“Chrissy is Wonderful !!Keno is a very picky Dog in his eating and taking his medicine … Chrissy was able to take the challenge and accomplished well in both areas !! I’m always comfortable in leaving my 14 year old Cockapoo with her !!!”
“Gabriel was great in taking extra steps to care for Coco while I was out of the country. He sent pictures and updates that put me at ease! He has a wonderful home and yard that my dog enjoyed. I definitely would recommend him for your animals stay. I knew Coco was safe.”
“This was my first time booking with Rover. Michael set the bar high for future expectations. Michael was thorough and kind. Michael provided update pics which was very much appreciated. Michael treated our pup like it was his own. Highly recommend his family for your dog boarding needs!”
“Katie was great. Sent me updates everyday and treated my dogs like they were her own. I’ll definitely be reaching out and using her for her services again. Thanks again, you’re appreciated!”
“I highly highly recommend Karen. She truly loves dogs and knows what she’s doing. We are so grateful that we found her. She took time to meet with us and our dog before his 4 night stay. She made drop off and pick up seemless. She sent pictures and videos every day! Our boy looked genuinely happy in every picture. She even taught him some things! Kyro is a high energy dog and he came home absolutely spent. Karen is amazing.”
“Kara is amazing with my cat! She really knows what she’s doing. But on top of her animal cares, she’s also super nice and was willing to be flexible around my work schedule”
“Mary took care of our very energetic Sheepadoodles for 2 days. She sent several photos daily, and since her yard isn't fenced, she walked them separately on leash several times daily. Since it was really rainy, this wasn't an easy job... The dogs, who are a lively 45 and 55 pounds, played and enjoyed their time with Mary. Thanks so much for giving great care to our dogs!”
“John and Kelly took really great care of Koda! They kept us updated on how he was doing and gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation. We look forward to booking with them in the future since Koda enjoyed his stay so much!”
“This was our first time using Rover. We are so pleased with everything. The Stamms are so nice and took great care of Charlie. They sent us updates and pictures during his stay. He was very happy and relaxed when we picked him up! Usually we get the cold shoulder and ignored when we bored him… but not this time! We will definitely be booking with the Stamms in the future. It’s so refreshing and reassuring knowing our pet is safe and taken care of when we are out of town.”
“Abbie was amazing! From the time we did our meet-and-greet, we knew her home would be a great fit for Kobe. She sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend. Kobe had a blast playing with her dogs! She was also very accommodating to a modified pickup time after we experienced flight delays. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Leeann has cared for our girl, Cami, on two occasions, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! She provides excellent care, keeping us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos, which gives us such peace of mind while we’re away. Her communication is outstanding—always clear, timely, and professional. What truly sets Leeann apart is her dedication. When a snowstorm disrupted our travel plans, she didn’t hesitate to extend Cami’s stay for two extra days, ensuring she was safe and well cared for. That level of flexibility and kindness means the world to us. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely loves what she does, we wholeheartedly recommend Leeann. Your fur baby will be in the best hands!”
“We really appreciated the daily texts and pictures letting us know how our pups were doing! They seemed to have a fun time and we will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Brendan and his family made sure our pups were cared for and happy while we were on vacation. We appreciated his updates and wouldn’t hesitate to book him again!”
“Lisa is fabulous! Our pup had a great time and was definitely snuggled and loved on when she stayed there. We loved the daily photo updates! We will definitely be using Lisa again!”
“Bethany is amazing! She does a great job taking care of my dogs making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise with walks and playing in the backyard. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“She really takes care of my precious cat. I was away from home for a month and my cat was healthy. She takes care of him according to the plan we talked about and takes lots of pictures! If I had the chance again, I would choose her again! I really believe that she can help me take good care of the cat!”
“We had a great experience with our drop-in visits! Communication was excellent, our dog was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. We’d absolutely book again.”
