“Britany was an amazing pet sitter. She came to our home twice a day for over a week. We have three kittens all under 1 year so there were some special instructions about feeding and keeping them apart at times. Britany went above and beyond to make sure all our cats had the care and attention they needed while we were gone. She gave detailed updates as well as included numerous photos after each scheduled visit. Once you meet her you know she has the biggest heart! We need to go out of town soon and plan to book Britany again!”
“Joanna has been an amazing addition to our lil family knowing we can leave and our babies will be taken care of just as we would treat them. It’s been nice while on vacation not worrying about our babies.”
“She was amazing! Ivy can be a little bratty, but Emma was awesome and got her to warm up quickly! Will definitely rebook with her!!! Always prompt, kind, and caring!!!”
“Lauren was amazing! Our little dog is cautious of strangers and she was super patient. She was very responsive and took great care of our pets! We’d definitely use her again!”
“We booked Leesa last minute to check in on our dogs so that we could go away for an overnight trip. We haven’t used a sitter outside of our family in a long time, but we’re happy to say that our boys have a new friend! We will definitely be booking Leesa for future trips!”
“It was really great to have Abby drop by to look after my kitties while I was away for my wedding during the holidays. I could be free of worries during my time away knowing they were in good hands.”
About: I love dogs! I take them on walks, day trips, and I do week-long stays. I’ve cared for multiple dogs at once, including a variety of breeds and ages. I have a little special talent of teaching dogs new tricks! Growing up I have always been told I have a genuine bond for all dogs. Whether it’s a fun walk or a relaxing day, I ensure they’re happy and well cared for. As a college student home for the summer, I have plenty of time on my hands to care for your pets! I love spending time with animals and can easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and house stays ranging from a couple of nights to even a full week. While there are a few weeks I’ll be out of town, I’m happy to work around those dates and be as flexible as possible to meet your needs! When I care for a client’s pets in their home, I treat them with the same love and attention I would as if they were mine. I follow their daily routine closely, including their feeding, walks, play time, or just sitting with them so they feel safe and comforted. I understand that being away from their family can be stressful, so I do my best to make them feel calm, happy, and loved. I also take care of the home with respect and keep everything clean and in order. I truly enjoy bonding with each pet and always keep the owners updated with cute photos and videos, so they know their pets are in good hands.
“This was my first time using Rover for my 2 dogs and Keira was Great! From my first request to the time she completed the drop in visits she was very professional. She was prompt with responding to me and extremely polite. I appreciated all the communication with updates and pictures. I will definitely ask Keira to help us again in the future.”
About: I love animals and am reliable, patient and attentive to their individual needs - whether they need a feeding schedule, long walks or short frequent walks, or just companionship and care. I grew up with both large and small dog breeds. I also have experience with cats and litter box cleanup. I am a small business owner so I can plan my day around your pets' needs. I only care for 1-2 pets from same family in my home at a time. I can care for your pet in your home or at my home. I can care for crated or uncrated animals. My yard is not fenced so potty time would be on leash in the back yard or your litter box. No other pets or children in the home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in grad school. Mainly took care of medium to large dogs, from puppies to 10+ years old. I have a 1 year old GSP named Miles who keeps me occupied most of the time. I work 7:30-3:30 most days during the week (regular full time job). But my weekends are usually open. I do quite a few different activities to keep my little guy occupied (and I think your pup will like them too). Activities include fetch, running, hiking, some scent work, etc. I have a 7 foot tall vinyl fence that my little guys loves to play in. I also have a medium sized crate and pad to keep your pup in. I mostly keep hard chew toys around and plenty of treats.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from a 15lbs mini golden to a 130lbs mastiff. I love taking long walks no matter the weather (as long the dog is comfortable!) and have experience with senior dogs who require a lot of love and attention, and sometimes lots of medication. If your pet had specific needs, I can certainly make sure they’re taken care of the best way they can be! I have similar experience with cats, caring for teething kittens and senior cats who need extra attention. I love cats, but I understand sometimes they take longer to warm up. I don’t mind just hanging around until they feel comfortable enough to come up to me themselves. My number one priority is making sure your pet is comfortable and cared for. I’m a full time college student who’s lived in the Dayton area my whole life, allowing me to watch pets in the area year round (I’m a rising senior at the University of Dayton). I currently have an online internship, but it’s unpaid and I don’t get a lot of work to do. I have lots of time to devote to taking care of your critters. I’m willing to stay with pets for as long as they need, whether that means overnight or just some company during the day. I’m patient with pets that are wary of strangers; I do what I can to respect their boundaries. I will always wait until they’re comfortable enough to come up to me. I have a dog at home who is very nervous around new people. Because she’s so big we have to be very careful of how we introduce her to people. She’s a high maintenance lady, that’s for sure! But she loves just having company, and I know that many pets just want to have someone to be around.

“Ida couldn't love pets more! I swear any dog she walks past, is drawn to her. I know she takes care of family friends' and friends' pets all the time. She has pet sit for weekends by staying at the home as well as do simple check-ins on animals if they are home alone for too long. Her love and care for animals pour out of her heart like no other. Ida loves and cares for pets of all kinds including cats, birds, reptiles, and especially dogs! She is reliant, kind, and will drop anything to spend time with an animal over a human... I would know. Regardless, I trust and know her to take care of my chocolate lab. She has played, spent time, and watched my doggo when I need the extra help!”

Tyler D.
“Having Ty take care of our sweet girl was such an easy decision. She communicated frequently, did everything we asked, and made sure Ellie (our golden) was more than taken care of. I’m not even sure Ellie wanted to come home when we picked her up. She was happy & healthy. Cannot recommend Ty enough. Her sweet nature makes it easy to trust her.”
Ella W.
“Ella is an excellent pet sitter. They treat my doggy like the princess she is! And they send lots of pictures which is always appreciated. I always miss my baby when I’m away. They aren’t afraid to ask questions if they need to as well. A joy to have! Would hire again”
Oakwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
If you're looking for a consistent, loving caretaker for your babies, Britany is your girl. She's watched our 4 cats numerous times, and we feel so comfortable knowing she's here. Britany spends time playing with, talking to, and getting to know each of our pets. We have been blessed to have her watch our lovies every time we've been gone.
We rebooked Kelly to watch our dogs when we were out of town and she was fantastic as usual. One of our foster dogs can be a little nervous around new people and Kelly was great with her. We got back to dogs who were relaxed and totally normal. It was as if we’d just stepped out for a normal work day! Kelly kept their routines running smoothly. It’s like they barely noticed we were gone! We will definitely book with her again!
Petey was so helpful w my grumpy elder male cat. He cleaned up after him even when he spotted poo markings on a chair, and kept me up to date on how he was doing w his meds, poops (big part of his diabetes and elder cat needs) and spirit :) wish I could use him again in Nola but he'll be moving to OH! Good luck and thanks so much Petey!
