“Leeann was absolutely wonderful with our little guy. She provided regular updates and even sent some pictures. We are so happy with the decision to book Leeann and will definitely use her again for future trips!”
“Abbie took great care of our dogs when we were out of town. They both get anxious about boarding and when we picked them up they were calm without any of the behavioral problems we sometimes experience. She has a big back yard and her house is comfortable for dogs with all sorts of needs. Definitely planning on reaching out again next time we go out of town.”
“Really took incredible care of my buddy and kept me updated every day with texts and photos. Will be first call next time I head out of town and cannot bring him.”
“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!”
“Angel was great watching my dog! She provided pictures throughout boarding as well as updates on how he was doing. It helped relieve a lot of stress with leaving my dog for the first time.”
“Simon loved staying with Dana! Dana sent pictures throughout Simons stay and made sure to answer any questions we had. It was a home away from home for Simon. I would book again and I highly recommend!”
“Hailey was excellent! Anything I asked, she responded quick. I felt comfortable leaving Wynter in her care and he returned home happy and relaxed. When I dropped him off, it was easy and effortless. I really appreciate the help from Hailey. Will definitely book again 👌”
“We haven't left our dog very much so we were a little nervous about how he would do away from us for two days. Ruth was fantastic. She was flexible with our arrival time and very communicative, both before, answering all our questions, and during our dog's stay, sending pictures and a video of him. Our dog loved the backyard and seemed calm and content when we picked him up. We highly recommend Ruth and would definitely have her keep our dog again!”
“My puppy was well looked after with Dianna E and her family. She has 2 other friendly dogs in the house that seemed to adjust to my 9 month old puppy quite quickly. Dianna sent me a picture or video almost every day which helped ease my worries. This was the first time I left my puppy with anyone so I naturally was concerned about him fitting in. She has a very large back yard and I know my dog had plenty of exercise. She is trust worthy and loves the dogs which is a must with a sitter. Thanks so much!”
“Jane was wonderful with Penny. Our dog was feeling separation anxiety and she was so kind and patient. She sent lots of pictures and I felt very good about leaving her with Jane. This is our second time using Jane and I’d definitely use her again. Thank you so much!!”
“Metrica kept me updated along the way with check ins and photo/video. Lexi was happy when I dropped her off and picked her up. Metrica accommodated my diva little girl perfectly. Would definitely use again.”
“Laura is the best! She constantly sent us pictures and videos of Teddy. We could tell he was having fun and was relaxed. You can tell that Laura has a love for dogs. We will definitely have her watch Teddy again!😊🦋”
“Such an amazing experience! Our dogs loved being there they got a spa day! And a nice hike in they were definitely worn out when they got home which I loved coming back from a trip! Drop off and pick up was very easy. We absolutely will book them again.”
“Amanda was amazing! She sent me so many pictures and updates while I was gone so I never had to stress how my girl was doing. Will definitely use her again in the future when needed!”
“Tammi is the best!!! ❤️ Takes super great care of your furry family members. Is concerned about special needs and any comfort requirements your pet may need. Is by far the beat pet "boarding " experience we've had.??”
“This was our first experience using Rover and I was really nervous. Rachelle did a great job at answering all my questions and quelling my nerves. She took excellent care of my fur babies, and communicated well. If we’re ever back in the Cincinnati area, I would definitely use her as a boarder for my dogs again.”
“**Review for Jamie:** Jamie was fantastic! She watched our dog Sarge for a full week and did an amazing job. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which made us feel completely comfortable and at ease while we were away. Sarge clearly had a great time too. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”

“Abbie was excellent. She went above and beyond to make sure Koda was well taken care of. She set updates and pictures to keep me informed on how Koda was doing. I would definitely book with Abbie again!”
“Brooke was great with my kitty. She came in daily for a week and I could tell Ravi was very comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Brooke to all! This was my first time using Rover and Brooke was very responsive which put me at ease.”
About: I have several years of experience taking care of pets of all kinds. I had a rescue pitbull for 10 years who was my very best friend! He has since crossed the rainbow bridge and I currently do not have any pets of my own, so I am happy to spend time taking great care of other people’s furry friends!

