1. Rachel B.
“Rachel is absolutely the best dog sitter we've ever worked with. Her timing was prompt, her communication was fantastic, and she went over and above on multiple occasions, including gracefully working with our oldest dog who had been scared by fireworks, making sure all of our pups' needs were met. We can't thank her enough!”




2. Sai M.
“Sai stayed with me in Cincinnati for about 6 months. He was very kind to the family cat and was careful to not let her out. He likes both cats and dogs and is energetic so would be a good dog walker. He is responsible and trustworthy. He is also kind and considerate and helpful.”


3. Ally M.

“I am so thankful for Ally. She really gave me peace of mind helping me out with drop in visits. The pictures she sent were great and really showed that she interacts with the dogs. I got a feeling she was there to be their friend not just doing a job. I happened to see her on camera being very very sweet to them as well and I could tell my dogs were happy to have her as a new friend.”


4. Brianna M.

“Amazing!!! I’ll be honest, I was a little nervous handing my babies over to a compete stranger. Brianna exceeded all my expectations and both of my pups seemed to love her. I would recommend her to anyone looking to have their babies taken care of while they are away and I can’t wait to use her services again in the future. ?”


5. Leila H.

“It’s been a very nice experience to have Leila walk Henri. She’s been very loving and kind towards Henri. Very punctual and very thoughtful. A great find. Leila is very respectful of my needs and she’s very compliant to all instructions. I thoroughly appreciate her and recommend her to all dog lovers and owners.”


6. Audrey U.

“Audrey was great! She did everything and more and it was great to be able to have someone like Audrey take care of Zooey. Would definitely use again!”


7. Merritt F.

“Merritt was AWESOME with our little girls, Roxy and Jessie! Thank you very much, Merritt for being so reliable and sweet with them. You helped us get Jessie acclimated in her first month home from rescue! We will definitely call on you again in the future.”


8. Kaitlin H.
About: Yes, I am the person greeting your dog first. I can't help it! I've lived with and cared for all kinds of dogs, from pugs to pitties. I looked after an 17 year old hound dog, and have most recently been enjoying the adventure of raising a rottie boy from a pup. I've done all manner of clean ups, managed medicine schedules, and walked at every pace you can imagine in any weather you can imagine. I'm keen on helping pups meet their needs, be it exercise, play, training, or even a lil' hip massage. I'm in! Caring for my own pup helped me to heal from workplace burnout, so I'm working to make pet care a larger part of my life. That said, I am working part-time and have a lot of flexibility, particularly when I have ample notice or a consistent schedule. At the same time, the nature of my work now means I'm sometimes available on short notice, too. When caring for your pet in their home, I'm always happy to follow any instruction you have, and I'm big on leaving no trace that I've been there. I'm comfortable being captured on your pet cam, and will always triple-check that I've adequately secured both your pet and your home when leaving. Should your dog come to stay with me and my pup (2.5 yrs), they'll be in a two story home with a fenced in yard. I have a medium and large crate on site, as well as a small soft crate, and a variety of gates and beds/cots. In instances where solo time is preferred, my pup can often go for a slumber party at his uncle's place if needed.


9. Eriann S.

“Eriann was great! She sent a lot of photos and provided a summary of how Louie was doing with every visit. Would be happy to have her check in on him again.”


10. Olivia P.
“Olivia loves dogs. She is also very responsible and can keep up with any dog. No one is more qualified to walk or take care of dogs than her.”


11. Sydney D.

“Sydney is great! I went home to a happy dog after work each day. She is on time, gives my dog a lot of attention, allows him to play and go potty. Only good things to say!”


12. Claudia P.

“Claudia did an amazing job with our dogs as always. She always gives great updates and sends the cutest photos! The pups so look forward to her visits. We are so lucky to have Claudia!”


13. Kay M.

“This was our first experience with Rover. Kristin did a great job dropping in to visit, feed and let out our new puppy. I loved the photos she sent! We will definitely book her again.”


14. Julia G.
“Julia is my wife and the most compassionate, loving, and organized person I have ever been pleasured to know. She LOVES dogs, works from home and is an excellent candidate to offer this service!”


15. Victoria R.

“Victoria let’s my senior dog out during the day she is very good with him. She sends me pics which helps to make sure he’s ok while I’m at work!”




16. Mary Kay G.


“Mary Kay is awesome! She came by for a quick meet and greet beforehand. On drop in day, everything went smoothly. She sent me pictures and a detailed message about what her and my puppy did during the drop in. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future. Thanks Mary Kay!”


17. Laurie P.
“We've been relying on Laurie to help care for our 2 dogs for YEARS whenever we needed a hand. We tried to kennel our dogs once and they hated it. Ever since then, whenever we have a trip out of town that the pups can't join us on or if we have a long day at work and need someone to let them out, our first call is always to Laurie. She's always kind and gentle with the pups and can handle any special request we throw her way (medication needs, walk schedules, etc). We can't recommend Laurie enough! If you're looking for a trustworthy partner in pet care AND a new best friend for your pet(s), look no further!”




18. Alex R.


“Alex was great. On time, good communication, and my dog seemed to get along great with them. I'll definitely book again!”


19. Lauren M.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Lauren as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. She has taken wonderful care of both my cats and dog over the last decade, demonstrating her deep love and understanding for animals. Lauren also cares for her own cat, Nugget, with the same dedication and love. Her passion for pets and her reliability make her an exceptional choice for anyone seeking a skilled and caring pet sitter.”




20. Genelle M.

“I continue to be so thankful for and impressed with Genelle. She was much too gracious when I forgot to leave a key fob for my building but was able to make it work. Thank you thank you thank you Genelle!!!”
