About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, I am naturally quiet and calm so dogs especially are very comfortable around me. I’ve cared for dogs, cats and horses while their humans were away for 40 plus years and I am reliable and thoughtful with every visit. I’m retired and spend most days gardening with my dogs so I’m very flexible. It’s easy for me to make time to add pet care to my schedule. I care for my clients pets per their direction and request adding in lots of kindness and praise. I arrive on time ready to engage with them.
“Gabby did GREAT handling my two big babies! They loved her and I had no issues. I will for sure be rebooking Gabby when I need help in the future. Thanks again!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, bearded dragons, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, etc. I look forward to caring for your pet and treating them like my own! I’m working part time at the moment and have flexible hours, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet on a schedule that works for you! I make sure to keep the dog’s schedule as typical as possible and I listen to any instructions that the owner may have for me.
“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.”
“Megan is an amazing sitter who took great care of my special needs dog when I had to leave town for work. She gave him his insulin without any issues and gave me great notes on how the visit went. She went above and beyond in every visit and she is at the top of my list for future needs. She really kept my heart at ease when I couldn’t be home and made me feel good about leaving him in her care.”
“This was Jeff’s first time with our cat and he worked with us to get to know our cat and his needs during our time away. He was on time, communicative, and followed the medication and feeding instructions. We will rebook.”
About: I’ve been around and loving animals my whole life. I have had my dog Copper since I was a puppy and as he has gotten older I have learned how to care for older senior dogs and the responsibility that comes with that. My more recent pup, Buckley, I got a couple years ago. I trained and raised her myself so I also have experience with puppy care as well. While pursuing my undergraduate degree I volunteered at an Animal Shelter as a pet adoption counselor and dog walker, so I have lots of experience with a wide variety of breeds and pet safety. I currently have a 2 year old cat named Cleo that I am the sole caretaker for, and have a lot of experience cat sitting as well. As a first-year Doctor of Physical Therapy student at UC, I spend a lot of time at my desk studying and would love a furry study buddy! My class schedule fluctuates week-to-week between 9 AM and 4 PM, so I am generally unavailable for midday check-ins during the week (unless you live right next to campus). However, my evenings and weekends are completely wide open and dedicated to pet care. I love going for long walks to clear my head after class and am more than willing to house-sit and spend the night. Your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship when I am off campus! With my background as a dog walker and shelter adoption counselor, I am fully trained in pet safety, reading animal body language, handling worst-case scenarios, and administering medications. Because I have experience with both energetic puppies and senior dogs, I easily adapt to whatever level of care and attention your pet requires, making sure they get at least one good walk a day or a fun weekend trip to a local park or hike. I am also passionate about feline enrichment and love setting up daily toy rotations or interactive puzzles to keep cats mentally stimulated and happy. To ensure your pet stays completely comfortable in their own routine and to keep my own cat happy at home, I exclusively provide care in your home and am more than happy to house-sit and spend the night so your furry family member gets plenty of evening cuddles, consistent companionship, and the best care possible!
“Colleen was punctual, courteous, and took care of my girls with no issues! She was able to accommodate a sudden change in plans with ease and I genuinely appreciated it! 💗”
“Siri was a delight to work with. Her own introduction here on Rover is just the beginning. Over a long holiday, Siri’s plan, approach, visits, support for both our cat and dog, communications, consistency, and follow up were impeccable. She put our minds at ease and earned our trust. I’m happy to say that we found someone that we can count on.”
“This was our first time using Rover and meeting/hiring Susan. We feel like we have known Susan longer than two individual times. Took great care of our two dogs, followed all instructions, gave us a report card for every visit, and included many photos each day. So happy we found a gem like Susan. Thank you so very much!”
“Jessalyn is just the best. She’s consistant, she’s flexible, she’s kind and caring, and she absolutely goes above and beyond every time! I am and will continue to be a repeat customer for sure.”
About: I am a dedicated pet lover and have worked in a dog daycare for 3 years. I will do whatever is necessary for your pets! I currently work 4 days a week from morning to afternoon. Weekends during the day would be best for my schedule but I am flexible! I have a large fenced in yard for your fur baby to play. I will walk as far as you’d prefer. I will send update pictures if you’d prefer!
“Thank you sooo much. Amika prioritized my dog’s care, administered his meds and cared for him with love. I felt good about leaving him with her. I will definitely book with Amika in the future.”
“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!!”
“Misr is very personable. She came for a visit ( which was with my partner)aince it was her first time dropping in to care for the two dogs. We first video chatted and I knew I selected someone with pet experience and a real love and connection towards animals. Both of us felt the sincerity and warmth immediately. The dogs, one of which is not social both liked her spirit. Misty followed instrucions and requests to a t, was prompt and thorough. So glad I chose Misty to allow us to be gone Christmas day and not worry the dogs were in excellent care. Thank you for facilitating a break away from home and lovingly checkimg on our 2 dogs.”

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.
Mia was absolutely amazing with my cockapoo, Ginger! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of her while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely book with Mia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lockland on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,414 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lockland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

- 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
