“This was our second time working with Amy and she was great! She was very accommodating on drop off time to make sure it fit all of our schedules. She sent photos and gave us updates throughout the trip as well :) Will book again!”
“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!”
“Amanda and Mike are great! Ashli loves them both and has such a great time when she is there. I never worry when my girl is there because she is well taken care of!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Abbie took great care of our dogs when we were out of town. They both get anxious about boarding and when we picked them up they were calm without any of the behavioral problems we sometimes experience. She has a big back yard and her house is comfortable for dogs with all sorts of needs. Definitely planning on reaching out again next time we go out of town.”
“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!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Eliza. She is an Incredible dog sitter❤️. I 1000% would use her again. She was so kind and kept me up to date the whole time, also sent me pictures of my Rocky. Eliza took such good care of my boy. Your pup is in GREAT hands here!!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Very pleasant experience. You can tell Dana and Jason are dog lovers. Our dog had a good time and got on well with their dogs. We especially like that Dana works from home so someone is with dogs most all ofvthe time. Will definitely use again, in fact already booked another visit!”
“We were on a cross country trip with our kids and pup and wanted to stop at the Ark Encounter. This was our first time using Rover. Hailey was very responsive with every question I had. She answered quickly. Sent photos and kept our peaches safe and happy while we took a day trip. We are very grateful for her and would highly recommend her.”
“Second time using Misty as a sitter. Hudson ran right inside when we dropped her off. She had a good time and came home worn out. Misty was able to accommodate my change in schedule as well. Will definitely use her again.”
“**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!”
“Leann and her husband James were great! This was the first time I’ve ever had a dogsitter sit my Macy outside of my home. She’s an old girl and very timid, so I was pretty nervous about this! But Leann sent regular pictures and videos, and she adapted to Macy‘s timid nature. Macy got lots of walks! After one week in Leann‘s care, I picked Macy up, and she was happy and looked great. Leann‘s price was very fair. And Leann’s dogs appeared to treat Macy really well. Macy hasn’t been around other dogs much, but her dogs seem very chill. This definitely saved me a lot of money over a sitter staying in my home. I’ll definitely use Leann again!”
“Emily was great, sending pictures each day of my dogs stay and keeping me updated. She even shuffled her schedule around to accommodate the days I needed. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Patricia loves your pets like they’re her own. Always so happy with the care she provides and it allows us to have peace of mind and be able to enjoy our time away from home. Fortunate to have found her!”

I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to keeping cat parents updated so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make every cat feel comfortable, secure, and happy in my care.

Mariah and Anthony were very friendly and we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again if we were in the area.”
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.
“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’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.
“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: I have had my own animals and worked in vets offices my whole life. I have a variety of animals in my own home. I love all creatures big and small. I am a stay at home mom, so I am available all the time! My kids are in school or daycare during the day so I am very free. I am home taking care of the home and my own animals and can be reached any day or time. I have 2 dogs. We have an acre fenced in yard so plenty of room to run out some energy! We are outside of the city and enjoy the privacy we have. We use leashes to walk from our front door to our fenced in yard and have plenty of space to accommodate crates if needed. We can do crates for dogs that need it but I pride myself on treating my boarders like my own. With free range of my home and multiple hours spent outside in the sun.
“Karen is always great with Ivy. Ivy is well taken care of and loves going to daycare there because of Karen's loving nature. I highly recommend her if you're looking for a sitter.”
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.

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: 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.

Relax while you're away knowing your furry family member(s) are well taken care of. I'm currently on summer break (I work in education) so my availability is very open. I also work a summer job at Riverbend, but that's only a few nights a month. When I visit a clients home, I like to first make sure to take an inventory the pets' general wellness, and just love on them a little if possible before beginning any cleaning or feeding. Then I will start potty breaks or box cleaning, food and water changes, and any other necessary tasks. Then, more loves & scritches as needed :)

