“Rachel was absolutely amazing! She came in clutch after a really poor experience with another Rover sitter— Chloe in Cincinnati…my first EVER Rover booking, who canceled us at the last minute (3 days before our 3 night stay) because we requested a meet and greet. But Rachel, welcomed us with open arms, 3 days before we needed a 3 night stay. She immediately offered a meet and greet and made time for us to come by with Honey! She took & sent pictures of Honey throughout her stay and assured me she was having fun. She gave my sweet girl lots of love, and I was able to enjoy a wonderful Christmas with my boy without a worry at all. Thank you, Rachel, for treating Honey like a part of your family. Your kindness and reassurance my puppy was doing well, gave me a whole different impression of Rover. We appreciate YOU!!”
“Matthew and Jill were AMAZING with our big guy, Gunner! They were welcoming to us during Gunner's drop off, and asked all the questions to make sure his stay was great and comfortable. They sent us daily updates, pictures included. For someone who stresses leaving their fur babies behind when traveling, I felt completely at ease with having Gunner in the hands of Mathew and Jill. Highly recommend, and will be contacting again in future travels.”
“Alycia is absolutely wonderful with my dog, Archie! 🐶 She is dependable, caring, and treats him like her own. I never have to worry when Archie is with her—he’s always happy, well cared for, and loved. It gives me such peace of mind knowing Alycia is there for him. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets!”
“Nancy has been great with ou senior dog. She makes sure he feels comfortable and safe. Nancy takes him potty often especially because he's a senior dog. She is super flexible and has great communication. Both of her pupps do a great job with Domi as well. We will continue using her as long as she keeps Rovering.”
“I was glad to have found Kim via Rover. My cousins were able to have lots of fun attending my son’s wedding knowing their fur baby Macchie was cared for very well. Kim was very accomodating! Such a good experience. Will choose her again in the future!”
“They made me feel comfortable leaving my puppy with them. They sent pictures everyday and they had other dogs for my puppy to socialize with and a big back yard. Thank you William and Haley for taking care of Rocky!”
“Emily always does a great job keeping our boy when we go out of town! She keeps us in the loop as to how he is doing, with daily updates and pictures. I definitely always have peace of mind when our boy is with her. Highly recommend!”
“She was the best sitter. I was very worried about Flurry but she handled Flurry and my situation very professionally. Flurry was very happy with her and she was flexible with drop off time and pick up time. Traveling from New York was a stress but because of her my trip became stress-free. I highly recommend her for your dog. Flurry has a separation anxiety but with her I didn't feel that Flurry had any problems with her. She gave her food and communication was on point. She updated me with pictures and each and everything.”
“Gracie and Marley had a wonderful 5 day stay with Patricia! It was so reassuring to get our daily pictures and updates while we were away. It was evident that they thoroughly enjoyed Patricia’s company. We will definitely use Patricia to care for our fur babies again!”
“Jane is wonderful with Oliver, our 4 year old labradoodle. She treats him like her own dog. She’s very loving and patient. She is easy to work with and always eager to please. Oliver is very relaxed and happy when we pick him up, unlike when we pick him up from a noisy kennel. We will be using her again and again.”
“My two labs love spending the day at Tricia’s. I was so grateful when she agreed to board them over the holiday weekend. They had a great time, as usual; and I was able to enjoy my trip worry-free.”
“Leeann was great! She sent us updates with pictures and took amazing care of our little pup. We were happy to know she had fun and met new doggy friends in the meantime.”
“Tammi was a wonderful host to our pups. She gave us such peace of mind that I was able to focus on the event and not worry if our girls were safe. My first time using Rover was a success, I will definitely return to Tammi again!”
“Felt completely comfortable leaving Happy with Lauren and Wynn. Loved getting pics and updates throughout our trip. Lauren and Wynn were fine with her spunky personality and relentless need for attention :) Definitely will call them again in the future!”
“Ronald and his family could not have been better sitters for our 2 labs. They were so thoughtful and provided a loving home for our pups while we were away. I will definitely continue to book Ronald on future trips.”
“This was our second time leaving Cooper with Joseph & Tasha and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! They send updates and quick to respond when corresponding. Cooper is always super happy and exhausted after a stay with them- we will def be using them in the future!”
“My pup had the best time with Kelti and Tanner! They were able to watch Ted last minute which was super helpful. They kept me update the whole time we were gone and my pup passed out the second we got home because he was so tired from playing all weekend! Would definitely ask them to watch my fur child again!”

