“Chrissy gets a 5-Star review from our family. Professional, Caring,Organized. She took care of my 3 dogs and took excellent care of them. I had multiple dogs on meds and she took care of all that. She sent me pictures and updates during my trip , so that I could see how they were doing. Chrissy made me feel so comfortable .From the first time we met her , I knew that my dogs would be in great hands. Will definitely be using her service again. 100percent recommend Chrissy!”
“Amazing sitter! My dogs were happy and relaxed after staying with her which tells me that they stayed active and engaged through their visit! She let us see the space they’d be staying in, the dog park and other areas they’d be accessing. It was a beautiful home and she was very friendly and attentive! Will absolutely be using her services again!”
“Tammi was an amazing host to our dog. This was our first time leaving her with someone besides a family member or friend, and we wanted to make sure that she was with someone who would give her plenty of love and attention. I read many reviews and did a lot of research before choosing Tammi to care for her. After our initial meet-and-greet, I knew that she would be perfect. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and is very experienced. Macy is anxious in new surroundings, and Tammi did a great job of helping her acclimate to a new situation. She sent us photos and updates regularly. Knowing that Macy was doing well helped us to enjoy our vacation. Highly recommend Tammi!”
“Scout and Fergus were treated to a stay with Lindsay and family during our visit to Cincinnati. We were so very pleased with the treatment and care given our dogs. We will not only use Lindsey again, but consider more visits to the area having confidence that our pets have made new friends. I’ll never forget Lindsay’s 4 year old waving and shouting “I love you” to the dogs as we drove away. Big smiles. Thanks guys. They love you too sweetie.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Katie! She took care of our 3 dogs (including our giant Great Dane puppy—lots of energy and slobber 😅) for 10 days and went above and beyond the entire time. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. All of our dogs came home happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. You can tell Katie truly cares about the animals she watches. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!”
“William & Haley were amazing! They took great care of Auri and sent great updates and pictures. Auri loved her time exploring the fenced-in back yard. Thank you!”
“Jane was great Penny. We really appreciated her pictures and it looked like Penny really enjoyed her time with Jane. Would recommend and definitely will use her again!!”
“Angel was great watching my dog! She provided pictures throughout boarding as well as updates on how he was doing. It helped relieve a lot of stress with leaving my dog for the first time.”
“Being new to Rover I was very nervous about leaving my baby with a stranger. But Patricia looked after Louie as if he were her own! He just LOVES her!! She is so sweet, kind and dedicated. We call her Auntie Patricia as she feels part of the family now”
“**Review for Jamie:** Jamie was fantastic! She watched our dog Sarge for a full week and did an amazing job. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which made us feel completely comfortable and at ease while we were away. Sarge clearly had a great time too. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“My golden retriever loves Karen and our dog is generally timid with new people but Karen’s energy and patience are just perfect. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Hi Misty! We appreciate you for being available last Minute to keep Gigi over the Thanksgiving holiday. Always great to have dependable care while we are away from home. Thank you for providing great care to our Bernie! See you next time”
“I cannot express enough how grateful I am to Leann for taking such wonderful care of my dog, Abi, for an entire month. From the very beginning, Leann stepped in on extremely short notice, accepting our last-minute reservation without hesitation. This was such a relief for us, and from that moment on, Leann exceeded all our expectations. Throughout the entire month, Leann maintained constant communication with us, ensuring that we were always updated on Abi's well-being. She sent us frequent photos and videos, often more than once a day, allowing us to see how happy and comfortable Abi was under her care. It was clear from the start that Abi wasn’t just being taken care of; she was being genuinely loved and cherished. Leann didn’t just meet Abi’s basic needs; she went above and beyond to make sure Abi had plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. Seeing Abi’s joyful expressions and playful moments in the photos and videos made us feel incredibly reassured, knowing she was in such good hands. Leann's commitment to Abi's happiness and her ability to create a warm, loving environment truly set her apart. Not only did Leann provide exceptional care, but she also brought a sense of peace and security to us during a time when we needed it most. Her professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction. We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver for Abi, and we will absolutely be turning to Leann again in the future. Thank you, Leann, for everything you did for our family. You are truly a gem!”
“Rachel was great with our Moon. She sent pics throughout the entire weekend stay, from cuddling on the couch with her mom to a chewy unboxing! We’ve left our dog with other sitters before. It was obvious at pickup how much Moon enjoyed being with Rachel and the rest of the household. Would definitely recommend!”

