“Dana and Jason were great! I appreciate the photos and communication. My pups seem very happy! I think they miss them now that they are home. First time using rover and I will definitely be booking with Dana and Jason again! Thank you!”
“William & Haley were amazing! They took great care of Auri and sent great updates and pictures. Auri loved her time exploring the fenced-in back yard. Thank you!”
“Hailey is an excellent representation of Rover. She was there when I needed her on short notice, and I think my dog (Rogue) had a blast! Very easy to communicate with too. I’ll use her again for my next Rover need!”
“Abbie is the absolute best! If I even say her name my dog jumps up and starts whining, wanting to go to her house. She is super flexible and readily available when I need her. There are plenty of kids and dogs to keep your dog entertained. They’ll sleep good when they get home!”
“Tammy was our first-time sitter with Rover, and we couldn’t have asked for a better one. Leaving our girls for the first time was nerve-wracking, but Tammy made the entire experience stress-free. She was incredibly kind, patient, and clearly loves dogs. She sent us daily photos and updates, giving us peace of mind that our girls were in good hands. When we got home, they were happy and relaxed, and we couldn’t thank Tammy enough for giving us peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend Tammy!”
“Leeann has cared for our girl, Cami, on two occasions, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! She provides excellent care, keeping us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos, which gives us such peace of mind while we’re away. Her communication is outstanding—always clear, timely, and professional. What truly sets Leeann apart is her dedication. When a snowstorm disrupted our travel plans, she didn’t hesitate to extend Cami’s stay for two extra days, ensuring she was safe and well cared for. That level of flexibility and kindness means the world to us. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely loves what she does, we wholeheartedly recommend Leeann. Your fur baby will be in the best hands!”
“Ángel was great! She was very responsive and attentive since our first interaction. She sent us pictures of our Jack and let us know he was doing well while we were away. He is happy and well and we could have not asked for more. We will for sure book her for future sitting needs!”
“Percy was well cared for and greatly enjoyed his stay with Deana and her husband! We are so glad we found them. They went above and beyond to care for my dog and make him happy.”
About: Growing up, I was always the go-to dog sitter for family and friends. From playful puppies to senior pups, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities in my home and theirs. I learned early on how to give each dog the individual attention they need—whether it’s long walks, playtime in the yard, feeding schedules, or just cozy couch cuddles. Those experiences taught me how important it is to create a safe, loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and happy while their families are away. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and would be thrilled to bring that same care and reliability to your furry family members. I have taken care of dogs with medical needs(diabetes) and other condition and know hiw to care for them. I work from home Monday- Friday so I have plenty of time to let them out and take care of them. I don’t go out too much on the weekends and if I do I’m usually at the golf course and then back home. My house is very pet friendly. My yard is completely fenced in. I do not mind that they go on the couch. I will love your pets as you love them.
“Our dog, Buddy, stayed with Jenny for 9 nights and was very well taken care of. He got regular walks and belly rubs. Jenny also kept us updated daily with pictures and details about their day. We could tell Buddy was happy when we picked him up. He was very calm and relaxed. We were extremely happy with her care and will definitely reach out to her again for care.”
“Karen is extremely friendly and provided a safe environment with lots of attention to our senior Italian greyhound Sophie. She sent us updates and really made the whole experience reassuring. Would definitely recommend her as a doggie caregiver. Cannot thank her enough.”
“Amanda and Mike were super welcoming and we felt very comfortable leaving Dolly with them for the weekend! They have two labs of their own which made me confident they knew how to handle our high energy girl. They sent lots of pictures and Dolly seemed to have a great time!”
“Fantastic, trustworthy pet sitter. I was nervous to leave my fur baby and Jane did a wonderful job making me feel comfortable and keeping me updated while I was away.”
“Rebecca was wonderful with Fiona! She kept us updated with photos and messages, took great care of her, and made sure she was comfortable and happy. We really appreciated her kindness and attention to detail. We would definitely recommend her and book with her 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!”

