“Imani did a great job house-sitting and watching my cat, Penny! She provided updates everyday and was quick to respond to messages! She left the place spotless and Penny loved her! I would definitely recommend her and will be reaching out to her again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of doggies most of my entire life. I’m experienced, quick on my feet and energetic. I have a large, grassy backyard with a privacy fence, so your pup has freedom to run around as much as he or she wants! Excited to meet your little fur baby! I work from home so I have the flexibility to go out and walk or play with your pup! I’m free all weekends as well. I have my own doggie who is friendly, energetic and loves to play. He gets along with everyone. My house has a big backyard with a fence so the dogs are free to run around as much as they’d like. I also have a portable fence for inside the house if needed.
“Thor and Lilac absolutely adore Katjerine, which tells me everything I need to know. They’re always happy and comfortable with her, and I have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. She’s dependable, caring, and clearly a true dog person. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch them again. Highly recommend!”
“Megan and Lee are phenomenal. They spent time getting to know our two fur babes and we felt so much better knowing our girls were in such good hands. They sent us photos and updates too! We will definitely have Megan and Lee stay at our home and watch our girls again!”
“Jess really is the best! We just moved to the area and were looking for a reliable sitter for our fur baby - we have only ever trusted family or friends to watch him prior. Jess was communicative the whole time, sending updates multiple times a day, making us feel very at ease with the care Gordon was getting. When we got home our house was cleaner than we left it and Gordon was very happy and well taken care of. Well will definitely be using Jess for future needs!”
“Daniel is the best. We felt so comforted knowing our dog was in great care. He sent pictures/updates to let us know how it was going. Our dog loved his time with Daniel so much, would highly recommend him.”
“Joshua took great care of our 2 dogs in our home. He followed our directions and requests, spent a lot of time with them, and was great at keeping us updated and sending photos. We would use him again!”
“Cheyenne kept my house clean, sent photos and updates. But most importantly she made friends with my high anxiety dog, so I know she special took time to make him feel comfortable.”
“Heather was an excellent care provider for my cat! She made sure he was fed. She cleaned the litter box and she even cleaned up throw up. My cat gets sick a lot. She was a big help to me. I highly recommend her. I would love to have her again!!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years and have always loved getting to know their unique personalities and routines. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy giving pets the attention, comfort, exercise, and companionship they need. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As a work-from-home mom, pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to be available for visits, walks, feedings, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I love having pets as part of my routine and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their families are away. I care for every pet with patience, love, and attention to their individual routine. In my home, pets have access to an unfenced yard for supervised outdoor time and plenty of room to relax. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and keep their pet comfortable in their familiar environment.
About: I am a 24 year old college kid studying Disaster Management. I love animals and have been around them my whole life. Big dogs are my fave but who do not like cuddling with a lap dog?? I can walk your dog feed them. What ever you need with your dogs I can provide. I have one dog at home his name is Murphy!!! He is a 75 lb golden doodle, ball of fur. He loves other dogs and loves to play. Because of that your dog will never get bored even if I have to leave the house to go do something. I also love walking dogs! Since I could walk I have been walking dogs! I am working part time but I build my own schedule. I always take my dogs on walks every day. Or let them play in my large fenced in backyard I have a large fenced yard for the dogs to play in. There is never a need to worry when I am watching your dog.
“Olivia has been incredibly reliable in taking care of my pups. She’s always so great about sending photos will I’m away and making sure everything not only with my babies but with the house is taken care of. Thank you, Olivia for being a great dog and house sitter! We couldn’t do it without you!”
“This was my first booking with Rover and if Tonia is an example of the quality and compassionate pet sitters....we will be back! Tonia was prompt, kind, attentive and a life-saver (last minute scheduling request). We couldn't have had a better experience. Thank you Tonia and Rover! From Tucker's mom & dad.”
