“Charlotte was so awesome! She learned how to do Stonks' insulin and gave him a lot of love and attention. When he ended up getting sick, she was extremely communicative and took extra time out of her day to watch him and keep me updated as I made the trek back home. Would absolutely use her again!”
About: I have been blessed to have pets my whole life! I’ve had 2 medium sized pups and a big pittie- Great Pyrenees mix! I have cared for little pups all the way up to older dogs’ last moments. I am currently a full time student at UC, so this is a way I can get some doggie snuggles in while making some money as well! I have done extensive training and certifications to work at shelters around the Cincy area. I am almost always home all day Friday-Sunday and get back from school in the afternoon Tuesday-Thursday. I am neighbors with my mom who works at home 24/7 so she would be able to check in on the pups if needed! I have taken care of dogs in and out of crates, free fed and scheduled meals, health issues, trained and untrained, etc. I love taking dogs to the dog park, walks and play dates! After an exhausting day Id love to snuggle up or relax with them outside!
“My introduction to ROVER was a very positive one. First of all, Shanta did a great job of communicating what we could expect and the services she provides. During the 5 days we were on vacation, I always knew I could call or text to see how our cat, Simon, was doing. In fact, she even sent us pictures of Simon during his stay. And when we needed to pick him up earlier than expected, Shanta was very accommodating. Overall, it was a good experience.”
“Ashley & Trinity are reliable and super communicative. They were very proactive when one of our cat litter box (automatic) stopped working. We are very thankful to have such reliable cat sitters like thyme that care to do a good job but that you can honestly feel they care for our kitties. They love them.”
“Sandy was wonderful and my cats quickly bonded with her :) She was one time for all 10 drop ins, very attentive, left detailed notes and photos every day, and truly had me feeling minimal anxiety about leaving my fur babies at home for so long. Knowing they had someone who enjoyed coming over and spent dedicated playing time with them every day was a blessing and I highly recommend her to anyone reading this!”
About: I’ve lived and loved cats and dogs of all ages all my life! I currently have three cats and a snake at home, and I know how hard it is to leave them behind when traveling. I have 10+ years of experience watching pets for family and neighbors who have peace of mind knowing their pets are loved while they’re away! I’m a full time researcher and master’s student, and am available in the early mornings evenings after 3pm and all day on weekends. My schedule would work best for pets that can be alone for 8 hours during the week while I’m at work. I can be very flexible with a pets individual needs. I love to cuddle and give affection to animals that seek it, but I also understand when space is necessary to build trust and respect. I love spunky, energized cats and dogs just as much as the lazy loafs!
About: Hi! We're Charlotte and Leslie, your favorite Queer Aunties. Our boys are Otis and Auggie and they can't wait to meet you and your pet! Otis is the Friendliest Friend Who Ever Friended -- he's a 68-pound pittie mix who has never known a stranger. He is great about matching energy with his doggo friends and responds well to communication from other dogs. We joke that his energy level is along the lines of being a sprinter, not a marathoner, but if your pet is a marathoner he will do his very best to keep up. As long has he gets to take a nap afterward, LOL! Auggie loves to run in the back yard with his friends and play tug with them. He's also a pittie mix spends his time either solar charging in the yard or napping near his humans. We've learned that he sometimes needs slow introductions to new friends and is perfectly content to spend time in his crate to decompress when needed. I've owned dogs since I was a teenager and have added cats to my household in the past few years. We have experience with special needs dogs and cats - we like to learn what their needs are so that we can set them (and us!) up for success. We're accustomed to giving medication, syringe feeding, monitoring behaviors, etc. We both work from home and are able to play with your pet and let them out for potty breaks multiple times a day. If left home alone, it would be for no more than 2-3 hours at a time. Your pet will be loved and spoiled as if it were our own. We allow our pets on the furniture and have multiple cat trees and dog beds around the house. We have a large fenced-in back yard for the pups to run and play in. Otis also has a couple of friends in the neighborhood that we may introduce your pet to for a group playdate. Your pet is sure to have a fun time no matter what!
