About: I’ve taken care of many dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits within my college years and would love to keep helping people by making sure their fur children are well taken care of. I currently work a part time job and like to work out. If my daily walk has a furry friend with me, that’s even more welcome! I would have no problem in house sitting so long as I am able to get to work for the day and come back to see the little guy/gal. I will be more than happy to play/walk/ visit with the pets as much as possible. I enjoy taking care of animals and will do so to the best of my ability as if they are my own pet.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs throughout my whole life, and cared for many friends pets while they’re away. More than anything I care about keeping consistent routine and making everyone comfortable and secure! I have a flexible work schedule in downtown Cov, so it’s easy for me to drop by whenever you need! Always willing to move things around, pets come first! I have lots of experience with animals of every personality type, and will do my best to meet them where they are! Playful, cuddle bug, quiet and reserved, you name it!

Cathy was great with my cats. My shy cat even came around to her. She communicated with me daily while on vacation. I was able to enjoy my vacation so much more knowing my cats were well taken care of.

About: I grew up with Weimaraners 🐾 — and thanks to some very patient parents, a few determined (and slightly sneaky 😉) cats 🐱 and other little critters 🐹 made their way into our family too. With nearly 35 years of devoted “cat mommying,” Princess 👑 — my Norwegian Forest cat — is my current fur baby and reigning queen of the house 🏡✨. My schedule is fully flexible 📅, which means your pets are never squeezed into a busy day — they’re the priority 🐾🤍. I maintain their routine in the comfort of their own home 🏡 so they feel secure, relaxed, and genuinely cared for 😌✨. I’m passionate about animals of all kinds 🐶🐱🐾 and committed to providing attentive, personalized care so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved 🤍 — and have a whole lot of fun 🎾🦴✨ — while you’re away. With decades of hands-on experience, I understand everything from daily routines and medication to reading subtle feline moods like a pro. I don’t just “check in.” I provide intentional, tailored care designed around your pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s a structured walk, enrichment playtime, or calm companionship for a senior kitty or dog, your pet receives focused, one-on-one attention. You’ll receive thoughtful updates, beautiful photos, and clear communication — because trust isn’t optional. It’s everything. Peace of mind should come standard. Boutique care. White-glove attention. Your VIP pets become my VIPs. 🐾✨

I had never utilized this app before so I was very scared at first but Sally made everything seamless. Very happy to have picked her to take care of my babies considering that cats are not the same as dogs. She immediately connected with them and I felt at easy while being away. She sent us pictures and updates every single day and was always quick to respond.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life starting with our family dogs. My first pets of my own were my 2 cats, Cleo and Cloe. Then my Boxer, Daisy. When Daisy passed, I became a foster mom with the Stray Animal Adoption Program. 10 years and over 100 fosters later, I’ve welcomed into my home everything from litters of puppies to adult dogs, seniors, medical fosters, kittens and adult cats and I love them like my own until they find their furever home. I currently have one dog named Marlie and a cat named Gibbs. I work full time and am away from home between 10:00 am and 6:00 pm each day. I do have the flexibility to come home at lunch for a mid-day potty or snack break, if necessary. Since I work during the day, my evenings are most often spent taking my dog for a walk around town. I also love to garden. I have taken my personal dog, Marlie, through general obedience training, nose work (scent detection) training and agility classes for fun.

About: Hi! I’m Reagan, and I’m from Northern Kentucky. I recently graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree in Kinesiology, and I’ll be starting a career in orthopedic medical device sales in a few months. Until then, I wanted to spend my extra time doing something I genuinely love — being around animals! I’ve been dog sitting and caring for pets since high school, so I have about 6 years of experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. While Rover is a great way to make extra cash, I’m honestly doing this because I truly love animals and enjoy spending time with them. I currently have 3 dogs of my own: Roman (a Sheltie), Weller (a Lab), and Winnie (a rescued Lab mix we found on the side of the road and kept!). Having multiple dogs has taught me the importance of patience, exercise, attention, and routine when caring for pets. I have the most experience with dogs, including walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime, but I’m also comfortable caring for cats. I’m active, dependable, and will treat your pets like my own! I currently have a very flexible schedule before starting my full-time job in a few months, so I have plenty of time for your pets! I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the week and weekends. I’m active, reliable, and happy to help keep your pets comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routines and instructions while treating them like my own. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and pictures so you know they’re in good hands!

About: I’ve had a dog for 12 years, so I’m experienced when it comes to taking care of dogs! I have experience walking and pet sitting for my friend’s dogs as well. I love all types of dogs. I want them to have the most positive experience possible! I work full time, but I work remotely on Mondays and Fridays. I’m looking to walk dogs after the work day or on weekends. I can also pet sit and/or check in on pets on weekends/Mondays/Fridays. I would love to hangout with your pet(s) and give lots of cuddles. I enjoy being active, so would have no problem taking your pet(s) on long walks and playing with them.

About: I've been around dogs since I can remember. I have always had a family dog around and have dog sat for several families throughout high school and college. I have only owned smaller dogs, but have plenty of experience dog sitting larger dogs. I currently have a miniature dachshund! I currently work from 8am-4pm on weekdays. However, I am available in the evenings (after 5:00) and weekends to walk, play, stay with, or board your furry friend! After May 22nd I will be available all day during the weekdays and weekends! I am a very energetic, young, and active person that's able to give your pet all the attention, love, and walks they need! If they happen to stay with me, I have a small fenced in yard and live near plenty of walking paths so they can get their energy out.