“Hayleigh was absolutely incredible during her check‑in visits with Luna and Charles over the past couple weeks. Her communication was flawless—transparent, detailed, and consistent every single day. I always knew exactly how the pups were doing, and it was clear they adored her. She cared for them as if they were her own, and that peace of mind is priceless. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 16 years old. I am often asked by coworkers of family to house sit during their vacations. I have pet sat dogs, cats, fish, and even chickens! I am comfortable waking, giving medication, and cuddling (my personal favorite), whatever your pup needs! I have two dogs of my own. One of my dogs is a senior and is high need due to his bone cancer. He requires daily medication and will until we are able to remove the leg. My other pup is a rambunctious lab, who is high drive and needs daily stimulation so he doesn’t anger his older brother. I often take him on walks or use the pond near our home to tire him out! I am used to house sitting in all types of homes. If your pup needs a daily walk I am can do that. If they’re an outside pup we can take a walk or even a hike! I stay at the home and don’t leave often. I ask that a physical copy of directions are left so that I can give the 100% proper care and able to contact through phone as well!
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been caring for cats since I was three years old, when I got my first cat, Fluffy. I currently share my home with five rescued cats, including two with special needs—one with FIV and another with neurological challenges—which has given me extensive hands-on experience with medical care, behavior monitoring, and daily medications. I also care for a managed colony of twenty cats on my property that I inherited when I bought my home, so I’m very comfortable with a wide range of feline personalities and needs. I have a particular affinity for senior and special-needs cats, including those with anxiety, and I approach their care with patience, consistency, and respect—on their terms, of course.
“Angela did a fantastic job caring for my two cats, including administering insulin twice daily for my diabetic cat, maintaining dietary restrictions, and keeping her well-regulated! Both of my cats seemed super happy and relaxed with her, which is no small feat for the more sensitive one. I felt super comfortable leaving them with her and wouldn't hesitate to have her watch them again!”
“Ginger went above and beyond! I just wanted someone to feed Harvey and give him his insulin but she actually cared and played with him! Made me feel better about being gone. Also the Rover Cards I got were some of the cutest pics of him ever!”
“Bethany was wonderful! She responded at short notice and was able to come by and give our cat soft food and attention. Very reliable. The pics Bethany sent us from her visits were adorable. Would definitely recommend and book again!”

I’ve been trained to give medication, I’ve been trained to work with animals that have special needs, anything your animal may need I can do!

“Abigail did a great job with drop-in visits for my cats while I was away on vacation. She communicated well and I felt comfortable with her taking care of my cats. I recommend Abigail if you are looking for a pet sitter.”
“Because of the last minute nature of my trip, I was not even able to meet Andrew, but he was very communicative as I was getting ready to go, and my my kitties were well fed, and they seemed pleased with him from the pictures. I would definitely hire again!”
About: What sets me apart is my experience as a former veterinary assistant, which has given me valuable knowledge of feline health, behavior, and daily care. I am comfortable caring for senior cats, monitoring for changes in health or behavior, and providing individualized attention based on each pet's needs. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and stress-free environment so cats feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Lauren was great with our kitties! We went away for four days and wanted someone to stay at the house with them because we have a couple of cats with anxiety. When we got back they were super happy and I could tell they were well taken care of. She kept us informed and also took care of our gecko and fish. I definitely would recommend Lauren and would book her again!”
“Angel was extremely responsive when setting up the meet and greet and took amazing care of Mr Cat! She sent daily photos and updates and he looked happy and cared for!”
About: 7 years of cat care with the basic necessities, play time to enrich their lives, and the ability to give medication and handle medical equipment if needed. Provided IV’s for my own cat through home care during his final year of life.
“Kristen was excellent with our cats! I really appreciated that she wanted come by and get acquainted with the cats and their habits before we left. We felt very comfortable having her check in on them, and we arrived home to full bowls of food and clean litter boxes! While we got the daily Rover check in card, Kristen also got in touch with text messages when needed and let us know any issues as they happened. We've got a few trips coming up in the next year and we'll happily rebook with her! If we didn't know it already, the fact that we know all the cats ran to meet her at the door at every visit? That's the seal of approval from our cats indeed!”

