About: We have watched many pets over the years and are finally bringing our love to the masses. :) We truly love all animals (every where we have lived animals indoor/outdoor just flock to us it seems ha). We give them the care they deserve and treat every last one as if it were our own personal pet. We have also had several pets through the years that needed medical attention daily (generally giving medication) and understand the importance of maintaining medicine/medical care in a very timely manner. If you are looking for the best care for your pet, look no further this family of pet lovers is where its at. We took a little time off to focus on some other things but we are back at it and ready to love and care for your pet better than anyone on this app 😀♥️ (we might be biased). I work from home full time so I am here almost 24 hrs/day to care for your lovely pet. On the weekends we come and go for short periods of time but generally we are home 80% of the weekend at least. We welcome long and short term pet stays, we just love pets. I have kids who "LOVE" to entertain/give attention to pets and try to teach them new tricks. I have several nearby dog parks, and 1 dog of my own. I have a Black Lab/Great Dane mix about 5 yrs old. He loves having other pets around after he get his sniffs in :)

“Shotzi made herself at home with Alyssa. We were very happy with the care she provided. We will call on her again when we're in the area.”


About: Hi there! Our family love both cats and dogs! We have two little dogs (Milo and Bentley) who are litter brothers from Japan and one sassy cat named Angie who is a rescue. I have had dogs my whole life and can’t imagine ever being without one! My boys and I love taking our dogs on walks around the lake and hanging out in our back yard and house. We would love for your furry friends come and spend time with us! I would be happy to accommodate any special needs your pet may have! I have three kids (7, 6, and 3) who all share in the fun of taking care of our animals. We live in the Loveland/Milford area. I am happy to answer any questions you may have! I am currently homeschooling my kids so we are home most of the day every day. My wife also works remotely from home so we are able to be around and watch our guests throughout the day. I have a medium sized fenced in back yard with a full view of the duck pond and a wonderful neighborhood for frequent walks and play.

About: Animals have always held a special place in my life, both personally and professionally. I’ve worked hands-on in both a veterinary clinic and a private kennel throughout high school and college, caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and medical needs. That experience, paired with years of pet ownership, has given me a deep understanding of what it means to provide attentive, compassionate, and reliable care. I currently work from home, which allows me to give pets consistent companionship and supervision throughout the day. I have no other animals at this time, and my children—ages 10 and up—are mature, gentle, and respectful. We have spacious indoor and outdoor areas, fenced-in backyard perfect for safe playtime, and we live in a friendly, walkable neighborhood with access to a quiet hiking trail and creek—ideal for nature-loving pets. I work from home. At most, your pet might be left alone for a couple of hours while I run brief errands. More often, they’ll be by my side—whether lounging nearby during the day or joining me for safe outdoor adventures, depending on your preferences and their comfort. I'll only keep multiple dogs if from the same family, and I'm also happy to provide a bath prior to the finish of their stay.

About: I’ve been a dog and cat lover my whole life! I started walking dogs around the neighborhood when I was a kid (a Rottweiler named Bear was my main client right after school), as well as cat sitting for 2 other neighbors. My childhood dog Lady was my responsibility and I cared for her as well as helping with our other dog Gunter and our cat Bella. Now I mainly pet sit for friends and family, hosting pets for a week or spending a holiday weekend at their house with the pets while they’re gone. I’ve dealt with dogs of all sizes and have never met a pet I can’t win over! Looking forward to hosting some pets at my house 😊 I work from home full time so I have plenty of time to care for a dog or cat during the day. Taking breaks to go for walks are very refreshing. I take care of dogs for week long stretches and it really brings my energy up having that companion around to lighten up the day! I care for pets as if they were my own. Pets are family and should be treated with love and attention. I let dogs and cats on the furniture and in the bed if I’m comfortable with them. If you prefer, I will follow crate rules as instructed. If your dog does require a more firm presence when it comes to training or walking style I am happy to work with you on your dogs specific needs.

About: I have been around animals my whole life including cats, dogs, rabbits, and goats. I fostered for a few years and volunteer when I can. I love getting to know the personality of the pet! Each one is unique! Currently working a unique schedule while in grad school. Schedule will be updated with availability as some days I will be available for 24 hour care. Partially fenced yard that will be fully fenced soon! I have 1 dog and 2 cats. A separate room is available for your pet to have their own space or they can have full access to the house. Whatever they need!

