“Tasha and Joseph are amazing dog sitters and I could not recommend them higher. They watch my dog Tesla while I was away on a trip I was unavoidable. They were so accommodating and were even willing to give him his medicine in our absence. They sent us pictures every day and it was clear that he was thoroughly played with. I cannot say enough good things.”
“I would definitely board with Katie again. Our dog Trina jumped out of the car on her own (a first for her) when we got there after the meet and greet. She seemed like she had a very good time staying with Katie and other pooches when we picked her up.”
“This was the first time leaving my dog with someone who wasn't family while I was out of town. I found Rover while searching for dog boarding places around Cincinnati and decided to give it a try. I am so impressed with the service itself, and even more so with Christy. She and her dog were friendly and welcoming when we arrived for our meet and greet, and I immediately felt great about leaving my dog in her care. She sent me pictures of my dog almost every day that I was gone. My dog came home happy and exhausted! I would absolutely use Christy again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Rebecca took great care of Dexter and sent frequent pictures. Overall great experience and our family was pleased knowing our pup was in a great household. Would definitely recommend and rebook in the future. Thanks Rebecca!”
“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.”
“Jenny and her family and dog were wonderful hosts for our dog Gretel. Gretel got walks and affection and seemed very comfortable there. A very responsible and caring host. We will be happy to have Gretel stay with them again.”
“Taylor was wonderful! Our dog was happy and very well cared for! We enjoyed the updates and photos Taylor shared throughout our girl’s stay. Highly recommend!”
“Mike and Annie took great care of my baby. It was her first stay and I was naturally a bit nervous. They were amazing and sent me pictures along the way. They even cooked her chicken when she wouldn't eat. Thank you so much for taking such good care of her.🩷”
“Elisheba and her family took Ember in and were very kind. Thank you for the hospitality and the great care at a last minute notice. Ember loved the yard and enjoyed having extra people to play with her, it takes a village!”
“Amanda was really great! Very communicative with daily updates, pictures and stories about how Minnie was doing each day. Minnie was in a safe and fun environment where she could hang with other dogs and sun in the yard. Would highly recommend and would definitely work with Amanda again.”
“Jaci was absolutely wonderful with Zeke! He was so comfortable staying with her that he almost didn’t want to leave. I would definitely recommend and rebook with Jaci!”
“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.”
“John took great care of our dog, and was excellent to work with. Prompt communication, and he was very accommodating and supportive with an injury our dog has. Highly recommend.”
“Wonderful family! Ben, Kelle, and their kids were just amazing and welcomed Bella into their family while we were traveling. Thank you so much for taking such good care of her.”
“Annie took amazing care of my pup! She gave me updates every day with pictures and made sure Riley was happy and comfortable. I would absolutely book Annie again to watch Riley!”
“Boba seemed to have a lot of fun! I appreciate the updates and for spending time with my pup while I was away. I will definitely be using Natalie in the future again!”
“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.”

“Maureen was awesome, so extremely helpful. We’ve hired her to pet sit prior so going with her again was a no-brianer. She’s great with the cats and they love her! She also was able to water our plants and feed our fish, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while being away for over a week. 10/10 would recommend!! Also has super flexible availability which came together so well even though we scheduled somewhat last minute! Thanks Maureen!”

“Andrea is the BEST!! Literally book her while you still can!!!! It was my first time using Rover for my kitten and I was super anxious about everything but I quickly realized she is in great hands with Andrea! She connected with my kitten and learned what she likes and treated her like her own fur baby! Andrea sent me updates and pictures through out which gave me lots of reassurance. Andrea stayed at my apartment and left it so clean and perfect! Also, Andrea is literally just the sweetest person you will ever meet and you can tell she genuinely cares and wants the best for your pet!!! I cannot say enough great things about her!!”
“Jeff was excellent at taking care of our four cats. Responsive and punctual. He left everything clean and sent us photos daily. He went the extra mile to feed our wild birds. I recommend him for all your pet needs.”

“Anissa did a great job at taking care of my cats. She kept me up to date on my one cat (one who enjoys to hide), and she was very attentive to my other cat that enjoyed being doted on. I would highly recommend her pet sitting services!”
“I had the absolute pleasure of having Mikaela stop by and care for my cats while my husband and I were away, and I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about the experience! She spent quality time with them, made sure their food and water were taken care of, gave them plenty of attention and cuddles, and kept me updated on how they were doing. When we arrived home late that evening, it was obvious how happy, relaxed, and well cared for they had been. Knowing they were in such great hands made all the difference and allowed us to enjoy our trip worry free. I will absolutely be booking with Mikaela again!”
“Callie was so easy to work did an awesome job taking care of my kitty with il was abroad! Callie was friendly and eager to understand how best to keep my cat happy and healthy and seems like a true pet lover. I felt really secure living my little one with her. She even went above and beyond by bringing in an unexpected package that came while I was gone. I would happily rebook!”