“This was my first time using Rover & so I really had no idea what to expect. Haley set up a time to meet me & my dogs before we left for vacation which worked out so well. My dogs were familiar with her when she came the first time, and by the end of the week they clearly loved her! My dogs had a couple issues during the week, and Haley was a trooper and not phased one bit. I would definitely recommend her for your pets!”
“Katelyn was fantastic with our dogs! She graciously accepted our request on very short notice, and came over to meet them before checking in on them later. She gave updates with pictures and made us feel reassured that our dogs were in great hands!”
“Kayla did a great job watching our cats while we were on vacation. Communication was easy. She gave us updates and pictures of our shy cats. We will definitely use Kayla again. Kelli”

I highly recommend Jamie!”
“We were on our way to the Ark Encounter and needed a place for our two dogs to stay. Mariah and Anthony were kind enough to take them in for the day. Our dogs felt right at home. They have a nice fenced in back yard and was very safe for them to play in. Their two German Shepherds were very nice and friendly and got a long great with our two dogs. Mariah and Anthony were very friendly and we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again if we were in the area.”

About: I've always have dog in my life, and my passion for dogs will last forever. My friend told me that I don't treat my dogs as dogs but babies. Remember, a genuine love for animals and a commitment to their well-being are at the heart of any successful pet care experience! I'm currently full time house wife with 2 dogs, no kids. My daily routines are my dogs, so I have a lot of time to watch yours too! We walk 4 times a day, and enjoy homemade dog treat and food. I don't have yard so I walk dogs instead (3-4 times a day), and I always clean them right after walking so they are allowed on furniture. Remember, a walk a day keep vet away. I do have crates if needed.

