“Lori took excellent care of our furry kids!!! The house looked great when we returned and 3 cats can make a mess!! I would hire her again with no reservations at all! Thanks Lori!”


“Bradley was fantastic with our dogs. Extremely reliable and responsive throughout our time away. Our dogs can be picky with people, but his calm and comforting confidence around them was perfect. Highly recommend his services. We will be using Bradley for future services!”


“This was our first time using this service. Amanda came over, met our pups and even though one of them can be a little difficult she was able to care for them and our dogs did very well with her. Would recommend to anybody”


“Cassie took such good care of our two dogs while we were out of town and even through power outages over the weekend she still came and took care of them in the dark. Will definitely be booking with her again when needed”


“My beloved terriers are, unfortunately, double trouble, and I've been worried that I'd never find a petsitter willing to deal with them. One is a Jack Russell terrier (enough said!), and the other is some kind of chihuahua mix rescue. The rescue is terrified of everything and everybody; Liesa took special care to build trust and assure my rescue that she was safe. My rescue also refuses to walk in wet grass, and it rained the whole time I was away! When it rains, she holds her urine and does her business on the sly on a throw rug. Liesa dealt with the situation beautifully, changing out soiled rugs with clean ones at each visit. I couldn't be more pleased!”


“Haley was great with our very old cat. The cat is spicy to strangers and needs pills so she’s not the easiest customer but Haley handled well and was very communicative every day. Would definitely rebook!”


“Erin is a Punctual ,Comunicative person.She was carefully listening to what needs to be done. My dog enjoyed her time with her. When Erin left the house my dog was behind the door crying for a while. They had a good time. The picture she took from my dog isabsolute beauty whch shows she cares for what she is doung not just a simple picture and my furry baby has her besutiful smile showing that she has ultimate happiness. Thank you Erin.Cannot wait to have you again.”


“Britany was wonderful. She was available very last minute and took good care of our 3 cats and was even willing to feed a community cat that shows up. We would hire her again if needed.”


“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!!!”


“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!”



“Lauren was amazing with all three of our dogs! Don’t even look for another sitter, book. Her. Now! We absolutely found our go-to for when we’re out of town. Thank you so much for taking care of our babies like we would!”


“We have always used someone we knew to watch our dogs but didn’t have that option on our last trip and therefore looked on rover for someone to watch our two dogs. Joy did a meet and greet with use a week before our trip and we fell in love with her! Our fears of hiring someone we didn’t know instantly went away and we just knew she was the right fit for our family. Then she actually watched our dogs and she blew our expectations out of the water! Such attention to detail! Our puppy can be a little much and she handled it like a pro! From always being on time, to a walk every day to cleaning up messes, picking up dog poop in the back yard and fixing a pillow that got ripped up. She definitely went above and beyond what we expected and you better believe we will tell everyone with pets in the area to hire Joy! Thanks Joy for treating our babies like your own!”


“Abby is one of a kind! Our usual sitter was unavailable due to the holiday and we had to find someone last minute (I may have procrastinated a bit). Abby was more than willing to do so and was amazing at it! On time, great care of all pets and even filled out humidifier when it was running low! We will definitely recommend and be using Abby again!”


“Monroe has been great with checking on our cats! She always writes a great summary of each visit, and takes precious photos! We feel so confident that our cats are getting so much love when she comes to visit :) we are grateful for Monroe, and will definitely ask to book with her for our future travels!!”


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 been around dogs my entire life. I’ve spent a couple years volunteering at animal shelter, where I was required to learn how to work with many different personalities. I’m very knowledgeable when it comes to reading dogs body language and figuring out their needs. I fed, walked, and played with many pups. I have 10 years of experience, taking care dogs. Neighbor, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I’ll enjoy taking your pup on long walks and hikes, basically anywhere dogs are allowed. I am very passionate about our furry friends and treat them with love and compassion, I will love your pup like it were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule so I can work from home if I need to. I normally do potty breaks every 4 hours. I also have a schedule of feeding twice a day but if you prefer a specific schedule let me know. Teddy is a friendly pup and will keep your dog entertained. I normally don’t crate dogs unless it is necessary. If you prefer your dog being crated or is being trained let me know. Your dog will be loved and cared for.

About: Hi! I’m Isabella. I am 21 years old and a University of Dayton student studying law. On top of that, I am a lifelong dog lover and experienced handler. I grew up in a house with five dogs and have been surrounded by animals ever since. Most recently, I worked as a dog handler at Flyer’s Paw Zone, where I managed group dog behavior in a busy daycare setting. I’m trained in reading canine body language, quickly de-escalating conflicts, and recognizing signs of stress. I also regularly walked dogs of all sizes and energy levels during my time at Flyer’s Paw Zone. Whether you need a regular dog walker, or someone to pop in while you’re away, I will be there. As a college student, I have flexible availability and can easily adapt to your dogs specific needs/schedule. I am also available to do overnight dog sitting. I currently have a very flexible availability due to being in undergrad. Please contact me and we can set something up that works for the both of us. At the moment, I own two cats. My three dogs are at home with my mom. I regularly walk and take care of all three of them when I go visit my mom.
