“I appreciated that they were focused on getting Piper to eat since I'd relayed that when she gets anxious (like while I'm away) she tends to not want to eat. They sent well-timed pictures that showed the dogs relaxed by themselves or with one of the family. The stay went well but it was a bit confusing with having both ladies message me answers to the same question.”
“Tami was wonderful with our poodle! She was good at communicating with us during our time away, and it was reassuring coming home to an unstressed dog. Thank you, Tami! Hopefully Tami will allow us to share our dog with her again.”
“Kyri did an excellent job looking after my dog, Milky. She was very attentive and responsible, and she consistently sent me pictures and videos so I could see how he was doing. It was clear he was comfortable, well cared for, and in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and would trust her again with Milky for future boardings.”
“This was the second time Amber has hosted Ollie for us, and just like the first time, the experience couldn't have been better. Amber took great care of Ollie. He played with and gets along well with her other dogs. He was very tired when he got home, which is an added bonus! Definitely recommend Amber K as your Rover Sitter.”
“Lisa was amazing. I received daily updates with pictures, which calmed my nerves since Bailey never said with anyone but family. I will definitely use her again and will recommend her to anybody that needs a dog sitter”
“Our bulldogs are return visitors and they absolutely love their vacations with Karen! They get time with other dog friends and Karen provides lots of cuddles and enrichment daily! We appreciate all the pictures and updates!”
“Nate and Whitney were great with my Australian Shepherd. They kept me updated with pictures and I could tell that he was well exercised while I was away. I will definitely be contacting them again if I need to go out of town and can't take Ozzie with me!”
“Very happy with Summer's stay. Claudia provided updates and lots of pictures. I could tell Summer had plenty of attention, cuddles, and play time. Summer's bag was packed and ready when we arrived to a happy dog.”
“This was my first time booking with Rover and I have a dog who is a bit complex with his feelings towards people. Amber let me bring him for a meet and greet prior to his stay and she was fantastic. She and her husband made me feel very comfortable leaving Koda with them and worked with me as I needed to have someone else pick up and drop off. She kept me updated with pictures and took him on walks. I will absolutely be booking with Amber again if she agrees and absolutely recommend. Thank you so much Amber!!”
“Paige was awesome with Sadie. She sent updates and pictures and took care of Sadie like she was part of the family. Paige was also very helpful working with me on drop off and pick up times. She’s definitely going to be the first person I reach out to next time I need a sitter and I would recommend her to everyone else.”
“Daisy is amazing. I appreciate the communication from beginning to end. I love the photos and videos that were sent every day ensuring me my lil phoenyx was enjoying himself while in her care. Daisy is very responsive and accommodating. I was extremely grateful to find Daisy at the last minute. While this was my first time ever booking within rover.com, Daisy made it an easy and effortless process. I am glad to say that I will be booking again during my next visit to Ohio.”
“Mariah was great and extremely flexible! I was in the process of PCSing and she watched my two dogs within a days notice and was quick to respond and meet up when I needed to pick my girls up early upon notification that I had to leave earlier than expected. 10/10 recommend!!”
“Ezgi was just wonderful with Charlie. She kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the entire time Charlie was with her. Ezgi took Charlie on walks and sent us videos of Charlie enjoying the time outside. She is kind and caring, and so so good with animals. Would highly recommend Ezgi to anyone looking for someone to look after their pets!”
“Treven loved having other dogs to play with and Vanessa provided extra reassurance that things were going well throughout his stay. I hope he is able to stay with her and her family again.”
“Kayla was wonderful, even with me as a last minute, first time rover booker. We are so grateful to have had her watch our precious Milo. She sent update pictures. Was super communicative. Clearly loved on him tons- as he was extra demanding and not appreciative of us working vs playing when we got home lol Will 100% use Kayla again!”