“Heather was an excellent care provider for my cat! She made sure he was fed. She cleaned the litter box and she even cleaned up throw up. My cat gets sick a lot. She was a big help to me. I highly recommend her. I would love to have her again!!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, including playful puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I am comfortable administering medications, following special care instructions, and creating a routine that helps pets feel happy and secure. I have also volunteered with 4 Paws for Ability training future service dogs and with Cincinnati Animal CARE walking shelter dogs, giving me experience with many different breeds, personalities, and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and love building trust with each animal I care for. I work a typical Monday-Friday 9–5 schedule, but caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for outside of work. My mornings, evenings, and weekends are available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and giving your pets the attention they need. I love staying active with dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are with me. My home has a fully fenced-in yard, providing a secure space for dogs to enjoy outdoor time and play safely. I also have cats who are used to sharing their space with other animals and are happy to keep to themselves, allowing visiting pets to have a calm, low-stress environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and care I would want for my own home. I follow all instructions closely, maintain pets’ routines, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: New to Rover, NOT new to cat sitting! I’ve been caring for cats ever since I was a little girl! Growing up, my family rescued numerous cats, so I’ve had experience with all kinds of personalities, from playful and outgoing to shy and independent. I now have two cats of my own here in Cincinnati, and they are my absolute world! As a cat mom myself, I know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind while traveling. I want to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friends are in loving hands! I also have experience administering small pills to cats. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or simply giving them space to feel comfortable, I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own! I currently work a corporate 9-5 job that is fully remote, so I can really make the schedule around my plans for that day to give all the love to your pets! When caring for pets in a home, my goal is to keep them as comfortable and happy as possible while sticking to their normal routine! I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and plenty of attention. Whether your cat loves playtime and cuddles or prefers their own space, I’m happy to adjust to their personality and needs. I also understand how important peace of mind is while you’re away, so I’m always happy to send pictures and updates! I’ll treat your pets and home with the same love, care, and respect I would my own.
“Jenna was awesome. She took my cat on at the last minute and was very nice and made accommodations for my cat when she did not like being around her animals. I will definitely use her again.”
About: Growing up with Steve Irwin as my role model, I have personal experience with pets of many varieties, including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, crabs, etc. I have professionally worked as a cat sitter for 2 years, as well as experience working in a vet clinic as a receptionist and assistant. I have experience with befriending the most timid pets, playing with the best of ‘em, and providing oral and topical medications. I am the full time pet parent to my two cats, Mabel and Luna! I am a mental health therapist by day and an animal lover all the time! I can be available for overnight stays on the weekends and for drop in visits/walks in the morning before 9am or after 4pm. I maintain a calm, loving demeanor with every pet I care for. Much like humans in therapy, I meet the pet where they are and encourage them by building a strong rapport. In your home, I will be respectful of the space by keeping it clean, as well as towards your pet!
“Absolutely fantastic experience with our pet sitter, Erika. She did an amazing job caring for my two cats, who are usually very wary of new people. By the end of her time with them, one of my cats even let her hold him which is a huge milestone and really shows how patient, calm, and gentle she was with both of them. Erika was very professional throughout, followed all instructions carefully, and always replied quickly, which really helped ease my stress while I was away. I felt completely confident knowing my two cats were in great hands. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Lots of great updates, looked like they had great quality time together! Brought peace of mind to see pics of my kitty having such a fun time when I had to find someone to take care of her at the last minute”
“We had Gwen sit our two dogs with periodic drop-in visits while we were away on vacation, and we couldn't be happier with the care she provided them! She really went above and beyond with their care, even taking the time to take one of our dogs to the vet for an appointment that had to be done during the time that we were away. It wasn't an ideal circumstance for us to have to ask a sitter to do such a thing, but Gwen had no problem going the extra mile for us, and it was incredibly helpful that she was able to do so. We couldn't be happier with the care Gwen was able to provide!”

I contacted Natalie one day before I left and she was so accomodating. She even fit in a meet and greet with me the morning before I left. Natalie did amazing with Kulfi! She was very respectful of his space, and followed all instructions. Thank you for taking such good care of him!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Lockland is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $18 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
