Personalized care for your dog or cat - Kenton
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Kenton
“Matthew and Jill took great care of my girls! I have two large german shepherds. It can be difficult to find sitters who enjoy having big dogs around. My dogs got along great with the owner's dog and had plenty of space in their basement to run around, and the backyard was a big plus. 100% recommend booking with Matthew and Jill!”
“Alfie is a happy boy after staying with Rachel. We appreciate all of her communication, even when our pup is doing embarrassing things. We love seeing him hog their bed, going swimming, and playing fetch with all the pictures Rachel provides us. We can tell he is well tuckered out, once we’re all back together as a family. Thank you Rachel for caring for animals the way you do.”
“Tammi was wonderful. First time my dog had been anywhere but home overnight. She sent updates and pictures to help ease my mind while I was away. Highly recommend her and will be using her services again in the near future.”
“Dianna is very accomodating. She always sends pics and videos. Her price for boarding is really reasonable. My Cookie Dough loves her time with Dianna and her family. ❤️”
“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!”
“They made me feel comfortable leaving my puppy with them. They sent pictures everyday and they had other dogs for my puppy to socialize with and a big back yard. Thank you William and Haley for taking care of Rocky!”
“Ms. Amy was very welcoming! She has a huge space for the doggos to play after being in their designated kennel. Although I was skeptical about the kennel placement for my puppers (because my dog hadn’t been in a kennel for about a year), she brought ease when she sent lots of pictures of my Mocha’s outings! Amy provided lots of information in regards to arrival to her place, accommodated as I needed and also provided information regarding the cleanliness of the kennels. My Mocha had a great time with Ms Amy and the pack!”
“This is my dog Sam’s second time stayed with Abbie. Sam enjoyed his vocation staying with Abbie. He had so much fun over the long weekend. Thank you, Abbie! We would definitely come back! :-)”
“Hailey took care of our pups while we attended our conference. She rescued us last minute when another sitter cancelled and was graciously flexible with our schedule. Thanks Hailey!”
“Emily was wonderful! She made me feel so comfortable and kept me updated through the stay. I had a great experience with her and would absolutely recommend her and her family!”
“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!”
“Angel was very sweet with our dogs. She was prompt with responses and she sent a lot of pictures and updates of our dogs while we were gone which helped our kiddos cope with them being gone. Our dogs haven’t moved since they’ve been home so I know they had a good time.”
“Patricia was absolutely AWESOME! She was very flexible when my schedule changed. She sent regular updates and my little fur baby was happy and healthy when I picked her up. I highly recommend and will definitely call on Patricia again in the future.”
“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!!”
“Alycia was great! Our dog Murphy enjoyed his stay and we got great communication the entire time. Will definitely be booking again next time we need to leave town!”
“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.”
“Jenny was awesome! We are so happy she was able to help us out last minute. Piper absolutely loved the long walks and great care Jenny provided. We received updates and pictures throughout her stay. We highly recommend!! Thank you Jenny!”
“Amanda and Mike were wonderful with Luna! She was very well cared for, and they kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Their backyard is spacious and perfect for dogs to run and play. It’s clear they have plenty of experience with dogs and know how to help them feel comfortable and adjust to a new environment. Luna came home happy and relaxed. We would definitely trust Amanda and Mike with her again and highly recommend them to other pet owners.”

“Abigail did a great job with drop-in visits for my cats while I was away on vacation. She communicated well and I felt comfortable with her taking care of my cats. I recommend Abigail if you are looking for a pet sitter.”
“Shelby was an excellent sitter and was able to provide photos of our cat Patsy that showed her exited for her visit. She took care of our cat while we were gone and couldn't be more thankful!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been caring for cats since I was three years old, when I got my first cat, Fluffy. I currently share my home with five rescued cats, including two with special needs—one with FIV and another with neurological challenges—which has given me extensive hands-on experience with medical care, behavior monitoring, and daily medications. I also care for a managed colony of twenty cats on my property that I inherited when I bought my home, so I’m very comfortable with a wide range of feline personalities and needs. I have a particular affinity for senior and special-needs cats, including those with anxiety, and I approach their care with patience, consistency, and respect—on their terms, of course.