About: Puppy care, special needs support, brain games, training, and exercise. Walks, bathing, agility playtime, brain games, specialized training and more! Keeping tails wagging and minds happy with love and attention. I believe every pet deserves love, fun, and focus because they’re family too! I’m available 24/7. I can work from home any time I need to which allows for stress free and anxiety free care for boarded furbabies. My work day ends at 2pm at the latest which allows plenty of time for training and play time. I have a large fully fenced in backyard. (6ft privacy fence) I also have large baby gates up to restrict access to the bathrooms and kitchen to maintain a fun and safe environment. I have 3 well established dogs and 1 cat. The cat has its own area where the dogs can’t access it. I have hardwood floors for easy mess cleanup as I know new environments sometimes create bathroom accidents due to separation anxiety at first. I have crates of all sizes if needed. I do allow animas on the furniture which I know some do not like. I can use a crate or dog bed if preferred for bedtime to avoid that so they have consistent care between their home and mine. My neighborhood is extremely low trafficked for safer walks and a dog park nearby.
“Moki loves Catherine! He has so much fun when he’s with her and she takes excellent care of him. He usually hates car rides but gets so happy when he knows we are going to see her.”
“Christine and her husband were very nice and took amazing care of olli!! They watched him over our wedding weekend and brought him on the day of to let him be in pictures!! we couldn’t have asked for anyone better!! They sent pictures everyday and kept us updated.”

About: I've had dogs since I was a child. I feel comfortable handling dogs with all sorts of quirks & needs. I have owned/lived with dogs of all ages and breeds but have a soft spot for seniors. I currently have a 13 year old pit mix who enjoys daily walks. I am passionate about animals, and I am committed to providing amazing care to your dogs/cats! I am currently working full time during the week. My availability for walking during the week after 4:30pm and I am flexible on the weekends. When with your animal, I will treat them as I treat mine - with care, love, and compassion. I am extremely responsible and committed to the safety of your pet above all.
“Had Kendall watch over my cat for two weeks. Fantastic job. Always communicated and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. Make sure to hire when you need someone to look after your animal”
About: I have always loved cats and have experience caring for my own pets as well as helping friends and family with theirs. I am comfortable feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, providing playtime, and giving plenty of attention and companionship. As a firefighter/EMT, I am dependable, detail-oriented, and take responsibility seriously. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and routine, and I will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I've fostered several different kittens/ cats over the years and helped find them their forever homes. I have two sweet boys of my own and I foster outdoor cats around the neighborhood getting them neutered when I can and finding them places to adopt them out so they are off the street
“Taylor is absolutely amazing and we will be using her again!! We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience! She took excellent care of Luna and Red while we were away. She made sure they were fed, had fresh water, got plenty of potty breaks outside, and most importantly, gave them lots of love and snuggles. She sent us photos and updates, which really helped us relax knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. She exceeded every expectation. I accidentally mixed up and changed the schedule several times, and she was incredibly patient, flexible, and understanding throughout the entire process. Luna and Red were clearly comfortable with her, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them. We will absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter! Highly recommend!”
“Anna took great care of my cat who doesn’t do well being left alone. Katy was calm and happy when I returned. Anna kept in touch and sent pictures. My house was clean when I returned. Anna’s awesome and I highly recommend her if you looking for a cat sitter.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and helped at the local vet clinic growing up. My last dog passed away from heart failure in 2022. It’s a busy time for my sons activities so it’s not a good time to bring a full time dog into our home at this time but would love to help others out. I work full time outside the home M-TH from 8-3 and half day Fridays (occasional Fridays totally free). I am willing to be flexible with week day stays if they can manage being alone during those hours. Our yard is unfenced but I would walk or chain them out depending on owner preference. They would be treated like they were my own.
“Karen is wonderful. She took amazing care of my finicky kitties. I loved her commentary on each visit and the pictures she took. It made me feel more comfortable with leaving them and knowing they were in good hands so I didn't have to stress about it. Thanks so much to Karen!!!!”