“This is the second time we've had Kasey watch our two cats. She takes excellent care of them, follows all instructions, gives them lots of attention and sends lots of pictures! Thank you!!”
“OK where to start...Tara did a quick meet and greet before the weekend. We have never left our furr-babies with people we didn't know, but right away I felt like she already knew us. She came recommended to us at a last minute. What a wonderful choice! She was punctual stay the whole time slot, took pics. I could tell be the pics my furr-babies were in good hands. Highly recommend her to take care of your furr-babies while away. Thanks so much...definitely on the top of our list.”
“Grace did a wonderful job! She was patient with my crank old boy. She came and took wonderful care of cosmo even when he wasnt the friendliest with her the firsr couple days. She remained calm and continued working with him until he fully warmed up to her. Grace continued to give me updates on how he was doing everyday and even noticed when he was acting a little different due to him having a mild reaction/ itching a lot due to treats that were provided and went out of her way to get new ones for him. I could not have asked for a better sitter to pop in on my boy.”
“Two of my cats have special care needs that make them more complicated than the typical cat, and everything went smoothly! Really appreciated the updates too. Thank you for taking care of my cats!”
“Mattie sent lots of pictures and very thorough updates. I always feel bad leaving my kitten but I felt better knowing Mattie was checking in on her. Thanks Mattie!”

I have a fenced yard with 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. We also have a camera to keep an eye on your pups if we step out for a bit.
“Lauren did a wonderful job taking care of our three cats while we were out of town. She was communicative/responsive and also took care of mail and plant watering to boot. The house was in great shape when we returned home, and our kitties were clearly in good hands during our absence. I can’t recommend Lauren more highly and will definitely work with her again!!”
“Blake did a great job checking on our cats while we were away! He was even able to help with the inhaler for our cat with asthma and feed our bearded dragon. Would definitely recommend Blake!”
“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!!!”
“We and our pets absolutely love Allison and her family. She has been amazing to work with. Our pets are happy and well taken care of and our dog Goose will want return visits.”
“Tiffany was excellent. She showed up when she said she would, followed instructions to a T and was so very kind. My girl was not stressed out when I returned home as she has been in the past with other sitters.”
“Mariah took exceptional care of our two cats while we were away. She was originally scheduled to take special care for Sancho, but when Rio unexpectedly needed medication and extra attention as well, she was incredibly flexible and happily adapted to his new care routine. Both cats received their medications exactly as instructed, including insulin injections and oral medications. Mariah was very attentive, careful, and compassionate throughout every visit. We especially appreciated the detailed visit summaries and photos she sent each day. She kept us informed and reassured that our boys were doing well. Knowing our cats were in such capable and caring hands gave us true peace of mind during our trip. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Mariah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Jennifer was great with our cats while we were on vacation. Good communication. Sent pictures everyday so we could see our cats happy and safe Will definitely book with her again”

“Angel is wonderful! We've been having a hard time giving our dog the attention and structure he needs during the day since we had our baby, so being able to place him with Angel a few days a week has been a lifesaver! She is very kind, and accommodating to our dogs specific quirks. Thanks Angel!”
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.
“Thank you so much Meghan for taking our little 4 legged ones at such short notice. Megan was awesome, warm and friendly. I recommend her to anyone who would be needing the care that she provides.”
About: Hi! I’m someone who genuinely loves animals and treats every pet like family. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, so I focus on making both pets and owners feel safe, relaxed, and cared for from day one. I have experience caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs — including administering medications, working with reactive dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I understand that every pet is unique, and I’m patient, attentive, and committed to creating a calm, positive environment where they feel secure and comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime, or simply wants extra affection and attention, I tailor my care to fit their individual routine and personality. I’m confident reading body language and helping nervous or high-energy pets feel safe and understood. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I also make it a priority to keep routines consistent to help reduce stress and make the experience as comfortable as possible for your pet. My goal is simple: to give your pet a loving, stress-free experience while giving you total peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! I currently stay at home so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, loving care for your pets. I’m available for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop-in visits throughout the week and weekends. Your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked — I make it a priority to give each animal personalized attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m also happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medication routines, and special care instructions to help your pet feel comfortable and at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel secure and loved while you’re away. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor play. I treat every pet like family and always follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding routines, exercise needs, medications, and preferred sleeping arrangements.
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.
“Jax had a great day with Amy and fur buddies. The fenced-in area is very large with lush green grass. Jax also enjoyed the pool. Amy is a delight and has a great love for her pets and those she cares for. I thoroughly enjoyed the pictures and knew Jax was in good hands. If ever back in this area Amy would be my choice for doggie daycare!😍”

About: We only take dogs up to 30lbs due to my daughter being afraid of most bigger dogs despite us having one of our own. We will give consideration to dogs over that weight if we feel it’s a good fit. We have recently begun boarding in our home again and have adopted a new goldendoodle Lincoln on 3/22/24. He will be about 60lbs once full grown He’s sweet and full of energy and loves to play with all dogs. I have had my own dogs for about 11 years and have also taken care of friends pets although usually in their own homes.

