“Elizabeth did a great job dropping in on our gaggle of kitties (mama and babies fosters added some chaos!) While we were out of town. I appreciated her being agreeable to a quick meet and greet beforehand since our logistics were a little complex and too much to type out ? She followed instructions well and kindly brought in a couple packages we received. I recommend her for sure!”

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!

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have been caring for dogs since I was a pre-teen. Growing up with dogs of all shapes and sizes helped me learn how to care for different personalities and needs. I currently have a senior dog of my own, so I understand the patience and attention pets deserve. I enjoy walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles, and I would love the chance to care for your pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work a full-time hybrid job and typically work from home Fridays. During the work week, I’m available after 5pm, and I’m free anytime on Saturdays and Sundays. If a pet needs to be let out during the day, I also have the flexibility to stop home during lunch when needed. I’m happy to make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need throughout the day. I live in a clean, well-maintained home with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable and relaxed. With a turfed patio have where dogs can safely run and play. I have an 11-year-old Goldendoodle who is very mild-tempered and does well with other dogs, which helps create a calm and friendly environment for visiting pets. I grew up with animals and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s playing outside, going for walks, or giving them plenty of attention and snuggles.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, my favorite breed is golden retrievers! I’m a very responsible medical student who is responsible and good at communication. I am part time with a variable but flexible schedule. Some weeks I can visit more frequently than others but I will be communicative about this. At home I have a fence for dogs. I’m looking to walk and/or visit. I am comfortable with crating. I am flexible to your dogs needs!
“Allison did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away for a week. She was super friendly, responsive, and easy to schedule with. We really appreciated the notes and pictures she sent everyday during her check-ins. We will definitely use Allison again in the future!”

About: I have always loved animals and have experience dog sitting and cat sitting. I also love walking dogs since I love the extra exercise :) I’m great with scheduling and making sure to always be available when possible! One thing I promise to not be, is a flake! I love animals and have a dachshund of my own who I’ve raised since a puppy. Safety of your fur baby to me is always the first most important thing I value! I promise to respect your needs and care for your pet in the best way I can as my own:)
“Alex was very prompt to respond to my request for a last-minute booking, took good care of my dog, sent detailed updates, and asked questions as needed. Alex was very professional in all aspects of communicating and completing visits.”

“Absolutely amazing experience! He went above and beyond; took great care of both my home and my pet. He truly spent quality time with my pet, giving him lots of attention and love. My pet was happy and relaxed when I got back. Best sitter I’ve had on Rover, hands down!”

About: Hello! i’ve had pets since 4 years old. I’m a cat owner and have dogs as well. I’ve helped family members/friends with drop ins for their dogs from time to time. I love animals and can handle small to large dogs as well as cats! I am currently working as a full time nanny. Mon-Fri 9-5 hours ish. I’d be willing to make drop ins before and after work. Weekends are free and flexible so i’d be happy to offer assistance on those days! I can assure you your pets will be safely taken care of in your home. Making sure they are given the correct food, medication, assistance, and are staying happy!
About: Growing up, I have always been surrounded by animals, whether they are birds, cats, dogs, or guinea pigs! Currently, I have a boxer named Rocky, and two cats named Yari and Little Girl. Apart from my own animals, I do foster day trips with Cincinnati Animal Care, and I have fostered a few stray puppies previously! I am currently working part time and in school, but am normally available mornings and nights to help out! Weekends are more flexible especially with overnights! I always ensure that my pets have access to food and water consistently in their daily routine, and are provided with adequate exercise and attention!
“Mary is amazing! First time using a drop in visit service on Rover. She took great care of my two girls and they loved her! I absolutely would recommend Mary and I 100% will use her again.”


“Leo had very unheard of off day and wasn’t feeling his injection, but Christina did not give up. I appreciated her willingness to make sure the job was done and was very communicative during the drop in.”


