Personalized care for your dog or cat - Covington
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Covington
“Bill and Haley are more than I could ask for in dog sitters… once after my fight got delayed, they were willing to bring my dog Sadie out to the car at 1 am, so I wouldn’t have to drive back the next morning. They go above and beyond in attention, care and kindness. I absolutely highly recommend their services!”
“Kelti and Tanner are absolutely amazing! My dog had such a wonderful time playing with their two dogs! I was super nervous using Rover at first but Kelti really put my mind at ease. I know they treated Abbey like she was their own and I can’t wait to book with Kelti and Tanner again in the future. I highly recommend them - way better than boarding at a kennel! Abbey received love, attention, and plenty of play time at their house!”
“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!”
“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.”
“My boys are pleasantly worn out after a sleepover with their new friends! I loved all the pictures and updates through the day. We will definitely be using Tasha and Joseph again!”
“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!”
“Rachel did a great job with my dog. She gave regular updates and made sure to keep him nice and cool in the sweltering summer heat. I know he had a great time because he came home exhausted!”
“Dash had a wonderful time! Loved all the pictures and updates I received while we were traveling. Very understanding and flexible with both pick up time and time differences. Would definitely send Dash back!”
“Omg! I don’t know where to start… Karen was amazing from the start of us booking her. Quick response and met with us ASAP. She always responded to my questions and wanted to really know about Mylo. My Mylo don’t do well with others besides a few. I had this feeling he would be great with her because of her first impressions and conversation. He will be back and we found a new sitter and family member for him. I highly recommend her. She is amazing!!!!! ?”
“Lisa was absolutely wonderful with our fur babies! We had never used rover before and were a little nervous leaving our dogs for so long over the holidays, but Lisa made me feel comfortable right away! She sent me multiple updates and pictures of my dogs everyday we were gone. She went above and beyond and my dogs were well taken care of! Will definitely use Lisa again!”
“Patricia was great watching our small herd of dogs, 2 large/older and 1 small/younger, at her place. Daily updates were timely and consistent. Very accommodating and our dogs loved her!”
“Cori and family are AWESOME! We have repeatedly taken our two dogs to be cared for and loved on by her and highly recommend. We have a super chill Lab and an anxiety-ridden GSD. And she flexes to both of their needs and has the patience and understanding to handle our GSD. Both require some special meds/foods. I know it is always a tough decision to leave your furbabies in someone else's hands but Cori and her family can give you peace of mind that your pups are having a fun, attentive vacation of their own and most importantly of all - they are safe and expertly cared for.”
“Maddie was an incredible sitter. She was very knowledgable and provided pictures and updates throughout the day. There is a big backyard which was great for Chester to get some energy out. I would absolutely request to use her again!”
“Highly recommend! My dog stayed here for a multiple day booking and had an amazing time. The sitter was fantastic and which allowed my dog to socialize and spend time around a friendly large breed dog, which was a wonderful bonus experience. It was great to see my dog so comfortable, well-cared for, and happily socializing. I will definitely use this sitter again in the future!”
“She is amazing and I can’t thank her enough . My pup is always well taken care of , she works with your schedule and is very knowledgeable. Grateful for finding her through Rover!”

“Haley is a lifesaver! My cat spent 2 weeks with her while I was in Europe. She sent me daily updates with pictures and was incredibly helpful when our flight was cancelled.”

About: Upon moving to Cincinnati, friends have consistently relied on me to care for their cats during vacation time! They receive a lot of attention from me in the form of treats, playtime, and snuggles! (If that’s their thing.) I love being a cat auntie! 🐈⬛🐈
“Johnnisha was amazing with my 2 kitties. She was caring, and followed the instructions I gave her. She shared tons of pictures with me (they made me so happy!) I’m so glad I found someone in town who I can trust when I’m out of town.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Covington
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’m patient, caring, and treat every pet like family. I enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule working a part time job that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting while making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I have experience caring for my fur babies and understand how important it is to provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I always prioritize each pet’s individual needs.
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!)
“Our dog has stayed with Lisa multiple times and our dog loves going there! Lisa always does a fantastic job communicating with us during the stay. Thank you Lisa!”
