I'm currently working full time, so I am available nights and weekends to board your pet. This is to ensure that I can give your pet the attention they deserve! I have a huge fenced in yard and also 5 dogs of my own, so your pet will surely get lots of love and exercise at my home!

I recent had a tough situation with my dog, Dex, coming down with a horrendous allergic reaction just in time for a business trip i had to make. And Karen stepped in, took care of him for the whole week, sent me pictures of him recovering. She was so enthusiastic to take care of him and also administer his medication on my behalf. I could not have left him with anyone else other than Karen, not even my friends, with the confidence that he will be well looked after. When I came back to town, Dex was almost back to his best and was healthy and happy! Karen, you ROCK!”

We couldn’t be happier to find someone to care for our kitten while we’re away, and had so much peace of mind knowing he was in amazing hands!”

Matthew N.

About: What sets me apart is my experience and flexibility. I started pet sitting in college and have always loved caring for animals. Now that I work locally with summer hours ending before 5, I’m able to offer reliable drop-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I treat every pet like my own and understand how important consistency and trust are for pet owners Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I work in Hyde Park, so I’m already in the area during the week. On Wednesdays I’m off at 1, Thursdays at 2, and Fridays I’m off all day, which gives me plenty of flexibility. I care for pets like they’re part of the family. My own dogs are definitely spoiled — we have a 10.5-year-old Lab/Collie mix and recently adopted a 1-year-old Chihuahua mix — so I’m used to caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their pet’s normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and comfort to help them feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away

“Brendan was a wonderful pet sitter for my cat. My cat is skittish but she adores Brendan. Everything I asked for was done accordingly. Will definitely request his service again in the future.”

Hilda d.

“Crystal is terrific! She took great care of my 2 cats during my 10-day vacation and was able to create a routine for them while I was gone. Crystal is reliable, professional and detail-oriented. She has gotten to know my cats and I appreciate that she cares about how they're doing while I'm gone. Thank you, Crystal!”

Marcey G.

“Hayley was super responsive, providing fun updates and pictures of our pet while we were out of town. She also took the time to understand our grumpy cat’s boundaries and worked to meet her at the level where our cat felt most comfortable. We look forward to having her pet sit again in a few weeks!”

Cassandra G.

“It was first time using Rover and as an over protective cat dad I was a tad nervous. However Becca was amazing! I felt like she treated my boys as if they were her own. I will absolutely use Becca again in the future! Thank you Becca !!!!”

Todd E.

Bella G.

“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!”

Alima O.

About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for over 20 years and truly enjoy being around them. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with different personalities — from energetic pups to more anxious or senior pets. I offer walks, drop-in visits, and boarding in my home. I do have a cat, and he is used to being around dogs, but I always prioritize safety and comfort for everyone. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and structure my schedule intentionally, so I’m able to provide consistent walks, feeding times, and attention throughout the day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-ins, and when boarding, pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I value routine and make sure each pet’s normal schedule is maintained to help them feel comfortable and secure. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with my son (7 YO) and our cat, Toto. While our backyard is not fenced, dogs are always leashed for outdoor time and walks. We have great sidewalks and a quiet area that’s ideal for daily exercise. Inside the home, I provide a calm and supervised environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s comfort level and always prioritize safety, clear communication with owners, and following specific care instructions. I’m also happy to schedule meet-and-greets beforehand to ensure everyone feels confident.

“Dottie goes to Emma’s all day, 3 days a week and just loves it! She gets so excited as soon as we pull in the driveway! Emma is responsive, helpful, kind, gentle and great with my little dog!”

Amanda S.

“Paige was absolutely amazing! From the moment we dropped off our pup, we felt confident that she was in great hands. Paige has a wonderful, open space where the dogs can safely run and play, and she kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. It gave us such peace of mind to see how happy and well cared for our dog was. We’re so pleased with the experience that we’ve already booked with her again. We highly recommend Paige to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”

Jake & Samantha M.