About: Aloha! I want to help you and your family member (dog/pet) feel less stressed about being away from each other! I noticed that every time I used a kennel service for our fur baby, our dog would get so scared, stress shed, nervous/anxiety, she would not eat, different times she caught kennel cough (which meant more vet bills), and our dog was definitely unhappy with the small kennel space surrounded by other upset loud barking pups/dogs/animals! I believe I can help your dog/pet feel loved, safe, comfortable, fed, clean, exercised, washed (optional), fun/waggy tails, like family when you are away. *** only DOGS UNDER 30lbs at this time. I’m sorry I need to regain my strength back first (my body has changed since having my second child*** Thank You for understanding. My name is Michelle. I love animals! We have a small dog, bunny and fish! I used to volunteer at SPCA and Paw-sitive (Non profit, walk, groom, and feed stray dogs until they got adopted). I have housesit/housesat and dogsit/catsit/ bird and turtles-sat for friends and was suggested to extend my love on ROVER! (Side note: My husband goes to work during the day, and he would care for our small dog while I care for yours. We have a 6 year old and now a 2 year old that loves animals as well. We moved here to Milford, Cincinnati from Hawaii. We have experience caring for animal, see pictures). I have went out of the way to teach , show and guide my children to be gentle, slow approaching/no sudden movements, no chasing, be responsible, ask before pet, be aware and careful around animals. I want to help other families feel comfortable and confident to leave their animal with me. We have our Covid shots and boosters. I am home everyday (except 4hours out of the week, when we do groceries or friends farm, or kids play dates). I keep my distance from crowds, we sanitize, and wash our hands frequently. I clean the house and wipe everything all the time. We got a new Hoover carpet wash, and our dog is up to date with shots! Your pet is safe and will be treated like royalty, pampered, loved like our pup/family! I have owned dogs most my life (had my first pup with the responsibilities at 6 years old, and owned/fostered animals for 20 years after) taking care of puppies, adults, to senior dogs (a pit bull, a Pekingese, Shih Tzu , then fostered a German Shepard, a Poodle, a black pup Lab), Taken cared of a Golden Retriever, a Pitbull, bulldogs, Soft- wheat Terrier, a bird, hamsters, turtles, a class pet guinea pig, and cared for friends cats too (see photos). Yes, I have a small dog but our house is big enough to have another dog/cat/pet around (gated , be in separate rooms , and kept separate/away from our dog if need) …better than being left alone in a kennel! Your pet will be taken out for a run or walk at least 4x a day (usually 4-8 times with pictures)! Schedule: I take your/our dog out first thing in the morning, lunch, around 3:30pm after I pick up my daughter from school, around/after dinner time then right before bedtime too, and update you with photos! I will spend time with your dog/pet. I will sit with, read to, massage, comb, feed and pet (constantly check on, if they don’t want to be disturbed)! Even while I read to my child, or while we watch tv. I have taught my children not jump around,not rush, nor scare animals. And my dog will be gated, separated, away from your dog/pet when we are out or when requested. My husband will be caring for our dog and will spend time with her, while ONLY I care for yours. I left my 911 emergency call taking position (Canada) to be a stay at home mother. I would love to care for, walk, play, cuddle with your dog and take your dog to the park with us too ! *** ONLY DOGS UNDER 30lbs at this time. Thank you*** I have a lot of room, space, toys, pillows, blankets for your pup/dog/pet (separated away from our dog), open concept spacious house, and animal-friendly neighborhood. I live in a cul-de-sac with extremely caring sweet neighbors that know me/us. Several families around us have animals of their own and I know most dogs have been trained or gone thru training as well as ours. I will text or email you pictures and FaceTime your dog/pet too if you like. Your dog/pet is unique and special to you so I will do my best to help. I will keep your dog/pet on a leash every time we go outside, so they don't go missing or let other dogs bother them. (Off leash free to run roam inside the house and I have a mini tread mill if outside walks and inside play is not enough). Our dog is up to date with all shots, vet visits, and takes medication for tick/flee, heart worms. We give our dog a shower once every other week and when she gets muddy. I can help clean your dog/pet too, let us know!

About: I have been pet sitting for over thirteen years. I had dogs of my own but now I love to spend time with different dogs. My yard is fenced in but I always stay outside with the dogs when they go out. I consider them family so they are welcome to spend time on the furniture or sleep in bed. My four year old granddaughter is frequently in my home and loves to spend time with the dogs I watch. We love to play outside with the dogs in our care. My schedule is open so that I am able to let any animals that are in my care outside as needed. Basically, any animal that is in my care is treated like they are part of our family.

About: I’ve been lucky enough to be trusted with baby sitting, house sitting, and pet sitting for the past 10+ years. I pride myself on building honest and positive relationships that last and would be honored to be trusted with your home and/or animals! With a rescue pup of my own, I can promise to provide the same unconditional love and commitment to your sweeties, as I do my own. I am an educator who works part time over the summers! I also only live about 6 minutes from my part time job which gives me the opportunity to have an extremely open and flexible schedule! I am extremely observant and pay attention to detail. As an educator, it is my job to be able to multitask while also fostering emotional and comfort needs. I make sure to do everything to the fullest including following your needs and anticipating what your loved one may want/need next!

About: I have owned dogs my whole life and have experience training all of them. I have 3 dogs of my own and they are very good boys. My family and friends love to use me as their dog boarder whenever they need to get away. I have a very flexible schedule as I am a stay-at-home mom to two beautiful children. I am available any day of the week to care for your dog/dogs. I have a fenced in yard with 1/2 and acre of room for your dog/dogs to play and get their energy out. They will be staying in our downstairs living room that has plenty of room and 2 couches for lounging/sleeping.

