“Amanda and Mike are awesome!! They truly care about your fur babies when you are away and treat them as their own. I did not worry one bit while my girl was with them. I have found my new fur babysitter!”
“Chrissy and her family made our first Rover experience so wonderful from start to finish. We felt comfortable with her right away and could see how much Ramona liked her (and Tommy) too! :) Really appreciated the updates and photos throughout the week. We highly recommend Chrissy and will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Bill and Haley are more than I could ask for in dog sitters… once after my fight got delayed, they were willing to bring my dog Sadie out to the car at 1 am, so I wouldn’t have to drive back the next morning. They go above and beyond in attention, care and kindness. I absolutely highly recommend their services!”
“Amy is the best and we are so grateful that she takes great care of Toby for us. If you are looking for someone to care for your dog the way that you do Amy and her family are the best option out there! Thanks again Amy!”
“Angel was absolutely wonderful. Tatum had the best time with her and her family. She was super responsive and really put my mind at ease as this was our first time leaving for an extended period of time!”
“**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!”
“Tammi and her family were wonderful with my little girl Hazel. This was my first time using Rover and first time ever being away from Hazel. I was worried about being away from her, but she absolutely loved her time at Tammi’s. It was like she had her own little vacation. I received updates from Tammi on how Hazel was doing which was great. I think Hazel misses all of the other dogs she got to run around and play with. I can’t recommend Tammi enough and would not hesitate leaving Hazel in her care in the future.”
“Karen was amazing with my high energy fur baby! She provided updates throughout the week and genuinely loved my dog. She reinforced her training, not allowing her to go wild.I’d definitely book with Karen again… I have a Weimaraner and not just anyone can manage a Weim! Karen is top notch..”
“This was our first time with Dana and Jason, who were great. We were very comfortable with leaving Ellie there overnight. Dana sent pictures and gave us updates. We will be using them again in July.”
“Rebecca was wonderful with Fiona! She kept us updated with photos and messages, took great care of her, and made sure she was comfortable and happy. We really appreciated her kindness and attention to detail. We would definitely recommend her and book with her again! ❤️”
“Thank you Jane for taking such good care of Snowflake and sending us updates everyday. She looked happy with you and your 2 dogs. I’m glad she adjusted so well in your house. She will come back again. Thank you for everything.”
“Hayley was fantastic! Setting up a meet and greet was incredibly easy, and she was so accommodating and friendly right off the bat. She has a very calm, friendly, and grounding presence that our dog took to immediately. Everything went perfectly while we were away, and she was excellent at communicating, sending photos, and she followed all of our routines perfectly. It gave us so much peace of mind to know our Stanley was in such good hands. We would definitely book with Hayley again without hesitation!”
“Patricia was so sweet with our Milo! She was extremely responsive and provided lots of picture updates while we were away. Milo doesn’t do well with other dogs, and she was very accommodating with ensuring he wasn’t around other dogs. He was very comfortable with her - well definitely be happy for him to stay with her in the future.”
“My two boys loved their week with Katie. This was their first stay with them and they were comfy from the beginning. She sent pictures daily and constant updates. Drop off and pick up were very easy and she even easily accommodated our friend doing the pick up for us. We already plan to have our pups stay with her in the future. Thank you, Katie! Scout and Indy will miss you until next time!”
“Amanda was our of town but Donnie and their kids took great care of Stuart. This was his second stay with them and when we got to their house he was scrambling to get to the door, so I knew he must have had a good experience the first time. Nice, friendly family and I have no doubt Stuart received the best treatment.”
“Jessica and her family were the best sitters for Maggy! They they kind, communicative, professional, and gave our dog the best long-weekend! Would definitely consider using her again!”
“Such an amazing experience! Our dogs loved being there they got a spa day! And a nice hike in they were definitely worn out when they got home which I loved coming back from a trip! Drop off and pick up was very easy. We absolutely will book them again.”