“Angela did a fantastic job caring for my two cats, including administering insulin twice daily for my diabetic cat, maintaining dietary restrictions, and keeping her well-regulated! Both of my cats seemed super happy and relaxed with her, which is no small feat for the more sensitive one. I felt super comfortable leaving them with her and wouldn't hesitate to have her watch them 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 been pet sitting since I was 16 years old. I am often asked by coworkers of family to house sit during their vacations. I have pet sat dogs, cats, fish, and even chickens! I am comfortable waking, giving medication, and cuddling (my personal favorite), whatever your pup needs! I have two dogs of my own. One of my dogs is a senior and is high need due to his bone cancer. He requires daily medication and will until we are able to remove the leg. My other pup is a rambunctious lab, who is high drive and needs daily stimulation so he doesn’t anger his older brother. I often take him on walks or use the pond near our home to tire him out! I am used to house sitting in all types of homes. If your pup needs a daily walk I am can do that. If they’re an outside pup we can take a walk or even a hike! I stay at the home and don’t leave often. I ask that a physical copy of directions are left so that I can give the 100% proper care and able to contact through phone as well!
“Kelsey was the absolute sweetest. She came prior to my trip to meet my two cats so she could learn a little about them and my apartment before hand! Kelsey watched them over a holiday weekend where I assumed there would be lots of commotion and fireworks in our area and she was very communicative in reassuring me that the cats were safe. She sent me photos of the cats every night and they looked so so happy! In addition to all of these amazing things, we came home to our apartment fully cleaned even tho we told her no cleaning was necessary. Kelsey really helped to alleviate the anxiety of traveling and leaving your pets at home for me!”
About: I have owned cats my whole life, I love them very much! I have cared for kittens and older cats. I care for your cat as my own! I pay attention to details and I notice things out of the ordinary. I do what it takes to keep your cat safe! I love to play with cats, too.
“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!!!”
“Hailey came to check on our sweet Hunter for 4 days and did a great job! Water bowl was filled, litter was cleaned, and Hunter seemed to be in good spirits! Really enjoyed the photos and videos we received!”
“Ashley was awesome. I would definitely recommend her and book her again! She was super attentive and caring to our dog while we were away. She sent pics and took our dog for a walk everyday. Super kind and responsive. No issues at all. 😊”
About: 7 years of cat care with the basic necessities, play time to enrich their lives, and the ability to give medication and handle medical equipment if needed. Provided IV’s for my own cat through home care during his final year of life.
About: My first pet was my cat, Roxy and she was my first true love. We adopted her when I was in the third grade, and as an only child who had been begging my parents for a pet, Roxy quickly became my BFF. I also learned quickly that we are just humans living in the cat’s world. And it made me love her and cats even more. When it comes to sitting cats, I understand the importance of letting your cat be itself. I take the time to learn your cat’s personality and tailor my approach to your cat. If your cat doesn’t like attention and only needs me to refresh its food bowl, I can do it. If your cat is more like a dog and wants attention and pets, I can do that too. I relish the opportunity to meet with you and your fur baby (or plural!) and come up with a sitting plan that is tailored to your cat and your home while you are away!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Kenton
“Matilda had the most amazing day! We got regular updates and fantastic pictures from Amy. To say we were happy is an understatement. We live in FL and we were just passing through and needed day care while we visited the Ark encounter so unfortunately we won’t be able to use Amy on a regular basis but I sure wish we could. We were beyond satisfied and highly recommend her without hesitation! Matilda went for a pack walk, frolicked in the stream, and played for hours in her huge fenced-in dog play area with tons of fun toys and enrichment activities. We are very thankful! 🐾”
About: Warning ⚠️! Your furry companion will be worn out with fun activities in my large fenced in backyard, with additional happy walks and hikes. When it's time to rest, they will enjoy relaxing in my spacious clean home with plenty of love and care. I am a stay-at-home mom with children who attend summer camps. Drop off can be as early as 7:00 a.m. and for overnight stays 6:00 p.m. Pick up times can be negotiated. Large safe neighborhood, in the heart of Independence. You can trust that I will be with your pet for most of the day and I always let the owners know if I have errands to run or appointments to attend. My children are 7 and 10 years old, they absolutely love animals. They have been educated on the proper way to approach and play with dogs and cats. At no time will the children be left with your pet alone. When my husband is in town, he arrives home around 5:45 every evening and is a big dog lover. He misses having a dog but travels too much for the military.