“Jayson did absolutely amazing with my 3 pups this week and they get excited to see him for their drop in visits! I’m glad they didn’t scare him away so he can keep doing drop in visits with them 🐶🐶🐶”
“Maddie quickly won over all of our cats, even the most shy girl of the bunch! She is friendly, communicative, and observant of the pets in her care. I will definitely be booking Maddie in the future because I know our girls will be in great hands with her.”

I’m very reliable, detail-oriented, and used to caring for others—so you can trust that your pet will be safe and well taken care of. I’m happy to follow your pet’s exact routine, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or giving medications (if needed).

I’m available for dog walking and drop-in visits, and I do my best to be flexible with scheduling. I also try to respond quickly to messages! I’d love to meet you and your pet 🐶💕 Pet care is something I intentionally build into my routine each week. I keep a structured schedule as a nursing student and nursing assistant, so I plan my days to ensure I’m available, on time, and able to give each pet my full attention.

“Ragen did such an amazing job watching over our dog babies. She did more than what was asked of her and both our pups really loved her. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much Ragen.”
“This is our third or fourth time booking with Sierra. We absolutely adore her! She was flexible with our schedule due to the snow storm and continues to show the utmost compassion & patience for our four kitties (one of them has cancer and needs meds daily). It’s difficult for us to go anywhere without constantly worrying about our cats, but we trust Sierra. Every time we have come home from our trip, they are all as happy and healthy as when we left.”
“This was our first experience using Rover, but it was a great one! Kylie was so responsive and did an amazing job looking after our cats. We got regular updates and she took extra time to play with them and give them love while we were gone. We came back to healthy, happy, and contented pets. Would book her again!”
“Sara has been great with my corgi, Cersei! She is always on time and has been incredibly flexible with my schedule. She is also very considerate with Cersei and accommodating to her needs for the past few months and Cersei loves her. She will continue to be my go-to whenever I need someone to help with Cersei.”
“Artur is great. He loves cats as much as dogs. He is very conscientious. My cat loves to play with him. Artur sweeps up the litter up and recycles my cans. He saw my desk that I bought still in the box and he put it together for me. He is a Ukrainian immigrant but his English is good. I highly recommend him.”

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I have spent a lifetime caring for my own pets as well as rescuing animals. I think pets are an extremely important part of my livelihood and good mental health so I understand that your pet is an integral part of your family as well. I also understand that I am a guest in your pets home and will treat your home with the utmost respect and privacy. I am a mom, a wife and an Air Force veteran and I understand that schedules change due to work, family needs, and sickness. Being a stay at home mom with school age children allows me to be flexible and reliable. I also received my OH-EMT Intermediate medic training at WPAFB while serving in the military. I am very comfortable administering medications and any treatments. As of 2023 I also obtained my Instructor Animal CPR and First Aide Instructor Certification. I am a full time pet care specialist/trainer. I specialize with dogs that have anxiety disorders that can show themselves as aggressive behaviors which I believe are actually unmet needs. Starting April 4, 2024 we begin construction on a fenced in yard so we can provide day training/daycare while you are at work and boarding!
“Katherine was a lifesaver! Our flight got cancelled and we weren’t going to be able to pick up our dogs from the kennel on time because of that. Katherine was able to pick up our dogs for us, on the same day and with only a few hours’ notice, and dog sit them at her house until we made it back home. We are so thankful for her and how she helped our four-legged family!”
“Jeanie was so sweet and excited to have my senior pup! She sent me a couple pictures and an update to ease my mind dropping him off somewhere new. Xavier did great at her house and I could tell he was very comfortable with her when I picked him up. I’m super thankful to have found her in a pinch. Now, I know I can drop him off again!”
“My fur baby was very happy to be in Molli and her fur babies company! I was able to work peacefully knowing that Ariya was in good hands . I will certainly consider her and highly recommend her. I am so thankful that Molli even picked and dropped off Ariya from my house!”
“Elya sent plenty of pictures of the stay, my sam looked genuinely happy as he was receiving all the belly scratches he could ask for, was flexible with pickup and drop off day of as I was not sure when I originally booked, she followed my care instruction to a T has been one of my best rover sitters yet will definitely use again! Thanks so much from me &sam again!”