She is so thoughtful and sweet with our kitties and knows how to play with them based on their personality types :) So respectful of our home and very knowledgable about the pets!! I have hired her again and absolutely trust her to care for our fur family next time!”

About: I have cared for dogs my whole life. My first job was at a doggie daycare. I can bath, walk, or just snuggle your furbabies. I have a fenced in yard for potty breaks, and play time. I do have crates if needed however doggies are welcome to sleep and play anywhere in my home. I currently work from home. I can take breaks whenever needed. I can adjust my schedule to accommodate your dogs normal routine. Just let me know at booking. I typically get up at 5:30am, I walk or let doggies out back in fenced in yard for a potty break. I mostly work on my laptop in the main living space and get up every few hours to walk or toss the ball in the back yard. My flexibility with work allows me to provide special care if your furbaby needs it. Medicine, more frequent feedings, or potty breaks, exercise.
“Jenny and her family were amazing!! They took care of my dog like he was their own. He had so much fun and didn’t want to leave. Jenny also sent me awesome pictures of all the fun he was having. Thank you so much!”
“First time using Rover, and I was very nervous leaving my puppy alone with a stranger. Abby took great care of Archie and he had a very fun day! Will definitely be asking her to doggy sit again!”
“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!”
“Ember had a great time spending the day with Joe and Laurie going on walks and meeting the neighbor kids! She also loved the deck and big back yard! I felt safe that she was in a nice family neighborhood and they kept her on a 100 ft lead in the backyard while playing and exploring. They gave her the treats that I packed and sent me cute photos of her during the day. Will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Karen is always great with Ivy. Ivy is well taken care of and loves going to daycare there because of Karen's loving nature. I highly recommend her if you're looking for a sitter.”
About: Hi my name is Patrice. I'm a veterinary technician who loves being with animals even outside of my normal work day. If I could I would adopt a million pets but unfortunately that's not an option. I take pride in being able to help care for pets outside of my own. There's nothing more fulfilling than being able to play with fur babies when the owners cannot do so because of work. I am able to provide exercise time, medication administration, ear cleaning, and basic grooming. If you are in need of any of the above services feel free to reach out to me. I would love to get to know you and your fur babies and develop a life long bond. Pet care fits into my daily routine perfectly. I'm always with pets even in my dreams. Rather I am walking pets or meeting up for grooming appointments, I'm always with pets. I get a background of the pets home life and mimic that while they are with me. Routine works best with most pets. When you switch up what they are used to they do not do well.
About: I’m currently studying to be a vet assistant. Since I was a kid I’ve loved animals and have accumulated lots of knowledge over the years. I’ve been trusted to care for many family pets. I’m very calm and patient, and I’m excited to have the opportunity to care for your pets as well! I’m currently working part-time, early mornings. Mid-week, afternoons and weekends are the best times for me to care for and play with your babies! I live in a very quiet home and a very quiet neighborhood. We can sit and relax while I knit or easily walk down to the nearby observatory, park, or town square.
About: I've had at least two dogs my entire life. I've cared for puppies through adult dogs. I have even cared for some with special needs. When your dog stays with me, you also get my whole family to care for them. I'm a stay at home mom and I have plenty of time to care for your baby. I can be with your dog at all times. I have a fenced in yard and three dogs who would love to play and snuggle. I will also walk your dog if you'd like.
“Alexa and her boyfriend were so kinda and very easy to communicate with! Her dogs were so sweet and welcoming to my old man too. My pup had a great time staying at their place and was very comfortable! I got photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind, while I was out! 1000/10 recommend☺️”
“Watson enjoyed his stay with Susie! She was flexible regarding drop off and pick up times. She was communicative. I felt safe leaving Watson with her! Watson seemed very happy when I picked him up! Highly recommend her services.”
“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 my family dog for 6 years, and I also was entrusted with my friends and family's dogs since I was 9. Currently, I am doing volunteer work and shadowing physicians as I am home for the summer from college. I am available majority of the week and weekends. I make sure to let our animals have their separate spaces for when they are in need of a rest. They also have fulltime access to food and water, and I have a fenced in yard with enough room to run around. In a client's home I will make sure your pet has food, water, and a clean place to go to the bathroom. I will ensure they are mentally stimulated with plenty of play time and cuddle time.

