“Imani did a great job house-sitting and watching my cat, Penny! She provided updates everyday and was quick to respond to messages! She left the place spotless and Penny loved her! I would definitely recommend her and will be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“We couldn’t recommend Debbie enough!!!! She was (miraculously) available fairly last minute for our trip and from the word go, she was top notch! Our home and puppy Philomena were so well cared for while we were away. Debbie sent us plenty (but not too many) of snapshots and occasional videos of Phil living her best life while we were away. Thank you Debbie for being Phil’s new friend and we can’t wait to have you back again!. 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, ‘no notes’ as the saying goes. 🥰.”
“Megan and Lee stayed with our pups for an extended timeframe and did a terrific job caring for them. One is a senior dog and the other a needy Velcro dog and we felt very comfortable with the care they provided. We would use them again. They also took care of miscellaneous house stuff that popped up while we were gone. Great communication.”
“Jessica did a great job with our two greyhounds and two cats while we were away. She was responsive and took great care of everyone. We came back to a spotless house and happy pets!”
“Kylie did an awesome job staying with our pups while we were out of town for the weekend. Quick to respond and thorough communication, provided lots of photos and updates. She was fantastic with our almost 16 year old senior dog who wears a diaper and requires more care, and also played fetch in the backyard with our younger dog. She was tidy and left the house spotless. Would book again!”
About: My connection with animals involves compassion, patience and communication. I have experience taking dogs for walks and home sitting with pets for an extended period. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pet care part-time. I’m generally most available on weekends, with additional availability throughout the week. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions and respect the pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks and any other needs they might have.
“Olivia took perfect care of Olli!❤️ Maybe too perfect? I think Olli had second thoughts about coming back to his daddy!🤣 She also introduced us to a new park!❤️ Olli couldn’t be reached for a comment…he’s focused on his ball!🤣”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 10 years, mostly my own (now senior) dogs. I also had a dog who was special needs (partially blind and deaf), and unfortunately passed 3 years ago. I am always open to taking care of your pets! I’m normally the most free every day but Wednesday and do not mind spending the night with your pets! I cannot currently house pets in my own home, but I’m always free to stay at your home! I drive, so only staying for a few hours at a time is also okay. Since I have senior dogs, they often “forget” they went outside, so frequent potty breaks (including in the night) is a must. I also give my dogs medication, so if your pup needs oral medication, I am 100% okay with that.
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!
“Olivia has been incredibly reliable in taking care of my pups. She’s always so great about sending photos will I’m away and making sure everything not only with my babies but with the house is taken care of. Thank you, Olivia for being a great dog and house sitter! We couldn’t do it without you!”
“This was my first time leaving Greta in my house with a sitter from Rover, so I was a little nervous. There was absolutely no need, as Crystal was amazing and surpassed my expectations. I could tell right away that Greta really liked her, and based on the pictures I received, Greta was having a blast and was very well taken care of. I also loved how Crystal cleaned up and kept everything how I’d left it. Much appreciated after coming home from a long travel day! Would absolutely use Crystal again!”
About: I am a Nurse Practitioner with a strong sense of responsibility, attention to detail, and a caring nature. Although I have not owned a dog myself, I have cared for friends’ dogs on several occasions, including feeding, walking, playtime, and following their daily routines. I understand that pets are family members and deserve patience, kindness, and reliable care. My healthcare background has taught me to be observant, organized, and attentive to individual needs. I will carefully follow your instructions, provide a safe and comfortable environment, and keep you updated with photos and messages while your pet is in my care. I am a full-time Nurse Practitioner with a consistent schedule, working 7 days every two weeks. I carefully plan my time to provide reliable and attentive pet care during my available days. I enjoy staying active, spending time with my family, and caring for animals. I have a loving husband and two teenagers, and we live in a quiet, safe community in Mason. I would enjoy providing dogs with walks, companionship, playtime, and a comfortable environment while their families are away. As a healthcare professional, I am responsible, detail-oriented, and attentive to safety. I live in a quiet and safe neighborhood in Mason where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I will carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walking, routines, and special needs. I understand that pets are family members, and I will treat every dog with patience, kindness, and respect while providing regular updates and photos.
