About: I have spent over 4 years volunteering at animal shelters with both dogs and cats. I have also grown up with both dogs and cats - primarily small breeds. At the shelter I specialize in dogs, and have worked with breeds ranging from Cane Corsos to Toy Poodles. I like to both play and relax with dogs, and enjoy dog walking as part of an active lifestyle. I work full time, but WFH 3 days a week. The weekends are when I am most free, and prefer afternoons/evenings. I can be flexible if you reach our! I will check on your pet(s)' food and water supply in addition to making sure they use the facilities. I enjoy brushing pets as well!
About: I have experience working with both adult and young dogs - including training, walking, and sitting - from living with a roommate with multiple dogs. I have also helped walk and train other friends' dogs and am exited to take this experience into a profession! I am working towards getting a dog of my own. I currently do have a Full time job but I am just doing this part time as profession to build my clientle book and also to enjoy meeting new pets and pups to help grow as well. I am available usually in the mornings and weekends after 3PM. Since I am a renter I currently do not have a backyard at least yet but what I can provide for my clients is security and reassurance that your dog is in good hands. Also, I do not use negative reinforcement. I always use positive reinforcement.
“Melissa did such an amazing job with our kitties! This is the first time we have ever left them overnight and she made sure to take the time to love them. Couldn’t recommend her more 💜”

“Anise is such an excellent sitter! This was my first time using Rover and Anise made me feel extremely comfortable leaving my cat in her care. She was communicative, took lots of pictures, and always went above and beyond to make sure my cat was getting enough attention.”

“I have an aggressive dog (and then 3 others lol) and Jessalyn was absolutely amazing with them! She was here for two nights and when we got home the please looked better than when we left! She did an outstanding job, she communicated very very well. We will be asking her back!”

“I was so worried about Simon but I came back from a 3week vacation and he was wonderful. I know this is because Alison took such good care of him. She was awesome. I would completely recommend her.”


About: Growing up we always had dogs and cats, and I’ve been caring for my own dog and cat for the past four years. Also, my dog is a rescue who deals with anxiety. With that said, I have experience with dogs with anxiety, and am more than happy to provide extra love, affection, and gentleness for pets with anxiety. I can also administer some medications if needed. I’m also more than happy to clean any litter boxes and provide all the love and playtimes for the kitties out there! I currently only work a part time job, so I have lots of time to be of service to you and your animals! I also work in theatre, and have some rehearsals in the evenings. With that said I’m available before 5pm every day, and some days beyond that Due to my own dog’s anxiety and the smaller size of my home, I don’t offer boarding services. However, I’m more than happy to provide drop in services and walking services for anyone in the Cincinnati and surrounding areas!
“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.”

“Crista was amazing. I was a first time rover user and she was very responsive, helped me feel comfortable in this process and had great ideas with how to approach my hesitant pup. 10/10 would recommend”

“Heather was wonderful! She sat & spent time with my kiddos, and provided pictures each session. Makes me feel so much better having someone I can trust there for my babies when I have to be away!”


“Kayla is fantastic with our dogs. She is reliable, communicative, punctual, polite, honest, and cares deeply about making sure everything is just right with our “girls”. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and genuinely caring sitter. Kayla is a gem, we love her and our dogs do too.”

“I’m very happy that I found Melissa! She was very gentle and kind with my beloved cat, she spent the entire time of her visit with him, sent me detailed update and cute pictures! Really appreciate her help and for sure will book her service again! Also very pleasant communication with her! Definitely can recommend Melissa!”

“Dana took great care of our cat while we were away! She sent pictures and a detailed note everyday, which made us feel so much better! I would definitely recommend her for cat sitting.”

“Laura did a great job with our kitties! She even took the time to bring in boxes from our porch. We have an older cat with an unusual no-litter situation which she was very willing to work with. It helped make our vacation less stressful knowing our boys were in good hands!”
“Tess was amazing and incredibly flexible when my travel plans shifted due to bad weather. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty, which says everything. She paid close attention to his eating and bathroom habits and really took the time to understand how he likes to play and receive attention. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such thoughtful hands. I would absolutely love to have Tess back anytime and highly recommend her.”

“Angel was super attentive to my cats while I was away, and coordinated with me through complicated travel schedules to make sure they would get the care that they need! I’m super thankful for her 💙”

About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for animals through pet sitting, family pets, and helping friends and relatives with their pets. While I do not currently have pets living in my apartment, I have access to a fenced-in lawn area and can provide plenty of exercise through walks around campus and nearby outdoor spaces. I am also comfortable caring for pets in their own home, whether that means overnight stays, extended visits, or quick drop-in check-ins throughout the day. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and following any specific routines or instructions. I enjoy caring for dogs, cats, and other small animals and strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. My goal is to provide dependable care and give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. As a college student, my schedule is flexible and allows me to dedicate time to caring for pets throughout the week. I can provide walks, drop in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship while making sure pets stay on their normal routines. I am reliable, organized, and committed to giving pets the attention and care they deserve. I always prioritize a pet's safety, comfort, and well being. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully and work to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I make sure pets have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, and plenty of attention. I respect clients' homes, keep doors and gates secure, and provide updates so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe and happy while they are away.
South Fairmount pet parents share their Rover experiences
Absolutely fantastic experience with our pet sitter, Erika. She did an amazing job caring for my two cats, who are usually very wary of new people. By the end of her time with them, one of my cats even let her hold him which is a huge milestone and really shows how patient, calm, and gentle she was with both of them. Erika was very professional throughout, followed all instructions carefully, and always replied quickly, which really helped ease my stress while I was away. I felt completely confident knowing my two cats were in great hands. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

Anise is such an excellent sitter! This was my first time using Rover and Anise made me feel extremely comfortable leaving my cat in her care. She was communicative, took lots of pictures, and always went above and beyond to make sure my cat was getting enough attention.

Mimi was WONDERFUL with Enzo. I had not planned on adopting so soon, but fell in love with the little man! I had business travel already scheduled so I needed someone quickly and who would give him a little extra care since he’s new and just a baby. I will definitely book them again to watch him in my home! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Too many visits to specifically comment. Carson is communicative, flexible and takes great care of my fur babies. One pup is special needs and Carson is patient with her, does her eye drops and changes her diaper. He has done house sitting also where he gives them their medication including insulin shots. When I return they look well cared for and happy. I feel secure my pups are cared for with Carson.
