About: I've been around animals my whole life from owning them to caring for others animals. Patient, good with senior animals, loves all animals even cats, and flexible with plenty of available hours. I am typically available during college breaks such as summer and holidays. most often available for over night watches but can also do drop in visits and walks!! I house sit and walk your pets from your home so that they are in a safe and familiar environment. I'm detail oriented and will follow any specific guidelines or requests you have for your pets thoroughly.
About: When I was 9 until about 15 I lived in an apartment complex and I would walk all of my neighbors dogs after school and feed them their dinners. I am CPR certified and first aid trained. At my last job we take care of seniors and puppies on a daily basis. I have a senior dog myself. I took care of my grandfathers diabetic dog for 5 years before he passed and gave him his insulin shot daily. I used to administer medication daily to dogs at work and continue to my own. My current job is Lead at Cincinnati Animal Care. I currently work at Cincinnati Animal Care 40 hours a week. However I’m able to work around whatever is needed! If booked in advance I am able to work from home as well! At my home I have a fenced in yard with four playmates who are always ready to have friends over! I also have two kids who love when I bring pets home! If I’m caring for your pet at your home I will follow your instructions and give your pet as much love and care as I can in our time together!
“This is the first time I’ve used a pet sitter instead of boarding my cat Cali as I felt she would be more comfortable in her own home. I came across the Rover website and booked a sitter close to my home. My cat has an automatic feeder for dry food as well as a water fountain. So, the only “services” I needed were to feed her wet food in the evening and clean the litter box. I met with my sitter, Amy, and explained how to access my home, where to dispose of litter etc. Amy did an excellent job and even went above and beyond to try and get a photo of Cali, who hides from strangers. Thai has been a great experience and I will definitely use Rover and Amy again.”


About: I’ve had a dog of my own that I’ve taken care of for 11 years now! In the past I have also taken care of my neighbors cats while they were away. Although I have never taken care of another family’s dogs, they are my favorite animals in this world and I have spent a few years volunteering at dog shelters in the area where I take them on walks, play with them, and help with feeding them. I will be more than happy to help take care of ur pets while you are away and make new furry friends! I am currently unemployed and have a lot of time on my hands to take care of your pets while you are away! However, I am in search of a part time job, but that will still not take too much of my time. I am also totally available on the weekends if it is needed! I have a dog at home who is not too friendly with other dogs, so boarding is not really an option unfortunately. However, I am more than willing to care for your pets in your home and neighborhood! I will be able to crate your dog if need be and if course follow the rules of your house. Your pets will be well fed, walked, played with, and given all of my attention!
About: I grew up with dogs in my home for 24 years. Both puppies and seniors. I love all breeds and sizes. All dogs are adorable! I have my own pup, he has been trained by me and knows a number of tricks. I understand a dogs body language and understand if things need to be taken slow with your fur baby. I will work with aggressive dogs to a certain extent, with an increase in price. I currently work at a dog boarding facility! Book any day, any time (we can always adjust the times in conversation!) I am more than happy to check in and/or walk your loving pup! <3 I am always respectful and thoughtful. Animals are my FAVORITE in the world, they bring me so much happiness each and every day! They’re just so cute 🥹
“My adorable Kitten absolutely loved Alyssa as her caretaker when I was gone for two weeks. I can tell they loved each other and became best of friends right from the start. That means the most, it assures me that my fur baby is happy and safe with Alyssa. She did an amazing job entertaining Kitten and updating me with lots of photos! I will be using Alyssa again in the near future and would highly recommend her for your pets.”

About: I’ve always been around animals and have many years of sitting for family and friends. I have a passion for exercise making our walks the best of the best! I am and occupational therapist working in the school setting so I work within that schedule. However, I do have summers off that I dedicate to exercise and helping family/friends with their pets while they are on vacations! I am dependable and reliable and will be able to give your pets the love and care they need while you are away or at work!
“We had a great experience with our drop-in visits! Communication was excellent, our dog was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. We’d absolutely book again.”