About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was younger and all through college, and now I have my own 1.5 year-old golden who is truly my pride and joy. I currently work part-time as a teacher and am available for dog walks after 2 PM on weekdays. I am happy to do check ins or walks! 🐾 I have a fully fenced-in yard with a mini dog park right in my backyard—perfect for safe playtime and zoomies! 🐾 My golden absolutely loves walks and cuddles, and I make sure every pup I care for gets plenty of both. 💛
“Maureen was outstanding. She graciously agreed to watch our dog over a Holiday stretch when we were running out of options, and he was in great hands the whole time. She sent daily photos and updates, and took excellent care of our Scheyer. Looking forward to the next time (as is Scheyer)!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have always loved animals! I've been a pet and house sitter for friends and family for over a decade, and I'll show the same care for your pet and space that you do! I work evenings so I would have availability in the morning and early afternoon. I would also be available for pet care full time on the weekends. I will always make sure your pet gets the full attention and care they deserve! Your home will be left just as clean as I found it, and I will treat it with respect.
“Nina is extraordinary. Her dedication to my dog and her daily photos and messages made leaving my dog in her care much easier than ever. My latest trip was the longest I had ever left my dog in someone’s care and Nina put all my worries to rest. She took excellent care of Delilah and of our home. I couldn’t have asked for more. Even when my return flight was delayed she stayed with Delilah until I finally landed. Nina will now be our regular sitter whenever I travel. She is amazing! Thank you Nina!”
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!
“Andrea was great! Very communicative, she shared many pictures of the pups while we were away and provided a daily recap of everything she did with them. I’d definitely recommend!”

Megan and Lee did an outstanding job sitting with our two goofy girls for a 9 day period. Communication was excellent and timely. They took care of the house as well while we were away and went well beyond our expectations. We’ll definitely use again if they’re available and highly recommend them to others. Thank you Megan and Lee!
Tarani is beyond excellent with our 3 dogs. We feel confident and relaxed when we go out of town knowing she is staying over with them. They have gotten to know her very well, and miss her when she’s gone. Tarani knows how to deal with difficult situations- our one dog forced her way through our fence to escape and join Tarani and our other dog on a walk. Tarani remains calm and gets everyone to safety. Thank you!!! She’s also determined, even though Lucy refuses to go on walks, she still tries daily to see if she has changed her mind; I know one day Lucy will agree to go! 😅 Tarani we are so lucky that you agree to watch our pets. Thank you!
Daniel was great - excellent communication and great with the pups. One of our pups took an instant liking to him and was asking for belly rubs during the meet and greet. We hired him to house sit during our wedding weekend and he even walked the dogs up to our wedding venue so we could take pictures with them on the day.
Joseph was superb and stayed in constant communication with me and took wonderful care of my German Shepherd (Zak). Zak has some anxiety issues and was nippy on Joseph's first day but he worked through it and rapidly gained Zaks trust and affection I will be coming back for sure on my next trip
Our dogs had such a good time with Scott that they were actually sad to see him go when we returned from our trip! I am sure they will be elated next time they see him. Scott is easygoing, communicative, and has our full trust. We're so glad to have found Scott and know our pups are in good hands with him!
Danielle was a FANTASTIC dog sitter. She took wonderful care of our puppy while we were gone. She followed all instructions and went above and beyond by being available for an extra day at the last minute and also by administering ear infection medication for our dog. She was very good about giving us updates and our house somehow looked better after she had stayed here. We plan to use her again for future dog sitting needs and walks. So happy to have found such a wonderful person to watch our pets. Thanks again, Danielle!
I really appreciated the ability to book her at a late notice. Although I was not able to meet her in person, I came home to happy healthy puppies. Pictures would have been nice but I won't doc her for that - handling two energetic puppies is enough and if she experienced what I experience, they do not sit still for pictures.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Montgomery walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Montgomery maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Montgomery choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. 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 .

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