“I brought my cat over there. Mary accepted my cat on just about no notice and kept him safe for 3 days. Mary was also very proactive in sending me photos to my phone. This was a nice gesture to keep my mind at ease that my cat was safe and it was also nice just receiving cute photos of my cat from time to time. Some of the photos included my cat bathing in the sun, resting on her couch, and pretty much just enjoying a little vacation. When I came to pick up my pet, she gave me the run down on his behavior and was also very kind enough to allow me to run around her house, move furniture, and to fetch my cat. If you have a pet, you can rest assure knowing Mary can take care of him while you are away. I cannot thank you enough. Will be seeing her in the event my cat needs another hotel. :)”
“As someone who used to provide Rover services, I was a little anxious about booking services myself. Yet, Anastasia's experience and comfort with a wide variety of animals put me at ease. She was just as warm and accommodating to my forever bunny and the rescued kitty who was dumped and now living in my office. Not only did both animals engage with her right away, Anastasia offered to try to help me find a home for the kitty. She provided thoughtful reports with words and pictures for her 2x/daily visits. Plus--and this is how I know she genuinely cares about animals--she took pictures of kitties she saw outside my apartment building and asked me about them. (They actually belong to my neighbor, but there's no evidence of that.)”
About: I’ve taken care of cats of every kind. Including having a cat growing up and while in college. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to check in, feed, and spend quality time with their pets while they’re away. I have experience with senior cats, giving medications, and understanding subtle feline body language. I truly enjoy creating a calm, safe, and comforting environment for each kitty I meet.

About: I’ve taken care of many different types of pets throughout my life…I’m aware that all animals are different and need special attention. I will give nothing but unconditional love to your pet! (-: Im currently working on my own interests, any time after 2pm on weekdays would be a great time for me to fulfill your pet care needs. Weekends are free too. I currently have a dog and a cat on five acres of land. My cat doesn’t go outside because of coyotes but my dog is very well behaved and will stay in our property line. Both are fed once a day and I tend to give them treats throughout the day. My dog is getting a bit older so he can’t make it on long walks like he used to but he still has his puppy energy every once in a while (:
About: I’ve had experience with nearly every type of animal from a very young age, including dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, mice, hamsters, chinchillas, lizards, and chickens! I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (chronic pain) so I don’t have a set job right now. This means I’m incredibly flexible with my time and can most likely show up whenever you need me!

“Kayla did an excellent job watching our kitties. She is very caring and even my shy cat came out to greet her! This is our second time using Kayla and we will definitely use her again.”
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: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my genuine passion and dedication to animals. Caring for dogs and cats isn't just a job for me—it's what I want to dedicate my life to. I currently serve as the General Manager of a pet lodge, where I've worked since July 2024. Prior to that, I gained valuable experience at both an animal hospital and another boarding facility. I have hands-on experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and everything in between, as well as dogs of all breeds and sizes and cats of all personalities. I am comfortable administering a wide variety of medications, including pills, tablets, insulin injections, eye medications, ear medications, and more. I take immense pride in providing exceptional care and treating every pet as if they were my own. It would be an honor to care for your furry family members, and I promise they will receive the top-notch, five-star care, attention, and love they deserve. I am currently the General Manager of a boarding, daycare, and grooming facility, where I have the opportunity to work with pets and their families every day. While I truly enjoy what I do, my long-term goal is to build something of my own. I am working toward starting my own pet care business and eventually opening my own boarding and daycare facility. My passion for animals and commitment to providing exceptional care drive me to continue learning, growing, and pursuing that dream. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I have four dogs and a cat of my own, so at this time I primarily offer drop-in visits and dog walking services in your home. This allows me to give your pets the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they deserve while keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether it's a daily walk, playtime, feeding, or simply spending quality time with them, I am committed to making sure your pets feel loved and well cared for while you're away.
