Dog Sitting in Reading

“Elizabeth did a fantastic job watching my bunnies. I received pictures of them while I was away along with updates. I will definitely be using her again.”

Melissa H.

“Jay did a great job checking on and feeding our cats. He even got one of the shy ones to come out and visit him.”

Stephanie M.

“Olivia went above and beyond for my 2 cats. They are both shy with strangers but they are very social and get desperately lonely when I leave. I asked Olivia to be patient with them and just sit on the floor the entire half hour even if they’re too shy to come out of hiding for a few days. Not only did she do that, but she even stayed extra long one day in order to win my cats’ trust. By the last couple days, she had my cats asking for scratches and playing fetch with her! It was a huge relief to know that my girls were able to connect with her. I would definitely hire her again.”

“Maria did an excellent job taking care of my dog. I will definitely book her again.”

“Super thankful for Azya checking in on my Ivy while we were out of town. She sent daily photos of her, which was super reassuring, and gave her all the snuggles. She took excellent care & was very communicative. She went above and beyond and I highly recommend her taking care of your fur baby!”

Anna M.

“Exceptional work. Prompt on time and took great care of our cat and dog. I appreciated his willingness to add walks on good weather. Already hired again!”

About: I have always grown up around dogs and have a puppy currently! We take walks everyday and I spend generous amounts of time outside playing. I enjoy being around dogs especially and love to play and give them plenty of love! I currently have a part time job and am a student in college. However, I will have plenty of time for your puppy. I’m available during the week and weekends, but this may vary. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for playing and zoomies! I always enjoy a good walk and make sure pets get lots of exercise, attention, safe, loving environment while in my care.

“Elizabeth was kind and patient with my two little rescues as we transitioned through our new scheduled ! I really loved all the photos. She is helpful and always prompt to respond.”

Shannon R.

“Ashley & Trinity are reliable and super communicative. They were very proactive when one of our cat litter box (automatic) stopped working. We are very thankful to have such reliable cat sitters like thyme that care to do a good job but that you can honestly feel they care for our kitties. They love them.”

Noe R.

“Anna is wonderful! She took such good care of our Charley and was very patient cleaning up the occasional mess. 😊 We felt so comfortable knowing that our girl was in calm, capable, caring hands. Anna was great at communicating with us and we loved seeing updates of their adventures throughout the day. We would definitely hire Anna again!”

About: What sets me apart is my experience and flexibility. I started pet sitting in college and have always loved caring for animals. Now that I work locally with summer hours ending before 5, I’m able to offer reliable drop-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I treat every pet like my own and understand how important consistency and trust are for pet owners Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I work in Hyde Park, so I’m already in the area during the week. On Wednesdays I’m off at 1, Thursdays at 2, and Fridays I’m off all day, which gives me plenty of flexibility. I care for pets like they’re part of the family. My own dogs are definitely spoiled — we have a 10.5-year-old Lab/Collie mix and recently adopted a 1-year-old Chihuahua mix — so I’m used to caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their pet’s normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and comfort to help them feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away

“Katie was great.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I also foster dogs through Cincinnati Animal CARE (CAC), which has given me experience with all kinds of personalities, routines, and needs. My parents own a miniature dachshund (The 2 time Cincinnati Oktoberfest Wiener Dog Champ 🏆), who I raised myself as a puppy during COVID. I lived with cats in college too and learned to love them just as much. Dogs staying with me get the full Barkingham Palace experience! I have a front and backyard, lots of toys and enrichment activities, a tether so they can safely run and play, plus time for plenty of walks and snuggles. I’m always the family/friend go-to for pet care, so I figured I’d finally extend the offer beyond my circle! I work full-time as an assistant commercial property underwriter. I usually get two work from home days but also have super flexible hours so I can work around most schedules! I love all animals. I will follow any and every instruction given. I can walk, crate, cuddle, and/or train your animal(s) whenever you need me to.

