“Kimberely was the best sitter I have had. I could tell my dog thoroughly enjoyed her time. She stopped to say thank you to Kimberely. Kim creates a loving, safe and fun environment. She watches several dogs at a time which was the best mix for my dog. The dogs were having a dog party every day. I already have Kim booked for my dog's next stay. I know my dog misses Kim already!”
“Alycia took great care of Piper over the holiday. She was flexible with drop off and pickup times and easy to connect with. She sent pictures and videos daily of Piper having fun with other dogs and running around outside. It was fun seeing her having FUN. We will connect with Alycia again for dog care. Thank you Alycia ~”
“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.”
“Rachel is a gem! She truly treats our Teddy like a member of her family. I don’t need tons of photo updates because Teddy is actually sad when he comes home — he loves being with Rachel that much! She is an exceptional dog sitter, and we gladly travel 30 minutes for her services.”
“We were really happy with the care Kodiak received during her stay. We loved the picture updates and hearing what she was up to while we were gone. Kodi came home much more relaxed than she ever has after staying at the kennel. Thanks for taking care of our girl! We will definitely look to book again for future care.”
“Matthew & Jill were amazing and helped us feel very comfortable leaving our dogs in their care! They were flexible, caring, very professional and stayed in touch with me via text to let me know that our dogs were doing well throughout the week. We look forward to using your service again. Many thanks!”
“Want to drop a note of love for Tasha & Joe... my 2 boys have been going to them for almost 4 years now, and I can always rest easy knowing they are in a great home with attentive owners, and other fur friends too. I always appreciate the picture updates they provide too. They're the best!!”
“With out hesitation we rebooked our Winston & Riley Bichons with Abbie & her family in their great home environment for a week of loving care. The updates, pictures gave us comfortdaily. We have already booked our next visit with Abbie.”
“Dianna was incredible! Our pups were well looked after and had the best time! She gave daily updates and I was reassured by the photos and updates! Could not have been happier with her service!!!”
“Ronald watched my puppy over a busy holiday weekend - not a small feat! He was responsive and sent updates throughout the weekend. Highly appreciated and would definitely recommend Ronald!”

“Tricia is the best! Our dog was having some bladder issues we didn’t know about and she was very patient and caring for him. We have used her a few times and will keep going back.”
“Marina and Michael took excellent care of our furry baby while we went on a trip and left her for the first time ever. She sent lots of updates with pics and made it so much easier being without our girl for a week, knowing she was in good hands :-)”
“Our little guy seemed happy at Stephanie's house! The family was very nice, and their house is tucked in a cul-de-sac away from busy roads. We got updates and/or pictures most days, and Stephanie was always timely in her responses to any messages I sent her. We plan to use her again!”
“Roscoe had an amazing time with Tammi. He is a stubborn, curious hound but Tammi was great with him. She showed us the place and we felt completely comfortable leaving Roscoe with her. She sent us pictures and updates during his stay that showed how much fun he was having. He is a high maintenance dog and has a ton of energy but she was able to care for him perfectly. He came home happy and tired, which is exactly what we wanted. Tammi is great with all dogs and did an amazing job caring for our pup. Would absolutely recommend her and I will be booking with her again in the future!”
“Jenny was phenomenal. She was very flexible with the times on drop off and pick up. Ember was happy with the long walks and nap time right next to Jenny. We were so glad our first time back on rover was made easy and delightful. Definitely going to be asking her 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!”
“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!”
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.
“Abigail took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. She was very attentive, making sure Sancho received his medicine every day without any issue, and kept us updated with messages and photos that gave us peace of mind. Both of our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we came back. We truly appreciate her kindness and dedication, and we would definitely trust her again in the future!”
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: 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.
About: Hello I'm Lauren. I've got a pupper of my own named Layla. We love long walks in the evenings, playing ball, and long naps during the day. I work in the field of recreation so I like to be out and about but love to come home and cuddle at night. I've been working with pets since owning 13 rabbits when I was little. I have experience with big, little, and medium sized dogs and will work with behavioral issues as well. I do require that the animals that come to my house be crate trained for when I am at work or I can pet sit from your home if you prefer your pets to be out all day. Either way I'd love to meet your little darling/darlings.