“Dianna responded very quickly and it was great to have Xena with another Blue Merle Aussie. Cared for her for the day while we went to the Ark Encounter and sent pictures of play time and walking. Would use Dianna again if we li Ed nearby.”
“Hailey was wonderful! We needed a short notice drop off for a few hours while we went to a museum, and she responded quickly, was so sweet with our dog and sent us photos even though it was only a few hours. She is great! Highly recommended!”

“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, We we're very pleased, she was very accommodating to our needs, and our time. As a pet parent you get a feel your pet is at ease with the sitter. Our Buddy went straight inside as we dropped him off, not even a see you later! High recommend 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.
“Susan is the biggest sweetheart ever ! My boyfriend and I had never left our dog to stay at a sitter and it overall gave me alot of anxiety. I found Susan on rover and picked her to watch my baby. When we dropped my pup off Susan was so accommodating, she let my pup meet all of her dogs one by one, she introduced me to everything and showed me and my boyfriend around. She sent me photos every hour it seemed and showed me my girl was so happy, and having alot of fun during her stay!! she sent tons of updates and I knew my girl was in good hands. I will definitely be using Susan as our future Booker for trips! I never want to leave our pup with anyone but I'll definitely trust Susan to watch my babies !”
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.
“We enjoyed meeting Jonathan! We left Scotty with him while we attended a concert. He is quick to respond to texts and we appreciated his flexibility around not knowing exactly when we could get back. We would happily use Jonathan again to care for our dogs!”
“My puppy enjoyed the day playing with Brandon and his friendly pets. Brandon was reliable, responsive, worked well with my puppy’s energy level, and sent me a lot of updates during the day. We will be back.”

I work primarily weekends at the hospital (I am an ICU RN) - I have a lot of flexibility as I’m PRN and make my own schedule I have experience with fences, leashes, pens and tie outs.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets regularly since 2017, but I’ve loved pets for much longer. Once I adopted my first dog Mia, my love for her grew into a love for every dog I lay eyes on, and I quickly became the designated sitter for all my friends’ pets. I’ve done it all from staying at their houses, taking their pets into my house, popping in for walks or play dates, and even taking in lost animals off the street to reunite them with their owners. Anything that gives me a chance to show an animal love and genuine care sets my heart aglow. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet, and that’s why when I pet sit, I treat your pets like my own because I know that’s exactly what I would want for Mia. I know every animal is different and I work with pet owners to set a plan for their pet and I follow it to a tee to keep the pet’s routine as regular as possible while the owner is away. I have extensive experience working with senior pets and pets with health problems (Mia being one herself), and I know first hand how important it is to find someone you trust to leave your pet with, especially if there are health issues, while you are gone. I relish the opportunity to meet you and your fur baby(or plural!) and would love to chat about a sitting care plan with you! More of my story: It all started when we adopted my family’s first fur baby when I was 8. As an only child, I’d begged my parents for a pet for years and they finally gave in when I was in the third grade. We adopted the last kitten left of the litter at the local pound. She was a black kitten that I named Roxy. Roxy and I were inseparable during my childhood, and I can’t imagine what it would have been like growing up without her. In 2017 when I got a place of my own that allowed pets, I adopted my first dog. Found on the streets, malnourished, severely underweight and her hair lost to mites, she had just given birth to a litter. I was volunteering as a dog walker at the local shelter at the time, and when I met her, I knew from that moment that my volunteer gig had turned into something much greater. I adopted her, and 9 years later, Mia and I are one and the same. Pet sitting is my only job so I have extensive availability for you and your pet(s) and can focus solely on your pet’s needs while you are away. I will stay at your home to keep your pet in its trusted environment. We will meet before you leave to go over routines and other details for your home and your pet’s environment.