About: We’ve had animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm in southern KY I am used to caring for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, birds, miniature pigs, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, etc! Our animals have always been apart of our family and go where we go! Our animals are allowed on the furniture, sleep in our bed, and love to visit our parents house! I am a stay at home mom so adding a pet into our daily routine is actually pretty easy! We’re used to care for our own dog! We just have them join whatever we’re doing which makes it easier. I have two Littles who love to play outside and take them walks so I usually just have our pups tag along! Our pups routine is usually out to pee in the morning, a walk after her breakfast, lots of outdoor play or sunbathe time while me and my two kiddos play our back, another walk once the kids take their naps, more play time with the kids, another walk after dinner, then a pee break before we get into bed for the night! I’m home all day as a stay at home mom and my husband is fully remote so our pup is used to having somewhere there for whatever she needs or when we do go out and about if we’re able to we take her! Our dog frequents our parents house for even more cuddles and play! Animals are always part of the family on our end.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life. We currently have 4 dogs of our own. Pets are allowed on the furniture, in the bed with us and we love cuddles! We have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of neighbors with dogs. They love to run the fence line. I am home outside of errands and can manage your dogs while you are at work. They will have frequent potty breaks and lots of room to play. Dogs are apart of the family. They are allowed on the furniture and the beds, we have extra play space and the house is baby proof.
About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely loves animals and treats every pet like family. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I focus on making both pets and owners feel safe, relaxed, and cared for from day one. I have experience caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs — including administering medications, working with reactive dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I understand that every pet is unique, and I’m patient, attentive, and committed to creating a calm, positive environment where they feel secure and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime, or simply wants extra affection and attention, I tailor my care to fit their individual routine and personality. I’m confident reading body language and helping nervous or high-energy pets feel safe and understood. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I also make it a priority to keep routines consistent to help reduce stress and make the experience as comfortable as possible for your pet. My goal is simple: to give your pet a loving, stress-free experience while giving you total peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! I currently stay at home so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, loving care for your pets. I’m available for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-in visits throughout the week and weekends. Your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked — I make it a priority to give each animal personalized attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m also happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medication routines, and special care instructions to help your pet feel comfortable and at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel secure and loved while you’re away. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. I treat every pet like family and always follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding routines, exercise needs, medications, and preferred sleeping arrangements.
About: I began professionally caring for animals 10 years ago when I got a job at PetSmart as a Pet Care associate! From there, I became a kennel technician at one of the top rated veterinary clinics in Cincinnati, Animal Care Center, and after a year of working there as a kennel technician they trained me to be a veterinary technician. I then had my first son and stayed home with him and had a farm with pigs, chickens, and all kinds of wonderful animals! When I decided to rejoin the work force, of course I went back to what I love most, caring for animals. I worked at two different kennels full time and helped manage one of them. I am able to give medications to pets and I’m comfortable giving insulin shots. If you’re interested in drop-ins for medication only while you’re at work or out, I can do that! I’m available any time, just discuss with me what would work best for you. During overnight stays, I will fill out a report to return to you so you will have complete details of how your pet was while you’re away! I’m also willing to FaceTime and send pictures so you know that your pet is safe and sound. Housemates would be my loving and gentle 5 year old son and my fiancé. I have a small chihuahua myself who is very friendly with all other pets. Since I do have children, any pets staying at my home must be child friendly. I’m always available whenever you need me. I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m very flexible with my schedule. Short notice or planning months in advance? I’m here! I have two children who love pets and give them plenty of friendly attention. I also have a chihuahua who gets along with other dogs but is convinced she’s truly a cat so she doesn’t play much! Pets remain leashed at all times during walks and get walked multiple times a day during pet-sitting.
“Lisa was great! Professional but friendly. You can tell she loves what she does. It's good to know that we can take A-day trip and our babies are being cared for versus cooped up at home. We definitely recommend her and will use her again when we're in the area.”
About: I've had pets my whole life and absolutely love animals! I have a ton of experience with all types of animals and absolutely will love yours like my own! I have worked with animals from babies to elderly and have provided many aspects of care and maintenance. I am home almost all day everyday unless running errands, which never take me long. I will have plenty of time to play with your pets and spend time with them! I am available for house sitting, walking, and check ins throughout the weekend. I have 3 of my own dogs. 2 high energy GSPs that require lots of exercise and attention, as well as a Chihuahua who is an old lady who loves attention and her alone time. I am open to introducing them if you want to work on socialization! I also have experience with kennel and potty training.

About: Hello my name is Tyler. I’m 40 yrs old and I love spending time with dogs. I have been a dog owner and have trained all my own dogs. Currently I’m unemployed due to having brain surgery at the end of 24’ and then the follow up treatments taking most of 25’. So I have lotsa time, attention, and love to give your pet(s). This is actually my attempt at getting back into the working world. Can’t imagine a much better way to ease back into work than to help some people out with their pet care needs. I have a park walking distance from my house that I can take dogs to run around and use the bathroom and I live in a good area for walks. I am well versed on typical dog etiquette in public around other people and animals. I have experience with all types of dogs large and small. I’m a big guy and can handle the larger breeds pretty well usually, but also caring for the little ones as well. I always prioritize the pet(s) health and safety first, and then having some fun second :). I would love to provide a safe and relaxing spot for your pet(s). Also FYI - for boardings if pickup on the last day is after noon I will ask for a day fee of $35. I’m currently unemployed due to brain surgery I had this time last year to remove a large cancerous tumor. Luckily I recovered beautifully and quickly and am still fully functional, minus a little extra forgetfulness but nothing bad at all. So I’m available all days of the week, and have all my time, attention and love to give your pet(s). I’m very experienced with dogs of all types large, small, u name it. I’m a big guy at 6’4” and about 225 lbs so I can handle em all. I’m also rather calm and quiet which I believe helps animals feel at ease around me. I’d take care of yours as if they were my own! :) I take as much precaution as I can with all animals certainly someone else’s. The animals safety and health are my number one concern when caring for someone’s loved pet(s).
About: I have owned and helped take care of my family’s animals since I was around 6 years old. I am a dog mom to a 4 year old golden retriever and she is my world. I would love to do anything that I can to help you and take care of your pet while you are away or just need an extra hand. I can go on walks with them, play with them, feed them, and keep them safe! I can also help bathe them and keep them groomed by brushing them. I am a photographer so I have relatively open availability. If you’re interested in hiring me, please let me know and we can talk about your pet and your expectations for me as a sitter. Looking forward to talking with you and meeting with your pets!! My dog is my entire world so I know exactly how anyone who trusts their pet with anyone else feels. There is so much love and support coming from my side of taking care of them. I talk to them like they are people and give them reassurance when it rains or when they miss you. For stop ins, it’s super easy for me to sit with them for up to an hour, giving them affection and company. For my own dog, we go on walks a lot and do tricks and puzzles to ensure brain exercise during the day. I do not have a fenced in yard yet, but we do walk with a leash around the town as well as use a beeping and vibrating collar to keep pets in our yard.
About: I am currently a pre-vet student in college. I have worked with several animals most commonly being cats and dogs! I own 3 dogs and a cat of my own! I volunteer at 2 shelters regularly.