About: I’ve spent the past few years caring for dogs and cats, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and basic grooming. I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and I take pride in being reliable and kind with every animal I look after. Working from home with a 23-month-old means I already have a rhythm centered on care, attention, and being present. Pet care fits smoothly into this lifestyle — from morning walks (a great start to the day for both pets and toddlers!) to scheduled feeding times and regular play breaks. My flexible schedule lets me respond to pets' needs throughout the day, whether it's a cuddle, a potty break, or a bit of extra attention. With my child learning to be gentle and kind around animals, it's a home environment that’s calm, loving, and perfect for pets. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a fenced balcony where your pet can safely relax and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. Our complex also features a secure, fenced-in pet park that’s perfect for playtime and running off energy, plus plenty of open space for regular walks and exploring.
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.
About: Danielle and I have had dogs our whole lives and absolutely love caring for them. We both grew up with dogs, so we’re very comfortable with their needs and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Danielle works a hybrid schedule, while I’m fully remote, so I’m home every day. We’re happy to work with your dog’s usual routine and schedule. We enjoy taking dogs on long walks in the morning and late afternoon, along with plenty of playtime throughout the day. We have a spacious 3-bedroom, first-floor apartment with plenty of room for a dog to feel comfortable. We also have a 1½-year-old son who loves animals, so your dog would be joining a loving family environment. We’re happy to accommodate dogs who need a little extra space or quiet time around our son. We usually walk around our neighborhood, but we also have a dog park in our apartment complex for extra exercise, socialization and play! Since I work from home, I’m with the dogs all day. Occasionally I go skateboarding in the afternoon for a couple hours, which is the longest the dogs would ever be home alone. We take Ori out twice a day and feed him in the morning and evening. Our home couldn’t be safer. Of course the door is always locked and we keep Ori on a leash the entire time that he’s outside. We make sure to keep any food or other things he shouldn’t get into off the floor and out of reach.

If secured prior to July 1, I intend on curating my schedule to long term clients. I have an open schedule for now- but again fully intend on tending to future clients needs. I treat every pet as my own. that means with respect, patience, guidance as needed, and above all else - love and protection. I will tend to everyday tasks of living with the best quality of life in mind for each fur baby in my care.

I have always had a soft spot for animals. They bring me such happiness and I honestly feel like we are not deserving of the love that they give! I have great anxiety when I have to Board or find care for my own pets, and I strive to bring comfort and compassionate care to others who may feel the same way! I work from home which allows me to constantly be present for the needs of my own animals and the needs of pups that are visiting my home. I have a large fenced in yard in a safe community. Visiting pups will be treated like family and will be loved on and treated like one of our own.
About: Hi, I’m a dedicated pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for a full house—two dogs, five indoor cats, 18 outdoor cats, and two guinea pigs! I truly understand the love, patience, and attention pets need, because I live it every day. Whether you’ve got a playful pup, a picky kitty, or a small critter needing gentle care, I’ll treat your pet like one of my own—with reliability, kindness, and plenty of cuddles! As a part time employee, it allows plenty of time to care for your pets needs and wants. I only work about 5 hour shifts so I have plenty of time around that to be available. I am a happy and energized person and I can get along with all types of animals, young or old, calm or hyper. And I am a very patient person, acquiring that skill as I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and a whole barnyard of animals my whole life.
“Tiffany is AMAZING!!!!!!!! My dog is very anxious so naturally I was very worried about leaving her. From the first time Tiffany came over to walk Brooklyn she was so sweet & caring for her & it really put my mind at ease. She took her time with Brooklyn & made her feel comfortable with her. When we had to adjust our plans, it was very easy to do & she was extremely accommodating. I will definitely be rebooking in the future when I need to go away without my pup.”

