About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life, from raising pitbulls to boxers to chihuahuas! I’ve also pet sat for multiple family members and neighbors growing up. I am currently a student at the university of cincinnati, looking to make some extra cash doing things i enjoy! In between classes or overnight stays would be a perfect schedule for me! I only have about 3-4 hours of classes each day. I constantly miss my furry family members back home and would love to put you at ease knowing yours are in good hands. I am open to doing anything from walking to feeding to bathing. Also providing your pet with lots as love as long as they’re open to accepting it!

About: As a rising third-year veterinary student at the University of Illinois, I bring both professional training and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for. Through my veterinary education and hands-on clinical experience, I have worked with animals of many breeds, sizes, ages, energy levels, and temperaments—including shy, anxious, high-energy, and senior pets. My experience has taught me how to safely handle animals, recognize signs of stress or illness, and adapt my approach to each pet’s individual personality and needs. Whether your pet loves playtime and attention or prefers a calmer, quieter environment, I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and have experience with feeding routines, medications, and providing patient, attentive care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone dependable, communicative, and trustworthy, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated so you can feel confident they are in good hands. My schedule is very flexible this summer! I am currently working part-time and participating in some veterinary shadowing experiences, but outside of that I have wide availability for pet care. I am available most weekends and have flexibility throughout the week, especially during mornings and evenings. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that best fit their pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a veterinary student, I have experience recognizing signs of stress, illness, and discomfort in animals and understand the importance of careful, attentive care. I strive to create a calm and positive environment for every pet while respecting their normal routines and boundaries. I know how important trust is when someone else is caring for your pet, so I will always communicate clearly, provide updates, and treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs extra patience, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

“I have booked Eric two times to walk Murdoch and he has been great. Speedy communication, very nice and courteous and most importantly my dog likes him. I will continue to book for walks for Murdoch.”

“Maureen has done a great job taking care of our GSP. Just after two weeks of walks, Roody has made a bond with Maureen and looks forward to his time with her. Highly recommend Maureen!”

“This was my first time using Rover and I could not ask for a better person. She was super sweet and made sure Thor was taken care of. She even scheduled time to meet Thor before their walk the day before. I would highly recommend.”

About: I have been in the veterinary field for 5 years and work general practice and emergency medicine. I am able to give medicine of all kinds including injectable medicine. I love animals and will always treat your pet as my own. I do work full time in the veterinary hospital and I am available on weekends and some days during the week. I will be available most holidays as well. I clean up after them if there are any accidents. I will ensure they have food and water when allowed per instructions. They will be walked and have play time. They will be treated as my own.
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.
About: Hi! My name is Elisheba, along with being a mother to 3 kids, I am also a lover of all things furry and cute. I have been caring for dogs my entire life and have owned American Bulldogs, Boerboels and Frienchies. I frequently dog sit for my friend's furry kids while they are away. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes as well as energy levels. I am a laid back person myself, but my children sure do a great job at keeping pups active and entertained. I consider myself an experienced puppy snuggler but I love going on walks and venturing to local dog parks. I understand that your dog is a member of your family and I will make sure they feel like they are a member of mine!

“Susan is an excellent walker! She clearly loves dogs and takes the time to build a relationship with them. She is thorough - sends updates and pictures. I highly recommend her services!”
“Wolf was amazing! We booked last minute and had some changes in our itinerary, but was still very according. Romeo was so happy when he got back from his walk with Wolf. Will be booking again! Thank you!”