I will treat your pet as if they were my own and do everything I can to make sure they are as happy and comfortable as possible while you are away. I will also take great care to respect any and all rules/guidelines established by the pet owner!
“Amanda is great! I’m an anxious cat mom when I have to leave them😅, but I love the updates she always sends of them! One of my cats is super skiddish but she’s been slowly coming out to visit her! & The other one loves play time 😂”
“Missy was so wonderful with my puppy Corbin! I had zero concerns leaving him in her hands. She was very communicative, followed directions, was respectful of my home, and was detailed in her updates. The photos she included in her updates were the highlight of my day! I could tell she really enjoyed her time with him and he was having fun and felt safe with her. Thank you so much, Missy!!!”

“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: When I was a nanny of 5 years, I spent extended time with the family's two cats (one senior, one kitten)! I have experience pet sitting for senior animals as well, including pets with special dietary needs due to age.
“This is the first time I’ve used a pet sitter instead of boarding my cat Cali as I felt she would be more comfortable in her own home. I came across the Rover website and booked a sitter close to my home. My cat has an automatic feeder for dry food as well as a water fountain. So, the only “services” I needed were to feed her wet food in the evening and clean the litter box. I met with my sitter, Amy, and explained how to access my home, where to dispose of litter etc. Amy did an excellent job and even went above and beyond to try and get a photo of Cali, who hides from strangers. Thai has been a great experience and I will definitely use Rover and Amy again.”
“Was able to spend my Christmas stress-free knowing my babies were in good hands! I appreciate all the pictures and updates of our kitties. I felt she understood and respected our kitties needs and personality! Thank you so much!”
“Cathy was great with my cats. My shy cat even came around to her. She communicated with me daily while on vacation. I was able to enjoy my vacation so much more knowing my cats were well taken care of.”

“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!”
“Angel is great! It was our first experience leaving our Zoey with a sitter. Angel kept in contact with us during the day and even sent pics. We brought Zoey back for a second stay 2 days later while we were on vacation so we could do our thing and we would be at ease knowing Zoey was in good hands. We would definitely use Angel again if needed.”

About: **I’m currently offering lower rates than I normally would in order to get my foot in the door with Rover! :) Thank you so much for supporting a Rover newbie! 💗** Hi! 🤗🐕🩷 I’m Alexus and I have been baby-sitting (pets & humans!) for over 9 years now for family, friends, neighbors, and even strangers who have simply heard good things about me from others! People have kept me as their sitter for years because they know they can count on me to be responsible, attentive, communicative, & honest with them while their babies are in my care! 🐶🐱🐰🐹 I’m down-to-earth, calm, and will always be patient & kind to animals of any kind and will respect your home with utmost care. 🏡💕 When you are missing your babies, don’t hesitate to ask for an extra picture or video of them if you want more! I love taking cute photos of every animal I meet and will spoil them with affection. 🌅💗🐩 I will also strictly adhere to any checklist or request that you have— my mission is to give your baby the stability, love, and care that they expect in their daily routine. Whether it is sitting, boarding, walking, or basic grooming, I will provide the home away from home for them by meticulously following directions for specific exercise regimens, dietary restrictions, training (e.g. taking a puppy out to potty every 30-45 min. & rewarding with praise & treat), medication administration, etc. 🍼🧴🧸🎾💊🦮 I will NEVER, under any circumstance, use punishment or fear-instilling tactics. I am a lifelong dog-lover and a dedicated advocate of humane training & treatment of animals.

I understand what it’s like to need a last-minute booking, and I will happily take same-day requests! I am currently available 24/7 for all pet care needs. In my home, your babies will enjoy a squeaky clean, comfortable newly-remodeled living room and guest bedroom, as well as a .5-acre fenced-in backyard (will remain leashed while outside) with enriching landscape in a cozy, quiet tucked-away neighborhood. I allow doggies on the couches, but will gladly redirect any dogs away from furniture through positive reinforcement (NEVER PUNISHMENT) if you would like. In your home, I will meticulously adhere to every standard you request and proactively communicate with you regarding in-home checklists as needed.

About: I've always have dog in my life, and my passion for dogs will last forever. My friend told me that I don't treat my dogs as dogs but babies. Remember, a genuine love for animals and a commitment to their well-being are at the heart of any successful pet care experience! I'm currently full time house wife with 2 dogs, no kids. My daily routines are my dogs, so I have a lot of time to watch yours too! We walk 4 times a day, and enjoy homemade dog treat and food. I don't have yard so I walk dogs instead (3-4 times a day), and I always clean them right after walking so they are allowed on furniture. Remember, a walk a day keep vet away. I do have crates if needed.