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“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’ve taken care of different breeds of dogs, As well as domestic kinds of animals. When working with different animals I make sure I know everything I can about their routine, training, schedules so that they are returned back to owner, the owner is very satisfied with my service with their pets. I connect very well with the animals so that they are very comfortable with me and so that owner feels confortabke entrusting me with their pets. 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. With senior dogs making sure any routine they are on with eating walking or any possible medications are kept on track. Please let me know if their are any questions. Currently I am a stay at home Mom. Any routine any owner needs me to stick with it will be worked with and stay on track with training. I can take 1-2 dogs at a time. I like to do meet and greets so that new pets and their owners can get to know me and feel comfortable with their pets being in my care. Would need to be potty trained and neutered/spade. I love animals that are cuddle bugs! I do not have a fenced in yard but my house large enough for play and can go on walks nearby by park by house. I make sure a gate is up in my house so I can keep an eye on all pets being watched.
“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!”
“Lexi was a life saver last minute and was great with my 2 month old puppy. She sent me lots of updates and my pup seemed to have a great time hanging out with her. Will book again!”
“Karen was great with Ivy. Ivy enjoyed playing with the other dogs and was very well taken care of. Would highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a dedicated sitter.”
About: Hello! I’m excited to meet your furry babies! I’ve had the joy of rescuing 15 dogs and 10 cats throughout my life. My family has banned me from volunteering at the shelter after I foster failed our three rescue pitties, all from Cincinnati Animal CARE. Currently, my home includes our three dogs, two cats, and a bearded dragon. My consulting business (nonprofit leadership and management) allows me to work from home and enjoy a flexible schedule. As a new empty nester, I have free time that I'd love to fill caring for your babies. I have experience caring for pets of all ages— from playful puppies and kittens to loving seniors. I can assist with everything from potty training and medication administration to wound care. As a responsible professional and avid pet lover, I promise to treat your pets as if they were my own! 🐶🐱 I work from home and am available 24/7 to care for your pets. With dogs of our own, our routine is perfectly set up for all potty, feeding, playing, and sleeping needs. In our house, pets reign supreme! I have a fenced yard and three friendly and playful dogs who will keep your pup company. I'm happiest when I have a dog snuggling next to me on the couch or a cat on my lap, and your pets will be well loved.
“Jessica was wonderful! She took great care of my pup and was super kind and patient with him, even when he was being shy and stubborn:) she communicated well and made sure to really ask all the questions needed, to know him, which is always so appreciated!!!”
About: I grew up with dogs as small as Chihuahuas and as large as Great Danes so I’m happy to accommodate dogs of any size and breed. I’ve had the opportunity to foster over a dozen strays with less than desirable beginnings, but I believe all pets can reach their full potential with love and attention. I love being outside so I’m down to take your dog for long walks if he or she is up for it. I have a flexible schedule so happy to work around you and your pets needs. I currently work from home and love breaking up my routine with caring for animals. Your pet would be a welcome addition to my day! Trust between a pet owner and sitter is essential so I’m always happy to do a meet & greet or test run before committing to any service.
About: When Covid started, I accidentally started my business by helping a couple people who adopted dogs outside of their care knowledge. Helping them with their working class dogs (pitbull, collie, and a GSP) and establish a better owner/pet relationship made me realize that this is the right move for my future. Since then I have started my own business as well as helping others with their new family member(s). No creature is too small or large for me. My smallest dog client is 3 pounds and the largest is 215. Aside from that I have expanded my practices with lizards, snakes, cats, and birds. Let me know if you have any questions in the meantime! I am home most of the day. I do part-time work in hospice as well as part-time classes; (I have a door bachelors degree already working towards a BSN). If you have a special needs animal, I am more than happy to comply with their schedule, I just need to know in advance as much as possible. I have a fenced in yard in the back (will have a fully fenced in yard by the end of August in the front). My dogs have a semi strict schedule of activities to keep them mentally/physically stimulated. I follow suit with everybody’s dog. Everybody eats in their own crate, is provided with soft bedding to sleep on in their own crate, but exercise thoroughly throughout the day.

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover with over 14 years of experience caring for dogs of various ages. I have a 5-year-old Australian Shepherd back home, who I personally helped train, and I previously cared for my family’s 14-year-old senior dog in her final days, so I understand the unique needs of both energetic and aging dogs. Spending time with them is incredibly therapeutic for me. I can’t wait to connect with your pup and provide the same love and care I give my own! Whether it’s walks, playtime, or special attention, I’m here to make sure they feel their happiest self! I really miss my dog back at home after moving here so looking to care for dogs occasionally when I have some free time on the weekends :) I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pup. I too, consider my dog my family and I can promise to care for yours in the same way, following any specific instructions you have for me. I moved on my own this summer so I’m looking forward to providing pups with my undivided attention when you (owners) need it most.