“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!”
“Naomi took excellent care of our Kitties! With her knowledge & love for all cats we felt fortunate & confident with our Kitties in her care. Her attention to bringing in the mail & daily photos/videos was an extra bonus! 5🌟 all the way! We will rebook and would highly recommend!”
“Megan did such a nice job at taking care of my cats again. Mitski came out for treats, which was huge, and Azula seems to be missing her visits! It’s nice to be home, but I recommend her for your out-of-town needs. :)”

“I was once where you are now. Scrolling through Rover trying to find the best dog sitter/match for your furry family member. It was reading those reviews that led me to Susan. And it was Susan who absolutely saved the day for us. We had a plan that didn’t work out and suddenly needed someone we trusted in a town where we knew not a soul to care for our 3 small pups. Our smallest being a 3 pound tea cup yorkie who suffers separation anxiety when she and my mom (her human) are apart. Susan took time to meet the family and the pups. She followed instructions to insure our 3 fur babies were comfortable, safe, and well cared for. All 3 dogs came back happy and exhausted. - The humans who went to the Ark returned the same… In other words. Ask Susan to watch your pups. She’s solid gold.”

“This will be the third week in a row that my Roxxie will be attending doggy day care with her two new dog friends in Nancy’s home. It’s so amazing that I can go to work and not have to worry at all if my dogs being well cared for. Nancy is the best!”
“Matilda had the most amazing day! We got regular updates and fantastic pictures from Amy. To say we were happy is an understatement. We live in FL and we were just passing through and needed day care while we visited the Ark encounter so unfortunately we won’t be able to use Amy on a regular basis but I sure wish we could. We were beyond satisfied and highly recommend her without hesitation! Matilda went for a pack walk, frolicked in the stream, and played for hours in her huge fenced-in dog play area with tons of fun toys and enrichment activities. We are very thankful! 🐾”
“Ryan was wonderful with my two dachshunds. Boarded them during the day while we had workers installing new carpet. Sent pics and videos so I had no worries. They came home tired and happy. Would hire Ryan again.”
“Jonathan was super responsive and willing to do a meet and greet with us. Our dog can be nervous around bigger dogs, so this was really helpful. We were able to do a short 3-hour daycare soon after and really appreciated all of the updates that Jonathan shared throughout Penny's visit. Thanks, Jonathan!”
“My puppy enjoyed the day playing with Brandon and his friendly pets. Brandon was reliable, responsive, worked well with my puppy’s energy level, and sent me a lot of updates during the day. We will be back.”
About: Warning ⚠️! Your furry companion will be worn out with fun activities in my large fenced in backyard, with additional happy walks and hikes. When it's time to rest, they will enjoy relaxing in my spacious clean home with plenty of love and care. I am a stay-at-home mom with children who attend summer camps. Drop off can be as early as 7:00 a.m. and for overnight stays 6:00 p.m. Pick up times can be negotiated. Large safe neighborhood, in the heart of Independence.

My children are 7 and 10 years old, they absolutely love animals. They have been educated on the proper way to approach and play with dogs and cats. At no time will the children be left with your pet alone. When my husband is in town, he arrives home around 5:45 every evening and is a big dog lover. He misses having a dog but travels too much for the military.
“Jihting was excellent. Met her & family, including Cupcake, beforehand & she was very understanding of our needs, ensured we knew who would be around, that there would be water, playtime, etc. Would recommend & will use again for Ollie's daycare needs.”
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 :)
“Lainey had so much fun playing with Willow and Piper! She was exhausted when she came home from her doggy day care day (goal accomplished;) Heather is wonderful and everything that you could ask for in a doggy sitter! She even brushed Lainey with her furminator! Thank you!”
“Dottie goes to Emma’s all day, 3 days a week and just loves it! She gets so excited as soon as we pull in the driveway! Emma is responsive, helpful, kind, gentle and great with my little dog!”
“Jen & Rob took such great care of my dog for day care weekly. He always came home happy, healthy, and exhausted (thank god, he is a high energy Aussie and needed to expel that energy!). Thank you, Jen & Rob for being a safe place for me to bring my dog!”