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: Early 40’s year old sitter/walker with car. You could say I have 40+ years of experience. My family had a German Shepherd from before I was born and I was very close to her. There has been a stream of pets in my family. Including so so so many cats in NYC. Even going so far as to “rescue” a half feral one. Currently, I share ownership of a dog. As a small business owner of over 10 years, I am able to have a flexible schedule and spend more time hanging out with your pet(s). That said, I have a lot of experience managing other people, and I do have high expectations for clear communication from clients. I have never had a complaint from clients that already have human children. I am very clear about the kind of care I offer. For example, I clearly state I can do 4-8 hrs for letting out. That does not mean that when I get to the sit, you tell me you expect every hour. I also do not cancel other bookings so that you can be the sole client. I have been through that, obliged, and the client was still dissatisfied. I am running a business and the new owner of this app runs on harsh algorithms that hide you in search. Let’s try to be better and more human, than conforming to private equity and their bottom line. For the fur babies, I can follow their diet and pet or play or brush their hair. As long as you give me a list or schedule, I'll do my best to provide it. I have extensive experience with pets at all stages of life. (As well as other kinds of pets which I am open to caring for.) I understand the care required for a wide variety of needs and can do my best to provide reinforcement on current training, but I am not going to be attuned right off the jump to the nuances noticed by your trainer or you... I can reinforce sit, lay down, paw, stay, heel, rollover, or anything else. I can administer medicine. I am not formally trained in pet CPR, but I am trained in human CPR and have looked at videos for pet CPR. When I was younger I worked as a lifeguard, and have a remarkable natural ability to stay calm and act fast in crisis situations. This comes in handy, for example: when protecting my maltipoo from other dogs, managing territorial behavior, or keeping one dog out of another dog’s bowl. My schedule is flexible and I have a car. I have a small business and partial responsibility of my dog, so I do need to be able to run errands, go to meetings, or check in at home to keep that part of my life running. For extended care, and distance further than 5 miles, I prefer be given the option to stay over at clients for the sake of gas costs, time, and energy. First meeting and approach are important to setting a precedent, I first see if the pet will approach me. I like to offer my hand palm down for them to smell. Sometimes it takes a few times smelling the hand before they feel comfortable letting me pet them. In my opinion it’s important not to mess up first impressions with the pet. Spending time together builds familiarity bonds, being attentive builds trust. It’s important to build rapport.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs of friends and families! I’ve boarded dogs with high energy, such as Australian Shepherds and low energy, such as senior dogs. I work from home, so your dog will receive all the love and care it needs! I am currently work from home, so I have all the time in the world to care for your dog! My job is very flexible, making it easy to tend to your dog’s needs. I am located at Factory 52 where there is plenty of areas to walk safely! Whether it’s around campus of Favtpry 52 or neighboring communities, safe sidewalks and clean up has been a top priority and safety for the dogs I care for. Additionally, there is an onsite dog park that is fenced for your pet to run freely!

“Akita is professional, very responsive and amazing! My fur baby felt at home immediately. He even ate his food which he never does when he’s away from home. She was so accommodating and did such a wonderful job taking him on plenty of walks and potty breaks! He was so excited for day 2 daycare. I’m so happy I found a forever sitter for my baby! Thank you Akita!”

Kimberlee H.

“Amanda was great! She was responsive and communicative and made us feel comfortable leaving our pug with her for the day. She provided several updates and some cute photos. She offered to let us see the space and to meet the other dogs she was watching prior to the official sit to ensure we were comfortable. She also has a nice closed-in backyard, a big water fountain and lots of space for the dogs!”

Zoe N.

“Monte did a great job with Lola, she was clearly so happy and comfy and totally worn out by the end of the day!”

Helen O.

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.

“Eric was excellent! I have a high energy pup and Eric took such great care of him all day. Would definitely recommend.”

Ashley I.

