Carolyn is very knowledgeable and fantastic at what she does ? I tried booking puppy care with her and even though she was at capacity she still made an effort to find a solution for me, offering to do puppy drop ins and even came by to meet us that same night. She was on time, loved on our pups, took lots of photos, and Gabe us updates. Love her and will definitely book eith her again!

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. All my fur babies have been trained by me. if you have a puppy that is still in training I have no problem with that. we have all been there. I worked for a year at a local animal rescue. Where I was able to strengthen my knowledge on behavioral training and pet health. I am a college student and am free lot of the time but class are during the day. So breaks away from your fur babies might be longer during the semester. My top priority is to make sure your animals are safe and secondly happy. This means checking on not only your fur babies but also your house to make sure there are no new problems arise. Checking off the to-do list is numbee one but giving your pet time to play and enrichment is also an important priority of mine.

About: Not only have I taken care of dogs, but I’ve taken care of horses. I have experience with taking care of many different animals. I grew up with two dogs and a horse of my own. I enjoy spending my time with animals. Im working for door dash part time so I get to make my own work schedule. I’ll always put your animals first before my work. I think One of the biggest things is lots of love! And of course getting good exercise. Making sure they have enough food, water and treats.

About: **I’m currently offering lower rates than I normally would in order to get my foot in the door with Rover! :) Thank you so much for supporting a Rover newbie! 💗** Hi! 🤗🐕🩷 I’m Alexus and I have been baby-sitting (pets & humans!) for over 9 years now for family, friends, neighbors, and even strangers who have simply heard good things about me from others! People have kept me as their sitter for years because they know they can count on me to be responsible, attentive, communicative, & honest with them while their babies are in my care! 🐶🐱🐰🐹 I’m down-to-earth, calm, and will always be patient & kind to animals of any kind and will respect your home with utmost care. 🏡💕 When you are missing your babies, don’t hesitate to ask for an extra picture or video of them if you want more! I love taking cute photos of every animal I meet and will spoil them with affection. 🌅💗🐩 I will also strictly adhere to any checklist or request that you have— my mission is to give your baby the stability, love, and care that they expect in their daily routine. Whether it is sitting, boarding, walking, or basic grooming, I will provide the home away from home for them by meticulously following directions for specific exercise regimens, dietary restrictions, training (e.g. taking a puppy out to potty every 30-45 min. & rewarding with praise & treat), medication administration, etc. 🍼🧴🧸🎾💊🦮 I will NEVER, under any circumstance, use punishment or fear-instilling tactics. I am a lifelong dog-lover and a dedicated advocate of humane training & treatment of animals. I am Pet First Aid Certified and dedicated to prioritizing pet safety & comfort in order for them and their parents (you!) to be stress-free. ❤️🐾🌎 I can’t wait to meet-and-greet with you & your fur baby! 🫶🐾 I am a full-time dedicated professional pet care provider for families local to the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area. I understand what it’s like to need a last-minute booking, and I will happily take same-day requests! I am currently available 24/7 for all pet care needs. In my home, your babies will enjoy a squeaky clean, comfortable newly-remodeled living room and guest bedroom, as well as a .5-acre fenced-in backyard (will remain leashed while outside) with enriching landscape in a cozy, quiet tucked-away neighborhood. I allow doggies on the couches, but will gladly redirect any dogs away from furniture through positive reinforcement (NEVER PUNISHMENT) if you would like. In your home, I will meticulously adhere to every standard you request and proactively communicate with you regarding in-home checklists as needed.

Molly was wonderful! She took care of our Bernese Mountain Dog, Franklin. She sent lots of pictures and went above and beyond to care for him. Molly was great with communication and always kept us up to date on how Franklin did during her check-in. I would definitely recommend Molly to help you with your pet needs.

About: Not only have I worked with animals my whole life I also work with dogs specifically with a rescue organization called AdoptMeBluegrass. I help with their animal care weekly and am part of their foster program. My family and my own dogs have welcomed hundreds of others into our home and always provide excellent care. I am a local landlord and typically only go out to work at the pet adoption center for AdoptMeBluegrass. I have no set work hours. I spend my time with the dogs. I have a double fenced property on a dead end street. Dogs love the 3/4 dedicated dog yard for them to play on our 6 acres of land. We have crates and can make your pet feel right at home. I’m a treats giver so let me know if there is something they can’t have or any other dietary restrictions. I can also come to your pet for services while you are away.
