About: Hi! I’m Lily, and caring for animals is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also worked at a doggy daycare, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I own dogs myself—they’re very docile and love having friends—so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious pups and dogs with special needs. One of my dogs is deaf and responds to sign, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and tuned in to nonverbal communication. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely excited to meet your pets. I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve! I do work 730-330 M-F but my partner (Jeremy) is home by 2:30 PM every day, and we’re both home in the evenings, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and company. We make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs—just let me know what works best for them! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced-in backyard with turf, providing a clean and secure space for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our home is pet-proofed to prevent access to anything unsafe, and we always supervise interactions to ensure a calm and controlled environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at all times.

“We had a wonderful experience with our cat sitter Paige! From the moment we met him, it was clear how much he genuinely loves animals. He took excellent care of both of our cats, including one who requires insulin injections twice a day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. He was communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly kind, keeping us updated and making sure our cats were happy and well cared for. We came home to two relaxed, well-loved kitties. We were so happy with the experience that we’ve already booked him again. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”

“Michelle was great with our pups. She was kind enough to bring in a package outside our door, check their water, and feed them dinner while coming over to let them out. We will definitely be reaching out to her next time we need a dog sitter!”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have experience caring for both cats and dogs for friends and family.I also have experience volunteering at a local Cat Cafe. I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and affection while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I always do my best to follow their normal routines and make them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and happy while in my care! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m happy to coordinate visits around my classes and make time for feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and plenty of attention. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability so you know exactly when your pet will be cared for. I understand how much trust it takes to leave both your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, and any household rules. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and comfort level, whether they want lots of attention and playtime or prefer a little more space. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give my own.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I currently have two cats, two dogs, a gerbil, and fish, so I’m very familiar with the daily responsibilities that come with keeping pets happy and healthy. In addition to caring for my own animals, I’ve house sat for families for weeks at a time and have experience watching multiple large dogs as well as small dogs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, medication reminders, or simply giving your pets plenty of attention, I always treat them like they’re my own. I also work at Promedica Hospital in Toledo with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable care and spend quality time with your pets. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine since I have two dogs, two cats, a gerbil, and fish of my own. I work part time at ProMedica Hospital, and my flexible schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. Whether it’s daily visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight house sitting, I’m able to provide dependable, attentive care and make sure your pets stick to their normal routine while you’re away. I don’t have any other commitments outside of my part-time job. I always care for pets based on their individual needs and stick as closely as possible to their normal routine. In my clients’ homes, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, receive lots of attention, and are kept in a clean, safe environment. I’m happy to go on walks, clean litter boxes, take dogs outside for potty breaks, and give updates so owners know their pets are doing well. When caring for pets, I treat them like they’re my own by being patient, attentive, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their family is away.
“Allan did a great job taking care of my cats! I got pics every day, he played with them, and generally put my mind at ease while I was on vacation! I would recommend him!”

“Hannah did an amazing job taking care of our kitties while we were away for over a week. She had her hands full with several kitties with different needs (including 4 foster kittens!) and took great care of everyone. Hannah sent detailed updates for each visit, cleaned up, and gave the kitties extra love. We would absolutely have Hannah take care of our kitties again!”

“Ashia provide excellent service while checking in on our Cooper. She sent pictures and updates and even helped clean up a small mess of dog food when Cooper decided to move his food bowl to another room 😅 Thank you for taking care of our last minute request and for making sure Cooper was ok in our absence.”

About: I have had both dogs and cats in my life and I currently have 3 cats; Olive, Theo and Addy. I look forward to getting to know your little buddies and forming a relationship that offers the fun and familiarity that matters so much when your people are away. I recently finished my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and am doing some petsitting while I look for a permanent position. I will likely keep doing it in some capacity once I find one, just because I really enjoy meeting new furry friends :) I cannot offer boarding currently, however, I am happy to visit your pets in your home or take them out for a walk. I love to give pets the attention they deserve and form a new friendship with each creature I have the privilege of caring for.
“Celene was an absolute life saver. My dog sitter cancelled a few days before my vacation and I was very worried about not just finding someone, but someone that my dogs would enjoy being with. As soon as I met her and my dogs welcomed her I could tell they were in good hands. She was very informative with her 3 visits a day and sent pictures as well as updated if something seemed off with them or if they were extra happy to see her. I truly appreciate her more than words can explain and I’m so deeply grateful that my fur babies were well taken care of and appreciated. Thank you again Celene.”

“Autumn was great with my two young dogs! She was very communicative and provided pictures and updates. It was wonderful to know that my girls were getting some outside and playtime while I was away for the day. I’ll definitely be reaching out for help with my pups again!! 😊”

About: I have pet sat dogs and cats for family, friends, neighbors, etc. for many years. I have experience with big and small dogs and cats. I volunteered at the Humane Society of Greater Dayton where I walked and spent time and bonded with animals coming from difficult situations. I am strong and can handle larger animals. I am in graduate school for a helping profession as well, so I am very patient and will treat your pets and your home with the upmost respect. I am a graduate student interning full time M-F, however I am available after 4pm on weekdays and I am very flexible on weekends. I have reliable transportation. I keep my home clean and organized, and I plan to treat any home I enter with similar care and respect. It is a privilege to be welcomed into someone’s home.
“Vivien was awesome. I have 3 dogs. One of them is older with anxiety, a puppy and a 3 yr old. All 3 of my dogs loved her. Vivien administered medication to my senior dog. She cleaned up after the puppy and made sure my 3 yr old got plenty of attention. My dogs aren't used to being left alone. But, Vivien took care of everything. I was able to relax while I was on vacation. I would definitely request her service again. Vivien was perfect.”

“Abbi did wonderful with our reluctant elderly dog and went above and beyond for a drop in visit, taking her for a walk and sitting with her for a while as well. She is very responsive and professional!”

“Patrick is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had from Rover! He’s reliable, great at communicating, and great with our dogs (2 corgis under 2 years old). I always have the upmost confidence that my dogs and my home will be well taken care of when Patrick comes to visit.”

“Highly recommend Kayla! I have a 19 week puppy full of energy and Kayla surely gets all his energy out like requested. She doesn’t just let him out to go potty and sits around. She actually plays with him and makes sure he’s running around and spending all his puppy energy. I’m very happy with her services!!!! Used her twice already and will be rebooking for sure.”

Fantastic experience! I needed someone fairly last minute and was very pleased with the services provided. He took good care of my pups and spent time petting and loving on them during visits. My dogs are happy, and I've already rebooked future drop-ins. I highly recommend this sitter!
