“Drei had a fantastic time. He was loved and well cared for while we were away. Tasha and Joseph treated Drei as if he was their own and communicated with us daily with pictures. We already have two more trip planned and are planning on continuing with them watching Drei when we are gone”

“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.”

“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!”
“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!”

“Jane was our first time using Rover, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience! She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable with the stay by meeting Poppy beforehand, sent pictures and updates while she was there, and Poppy was happy (and worn out) when we picked her up! We will 100% be using Jane again, highly recommend.”

“What a fabulous family! It made my travel so much less stressful knowing she was in such a safe and caring place. Thanks so much to Jennifer & Robert and their daughter and son... oh and Murphy too!”


“Kelti & Tanner are awesome! They are committed to accommodating you and your pet in all ways possible (incl. waking up to feed your dog at 5:30 AM/6 AM on weekends) If you're like me, then you are anxious whenever you have to leave your pet. While my big boy (Koda, a 78-pound yellow/white labrador retriever) stayed with with Kelti & Tanner, I knew I had nothing to worry about. That peace of mind is priceless.”
“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!”

“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!”


“Karen is amazing! My dog absolutely loves Karen and gets excited when we pull Down her street. Karen keeps me updated as to how Piper is doing and genuinely cares about her.”

“Rachel is out of this world! She goes above and beyond for animals and you can truly see her passions for what she does. She is very kind, efficient, and flexible with scheduling! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone, and we will definitely be lifetime clients of hers!! She deserves more than 5 stars!”

“Our dog love his stay with Scott and Alycia. They were very accommodating, quick to communicate and sent us lots of pictures. William went on several walks, played tug with their dog and had a great time with them! Would recommend them to anyone!”

“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!”

“Bradley was fantastic! He looked after our 4 month old golden retriever puppy for several days on short notice, which is something not every sitter would be prepared to take on. He was fast to respond to all communications and kept us updated with pictures and messages while we were away. We felt very comfortable that Ollie was well looked after. I would definitely book him 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!”

“Our dog Bratwurst always has a great time with Amir! Would highly recommend Amir to any other dog owners! Amir is always communicative and thoughtful anytime we book a stay with him.”

“Misty did a wonderful job. This was the first time we left Daxter with a stranger and Misty shared photos to let us know how he was doing so we would not worry. We would use her again.”

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!

“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!”

“Angel was super attentive to my cats while I was away, and coordinated with me through complicated travel schedules to make sure they would get the care that they need! I’m super thankful for her 💙”


“This is the third time Katie helps us and, like always, she she was amazing with our cats! 💛 She sent detailed updates, gave our cats so much love and attention (appreciate the brushing and patio time!), and truly treated them like her own We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring hands. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”


About: I have checked in on my friend's cat, Otis, numerous times when my friend has been out of town. My time spent with Otis involves plenty of pets, playing with his favorite toys, and cuddles. I can't wait to expand my experience working more kitties soon!

“Crista was great with our four cats! She accepted our last minute booking request and was very responsive throughout the entire stay. She followed the detailed instructions we gave her and provided updates and photos at each visit. Highly recommend!”


“Carly was so reliable and responsive when we asked her to pop in on our cat Olive over Fourth of July weekend. She let Olive in/out at the designated times and always made sure she had fresh food and water (during a heatwave). Olive warmed right up to her and allowed her to give her some butt pats. Highly recommend Carly for any cat sitting needs, will definitely use her in the future!”


“Saul was amazing! He took great care of my cat while I was out of town, providing plenty of updates and sticking to her routine. My cat autumn, was very happy when he came to check on her. I highly recommend him!”

“Johnnisha was wonderful! She was accommodating and flexible with logistical challenges on our end. She took great care of our cat, sending plenty of pictures each 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!”

“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!”

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.
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.
“Second visit with Lauren was awesome. She sends lots of pictures throughout the day which I love. Will definitely continue to have my puppy stay with her!”

