About: I’ve helped out with family pets my entire life (dogs, cats fish, guinea pigs, birds, rats) but in my early 20’s rescued a Doberman/blue heeler mix on my own. He is high anxiety and medicated twice daily for epileptic seizures, so medicine is also something I’m comfortable with. I also now have a Maine coon cat who is 10, a 3 yr old shepherd, cane corso, mastiff mix with 3 paws and a 3 yr old golden/ Pyrenees mix. I work daytime hours MWF, so I’m available for drop ins before and/or after work on those days. On T/TH, I’m available for drop ins or walks during the morning and afternoons :) For the care and safety of both the clients pets and my own, I would prefer to care for clients pets in their own homes.
About: I have a Shih Tzu of my own, so I understand the daily care, attention, and love that dogs need. I am a responsible, patient, and caring person who enjoys spending time with dogs. I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, fresh water, and plenty of affection. I will treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give dogs the time and attention they deserve. I make sure they get regular walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of affection. I will always do my best to follow each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and happy. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment where dogs will receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I have my own Shih Tzu, so I understand the importance of keeping dogs safe and comfortable. My apartment is close to two parks, including a dog water park, where I can take dogs for walks and playtime with the owner’s permission. I will always follow your pet’s routine and make their safety my top priority.
“Sarah was very caring and patient with our corso. Sadly, he suffered from severe separation anxiety and would not walk; but she stayed with him for the duration, took him out to the yard, played with him, brought him in after the 30 minutes, filled the water bowls upstairs and downstairs for him and showed him a lot of love. She also kept in contact with us to let us know how he was doing and shared photographs. We will definitely utilize her services again.”

“This was our first time with Nikka and she was everything and more that we could have hoped for!!! Her kind and professional manner was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! Pics and clear communication made us feel so comfy that we already booked her 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.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with pets and even adopted my own dog in college. I bring years of hands-on experience and genuine care to every pet I look after. I’m currently available most days of the week and would be happy to find a schedule that works best for your dog’s routine, comfort, and care. I am a part-time student and will be starting classes this fall, so I’ll be unavailable on Tuesdays from 10:00 AM–2:30 PM and Thursdays from 10:00 AM– 4:30 PM. Outside of those class hours, my schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to coordinate a time that works best for both you and your pup. I treat every pet like my own. I love taking the time to get to know each animal, understand their personality, and learn what activities they enjoy the most.

About: For my entire life, I have grown up with a dog in my family home. I have experienced first hand how to care for a 2 month old puppy and a 13 year old senior dog. Since the age of 16, I have also watched family friends dogs, either doing overnight stays or routinely check-ins with the dogs. As a graduate student, I have classes on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. On those days, your pup may be home for a few hours while I’m in class, but I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and potty breaks before I leave and as soon as I return. Outside of my class schedule, I have a flexible routine and spend most of my time at home, so I’ll be able to provide lots of companionship, playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow all of your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any other special care your pet needs. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel the most comfortable. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I love cleaning and doing daily chores, so that will never be a problem for me! I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. My priority is making sure both you and your pet have peace of mind.
About: Grew up with dogs. Haven’t had as many dogs as cats as they required more attention than cats and Rover didn’t exist when I was younger. I had 3 dogs in my young adult life over the course of 30 years. Currently we have a 9 year old pittie rescue and she is well cared for. I’m recently retired so my schedule is very flexible. Rover has made it possible for us to travel with peace of mind that our pets would be cared for. So I figured it would be a good fit as a retirement job and now I can give others the same peace of mind. The retired lifestyle has left me very flexible for going to people’s homes to help with their cat and dog maintenance while they travel. Currently not looking to offer in home services.

About: My family has had dogs since before I was born! I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and know how to take care of fur babies of all ages :) Almost four years ago I adopted my first cat. Fast forward to today, I am now a mother of two orange special needs kitties. They are my world 🌎 ❤️🐾 I currently work part time and go to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On school days, class starts at 9 and I will have an hour and a half between classes to let a pet out to go to the bathroom, feed them, or give them medication. Then I have another class from 1-3. After that, I will be totally free to assist any pets. I also work part time 3-4 days when I do not have school. These are usually 6-8 hour shifts, but I can adjust feedings/walking/medication administration around these times. And when in doubt, I have several well regarded Rover friends that are willing to help out on my longer shifts, with client approval. :-) I have space to keep a crate for overnight visits and live in an apartment complex with some green space to walk and explore. I am also only a few minutes away from five different parks, so lots of options to check out. I have two cats that are dog friendly, but can be separated if the dog is not cat friendly !
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have a cat and a 3 year old pit/cattle dog mix. I have owned multiple dogs over the years, including reactive dogs, which gave me hands on experience with different personalities, behaviors, and needs. I worked closely with a professional trainer in the past and gained a lot of confidence in handling and understanding dogs of all kinds. Because my entire family has dogs, I’m constantly around animals and genuinely love spending time caring for them. I understand that every pet is different and that some are energetic and social, while others need patience, structure, and a calm approach. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or just having a comforting presence around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away! I currently work full time Monday-Friday from 7-4, however I am fully remote and my job is relatively flexible. Working from home makes life easy as I can take time on my lunch break to do a quick walk or drop in with your fur babies. I’m also available before 7am and after 4pm on weekdays and available on the weekends. I do get bank holidays off and a decent amount of PTO which allows even more flexibility 🙂 While I’d love to welcome every pet into my home, I have a reactive dog of my own, so I currently only offer care in clients’ homes through drop ins, walks, and house sitting. The safety and comfort of your pets and mine will always come first 💕
About: I provide attentive, loving care and prioritize your pet's safety and routine, ensuring they feel comfortable and happy while you're away. Your pets wellbeing is my first priority. I am retired now. I'm looking for a fulfilling way to make extra money doing something I love. Why not care for another's pet daily. And please, serious requests only. I can only come to the pet's residence. Since I am a cat owner, I understand that they need to be in their own environment. Also, I'm not sure how my cat would act if I brought your pooch to stay for the day. I have no problem caring for your pet in their own environment.
“My dog chewed up some food left in the Pantry as we are trying to leave him out of the cage more.. she cleaned everything up!! She is awesome. My dog is skittish at first and she was very gentle and slow with him until he warmed up. Thank you again!”

