Mia jumped right in and came to meet my dog the night I requested her. She is reliable and sends lots of pictures. I feel confident my dog is well cared for with her.

Mckinzey is super sweet and my boys absolutely loved her! I’m very happy to have found somebody we all like. Great communication and very patient during the meet and greet with my dogs since they’re afraid of strangers of first. We can’t wait to hangout with her again!

Jennifer was a great vacation mom for our two cats. She filled the void of our absence perfectly. She took care of both of them, fed them, made sure the litter box is good to go, mittens even came and wanted to be played with. Pope on the other hand is a very selective cat, she only wants to be pet on her time, even with us. Jennifer left pictures each day, of how she interacted with our cats. Highly recommended to each and every cat owner as a caretaker. Will definitely book her again

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 10 years old! I absolutely love animals, especially dogs and have grown up in a dog household (my family currently has three dogs of our own-a lab/aussie mutt, a mini-aussie, and a doodle). I have experience caring for puppies, as well as basic training. Additionally I have experience caring for senior animals as well as dogs with special dietary requirements. Caring for dogs is a true passion of mine. I look forward to helping you with your doggy needs. I am currently training to be a professional dancer at Cincinnati Ballet's Otto M. Budig Academy. Since all my dance training is late in the evening and I have a very flexible work schedule I am fully available from 8:30 until 3:45 to pop in and play with and care for your beloved pets! My parents have always been adamant that animal-care comes before all other duties, so ever since I bought my own puppy (ironically with money I made pet-sitting) at 13 I have made caring for her the first thing on my morning schedule. Additionally I always make sure to give my dog specifically but also the other two dogs my family owns, plenty of exercise and enrichment through walks and playtime. I also make it a point to brush my dog every day since her hair frequently knots otherwise. All these habits are reflected in my care for my client's pets, if not magnified by my sense of duty to ensure the safety and well-being of the pet I have been entrusted to care for.

Monroe did a great job with my cats. They are very reclusive so she didn't actually see them, but she visited faithfully and took care of their needs. She is very pleasant and cooperative to work with. Highly recommend.

Sara has been great with my corgi, Cersei! She is always on time and has been incredibly flexible with my schedule. She is also very considerate with Cersei and accommodating to her needs for the past few months and Cersei loves her. She will continue to be my go-to whenever I need someone to help with Cersei.

About: I grew up with dogs and Christmas still includes 5 pups. I have put boots on an aging golden retriever and have administered medication to dogs with both dementia and epilepsy I work from home so I can provide drop in service before 9, at lunch or in the evening. If I am house sitting I can work from your home and provide more frequent bathroom breaks but depending on the stay length/day I may need to leave for 2-3 hours in the even for social engagements or to care for my own cats. I will not have other animals in my home out of concern for my cats but I intend to match the pets daily schedule to my best ability to minimize the disturbance in their routine and provide some extra love while they are missing their humans.

About: I’m an animal lover of all kinds! I have 5 cats, some are special needs, and I grew up with golden retrievers. I’m eager to provide excellent care to your pets! Although life with kids is busy, I take pride in taking great care of your pet! I work until about 2oclock each day leaving the rest of the day free, and I’m usually available throughout the day on the weekends. I have kids that can play and help keep your pet company, as well as a nice, fenced in yard. I do have pets myself (cats) and will keep them separated from your pet if needed.

About: I started in the pet industry in 1999. I managed for Jacks Aquarium & Pets for 10 years. I was the livestock manager at Feeders Supply Fairborn. I also train Horses professionally and have been a member of the local dog obedience club. In addition to extensive training experience, I have a lot of medical experience and have no problem taking care of special needs animals. Also happy to sit for livestock and exotics. I train Horses full-time so my schedule is extremely flexible because I can book on days that are free. Whatever your pet needs I can accommodate. I provide safe positive compassionate handling. Pets in my care are happier and better handled when they leave me than when they began. Let me help you and your pet connect.

I rebooked Gracie! She truly has an amazing personality! And is extremely capable to handle my elder cat who needs a little extra attention and more daily steps when being watched. Gracie has been morning but amazing, very communicative and is willing to take those extra steps my sweet girl needs! Highly recommend Gracie to be your pet sitter and I will continue to use her!

About: I will happily care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Whether your pet wants to lay around or go for a hike, we can do that! I have experience training a dog of my own, so I can maintain your usual basic training/rules if needed. I have a great deal of experience giving medication, both liquid and pills to cats and dogs. I am also open to more than just cats and dogs! I have cared for birds, reptiles, frogs, fish, and more. I’m currently working 8am-5pm Monday-Friday. I understand if this does not work for your pets needs, but I assure you I deeply enjoy caring for animals and your pets are a priority to me. It would be amazing to be able to support myself pet sitting, you can help me achieve that! I will care for your pet in your own home. I will abide by the rules of your home and look after your pet like they were my own.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in grad school. Mainly took care of medium to large dogs, from puppies to 10+ years old. I have a 2 year old GSP named Miles who keeps me occupied most of the time. I work 7:30-3:30 most days during the week (regular full time job). But my weekends are usually open. I do quite a few different activities to keep my little guy occupied (and I think your pup will like them too). Activities include fetch, running, hiking, some scent work, etc. I have a 7 foot tall vinyl fence that my little guys loves to play in. I mostly keep hard chew toys around and plenty of treats.

About: I’m currently living on campus at my college and I come from a company in my hometown called HomeWard Bound which is a pet-care company that is very similar to Rover. I have many months of experience which lead me to enjoy this job and wanting to continue it when I live on campus. Over the summer I will be mainly free since my priority is occupying my time with taking care of animals and learning more about them! I care with patience and trust. I allow the pet to warm up to me if needed, no forcing. I follow instructions thoroughly since I have experience from taking care of numerous amount of animals.

About: After having worked in a veterinary office and years of pet sitting, I believe I can provide excellent care for your dog so you won't have to worry. I am able to provide house visits throughout the day, frequent walks, and some play time. I am aware of dog habits, training, and social interactions allowing for me to be aware of what the dog is meaning or wanting. I am physically fit, so I look forward to taking your dog on walks or runs and having a fun play day. Also I am not afraid to provide any bathing or special care your pup may need while you are away. I look forward to speaking with you and having a great time with your pup!! Having a dog myself that had some particular health issues, I am very familiar with the need to having someone who cares and knows what they are doing when taking care of my pet and therefore I supply the same amount of time, care and patience to others pets as well. I am very particular about my own home and therefore treat others homes the same. And if possible leave it better than how I found it. I make sure everything is cleaned up and ready for when the owners return.

Gracie was the first Rover we ever hired. I felt so much more comfortable when I read that she is working as a vet tech and is obtaining education for that field as well. Part of me doesn’t want to leave a review because I want to be able to book with her as much as possible haha. But she is such a kind person who genuinely cares for animals and would be such a great addition to your pet’s team. 10/10 recommend!

This was our first time using Allie and she was wonderful! She took amazing care of all my babies. My skittish/fearful pup did really well with her, she was very patient with him. She always watched out for my escape artist (our cat 🐈‍⬛ ) to make sure he didn’t get out. He’s a stinker. Lol 😝 I will be using Allie in the future and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind for their pets while they are away.

We rebooked Kelly to watch our dogs when we were out of town and she was fantastic as usual. One of our foster dogs can be a little nervous around new people and Kelly was great with her. We got back to dogs who were relaxed and totally normal. It was as if we’d just stepped out for a normal work day! Kelly kept their routines running smoothly. It’s like they barely noticed we were gone! We will definitely book with her again!