About: I've taken care of cats since I was young . I now have 2 cats and they bring me so much joy. They have such unique personalities. I love helping my friends with their cats and feeding the cute neighborhood cats
“I liked Chloe the minute I met her. She came over for a pre visit to meet my cats and learn about their routine. Ava and Tucker warmed up to her right away and I knew they would be in good hands. Chloe arrived on schedule for four mornings and five evenings to feed, play with and attend the litter box. When I arrived home from my trip, the house was in order, and everything looked as I left it. I’ll definitely request Chloe again. 🏠😸👍🏻👍🏻”

“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.”
“Janice looked after our dog for a few hours during which she even took a dog for a walk. This was dog's first stay with Janice and we will definitely reach out again. We appreciate you!”

“We traveled from Michigan to explore the area and visit the Creation Museum. During our visit, Tyler provided outstanding care for our nervous dog. He ensured she enjoyed multiple walks each day, which she loves. Understanding her age, Tyler was flexible and allowed her to take her much-needed naps. Thanks to Tyler, we could fully enjoy ourselves knowing our dog was in great hands!”
“This was my first try at rover and I am so thankful Karen was able to be our first experience. I have only depended on family for care in the past but now am thankful I can find amazing people like Karen to help me when I’m in a pickle! She was so sweet and welcoming!”
About: I've always had a deep love for animals, and when it comes to dogs, I believe they deserve to be as pampered as if they were in their own home! Growing up with four dogs, I cherished the moments we spent playing in the backyard and the joy they showed when it was time for their tasty treats after dinner!

“Michael was great! He asked questions to know Rosie better. He kept in touch with us before her daycare date. During her stay he kept us up to date & sent pictures. We would definitely recommend them & would schedule with them again if we visit the area. It was a perfect situation for our Rosie! Thanks, Michael!”
About: I have fostered over 70 animals the past four alyears. Puppies, adult dogs kittens and cats. Also bunnies and guinea pigs! I have tons of experience with house training and crate training puppies. I volunteer at our local animal shelter weekly and have developed a strong bond with the rescue community. I also have experience administering medication. During the past two years I have met many animals , all with a different type of personality. I have been able to adapt and learn how to handle each unique personality. My time as a foster and shelter volunteer has really showed me what my true passion is! My schedule is very flexible and I'm usually able to accommodate last minute requests. Unless I have another client , my schedule is almost always open. I volunteer at the shelters on Tuesday mornings but I can always rearrange my volunteer days. My home is fenced in and I have crates for my own dogs, also extra crates for your dogs. My dogs have multiple play styles so I can adapt to just about any personality. I only ask that if your dogs are boarding in my home they are animal and kid friendly. If you're nervous about your dogs being around dogs you don't know, I understand. I can easily rotate the dogs time so they never even have to interact, as I have baby gates to keep them separated. I have a big fenced in yard so your dog will get plenty of play time. If you want boarding in your home I can do that too. I can provide plenty of love and play for them. Whatever you are comfortable with in your home just let me know! I also always will send tons of pictures. If you have puppies I can absolutely help with potty and also crate training if they aren't crate trained yet.
“So great! My puppy Steve loves going to Kimberly's house he has lots of playtime with the other dogs that are there, Kimberly keeps in contact with me sending pictures of my pup playing, she takes them on walks! I couldn't be more happy with the doggie daycare, Steve is much more happy and stimulated and I'm relaxed knowing he's being well taken care of and getting the love and attention he needs”
About: I’ve been involved with dog rescue for many years. I worked with virtually every type of dog there is. From shy, timid to very high energy. I’ve had dogs that had aggression issues. I worked with dogs on leash training, housebreaking, and socialization. I am retired. I have nothing but time on my hands! I volunteer Thursday mornings at an equine therapy barn. But I will still have time to take care of animals on Thursdays. I am open to caring for dogs in my home. But! They have to be dog and cat friendly. I would prefer not to have younger dogs, only because my dogs are older and don’t like young dogs, jumping all over them. My dogs are very dog friendly though. My cats are very dog friendly. In fact, they prefer dogs over our cats!