About: We’ve had animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm in southern KY I am used to caring for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, birds, miniature pigs, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, etc! Our animals have always been apart of our family and go where we go! Our animals are allowed on the furniture, sleep in our bed, and love to visit our parents house! I am a stay at home mom so adding a pet into our daily routine is actually pretty easy! We’re used to care for our own dog! We just have them join whatever we’re doing which makes it easier. I have two Littles who love to play outside and take them walks so I usually just have our pups tag along! Our pups routine is usually out to pee in the morning, a walk after her breakfast, lots of outdoor play or sunbathe time while me and my two kiddos play our back, another walk once the kids take their naps, more play time with the kids, another walk after dinner, then a pee break before we get into bed for the night! I’m home all day as a stay at home mom and my husband is fully remote so our pup is used to having somewhere there for whatever she needs or when we do go out and about if we’re able to we take her! Our dog frequents our parents house for even more cuddles and play! Animals are always part of the family on our end.
“Lisa was amazing with our dog! We were so nervous because it was his first time staying with someone other than family and Lisa eased all our fears, answered questions, and sent several updates throughout the day, including pictures of our sweet boy enjoying his day! We are so grateful and will definitely go to Lisa again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs a few years now, and also have a history of nursing school which helps in my caring of animals. I really spend quality time with the pets and make sure to give them rewards :) I am currently unemployed until I start a new job in August which gives me a lot of quality time to spend with the doggies! I can easily crate your dog if needed to, and also provide a safe environment at your house to where the dog still feels protected with a new person at their home.

“Karen did a fantastic job caring for my Loki. She made sure that my dog was safe and took my extremely attached dog with her wherever she went. Which I really appreciated because my dog hates being alone. She provided me with updates throughout the day. I felt my baby was really well cared for a safe while in her care.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid. I foster to adopt dogs right now. Have plenty of space to love more while I can I am home outside of errands and can manage your dogs while you are at work. They will have frequent potty breaks and lots of room to play. Dogs are apart of the family. They are allowed on the furniture and the beds, we have extra play space and the house is baby proof.
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.

“Sydney is an excellent two-dog walker. My high-energy pups are already recognizing her and getting excited about their walks with her. I just stepped outside to retrieve them and they were sitting politely and picture-perfect.”

About: Growing up, I always had a dog in my house. I have had 3 Labrador Retrievers throughout my life and have absolutely fallen in love with all dogs! I babysit my neighbor’s dogs all the time and enjoy every minute of it. I treat any dog like family and give them all the cuddles they need! I work full time but have a flexible job that I can work from home if need be! I take my dogs on daily morning walks and evening walks! If I work from home midday walks are part of our routine. Fenced in yard. Ability to work from home. 24/7 care and love! Pets allowed on any and all furniture! It’s a true dog’s world and I’m just living in it.
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’m currently a veterinary student set to graduate in less than 2 years! I am home for the summer and would love to help take care of any and all lovely pets! I am able to completely revolve my schedule around your pet if needed. I am happy to walk, train, or just love on your pet. It will bring me the greatest joy! As a veterinary student, I am CPR-certified and well-educated in animal needs. I will be sure to keep the health of your pet my primary job, as well as making sure they get loads of love!!!
About: I’ve been a pet owner since childhood, and known from a young age how much responsibility caring for a dog is, and how important it is for their well-being. I love getting to know other dogs personalities, because each one is so interesting! Not only can I teach them what I know, they can teach me as well. I've had multiple dog-sitting gigs from family and friends, but I'm ready to expand to meet new dogs! I recently finished my graduate program and waiting to start my new job. If I am not traveling, I am usually available any days of the week for walks and dog sitting! I have a yellow lab of my own that lights up when meeting new dogs. I have a fenced in backyard with grass and trees for dogs to play with each other or with me! I can always help dogs released some energy with fetch, or even more with a long walk (at least as long as they can handle).