I will start working at the Cincinnati Zoo soon so I should have normal shifts. Once I start school I typically don’t do anything other than focus on school so I am very available to care for your animals! I am always just as caring about your place of living and will do my best to keep things clean as I stay there! Hopefully cleaner than when I started! I know animals can be messy and uncomfortable with new people but I will always put forth effort in a safe and clean environment for your fur ball!
“She was on time and understood my instructions and handled everything perfectly! She also didn’t have an issue walking my larger American bullies who pull and handled them with more patience than I do. I will be using her again for sure and my dogs loved her!”

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life, and for the last five years I’ve been the “call Lacey, she’ll do it!” pet sitter for family and friends. I’m obsessed with animals, and I take spoiling them very seriously. I love being outside, so your pup will get all the walks, sniff breaks, and adventures their heart desires. Your pets will get cuddles, playtime, and very special treatment every time! I also go by the name “Lu” so if you hear me called that it’s still me!

About: Hi! My name is Laura, and caring for animals has been a passion of mine for over 10 years. I have experience with many different kinds of animals and personalities, and I truly enjoy making sure every pet I care for feels comfortable, safe, and loved while their owner is away. Whether your pet loves long walks, active playtime, quiet companionship, or extra cuddles, I’m happy to adapt to their routine and needs. I understand that every animal is unique, and I take the time to learn their personality so they feel relaxed and happy while in my care. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to providing the same level of care I would want for my own pets. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. With more than a decade of experience caring for animals, I’m comfortable with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. References are available upon request, and I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I currently work part-time, so I have quite a bit flexibility to accommodate different schedules. This includes early morning, late nights and weekends. I am available for drop ins/walks as well as pet sitting overnight. I am very thorough when following instructions for individual pets at your home. I will always put their safety first and make sure they are secure in my care.
About: I've had a house full of pets since I was born. We always had at least 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 turtles, and other pets in the house. Chance was my main pet (pitbull) who I personally trained and took care of from the age of 10 until I left for college. I now have a chihuahua named Taako and a fluffy cat named Magnus that I take care of. I've also helped watch cats and dogs of family and friends. I also spend my free time volunteering at Lake Humane Society. I have experience in reading cat temperment (don't want to get bit in a shelter!) and training dogs. I work full time 9-5 during the week from home but I can help during a lunch break, after work any time, or on weekends! I will work to whatever your comfort level is for your pets! My chihuahua is distrustful of strangers so I entirely understand if your animals need some time to warm up to me.