About: Hi my name is Patrice. I'm a veterinary technician who loves being with animals even outside of my normal work day. If I could I would adopt a million pets but unfortunately that's not an option. I take pride in being able to help care for pets outside of my own. There's nothing more fulfilling than being able to play with fur babies when the owners cannot do so because of work. I am able to provide exercise time, medication administration, ear cleaning, and basic grooming. If you are in need of any of the above services feel free to reach out to me. I would love to get to know you and your fur babies and develop a life long bond. Pet care fits into my daily routine perfectly. I'm always with pets even in my dreams. Rather I am walking pets or meeting up for grooming appointments, I'm always with pets. I get a background of the pets home life and mimic that while they are with me. Routine works best with most pets. When you switch up what they are used to they do not do well.
“Alij is such a sweet and caring sitter. She kept me updated and made me feel comfortable while I was away from my dogs. I’m so grateful for the great care she gave them, and I’ll definitely be booking her again.”
About: Hi! I’m Anna, a dependable and attentive dog sitter offering walks, drop-in visits, and in-home pet care. If you’re looking for someone reliable and caring to treat your dog like family, I’d love to help. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. I focus on calm, consistent care that keeps your dog comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I provide careful attention to feeding, walks, and instructions, and make sure pets get both exercise and companionship while you’re away. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your home and pet. I treat every dog with respect and genuine care, and I’m committed to a high-quality, reliable experience for both pets and owners. I have a flexible weekday schedule and am fully available during the day on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I structure my week around pet care, which allows me to provide consistent walks, drop-ins, and reliable attention without rushing. This helps me maintain a calm, dependable routine for each pet I care for. Safety, trust, and consistency are my top priorities when caring for pets in their home environment. I carefully follow all care instructions, maintain routines, and ensure pets are always secure during walks, feedings, and drop-in visits. I treat every home with respect and care, and I communicate regularly with updates so owners feel informed and at ease. My goal is to create a calm, reliable environment where pets feel safe and well cared for.
“David was great with Myles. He is already going to potty outside after just a week of training with David. I can already see a difference with his behavior and his separation anxiety and also the way he interacts with other dogs. His personality is starting to shine now. I think after a few more weeks of training Myles is going to be in great shape.”
About: Hi! I'm Elijah and I'd love to care for your dog(s) whether you're going on vacation or simply need a sitter for the day. I'm a nursing student in my final semester and I'm returning to Rover after six years! I have one dog of my own, a 9-year-old mini schnauzer named Winston, along with two rabbits and a leopard gecko. My partner has two dogs of his own as well, a labrador named Nina and a shih-tzu mix named Lucky—both of them being seniors at ages 13 and 15! We live in a 2 bedroom house with a medium sized, fenced in backyard. I have gates and areas of the house that can easily be secluded if your pet would do better with limited access to other animals. Our dogs are all easy-going, surprisingly playful for their ages, and get along with other animals very well (although I'll still do introductions slowly and safely!). Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday are the 3 days I have classes and I'm always home after that! Tuesday and Thursday I have a 2-hour class, and Saturday is my long day with a 10 hour clinical so my bookings will be closed for that specific day. The animals in my home are left alone for very little time each week. If guest animals have to be left alone, I have gates along with two rooms I can secure the guest pet in if need be! If you utilize a crate for your animal, you can bring that as well for me to use if I must leave for a short time.
About: I have had 9 cats of my own. I have cared for kittens from age 2 weeks old, having to bottle feed them to senior cats who needed medication. I'm open with owners about things I find. I once noticed a cat I was caring for had worms and I relayed this to the owner. Another time, I noticed during a nail trim that a cat had a claw growing into its paw pad. The owner was so glad I caught these things and informed them. I have driven pets to the vet for a client. I have walked dogs, and cared for chickens and geckos. I am precise when following directions provided by the pet owner. I LOVE taking pictures of pets and will send them over every day. I have 4 cats of my own, so their care is a daily routine for me. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for other pets. I usually go to the clients' home for pet sitting cats or dog walking. Although, I have a fenced-in yard with a privacy fence, which allows me to have dogs over.