I highly recommend Susan if you are looking for a reliable and trustworthy caretaker.”
“Jillian has been walking my quirky and sometimes shy greyhound regularly for a couple months now and she is the absolute best. On time, thorough, understanding, flexible, competent, communicative, knowledgeable. I don’t trust my dog to everyone, but I feel 10000% confident that she’s in good hands with Jillian on their walks!”
“Maureen is incredible!! She went above and beyond taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She was so kind and sent tons of photos and videos as well as gave detailed updates each day! I feel so lucky to have come across Maureen on here- she will be our first choice for any future needs!”
“Wolf was amazing! We booked last minute and had some changes in our itinerary, but was still very according. Romeo was so happy when he got back from his walk with Wolf. Will be booking again! Thank you!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, I am naturally quiet and calm so dogs especially are very comfortable around me. I’ve cared for dogs, cats and horses while their humans were away for 40 plus years and I am reliable and thoughtful with every visit. I’m retired and spend most days gardening with my dogs so I’m very flexible. It’s easy for me to make time to add pet care to my schedule. I care for my clients pets per their direction and request adding in lots of kindness and praise. I arrive on time ready to engage with them.
“Daniel is so great! I’m really impressed with him. He is so knowledgeable with dogs and has been helping me train my puppy during visits. My puppy Benny loves him so much!”
About: Hi! My name is Jenna, and my family and I are here to give your beloved furry friends the care and attention they deserve! With a lifelong passions for animals, I am here to ensure your pet's well-being and hapiness. Since I was a child, I never met an animal I didn't love. From caring for family pets to volunteering at local animal shelters, my love for our four-legged companions has only grown stronger over the years. My journey with animals has taken me through various roles, including working in veterinary offices, animal shelters, and pet shops. These experiences have equipped me with invaluable skills and knowledge in animal care, health, and behavior. I work at home fulltime, so I am available to give your pet plenty of attention. My husband works a hybrid job. We have two school aged children who have grown up with animals and are very knowledgeable about when to give pets their space, and when to engage in play. We have a large home with the ability to give your pet quiet space alone if needed, and plenty of indoor room for play when they want attention. We have a large unfenced backyard. My husband and I both go on morning and evening walks, and have lots of time to give your pet exercise as needed. Currently, I share my home with Subi, a big-hearted cat who has never met a stranger. He brings endless joy to my life with his playful antics and affectionate purrs. He does well with all other pets, but we do have the ability to keep him separated if your pet requires us to do so. I understand that every pet is unique and deserves personalized care. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, grooming, or simply providing companionship while you're away, rest assured that your furry family members are in loving and capable hands. I am committed to providing reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitting services, giving you peace of mind knowing that your pets are safe, happy, and well-cared for in the comfort of their own home. Thank you for entrusting me with the care of your cherished pets. I look forward to building lasting relationships with both you and your furry companions! I currently work from home with a lot of flexibility to spend time taking care of your pets. Let's discuss your scheduling needs- we can work out something that will fit around your schedule. I have a large house with plenty of space for playtime. I also have a large yard (unfenced). We also have a great neighborhood for walks!
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, bearded dragons, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, etc. I look forward to caring for your pet and treating them like my own! I’m working part time at the moment and have flexible hours, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet on a schedule that works for you! I make sure to keep the dog’s schedule as typical as possible and I listen to any instructions that the owner may have for me.

“Megan has taken good care of our older pup who has a lot of quirks and particular needs. She communicates well, shows up promptly, and has patience when walking with our 17 year old girl.”
About: I grew up with five cats and one dog, and have helped pet sit friends’ dogs. I am very comfortable playing, feeding, going on walks, cleaning litter boxes, etc. I now have my own tripod cat as well, so I have also learned a lot about caring for pets with different needs! I will be working part time, and not taking classes this summer semester. So I will have plenty of time to stop by throughout the week. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and stick to their usual routine. I am very careful on checking that doors, gates, and leashes are secure. I follow all instructions closely and keep owners regularly updated!
“Allison has been great! Super friendly and helpful when scheduling, and she has great availability. This is the second time she's taken our Aussie pup on a walk to help get some energy out. Love getting the pictures of her time with him and the note she leaves about their time together. Will definitely keep using Allison”
“Alexandru was phenomenal!! I scheduled him day of and then repeated for a week out. He was able to walk my pup with no issues (he’s a big 80lb dog with some reactivity). Will definitely be back to use him again!!”
“Very accommodating when I needed to cancel day of because one of my dogs started to get sick the night before. Also went above and beyond to come over early before I needed to get to work to show me how a gentle-lead works and see how my dog would react to having it on.”
About: I am a full time pharmacist with a unique overnight schedule. I love all animals so I am looking for some jobs on the side caring for animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, chinchillas and parakeets. I work third shift 7 days on and 7 days off so I have a very flexible schedule to care for your pets. I can make any schedule work. I have a non social bulldog so I am able to care for a cat or dog in your own home and could care for a smaller caged animal in my own.

He was safe and returned home tired from all of his play/running around. I was very grateful for Melissa’s care.”