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 am a dog owner myself, having dogs throughout my whole life. I love any and all dogs and would love an opportunity to meet yours. I’ve had past experience watching both dogs and cats, where I’ve stayed overnight, fed, walked, and cared for pets in various ways. I also have reliable transportation and am willing to accommodate any needs necessary. I am eager to learn anything that will help your pet feel safer and happier while caring for them! I’m free throughout most days this summer, so my attention can be fully on your pets! Other than occasional trips/errands out, I can stay as long as you need with your fur babies! I’m very comfortable doing anything you need within your home for your pets! I can crate if needed, and I love walking if that’s something you’d like your pet to experience.
About: Hello! I have been a vet assistant for three years and worked at a dog daycare for three years. I have plenty of experience walking and taking care of the tiniest cats to the biggest dogs. I have experience with exotics as well. I absolutely love being around animals because they always brighten my day. I have had dogs my entire life, so I am comfortable around any dog. I would love to help take care of your animals! I’ll even add in bonus belly scratches and plenty of treats! I work full time as a vet assistant, but typically have a couple of days off throughout the week. I am hoping to take care of animals on the days I am available. Currently I am unable to host any dogs in my own household. I will only be available for walking and drop ins as of right now. I promise to always make the animals as comfortable as possible and have positive interactions. I am very respectful of client’s homes as well.
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!
“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: I've taken care of my own dogs and assisted my friends and neighbors dogs and cats since I was a child. I love playing with dogs and cats of all ages and have ample experience with litter boxes and pooper scooping as well as giving medications and special dietary needs. I love cats and dogs of all ages but have the most experience with kittens and senior dogs. I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is different every day and every week. I am usually very flexible and am able to move around my schedule as needed. I will be walking your pet as the pace that they set and am open to discussions with what your pets needs are while they are with me. Time and distance can be discussed as needed as well. I am also open to discussion on how you prefer your pet cared for/played with in your home for a drop in. My goal is to make you and your pet as comfortable as possible with the pet care provided.
About: I’ve taken care of family/friends dogs and cats. I’ve been a pet owner for 8+ years so I know how much animals mean to us! I’m saving up to pay for my studies and I currently work part time so the rest of my time can go to caring for your pet. I’m available from 8am-9pm weekdays! I have a fenced yard and a Shih Tzu who loves others pets and will keep your furry loved one company. We go on daily walks.

“This was our second time working with Amy and she was great! She was very accommodating on drop off time to make sure it fit all of our schedules. She sent photos and gave us updates throughout the trip as well :) Will book again!”
“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!”
“Amanda and Mike are great! Ashli loves them both and has such a great time when she is there. I never worry when my girl is there because she is well taken care of!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Abbie took great care of our dogs when we were out of town. They both get anxious about boarding and when we picked them up they were calm without any of the behavioral problems we sometimes experience. She has a big back yard and her house is comfortable for dogs with all sorts of needs. Definitely planning on reaching out again next time we go out of town.”
“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!”
“We were on a cross country trip with our kids and pup and wanted to stop at the Ark Encounter. This was our first time using Rover. Hailey was very responsive with every question I had. She answered quickly. Sent photos and kept our peaches safe and happy while we took a day trip. We are very grateful for her and would highly recommend her.”
“Second time using Misty as a sitter. Hudson ran right inside when we dropped her off. She had a good time and came home worn out. Misty was able to accommodate my change in schedule as well. Will definitely use her again.”
“**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!”
“Leann and her husband James were great! This was the first time I’ve ever had a dogsitter sit my Macy outside of my home. She’s an old girl and very timid, so I was pretty nervous about this! But Leann sent regular pictures and videos, and she adapted to Macy‘s timid nature. Macy got lots of walks! After one week in Leann‘s care, I picked Macy up, and she was happy and looked great. Leann‘s price was very fair. And Leann’s dogs appeared to treat Macy really well. Macy hasn’t been around other dogs much, but her dogs seem very chill. This definitely saved me a lot of money over a sitter staying in my home. I’ll definitely use Leann again!”
“Emily was great, sending pictures each day of my dogs stay and keeping me updated. She even shuffled her schedule around to accommodate the days I needed. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Patricia loves your pets like they’re her own. Always so happy with the care she provides and it allows us to have peace of mind and be able to enjoy our time away from home. Fortunate to have found her!”
“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!”
“Dianna was amazing! We were worried about leaving Ellie with anyone other than family, but by the time we picked Ellie up we decided we would most likely use her again rather than family! Thanks Dianna for keeping our big baby and allowing us to have nice worry free time away!”
“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.”
“Rachel is wonderful! From my first communication with her, I felt very confident that she would take amazing care of our dog! The pictures sent were very helpful knowing he was comfortable and happy in her home! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!”
“Darby was in great hands during our unexpected out of town trip. First Mariah and Anthony accommodated our last minute request for booking for a family emergency. Darby had a blast playing with their two dogs. She was happy and wore out after her time there! We will definitely be using them again!”