“Dianna responded very quickly and it was great to have Xena with another Blue Merle Aussie. Cared for her for the day while we went to the Ark Encounter and sent pictures of play time and walking. Would use Dianna again if we li Ed nearby.”
About: I ONLY TAKE ONE PET AT A TIME SO THEY GET 100% OF MY ATTENTION & LOVE 24/7. I've had critters to love and care for since I can remember - all kinds: dogs, cats, a pony, ducks, chickens, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs and fish. Animals have always been a very important part of my life. I worked for a vet for several years, was on the Board of my local SPCA and have rescued 3 dogs and a cat as part of our family in the past 15 years. Now our empty nest home is pretty quiet but I am always ready to love some more! I started pet sitting for friends and discovered how fulfilling it can be, so I am more than ready to care for your fur baby too. I am at home full time now and have the whole day to tailor to the needs of the critters I care for, so even special needs are not usually a problem. I am an avid photographer and will happily send photo updates regularly. OH, and I go by LOLLY (a nickname since I was a toddler). I have a large fenced yard for off-leash, supervised play time and live in a forest with acres of trails for leashed walks. I have one cat at home and aim to board only ONE DOG AT A TIME (or two if they are housemates already). Your pet will stay inside my home which is a peaceful and safe environment, no small children, quiet neighbours and a husband who loves to give free belly rubs! Home 24/7 so am able to be with your pet all day and night which is especially important for little ones who aren't used to being away from home. We have a large fully fenced and large back yard in a forest-like setting and miles of trails for leash walks. Also a smaller fenced area within the larger fenced yard for late night or early morning relief. Your pet will never be outside without me.
“Jenny and her family were amazing!! They took care of my dog like he was their own. He had so much fun and didn’t want to leave. Jenny also sent me awesome pictures of all the fun he was having. Thank you so much!”
About: Hello! A little bit about me: A student who is crazy about animals and would take care of your lovely friend/son/daughter (haha) as if they were part of my family . I was raised around dogs and cats and when I grow up, I decided that I would want to work for their own good. I was part of an Animal Welfare Organization in my hometown and hosted some homeless dogs and cats and took care of them until we find a new family for them. I'm so grateful for everything I've done for the animals, and if I could, I'd do way more. I live in a house with a big fenced backyard, your pet will have plenty of space to play. I also have a 1 year old very friendly Pomeranian who loves to have play dates ❤️

About: I have previous experience in veterinary medicine. I was a vet assistant for 3 years. I have now changed career paths but I miss all of the animals and would love to take care of your pet! I currently have open availability as I am not working at the moment, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and giving them attention and care. I provide in-home sitting and drop-in visits, following each pet’s routine closely. I focus on feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable.
About: I’m a responsible adult who just wants to provide love, comfort and compassion to your fur babies when you can’t be there! I have experience with both cats and dogs and equally enjoy their company! I work primarily weekends at the hospital (I am an ICU RN) - I have a lot of flexibility as I’m PRN and make my own schedule I have experience with fences, leashes, pens and tie outs. I am not afraid of “accidents” and make sure you provide the same care that you would to your furbaby
About: My name is Emily. I work full time in public service and I am a dog mom to a Golden Doodle named Rudy. I have 4+ years of working in animal care from working in shelters, as a veterinary assistant, and have cared for my neighbor's pets when needed. I am able to administer medications and care for any pets that have special needs due to having experienced working in both small and large animal clinics. I will treat your fur baby like my own! I currently have availability on week days in the evening and weekends all day. In the summer from end of June to mid - July I will have all day availability as well. My dog Rudy is very friendly and can accompany on visits if permitted or requested. I have a park close to my house and can commute to any area for a needed walk.
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 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!!