About: Early 40’s year old sitter/walker with car. You could say I have 40+ years of experience. My family had a German Shepherd from before I was born and I was very close to her. There has been a stream of pets in my family. Including so so so many cats in NYC. Even going so far as to “rescue” a half feral one. Currently, I share ownership of a dog. As a small business owner of over 10 years, I am able to have a flexible schedule and spend more time hanging out with your pet(s). That said, I have a lot of experience managing other people, and I do have high expectations for clear communication from clients. I have never had a complaint from clients that already have human children. I am very clear about the kind of care I offer. For example, I clearly state I can do 4-8 hrs for letting out. That does not mean that when I get to the sit, you tell me you expect every hour. I also do not cancel other bookings so that you can be the sole client. I have been through that, obliged, and the client was still dissatisfied. I am running a business and the new owner of this app runs on harsh algorithms that hide you in search. Let’s try to be better and more human, than conforming to private equity and their bottom line. For the fur babies, I can follow their diet and pet or play or brush their hair. As long as you give me a list or schedule, I'll do my best to provide it. I have extensive experience with pets at all stages of life. (As well as other kinds of pets which I am open to caring for.) I understand the care required for a wide variety of needs and can do my best to provide reinforcement on current training, but I am not going to be attuned right off the jump to the nuances noticed by your trainer or you... I can reinforce sit, lay down, paw, stay, heel, rollover, or anything else. I can administer medicine. I am not formally trained in pet CPR, but I am trained in human CPR and have looked at videos for pet CPR. When I was younger I worked as a lifeguard, and have a remarkable natural ability to stay calm and act fast in crisis situations. This comes in handy, for example: when protecting my maltipoo from other dogs, managing territorial behavior, or keeping one dog out of another dog’s bowl. My schedule is flexible and I have a car. I have a small business and partial responsibility of my dog, so I do need to be able to run errands, go to meetings, or check in at home to keep that part of my life running. For extended care, and distance further than 5 miles, I prefer be given the option to stay over at clients for the sake of gas costs, time, and energy. First meeting and approach are important to setting a precedent, I first see if the pet will approach me. I like to offer my hand palm down for them to smell. Sometimes it takes a few times smelling the hand before they feel comfortable letting me pet them. In my opinion it’s important not to mess up first impressions with the pet. Spending time together builds familiarity bonds, being attentive builds trust. It’s important to build rapport.
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.
“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!”

“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’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!)

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.
“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!”

“I’m a newbie to Rover, and a newbie dog owner. I’m a mama to the sweetest little guy, Pip, and he’s a huge mamas boy. In 2020, I adopted him from a humane society and was so excited, I forgot to ask about his story. However, I feel like I learn about him in different ways. I’ve learned he’s got some separation anxiety and doesn’t like being left alone. I cannot recommend Lisa enough, or thank her enough for taking Pip in for a day and caring for him. I was stressing out because I knew I’d be gone for at least 5 hours, possibly more. I didn’t know what to do with Pip and my options were unavailable. Lisa worked with me, was patient, kind, and understanding. Even as we first showed up, she talked to me and asked me questions. She introduced herself and you could just tell in a short chat that she has years of experience with animals. We absolutely will be back again! Thank you so much, Lisa! -Natalie & Pip”


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: My partner works from home and I work part-time, which gives us ample time to bond with our pets and care for other pets. Working from home allows us to provide frequent potty breaks, ensuring your dog's comfort and well-being throughout the day. Our spacious backyard provides ample room for playtime and exercise, guaranteeing that your pet stays happy and active. My dog, Meika, adores play sessions with fellow furry friends, and gets along with almost any dog. Your pup will receive the love, attention, and care they deserve in the comfort of our home. My partner and I work from home and have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I will make sure to follow your furry friend’s daily schedule of potty breaks, feeding, and bed time. Please let me know if you have any special requests or specific needs. I am very attentive, responsible, respectful, playful, and caring. I will follow your pet’s schedule and give daily updates. Will be happy to accommodate specific requests.

About: I’m currently studying to be a vet assistant. Since I was a kid I’ve loved animals and have accumulated lots of knowledge over the years. I’ve been trusted to care for many family pets. I’m very calm and patient, and I’m excited to have the opportunity to care for your pets as well! I’m currently working part-time, early mornings. Mid-week, afternoons and weekends are the best times for me to care for and play with your babies! I live in a very quiet home and a very quiet neighborhood. We can sit and relax while I knit or easily walk down to the nearby observatory, park, or town square.

