About: I have dog sitted for close friends and work colleagues during graduate school. I am still new to dog sitting but I take direction very well and I am willing to learn new things and meet new people! I am currently a pharmacy resident and work mainly during the weekdays from 7am-5pm and work every other weekend starting this upcoming July. My availability for June is open during the afternoons and most early morning for weekdays and open on weekends! I make a point to follow instructions to a T, and if there are opportunities to go above and beyond, I will do so. If dog sitting, I make sure to give the utmost attention to your pet while also meeting your expectations. As for house sitting, I like to treat a home as if it were my own: tidy and organized.
“Thank you for taking such great care of our old girl! The updates and pictures were so nice and gave us peace of mind. Tiffany is an amazing dog sitter! This is the second time she’s watched her and I know we will use her again in the future! 🫶🏻🐶”

“Angel was extremely responsive when setting up the meet and greet and took amazing care of Mr Cat! She sent daily photos and updates and he looked happy and cared for!”

“We had a wonderful experience with our Alexis. She was always on time, extremely dependable, and very easy to work with. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such caring hands. She absolutely loved her, and it was obvious she treated them like her own. Communication was great, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. The quality of care and reliability made it completely worth it. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their pets!”

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with two of my own a 6-year-old Golden Retriever and a 2-year-old Lab/Aussie mix. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have years of experience dog sitting. I treat every dog like family and am comfortable with all breeds and energy levels. Whether your pup needs playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to help! I'm a graduate student at Xavier University with a flexible schedule. I’m available for walks or check-ins throughout the day and can also stop by in the evenings after class. With my experience and having dogs of my own I am able to ensure dog safety and that their needs are met. I will also treat your dogs as if they are my own.
About: I am deaf and use sign language. We can communicate by writing papers, emailing, and texting each other for updates about our pets. I've taken care of dogs and cats for 15 years experienced and my clients like the care and attention I have given to their pets. I have worked with neighbors, friends, and other clients, caring for their pets when they are away for work. I walk their dog, feed, play, and give a lot of love to their pets. During out walking with your dog, poop with a trash bag. Your dog will always have plenty of giving a lot of love attention, playtime, exercising, and out walking at your home to keep your pet stay healthy & happy wiggle tails. My schedule is flexible. I can come to your home in the early morning to take your dog out for a walking & potty, play, giving attention of love. I'll be happy to feed and give a freshwater bowl to your pet in the early morning and at dinner time. Also, I can help to drop off your dog at the groomer shop & pick him/her up at the groomer shop to bring home depending on your requested. I look forward to meeting you and your pets to introduction for the first day before I can get you booked to getting know each other better. I am available open anytime with full-time (Morning, Mid-day, Afternoon and Evening) to take care of your animals and provided them with love and care. I typically take dog out for potty break, playtime, give a lot of love, feeding. I will be care of your cats, fishes, and birds.
“This was Olivia’s second time taking care of our two cats while we were away, and we hope to work again with her in the future! She is a wonderful caretaker and we know our kitties are always in good hands with her. Thanks, Olivia!”


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.
“Sophie was reliable and always on time. Provided pics and videos of walks and took Jax to a variety of places. Will definitely request time again and hope she is available!!”
“Grace was so fantastic with Mora and Finn! We have two very energetic Australian Shepherds. Grace was super kind and played with them outside for the entire visit! We look forward to having Grace dog-sit again!”

“You are lovely, Hannah! Thank you for your consideration and confidence :-) . I am a single woman and my cat Grandma clearly loves you; I’d be happy to request your help in the future again if you’ll have us!”

“I am so thankful for Nina's help while I was away for two long days in a row. The dogs were happier and more relaxed when I came home and seeing her reports took away all my guilt for leaving them for the day. It's obvious they had fun and felt loved. I will definitely seek her out again!”

“Courtney was super great and put me at ease while away from my cats! She listened and followed all my instructions carefully and her communication was great. Highly recommend her!”

About: Animals have been my passion since childhood! My home is shared with a happy 6-year-old cat, making me an expert in feline routines and enrichment. I also hold a deep bond with senior dogs; having cared for my own German Shepherd through her final years, I am deeply comfortable with medical regimes and gentle mobility support. I treat every pet with the same compassion and specialized attention I gave my own “soul dog.” I am an assistant principal, so I am usually not free on weekdays until 3:30. I am available in the evenings and on the weekends for visits! Additionally, because of my work schedule, I am available on most holidays. Your pets are family, and I treat them with the same vigilance I give my own 6-year-old cat. I am a safety-first sitter who double-checks door locks, harness fits, and gate latches every single time. My experience with a senior German Shepherd taught me the importance of patience and gentle handling. I am committed to transparent communication, providing daily photo updates and detailed notes via the Rover App so you know your dogs and cats are thriving.

About: I have a great love for animals and have been taking care of dogs for 14 years. I am currently a cat mom, but in the past I have had up to 4 animals at the same time, so I am experienced with caring for many animals at once. Also, I have experience sitting small rodents and some reptiles. I am a quick learner and love all pets, especially ones with unique challenges and personalities. I am also a Type 1 diabetic, so if your animals require insulin or any other injectable medication, I am comfortable with needles and administering those medications. I work a full time job, but I have a varying hybrid schedule, so 2 to 3 days a week I work from home, and can spend direct time with your pet. I am very communicative with my clients, and will update every check in on how their pets are doing. I make sure to give the pets lots of attention. I will listen to you on what works best for your pets, and keep them on any schedules you have in place for them.
“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.”

Southgate dog parents share their Rover experiences
When our initial plans fell through, our thoughts immediately jumped to Katie to take care of Cora. She got back to us so quickly. We can always trust her to take superb care of Cora in a professional and caring manner. We are so lucky Katie is here for us and for Cora. Seriously can’t recommend her enough!

Georgiana was amazing! This was my first time using rover and she made me feel at ease! Our dog had an accident in the house and she took it upon herself to clean it up even after I had told her not to worry about it (didn’t want her to have to do that)! Georgiana is very thoughtful and sweet! Would recommend her to anyone!

Julie was amazing! She took care of our girls as if they were her own family. She was prompt, attentive, and kept us aware of how the girls were while we were away. She was our first dog "sitter" that wasn't family and we will use her again. Thankful we connected with her and that she could take care for our family members while we were traveling.
