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!”
“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!”
“This was our dog's second stay with Deana and Gerald. They again took wonderful care of Savannah. They go out of their way to make sure she feels comfortable and are willing to deal with her little quirks. It is obvious that they love dogs! We are grateful to have found Deana and Gerald and highly recommend them!”
“I would recommend Stephanie and family! Stephanie provided day to day updates to keep me informed of Georgia's comfort level. While she has been timid around new people in the past, Georgia adapted well with this family. Thank you!”

“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.”

“Susan is fantastic! She takes such great care of our Salsa and always sends lots of pictures. We are so grateful that we can feel so at ease about leaving our kitty at home when we know Susan will be stopping by. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Emily took such good care of our cats while we were away. It's always stressful to leave our cats for an extended period and finding someone who can take care of them is another challenge. With Emily, she went above and beyond to care for our three cats with their very different diets and needs, that also included double daily visits and she even trekked out during a winter storm to make sure they had what they needed. She always provided us with updates and photos, and was very respectful of our home while we were away. We can't recommend her enough and hope she will be available for any of our future requests because she is simply the best!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over four years now, pups of all ages!! 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! I can do drop bys during the day, stay over night, or even just a simple walk, whatever you may need. My schedule is very flexible and open! Depending on what you need, I can do it!

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!

“Shelby is just THE BEST!! I will ALWAYS have her come if she is available!🥰 She gave me so much comfort and peace of mind! She was so kind and willing to do whatever for my girls♥️ My girls loved her! HIGHLY RECOMMEND🤗”
“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!”
“Crista provided great companionship for Mozz while I was out of town. Her comments were funny, cute, and true! Thanks for loving mozz like your own :)”
“Corey is the best! He has been regularly dropping in on my two pups for a few weeks now and they absolutely love him. He is reliable, punctual, and just has a kind and calming presence. He knows and understands dogs well, and that experience shows. I would trust him with my pets any day!”
About: I’ve take care of dogs and cats over the years, for mostly friends and family. I also have three cats myself, and love meeting new pets! I will take care of your pets like my own. I work from home so my schedule is super flexible! I can make drop in visits around meetings and come, if you need very particular time needed for a drop in I can accommodate that.

Whatever your pet needs, or you need to be comfortable while gone, can definitely do because I get it!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Cold Spring
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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: I have years of pet care experience. I’m great at walking dogs, playing with them, and giving them all the attention they need. I’m different from other sitters and walkers mainly because I have been around pets my whole life. I’ve even done volunteer work with both dogs and cats. I love going to the dog park when the weather is nice plus taking trips to petsmart and Petco to let my dog interact with new animals and people is fun for me. Seeing an animal grow by learning something new or just become more loving is a goal I present myself with every time I care for a dog. I’ve cared for animals so much that I even wanted to become a vet one day.
“Akita is professional, very responsive and amazing! My fur baby felt at home immediately. He even ate his food which he never does when he’s away from home. She was so accommodating and did such a wonderful job taking him on plenty of walks and potty breaks! He was so excited for day 2 daycare. I’m so happy I found a forever sitter for my baby! Thank you Akita!”
“John was very nice and accommodating. He was able to fulfill a last min request and our dogs came back safe, and happy. I Would definitely work with John again!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child. We groom our cocker spaniels. If you want your dog bathed or groomed we can provide the service for an additional fee. Your dog will be loved and have playmates while you are away. My husband Marcus and I will feed and walk your pet. Walking is usually 1 time a day unless other instructions are given. We crate our dogs at night. I work weekends in a hospital. Marcus and our children are home on the weekends. Weekdays we are both home. We provide care and love around the clock. Marcus and/or I will always be there for your loved one. We have a fenced yard and 10 dogs to play with your dog. We will feed, walk and play with your fur baby. If you’re fur baby needs a bath or a groom we could possibly provide that service. We bathe, dry and groom our 7 cocker spaniels, yorkpompoo, and cavalier King Charles spaniel at home.
About: I’m Olivia and I love all animals, but dogs hold a special place in my heart and I can’t wait to meet yours! In addition to helping care for family pets for as long as I can remember, I have over 13 years experience caring for friends and neighbor’s dogs. I’m confident caring for all breeds, age, and size of dog! I began boarding and dog-sitting on Rover in 2019. I’m actively accepting new clients and excited to meet some new pups! ......... I have a 5 y.o. Goldendoodle, Mookie, who is my world. In addition to caring for him, I’d love to help you care for your babe. I take caring for pets very seriously, and wish to make it a positive experience for everyone! I am responsible, kind, and timely. I look forward to cuddling, playing, walking, and caring for your fur baby! Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions. Currently I WFH and am available for boarding and occasional drop in visits. Your pet will be given my undivided attention during my time caring for them! I have one dog who no longer uses a crate while I am out of the house, but I can crate your pet upon request. All necessary measures are taken if I need to leave your fur baby alone for any reason (ex. Crating, calming music, medicine, etc.- whatever you specify that makes your baby comfortable!)
“Lexi was absolutely amazing! Super communicative and I could tell our dog Stanley had the best day with her. Definitely recommended and we will be going back!”
“Lisa was very knowlegable and communicated throughout the day about what my pup was up to. I initially had some concerns as my dog is a Siberian Husky who are known for their big personality and who sometimes find trouble when their needs arent met. Thankfully Lisa has experience with the breed, and my pup got plenty of play, walks, and mental stimulation through the day.”
“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!”
“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: Since about 12 years old my neighborhood friends would hire me to dogs sit while their family went out of town. I’ve always had a huge amount of love for animals so I never had any problem doing so. Fast forward 5 years later my parents began breeding French bulldogs. My siblings and I had a lot of responsibility on our hands are far as feeding them, bathing, keeping them groomed, making sure they’re up to date on shots and etc. I currently work from home so that’s enables me with plenty of free time to walk, play with/take to the park, and feed your lovely animals! In my home my dog is crate trained. I do have a crate for my puppy for if friends come over and are not comfortable with him I can put him away for a few hours. I prefer all animals be crate trained , but only go to the crate if they would like to do so. I do not mind dogs walking around my house. I have a puppy of my own so every morning I get up and take my puppy on a 30 minute walk as well as every evening once I get home from work. I have an animal friendly house so I usually let pups/kittys run around the house as long as they’ve been fed and taken out for a potty break.