About: Hi! My name is Kate Palmer, and I recently graduated from the University of Cincinnati 🎓❤️ I just started on Rover and am looking for pet sitting opportunities because I genuinely love animals and caring for them! 🐶🐱 Although I’m new to Rover, I have years of caregiving experience through nannying for multiple families, which has taught me how to be patient, responsible, attentive, and dependable. Right now, I nanny, but my schedule depends on when the family needs me, so I have a very flexible schedule and lots of availability 😊 I grew up around dogs and lots of cats, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life 🐾 My parents have a dog that I help care for often, and I also have two cats of my own! Because of this, I’m very familiar with daily pet routines, different personalities, and making animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I love being active, going on walks, playing with pets, and making sure they feel happy and well cared for while their owners are away 🦴☀️ I understand trusting someone new with your pets can feel nerve-wracking, especially with a new Rover sitter, but I truly care about providing the best care possible and treating every pet like my own 💛 I’m very detail-oriented, communicative, and reliable, and I would love the opportunity to help care for your pets while also growing my experience on Rover 😊🐾 -Kate💓 I recently graduated from the University of Cincinnati, so I have a very flexible schedule right now alongside babysitting and am currently looking for full-time opportunities. Because of this, I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, pet sitting, and even last-minute bookings. Caring for animals already fits naturally into my everyday life, I grew up with dogs and cats, help care for my parents’ dog, and have two cats of my own! I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, active, and well cared for while their owners are away 💛 I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I know how important consistency is for animals and I always treat both pets and homes with respect and care. Since I have a dog and two cats of my own, I’m very familiar with reading animal behavior, giving pets attention and patience, and making sure they feel calm and cared for. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel comfortable knowing their pet is in good hands!
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.

“Brittany is awesome! My doggies are great and I’m sure they had a great time with her, she send me several pictures in every walk, and I could tell they were having fun! I really recommend Brittany, I know she is gonna take care of your babies with care and love.”
About: Hi, I’m Katie. I’m a college student and I don’t have many years of experience, but I’m looking to gain some. I’m probably the biggest pet person you’ll ever meet and I hope I can help you and your dog or cat. I currently am a college student and I don’t have a summer job or anything so I’m just looking for something to do on the side and keep me busy and something that will fit my schedule while also enjoying time with animals I have a fenced in yard with a boxer half lab who is very friendly with medium to small size dogs and does well with cats. I’m looking to make sure the owner is happy but even more to make sure their pet is happy.
About: I've had pet since my earliest memories. On top of caring for pets of my own, including cats, dogs, reptiles, arachnids, and more, I also fostered animals in southern Indiana for 5+ years. Now that I'm in the Cincinnati area I want to find a way to help animals again so I joined Rover! I currently work as a contractor for a delivery company so I choose my own hours, this way I have time to fit in the furry friends. I can come any time, day or night! When caring for pets in someones home I always make sure to have a list of things the pet parents want to make sure is done. I also make sure all cabinets and doors are secure before leaving a room, this way pets can't get into anything they shouldn't. When outside with the pups, I always make sure to keep them on the outside away from the road when walking on sidewalks.
About: What sets me apart from others is I will work tirelessly to ensure the care, love, safety, and health of your furry friend. As a pet owner myself, it’s really hard finding someone to trust, but I guarantee you nothing but absolute flexibility and perfection when taking care of your pet. I have complete open availability, and willing to work anytime or day Monday-Friday. One of my biggest priorities is to allow a stress free environment when it comes to scheduling. Depending on your dogs specific needs, I can follow any routine needed for your pet. This can range anywhere from walking, cleaning, giving medicine, etc.
About: *Note about rates and dates* I'm happy to discuss/negotiate amicably agreed upon $$rates but please understand, Rover takes 20% and I pet sit full time so this is my main source of income. Additionally, my sister is on Rover. Her name is Brett. If I'm unavailable, I highly recommend reaching out to her! She has 3 years experience pet sitting. Her link https://www.rover.com/sit/brettg06694 (scroll down for bio). I'm your pet's new best friend! Well sort of. You come first! 6 years experience taking care of multiple pets. Administered medications and special feedings. I've watched furry, fluffy and feathery pets from dogs and cats to chickens, bunnies and even a rat! I pet sit full time so I'm at your plaxe most of the day. Likely, I'll leave to workout, run errands, see friends but I will let you know if there's a particularly busy day and we'll discuss so you feel comfortable knowing your pet(s) is still being taken care of. Plenty of time to stay at your place overnight, teach fitness or clean a house then come back for quality time with your fur family. I DO NOT PROVIDE HOUSING AT MY HOME. I will gladly come to your residence and even stay overnight for your pets to alleviate any anxiety and make you and your family feel safe and at ease. References upon request. My business operates mainly by word of mouth. As of May 2021, I've worked full time as a pet sitter. To put it in perspective, I'm house/pet sitting 300/365 days of the year. Please check availability as my pet sitting schedule fills up quickly.