“Great sitter! Jobe was very communicative and flexible since we were using Rover to care for our pup while attending a friend’s wedding out of state. It worked out great because while we were able to have fun and relax with friends on a special day, Kouvr was having the time of her life with Jobe and his girlfriend and his other Rover pets! Bonus of her being exhausted and ready for bed after a day and a half trapped in a car/hotel room. 10/10!”

About: We have watched many pets over the years and are finally bringing our love to the masses. :) We truly love all animals (every where we have lived animals indoor/outdoor just flock to us it seems ha). We give them the care they deserve and treat every last one as if it were our own personal pet. We have also had several pets through the years that needed medical attention daily (generally giving medication) and understand the importance of maintaining medicine/medical care in a very timely manner. If you are looking for the best care for your pet, look no further this family of pet lovers is where its at. We took a little time off to focus on some other things but we are back at it and ready to love and care for your pet better than anyone on this app 😀♥️ (we might be biased). I work from home full time so I am here almost 24 hrs/day to care for your lovely pet. On the weekends we come and go for short periods of time but generally we are home 80% of the weekend at least. We welcome long and short term pet stays, we just love pets. I have kids who "LOVE" to entertain/give attention to pets and try to teach them new tricks. I have several nearby dog parks, and 1 dog of my own. I have a Black Lab/Great Dane mix about 5 yrs old. He loves having other pets around after he get his sniffs in :)

With puppies i make sure to ask all necessary questions with potty training making sure they are taken out often, to any current training being worked on with owner at home.

I make sure a gate is up in my house so I can keep an eye on all pets being watched.

About: I have been dog-sitting for my neighbor’s and family members for about 8 years with various breeds. I have experience in distributing medicine and general hygiene to help ensure your pet stays looking and feeling their best. I am a college student at NKU and also work part time on my college campus. While that sounds like a crazy schedule my absolute joy is being able to watch animals. I will always make time to help anyone out and strive to respond within 1-5 minutes to bookings requests or availability. My favorite job is being able to help others out so it’s one less thing you have to worry about and I get to watch your pet which is the highlight of my day. I have a 7-year-old dog named Bailey and she is a mixed breed. I do general and daily hygiene for my dog, including teeth brushing, bathing, ear cleaning, and cleaning her paws. My dog Bailey also has some anxiety so I am not new to some animals who become shaky or nervous. My dog loves to be outside and in the sun, so I ensure we have some sunbathing time in our day and time to roll around in the grass.

About: I have loved being around dogs big or small since I was a little girl! I have been a paid sitter for family friends for the last 2 years. Right out of high school in 2021, I started working for a dog daycare for almost a year and it was my favorite job ever! I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I am a hairstylist and I am self employed so I make my own schedule. I work Monday through Thursday 10-7 (sometimes Fridays and Saturdays 10-5).

I’m patient, attentive, and committed to treating both your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: I am new to the area! I have had an extensive foster care history over the past 3 years prior to relocating. I adore all fur babies but have the most experience with elder and special needs pups. I love animals, big and small. I have my own sweetheart pup and live with two cat friends (plus a lizard). I work as a nurse. Medication administration is no problem at all if needed as well. Please help cure my foster withdrawal and let me be there for your furry family members! I currently am taking a break from full time nursing to focus on enjoying life more. With advance notice, I can be available most days/times. Don’t let that discourage same day requests though! I take the time to learn pet needs and enjoy getting to know their personalities. The approach I use for each animal is based on what they respond best to. I encourage families to share likes and dislikes of their animal friends to promote a low stress environment as they get to know me. I can administer medication, take them for car rides or walks if desired. Companionship in any form is something I look forward to providing them!!

