Dog Walking In Over-The-Rhine

“I struck gold with Heather. She came to the rescue over the holidays and was the first person to walk my Zeke dog without a prior meeting. Heather is trustworthy, reliable and communicative. She has become a staple as a sub on my guy’s care team. Her upbeat personality brings joy to Zeke with each interaction. Heather has an authentic connection with the animal kingdom and I’m happy for those reading this to have found her!”

About: I grew up with five cats and one dog, and have helped pet sit friends’ dogs. I am very comfortable playing, feeding, going on walks, cleaning litter boxes, etc. I now have my own tripod cat as well, so I have also learned a lot about caring for pets with different needs! I will be working part time, and not taking classes this summer semester. So I will have plenty of time to stop by throughout the week. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and stick to their usual routine. I am very careful on checking that doors, gates, and leashes are secure. I follow all instructions closely and keep owners regularly updated!

About: I've had animals all my life including cats, dogs, fish, and lizards. I was responsible for them at an early age and now, I have raised my cat and dog on my own to be responsible members of society. Hello! I am currently a 3rd Grade ELA teacher here in Cincinnati. I’ve had animals all my life and would love to take care of yours when you are not available. Right now my openings are only on the weekends, but that will soon change during the summertime! I have three floors for pets to explore, a fenced in patio, and I live near three parks that dogs could take advantage of frequently.

“Bear loved Alison! He wouldn't go on walks at first but she worked with him and now he looks forward to his walks every day! I would definitely use her again.”

About: Growing up we always had dogs and cats, and I’ve been caring for my own dog and cat for the past four years. Also, my dog is a rescue who deals with anxiety. With that said, I have experience with dogs with anxiety, and am more than happy to provide extra love, affection, and gentleness for pets with anxiety. I can also administer some medications if needed. I’m also more than happy to clean any litter boxes and provide all the love and playtimes for the kitties out there! I currently only work a part time job, so I have lots of time to be of service to you and your animals! I also work in theatre, and have some rehearsals in the evenings. With that said I’m available before 5pm every day, and some days beyond that Due to my own dog’s anxiety and the smaller size of my home, I don’t offer boarding services. However, I’m more than happy to provide drop in services and walking services for anyone in the Cincinnati and surrounding areas!

About: I have spent over 4 years volunteering at animal shelters with both dogs and cats. I have also grown up with both dogs and cats - primarily small breeds. At the shelter I specialize in dogs, and have worked with breeds ranging from Cane Corsos to Toy Poodles. I like to both play and relax with dogs, and enjoy dog walking as part of an active lifestyle. I work full time, but WFH 3 days a week. The weekends are when I am most free, and prefer afternoons/evenings. I can be flexible if you reach our! I will check on your pet(s)' food and water supply in addition to making sure they use the facilities. I enjoy brushing pets as well!

“Elliott is a wonderful dog walker! My dog loves her and she took great care of him! I recommend her highly!”

About: Hello! I recently relocated back home to Cincinnati after completing graduate school in Boston. I love animals, they are such gems and have been a Rover sitter for over 8 years. I have a cat named Cosmo and my family owned a German shepherd for 14 years. I am open to helping out with all types of animals, I love cats and dogs! I am very caring, calm, and patient and will make sure your pets feel well loved throughout our time together. I love cuddling, walking, and playing with animals -just being in their company and following their lead. Trustworthiness, attentiveness, and compassion are very important to me and I will guarantee quality care. I have some flexibility during the week with my schedule, which includes some day time availability on certain days. I will do my best to form a bond with your pet and make them as comfortable as possible. Can’t wait to meet your buddies!! I have availability during the weekdays (usually mornings and evenings work well, afternoons on some days) and weekends! I can generally make it work to fit your pets schedule. I love to hear from the owner about the animals typical schedule/routine and keep them as close to that as possible. Pet and owners living space safety and maintenance is very important to me. I pride myself on my observant nature, attention to detail, and trustworthiness. I am also a plant enthusiast and can help with home care tasks.

“Sydney did a great job taking care of our dog. She’s a bit nervous with new people and Sydney was very patient and caring. Highly recommend.”

About: As a college athlete, I’m responsible, dependable, and active. I provide personalized care for every pet, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I work 3 times a week as a bartender and server at a golf club and get my schedule every Saturday for the week! I also play volleyball the University of Cincinnati and am done at 11am everyday! I love walking and would be open to anytime after 11! “I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, and receive any medications or special care instructions as needed. I also keep the home clean and provide regular updates and photos. My goal is to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away.

“Corey is an excellent dog walker. My dog really enjoys being with him. He's assertive while also being gentle with my dog, which means he follows dog care instructions. He gives great updates about the walk. I'd strongly recommend Corey to my friends.”

About: I am a cat owner and have several years of experience volunteering at an animal shelter spending time with dogs and cats while caring for them. I am off of work for the summer and have open availability for new clients. I am open to one-time and repeated visits both during the week, weekends, and holidays. I am looking for dog walking and drop-in visits. I follow the client's instructions and will contact the client with any questions. I love to play with animals and make sure that there needs are met.

“This was our second walk with Tess and we are excited to already have future dates booked with her! We really appreciate Tess’s communication, promptness, and genuine care for our gentle giant of a dog.”

About: Hi! My name is Claire, and I’m someone who has always had dogs growing up — they’ve been a huge part of my life. Now that I’m in school, I really miss having a dog of my own, but I know I don’t currently have the time to fully raise one. That’s actually what drew me to Rover: I get to spend time caring for and loving dogs while also helping owners in my community feel confident their pets are in good hands. I genuinely love dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I take caring for them seriously. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them attention and comfort, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Being in school has taught me how to manage my time responsibly, and pet care is something I truly enjoy rather than see as a chore. I would love the opportunity to help care for your dog (or cat!) and give them the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine because I’m currently in school and have a flexible schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting during weekdays and weekends, and I make sure pets receive consistent attention, playtime, and care throughout the day! I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I carefully follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions, keep environments clean and secure, and make sure each pet feels calm, loved, and well cared for.