“Jaci was wonderful with my blond golden retriever! She went above my expectations and communicated with multiple pictures every visit and even made me an adorable video compilation. I'm very thankful to have her as a dog sitter.”
“I booked Haley at the last minute for drop in visits due to a last minute change in plans of mine. She did an amazing job. She is so professional and my dog loved her. I really appreciate her!”
About: I’ve consistently taken care of cats for friends of the family. I have experience with both older cats and young ones. I love spending time with cats. I have lived in a home while taken care of cats or have done the daily check up for cats.
“Allie was amazing and I could not recommend her highly enough!! She took the best care of our 4 cats for 2 weeks while we were out of the country. One of our cats had recent major surgery and needs medications three times daily. She managed to give him his pills and oral liquid every day, which we ourselves sometimes struggle to get him to take! I was very nervous leaving him but was so reassured but how happy and comfortable he was with Allie. Our cats are all rescues and are very shy and nervous around new people, they often don't come out for a petsitter. All 4 of them came up to her for cuddles and were the most relaxed we've ever seen them with a new person. She clearly made a lot of effort spending time with them that they became so comfortable with her. Allie's communication was amazing and we came back to lovely clean litter trays and an emptied litter bin. We are so happy to have found someone that takes such great care of our fur babies!”
“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!”
About: I have 7 years of experience pet setting throughout Northern Kentucky & Cincinnati, caring for animals with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’ve cared for pets belonging to professional athletes, as well as senior pets who need a little extra attention and patience. I’m comfortable giving medications, managing multiple pets, following specific routines, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I make sure to keep owners updated with pictures and messages throughout their time away, so they always know how their pets are doing and can see they’re happy and comfortable. I truly treat every pet like my own and always make their care my top priority.
“Hannah is absolutely INCREDIBLE. She loved on our teething 3 month old Aussie with so much grace. She sends lots of updates which is great for us because we always feel bad leaving her. Thank you Hannah for your patience and time! We will be a repeat customer for sure!”
“Jennifer was great with our cats while we were on vacation. Good communication. Sent pictures everyday so we could see our cats happy and safe Will definitely book with her again”
“Gwendolyn was amazing with our girl Yuki! She went above and beyond caring for her. She provided lots of updates and photos every day, and alerted us to any issues going on immediately. I would 100% hire her again for our pet sitting needs!”
“Ashley was awesome. I would definitely recommend her and book her again! She was super attentive and caring to our dog while we were away. She sent pics and took our dog for a walk everyday. Super kind and responsive. No issues at all. 😊”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life! I currently work at a dog daycare and have been there for about a year and a half which has been a great learning experience for different breeds! I’m currently working 2 part-time jobs, so my schedule may be a bit crazy for a short time but I am currently available 12:30-2:30 p.m. on weekdays and possibly some times on the weekend as well! I am very patient with all pets as I know they have different personalities. I will provide the safest environment possible for your furry friends. I do have one cat but she mainly keeps to herself.
“Patrice is amazing. It's clear that she truly cares about our kitties. She always takes the time to try to slowly befriend our skittish little guy & makes sure Karl gets his meds. Knowing she's there for them lets us fully relax on vacation.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for multiple cats at once (up to 13!), most of them since birth and I’ve also spent over two years fostering, so I’m very comfortable with different temperaments, routines, and needs. I understand how important it is to be patient and let cats warm up at their own pace. I’ve always had a special love for cats and have hands-on experience caring for all kinds of personalities—from super social to shy and independent 🐾 I’m experienced with medication administration, feeding routines, litter box care, giving lots of love (when they want it 😊), and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers their space, I always adjust to what makes them happiest.
About: i have taken care of a variety of cats with diverse ranges in size, personality, and friendly towards both strangers and close relatives. I have trained my own cat, Korin (aka Mufassa) well! To the point he’s comfortable with commands although he does not always obey! 🤣 he’s got a very rogue personality. Korin is over a decade old at this point but still in prime condition and health! I honed my cat caretaker skills over the years with many feline furry friends, and will likely always have one in my life as cats bring a certain balance to life that is hard to otherwise find. Cats tend to be the easiest animal to care for from my experience, as they are the most obvious to read. You know fairly quickly where you stand, with both dogs and cats, and no matter where you stand you can build from that by maintaining constant gas in your JEEP Jesus Enthusiasm Encouragement Peace Long as you operate in the JEEP everything will be exactly what it is meant to be🎶
About: What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies and young dogs who need extra patience and consistency to senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, extra bathroom breaks, or additional attention. I’m also happy working with shy, anxious, or nervous pets and always let them warm up to me at their own pace. I believe the little things make a big difference—keeping pets on their normal routine, providing plenty of play and affection, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Most importantly, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal. I take that responsibility seriously and strive to give every pet the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m dependable, flexible, and able to provide consistent walks, playtime, attention, and loving care throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while following each pet’s routine. I give plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, while respecting their individual needs.
“Tereasa is great with our dogs! She is reliable and a great communicator. She lets you know how the drop in visit went and provides plenty of pictures of her visit. Highly recommended!!”

