“Heather was fantastic with my cats! She went the extra mile and took care of my cats as if they were her own. I will absolutely rebook her in the future!”

“Grace is amazing, she shows up and goes the extra mile. Fiona is a shelter dog with a personality and she handled her like a charm 10/10 would highly recommend.”

“Crista was great with our four cats! She accepted our last minute booking request and was very responsive throughout the entire stay. She followed the detailed instructions we gave her and provided updates and photos at each visit. Highly recommend!”

“Tanya did a great job watching my playful cats - loved the daily pictures and updates. One of my kitties is on daily medication, and knowing she was coming helped reduce the stress of my travel. Thanks Tanya!”

“I’m very happy that I found Melissa! She was very gentle and kind with my beloved cat, she spent the entire time of her visit with him, sent me detailed update and cute pictures! Really appreciate her help and for sure will book her service again! Also very pleasant communication with her! Definitely can recommend Melissa!”

“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!”

“Taylor was incredible while we were out of town on vacation. She went above and beyond in caring for our two cats, providing the best Rover Cards I’ve ever received. Her updates were detailed and frequent, and she ensured our cats felt loved and comfortable in our absence. We are excited to book Taylor again in the future, and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable pet sitter.”
“Brianne is absolutely wonderful! She’s quick to respond and took great care of our cats while we were out of town. Her notes and pictures gave us peace of mind while away! Definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for around 17 years and grew up surrounded by both dogs and cats. I trained my German Shepherd puppy to master all her tricks, and when she got older and became incontinent due to her elderly age, I provided hands-on care—changing her diapers, cleaning up after her, and helping her with stairs and jumps she couldn’t manage anymore. It was heartbreaking at times, but she taught me that we have to enjoy every moment with our babies while we can. This close experience with every stage of an animal's life has given me a deep understanding of their unique needs. I’m a firm believer that the world is better with animals, and they deserve nothing but love—because that’s all they have to give us. I know every dog requires different treatment and attention, and every animal is unique. Years of managing multiple large dogs has taught me the valuable skill of diversion. I became great at reading dog behavior and avoiding an issue before it escalates. I’m skilled at tuning into what they need to feel safe, comfortable, and happy. My husband Marcus and I are hardworking, kind, and huge animal lovers with lots of love to give. We both enjoy being outdoors and are happy to stop by your house to give your pet some food, scratchies, and snuggles—or take them out for fresh air, whether that’s throwing a ball at the dog park or taking your older little guy on a slow, senior-friendly stroll. Coming from a large family where everyone has dogs, family gatherings are always lively and full of furry friends. I’m the go-to person for friends and family when they need someone to look after their cats or dogs while they’re away— because they know I'll be equally obsessed and caring with their pet as they are. I take pride in providing loving, responsible care that feels just like home. I’m a professional dancer with a pretty sporadic schedule, but on weekends I’m free and can make almost any time work. On weekdays, you can count on me to be available early mornings and after 6 pm, and I often have breaks during the day—whether it’s a lunch break or another free hour—so I’m happy to stop by for walks, feeding, or some quality pet time whenever needed. Unfortunately, my apartment isn’t suitable for overnight stays, so I’m currently offering only day visits and walks. When I go to a client's house, I make sure doors, windows, and gates are closed and watch out for things pets might get into—like plants, small objects, or foods that aren’t good for them. Hazardous stuff like cleaning products or meds are kept out of reach. I’ll never let a dog off-leash unless it’s in a securely fenced area because I understand how one wrong move can lead to a lost or hurt animal. I usually avoid bringing your pet around other animals unless you’ve told me they’re great with others. I try my best to stick to your pet’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away, quietly keeping an eye out to avoid any accidents or escapes.
“Beth is great with our girls. Her communication is always timely. She’s so sweet and loves our girls like they are her own. Lilly our rescue warmed up to her quickly which is always a great sign!”

“Angel was extremely responsive when setting up the meet and greet and took amazing care of Mr Cat! She sent daily photos and updates and he looked happy and cared for!”

“Johnnisha was wonderful! She was accommodating and flexible with logistical challenges on our end. She took great care of our cat, sending plenty of pictures each day.”
About: I've spent most of my life caring for my own senior dog, so I understand how important patience, routine, and gentle attention are for every pup. From long walks to cozy naps, I make sure every pet gets the same care, comfort, and attention I'd want for my own dog. As a law student who studies from home, I have a schedule that lets me give dogs consistent attention, long walks, and lots of love throughout the day! I am only away from home when I am in class Monday-Thursday until 3:30 pm at the latest. I take my own dog out every six hours or so. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog in someone else's care, so I treat every dog with the same care and attention I give my own senior pup, making sure they are comfortable, secure, and happy in a calm, loving environment.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 7. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their dogs. I also own two dogs a husky and a german shepherd! I would love to take your dogs for long walks and make them play and get their energy out or just a nice stroll! I’m currently a college student athlete and have some free time that I’d love to come and check up on your pets and take them for walks! I’d love to take them for a long walk and get their energy out or just a nice little stroll! I live in a very safe apartment complex with lots of space for dogs to run around! I have two dogs at home a husky and a German Shepherd so I love hanging out around dogs!
“I have no reason to choose another sitter for my guinea pigs at this point. Tess is super responsive and sends lots of pictures when checking on my pets. They seem super comfortable with her and she takes better care of them than some pet hotels I've tried. Will 100% book with her again!”

“Corey is the best! He has been regularly dropping in on my two pups for a few weeks now and they absolutely love him. He is reliable, punctual, and just has a kind and calming presence. He knows and understands dogs well, and that experience shows. I would trust him with my pets any day!”

“Dana has been so awesome with our 8-yr old cat, Momo. Momo was recovering from a surgery and was on a cone, so we’d been worried about leaving her by herself. We trusted her with Dana and we’re so glad we did because Dana has reallllyyyy helped us out (and calmed our separation anxieties too). She is calm and kind, and was great with Momo—she sent us regular, detailed updates and pictures from her visits. Dana was also great about giving Momo her daily medications, food and pets, and she actually did MUCH more than what we had asked of her. Really appreciate Dana and will definitely reach out to her in the future!! Highly recommend her <3 :)”
“Lots of great updates, looked like they had great quality time together! Brought peace of mind to see pics of my kitty having such a fun time when I had to find someone to take care of her at the last minute”

Over-The-Rhine pet parents share their Rover experiences
Megan continues to be the best cat sitter ever. My cat, Mochi, loves her and is excited when she stops by. It’s always good to receive pictures of my cat when I’m on trips. I trust Megan with my little fur baby and would recommend her to anyone else looking for a pet sitter that’s reliable, communicative, and loving!!

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! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Johnnisha was the perfect person to watch our cats. On time with every visit almost down to the minute and always made sure to send plenty of pictures of the cats getting plenty of love. She was very quick with her communication and made us feel at ease the entire time we were gone. Would recommend her services to anyone and will absolutely ask her to watch Rex + Chi Chi whenever we are away from home.

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.