“Nate & Whitney were amazing! This was my first time using Rover and it was very last minute. The two were so accommodating and my pup, Miller had a blast with them. They sent pictures & updates throughout the time with him. He also got to go on a nice long walk and played lots of fetch. Would definitely recommend and will be using Nate & Whitney again!”
“Aubrey really helped us out with last minute daycare after a death in our family. Our dog Maggie got along well with her two terriers. She updated me with pictures and texts through out the day. Thank you Aubrey!”
“Ezgi is an amazing host! She sent me lots of pictures and videos throughout the day. She took all the dogs to the dog park, and they all got along very well. I highly recommend Ezgi. Thank you again”
About: I have cared for dogs for about 9 years now. Anywhere from my own dogs to family or friends. I have always loved dogs. I occasionally do fundraisers for local shelters to show my support. Your dog is guaranteed to be well taken care of, some may even say spoiled, at my house. I even have my own furry friend to keep them company & worn out. I currently am on leave from work until the end of June, leaving me home 24 hours a day and 7 days a week! Meaning ultimate snuggle time and plenty of hanging out with the doggos. I have unlimited water available for dogs whenever they need. My backyard has a 4-foot tall chain link fence , perfect for dogs to run around and play in as much as they want. My house is very dog friendly—dogs are allowed on the furniture and in any room they please. While I do have a 2 year old daughter at home, I am very consistent with teaching her to leave the dogs alone , even our own. Dogs should have personal space , and a break when needed. Also, your dog MUST be friendly with young children, I do take my own precautions but having a patient/friendly dog is the start.
“Today was Rue’s very first day at doggy daycare with Arlissa, and I could not be more thankful for the wonderful care she gave my sweet girl. From the very start, she was so kind and responsive, and she sent me the cutest pictures of Rue playing during the day—which completely warmed my heart. Those photos honestly brought me so much joy that I’ll probably end up framing them! It gave me such peace of mind knowing Rue was safe, happy, and loved while I was at work. I would recommend Arlissa to absolutely anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and welcoming place for their dog. I’ll definitely be booking with her many more times moving forward. Thank you, Arlissa, for treating Rue like one of your own!❤️”
“I boarded my 13 week French Bulldog for a week with Angela. Leaving him was hard but Angela and her sweet children and so good with the dog! She is super flexible and always kept me up to date. Great service and great sitter!”
About: Hi there, my name is Kristen and I have a slight dog obsession. November 2025 started year five of me owning and operating a pet care company that is listed as an LLC in Ohio, and I have loved every single second of it! While on a walk your dog will be my sole focus. I will be sure to select a different route (if possible) during each walk to help them get familiar with their area, but to also help stimulate their brain with the different scents. If you have multiple dogs that need to be walked separately, for any reason, I will rotate my routes so that each dog is exploring a different area instead of where their fur sibling just was. I am happy to go as fast paced, or as leisurely as Fido wants to take our time together. My typical drop-in (play date) visit consists of the following: enter and greet your beloved furkid who will be totally excited to see me (hello treats!- only if it's okay with you first), and then take them outside to potty. While outside I am happy to play fetch, or any other activity they're interested in. Once we come back in I check the water/food situation, and am happy to take care of any medical needs that may be required at this time from giving pills to injections. There's time for a snuggle, or a game, and then it's one last potty break before I head out for the morning or afternoon. I send detailed Rover cards after every visit, and will include as many photos as possible. For boarding and daycare we are located on 30 acres in Tipp City, with 6 private fully fenced dog parks to choose from. We have 10 kennels, and pups are kenneled during enrichment and overnight with an on-site team member who stays with them. Disney Channel + YouTube classical music plays while pups rest in their kennels between private park playtime and playgroup. You can find out more information by looking at Blockheads and Bows Pet Services LLC online! Dog walking/pet sitting is my passion and full time career. Even while having a steady schedule I have the flexibility that allows me to get to your VIP quickly while maintaining a high level of quality care for all of the animals I care for. From how your pets eat their meals, to sleeping arrangements I try to keep things as normal as possible for them. During my time with your pet they have my undivided attention.
