy what I do and would be happy to watch your fur babies! I do accounting during the day but work from home so I have plenty of time to care and play with your pups! I have flexible drop off and pick up times too because of working remotely. I have a fenced yard with 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. We also have a camera to keep an eye on your pups if we step out for a bit.

“Proximity for drop-ins were very important to us, and Allison just so happened to be very close to where we live. She did an awesome job updating us while she was taking care of all our animals. We look forward to using her services again in the near future!”

About: From the day I was born, I've been around dogs. I've always been the caretaker type, so I've been caring for them and loving dogs since I was young. When I was 18, I got my first dog, Tucker. I raised him from the time he was 8 weeks old up until the day he passed at 15. He was my soul dog. At age 14, he had to have both of his eyes removed, so I have personal experience with blind dogs. I now have my heart dog, Zoie, who I’ve put through training with Roaming Rover’s. I’m also an active volunteer at Cincinnati Animal CARE so I interact with all types of dogs. I typically do walk group or day trips there so I’ve handled dogs of all sizes and personalities! I'm currently working full-time from home but I have a lot of flexibility and can really work from anywhere as long as I have my phone and/or access to the internet. Again, I'm pretty flexible and can really make just about any time work to come play with your pups and/or walk them! I work fully remote so I’m able to let your dog out/walk them as often as needed! My dog gets several walks per day with plenty of opportunity to get energy out. Also, since going through training, I’ve learned a lot about enrichment for dogs and how that looks different for each dog.
About: I’m very good with animals, I have 5 pets of my own including cats and dogs and I also just love animals and want to be around them as much as I can! Right now I’m completely free for the summer and so I would be available to come and take care of them and am even willing to stay over nights but I still live at home so it would have to be at a clients house. I love to play with pets, cuddle or anything else that the specific pet might need. I’m pretty flexible and I’ve dealt with the gross stuff so that doesn’t bother me either.
“Mariah was great, she was really flexible and met for a meet and greet before scheduling and showed up on time for all of the scheduled visits and left detailed reports and even cleaned up when there were accidents. Would absolutely schedule with her again!”

“Tiffany was excellent. She showed up when she said she would, followed instructions to a T and was so very kind. My girl was not stressed out when I returned home as she has been in the past with other sitters.”

“Blake did a great job checking on our cats while we were away! He was even able to help with the inhaler for our cat with asthma and feed our bearded dragon. Would definitely recommend Blake!”


“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!”

I contacted Mariah on very short notice, asking for help the next day. She responded very quickly and, lucky for me, was even able to come meet the dogs that same evening. She took great care of my dogs. I will definitely request her help again. Thanks, Mariah!