About: I've had cats my whole life! Recently I've fostered six cats (including some kittens) and foster failed my current cat, Goose. I'm studying for medical school exam and have some free time for extra cuddles. Growing up, I frequently cared for my family's two mini Schnauzer's and would love to take your dogs for walks too! I am currently studying for medical school board exams and have a flexible routine that has plenty of time to check in on your furry friends. Not all cats are created equal and I pride myself on being able to read your cat's body language to determine what they need from me. I have experience walking dogs in a busy city environment.
“Alexandru was phenomenal!! I scheduled him day of and then repeated for a week out. He was able to walk my pup with no issues (he’s a big 80lb dog with some reactivity). Will definitely be back to use him again!!”

“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 loved dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. As a medical student, I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and comfortable following specific instructions, whether that means administering medications, sticking to feeding schedules, or accommodating special needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away! I'll treat your pet with the same care and attention I'd want for my own. My availability varies throughout the year because I'm a medical student, but I keep my calendar updated and only accept bookings that I can fully commit to. When I'm caring for your pet, I make reliability and communication a priority. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or pet sitting, I'll provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is receiving excellent care! Safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and exercise. I'm attentive to changes in behavior and understand the importance of keeping pets secure both inside and outside the home. I respect my clients' homes as if they were my own and strive to provide a calm, stress-free experience for both pets and owners.
About: I have had many sitting jobs and always give my best care to my clients, their house, their pets and have always been super reliable I am a Xavier alumni and I am a current graduate student at Mount St. Joseph University and I get done with classes in the afternoon. I am available on most weekends as well. I will always make sure to follow any instructions to provide the best care and will always be interactive with the pet and the client
“Bethany is an amazing person for your dog! When it comes to walking, she took her time with my dog and gave her so much love. My dog is usually anxious around new people, but immediately took to Beth! I would 100% recommend her for dog walks, house stays, and more.”

About: Hoping to bring lots of love and care to Cincinnati families and their pups! I’m happiest when surrounded by dogs — they’re loving, joyful, and beautifully free spirits. My sweet dog, Saavy, passed away in February, and I miss her terribly. Getting back on Rover feels like a wonderful way to share that love again while spending time with amazing doggies. I’m especially experienced with rescue dogs and skittish or anxious pups. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, kind, and dependable to care for your furry family members. I’m always happy to meet beforehand so you and your pup feel comfortable and confident. I love being active and outdoors — walking, running, practicing yoga, and playing tennis — so your dog will get plenty of attention, movement, and affection. I live in East Walnut Hills and prefer caring for pups in their own homes, where they feel safest, most secure, and comfortable. Currently accepting new clients for: • Daily walks • Drop-in daily care • Overnight stays/boarding in your home I’m flexible and happy to work with your budget when possible. I look forward to connecting with you and meeting your sweet pups soon! Very flexible. I work from home and happy to accommodate schedules and walks. Daily walks, doggie day care, and boarding in your home. Thank you! I will follow your recommended guidelines for your pup. Dogs are always welcome to roam free and even sleep with me if permitted by owners:)
“Wolf was amazing! We booked last minute and had some changes in our itinerary, but was still very according. Romeo was so happy when he got back from his walk with Wolf. Will be booking again! Thank you!”

About: I’ve been dog sitting and walking dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve had experience with young puppies as well as dogs nearing the end. I will give your dog all the love it deserves and will treat them like my own! I am a full time nurse with varying hours but I do not work weekends and holidays! Would be available on days off, in the evenings and on the weekends. I will respect and care for your home and pet like it is my own! You can expect to come home and feel as though everything is exactly how you left it!
“Allison has been great! Super friendly and helpful when scheduling, and she has great availability. This is the second time she's taken our Aussie pup on a walk to help get some energy out. Love getting the pictures of her time with him and the note she leaves about their time together. Will definitely keep using Allison”