About: For the past 8 years, I have been involved in rescue work and have gained experience fostering dogs and cats of varying ages and personalities. I have also worked at a dog training facility, gaining more experience and knowledge of dogs' body language, needs, and training. From caring for newborn puppies to senior dogs, from fearful to playful, every experience has been fulfilling. I am a proud owner of three rescue fur babies who bring love and joy into my life every day. I will forever be grateful for all the lessons they taught me and continue teaching me every day about love, joy, compassion, appreciation and patience I believe in using positive reinforcement methods and showing patience and creativity when handling animals. I have deep respect for their unique personalities and always strive to ensure their safety and well-being, fostering positive associations and allowing them the freedom to make choices independently Hey there! I recently relocated to Dayton and am looking for opportunities to spend as much time as possible with animals. I am fascinated by animal psychology and behaviour, and by how they learn and communicate. I regularly take my pups to dog classes in the evenings, go on long walks during the day and study online from home I have three beautiful pets to keep your fur baby company, or I can separate them so your paw-friend has peace of mind and personal space. If you prefer to keep your sweet little one in the crate, we will make it a calm, relaxing experience with a yummy food puzzle and classical music in the background. When pet sitting at your place, I can follow your instructions and guidance to make sure the little paws have everything they need. I enjoy spending time teaching dogs good manners and new skills. We practice obedience training with my pups every day, and my cat just started learning new tricks too. If you like, I can create an individual training plan for your pet during their stay, or you can let me know what to work on, and I'll make sure your pup is receiving the training. Any training is welcome, from puppy training to obedience to learning new skills. Change is stressful and scary, so I will make sure your fur baby has enough attention, physical exercise and mental stimulation. I have plenty of interactive toys for busy-minded pups, as well as lots of ideas for healthy, long-lasting snacks, such as food puzzles, KONG toys, lick mats, and sniffle games. And I'm always open to trying new activities if our furry friend has a favourite toy or game
About: I’ve always been exceptionally empathetic towards animals, and I’d like your pets to feel as if they’re on vacation when they’re with me. When I first started rover, an owner saw how well I cared for their dogs, and they became like my second family during college. I still visit after moving away. My family dog is a husky, so I can take on big energetic dogs, and my first dog ever was a Yorkshire terrier with medical problems, so I know how to administer medication if needed (I have a background in the medical field as well). You can have a stress free day knowing your animals are safe and well cared for with me. I will be with your pet the entire stay, so you don’t ever have to worry about them being left alone for long periods of time. I live in a townhouse, so I have two levels, making it larger than your average apartment. I also have a back yard with a lead allowing your dog to run around without being hand held on a leash for every potty break. I also enjoy to walk the dogs around the complex, as they get “new information” and excitement from smelling new experiences around them.
