“Jennifer was so great with Tiggy! She was able to get him to come out for pets and love! He had an accident and she cleaned it up for us with no complaints. The pictures she sent were so sweet too! I will gladly book with her again!”


“Amazing sitter! My babies (she watched my rat terrier pup and holland lop bunny) aren’t used to new people in the apartment all the time, plus we just moved so new space. Stephanie took the time to make sure they were not only properly cared for with all the weird things that come with pets, but they quickly came to feel comfy around, love, and look forward to her visits I could tell! Would love her to sit anytime!”


“I typically leave my elderly cat with my parents when I travel but since it was such a short trip, I decided to get a pet sitter. Maureen was phenomenal and did a great job taking care of Buddy while we were away! Would definitely book again!”


“Very understanding and accommodating! I had an issue with a door code while out of town and she was able to work with me to fix it. Would highly recommend and use again when needed.”


“Jessica is extremely kind and patient with my girls. We had a hiccup with the instructions that were left BUT she was very apologetic, it was a harmless mistake and no issues since. I trust that her attention to detail has been heightened and I truly believe that she just wants to take the best care of my girls while I’m away. I will continue to book with Jessica as my first option, my work schedule requires getting outside help to care for my girls so I’m looking forward to having Jessica drop in on my girls for as long as she’s able and willing.”


“Absolutely wonderful sitter! Very thorough and even took the time to bond and play with our timid cat! Sent tons of photos and videos letting us know when/if our cat was eating/drinking/playing.”


“Jessica is great! She took such great care of my cat Chloe, and she was so sweet and communicative. Would absolutely use again and recommend you do to! Thank you, Jessica!”


“Taylor did a great job with our kitties. She did everything that was asked and took great care of them. Would definitely book again? Thank you for being flexible and covering what was needed to make sure our she got her meds”



“Susan is incredible! She does such a great job communicating with me and being extremely transparent about her visits with my dog. She always provides plenty of pictures and will let me know what all they did during their time together. I always come home to a happy (worn out) dog from playing with her. I will continue to book her again and again and again!”


“Ashley was wonderful and accommodating to my last minute request for a drop in visit to let my puppy Ron out! She played with him and had him go potty twice! So grateful for her!”


About: I used to be a pet sitter for a vet who had all kinds of animals! Cats, dogs, fish, birds, you name it! I can administer medications, clean litter boxes, play time, long walks, and anything else your pet may require. I work full time close to the University of Cincinnati from 8-4 Monday-Friday. I can stop by right after work or later. Your pets safety and happiness is my priority. I currently work a full time job from 8-4. I would love to take care of your pup when I get off work or drop by later if need be! Durning drop-in visits and walks, I focus on following all instructions provided by the owner and ensuring the pet is happy and comfortable. I will provide fresh water, play time, brushing, cleaning the yard or scooping the litter box, whatever the animal needs I will provide. My goal is to ensure your pet is happy and healthy and keep to their normal routine as close as possible.

“Liz was perfect! I needed someone on short notice and she came through for stopping by to feed my cat while I was out of town for a few days. She even returned for an additional night when I was running late. Nothing but good things to say about Liz!”


About: I have experience working with dogs from a daycare/boarding facility. I grew up with animals and I have a dog of my own. I am an animal lover from the bottom of my soul, and will always put their needs first. Your baby is in good hands! I am currently at home full time. When booking with me you'll know that your baby will have my undivided attention. Any change in availability will always be on my calendar. I have a small fenced in yard that your puppers can access at anytime and 2 dogs of my own that love making new dog friends. I will follow instructions diligently and use my Pet Care experience to properly provide for your baby. I can also bring my dog along, if you'd like, for some extra playtime.

“Great communication, great with my TWO dogs. Walks them together better than I can myself ?. Highly recommend. Very flexible & has great availability for what I need right now.”


“Alexandria took amazing care of our two cats who have a detailed routine. One is very particular and she took to Alexandria which is no small feat! The pictures and updates she sent were detailed and I looked forward to getting them after each visit!”


“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.”


About: Hi there! Thanks so much you for checking out my profile ☺️ A bit about me: I recently moved to Cincy with my kitty Dany (full name: Daenerys Stormborn Targaryen). She’s a sociable and classically talkative Tortoiseshell (pictured above) and I love her to pieces! I’m a dietian and health-tech professional by trade looking for some supplemental work this summer while I hunt for full time position. I've grown up with dogs, cats, fish, and hamsters in my home and have had many sitting jobs for family and friends throughout the years. I promise to be the loving and reliable caretaker you're searching for to provide the best care for your pet. Past sitter-seekers have described me as dependable, attentive, and great with communication. If this sounds like what you're looking for, please don’t hesitate to message me or send a request my way! I do not currently have a full time job, so my schedule is wide open for the summer! Give me a reason to stay busy please 🙏🏻 My apartment complex is gated and I’m right next to the Wasson Trail, so your boarded pup will be going on my daily walks (as able, of course!). My home is quiet and calm with great windows for people watching (just ask my cat). I am tidy, especially at other folks’ homes, so you can expect a mess-free visit.

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.
