“And I repeat, Heather is gold! She continues to provide meaningful care on my Zeke dog’s walks and seamless communication surrounding all walks. We are grateful and happy to have Heather in our lives - as will you!”
“Bethany did an amazing job with our dog Lily. She gave plenty of updates, pictures,and lots of care! She even went above and beyond and brought in some flowers for us and brought in our trash cans while we were away. We cannot thank you enough for your help this week! I would gladly trust Bethany again. 💖”
“Tess was a great dog walker! She took my best buddy out for a nice hour long walk, sent so many pictures and an excellent little recap of their walk, and he was TUCKERED OUT.”
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!
“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: 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!
“Wolf was amazing! We booked last minute and had some changes in our itinerary, but was still very according. Romeo was so happy when he got back from his walk with Wolf. Will be booking again! Thank you!”
“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.”
About: I grew up with five cats and one dog, and have helped pet sit friends’ dogs. I am very comfortable playing, feeding, going on walks, cleaning litter boxes, etc. I now have my own tripod cat as well, so I have also learned a lot about caring for pets with different needs! I will be working part time, and not taking classes this summer semester. So I will have plenty of time to stop by throughout the week. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and stick to their usual routine. I am very careful on checking that doors, gates, and leashes are secure. I follow all instructions closely and keep owners regularly updated!
“First ever pics WHILE on the walk! Yay!!! Crista saved the day last minute, had no qualms about a rainy Sunday, and made it a snap to send instructions from afar.”
“Walked my dog last minute on NYE. I frankensteined some directions to get in our building and walk the dog and Alexis did a fantastic job and was super communicative. Would recommend again!”
About: I am a cat owner and have several years of experience volunteering at an animal shelter spending time with dogs and cats while caring for them. I am off of work for the summer and have open availability for new clients. I am open to one-time and repeated visits both during the week, weekends, and holidays. I am looking for dog walking and drop-in visits. I follow the client's instructions and will contact the client with any questions. I love to play with animals and make sure that there needs are met.
About: I've been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life and have experience with all ages, sizes, and pet kinds! I am a recent grad of Physical Therapy school, and I am in process of studying for my board exam so I am able to help take care of your pets pretty much any time! I will follow what ever system the owner has in place for their fur babies and ensure that they are being taken care of and getting exercise! Right now I am studying for a board exam, so unless I am going out of town for something, I am likely available to help take care of your fur babies. I am able to care for your pet no matter what type of housing (house, apartment, townhome). I work with the owner on what type of activity level the animal requires.
About: I’ve grown up taking care of my own dogs and cats as well as dog sitting for neighbors and family friends! I have experience with various breeds and different sized dogs! I love them all:) I am a Registered Nurse, so I have multiple days off a week to spend caring for and loving on your pets while you’re away! I am incredibly flexible on how you would like your pet to be walked, groomed, fed, etc.! Your pet is so important and I want to be able to provide you with relief that they are well loved while you are away!
“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.”
“Courtney was awesome with my shiba inu, despite her being a difficult dog. Her patience and kindness allowed her to build trust with my dog. She was prompt and provided a very detailed summary. Definitely recommend to anyone and will definitely book again!!”
Southgate dog parents share their Rover experiences
Bethany did a great job of walking our one-year-old cattle dog/beagle mix. A trainer had just taught me a good way to do it, and Bethany came over early to learn how. So on all her walks, she helped train our dog to walk properly with her human! You can rely on Bethany to be kind, firm, and pleasant. Will definitely hire her again when we need a dog walker.
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.
