“Melissa was absolutely amazing. She was prompt, CLEARLY concerned that she had all the information she needed to take care of my cats, and flexible about some last minute complications with my plans. Melissa sent me awesome pictures and notes each day, and had my shy, timid boy eating up her affection. I would not hesitate to recommend her.”

“Laura did a great job with our kitties! She even took the time to bring in boxes from our porch. We have an older cat with an unusual no-litter situation which she was very willing to work with. It helped make our vacation less stressful knowing our boys were in good hands!”
“Katrina is going to be a gift to my household! We have four dogs who is variable levels of excitability. She skilled her interactions to the individual dog. Most importantly, she seems to really like my dogs *and* to be reliable.”

“Jessalyn went above and beyond for our 3 pets, but especially our senior Labrador. She just went on a special diet before vacation that we were still figuring out, and Jessalyn made sure she did everything she could to ensure Stella ate and was comfortable. I left very detailed notes, and Jessalyn followed them all. We were impressed because she washed the dog bowls every day and we don't even do that. I highly recommend Jessalyn for your fur babies.”

“Meranda is an absolute GEM! We had an emergency where our pups needed more care. She was ready in less than 30 minutes to watch our pups! She even took them to the dog park!!!! This is the BEST sitter in Cinci! We will book with her again when we visit Cinci next time!!!!”

“Olivia was a great cat sitter! She took great care of our cat, gave him lots of attention and followed all our care requests. We will certainly be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve provided care for pups in the Northside and the surrounding Cincinnati area for the past decade, and I’m excited to meet you and your pal! I’m adaptable, organized, and have a keen attention to detail which helps me individualize my care for each of my Rover clients. Currently pausing boarding services as I’m looking to establish new client relationships for summer of 2026. If you need a routine dog walker or daily check-ins for your pet, I’d love to connect! Growing up, the rescue my family adopted became my best friend! Since he was abandoned, it took years of dedication and persistence for him to grow comfortable with us and thrive. This experience has given me the patience to earn each animals trust on their terms and adjust my care based on their needs. I’m comfortable taking my time and communicating with you throughout the stay to ensure your loved one gets everything they need! I’m confident administering medication, following their routine, and finding new and fun ways to eat up their energy - all to be sure they’re squared away until your return ❤️ *Kindly review the rate of services quoted to you before confirming a booking and please reach out with any questions!* I accept a limited number of bookings each month to ensure quality of care! I work full-time, but can arrange full-time care depending on your family's needs. My partner Curt is also available to assist in potty breaks or additional walks throughout the day for boarding stays - two for the price of one! Care of your house and home is as important to me as the care of your loved ones. I thoroughly clean during and after each house stay. I'm glad to manage care of outdoor gardens and houseplants too! I always take note of special directions to maintain your space while you’re away - just say the word! It’s my hope that each and every one of my clients feels safe and sound leaving their family in my care. We ask that dog clients are fully crate trained and owners provide the crate for the duration of their stay for those interested in boarding services. Many thanks! *A note to cat owners booking boarding: if possible, please arrange to bring your cat’s litter box and a familiar item like their bed/toys during boarding to help them acclimate to our space!*
“Melissa did such an amazing job with our kitties! This is the first time we have ever left them overnight and she made sure to take the time to love them. Couldn’t recommend her more 💜”

“Tabby is absolutely wonderful. My pups and kitty had a lovely time with her. I could tell they were really comfortable while I was gone. She has watched them multiple times at this point and I will definitely be booking her for services again whenever I am headed out of town.”

“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!!”

“Nina did an outstanding job taking care of our bunny. She was very attentive and prompt with messages/updates. She made our first experience with Rover an excellent one, and we will definitely seek her help again in the future.”

“Sandy did an amazing job of taking care of my sweet Senior Lady, Ginger! I had to book a sitter last minute for a trip around the holidays and Sandy readily agreed to help. She was able to come twice a day and spent a good amount of time with Ginger- She played with her, fed her well, and took care of the dishes and trash. This really put my mind at ease since we were traveling for 5 nights. Sandy sent daily pictures and communicated how Ginger was doing. I would highly recommend her for future services! She did a great job taking care of my baby!”

“Sandy is always flexible and willing to book in short notice. Her communication is excellent in making sure you are totally satisfied with her excellent drop in visits. We have asked her to provide visits before and always consider her as a top pick for dogs needs.”


About: I've been caring for animals since high school, casually watching friend's and neighbor's pets. I am a nursing student, so currently I have Thurs-Sun off and can spend all day with your pets. I have two cats, both 5. I play, feed, water, and scoop their litter every day! I have experience with administering medication. We just started leash training them too!! As a cat mom with an extremely rambunctious cat (fittingly named Danger), I understand the importance of adapting a space to a pet. In my home, we are extremely careful to put all trash in cans so that our cats don't eat anything--they love plastic! I make sure that any surfaces she could get on do not have breakable things.
“I am beyond grateful for Alison’s exceptional care of my dog. Not only did they provide all the basics—feeding, walks, and playtime—but they went the extra mile to make sure my dog was safe during a snowstorm. She was incredibly. It was evident that Alison thought about my dog and when above and beyond and truly cares about animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, thank you for your kindness and dedication!”

About: I have loved animals for my entire life— pet therapy is a real thing! Recently I started house and pet sitting and found I loved it because I got to get to know new animals. 💕 I would love the opportunity to get to know yours! I am currently in grad school asynchronously, so it will be no trouble at all for me to come over as often as you need me to! I am also happy to water your plants when you’re gone at no additional cost as well. 😎 I make it a point to know my clients’ animal(s) very well. I am well aware that each animal, whether it is a geriatric cat like my own or a young energetic puppy, has a unique personality and I always accommodate that in my care routine for them. Spending the time with them that they would get with you is key, as well as making sure they get plenty of enrichment. 🐾

“Kayla did an excellent job watching our kitties. She is very caring and even my shy cat came out to greet her! This is our second time using Kayla and we will definitely use her again.”

“Carson did a great job! He was very kind, consistent and communicative- he was even able to cover an extra day for me when my plans shifted! He did a great job keeping my boy taken care of!”

Northside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Absolutely fantastic experience with our pet sitter, Erika. She did an amazing job caring for my two cats, who are usually very wary of new people. By the end of her time with them, one of my cats even let her hold him which is a huge milestone and really shows how patient, calm, and gentle she was with both of them. Erika was very professional throughout, followed all instructions carefully, and always replied quickly, which really helped ease my stress while I was away. I felt completely confident knowing my two cats were in great hands. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

Mimi was WONDERFUL with Enzo. I had not planned on adopting so soon, but fell in love with the little man! I had business travel already scheduled so I needed someone quickly and who would give him a little extra care since he’s new and just a baby. I will definitely book them again to watch him in my home! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Lisa did an AMAZING job watching my senior cat over 9 days. Our regular sitter was out of town, so I was nervous about finding someone new. She exceeded all expectations, including administering two types of medications (that came up at the last minute). She provided excellent, detailed updates that put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend Lisa!!

Too many visits to specifically comment. Carson is communicative, flexible and takes great care of my fur babies. One pup is special needs and Carson is patient with her, does her eye drops and changes her diaper. He has done house sitting also where he gives them their medication including insulin shots. When I return they look well cared for and happy. I feel secure my pups are cared for with Carson.

Jeffrey was amazing with our Bella! Made sure to come out and meet Bella prior to the booked dates and made sure to know everything about Bella that he needed to know. He even taught Bella a new trick! I recommend Jeffrey and will book with him in the future if needed :)