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.
“Kymberlee, was a God sent. We could not leave our Nordic breed dog in the RV even with AC as too many variables. I connected with Kymberlee and she was very welcoming and accepting on last. She is a great host for pets, loving and extremely caring. Our Louie had a great time and we received pictures and updates during the day. Highly give Kymberlee an above excellent rating”
“Jamie was so kind and flexible to help me when our family was going through some medical issues. She took good care of our dog, was an excellent communicator and sent us lots of pictures. We felt he was in great hands. We plan to use her again.”
About: My husband and I are a team who absolutely love caring for dogs! I’ve been around dogs since I was 12, and he’s been around dogs and animals his entire life. Together, we’ve spent years raising and loving our own three sweet fur babies. We know how important patience, kindness, and consistency are when it comes to caring for pups. Whether your dog is shy and sensitive or full of energy and playfulness, we’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. We treat every dog like part of our family! Pet care fits seamlessly into our daily life since I work from home. I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day — whether it’s regular walks, play breaks, feeding, or just being there to offer comfort and company. My husband and I coordinate our schedules so there’s always someone home, meaning your dog will never be left alone and will always have company, care, and lots of love. In my home, pets have plenty of space to feel comfortable and relaxed. We live in a quiet neighborhood with a fully fenced yard—perfect for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Inside, we have a spacious 4-bedroom house where dogs can explore, nap, or cuddle up wherever they feel most at home. We provide a calm, loving environment with consistent routines, personalized attention, and lots of affection. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, we make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved.
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 have always had dogs and cats in my life and many other animals . I currently have 5 dogs, 3 cats and a bunny. I take pet sitting very seriously. I will take the best care of your pets when I am spending time with them. It brings joy to help others get the best care for their pets while they are away. I would prefer to take care of your pets in your home because that is where I think they feel most comfortable. However, I do watch dogs in my home and after a successful meet and greet with your dog(s) and mine we can set up a booking at my house.
“Leeann was amazing with a last minute booking and being so flexible on drop off and pick up times. Thank you for finding a calm room for her to stay where she was comfortable too!”
About: We only take dogs up to 30lbs due to my daughter being afraid of most bigger dogs despite us having one of our own. We will give consideration to dogs over that weight if we feel it’s a good fit. We have recently begun boarding in our home again and have adopted a new goldendoodle Lincoln on 3/22/24. He will be about 60lbs once full grown He’s sweet and full of energy and loves to play with all dogs. I have had my own dogs for about 11 years and have also taken care of friends pets although usually in their own homes.

“Angel is wonderful! We've been having a hard time giving our dog the attention and structure he needs during the day since we had our baby, so being able to place him with Angel a few days a week has been a lifesaver! She is very kind, and accommodating to our dogs specific quirks. Thanks Angel!”
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.
“We needed someone to watch our puppy on our wedding day and were reluctant to leave her with anyone. Karen was great! Pippa warmed right up to her, Karen sent us a few encouraging texts during the day. Would absolutely use her again!”
About: Loving, Reliable Dog Care Since 1998 My passion for caring for dogs began in 1998 when I started walking dogs in Washington, DC. What began as a simple love for dogs quickly grew into a rewarding business built on trust, reliability, and genuine care.

I provide dependable, personalized care so pet parents can feel confident knowing their dogs are safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.

My house is free for your dog to run around.
“Zeus has been going to Mary’s on and off for 10 years now. I never ever worry when she has him. He comes home tired happy and well taken care of. There is pictures and texts during the day. He is always loved like her own there. Wouldn’t recommend anyone else.”
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.
“First time booking with Kate, and it was pretty last minute. She was very nice, easy to communicate with, and took great care of Newton. Everything went smoothly, and I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. Would definitely recommend!”
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.

“What a delight! Senator had a wonderful time with Mindy and canine babies. Mindy was so kind and ready to spend time with him. He was exhausted afterward, but….that’s a compliment. Hope to visit again soon.”

