About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with both big and small dogs and spent much of my childhood house sitting, watering plants, and taking care of pets around the neighborhood—including daily walks, feeding, playtime, and giving lots of affection. Today, I’m the proud pet parent of a 16-year-old rat terrier and a 5-year-old cat, so I’m very comfortable with both senior care and energetic younger pets. I understand how important it is for animals to feel safe, loved, and well-cared-for when their humans are away. I would love the opportunity to meet your pets and give them the same level of attention and comfort I give my own. Your pets’ happiness and well-being will always be my top priority. My schedule is very flexible, and I have open availability throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended care at almost any time of day, including weekends. I believe pets feel most comfortable in their own familiar surroundings, so I’m committed to making your home feel peaceful and safe while you’re away. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as given, and I take care to respect your home and privacy. You can expect regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

“Saul has been great with our pup! He has been very kind and patient with him and has gone above and beyond to make him comfortable. We’re grateful he can help us!”

“Corey is an excellent dog walker. My dog really enjoys being with him. He's assertive while also being gentle with my dog, which means he follows dog care instructions. He gives great updates about the walk. I'd strongly recommend Corey to my friends.”

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!
“Booked Tiffany to walk my dog and couldn’t have been happier! She sent photos and took care of her like she was her own! Will definitely be using her again! If you’re looking for someone that is both trustworthy and caring look no further and book Tiffany today!!”

About: I regularly pet sit for friends and family. 1-3 weeks mostly; but can do just a few days as well. Private home with a fenced yard. Dog lead in yard is available. I love to walk! Short or long walks are all fine with me. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I’ve owned 3 in my adult life. I even fostered a dog for 9 months! It was hard to give her up; but she went to a loving home. I’m honest and trustworthy and dogs just make every day better! I work a pretty flexible schedule. I’m retired so I have lots of time. If your dog likes car rides and public parks…awesome! There’s also 2-3 dog parks not far from my house I have a fenced in yard that's about 70 yards deep. I also have a 30 yard lead that is concreted in (no fear of them breaking lose. There are sidewalks all around my neighborhood for safe walks on a leash. The closest dog park is about 2 miles from my house. I live alone.
“Cathy is a wonderful dogwalker! She was conscientious and caring regarding my older dog's needs. She communicates well and provided photos daily. Cathy made me feel at ease in trusting her with my dog and in my home.”
“Megan has taken good care of our older pup who has a lot of quirks and particular needs. She communicates well, shows up promptly, and has patience when walking with our 17 year old girl.”

“I cannot recommend Erika enough! She’s been amazing for her dog walking services. I appreciate her being communicative with scheduling walks. my dog appreciates the company in getting the time outside :)”

“Matthew and Archie hit it off immediately and for the next 7 days I knew that our pup was extremely well cared for. Matthew took great care of our dog and communicated well. We would definitely book him again and recommend Matt highly.”
About: Neighbors, family and friends have trusted me to care for their furry friends for 7 years. I have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds by feeding, walking and making sure they are comfortable while their family is away. I have experience providing medications as well as insulin injections for elderly diabetic dogs. I am currently work M-F 6am-4:30/5 so I am unable to care for pets to my best ability during the week. My weekends are usually wide open and allow me much more time and freedom to go on walks and regularly take pets out for potty breaks. I do not have pets of my own due to just completing grad school. I do not have a yard at my apartment but I love to be active by taking walks or going on runs, especially when the weather is nice!
“Allison has been great! Super friendly and helpful when scheduling, and she has great availability. This is the second time she's taken our Aussie pup on a walk to help get some energy out. Love getting the pictures of her time with him and the note she leaves about their time together. Will definitely keep using Allison”

About: I have had dogs all my life. Growing up I had mostly smaller dogs, poodles and mutts, and over the years have pet sit for multiple friends and family members. Most recently I have helped my in laws watch their four collie/collie mixes with walks, exercises/games, house visits and longer stays when needed. Two year ago me and my wife got Ricky, our 45lb Chow/Pit/Spaniel who’s amazing. I drive all over the Cincy metro for work and figured this would be a great way to break up my days, be active, and meet fun dogs. Currently my own dog, Ricky, generally requires a walk a day, is fed twice a day, and we brush or wash him a couple times between grooming. I drive all over Cincinnati for work so adding daily/weekly stops into my schedule only helps keep more structure. I always try to make sure all the pets needs are met. I try and not raise my voice unless absolutely necessary, and not resort to treat dependent behavior either.
“Alexandru was phenomenal!! I scheduled him day of and then repeated for a week out. He was able to walk my pup with no issues (he’s a big 80lb dog with some reactivity). Will definitely be back to use him again!!”

About: I’ve lived with 3+ dogs since birth (big breeds mostly) and more recently a kitty of my own! I’ve cared for dogs & cats of various kinds for families through the years. My parents have 4 doggos & 1 cat that I care for regularly so I’m definitely comfortable with multiple pets at once. As a part time student in between jobs, I have been taking on various side gigs. Luckily my schedule is open & flexible, assuring plenty of time for me to properly care for your fur baby! Whether your pet needs fed, let out to potty, a long stroll through the neighborhood, or simply just some company, they will be met with attention and love.
Southgate dog parents share their Rover experiences
I’ve had an amazing experience with Tyler! He is incredibly reliable and always flexible with schedule changes, which I truly appreciate. From the start, I felt completely comfortable trusting him with my small dog, and that peace of mind has been priceless. My dog is always well cared for, and I honestly haven’t wanted anyone else to walk him. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable and trustworthy walker.

Jillian is amazing with my pup! My pup loves her energy she brings, always makes the walks more fun whether going on his favorite routes or taking trips to coffee shops (where he gets treats). And I love the pictures I get to see the fun of the walks 😊 Jillian is very punctual and great at communicating any change of plans needed as an added bonus!
