About: I have been in the animal care business for the last 10 years. I personally have a very loved dog that I have cared for, for the last 11 years. On top of caring for my family’s pets over the last 16 years. I work full-time with several days working from home. I know how important an animals schedule is and would do everything to maintain that so the pet’s routine is not affected. My dog and kitten get everything the want and everything I think they need 🤣. Leaving your animal in the trust of me would guarantee that the things you want done for your family are completed. These can include walks, playing with certain toys, or the use of certain leashes or collars.

About: My husband and I have both been caring for dogs in one capacity or another since we were kids. We both come from families with dogs, love them ourselves, and have provided regular childcare with dogs in the home. We recently crossed the bridge in to overnight pet care and have found our experience with dogs to be most welcoming and enjoyable. We are both excellent with understanding and respecting individual personalities of animals and will always make our greatest effort to connect authentically. We both tend to be the people in a room that animals enjoying being near. We are Cincinnati-based nomads who run our own online business. As such, we create our own schedule and can almost always find time for other obligations and needs. We respect the requirements and expectations of the individual home(s) we are in. We are extremely flexible and can fit in to whatever routine is comfortable and expected for the household.

About: I’ve been a pet sitter since I was 15. I am now 30 and while I am a part time nanny by day I love looking after animals in my free time! I have experience with many animals of many ages.

I am available every evening and every weekend including overnights! I do have three dogs in my home so I would be more comfortable at your home. I love them very much they can just be a bit hyper for other dogs!

“We had Mana house sit for us and watch our 2 dogs! First time we’ve used Rover for house sitting, so we were a little nervous, but Mana did a fantastic job! She took care of our dogs and watched over our house. We highly recommend Mana and will definitely hire her again next time we leave town!! Our dogs were well taken care of!”


About: Hi, I’m Angel! Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I can’t imagine a home without them. I have two cats - Sasha, a gentle fluffball, and Bane, a clever foodie with a playful streak. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and personalities, from energetic puppies to shy senior cats. When you’re away, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for just as if they were my own. Whether that means daily walks, play sessions, cuddle time, or just keeping them company, I adapt to their needs and your routine. Your pets’ happiness and well-being will always be my top priority. I’m a college student in Dayton, and I make time between classes to care for pets. I’m available on Sundays, Saturdays, Thursdays, and Tuesday evenings for walks, drop-ins, or playtime. Whether it’s feeding, exercise, or cuddles, I’m happy to fit pet care into my weekly routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of attention and exercise. I’m happy to handle walks, litter box cleaning, or any special instructions you have. I also give extra love and reassurance so they feel safe and cared for while you’re away.

Feel free to reach out with more details. I am always willing to send pictures and updates during visits. I will ensure your home is secure by double checking locks, keep curtains closed, etc. Whatever is needed to make you feel at ease I am happy to do.

“Sydney was an amazing sitter!! Our dogs are quite difficult to deal with and Sydney took it all in stride. Our smallest dog even escaped our yard (totally not Sydney's fault, he is just a difficult dog) and Sydney stayed on the phone with us until he was safely home. I highly recommend Sydney!”


About: I have a rich 15+ year history of caring for dogs and cats. My experience includes over-night pet sitting, dog walking as needed throughout the day, administration of medications and insulin, and attention to special needs as required. I enjoy caring for puppies, adult dogs, elderly dogs, and dogs with disabilities. No dog is too small or large! Additionally, I have spent a lot of time volunteering at animal shelters where I walked/trained dogs and facilitated the adoption process. Happy to provide updates and check-ins throughout the day upon request. I do Rover full time so I am available as needed in order to ensure your animals are well taken care of while you are away. I always schedule my days in a way that would most benefit your dogs or cats. I care for pets the same as I would care for my own, with kindness, patience, and enthusiasm. I have experience working with shy or skittish animals so I will always be happy to meet them in the middle where they are comfortable. I hold the trust of my clients with the upmost respect. I would never do anything to jeopardize this trust. I have references available upon request!

“Julie is a gem! She related well to our dog and presented herself well to us. She kept us up to date with texts and pictures. She kept the house clean. She followed all the directions for administering meds and feeding on schedule. I would recommend her without hesitation!”


“Elise was awesome! So considerate of my dogs and home! She did in home sitting for us! Highly recommend her! We got photos and updates every day! Such a relief to know they were in good hands!”


About: I think it’s very important that dogs get their daily exercise! It’s always a bonus for treats. They need their playtime and I ensure they are happy! I would like the flexibility to be able to care for dogs after my full time job Monday through Friday. Mostly evenings will be beneficial for me. I think dogs deserve to be loved and shown attention! I ensure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t eat and that they are shown affection as well.

About: I’ve had pets growing up, mostly cats, but I had dogs and we trained them and took really good care of them. I took care of feeding them, my brother walked them and my mom cleaned.

I love animals and understand the struggles of everyday trying to make sure you get home to take care of them. With my dog, I feed him, my brother walks him and my mom cleans him. It is more of a team effort, although I can do all 3.

About: I have three dogs and a cat myself, and I have watched countless other peoples dogs as well. I work as a veterinary assistant at an emergency hospital, and I’m going to school to become a veterinary technician.