About: I started babysitting at around 13, from then on through high school and into college, I found a love for caring for both animals and children. As I got older I began routinely house/pet sitting for my aunt who had 4 cats and my grandma who had 3 dogs. Most recently I house sat for a MSgt in Abilene Texas who had 2 cats and 2 dogs for a little over a week. Being recently separated from the Air Force, my schedule is flexible as I am seeking to ease back into work- while also maintaining flexibility, as I intend on being a full time student in the fall. 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.
About: I've taken care of many different kinds of animals for many years. I've gravitated towards animals as long as I can remember, and have always seeked experience wherever I can. I have walked, animal sat, full groomed, bathed, and more! Anything that I haven't done, I'm always willing to learn! I currently go to college and live on campus! During the summer months I am home and have lots of time to work with your pets! My schedule is relatively open through July and fairly flexible come August! Feel free to send me a message for details!! I'm always willing to work with what your dog does best with! I'm able to crate when needed, use a long line, and have many tools and leashes if needed!
About: My name is Emily. I work full time in public service and I am a dog mom to a Golden Doodle named Rudy. I have 4+ years of working in animal care from working in shelters, as a veterinary assistant, and have cared for my neighbor's pets when needed. I am able to administer medications and care for any pets that have special needs due to having experienced working in both small and large animal clinics. I will treat your fur baby like my own! I currently have availability on week days in the evening and weekends all day. In the summer from end of June to mid - July I will have all day availability as well. My dog Rudy is very friendly and can accompany on visits if permitted or requested. I have a park close to my house and can commute to any area for a needed walk.
About: I am new to the area! I have had an extensive foster care history over the past 3 years prior to relocating. I adore all fur babies but have the most experience with elder and special needs pups. I love animals, big and small. I have my own sweetheart pup and live with two cat friends (plus a lizard). I work as a nurse. Medication administration is no problem at all if needed as well. Please help cure my foster withdrawal and let me be there for your furry family members! I currently am taking a break from full time nursing to focus on enjoying life more. With advance notice, I can be available most days/times. Don’t let that discourage same day requests though! I take the time to learn pet needs and enjoy getting to know their personalities. The approach I use for each animal is based on what they respond best to. I encourage families to share likes and dislikes of their animal friends to promote a low stress environment as they get to know me. I can administer medication, take them for car rides or walks if desired. Companionship in any form is something I look forward to providing them!!
About: I've had pet since my earliest memories. On top of caring for pets of my own, including cats, dogs, reptiles, arachnids, and more, I also fostered animals in southern Indiana for 5+ years. Now that I'm in the Cincinnati area I want to find a way to help animals again so I joined Rover! I currently work as a contractor for a delivery company so I choose my own hours, this way I have time to fit in the furry friends. I can come any time, day or night! When caring for pets in someones home I always make sure to have a list of things the pet parents want to make sure is done. I also make sure all cabinets and doors are secure before leaving a room, this way pets can't get into anything they shouldn't. When outside with the pups, I always make sure to keep them on the outside away from the road when walking on sidewalks.
About: I have been dog-sitting for my neighbor’s and family members for about 8 years with various breeds. I have experience in distributing medicine and general hygiene to help ensure your pet stays looking and feeling their best. I am a college student at NKU and also work part time on my college campus. While that sounds like a crazy schedule my absolute joy is being able to watch animals. I will always make time to help anyone out and strive to respond within 1-5 minutes to bookings requests or availability. My favorite job is being able to help others out so it’s one less thing you have to worry about and I get to watch your pet which is the highlight of my day. I have a 7-year-old dog named Bailey and she is a mixed breed. I do general and daily hygiene for my dog, including teeth brushing, bathing, ear cleaning, and cleaning her paws. My dog Bailey also has some anxiety so I am not new to some animals who become shaky or nervous. My dog loves to be outside and in the sun, so I ensure we have some sunbathing time in our day and time to roll around in the grass.