About: I've owned dogs all of my life and can provide excellent care of your dogs. They will get plenty of love and play time as well. I currently work from home and will be able to give your dogs plenty of attention. They will fit right in with us in our home. My dog is allowed to go outside on the leash because he is old and does not go very far anymore, but I can keep your pets on a leash while in my care. I can also crate your dog.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover. You can rest easy knowing your furbaby will be well taken care of! I’m dedicated to providing exceptional care, going above expectations and treating pets like family 🤍 If you’re looking for a professional, trustworthy, and loving sitter, that is me all the way! Updates include photos, happy tail wags, fulfilling multiple walks, all while providing complete peace of mind while you are away! I am dedicated about following routines, keeping up with meds, walks, playtime, with regular updates and ALWAYS great communication! 😊 I’m currently not working so I have plenty of time for walks and play time. I’m very flexible so if there’s something changed you need, let me know and we can work it out. I have a big fenced backyard where they can play with my dog, Benzie. If crate needed, I can easily do that. However, I prefer not to if they do not need it especially if I am home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16 I took care of him like he was a human being. I love taking care of dogs 🐩 I am currently a full time college student and I am looking for a part time job to help fulfill my schedule and why not spend it doing something i really would enjoy doing I have a nice fielded area where the dog can go for walks and play and use the bathroom in my home I would offer that the dogs are potty trained and comes with the dog food and treats to help me take care of your fury cute companion

About: Ever since I was a child, I was responsible for the care of a variety of animals, and I mean solely responsible. Growing up (and today), I was the one that friends and family came to for pet sitters and care/training advice. I prioritize following pet care instructions to a tee- I do not cut corners on even the most “meticulous” of care instructions. With me, you can trust that your fur babies will receive the highest quality of care and attention because of my intrinsic love for animals. My days vary a lot, but I am often able to make time if you give me a week’s notice. If you need urgent pet care, do not hesitate to reach out. I cannot promise that I will 100% be available, but I will make the time if I have it. Honestly, I prefer to play by the owner’s rules when caring for their pets. Besides that, I refuse to take anything but a gentle approach with the pets. I am very careful to only administer treats/toys as the owner instructs.

I am now also allowing face to face meetings held in my back yard. A well socialized and exercised dog is a happy dog!

About: As a firefighter and EMT, I’m dependable, responsible, and comfortable handling unexpected situations. I have experience caring for pets of friends and family and understand the importance of providing consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship. Whether your pet needs walks, feeding, playtime, or check-ins while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and ensure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I work as a firefighter/EMT and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. My schedule varies, but I keep my availability updated and communicate clearly with pet owners.

As a firefighter and EMT, safety, responsibility, and trust are a big part of my daily life. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. I make sure pets are secure at all times, monitor for any signs of illness or distress, and provide updates so owners know their pets are doing well. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own.
“Never had to have a dog walker before. Surgery on my dominant hand changed that. i knew i wanted a dependable person who loved dogs. i feel so lucky that Mike was on the list. Great communicator and, despite the truly crappy weather, G got his walks. Personable, dependable, and loves dogs. Highest recommendation.”

About: I have over 20 years caring for dogs and puppies of all breeds. I love taking them on walks or playing with them with their favorite toy. Your dog will not just sit in a cage waiting for your return. I will treat them as if they were mine. Stress free worry as I work from home so i have a flexible schedule to step away to care for your furry friend. No worries while your away. I can offer multiple services such as drop in care, long walks, some training, as well as play time. I can manage your dogs needs based off of his or her individual likes or dislikes.

About: ASK ABOUT WHAT DISCOUNTS AND PROMOTIONS I CURRENTLY HAVE Hey, I’m sure you’re wondering “why should I let this guy near my precious animal?” or something or that nature. Well here’s some basic info for you. -I’m a pet owner of 2 absolutely adorable troublemakers that I’ve raised since they were kittens so I can keep animals alive for extended time. I’ve also lived with roommates who had their own pets and have plenty of experience caring for other peoples animals. -I use to work/volunteer at an animal shelter when I was in college for a year so I have a experience working one on one and with groups of animals -Friends and family always remark on how well I get along with animals and how much I absolutely love them more than humans -I am very cooperative/receptive with your pets needs and your wishes! It’s your pet so you’ll know more than me what they need when it comes to their care. Trust me as a fellow pet owner I know! -I’m always happy to answer questions before you’d like to use me so ask away! I work a full time job Monday through Friday, sometimes weekends, and on 3rd shift hours so my availability will be unfortunately restricted to morning hours, however I will try my best to be as available as possible! Sometimes I can work outside my posted availability but no promises, feel free to ask! I do special promotions and discounts as well, ask away! I’ll treat your pet as I would treat my pets. Try and give them a clean and safe environment, with plenty of food and water and a clean litter box.
“Isabel did an awesome job communicating her time spent with Gemma! I loved seeing where they walked and getting a report on how Gemma did:) loved getting pictures throughout the day:). We will definitely ask Isabel to care for Gemma again!”