“1st time having daycare with Whitley and I couldn’t be happier or more comfortable with my girls enjoying their day. Great photos and videos shared through the day and they both slept all the way home in the car- perfect!”
“Kerri was wonderful, I would definitely recommend her if you need someone to take care of your fur baby. Very patient, attentive, and all around genuine person. Got us out of a bind this holiday weekend with my Mikko. I can’t thank her enough.”

“Brie continues to be a godsend for us. Cora loves walking with her, and Brie's in depth knowledge of dogs and all animals is an extra bonus. Brie was even able to easily trim her nails ... Which all helps so much as I continue to recover from vaccine injury. Thank You, Brie!”
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! I work full-time as a server, but I still have a flexible schedule and make plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, so feel free to reach out anytime—I’d love to help care for your furry friends! I personally have a fenced in yard and two friendly doggies. One is 8 years old and the other is 2. I can do whatever your pets need!
About: I graduated from the Veterinary Assisting program at Diamond Oaks in 2018. I have over 5 years of experience caring for cats/dogs/small animals/reptiles, as well as 2 years caring for farm animals. I am able to administer medication to animals of all sizes. I own 3 dogs, a rabbit, a bearded dragon, 4 leopard geckos, an iguana, 7 chickens and a cat! My pets are one of my main priorities and yours will be too. I provide top notch care and have many years of experience caring for pets. Our pets are used to having a human around them daily. They are VERY spoiled. My pets are family and yours will be treated as such too ❤️
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: I've had a lifelong love of animals — caring for them was a responsibility I embraced from childhood and carried into adulthood. Over the years, I've dedicated time to researching training methods and best practices for working with dogs of varying breeds and temperaments. My hands-on experience includes Great Danes, German Shepherds, Cairn Terriers, Pit Bulls, Yorkies, Goldendoodles, and Labrador Retrievers, giving me a well-rounded foundation for understanding different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I am currently a full-time student, so I have the flexibility to make sure your pets are walked and checked on through the day. I can also be available for overnights in your home or will consider boarding here on a case-by-case basis. I firmly believe that regular exercise is one of the greatest gifts you can give a dog — both for their physical health and their overall disposition. Ensuring every pup gets the activity they need for a calm, content evening is always my top priority. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, attentive, and caring environment.
About: I’ve been taken care of pets since I was 13. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed, walk, play, and love on their pets. I also love to volunteer at animal shelters in my free time. I am currently a full time student, so I will have plenty of time before, in between and after classes to feed, walk, play, and love in your animals. I am also available in the evenings and weekends as well. I have a big secluded yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I also live in a safe neighborhood to walk pets in.
About: I’ve had and been surrounded by cats since I was born and I love all animals! Though I’ve never had any dogs of my own, I’ve taken care of many and volunteered at a couple of animal shelters, so I’m ready for any type of pet! I’m currently working part-time but my schedule is very flexible, so just let me know in advance and I’m sure I can help you out! I can take care of your pet at your own house best if I get to know a little bit about you and your pet first! I’m happy to learn!
About: As a dog mom, I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I have experience with senior care, daily medications, anxious pups, and high-energy dogs who need extra playtime and attention. I treat every pet like family, and my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or consistent routines, I’ve got you covered. For boarding services, I kindly ask that pets be housebroken/house trained to ensure a clean and comfortable stay for everyone. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I can be up early for walks, playtime, and feedings. Having a very flexible work schedule, I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, snuggles, or check-ins. Whether it’s a weekend stay or midday walk, I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs and routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a pet-friendly home with a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play. I share my home with a sweet, well-socialized dog who loves having furry friends around. I always follow the pet’s routine as closely as possible and provide constant supervision during playtime and feedings. I create a calm, clean, and loving environment where your pet can relax and feel secure.