About: I am open and able to care for many different pets with a variety of unique needs. Old or young they will all receive the proper care they deserve and be loved as my own I am free anytime all you have to do is ask. I have a very flexible schedule and am able to adapt to what is necessary I have a fenced in yard and a great area to take walks in. There is a park closeby to my house and it's overall just a great and safe environment.
About: I’ve had dogs since I can remember. I’ve just recently introduced a cat into our dog family and it’s been such a pleasure caring for my babies. I would love to do the same for someone else! I am available at the moment to work any day weekday and weekend, I currently have no restrictions to when I can not do it. I enjoy doing enrichment activities with the animals and playing with them to stimulate their mind. I also like to cuddle with my dogs whenever they want chill time.
About: Hello my name is Mindy. I am currently looking for pet sitting and dog walking jobs in and near Cincinnati. My primary job is mental health therapist, because of the demands of working in the mental health field, I want to be around animals working part time, for my own self-care. Being around animals makes me content and relaxed and I love making animals relaxed and happy as well. I have a lot of experience, especially with dogs and cats, both personally and professionally. I had my own dog for 14 years until she passed away in 2023, now i own two cats. I also have worked in a kennel, i have worked for dog walking companies, and have worked for Wag! I understand how stressful it can be leaving your animals in the hands of others, and this is why I take such good care of others babies :) I would love to help you and your pets whenever you need me! Services And Training: I have experience with walking, over night sitting, feeding, refreshing water, administering medications when needed, and cuddles :) I work part time and make my own schedule, so I have a lot of availability to help you out whether it be walks, check ins, or overnight stays. I will first ask you many questions about safety, behavior, etc before coming into your home to petsit. I do not currently accept animals at my own home, because I have cats and no fences yard. Any wishes of the owner I will do my best to accommodate.
About: 🍒 At 17 years old, I became a Pet Care Technician at Red Dog Pet Resort and Spa, where I received training on essential dog care of differing breeds, sizes, and behavioral circumstances. 🍒 At 22 years old, I learned how to administer shots to my senior cat with cancer, developing critical care skills for this delicate age. 🍒 Having taken a certified dog food nutrition course, I'm aware of how to treat upset stomach, navigate allergies, and have knowledge of what foods and plants to keep away from pups/kitties. 🍒 I work from home full time as a digital illustrator, therefore I have oodles of puppy or kitty play time at my fingertips 24/7! 🥳 🌸 Pups are under 24/7 monitoring, be that chilling with us indoors, or while getting out the zoomies in the backyard! 🌸 12 minutes away from PetVet 365 Urgent Care 🌸 Provides bone holders to prevent hazardous swallowing 🌸 All day access to backyard, in and out as the pup pleases!
About: I have had dogs all my life a total of 8 so far. I currently have a Bichon (puppy) and a rescue Husky. I love dogs and being around them and have always been an animal lover. My dogs are my "children/babies". I treat all dogs as individuals the same as I do people each one is unique and different. I love to have cuddle time with my Bichon and play time with my Husky. I trained my first Bichon ( who passed away at age 17 in ?Feb of 2022) to be a therapy dog and he was a certified and working. He worked for Hospice of Cincinnati and Drake Center. I am currently working with Husky with her training so she can eventually become a therapy dog. I also love camping with my dogs as well as going for walks at the park with them and taking them for some doggie play time at a dog park. I now have a Bichon puppy who loves all dogs big and small I am hoping to eventually make her a therapy dog. I am home full time to give your pup all the love and spoiling they can want. I live with my om and brother so tehri sir always somebody home. Your fur baby will have plenty of room in my large fenced in yard to run and play. I have 2 friendly dogs of my own who they can run and play with.
About: I’ve had animals in my home since I was born! Currently I have a dog and two cats of my own. I’ve been around and cared for animals of all sizes and breeds. I have a cat now that needs to take oral medication daily so I have experience there, and work from home so I’m fairly flexible on how I can care for your babies while you are away! I work from home, and at a restaurant on the weekends. So my availability is very flexible. I take my dog out every few hours to walk and smell around the neighborhood. I’m very active so if you have an active pet that’s great! But I can also take it slow if that’s what your senior baby needs. My dog is always leashes when outside for her safety as I do not have a fenced in yard. We walk on the sidewalks and always look out for traffic and other dogs!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Northbrook. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Northbrook.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northbrook. On Rover:
- 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