About: I have a Great Dane named Sadie! I truly believe thats pets are like family and they should be treated as such😁Sadie and I have the most incredible bond and I love taking her everywhere with me. Her favorite things are going on a car ride or going to the open fields behind our house!! I have frequently pet sit for my neighbors and always treat their dogs/pets as if they were my own. I also make sure I send updates and lots of pictures! I worked in a pet store as one of my first jobs and loved every second of it! Animals are one of my biggest passions and their safety and happiness are my top priority. I am available for walks or to check in on your pets while you are away! I can also have pets in my home! Feel free to reach out, I am a quick responder. I cant wait to meet your fur babies❤️❤️❤️ I currently work as a Registered Behavior Technician. I provide one on one therapy for children with autism and help guide them into the school environment! My schedule varies, however when I am not working there I would love to be with your pets!! I am available to stay overnight at your house/go to your house frequently during the day to check on your pet! I make sure to treat pets with the same love and attention they get from their owners, keeping their routine and ensuring they feel safe and happy in their home environment.
About: As your pet's second best friend, I offer tailored care, genuine love, and a paw-sitively unforgettable experience! I am well educated in dog training, ensuring they’re mentally and physically stimulated, to overall pet health. I take care of my dog to the fullest extent, your dog will be treated all the same as a new member of the pack! To ensure safety and health, we don’t play right after eating to avoid bloat, I am very conscious of heat on their paws when walking on different surfaces, I avoid rawhide treats and go with homemade or very natural treats instead, and those are just scratching the surface of do’s and don’ts! I keep a structured but flexible routine, which allows me to give your dog plenty of attention, exercise, and consistency. I prioritize walks, potty breaks throughout the day, and lots of playtime and enrichment. I’m home often and very intentional about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your dog needs structure, cuddles, or high energy engagement, I adapt to their personality and routine to make their stay feel as close to home as possible! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a well-socialized dog, Dilo, who has a background in working in high stress environments to not be reactive. Nonetheless, I always do slow introductions to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. If needed, I can crate or provide separate spaces for rest and decompression. Inside my home, I maintain a clean, structured environment with plenty of space for play and relaxation. I closely monitor interactions, follow feeding instructions carefully, and stick to your dog’s routine as closely as possible so they maintain some sense of routine while being away from home.
“Nothing but positive things to say about Suzanne. I have a rescue pittie who gets overstimulated very easily and was also needing medication during Suzanne’s stay and everything went great. Wonderful communication, lots of pictures and you could tell Suzanne gave my dog lots of love.”

Abby was a perfect fit for my active, young dogs! They’re still learning quite a bit, and from the moment she met them, Abby was confident and comfortable handling their energy. I could tell they really enjoyed their stay with her, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. I will definitely be using Abby again!
Thor and Lilac absolutely adore Katjerine, which tells me everything I need to know. They’re always happy and comfortable with her, and I have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. She’s dependable, caring, and clearly a true dog person. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch them again. Highly recommend!
Rachel did an amazing job caring for our senior Great Dane, Brutus, while we were away. From the very beginning, she gave us peace of mind by providing multiple updates throughout her stay, which we truly appreciated. It was clear that she was attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely cared about Brutus' well-being. When we returned home, everything was exactly as we had left it, which speaks volumes about her professionalism and respect for our home. Most importantly, Brutus was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for during our time away. We are incredibly grateful for the love and attention Rachel gave our old man, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. She has definitely earned a permanent spot on our list of trusted Rovers. Thank you, Rachel, for taking such great care of Brutus and giving us the confidence to enjoy our time away knowing he was in excellent hands! ❤️🐾
You’re not going to find a more attentive and caring house and pet sitter than Michael. I am so happy and relieved that our paths crossed and will only be using his services going forward for further needs. His care for my home and 3 cats went above and beyond. He cleaned my fridge, first floor, and windows! One of my cats got sick repeatedly, even requiring a vet visit and home medication administration, and Michael tended to these needs with enthusiasm. You won’t go wrong choosing Michael to look after your home and animals!
Maddy did an amazing job watching our dog and house for a week, she was extremely communicative, sent photo updates and responded quickly every time we reached out. Our puppy was very happy and loved and got lots of walks and attention. Highly recommend Maddy’s services!
Olivia was outstanding! She was everything her resume and past reviews said she was... and more! I have three dogs, 2 that are up in years and 1 that requires medication and monitoring daily. Olivia connected with them right away and she provided excellent care for all of them. She is dependable, reliable and professional,, all the things you look for when you are entrusting someone to care for the pets you love. I had a number of pet routines that she had she had to master to make my pups feel comfortable and she did great,,, she was the only change for them and they connected with her on the join up visit. I could not recommend her more highly.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Symmes walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Symmes maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Symmes choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