About: I’ve had experience with nearly every type of animal from a very young age, including dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, mice, hamsters, chinchillas, lizards, and chickens! I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (chronic pain) so I don’t have a set job right now. This means I’m incredibly flexible with my time and can most likely show up whenever you need me! I love my alone time! I have no problem spending all day watching over your home and pets if needed! As long as you’re away I can even stay overnight to ensure your pet(s) are okay! (We would have to build trust first.)
About: My family has had dogs since before I was born! I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and know how to take care of fur babies of all ages :) Almost four years ago I adopted my first cat. Fast forward to today, I am now a mother of two orange special needs kitties. They are my world 🌎 ❤️🐾 I currently work part time and go to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On school days, class starts at 9 and I will have an hour and a half between classes to let a pet out to go to the bathroom, feed them, or give them medication. Then I have another class from 1-3. After that, I will be totally free to assist any pets. I also host trivia a few nights a week. That only last a couple hours in the evenings, so I can definitely get feedings/walks/medication in easily without interruption. I have space to keep a crate for overnight visits and live in an apartment complex with some green space to walk and explore. I am also only a few minutes away from five different parks, so lots of options to check out. I have two cats that are dog friendly, but can be separated if the dog is not cat friendly !
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 am more than able to all handle animals! Feed, water, and administer medication as needed. Ensure the well being and safety at all times.(Snuggles)!!! I’m currently working a part-time job so I’ll have plenty of time to watch after your furry family! Reach out for move information on the hours. I ensure pets are comfortable and well-tended by providing a clean environment, fresh water, nutritious food, and regular exercise. I follow specific dietary needs, keep up with grooming, and administer medications as needed to create a loving and stress-free atmosphere.
About: Hi, I’m Ally! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and have worked with 12+ different breeds. I love staying active and taking dogs on walks while making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’ve cared for dogs for neighbors, friends, family members, and through pet-sitting platforms. My experience includes overnight stays, extended care, feeding, walking, bathing, and, of course, spending quality time with your pets. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout my day. I’m able to plan my routine around walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and overnight stays. I love staying active, so daily walks and spending time with pets easily fit into my weekly routine. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention and care while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. In my home, pets will have a clean, safe, and loving environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I make sure pets stick to their normal routines as much as possible and carefully follow any feeding, medication, or special care instructions. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring their pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel confident while they’re away.
About: I worked at the San Diego Zoo for almost 20 years. My work there included animal care and nutrition. I love all types of dog and cat! Having just returned to Ohio from San Diego my schedule is quite flexible. I take care of my own pets, go to the gym and volunteer remotely for Wildlife Madagascar. In pet care i prioritize ilove and positive reinforcement. As the wife of a locksmith I'm also very meticulous about safety and security (i.e., I always double check to make sure that leash/harness clips and locks are secure).
About: Hi there! My name is Corinne, and I have taken care of a wide variety animals since I was a child. My family raised puppies and kittens, and I helped care for and train them throughout their lifetime. I have tended pregnant and senior animals, and now I work as a volunteer at my local animal shelter. My priority will always be your pets safety and comfort. I will diligently follow your instructions and adapt my care to best fit your pets personality. I cannot tell you how much I love animals, and will shower your pet with all the snuggles and playtime that they desire! I am home a lot for the time being and can dedicate much of my time to your pet. I’d love to take them out so they can have plenty of exercise. I always makes sure that a new pet has a space of their own where they have everything they may need, including privacy. I understand that some pets need time to themselves when nervous about being away from their owners. I also understand that some might need extra love and care, so I’m more than happy to let them follow me throughout the home. To ensure their safety, we keep a tidy home, with food put away in secure locations. They will be kept on their leashes in the event that we need to leave the house.