About: Hi 💕 My name is Pin-Hsuan, you also can call me Bella! Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals — cats, dogs, fish, birds, hedgehogs, and even hamsters. Caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. Since moving to the U.S., I’ve taken care of my own cats, helped with cat-sitting around UC, and have some fostering experience too. I’m calm, reliable, and very clean. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, walks, or gentle cuddles, I pay attention to each pet’s unique needs and personality. I send daily photo updates so you always know your pet is safe and relaxed. 嗨～你好！💕 我從小就跟各種動物一起長大，像貓、狗、魚、鳥、刺蝟、倉鼠都有照顧過，動物一直都像是我生活的一部分。來美國之後，我一直照顧自己的貓，也有在 UC 附近幫忙過動物寄養和照看，還有寄養的經驗。 我個性很穩、好相處，也超愛乾淨。會盡量讓每一隻毛孩在主人不在時，都能覺得安全、放鬆、被好好照顧。餵食、清貓砂、陪玩、散步、抱抱，我都會根據每隻動物的個性來安排。我也會每天傳送照片讓主人安心！ About my schedule: I’m a musician, so my schedule is flexible between gigs. With a few days of planning, I’m available most of the time — and I can often accept last-minute requests too. 我是一名音樂家，因為演出時間比較彈性，只要提前幾天說，我大部分時間都可以配合，也能接受臨時需求。 For boarding cats overnight at my place I have an entire floor dedicated to kitty guests, with a clean litter box and plenty of places to jump and explore. I have experience giving pets medicine if needed. 我家有一整層是專門給寄宿貓咪的空間，乾淨、舒服，也有地方可以跳、探索、休息。如果需要餵藥我也有經驗。

About: I've been caring for animals for nearly 10 years- cats, guinea pigs, dogs, and other exotics, I've cared for it all! I am also a proud cat mom to 2 cheeky furballs! I work full time 8:30-4:30 Monday through Friday, and my weekends are usually very if not completely free! I typically go on an hour walk every day during the evening (weather permitting) to end my day! When caring for a client's pet I try to keep things simple and stick to whatever their routine is to ensure the furbabes are comfortable and feel safe with a new face popping in and taking care of them.

About: I've shared my life with dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been one of the greatest joys in my life. Growing up, I had a shy Chow Chow and a mischievous Cocker Spaniel named Nigel who kept life interesting. As an adult, I raised a Golden Retriever from puppyhood through his senior years. His favorite daily adventure was racing to the mailbox. I also had the pleasure of caring for an English Mastiff for five years whose personality was every bit as big as he was. Most unexpectedly, I rescued the love of my life on a dreary Friday afternoon at work, and my heart has been firmly claimed by rescue dogs ever since. My experience includes puppies, senior dogs, and pets who need a little extra patience, attention, or specialized care. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I've also cared for multiple cats throughout my life, from energetic kittens to senior companions. I've lived with both short- and long-haired cats, as well as cats ranging from outgoing social butterflies to those who prefer to take their time warming up to new people. I'm on Rover because I genuinely love animals, and I know life gets busy. Whether you're working long hours, traveling, or simply juggling everything life throws your way, your pet still deserves attention, affection, exercise, and consistency. My goal is to be that reliable person you can trust to care for them when you can't be there. I have a flexible schedule and will do my best to accommodate your pet's needs and routine. Whether that's an early morning walk, a midday check-in, evening companionship, or extra visits while you're away, I'm happy to work with you to create a schedule that helps both you and your pet feel comfortable. Whether your pet is looking for a walking buddy, a playmate, a cuddle companion, or simply someone dependable to keep their routine on track, I'll care for them the way I'd want someone to care for my own, with patience, kindness, and lots of love. Pet care is a consistent and flexible part of my weekly routine. I maintain availability throughout the week, including weekends and select holidays, and I structure my schedule to provide calm, attentive, and reliable care. I also do my best to accommodate same-day requests when possible. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and consistent with their normal routines. I am comfortable walking dogs on leash using either a harness or collar, and I also utilize fenced-in yards when available. I follow each pet’s specific care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and behavioral preferences. I am also comfortable with crate training and crating when needed, as I’ve used crates with my own pets. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and maintain a calm, clean, and structured environment so pets feel secure and at ease.

“Siri was a delight to work with. Her own introduction here on Rover is just the beginning. Over a long holiday, Siri’s plan, approach, visits, support for both our cat and dog, communications, consistency, and follow up were impeccable. She put our minds at ease and earned our trust. I’m happy to say that we found someone that we can count on.”

Matt E.

“I came back to very happy healthy cats. The sitter was willing to spend time playing with the kitties and build a bond. I watched through cameras as she took time to visit with the cats and make them comfortable. I watched my kitties get excited to see her every day. The smoothest pet sitting experience to date. Asks questions instead of assuming. Very good quality of a pet sitter.”

“Andrea has been so good to my mini dachshund. My dog is sometimes anxious, stubborn, and can lash out a bit if she is triggered. But Andrea has remained patient and given me frequent updates on her visits. She is great!!”

Elizabeth T.

“Paige was amazing with our pups! Loved the pictures and the updates. Our dogs can be a handful, very loving and playful but a handful, haha. Paige took great care of them, was on time, and did a great job. Definitely book her!”