“Abbie took great care of our dogs when we were out of town. They both get anxious about boarding and when we picked them up they were calm without any of the behavioral problems we sometimes experience. She has a big back yard and her house is comfortable for dogs with all sorts of needs. Definitely planning on reaching out again next time we go out of town.”
“Really took incredible care of my buddy and kept me updated every day with texts and photos. Will be first call next time I head out of town and cannot bring him.”
“Hailey was excellent! Anything I asked, she responded quick. I felt comfortable leaving Wynter in her care and he returned home happy and relaxed. When I dropped him off, it was easy and effortless. I really appreciate the help from Hailey. Will definitely book again 👌”
“My puppy was well looked after with Dianna E and her family. She has 2 other friendly dogs in the house that seemed to adjust to my 9 month old puppy quite quickly. Dianna sent me a picture or video almost every day which helped ease my worries. This was the first time I left my puppy with anyone so I naturally was concerned about him fitting in. She has a very large back yard and I know my dog had plenty of exercise. She is trust worthy and loves the dogs which is a must with a sitter. Thanks so much!”
“Laura is the best! She constantly sent us pictures and videos of Teddy. We could tell he was having fun and was relaxed. You can tell that Laura has a love for dogs. We will definitely have her watch Teddy again!😊🦋”
“Such an amazing experience! Our dogs loved being there they got a spa day! And a nice hike in they were definitely worn out when they got home which I loved coming back from a trip! Drop off and pick up was very easy. We absolutely will book them again.”
“Tammi is the best!!! ❤️ Takes super great care of your furry family members. Is concerned about special needs and any comfort requirements your pet may need. Is by far the beat pet "boarding " experience we've had.??”
“This was our first experience using Rover and I was really nervous. Rachelle did a great job at answering all my questions and quelling my nerves. She took excellent care of my fur babies, and communicated well. If we’re ever back in the Cincinnati area, I would definitely use her as a boarder for my dogs again.”
“**Review for Jamie:** Jamie was fantastic! She watched our dog Sarge for a full week and did an amazing job. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which made us feel completely comfortable and at ease while we were away. Sarge clearly had a great time too. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“Michael did a great job with all three of our high energy dogs. This is the first we’ve used this app, and the first time Michael has watched our dogs and we are impressed with the experience. Dipper, Hank & Zelda were treated like family. Updates were provided regularly. Thank you Michael!”
“This was our second time working with Amy and she was great! She was very accommodating on drop off time to make sure it fit all of our schedules. She sent photos and gave us updates throughout the trip as well :) Will book again!”
“Cori was very communicative and sent daily updates on our two dogs. She was incredibly patient and understanding of their adjustment period at her home. I highly recommend her!”
“Matthew and Jill were AMAZING with our big guy, Gunner! They were welcoming to us during Gunner's drop off, and asked all the questions to make sure his stay was great and comfortable. They sent us daily updates, pictures included. For someone who stresses leaving their fur babies behind when traveling, I felt completely at ease with having Gunner in the hands of Mathew and Jill. Highly recommend, and will be contacting again in future travels.”
“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 amazing as usual! Zelda always loves getting to visit her favorite sitters. They love on her like she’s their own and take the best care of her while we’re away.”
About: We’ve had animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a farm in southern KY I am used to caring for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, birds, miniature pigs, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, etc! Our animals have always been apart of our family and go where we go! Our animals are allowed on the furniture, sleep in our bed, and love to visit our parents house! I am a stay at home mom so adding a pet into our daily routine is actually pretty easy! We’re used to care for our own dog! We just have them join whatever we’re doing which makes it easier. I have two Littles who love to play outside and take them walks so I usually just have our pups tag along! Our pups routine is usually out to pee in the morning, a walk after her breakfast, lots of outdoor play or sunbathe time while me and my two kiddos play our back, another walk once the kids take their naps, more play time with the kids, another walk after dinner, then a pee break before we get into bed for the night! I’m home all day as a stay at home mom and my husband is fully remote so our pup is used to having somewhere there for whatever she needs or when we do go out and about if we’re able to we take her! Our dog frequents our parents house for even more cuddles and play! Animals are always part of the family on our end.
“Madison took great care of my girl! She sent me daily updates and photos and responded promptly whenever I reached out. She treated her as if she were her own and I would definitely trust her to watch my baby again!”
“Karen was amazing with my high energy fur baby! She provided updates throughout the week and genuinely loved my dog. She reinforced her training, not allowing her to go wild.I’d definitely book with Karen again… I have a Weimaraner and not just anyone can manage a Weim! Karen is top notch..”