About: I have cared for dogs as long as I can remember ! I’ve never lived in a home where there isn’t some type of four legged friend around! I myself have 2 German Shepards who I have trained myself. I have experience with puppies, older dogs who need a little more attention, reactive dogs, everything under the sun truly ! I work a 8-5 job and am available between 1-2 to check in or walk pets ! I do not work Fridays so I have full availability Thursday- Sunday ! I have a fenced in yard that the pups could potentially enjoy to run there ! I have multiple parks that I frequent and am familiar with that I take my dogs to ! With your home I will be sure to know where everything is and wipe muddy paws before they come back in :)
About: I’ve been lucky to take care of dogs my whole life. I currently have some time off of work, and would love to spend some of that time giving some love, care, and exercise to your pets! Please reach out with any questions and I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently am pretty open as I search for a new career. I have two dogs that I love at home (both named Hank LOL), but am available any time during the day. In our home, our dogs are our world! I would treat yours just the same. We would discuss what your pet needs (exercise, snuggles, medication, companionship, all of the above).
About: Hi, I’m Nicole! For me, pet care has never been a side job—it’s always been part of who I am. For more than 20 years, I’ve volunteered with veterinary clinics, no-kill shelters, SPCAs, rescue organizations, kennels, and dog daycares, caring for animals of every age, breed, personality, and need. Throughout my life, people have joked that animals are simply drawn to me, and honestly, it’s one of the greatest compliments I could receive. Building trust with them comes naturally, and there’s nothing more rewarding than watching an anxious dog relax, a shy dog gain confidence, or an excited pup light up when they realize it’s time for our next adventure. After spending years as a Business Operations Manager, my company unexpectedly closed after 108 years in business. Rather than simply finding another corporate job, I decided to follow the passion that’s been in my heart all along—devoting my time to caring for animals. This isn’t something I’m squeezing into an already busy schedule. This is my career. My availability is intentionally built around the pets I care for, which means your dog receives my full attention, flexibility, and commitment. Every service I provide is designed as a boutique, concierge experience, thoughtfully tailored to your family’s routine and your pet’s unique personality, needs, and happiness at every turn. Whether we’re exploring a trail, playing enrichment games, keeping routines consistent while you’re away, or simply sharing quiet companionship, my goal is always the same: to make your pet feel safe, understood, loved, and genuinely excited to see me every time I arrive. I don’t want to be someone who just walks your dog or checks a box on your to-do list. I want to become someone your pet trusts, looks forward to, and feels completely comfortable with—while giving you absolute peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for with the same love, patience, and devotion I give my own dogs, Bubba and Pippa, who are truly family to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I fit into my day—it’s what I intentionally make time for. Every service I provide is personalized and thoughtfully tailored to both your pet and your family’s unique routine, preferences, and lifestyle. I take the time to understand what makes your companion feel safe, happy, and comfortable while also making your time away as stress-free as possible. Whether it’s adventure walks, enrichment, puppy or kitten guidance, medication administration, senior support, transportation, or simply maintaining familiar routines, every visit is designed around your pet’s individual needs. My goal is to become a trusted extension of your family, providing dependable, compassionate care and giving you complete peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and emotional well-being will always be my highest priorities. Every service I provide is thoughtfully personalized—not just for your pet, but for your entire family. I take time to learn your routines, preferences, house rules, training methods, and expectations so my care feels like a seamless extension of your own. I strictly follow all pet parent instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise limitations, behavioral cues, crate or free-roam preferences, and any special care needs. Consistency helps pets feel secure, so I strive to maintain the routines they’re already comfortable with. For exercise and enrichment, I carefully choose safe, pet-friendly environments. Depending on your comfort level and your pet’s personality, adventures may include favorite neighborhood walking routes, trusted dog parks, nature trails, or supervised play on a private, family-owned seven-acre property with large, securely fenced areas where dogs can safely explore, sniff, and play. Every outing is tailored to your pet’s age, temperament, energy level, and training. Whether I’m caring for an energetic puppy, a curious cat, a senior companion, or a pet with medical or behavioral needs, I prioritize patience, positive reinforcement, enrichment, and careful observation. You’ll receive thoughtful updates, photos, videos, and honest communication after every visit because I know you’re trusting me with a beloved member of your family. My goal is never to simply “watch” your pet—it’s to become a trusted, familiar friend they genuinely look forward to seeing while giving you complete confidence that they’re receiving the same love, attention, and care I’d give my own.
About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember and have even fostered a few pups. Growing up, my favorite place to visit was my family’s farm in Mississippi, where I’d spend hours watching the horses and bulls. Today, I have a fur baby of my own and understand how much they mean to you. When you trust me with your pets, I’ll treat them as if they were my own—with love, patience, and care. Pet sitting is my therapy, and it brings me so much joy to meet and care for animals of all kinds. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended care, I’m here to make sure your furry family members are safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away. I balance a busy life working at a medical office and studying as an undergraduate at UC, but pet sitting is my form of therapy. Taking care of animals brings me so much joy and helps me recharge. I love meeting different pets and building a connection with each one. No matter how full my schedule gets, I always make time to provide attentive and loving care to your furry family members. Let me know how I can make life easier for you and your pets. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on understanding and maintaining their normal routines to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I take the time to learn their feeding schedule, walking preferences, playtime habits, and any special care instructions you provide. Keeping your pets happy and stress-free in their own environment is my top priority.
About: I’ve had pets all my life, from cats and dogs to birds, guinea pigs, and fish. I’m passionate about giving every pet the love and attention they deserve, making sure they feel right at home while you’re away. I bring a genuine understanding of pet behavior and focus on personalized care in your pet’s own space. With my dog active in sports and training clubs, I’m comfortable with positive reinforcement obedience training. I’ve also fostered both puppies and adult dogs, so I’m familiar with various pet needs. Plus, I can handle giving both pills and liquid medications to dogs and cats. With my part-time work-from-home schedule, I have plenty of flexibility to accommodate your pet care needs. I can provide attentive and reliable care, whether it’s for short visits or longer stays, and adjust my availability to fit your pet’s routine. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort by following your specific instructions for their care. I’ll respect your home and adhere to your pet’s routine to ensure they feel secure and loved. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I’m committed to providing reliable, trustworthy care while you’re away.

Charlotte was on time and professional, taking care of my golden retriever Honey like she was her own! She took her out to go potty, played with her tennis ball and gave her lots of love and attention. Honey was very happy and I would definitely recommend Charlotte to watch your furry friend.
