“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!”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! She was so kind upon meeting and you can tell she truly cares about the dogs she is taking care of. We got lots of updates throughout the few days she watched our puppy. Rachel is by far one of the best Rover's we have used since moving to the area a few months ago!!”
“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!”
“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. ❤️”
“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!”
“Hailey was extremely friendly and trustworthy. She kept our 3 fur babies and they were well cared for. I'd recommend her to anyone in need of a safe space for your animals to stay while you're away. Thank you again 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!”
“This is the 3rd time Deanna and her husband Gerald have watched our dog while we went out of town. As always, they took great care of Savannah and were very accommodating with her special needs due to a leg injury. It is obvious that they love dogs. We can't recommend them enough!”
“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! :-)”

“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!”
“Patricia is lovely. She made Littel Gril forget who I was. She was treated like the princess she think's she is. Pat sent me daily updates with photos. Little Girl had a great time in the back yard and on walks. When I came to pick her up, she looked at me and I wasn't sure she wanted to go home. Definitely recommend Patricia and I will be using her again to care for our little Doggie Girl whenever we travel and cannot take her with us.”
“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.”
“We are repeat clients because there is no one else that our pup loves more than Grandma Jane and Grandpa Scott’s house! Jane shares updates regularly and keeps our active pup busy and happy.”
“Marina and Michael took excellent care of our furry baby while we went on a trip and left her for the first time ever. She sent lots of updates with pics and made it so much easier being without our girl for a week, knowing she was in good hands :-)”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”

“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.”
“Ginger went above and beyond! I just wanted someone to feed Harvey and give him his insulin but she actually cared and played with him! Made me feel better about being gone. Also the Rover Cards I got were some of the cutest pics of him ever!”
“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!”
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!
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I have been a pet owner all my life and always have had a passion for animals growing up. I have been professionally pet sitting for many years now. I have 2 rescue dogs named Gemma and Ollie who I absolutely adore. I enjoy what I do and would be happy to watch your fur babies! I do accounting during the day but work from home so I have plenty of time to care and play with your pups! I have flexible drop off and pick up times too because of working remotely. 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 was great with our kitties! We went away for four days and wanted someone to stay at the house with them because we have a couple of cats with anxiety. When we got back they were super happy and I could tell they were well taken care of. She kept us informed and also took care of our gecko and fish. I definitely would recommend Lauren and would book her again!”
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.

“Leeann was amazing with a last minute booking and being so flexible on drop off and pick up times. Thank you for finding a calm room for her to stay where she was comfortable too!”
About: I 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.
“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! 🐾”
“Ruth and her husband took excellent care of Murphy (my dog) they made their home, his home, and their fenced in back yard was wonderful for potty breaks! Thank you both so very much! You helped both Murphy and I feel right at home and so comfortable! We both enjoyed our vacation time!!! It was a real pleasure meeting you both!”
“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.”

I am a lifelong dog-lover and a dedicated advocate of humane training & treatment of animals. I am Pet First Aid Certified and dedicated to prioritizing pet safety & comfort in order for them and their parents (you!) to be stress-free. ❤️🐾🌎 I can’t wait to meet-and-greet with you & your fur baby! 🫶🐾 I am a full-time dedicated professional pet care provider for families local to the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area.

In your home, I will meticulously adhere to every standard you request and proactively communicate with you regarding in-home checklists as needed.

“This will be the third week in a row that my Roxxie will be attending doggy day care with her two new dog friends in Nancy’s home. It’s so amazing that I can go to work and not have to worry at all if my dogs being well cared for. Nancy is the best!”
“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.”
“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!”
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.
“Ryan was wonderful with my two dachshunds. Boarded them during the day while we had workers installing new carpet. Sent pics and videos so I had no worries. They came home tired and happy. Would hire Ryan again.”
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.

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!!

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.
“Cathy is a wonderful dogwalker! She was conscientious and caring regarding my older dog's needs. She communicates well and provided photos daily. Cathy made me feel at ease in trusting her with my dog and in my home.”
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: 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.
“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: After a break from pet sitting, I have decided to start taking bookings again for walking/drop-in visits. I am also open to overnight stays at your home depending on circumstances. 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: I've cared and pet sit for family for years, I would watch over my Nana's ten pets for weeks at a time multiple times a year. I always look forward to when I get to sit and care for families pets and spend time with them one on one. I love the calm moments where they sleep next to you and the energy of running around in the backyard for hours and taking walks. I work a full time job in the evening, but I have two pets I care for at home before and after work. I would love to be able to help others know their animals are safe and taken care of while they're at work or out of town, especially if they're gone late at night when their pets need them most. I always make sure to approach an animal and not force myself on them until they feel comfortable around a new person. I make sure when taking them on a walk to always have them on a leash just in case and be cautious around other animals because you can't ever be too sure of other people's pets around your own. I would always check with the owner but I would love to bring approved treats for the animals as a fun surprise and maybe a new toy if it was okayed by the owner.
“Tiffany was FANTASTIC again!!!!!!!! Brooklyn is a very anxious pup with anyone but her family but thankfully we found Tiffany who is great with her. She will be missed by our family for sure. And a special shout out to her son who also took some special time with Brooklyn. I was at peace of mind the entire time I was away. Thank you!!!”

“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!”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! She was so kind upon meeting and you can tell she truly cares about the dogs she is taking care of. We got lots of updates throughout the few days she watched our puppy. Rachel is by far one of the best Rover's we have used since moving to the area a few months ago!!”
“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. ❤️”
“Hailey was extremely friendly and trustworthy. She kept our 3 fur babies and they were well cared for. I'd recommend her to anyone in need of a safe space for your animals to stay while you're away. Thank you again 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!”
“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! :-)”
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.
“Patricia is lovely. She made Littel Gril forget who I was. She was treated like the princess she think's she is. Pat sent me daily updates with photos. Little Girl had a great time in the back yard and on walks. When I came to pick her up, she looked at me and I wasn't sure she wanted to go home. Definitely recommend Patricia and I will be using her again to care for our little Doggie Girl whenever we travel and cannot take her with us.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