About: Home away from home care for your pet when you are out of town or just need a staycation. Plenty of room to play indoors and outdoors in our fenced in backyard. Flexible drop off and pickup hours. Lots of hugs and love to make your four legged child feel like he or she is at home while you are away. Keep your pet on their normal schedule. Personalized care for your pet. Check in at any time to see how your pet is doing and receive daily text and video updates of your pet. I would love to host your pet in our home or drop in to your home to care for your pet. Please do not hesitate to text or email me with questions on pet boarding and sitting options that I provide. My weekly schedule is flexible, so I am able to give your pet much time and attention during the week and on weekends when they stay in my home. My partner, who also has over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, works with me to care for your pet. We alternate times during the day to care for your pet so that he/she has full time care and each of us has time to tend to other duties. We ensure that dogs and puppies in our home are supervised at all times. We allow each adult pet the space to roam freely and close off any rooms or areas we want restricted. With puppies, we restrict them to the room where we are as we like to closely monitor the babies. If we have multiple dogs/puppies in the home during your pets visit, feeding and potty breaks are done separately. We may crate or restrict a pets access to roam if we are receiving another guest pet or person 🙂 or if we have to run out of the home to run an errand. We try and follow your indicated pets schedule as closely as possible. You can assured that your pet will receive lots of love and attention while in our home.
“Daniel was fantastic! He stepped in at the last minute to help me out with my dogs when I had to travel for work, even though it was horribly hot and humid and he didn’t feel well. I really appreciate his quick communication and my dogs both took to him immediately. I’ll definitely book his services again in the future!”

“Megan was incredible! Super responsive and so nice! She helped me out big time and even helped me out when Winston had an accident inside. She made me so comfortable and know my pup was well taken care of I will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Hello, I have a good amount of experience with both dogs and cats. With dogs I have had them around my whole life my parents had me taking care of them as soon as I could I have worked with dogs of all ages, 8 months to the more matured 15 years. with cats I also have a good range some as young as 4 months to as old as you can imagine. For dogs I love taking them for walks, or just hanging out. With cats they usually entertain themselves with what ever I am doing. I am volunteering at an animal shelter so I have plenty of time to hang out with your best buds! I am currently a student at the University of Cincinnati my aqueduct runs from 10:00 am- 3:00pm and other than that my time is committed to your pet The most resent dogs that I had one was 15 years old and she would mostly lay in the sun all day she would wake up at 6 a.m. and I would pick her up and immediately take her outside and then feed her. The other one was about 1 year old and she would sleep down stairs because if she did not she would eat everything upstairs. She would get up around the same time, sometimes she would get up earlier than that and have to go potty and I would get up then and let her out. I would feed her at the same time. After the older was finished eating she would go back outside for just a little bit with my other dog and then I would taker her back upstairs and she would usually sleep the day away. The puppy however we would play just a little bit outside and then she would get sleepy and go to sleep for a little. This is the time I took to get the house cleaned up a little after she would wake up I would let both of the dogs out. When the puppy got a little older she would just follow me around the house, she liked to cook with me, we would go for walks or rides together. Once it was time for dinner I would feed them both take them both out and then the puppy would play more until she got tired and we got ready for bed. For cats he would wake me up around 6 to get fed breakfast and they he would go on about his business, following me around when he wanted to, he also enjoyed to cook. Sometimes he enjoyed playing but he really entertained himself. I would feed him around 6 pm and then we would go to sleep together.
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
About: I love engaging with different pets. Snuggly and sleepy ones or ones that want to run! I am very adaptable to meet the needs of your furry (or scaly) friend(s) I am happy to provide care to more exotic pets like bunnies, rodents, fish, lizards, geckos, snakes, etc. I currently work Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday 7:30am-6pm only a 20 min from deer park high school ! I aim for a walk almost everyday I love the area ! I have a fenced in back yard, I feel comfortable getting furry friends in and out of crates, and happy to follow any schedule or specifications you have !
“Wonderful dog walker. She is honest and does her best to take care of your dogs. You literally can’t go wrong with Anna. She works hard and puts all her love into taking care of our doggos. I am new to Cincinnati and it’s great to find someone I can trust to come to my house and take care of my best friend like family.”

Reading dog parents share their Rover experiences
Alexandria has been great with our two dogs, Athena and Bailey! She is always attentive to their needs and willing to take them for a walk and adjust as needed. She even helped wipe down after a rainy day! We will definitely look to Alexandria to care for our dogs and maybe even our cats in the future!
