“Great communication, great with my TWO dogs. Walks them together better than I can myself ?. Highly recommend. Very flexible & has great availability for what I need right now.”
About: I have been in the veterinary field for 5 years and work general practice and emergency medicine. I am able to give medicine of all kinds including injectable medicine. I love animals and will always treat your pet as my own. I do work full time in the veterinary hospital and I am available on weekends and some days during the week. I will be available most holidays as well. I clean up after them if there are any accidents. I will ensure they have food and water when allowed per instructions. They will be walked and have play time. They will be treated as my own.
About: I have had pets, mainly dogs, my entire life and I have a true love for animals. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for over 6 years. I have recently joined the Rover community and I am excited for this new experience! I do work a part-time job so my availability often differs by the day but I still have plenty of time for pet care! The earlier I am requested and care is planned out, the better I will be able to adjust my schedule to your needs! I have plenty of experience caring for pets, majority dogs, in their own home and my goal is always to make them feel comfortable in their space! My availability for caring for pets in my home is more limited but I do have a fenced yard and two dogs(one small and one medium) that are both friendly with other dogs and able to be crated if necessary!
“Andrea has been so good to my mini dachshund. My dog is sometimes anxious, stubborn, and can lash out a bit if she is triggered. But Andrea has remained patient and given me frequent updates on her visits. She is great!!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for family and friends for as long as I can remember. I love going on walks and seeing new parts of the city and would love to have a companion on my adventures. Our family dog passed a little over a year ago and I miss having a pet in my life even if just for a quick 20 minute walk. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I am currently on summer break from work and would love to take care of your pet in my free time. My schedule is fairly open and flexible. I have a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood and own a crate if needed for their comfort. I foster dogs so I have raised food and water dishes, a bed, and other essentials to make their stay comfortable.
“Stephanie took care of my two cats when I was out of town for an extended work trip. She did a great job: they were well taken care of and really warmed up to her. I appreciated her clear communication, especially around an incident where one of my cats knocked a houseplant over. I'd definitely consider hiring her again if I have another longer term trip!”
“I had the absolute pleasure of having Mikaela stop by and care for my cats while my husband and I were away, and I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about the experience! She spent quality time with them, made sure their food and water were taken care of, gave them plenty of attention and cuddles, and kept me updated on how they were doing. When we arrived home late that evening, it was obvious how happy, relaxed, and well cared for they had been. Knowing they were in such great hands made all the difference and allowed us to enjoy our trip worry free. I will absolutely be booking with Mikaela again!”
“Maureen was amazing with our dogs! She was highly communicative and sent us so many pictures of her feeding them treats and taking them on a walk which we REALLY appreciated. Our dogs seemed very happy when we came back home.”
“Susan is awesome and so caring! She cares for my pup just like I would! She’s very reliable and follows all the detailed instructions. I am glad to hire her again!”
About: I got my first dog at age 14 and the condition was that I provide all of the care and train her. Many friends and neighbors call on me to care for their pups and I’ve even done a three month stent caring for two senior dogs. 16 years ago I got my first cat and now here I am with four of them. I also have a leopard gecko and I’m learning a lot more about reptile care. I am currently off for this summer and have complete open availability to walk, play with, and starve your babies with attention. I am delighted at the opportunity! I do not offer care in my own home, but I am happy to provide care in yours as my husband can care for our animals without me present. I will follow whatever routines and expectations needed for your pet.
“Kristian is excellent with my 2 dogs. She is always on time, and very energetic with them. I know my pups will be in great hands and i look forward to booking her and hope to for a long time.”
“Taylor was great as always with our cats!! We love the photos she sends and how well she follows our instructions! It was so nice to have peace of mind over the holidays that our babies were in good hands!!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large dogs. Throughout the years I’ve been responsible for walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for family pets, including watching them for multiple days while family members were away on vacation. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and will emphasize building trust with both pets and their owners. I currently work part-time in the evenings, which allows me to offer flexible daytime care for your pets. I’m generally available until 5:00 PM for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. Whether your dog needs exercise, a potty break, or simply someone to spend time with them during the day, I’m happy to help. I enjoy being active and love having a companion by my side on walks. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I am attentive, responsible, and committed to following any instructions you provide regarding your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, or special needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will treat your dog with the same care and attention I would give my own. My goal is to provide a safe, positive, and enjoyable experience while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in good hands.
“Emily took great care of our two cats while we were away. She was always in communication, giving updates and sending pictures, and went above and beyond when we asked for extra help with small items. We were very comfortable knowing that our cats were so well taken care of. We will definitely book with Emily again. Thank you!”
“Super thankful for Azya checking in on my Ivy while we were out of town. She sent daily photos of her, which was super reassuring, and gave her all the snuggles. She took excellent care & was very communicative. She went above and beyond and I highly recommend her taking care of your fur baby!”
“Allison is the best! She is a great communicator - she responds quickly and clearly. She sends lots of pictures and follows directions perfectly. She took such good care of our pups and they loved her! We will definitely use her again! Thank you, Allison!”
“Brendan was great with our 2 dogs. The dogs seemed to like him and the pictures proved that. He took his time with each dog individually which was nice for the dogs to get their own attention. Thank you for respecting our home and taking care of our fur-babies! We are definitely keeping Brendan in our favorites.”
“Muning and Corey took excellent care of our two cats while we were away. They were very communicative and helpful, and went above and beyond taking extra care of our older cat who had frequent accidents. I highly recommend them both for any pet care care. Thank you, Muning and Corey!”
“Katrina has been filling in for my regular dogsitter for the last 6 weeks and has done a wonderful job! The dogs love her. She comes over 2 days a week to let them outside and visits with them. She is very reliable and sends me a note about the visit as well as pictures. I highly recommend Katrina!”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lockland stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lockland choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Lockland with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lockland. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