About: Hi! I’m Jenna — a recent transplant from a Colorado to Cincinnati, and a dog mom of one little munchkin. I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone new, as I used to travel tons! So my goal now that I can care for others is to make both you and your pup feel totally at ease. I’ve cared for dogs on and off the Rover platform of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, from easygoing seniors to high-energy walkers who need a good workout. I’m super detail oriented & therefore very attentive to routines — feeding schedules, walk preferences, medication instructions, and any quirks that make your dog your dog. You can expect regular photo and video updates, clear communication, and a calm, responsible approach to care. I treat every dog like they’re my own, which means I’m a great fit if you’re looking for someone dependable, communicative, and genuinely invested in your dog’s well-being. I’m happy to do a meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a good match! Looking forward to meeting you and your pup 🐾 Im in the office during the week, but regularly free on nights & weekends for support when you have other life commitments. My own dog, Nash, is home when I’m at work and we can arrange crate time or separate rooms if staying overnight. I'm available to take your dog out on long walks, play fetch in the backyard, or just keep them company for a break in their day. Whatever works for your dog works for me!

Kate B.

About: I’ve always had a dog while growing up and have a true love for them! I may not have any pets of my own at the moment but I treat each dog as such. Since I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life I know the kind of love, attention and care they need and ensure to provide all of those traits for this I’m in the process of getting my real estate license so I’m currently working part time mostly at nights, which leaves my mornings and afternoons pretty available to check in/walk your dogs! My current place does not allow me to have pets, but from having my own dogs growing up I know the kind of care it takes to handle a dog in your own home! I would treat both your home and dogs with respect and give your dog the love you need for the time being

“Wonderful dog walker. She is honest and does her best to take care of your dogs. You literally can’t go wrong with Anna. She works hard and puts all her love into taking care of our doggos. I am new to Cincinnati and it’s great to find someone I can trust to come to my house and take care of my best friend like family.”

Hunter F.

About: I love animals. With over 30 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, animals have been a central part of my life since childhood. I started walking dogs in middle school as my very first job, and I’ve never stopped loving it! I’ve raised and trained my own dogs from puppyhood, so I understand the patience and consistency needed during those early stages. I currently care for my own dogs, I love them and they are my best friends and 100% part of our family. I have experience with senior pets who require medication, as well as rescue dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding due to anxiety or feeding concerns. I’m reliable, calm, and deeply dedicated to each pet’s unique needs. I am open to most pets and have had hamsters, birds, fish, frogs, turtles, lizards, hermit crabs, etc over the years! As an elementary school staff member, I have my summers off—giving me the time and flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care for your furry family members. My schedule is very flexible this summer! I work in an elementary school during the school year, so I'm off for the summer months. Other than occasionally carpooling my son to camp, my days are wide open and I'm available to accommodate a variety of pet care needs I prefer to care for dogs in their own home so they stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and secure, especially when their routine changes. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your dog’s specific needs

About: I’ve taken care of many cats and dogs of my own and for friends and family for many many years. I have raised cats and dogs as young as 6 weeks as well as trained them. I love meeting new fluffy friends of all kinds! I have a job as a barista and typically work there 5 days a week so my schedule is very flexible. My availability is ever changing so feel free to ask! I have a 20 lb shetland golden retriever mix that loves to play, is very well mannered, and gets along with dogs of all sizes! I have a walking trail near where I live that I typically walk my dog and the ones I sit. I also love to take pups to Riverside to walk. If I am attending to another persons home i’ve always been raised with the idea of “leave it better than you found it”. If there are indoor cats I pay close attention to detail to make sure they don’t accidentally get out.