“Alycia took great care of Piper over the holiday. She was flexible with drop off and pickup times and easy to connect with. She sent pictures and videos daily of Piper having fun with other dogs and running around outside. It was fun seeing her having FUN. We will connect with Alycia again for dog care. Thank you Alycia ~”
“Rachel is a gem! She truly treats our Teddy like a member of her family. I don’t need tons of photo updates because Teddy is actually sad when he comes home — he loves being with Rachel that much! She is an exceptional dog sitter, and we gladly travel 30 minutes for her services.”
“Matthew & Jill were amazing and helped us feel very comfortable leaving our dogs in their care! They were flexible, caring, very professional and stayed in touch with me via text to let me know that our dogs were doing well throughout the week. We look forward to using your service again. Many thanks!”
“Want to drop a note of love for Tasha & Joe... my 2 boys have been going to them for almost 4 years now, and I can always rest easy knowing they are in a great home with attentive owners, and other fur friends too. I always appreciate the picture updates they provide too. They're the best!!”
“With out hesitation we rebooked our Winston & Riley Bichons with Abbie & her family in their great home environment for a week of loving care. The updates, pictures gave us comfortdaily. We have already booked our next visit with Abbie.”

“Avery agreed to watch our sweet Nim the day of & exceeded every expectation!! She worked so well with us, sent us daily updates, and welcomed Nim right into the family!”
“Tricia is the best! Our dog was having some bladder issues we didn’t know about and she was very patient and caring for him. We have used her a few times and will keep going back.”
“Our little guy seemed happy at Stephanie's house! The family was very nice, and their house is tucked in a cul-de-sac away from busy roads. We got updates and/or pictures most days, and Stephanie was always timely in her responses to any messages I sent her. We plan to use her again!”
“Roscoe had an amazing time with Tammi. He is a stubborn, curious hound but Tammi was great with him. She showed us the place and we felt completely comfortable leaving Roscoe with her. She sent us pictures and updates during his stay that showed how much fun he was having. He is a high maintenance dog and has a ton of energy but she was able to care for him perfectly. He came home happy and tired, which is exactly what we wanted. Tammi is great with all dogs and did an amazing job caring for our pup. Would absolutely recommend her and I will be booking with her again in the future!”
“I have used Patricia several times for my girl Dolly. She always does an amazing job. This stay my girl had some ear irritation going on and Patricia let me know and even picked up some ear drops for me and gave to her. It made me feel so happy to know my girl was in great hands. We now live in Indianapolis but even planned our trip to fly out of Cincy so Patricia could pet sit for us :) Highly recommend!”
“Katie was a perfect sitter for Nash! She gave him the attention and love he wanted, a great house to feel comfortable in and he almost didn’t want to leave!”
“They were amazing with our princess. Nani is very selective with the people she warms up to, but she fit right in for a midweek slumber party! Would recommend and can’t wait to book again!”
“Emily was amazing. We just got our pup less than a week before a family vacation. She was very accommodating helping potty train him, and teaching him commands. She sent pictures/ vidoes and updates daily. I was worried our pup wouldn't want to come home he was so happy. He was having so much much fun and was able to run and play. He was freshly bathed when we picked him up. Emily even accommodated a early drop off. I was completely pleased with the experience and felt comfortable on our trip. Our pup was in the best hands. Would definitely use her again in the future. I'm sure our puppy would agree and be happy to visit again!”
“Kelti&Tanner were incredible. Their home is so friendly, warm, and clean. They were incredibly flexible, communicative, responsive, and loving. We received plenty of proactive communication and couldn’t have asked for a better Rover experience. Jet & Sophie loved staying with them! We recommend them without any hesitation!”
“Susan was great! I would definitely use her again in the future. My dog seemed happy to be there the whole time and enjoyed hanging out with her dog. She sent updates and pictures everyday and handled his fear of thunderstorms with no issues. Thanks again!”