“Bethany did an amazing job with our dog Lily. She gave plenty of updates, pictures,and lots of care! She even went above and beyond and brought in some flowers for us and brought in our trash cans while we were away. We cannot thank you enough for your help this week! I would gladly trust Bethany again. 💖”

“Ginger has been amazing with my dog! Her availability is amazing and she has helped me a ton when it comes to last minute bookings. My schedule at the hospital is crazy and I often work longer hours and I know that my dog is being cared for and loved by her when I am not home. I can’t recommend her enough!”
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.
“Corey is an excellent dog walker. My dog really enjoys being with him. He's a good listener and it's clear that working with animals is Corey's passion. He's great with communication too!”
About: I’ve always been around dogs, I’ve grown up with 4 dogs and I love them all. I work at pet supplies plus, so I see many dogs throughout my work shifts and making them happy and comfortable is what I love to do!! I am currently a student at Northern Kentucky University and work part time at Pet Supplies Plus. I have most afternoons/evenings free as I have classes in the morning as well as my work shifts. I am completely free on Saturday afternoons and Sundays! I focus on caring for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, and prioritize safety, routine, and attention.
About: I have handled dogs for the entirety of my life, all sizes from small to large, and with a fenced yard, they will have space!! I will be at home all the time, and will be able to give 100% attention to your animal while they are in my care. I have a fenced yard and two fur babies to keep your dog company. I can crate your animal if needed, but have space for your animal to explore
“Cathy is a wonderful dogwalker! She was conscientious and caring regarding my older dog's needs. She communicates well and provided photos daily. Cathy made me feel at ease in trusting her with my dog and in my home.”
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: 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.
“Booked Tiffany to walk my dog and couldn’t have been happier! She sent photos and took care of her like she was her own! Will definitely be using her again! If you’re looking for someone that is both trustworthy and caring look no further and book Tiffany today!!”
About: I’ve walked dogs of every breed weekly for 5 years at an animal shelter, so I have lots of experience caring for and walking dogs of all shapes and sizes. I can handle large dogs and small dogs without issue, I love all dogs equally!! I was taught all the signs of dogs so I know how to read their emotions and adjust accordingly. I love to play with dogs and cuddle as well when they are up for it. My family has had a dog my whole life so I have lots of care experience. I work full time during the week (7-3), so after and before work is when I can walk or let out dogs. My weekends are completely free for boarding, walking, and sitting! I can also let dogs out on my lunch break depending on distance. I have 1 dog in my home, he is a sweetheart so no worries there! I also live alone so no issues with roomates or space. I have a yard and a dog park in my neighborhood, but it is not fenced. I pay strict attention to dogs I am watching and make sure they are always happy and healthy, I do not take my eyes off of them! I walk dogs focused with no music or phone distraction to make sure I am ready for anything, and I have handled aggressive dogs often and can adjust when needed. I always clean up if accidents happen, and I leave places better than I found them, always!
About: I’ve grown up taking care of my own dogs and cats as well as dog sitting for neighbors and family friends! I have experience with various breeds and different sized dogs! I love them all:) I am a Registered Nurse, so I have multiple days off a week to spend caring for and loving on your pets while you’re away! I am incredibly flexible on how you would like your pet to be walked, groomed, fed, etc.! Your pet is so important and I want to be able to provide you with relief that they are well loved while you are away!
“Suzanna was awesome! We have 3 dogs all of which are pretty high maintenance but one is extremely high maintenance due to be a senior. She did everything we asked and was so sweet and extremely responsive. We will use her again and are so happy to have found her.”
“Megan has taken good care of our older pup who has a lot of quirks and particular needs. She communicates well, shows up promptly, and has patience when walking with our 17 year old girl.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for years, whether they were mine or “temporarily mine” while helping family and friends. I also worked at a vet clinic for a few years, so giving medications is no problem. Expect lots of love, safe care, and happy tails. I work a full-time office job, so lunch breaks are my excuse to escape the desk and hang out with dogs. Perfect for midday walks or quick pop-ins to stretch legs, give potty breaks, and share some love. I care for pets as if they were my own, always following the owner’s routine and preferences. In my clients’ homes, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get potty breaks or walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m comfortable giving medications if needed and keeping an eye out for any changes in behavior or health.