“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: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I had the most wonderful Labrador Retriever! I believe dogs make us better people and that they deserve all the love and attention that we can give them. I’m available two days per week to walk dogs! I am able to do long or short walks; whatever your needs are for your dog. I am careful to make sure that the dogs are safe and comfortable. When leaving my dog, I always let them go outside to potty, give a treat, check to make sure their space is clean and safe, and leave.
About: I have had pets for my whole life. Most of my friends called my house a "zoo" growing up because of the wide range of animals we had around the house, from puppies to snakes to pigs- we had it all. When caring for another animal, I treat it like it were my own. I always saw my pets as an extension of my own family and want to treat all animals the same way. I am currently home from college right now, so I am flexible. I have 3 pets of my own who I take care of, other than that I am free. It depends on the pet and their individual needs. I have a dog, but he is extremely active and loves being outdoors, so letting him out every hour or couple minutes is important for him. Whereas, another dog may not enjoy. being outside as much or have certain medical needs that prevents them from running. I love cuddling up on the couch with my pets (dog and two cats), and giving them affection. I also enjoy spending time with them by getting them active and playing their favorite games/ toys.
“Anise immediately clicked with my pup and I know he is in great hands when they are together! I also really appreciate how reliable and responsive she is”

“Drei had a fantastic time. He was loved and well cared for while we were away. Tasha and Joseph treated Drei as if he was their own and communicated with us daily with pictures. We already have two more trip planned and are planning on continuing with them watching Drei when we are gone”

“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.”

“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!”

“What a fabulous family! It made my travel so much less stressful knowing she was in such a safe and caring place. Thanks so much to Jennifer & Robert and their daughter and son... oh and Murphy too!”


“Kelti & Tanner are awesome! They are committed to accommodating you and your pet in all ways possible (incl. waking up to feed your dog at 5:30 AM/6 AM on weekends) If you're like me, then you are anxious whenever you have to leave your pet. While my big boy (Koda, a 78-pound yellow/white labrador retriever) stayed with with Kelti & Tanner, I knew I had nothing to worry about. That peace of mind is priceless.”
“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!”


“Karen is amazing! My dog absolutely loves Karen and gets excited when we pull Down her street. Karen keeps me updated as to how Piper is doing and genuinely cares about her.”

“Rachel is out of this world! She goes above and beyond for animals and you can truly see her passions for what she does. She is very kind, efficient, and flexible with scheduling! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone, and we will definitely be lifetime clients of hers!! She deserves more than 5 stars!”

“Our dog love his stay with Scott and Alycia. They were very accommodating, quick to communicate and sent us lots of pictures. William went on several walks, played tug with their dog and had a great time with them! Would recommend them to anyone!”

“Bradley was fantastic! He looked after our 4 month old golden retriever puppy for several days on short notice, which is something not every sitter would be prepared to take on. He was fast to respond to all communications and kept us updated with pictures and messages while we were away. We felt very comfortable that Ollie was well looked after. I would definitely book him 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!”

“Our dog Bratwurst always has a great time with Amir! Would highly recommend Amir to any other dog owners! Amir is always communicative and thoughtful anytime we book a stay with him.”

“Misty did a wonderful job. This was the first time we left Daxter with a stranger and Misty shared photos to let us know how he was doing so we would not worry. We would use her again.”

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!
“Lauren and Wynn took great care of our pup! Communication was terrific with photos and updates shared regularly. They were flexible on the pick-up and drop-off times. And Vivi came home happy, healthy, and exhausted from playing. Highly recommend!”

“Our dog seemed to have a great time staying with Lauren and her dog. Her house is lovely and she does an excellent job of sharing photos and communicating throughout the stay. Highly recommend!”

“I boarded my sweet 9mo Cavalier puppy with Tricia for a weekend, and it was obvious she had the best time! Daisie looked so happy in each picture Tricia sent and was the sleepiest I’ve ever seen when I picked her up. She had a blast! It was Daisie’s first boarding so I was nervous how she would do, but it all went great. And I appreciated how accommodating Tricia was to my somewhat last minute booking and changing meet/pickup times. It gave me such peace of mind on my trip to know Daisie was being so well cared for. Will be booking again!”

“Jenny and her family and dog were wonderful hosts for our dog Gretel. Gretel got walks and affection and seemed very comfortable there. A very responsible and caring host. We will be happy to have Gretel stay with them again.”