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).
“Brian was fantastic - very responsive and related great with our dogs. We’re very particular about who we entrust with looking after our fur babies and couldn’t have asked for a better fit. Would definitely recommend Brian to anyone that’s looking for someone to treat their pet like his own.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always been told I have a “way with animals.” I have cared for small, medium, and large dogs before. Whether it’s a tiny tea cup dog or a large lab with more energy that they can contain, I’ve seen it all. I’m currently a senior in high school and play club volleyball. I have a part time job but am looking to gain more experience before college. Being a pet sitter and walking fits great for me since it’s a flexible schedule. I already take care of my own dog and cat at home and would love to add more pets to that list. As an athlete I am able to match your pets energy. I’m able to run around with them and throw their toys for as long as they may need it. I’m always down to explore new places on walks in any weather.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and started pet sitting for neighbors at 12 years old. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, and other small pets. I’ve volunteered walking dogs and caring for cats in animal shelters and am comfortable administering medications and caring for both young and senior pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of dependable care, communication, and maintaining your pet’s routine while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine. I work part-time at a café, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays. Outside of work, I prioritize providing attentive care, exercise, enrichment, and companionship to the pets I care for. I communicate regularly with owners and do my best to maintain each pet’s normal routine while they’re away. My priority is always keeping pets safe, comfortable, and maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and household rules. During visits, I make sure pets have secure access to appropriate areas, fresh water, and plenty of attention. I provide regular photo and video updates so owners can feel confident their pets are receiving excellent care while they are away. I am experienced with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles, and amphibians, and I adapt my care to each pet’s individual needs and personality.
About: For my entire life, I have grown up with a dog in my family home. I have experienced first hand how to care for a 2 month old puppy and a 13 year old senior dog. Since the age of 16, I have also watched family friends dogs, either doing overnight stays or routinely check-ins with the dogs. As a graduate student, I have classes on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. On those days, your pup may be home for a few hours while I’m in class, but I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and potty breaks before I leave and as soon as I return. Outside of my class schedule, I have a flexible routine and spend most of my time at home, so I’ll be able to provide lots of companionship, playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow all of your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any other special care your pet needs. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel the most comfortable. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I love cleaning and doing daily chores, so that will never be a problem for me! I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. My priority is making sure both you and your pet have peace of mind.
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.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and other pets since I was very young. I love all pets, and I’m very reliable and patient. I go to school Monday through Friday at Xavier University. I am available during most hours of the day, depending on the week. I am very flexible to help fit your needs. I have a lot of free time, and I also have two of my own dogs whom I spend most of my time with. I love walks, and playing with pups!
About: What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies and young dogs who need extra patience and consistency to senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, extra bathroom breaks, or additional attention. I’m also happy working with shy, anxious, or nervous pets and always let them warm up to me at their own pace. I believe the little things make a big difference—keeping pets on their normal routine, providing plenty of play and affection, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Most importantly, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal. I take that responsibility seriously and strive to give every pet the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m dependable, flexible, and able to provide consistent walks, playtime, attention, and loving care throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while following each pet’s routine. I give plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, while respecting their individual needs.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was little. I remember getting my very first puppy as a kid. Dogs have always been my best friend and I wouldn’t want it any other way. I work from home so I can be available for the times you need for me to watch your best friend. My doggie always has care if I need to be gone. My dog goes to doggy daycare to meet new friends and be friendly around other people and other dogs. We go on walks twice a day and even something three times a day. I will give your best friend lots of cuddles.
About: I’ve been puppy raising my entire life. I can understand dogs & their body language well. I know what they need before they need it! Friends, family and coworkers come to me for play dates, dog walking, simple training questions, boarding, pet sitting & drop in visits for when they can’t always take their pet along with them. I am currently completing a certification in dog training, nutrition & behavior. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles & birds. I live pet care. I am currently available on weekends & mornings. Looking to cut back to part time soon to have more time to explore my passions. In my home they would be taken out on a long line if not on a walk. We would do stimulating mental games throughout the time spent when we are inside along with down time on their own raised bed. Inside tethering if needed. In a clients home we follow all care instructions provided. I work remotely so my schedule is pretty flexible as far as boarding, walks & daycare goes. My schedule is completely accommodating to your pets needs. I am certified in Pet CPR & first aid. Your pets safety is most important & & I strive to do everything to preserve that.
About: Hi there! I’m Steven - lifelong dog lover, experienced sitter and a pet parent of two sweet pups: a Bernese and a Chihuahua. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone new, and my goal is to make every pup feel right at home and every owner complete at ease. With years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I have handled everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. I’m patient and love learning each dog’s quirk and routines. I work from home most days, which means your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day. On the days I am in the office (usually Tuesday and Wednesday) I can adjust my schedule as needed to fit your pet’s routine. I live in a safe, pet friendly community in Colerain with plenty of green spaces for walks. I also love taking dogs to parks for a change of scenery or staying cozy indoors for extra belly rubs! Safety always come first. All outdoor time is fully supervised and your pup will never be off leash unless in a safely enclosed area. I truly treat every dog as my own and want to make your time away stress free. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! My day pretty much revolves around dogs — and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Since I work from home most of the week, I’m able to keep a flexible schedule full of walks, playtime, and cuddles. My own pups keep me active and in a great routine, so adding another furry friend into the mix feels natural. Even on my in-office days, I make sure every dog gets the attention and consistency they’re used to. I care for every dog as if they were my own. At my home, pups are part of the family — they can lounge, play, and get lots of attention throughout the day. I make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe, and I always supervise outdoor time. When I’m watching pets in their own home, I do my best to keep everything just how they like it. I stick to their regular routine, give them lots of love, and keep you in the loop with updates and pictures so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.
About: I am a dog and cat owner. I am very responsible and fun. I think that pets are not just “pets” and that they are family and should be taken care of as so. I have experience watching three different families animals. I watched a families dog for 3 months when they went over seas. I try my best to be flexible but I do attend nursing school. Outside of my classes I typically have an open schedule. I am dependable when it comes to being punctual and completing any and all tasks. I set goals for myself and I always give 110 percent in whatever I am doing. I am comfortable with any sized dog and also any other pets. I am also comfortable with any age of the animal that I am taking care of. I work from home and build my own schedule. I have flexibility in my schedule to take pets to dog parks and out for a long walk. I respect that pets are most comfortable in their own space with their own smells and routines. I follow your instructions closely — from feeding times and walk routes to any quirks or commands your pet knows. I treat your home with care and always leave it exactly as I found it.