About: I can't remember a time I didn't have a dog! From birth I've always had my dog companons, I currently have 2 dogs of my own.(Deiliah, and scoob) Ive volunteered at several animal shelters delicating alot of my time to the ones who need love, and for the simple fact... How can you be sad surrounded by furry doggos...that's right you can't! I take my dog on daily walks, bathe her, love her, and play with all her favorite toys!

“Hailey was prompt in responding and answered all my questions, putting me at ease that my dog would be cared for. She provided updates and photos during care. Thank you!”
“Melissa clearly LOVES dogs. Gracie loved her immediately and was happy to go in the car with her to the park for a walk. Gracie didn't last the entire hour and Melissa didn't pressure Gracie to walk farther than she wanted to. She read Gracie's body language and responded appropriately.”

“Matthew and Jill took great care of my girls! I have two large german shepherds. It can be difficult to find sitters who enjoy having big dogs around. My dogs got along great with the owner's dog and had plenty of space in their basement to run around, and the backyard was a big plus. 100% recommend booking with Matthew and Jill!”
“Alfie is a happy boy after staying with Rachel. We appreciate all of her communication, even when our pup is doing embarrassing things. We love seeing him hog their bed, going swimming, and playing fetch with all the pictures Rachel provides us. We can tell he is well tuckered out, once we’re all back together as a family. Thank you Rachel for caring for animals the way you do.”
“Tammi was wonderful. First time my dog had been anywhere but home overnight. She sent updates and pictures to help ease my mind while I was away. Highly recommend her and will be using her services again in the near future.”
“Dianna is very accomodating. She always sends pics and videos. Her price for boarding is really reasonable. My Cookie Dough loves her time with Dianna and her family. ❤️”
“Ms. Amy was very welcoming! She has a huge space for the doggos to play after being in their designated kennel. Although I was skeptical about the kennel placement for my puppers (because my dog hadn’t been in a kennel for about a year), she brought ease when she sent lots of pictures of my Mocha’s outings! Amy provided lots of information in regards to arrival to her place, accommodated as I needed and also provided information regarding the cleanliness of the kennels. My Mocha had a great time with Ms Amy and the pack!”
“This is my dog Sam’s second time stayed with Abbie. Sam enjoyed his vocation staying with Abbie. He had so much fun over the long weekend. Thank you, Abbie! We would definitely come back! :-)”
“Hailey took care of our pups while we attended our conference. She rescued us last minute when another sitter cancelled and was graciously flexible with our schedule. Thanks Hailey!”
“Emily was wonderful! She made me feel so comfortable and kept me updated through the stay. I had a great experience with her and would absolutely recommend her and her family!”
“Patricia was absolutely AWESOME! She was very flexible when my schedule changed. She sent regular updates and my little fur baby was happy and healthy when I picked her up. I highly recommend and will definitely call on Patricia again in the future.”
“Alycia was great! Our dog Murphy enjoyed his stay and we got great communication the entire time. Will definitely be booking again next time we need to leave town!”
“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 and Mike were wonderful with Luna! She was very well cared for, and they kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Their backyard is spacious and perfect for dogs to run and play. It’s clear they have plenty of experience with dogs and know how to help them feel comfortable and adjust to a new environment. Luna came home happy and relaxed. We would definitely trust Amanda and Mike with her again and highly recommend them to other pet owners.”
“Def recommend Tasha and Joseph to watch your fur baby. My little guy came back happy and exhausted from playing. He actually stared out the window as Joseph drove away. He’s never done that with any dog sitter. So it felt good knowing Milo was in good hands.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Fantastic boarding experience! My dog has separation anxiety and loved it there. He had a ton of fun playing with the other dogs and running around the backyard.”
“Tricia is so great and amazing. My dog, yuzu loves it when she is with Tricia. I love how Tricia sends daily updates with photo. She truly is the best. I recommended her to all of my friends”
“Our little guy seemed happy at Stephanie's house! The family was very nice, and their house is tucked in a cul-de-sac away from busy roads. We got updates and/or pictures most days, and Stephanie was always timely in her responses to any messages I sent her. We plan to use her again!”