About: As a rising third-year veterinary student at the University of Illinois, I bring both professional training and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for. Through my veterinary education and hands-on clinical experience, I have worked with animals of many breeds, sizes, ages, energy levels, and temperaments—including shy, anxious, high-energy, and senior pets. My experience has taught me how to safely handle animals, recognize signs of stress or illness, and adapt my approach to each pet’s individual personality and needs. Whether your pet loves playtime and attention or prefers a calmer, quieter environment, I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and have experience with feeding routines, medications, and providing patient, attentive care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone dependable, communicative, and trustworthy, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated so you can feel confident they are in good hands. My schedule is very flexible this summer! I am currently working part-time and participating in some veterinary shadowing experiences, but outside of that I have wide availability for pet care. I am available most weekends and have flexibility throughout the week, especially during mornings and evenings. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that best fit their pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a veterinary student, I have experience recognizing signs of stress, illness, and discomfort in animals and understand the importance of careful, attentive care. I strive to create a calm and positive environment for every pet while respecting their normal routines and boundaries. I know how important trust is when someone else is caring for your pet, so I will always communicate clearly, provide updates, and treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs extra patience, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, etc since I was a teenager! Neighbors, family members and friends trust me to go into those homes to feed, care for, and walk their pets. I have extensive experience giving medications to pets, and well as love to walk, so would love to have your friend tag along! I am a public school teacher, so work a consistent schedule through the week, but love to go on walks and play toss in the afternoons/evenings. I do not work June-August so would have a free schedule to care for your pets! I have no kids in my home. I live in a safe area, and have a yard to play in. It is only 3/4th fenced, so I use a 30ft leash in the yard always for safety. I do have a 4 month old golden retriever, but she loves all dogs and is always looking for a play buddy

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 grew up with cats and now also have a dog, and as a kid loved taking care of my dad's horse with him. I've always loved animals, so I jump at any chance to take care of friends' and family's pets, and have been paid to sit as-needed for over four years now. I have taken care of cats, dogs, fish, reptiles, and houseplants for a few days to a few weeks, and always make sure that I keep in contact with the owner for safety and to show them how their pet is doing. I've been on Rover for almost a year, and have found that with mutual trust and respect, taking care of any animal go from a task to a friendship. I'm a full-time college student in Cincinnati, so I sit for people on a case-by-case basis to responsibly balance my schedule and make sure that I can properly commit to someone's pet. During breaks I'm in Lexington and have a much more open schedule. When I go to clients' homes, I always make sure I get detailed instructions so I don't invade their privacy while caring for their pet. I can clean, do yard work, water plants; most anything I'm asked to do to fully take care of your pet and home. I interact with pets according to their wants, needs, personality, and schedule so that I can care for them in the way they need. Oftentimes I do homework in the house, especially if the pet(s) like calmer companionship, and make sure to love on them as much as they let me.

“On short notice Stephanie was able to walk my dog (Megan) several days in a row. She was great with Megan & they bonded immediately. Stephanie was comfortable in caring for Megan.. Megan had so much fun walking with Stephanie that I have already scheduled several walking dates with Stephanie in September.”

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!

“This is the second time Tasha and Joseph have watched Dora. They always update me on Dora and how she is doing. They are great and I would have them watch Dora again!”

“Courteous, competent, really helped in a pickle with our challenging puppy. Words can't express how much I appreciate his care for dog. He sent us pictures of how happy she was while we were gone and she very clearly missed him when she got back home. I would definitely ask him to host her again in the future if needed.”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was in high school. I have experience in dog walking, watching pets at my home or theirs, and volunteering at local shelters. I'm currently working full time, so I am available nights and weekends to board your pet. This is to ensure that I can give your pet the attention they deserve! I have a huge fenced in yard and also 5 dogs of my own, so your pet will surely get lots of love and exercise at my home!

“I simply cannot recommend Karen enough for your dog's vacay. She is WONDERFUL! I recent had a tough situation with my dog, Dex, coming down with a horrendous allergic reaction just in time for a business trip i had to make. And Karen stepped in, took care of him for the whole week, sent me pictures of him recovering. She was so enthusiastic to take care of him and also administer his medication on my behalf. I could not have left him with anyone else other than Karen, not even my friends, with the confidence that he will be well looked after. When I came back to town, Dex was almost back to his best and was healthy and happy! Karen, you ROCK!”

Lauren R.

“Lauren is AMAZING! We could tell from the meet and greet that she is a true dog lover and Newton would be happy staying with her. At Lauren’s, he was well cared for and given lots of love. We got a bunch of pictures, which eases my nerves when we’re away on a trip. I could tell he was happy and comfortable because when we picked him up, he was laying on the front porch by her feet happy as can be. Will definitely be booking again!!”

Emily S.

“John was great. He took fantastic pictures of Archie and Archie always looked like he was having a great time. Would definitely rebook with John in the future.”