About: Hi, My name is Alex and I would like to be your dog's new walker! Caring for dogs is something I grew up doing both in my family and in my neighborhood. My aunt has a farm and has over 20 dogs and I spent a lot of time helping her run her farm including all forms of animal care. I take the job seriously and am compassionate towards all animals. I have many years of professional dog walking experience including volunteering at a German Shepard Dog Rescue and fostering hard to place dogs and puppies. I will take your pet on long walks if needed or even just stop by to check on them while refilling bowls and applying medications which I have experience doing. My friends often ask me to take care of their pets when they are gone since they know I will do a great job and give the pets lots of attention. I am good at following requirements such as commands, crates, medications, and feeding. I understand each pet is different and needs special and unique treatment which I will be able to provide. I am gentle with a leash while not allowing the dog to venture off into the street or pull towards distractions such as other dogs and squirrels. I'm not doing this only as a way to make money, but because being around animals makes me happy. I'm truly interested in meeting your pets and making sure they get the care they deserve. After taking care of dogs, I feel a true appreciation for the work I'm doing and how I can positively effect these great animals. I know that given the opportunity, I can bring joy to your dogs life and make sure they are home safe and sound. I hope you consider me for every walk you have and that I get to form a special bond with your amazing dog!

“Katelyn was fantastic with our dogs! She graciously accepted our request on very short notice, and came over to meet them before checking in on them later. She gave updates with pictures and made us feel reassured that our dogs were in great hands!”

About: I take my dog on walks all the time!! I’ve dog sat many different times/breeds!! I love taking my dog for long walks in the park! I have Saturday's open in the morning, Mondays, Thursday's, and Friday's open!! I can pretty much do any time during the days listed other than my Saturday's it would need to be anywhere before noon!! I really enjoy keeping my dogs active and making sure they are healthy and happy. I like taking them on walks, playing with them outside, and giving them plenty of time to run around and burn off energy. Staying active helps them stay strong and keeps them from getting bored. I also make sure to take good care of them by feeding them well, giving them lots of love and attention, and making sure they are comfortable and safe. Taking care of my dogs is important to me because they are part of my family, and I want them to live happy and healthy lives. 🐶💛
About: I’ve grown up around dogs. My family used to breed AKC Collie’s, owning 2 collies in total. Once I moved to college, I couldn’t have a collie where I lived so I got a Sheltie. He’s been with me ever since, though his “time” is approaching. (Passed away 4/6/2021) I’ve dog sat for several friends. I teach therefore summers off means a lot of availability for me to care for your dog! I’m no professional but I’m good with training and very patient with dogs. My sheltie was house broken in 6 months and knew all the basic commands. I have so much fun with dogs and have children to play with them too! Dogs must be good with other dogs and with children. I look forward to meeting your dog or dogs! I care a lot about animals! I do offer services year round, however, June through August are my peak times. I teach, therefore September through May are harder for me to care for other’s pets during the week. It can be done, but it is more difficult, as the pets will be cooped up from 7-3:30. I am always available on weekends! I offer discounts for repeat clients. Discount applied after booking. I am a teacher, therefore I primarily take on clients during the summer and on weekends. During the week is not out of question, just know they will be alone (must bring crate due to no supervision) from about 7 until 3/3:30 during the months school is in session. June through mid August, I am home except occasional errands and will be available for frequent potty breaks! I have a fenced in yard for your dog(s) to run around! I do have gentle giant (Great Dane) who loves to play. He can be intimidating, but he’s so sweet and just wants to play. Disclaimer- he drools a lot. I can keep your pet clean, though! I also have a Boston Terrier named Ellie. She is a very special story and although I picked her up as a 6 month old pup in 2012, we have been apart for 10 years and she’s back where she belongs. <3 If I come to your home for services, I am very professional and will be sure to follow your steps completely. I might sometimes need to bring my children with me, depending on the day.
“Abigail took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. She was very attentive, making sure Sancho received his medicine every day without any issue, and kept us updated with messages and photos that gave us peace of mind. Both of our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we came back. We truly appreciate her kindness and dedication, and we would definitely trust her again in the future!”

“Hannah is absolutely INCREDIBLE. She loved on our teething 3 month old Aussie with so much grace. She sends lots of updates which is great for us because we always feel bad leaving her. Thank you Hannah for your patience and time! We will be a repeat customer for sure!”

Every pet needs there own way of being loved and cared for, from times and lengths for walks to what toys they adore!