“Amanda and Mike are awesome!! They truly care about your fur babies when you are away and treat them as their own. I did not worry one bit while my girl was with them. I have found my new fur babysitter!”
“Chrissy and her family made our first Rover experience so wonderful from start to finish. We felt comfortable with her right away and could see how much Ramona liked her (and Tommy) too! :) Really appreciated the updates and photos throughout the week. We highly recommend Chrissy and will definitely be booking again in the future!”

“**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!”
“Tammi and her family were wonderful with my little girl Hazel. This was my first time using Rover and first time ever being away from Hazel. I was worried about being away from her, but she absolutely loved her time at Tammi’s. It was like she had her own little vacation. I received updates from Tammi on how Hazel was doing which was great. I think Hazel misses all of the other dogs she got to run around and play with. I can’t recommend Tammi enough and would not hesitate leaving Hazel in her care in the future.”
“Karen was amazing with my high energy fur baby! She provided updates throughout the week and genuinely loved my dog. She reinforced her training, not allowing her to go wild.I’d definitely book with Karen again… I have a Weimaraner and not just anyone can manage a Weim! Karen is top notch..”

She has a very calm, friendly, and grounding presence that our dog took to immediately. Everything went perfectly while we were away, and she was excellent at communicating, sending photos, and she followed all of our routines perfectly. It gave us so much peace of mind to know our Stanley was in such good hands. We would definitely book with Hayley again without hesitation!”
“Patricia was so sweet with our Milo! She was extremely responsive and provided lots of picture updates while we were away. Milo doesn’t do well with other dogs, and she was very accommodating with ensuring he wasn’t around other dogs. He was very comfortable with her - well definitely be happy for him to stay with her in the future.”
“My two boys loved their week with Katie. This was their first stay with them and they were comfy from the beginning. She sent pictures daily and constant updates. Drop off and pick up were very easy and she even easily accommodated our friend doing the pick up for us. We already plan to have our pups stay with her in the future. Thank you, Katie! Scout and Indy will miss you until next time!”
“Amanda was our of town but Donnie and their kids took great care of Stuart. This was his second stay with them and when we got to their house he was scrambling to get to the door, so I knew he must have had a good experience the first time. Nice, friendly family and I have no doubt Stuart received the best treatment.”