“Amazing sitter! My dogs were happy and relaxed after staying with her which tells me that they stayed active and engaged through their visit! She let us see the space they’d be staying in, the dog park and other areas they’d be accessing. It was a beautiful home and she was very friendly and attentive! Will absolutely be using her services again!”
“Tammi was an amazing host to our dog. This was our first time leaving her with someone besides a family member or friend, and we wanted to make sure that she was with someone who would give her plenty of love and attention. I read many reviews and did a lot of research before choosing Tammi to care for her. After our initial meet-and-greet, I knew that she would be perfect. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and is very experienced. Macy is anxious in new surroundings, and Tammi did a great job of helping her acclimate to a new situation. She sent us photos and updates regularly. Knowing that Macy was doing well helped us to enjoy our vacation. Highly recommend Tammi!”
“Scout and Fergus were treated to a stay with Lindsay and family during our visit to Cincinnati. We were so very pleased with the treatment and care given our dogs. We will not only use Lindsey again, but consider more visits to the area having confidence that our pets have made new friends. I’ll never forget Lindsay’s 4 year old waving and shouting “I love you” to the dogs as we drove away. Big smiles. Thanks guys. They love you too sweetie.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Katie! She took care of our 3 dogs (including our giant Great Dane puppy—lots of energy and slobber 😅) for 10 days and went above and beyond the entire time. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. All of our dogs came home happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. You can tell Katie truly cares about the animals she watches. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!”

“**Review for Jamie:** Jamie was fantastic! She watched our dog Sarge for a full week and did an amazing job. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which made us feel completely comfortable and at ease while we were away. Sarge clearly had a great time too. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”

“I cannot express enough how grateful I am to Leann for taking such wonderful care of my dog, Abi, for an entire month. From the very beginning, Leann stepped in on extremely short notice, accepting our last-minute reservation without hesitation. This was such a relief for us, and from that moment on, Leann exceeded all our expectations. Throughout the entire month, Leann maintained constant communication with us, ensuring that we were always updated on Abi's well-being. She sent us frequent photos and videos, often more than once a day, allowing us to see how happy and comfortable Abi was under her care. It was clear from the start that Abi wasn’t just being taken care of; she was being genuinely loved and cherished. Leann didn’t just meet Abi’s basic needs; she went above and beyond to make sure Abi had plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. Seeing Abi’s joyful expressions and playful moments in the photos and videos made us feel incredibly reassured, knowing she was in such good hands. Leann's commitment to Abi's happiness and her ability to create a warm, loving environment truly set her apart. Not only did Leann provide exceptional care, but she also brought a sense of peace and security to us during a time when we needed it most. Her professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction. We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver for Abi, and we will absolutely be turning to Leann again in the future. Thank you, Leann, for everything you did for our family. You are truly a gem!”
“Rachel was great with our Moon. She sent pics throughout the entire weekend stay, from cuddling on the couch with her mom to a chewy unboxing! We’ve left our dog with other sitters before. It was obvious at pickup how much Moon enjoyed being with Rachel and the rest of the household. Would definitely recommend!”
“Emily was the best person we could’ve asked for, for our sweet boy to stay with. It was a last minute request and Emily was very accommodating from adjusting the times we needed to pickup and drop off. She kept him active with walks, playing outside, and getting to interact with other dogs. She sent multiple updates including pictures and videos which eased my mind with our dog being in a new environment. Everest came home happy, well loved, and worn out. Emily treated him like her own. We would DEFINITELY book with her again.”
“We appreciate Mariah and Anthony for being super flexible with taking care of our fur babies last minute! They accommodated for our family and took great care. Thank you guys!”
“Hailey was the perfect place to leave our cat Ginger while on vacation for 2 weeks in Italy. We had great peace of mind knowing that she recieved great care and attention. Will use Hailey again and highly recommended for your pets.”
“Jamie was wonderful with our dogs while we were visiting the Creation and Ark museum from out of town. She communicated with us before and during our dog's stay. She worked with our drop off and pick up hours, and took great care of our pets. We would absolutely use her again!”
“My dog was welcomed graciously by Joe & Tasha into their home! I met Joe & Tasha prior to booking at the dog park where our dogs were able to meet and was immediately comfortable with them taking my dog for the long weekend. They were quick to respond with communications leading up to the weekend as well as updates throughout. My dog is a Siberian Husky with lots of energy and came home exhausted from all the fun!!”
“Amanda & Donnie took great care of our two dogs while we were gone. We got communication and pictures from them every day. Our dogs, one of which is a senior dog on many medications were cared for as if they were their own dog. They took extra special care of our anxious dog with lots of storms and 4th of July fireworks while we were gone. We felt at ease knowing how well they were cared for while we were gone for 10 days. I would highly recommend them and will use them again.”