About: Family and friends started asking me to take care of their pets when I was around 15 years old. Ever since, I've taken care of dogs and cats (even a few lizards!) for people all over my hometown. I've done simple tasks like going to someone's home to just let the dogs out to potty and feed them, all the way to staying at people's homes while they're away. When I was between jobs as a teenager, I briefly worked for a local company that took care of pets on the daily. I've taken care of puppies, small dogs, big dogs, senior dogs who need meds and extra patience, etc. I have a huge heart and am a very empathetic person, especially when it comes to animals of any kind. I have always had a dog or dogs in my family, but am currently pet-less so I'll have all my love to give for your furbabies! I am currently unemployed for the next two months until I go back to school at the beginning of August. I’m very flexible when it comes to time up until then. If you continue with me until that time, then we can talk about what pet care will look like for me after that time frame. I currently do not offer care in my own home, but am more than willing to do whatever you need in your home. Walks, lots of hang out time, more than happy to find the nearest dog park to you (if your pups like others), maybe trips to the store for treats if you’re cool with it! I will always respect your boundaries no matter what.
“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.”
“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 pet sit for my neighbors when they go out of town. I treat their pets as if there my own. I ask numerous questions about the pet in question in order to properly care for the pet. I'm also very observant and cautious when it comes to a pets safety I'm currently unemployed trying to start a etsy and ebay store as well as a youtube channel. I'm also helping take care of my 97 year old aunt. my schedule is quite open. I love animals and they bring me great joy. hoping to make a little money and some new friends whether they are human or four legged. my parents never allowed me to have a pet so when our neighbors went out of time I jumped at the chance of watching their pets, I treated them with love and care as if they were my own.
“Taylor is outstanding. I’d give more stars if available. Not only did she help us out at short notice when traveling through the area, but she’s especially kind and caring. I would have no reservations working with her again or longer term. I know my girl would be in good hands. Thank you again!”
About: I've had animals all my life including cats, dogs, fish, and lizards. I was responsible for them at an early age and now, I have raised my cat and dog on my own to be responsible members of society. Hello! I am currently a 3rd Grade ELA teacher here in Cincinnati. I’ve had animals all my life and would love to take care of yours when you are not available. Right now my openings are only on the weekends, but that will soon change during the summertime! I have three floors for pets to explore, a fenced in patio, and I live near three parks that dogs could take advantage of frequently.
About: Growing up we always had dogs and cats, and I’ve been caring for my own dog and cat for the past four years. Also, my dog is a rescue who deals with anxiety. With that said, I have experience with dogs with anxiety, and am more than happy to provide extra love, affection, and gentleness for pets with anxiety. I can also administer some medications if needed. I’m also more than happy to clean any litter boxes and provide all the love and playtimes for the kitties out there! I currently only work a part time job, so I have lots of time to be of service to you and your animals! I also work in theatre, and have some rehearsals in the evenings. With that said I’m available before 5pm every day, and some days beyond that Due to my own dog’s anxiety and the smaller size of my home, I don’t offer boarding services. However, I’m more than happy to provide drop in services and walking services for anyone in the Cincinnati and surrounding areas!
“Brooklyn was great. She walked our dog 3 days a week. She was reliable, on time and an excellent communicator. She also watched our dog over a long weekend trip, it Wasson nice to know Stinger was being well cared for. Highly recommend.”
“Anise was fantastic with our pup! She stepped in last minute and dutifully walked her every day. Our dog warmed up to her right away and seemed to be happily exhausted after she left.”

About: I have had dogs in my family since I was about 8. I have worked with puppies from 2018-2020 I have fostered many dogs from Cincinnati Animal Care the past year. I currently am self employed and am home a lot for the time being. I am. really flexible with fitting pets into my daily/weekly routine currently. I have quick access to outside and there are dog friendly parks in my neighborhood that are only a 45 second walk. (usually never busy) I can crate the dog if needed or let them lounge if the owner approves! I can take dogs on short-long walks and can take them to any appointments if anything was planned ahead of time. Very flexible!