About: Hey there! My name is Caroline, I grew up in Texas with four dogs ranging in breeds from shitzu, golden retriever, Bassett hound, and corgi, with ranging ages and special needs. I am trained and able to administer any medication needed, from daily pills to administering Valium for epileptic animals. I currently am active duty military stationed at Wright-Patt and have one very large and lovable yellow lab/golden retriever mix of my own, Tanner. I am flexible with drop in times as I can work with my schedule during the week, however I ask at least a days in advance notice so I can properly plan out the day to play with, feed, and walk your fur babies. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, thanks for entrusting me to care for your pets! Weekends play dates are the most flexible as I work a standard 8-4 job most weeks, but I can flex with weekday visits when needed. I do not accept dogs in my home as I have an only child doggie that likes his space to himself, but I will more than happily walk your dogs, play with them in your home, let them out for potty breaks, feed them, etc. please let me know if any special needs your animals require.
About: I have had a deep love for animals my entire life. I’ve always grown up around cats, dogs, rabbits and even reptiles! I also used to raise & show lambs for 4H at the Clark County Fair, so I am used to the routine and responsibilities that come with animals. I have experience working at DogTown where I learned valuable skills on keeping dogs happy and calm during their boarding experience. I know it can be very stressful leaving your animal in someone’s hands, but I’m willing to do everything I can to make sure your pet is well taken care of! 🐾 I work as a part-time EMT (I usually work overnight shifts) and I am a full-time college student, but I have control over which days and times I work. Overall my schedule can be flexible and I am happy to work to ensure your pet is getting the most quality care and attention! Unfortunately, I live in an apartment where animals are not allowed. However, I am more than happy to come to your home for care! While being in a clients home it is my goal to keep it as clean as possible and respect that space! I can also do walking or playtime where the owner prefers to ensure the pet is as close to their normal routine as possible.
About: I've been relied on to walk, care for, and love not only my pets, but also friends and families. I am here to make peoples lives easier & provide quality care however that looks for your home and pet(s)🤍 I work consistently Tuesday-Thursday evenings. Got a weekend trip? I'm likely to be available and would love to help take this responsibility off your chest! I understand that all dogs are different and may require different care! My dogs are fed three times a day, taken out 3-7 times a day depending on how often people are home. They are allowed on furniture & we have an unfenced yard with rope leashes and kennels if needed for boarding! I prioritize customized care for any animals I look after, anything to make them comfortable!
About: Hi! I've taken care of animals for about 40 years. I had horses growing up, then my kids got into 4h and I've help raise chicken, turkeys, pigs, and dairy feeders. I've also had numerous big dogs that have lived to be anywhere from 10 to 14 years. We recently rescued our dog harley and we use rover when we go on vacation so I thought I would help others with the stress of worrying about their pets while they are gone. I promise to care for them like they were my own.❤️ I'm not working so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pup! I have open availability to watch ur babies in ur home, have drop in visits, or just go for a walk!! I would prefer to watch pets in your home bc my pet isn't very dog friendly and is very protective of my husband and I.
About: Hi there! My name’s Emily & I love being active while also caring for people & animals. I’m incredibly easygoing & will cater to your requests & needs to give your animals the best possible care. I’m very diligent & well organized, which I believe will make me a great candidate in caring for part of your family! Feel free to call or text me with any questions as you think of them, I’m incredibly approachable & will love to hear from you & help however I can. :) I currently work at Children's and work alternating weekends. When I am not at the hospital, I am most likely in the yard playing with Tito and Blue! My days start early with my own dogs, with long early walks & play time, as well as medications when needed! I love getting an early start to the day to help set us up for success all day. I have two incredibly loving dogs at my home who love other animals! When it comes to home visits, I am always flexible in whatever your requests/preferences are. Whether it be long walks, a local park, a fenced in yard, etc.!

“I appreciated that they were focused on getting Piper to eat since I'd relayed that when she gets anxious (like while I'm away) she tends to not want to eat. They sent well-timed pictures that showed the dogs relaxed by themselves or with one of the family. The stay went well but it was a bit confusing with having both ladies message me answers to the same question.”