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 spent 24+ hours volunteering at Cache Valley pet Hotel as a kennel technician and receptionist ensuring every client was up to date and comfortable. I am available for daycares Monday through Friday at 9a-5p, as well as overnight from 5p-9a. I can do Saturday and Sunday for drop-in from 12p-5p. I always follow a routine whether it’s the client’s or my own: potty breaks every 3 hours, feeding 2-3 times a day, playtime 1-2 a day for an hour (depending on client preference).
About: I have taken care of many many dogs, from 5 senoir disabled chihauhas at once, to larger german sheapards and high and low energy dogs, untrained and trained. I take routines seriously, as I understand you are away, and I keep it together until you come back! :) I work part time in the evening as a janitor from Monday through Friday 6-10 PM, but I can be flexible; I am looking for dog walkings or weekend stays, as I am available virtually anytime before I work. I already have clients from other websites, as well as references for multiple pet sitting jobs. Long and short term gigs and anything in-between are great. I will play, give attention to and feed and water and give as needed bathroom breaks as per owners instructions. I love animals so they will be spoiled with my care!

“Gabriel was great in taking extra steps to care for Coco while I was out of the country. He sent pictures and updates that put me at ease! He has a wonderful home and yard that my dog enjoyed. I definitely would recommend him for your animals stay. I knew Coco was safe.”
“This was my first time booking with Rover. Michael set the bar high for future expectations. Michael was thorough and kind. Michael provided update pics which was very much appreciated. Michael treated our pup like it was his own. Highly recommend his family for your dog boarding needs!”
“Katie was great. Sent me updates everyday and treated my dogs like they were her own. I’ll definitely be reaching out and using her for her services again. Thanks again, you’re appreciated!”
“I highly highly recommend Karen. She truly loves dogs and knows what she’s doing. We are so grateful that we found her. She took time to meet with us and our dog before his 4 night stay. She made drop off and pick up seemless. She sent pictures and videos every day! Our boy looked genuinely happy in every picture. She even taught him some things! Kyro is a high energy dog and he came home absolutely spent. Karen is amazing.”
“Kara is amazing with my cat! She really knows what she’s doing. But on top of her animal cares, she’s also super nice and was willing to be flexible around my work schedule”
“Abbie was amazing! From the time we did our meet-and-greet, we knew her home would be a great fit for Kobe. She sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend. Kobe had a blast playing with her dogs! She was also very accommodating to a modified pickup time after we experienced flight delays. We will definitely be booking again!”

“Cori and family are AWESOME! We have repeatedly taken our two dogs to be cared for and loved on by her and highly recommend. We have a super chill Lab and an anxiety-ridden GSD. And she flexes to both of their needs and has the patience and understanding to handle our GSD. Both require some special meds/foods. I know it is always a tough decision to leave your furbabies in someone else's hands but Cori and her family can give you peace of mind that your pups are having a fun, attentive vacation of their own and most importantly of all - they are safe and expertly cared for.”
“Michelle is fabulous! I take my Australian Labradoodle to her and she cares so much about him. She goes on daily walks, plays outside with him, and keeps him safe. I feel so comfortable with him being there. Thanks again Michelle! We’ll be back.”
“April is absolutely wonderful! She was able to watch my Poppy girl in pretty short notice. She texted me everyday letting me know how Poppy was doing and sent some pictures and videos. I highly recommend her. Poppy will definitely be going back there again. She loved it.”
“If you love your dog like they were your own child, then book Tonia! I’d give Tonia six stars if I could. Her patience and kindness with humans such as I, and animals like my dog, were superb! She knows that dogs are dogs and is understanding when they behave as such. My dog is not comfortable in kennels, when other sitters have that as a norm, she lets them hang out as close to her as they want, all the time. She treated my dog (my kid) like her own and she appreciates the familial love my dog and I share.”
“Bella loved her time at Sandy’s. We were happy with the daily updates about Bella’s activities. The texts, photos, and videos were reassuring since this was our first time using Rover.com. Bella plans some future visits with Sandy!”
