“Raven was such a lifesaver for us. We went out of town last minute, and she was able to take such amazing care of our dog. We are so grateful and will definitely use her again. 🙂”
“Jane was our first time using Rover, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience! She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable with the stay by meeting Poppy beforehand, sent pictures and updates while she was there, and Poppy was happy (and worn out) when we picked her up! We will 100% be using Jane again, highly recommend.”
“Tricia was amazing with my puppy. She provided updates with pictures and let me know each morning as to how my puppy was doing. I could tell my dog really enjoyed her time with Tricia. I plan on booking with Tricia again in the future!!”
“Sarah was great and my little girl doggy enjoyed playing with her little pups- also , I loved getting a video and a picture as well . I would definitely use her service again and recommend her as well.”
About: We're CJ and Michael, a couple of lifelong dog lovers who both grew up with dogs and have been pet-sitting for neighbors, friends, and family for years. CJ is a resident physician, so she's calm, responsible, and great at following your care instructions to the letter. Michael works from home in consulting, which means your dog will have company, attention, and plenty of potty breaks throughout the day, not just at drop-in times. We live an active lifestyle and love long walks, exploring parks, and spending time outside — so high-energy pups fit right in with us. Just as happily, we'll match a mellow dog's pace with couch cuddles and slow strolls. Your dog will be treated like family: exercised, loved, and safe. We'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you're away. Michael works from home full-time, so your dog will have company and attention throughout the day — not just quick check-ins. Walks fit naturally into our daily routine: a morning walk, a midday break, and once CJ is home from work, we take a long evening walk that your dog is more than welcome to join. We're active on weekends too and love bringing a dog along to parks and around the neighborhood. Your dog will stay in our clean, dog-friendly home with plenty of cozy spots to relax. We keep a consistent routine — regular walks, fresh water, and lots of attention. All walks are leashed, and we're careful about doors, gates, and anything a curious pup might get into. If your dog is crate-trained, we're happy to keep that routine going. We treat every dog like our own and send regular photo updates so you always know how they're doing.
“Michelle was great! She was very accommodating with our drop off and pick up times which was very appreciated. We planned a meet and greet prior to the stay and it was very evident our dog was comfortable there. We'd definitely like to use Michelle again!”
“Michelle is the nicest pet sitter I never met before, she keep us updated with tons of photos every day and let us feel extremely safe when we are not close to my dog. My dog looks happy through out the stay and eat exactly what I told her to feed. Before she give my dog treats, she even texted us and asked us if it is okay to give him this and that. I would highly recommend her as your pet sitter no matter long or short stay.”
“Lauren is just the best! She treats Mabel like her own and sends us lots of pics and videos throughout her stay. Mabel is so happy and content with Lauren and we are so grateful for her!!”
“Biscuit was only 15 weeks old and was skeptical leaving her with a sitter but Lauren was great . Kept me posted at all times and biscuit was happy the whole time she was with her Highly recommend”

“This was my first time using Rover. Kimberly responded to my initial request to board my dogs at her house within minutes and was able to board them on short notice. She was very friendly and flexible with pick-up and drop-off times since she works from home. Her backyard is fenced and pretty spacious which allowed my dogs to get some exercise. Kimberly sent multiple photos and videos during my dogs’ four-night stay. She has a dog who got along with my two except for some minor disagreements (growling) during meal time. I would use Kimberly again.”
“Krista and her husband are AMAZING!!!! Their dog is so sweet and they all made my dog feel right at home. Krista sent pictures and updates of my dog and I loved seeing how well she was doing. My dog was in heaven with all of the attention and being allowed on the couch and bed. I was enjoying my trip knowing my dog was in such great hands. I highly recommend Krista and will definitely have my dogs stay with them again when I go out of town!!”
About: Hi, I’m Elaine! I recently moved to Cincinnati after graduating from Hanover College this May and am really excited to get into animal-care here! I love dogs and am passionate about animal welfare. I have years of experience between my family’s two dogs, my five foster dogs, and from being an active volunteer at my local humane society. Through my time as a humane society volunteer and staff member I have become comfortable with dogs of all energy levels, breeds, and sizes. I am committed to using my experience to ensure the best care possible for your pets! I’d love connect and talk more! I currently work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets throughout the day! I’m also available on weekends and during evenings Tuesday through Thursday. I love spending my free time with animals and am happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I have experience fostering dogs through animal shelters, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I always make sure pets feel safe and loved while sticking to their normal routines. Whether that means going on walks, playing with toys, or just relaxing together, I tailor my care to each pet. I also love sending pictures and updates so you can feel confident your furry friend is in good hands!
“Our dog Luna spent a week with Joe and Laurie and had her own vacation while we vacationed! We felt so comfortable with Joe and Laurie. They were very focused on learning Luna’s routine and wanted us to feel comfortable. They were so accommodating! Luna will be a regular visitor in the future!”
“Amazing sitter! My dogs were happy and relaxed after staying with her which tells me that they stayed active and engaged through their visit! She let us see the space they’d be staying in, the dog park and other areas they’d be accessing. It was a beautiful home and she was very friendly and attentive! Will absolutely be using her services again!”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Lockland is $40
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lockland
Colleen’s house was exactly what we hoped for! We appreciated her daily photo updates throughout Daisy’s stay. Her dogs kept our 10-year-old dog active, occupied, and comfortable. Her house/porch was perfect for Daisy’s preference to hang outside. We will definitely rebook again!
Elisheba took great care of my two dogs! Usually my pups are timid when they first arrive at a new place, but as soon as we got to her house they were excited and started running around. Elisheba sent photo updates and was very communicative and responsive throughout the process.
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.
Siri was so amazing with my dog, Rooster (Roo)! She treated her just like her own and sent so many adorable pictures of them playing, snuggling, and running errands. She was also happy to keep Roo for an additional day when my flight was unexpectedly cancelled. I am so relieved to have found a wonderful local sitter and cannot recommend her enough!!

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 .
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.
