“Bethany took great care of our boys while we were out of town. She sent updates and pictures multiple times throughout her time dog/house sitting for us. We will def have her watch them again for our future vacations. Highly recommended to take care of your fur babies.”

“Courtney was fantastic with my four and a half month old puppy Nutmeg. She stayed at my home with her and when I came home after a full day out Nutmeg was going back and forth between us for pets, which speaks very highly of how much she liked her. The next day Nutmeg was still tired and sleepy most of the day after having all sorts of adventures with Courtney. We would both happily have her back!”

“Gabby was great with our dog, she took great care of him and our house! The house was spotless on our return, and our normally anxious dog seemed as happy as usual which was a relief for us. She was very quick with communicating, we would definitely have Gabby sit for us again.”

“Katie was an excellent sitter! She took care of Wilson like it was her own dog. She gave daily updates and pictures and made sure he was happy. Highly recommend Katie for any pet sitting needs! We loved having her.”

“Ann has always been great with my girls! She watched them a few years ago and has recently returned to keep them again. We will definitely continue using her! She always communicates and sends pictures often!”

“Excellent Dogsitter-watched our two dogs in our home. Very responsive and sent updates regarding the dogs while we were away. Made sure the dogs got plenty of exercise. Will be a repeat customer!”

“Crista was an amazing pet sitter. She took great care of our animals and was super responsive. We had a late change to our travel plans and she was thankfully able to accommodate us. We will definitely book with her again!”

“Lux was an amazing house and pet sitter for us!!! He sent photos and updates every day and knowing he was in our home put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation. We will definitely ask him to stay here again in the future.”

“Katie was great taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She showed up when she said she would, spent some quality time with him, and sent plenty of pictures and status updates. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”

“Brook was super helpful, picking up a house sitting request on only a few days notice. She made time for a meet and greet before hand and took great care of Lottie.”

“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care Celeste provided for Jack, Tekken, and Princess Buttercup! She went above and beyond in every way. Throughout the weekend, she kept us updated with photos and messages, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. Celeste was professional, attentive, and clearly treated our pets as if they were her own. Jack, Tekken, and Princess Buttercup absolutely loved her, and we could tell they were comfortable and well loved the entire time. We highly recommend Celeste to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and top-notch pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Crystal is able to fit right into Maggie’s routine and Maggie is always excited to see her. This makes us feel so secure. We love that. Crystal Is will of to stay at our home and spend lots of time with Maggie. She is top of our list!”

“There is no one we trust more than Taylor on this app. The most recent time we used her services, our dog Churro unfortunately got sick right before he saw Taylor. She went above and beyond to make sure he is well taken care of during his sickness. He required more supervised care than normal and Taylor was there to help him get better, even though it meant she barely got any sleep a couple of nights. By the time we were able to return from our trip, he was already feeling better. Taylor put my dogs needs above hers and we are extremely grateful for her. Amazing as always and truly going above and beyond what was required.”

About: Hello! I have been caring for dogs since I was young where I grew up on a small rural farm. We have had all different kinds of breeds and sizes of dogs growing up! I love walking, playing, and caring for your animals and hope to help you when you need me! I am currently attending the University of Cincinnati this summer. While having class everyday, I only have a couple classes per day which leaves plenty of time for me to take care of your dogs! I am willing to work with the owners to figure out times that work best for everyone. Weekends will be my best availability for the entire day. I have experience walking all sized dogs and can attest to being successful in caring for other fur babies. I can follow any instructions given for the animal and whatever is needed for your pet!

“Dirk was fantastic. I just got home and both pets were excited, happy, and taken care of. We’ve had issues in the past with sitters but Dirk was communicative and helpful when it came to caring for our pets.”


“Sydney took great care of our Fiona while we were gone. She kept us updated and sent us pictures. She also took really good care of our house and didn’t leave a thing out of place. We will definitely have her dog sit for us again. Our Fiona is already asking for us to go away again so Sydney can come back.”


“Levi was great! My dog, Bella seemed to warm up to him immediately during our meet and greet which helped ease my anxiety as I was leaving the country for 10 days! He was great with communication and I will definitely use Levi again!”

About: Hi! I’m Brianna 😊 If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family (and not just another booking), you’re in the right place. I genuinely love animals of all kinds and personalities — from super playful and energetic to shy cuddle bugs who just want a calm presence. I also provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their own space and keep their normal routine. I know how important that is for keeping them happy and stress-free while you’re away. A typical day with me depends on your pet! For dogs, that could look like walks around the neighborhood, playtime, little adventures, or just hanging out and getting lots of attention from not only me but my 3 kids who LOVE animals of all kinds so your fur baby will be well loved while in my care. For cats, I’m all about interactive play, keeping their routine consistent, and giving them space or cuddles depending on their vibe. I take the time to really get to know each pet — their habits, quirks, and what makes them feel safe and happy. Whether your pet is super social, a little anxious, or somewhere in between, I adjust to them. I also keep you in the loop with updates, photos, and check-ins so you never have to wonder how your baby is doing 🤍 I don’t offer boarding, but when I’m in your home my goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and loved until you’re back. If you have any questions or just want to see if we’re a good fit, feel free to reach out — I’d love to meet you and your pet! Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine! I’m a mom of three, so caring for others comes naturally to me. If your pet is comfortable around children, they’ll get extra love, attention, and gentle affection from my kids as well. We treat every pet like part of the family—making sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. I also spend a lot of time outside myself so I make sure I have dedicated time for walks, play, and check-ins, and I try to be as flexible as possible to work around your schedule. Whether you need early morning visits, have a weird work schedule , need mid-day drop-ins, or evening care, I do my best to be available when you need me. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable and stick to their normal routine. I know being away from their owner can be stressful, so I focus on creating a calm, familiar environment where they feel safe and relaxed. If your dog enjoys being around kids, mine are sweet, respectful, and love helping give extra cuddles and attention. Your pet will be treated like one of our own! I always follow your instructions closely, keep things clean and secure, and make sure your pet is well cared for at all times. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands 🤍
Over-The-Rhine pet parents share their Rover experiences
Our pets have gotten the pleasure of hanging out with Katie a few times now, and they are always so well taken care of. She is very clear and is a great communicator. Katie sends us photos and updates on a daily basis which we always appreciate. Our dogs miss her already!

Claire stayed with my golden retriever puppy, Wilson (who is at times a handful 😂) and was just fabulous! She was so responsive and took care of him and our home perfectly! I am so thankful to have found Claire and look forward to working with her again! Your pet would be lucky to hang out with her! 🥰