“Hailey is an excellent representation of Rover. She was there when I needed her on short notice, and I think my dog (Rogue) had a blast! Very easy to communicate with too. I’ll use her again for my next Rover need!”
“Abbie is the absolute best! If I even say her name my dog jumps up and starts whining, wanting to go to her house. She is super flexible and readily available when I need her. There are plenty of kids and dogs to keep your dog entertained. They’ll sleep good when they get home!”
“Tammy was our first-time sitter with Rover, and we couldn’t have asked for a better one. Leaving our girls for the first time was nerve-wracking, but Tammy made the entire experience stress-free. She was incredibly kind, patient, and clearly loves dogs. She sent us daily photos and updates, giving us peace of mind that our girls were in good hands. When we got home, they were happy and relaxed, and we couldn’t thank Tammy enough for giving us peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend Tammy!”
About: Growing up, I was always the go-to dog sitter for family and friends. From playful puppies to senior pups, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities in my home and theirs. I learned early on how to give each dog the individual attention they need—whether it’s long walks, playtime in the yard, feeding schedules, or just cozy couch cuddles. Those experiences taught me how important it is to create a safe, loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and happy while their families are away. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and would be thrilled to bring that same care and reliability to your furry family members. I have taken care of dogs with medical needs(diabetes) and other condition and know hiw to care for them. I work from home Monday- Friday so I have plenty of time to let them out and take care of them. I don’t go out too much on the weekends and if I do I’m usually at the golf course and then back home. My house is very pet friendly. My yard is completely fenced in. I do not mind that they go on the couch. I will love your pets as you love them.
“Amanda and Mike were super welcoming and we felt very comfortable leaving Dolly with them for the weekend! They have two labs of their own which made me confident they knew how to handle our high energy girl. They sent lots of pictures and Dolly seemed to have a great time!”
“Rebecca was wonderful with Fiona! She kept us updated with photos and messages, took great care of her, and made sure she was comfortable and happy. We really appreciated her kindness and attention to detail. We would definitely recommend her and book with her 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!”
“Danielle and her family couldn’t have been better to our Golden Retriever, Bowie, during his stay! They were beyond accommodating and sooo generous with their snuggles and love! Communication was amazing, and they were so kind. What more could you ask for when dropping your loved pet child off with someone (who initially is a stranger)? We will 10000% book with them again :) No question that your loved one will be in great hands!”
“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!😊🦋”
“Scout and Fergus were treated to a stay with Lindsay and family during our visit to Cincinnati. We were so very pleased with the treatment and care given our dogs. We will not only use Lindsey again, but consider more visits to the area having confidence that our pets have made new friends. I’ll never forget Lindsay’s 4 year old waving and shouting “I love you” to the dogs as we drove away. Big smiles. Thanks guys. They love you too sweetie.”
“Kelti was awesome with my pup. I could tell she had a great time with their dogs and they even took her with them to a dog friendly brewery! The photo updates were perfect!”
“Hayley was fantastic! Setting up a meet and greet was incredibly easy, and she was so accommodating and friendly right off the bat. She has a very calm, friendly, and grounding presence that our dog took to immediately. Everything went perfectly while we were away, and she was excellent at communicating, sending photos, and she followed all of our routines perfectly. It gave us so much peace of mind to know our Stanley was in such good hands. We would definitely book with Hayley again without hesitation!”
About: I’ve always grown up with pets around, specifically dogs. Through my lifetime I’ve taken care of dogs with separation anxiety, older dogs, and very active dogs too. I believe that every dog has a special personality and they all deserve personalized care. So I will take in special care request that you know of, and also observe the dog so I care and play with it in the best way! I’m excited to work with you and your furry friends :) I have a pretty open schedule and availability! I can board on a Saturday night to Sunday morning, but I’m not available Sunday nights to Monday morning! I have a dog park in my apartment and share a dog with my sister so your furry friend will have some company. I also have some complement toys, treats, and a spare cage if needed!
“John was attentive and responsive when I had a last-minute sitting request due a flight change! He took great care of our shy cat, encouraging her to get out of her carrier and sending us multiple photos. He was considerate about other pets in his home and made sure to check in on our cat often. I highly recommend working with him!”