“Jihting was excellent. Met her & family, including Cupcake, beforehand & she was very understanding of our needs, ensured we knew who would be around, that there would be water, playtime, etc. Would recommend & will use again for Ollie's daycare needs.”


About: I ONLY TAKE ONE PET AT A TIME SO THEY GET 100% OF MY ATTENTION & LOVE 24/7. I've had critters to love and care for since I can remember - all kinds: dogs, cats, a pony, ducks, chickens, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs and fish. Animals have always been a very important part of my life. I worked for a vet for several years, was on the Board of my local SPCA and have rescued 3 dogs and a cat as part of our family in the past 15 years. Now our empty nest home is pretty quiet but I am always ready to love some more! I started pet sitting for friends and discovered how fulfilling it can be, so I am more than ready to care for your fur baby too. I am at home full time now and have the whole day to tailor to the needs of the critters I care for, so even special needs are not usually a problem. I am an avid photographer and will happily send photo updates regularly. OH, and I go by LOLLY (a nickname since I was a toddler). I have a large fenced yard for off-leash, supervised play time and live in a forest with acres of trails for leashed walks. I have one cat at home and aim to board only ONE DOG AT A TIME (or two if they are housemates already). Your pet will stay inside my home which is a peaceful and safe environment, no small children, quiet neighbours and a husband who loves to give free belly rubs! Home 24/7 so am able to be with your pet all day and night which is especially important for little ones who aren't used to being away from home. We have a large fully fenced and large back yard in a forest-like setting and miles of trails for leash walks. Also a smaller fenced area within the larger fenced yard for late night or early morning relief. Your pet will never be outside without me.

About: I work with a wide range of animals including reptiles, birds, and exotics. I have 5 years experience as a dog trainer. I worked for county parks caring for ambassador animals. I have veterinary experience of applying and administration of medications. I have 5 years of experience caring for senior or disabled pets as well. Im home all day and can care for animals of all abilities. I have plenty of time for training, applying medications, and enrichment for your fur baby I have a friendly dog they can play with. We do lots of walks and trips to the park. We have extra rooms for anyone who needs a quiet space to relax.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was very little. I’ve never not had an animal for every year I’ve been alive. We have a toddler who has the utmost respect and boundaries with animals. We have two fur babies at home now. We can’t wait to love your fur baby like you do! I work remotely all week! We are able to take as many bathroom breaks and food breaks your baby needs. Your babies needs come first. Our furry friends are family too. Family sits on the couch and cuddles. We have the patience, love, and understanding every creature needs. A fenced in back yard to add!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. Currently I have 3 dogs and 3 cats. I’m extremely experienced with them and small animals aswell. I work from home so I have complete open availability! I accept same day bookings and long stays or even just taking them on walks and doing drop ins. While I live in an apartment there is a dog park and fenced in area specifically for the dogs. I also have extra beds , blankets , toys , food and water bowls , I’m of course home with them the entire time and with them the entire time, I always keep my eyes on them. It’s a very quiet environment and while I do have another dog she is extremely friendly and very welcoming.

Maggie is a 2 year old lab mix and is very active. Chris always takes the time to play with her and take her on long walks. She is a picky eater and he takes the time to coax her into eating when she’s being finicky. During one of the weeks she was with him, she was on an oral medication and there were no issues.

Josephine G.

“We are writing this letter of recommendation for Josephine, known to us as Lolly. Lolly was referred to us by a friend to help us when we were heading out of town and needed help with our dog Nico. Lolly was wonderful and came over to our home prior to her stay to meet us and our dog. She was great/friendly/positive and it felt like we had known her for years. After a brief meeting with us and our dog we knew that she would be a great fit. Lolly is by far the BEST dog sitter we have found. Why, you might ask… She does exactly what she says she will do and then so much more. She takes pictures and sends you a text of your pet with a nice note. This is our favorite part and makes you feel great when you are away. Lolly's professional demeanor is impressive. She is dependable, compassionate and responsible, she gives you so much more than promised. She treats your pet like they were hers and that is obvious in how they respond to her. You can tell that this is not a job or chore for Lolly but a passion. We couldn’t be more confident in referring Lolly to anyone that needs help with their pets. We know you will feel the same way. In short, we highly recommend Lolly for a pet/house sit. Thank you, Patricia and Rudi Gieringer, Devonshire, Bermuda”


Owen R.
“They were able to watch my cat for a week at a last minute request. he has epilepsy and needs medication given to him every day. they made sure to give him his meds in a treat every morning and let me know when he had them. They updated me with pictures of him cuddling and playing. He was happy there and that made me happy on my trip.”


Jessica & Patrick H.
“Jessica is great! With two pitbulls of her own, she truly understands every aspect of caring for a pet! From elderly dogs to puppies, she can handle any age of dogs and any accommodations they require. I will always rely on her for my dog care needs.”