“Rachel was absolutely amazing! She came in clutch after a really poor experience with another Rover sitter— Chloe in Cincinnati…my first EVER Rover booking, who canceled us at the last minute (3 days before our 3 night stay) because we requested a meet and greet. But Rachel, welcomed us with open arms, 3 days before we needed a 3 night stay. She immediately offered a meet and greet and made time for us to come by with Honey! She took & sent pictures of Honey throughout her stay and assured me she was having fun. She gave my sweet girl lots of love, and I was able to enjoy a wonderful Christmas with my boy without a worry at all. Thank you, Rachel, for treating Honey like a part of your family. Your kindness and reassurance my puppy was doing well, gave me a whole different impression of Rover. We appreciate YOU!!”
“Matthew and Jill were AMAZING with our big guy, Gunner! They were welcoming to us during Gunner's drop off, and asked all the questions to make sure his stay was great and comfortable. They sent us daily updates, pictures included. For someone who stresses leaving their fur babies behind when traveling, I felt completely at ease with having Gunner in the hands of Mathew and Jill. Highly recommend, and will be contacting again in future travels.”
“Alycia is absolutely wonderful with my dog, Archie! 🐶 She is dependable, caring, and treats him like her own. I never have to worry when Archie is with her—he’s always happy, well cared for, and loved. It gives me such peace of mind knowing Alycia is there for him. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets!”
“Emily always does a great job keeping our boy when we go out of town! She keeps us in the loop as to how he is doing, with daily updates and pictures. I definitely always have peace of mind when our boy is with her. Highly recommend!”
“Gracie and Marley had a wonderful 5 day stay with Patricia! It was so reassuring to get our daily pictures and updates while we were away. It was evident that they thoroughly enjoyed Patricia’s company. We will definitely use Patricia to care for our fur babies again!”
“My two labs love spending the day at Tricia’s. I was so grateful when she agreed to board them over the holiday weekend. They had a great time, as usual; and I was able to enjoy my trip worry-free.”
“Tammi was a wonderful host to our pups. She gave us such peace of mind that I was able to focus on the event and not worry if our girls were safe. My first time using Rover was a success, I will definitely return to Tammi again!”
“Felt completely comfortable leaving Happy with Lauren and Wynn. Loved getting pics and updates throughout our trip. Lauren and Wynn were fine with her spunky personality and relentless need for attention :) Definitely will call them again in the future!”
“Ronald and his family could not have been better sitters for our 2 labs. They were so thoughtful and provided a loving home for our pups while we were away. I will definitely continue to book Ronald on future trips.”
“This was our second time leaving Cooper with Joseph & Tasha and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! They send updates and quick to respond when corresponding. Cooper is always super happy and exhausted after a stay with them- we will def be using them in the future!”
“My pup had the best time with Kelti and Tanner! They were able to watch Ted last minute which was super helpful. They kept me update the whole time we were gone and my pup passed out the second we got home because he was so tired from playing all weekend! Would definitely ask them to watch my fur child again!”
“Hailey took care of our pups while we attended our conference. She rescued us last minute when another sitter cancelled and was graciously flexible with our schedule. Thanks Hailey!”
“Monte did a wonderful job keeping tabs on my pup! He was kind and welcoming with the introductions, as well as his furry companion. Definitely will be contacting Monte again in the future.”
“I needed a place to board my dog for a night while my husband and I went to a wedding. Our dog has been to standard daycare facilities but isn't fond of being left alone so we didn't like the idea of her staying in a kennel. Alison was really accommodating and assured us that our sweet girl would get plenty of attention and play time with her own dogs, which is perfect because our girl loves to make friends. We were afraid that she'd have trouble settling in because she's very attached to us, but we were put at ease when Alison sent a picture of our girl sleeping on a comfy couch. They also made sure she had her allergy meds and food. This is exactly the environment and attention our dog needs to be comfortable being away from us for a bit. Thank you so much for watching her!”
“My pup seemed to have a great time and came home tired and happy! Stephanie sent us daily pictures, which meant a lot to us, and she was easily available for communication. We would definitely board with her again!”
“Avery was AMAZING with our German Shepherd puppy Maverick! She kept us in the loop daily with pictures and texts. She took him on multiple walks a day, got him a pup cup, and even took him to PetSmart to pick out a new toy. If you’re looking for a sitter who will dedicate 100% of her time to your dog, Avery is the one!”