“Kyri did an excellent job looking after my dog, Milky. She was very attentive and responsible, and she consistently sent me pictures and videos so I could see how he was doing. It was clear he was comfortable, well cared for, and in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and would trust her again with Milky for future boardings.”
“This was the second time Amber has hosted Ollie for us, and just like the first time, the experience couldn't have been better. Amber took great care of Ollie. He played with and gets along well with her other dogs. He was very tired when he got home, which is an added bonus! Definitely recommend Amber K as your Rover Sitter.”
“Lisa was amazing. I received daily updates with pictures, which calmed my nerves since Bailey never said with anyone but family. I will definitely use her again and will recommend her to anybody that needs a dog sitter”
“Our bulldogs are return visitors and they absolutely love their vacations with Karen! They get time with other dog friends and Karen provides lots of cuddles and enrichment daily! We appreciate all the pictures and updates!”
“Nate and Whitney were great with my Australian Shepherd. They kept me updated with pictures and I could tell that he was well exercised while I was away. I will definitely be contacting them again if I need to go out of town and can't take Ozzie with me!”
“This was my first time booking with Rover and I have a dog who is a bit complex with his feelings towards people. Amber let me bring him for a meet and greet prior to his stay and she was fantastic. She and her husband made me feel very comfortable leaving Koda with them and worked with me as I needed to have someone else pick up and drop off. She kept me updated with pictures and took him on walks. I will absolutely be booking with Amber again if she agrees and absolutely recommend. Thank you so much Amber!!”
“Paige was awesome with Sadie. She sent updates and pictures and took care of Sadie like she was part of the family. Paige was also very helpful working with me on drop off and pick up times. She’s definitely going to be the first person I reach out to next time I need a sitter and I would recommend her to everyone else.”
“Daisy is amazing. I appreciate the communication from beginning to end. I love the photos and videos that were sent every day ensuring me my lil phoenyx was enjoying himself while in her care. Daisy is very responsive and accommodating. I was extremely grateful to find Daisy at the last minute. While this was my first time ever booking within rover.com, Daisy made it an easy and effortless process. I am glad to say that I will be booking again during my next visit to Ohio.”
“Ezgi was just wonderful with Charlie. She kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the entire time Charlie was with her. Ezgi took Charlie on walks and sent us videos of Charlie enjoying the time outside. She is kind and caring, and so so good with animals. Would highly recommend Ezgi to anyone looking for someone to look after their pets!”
“Treven loved having other dogs to play with and Vanessa provided extra reassurance that things were going well throughout his stay. I hope he is able to stay with her and her family again.”
“Kayla was wonderful, even with me as a last minute, first time rover booker. We are so grateful to have had her watch our precious Milo. She sent update pictures. Was super communicative. Clearly loved on him tons- as he was extra demanding and not appreciative of us working vs playing when we got home lol Will 100% use Kayla again!”
“Moki loves Catherine! He has so much fun when he’s with her and she takes excellent care of him. He usually hates car rides but gets so happy when he knows we are going to see her.”
“Christine and her husband were very nice and took amazing care of olli!! They watched him over our wedding weekend and brought him on the day of to let him be in pictures!! we couldn’t have asked for anyone better!! They sent pictures everyday and kept us updated.”
“I felt completely comfortable with Aubry watching my dogs, she sent wonderful pictures of them throughout their visit. I will definitely be sure to use her in the future. I am so glad I found her! Max and Fez loved her too!”
“Pietro was absolutely amazing!! Maple is nervous around men but she was so comfortable with him. He sent plenty of pictures and videos and even kept her a few hours longer to help me out since I broke my leg. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Elya was by far the best dog sitter we’ve found on Rover. She was so intentional to spend time with our dog, taking her on walks and giving her a bath during her stay. It felt like we were dropping our dog off at a friends’ house rather than just a boarding place. Easily 5 stars!!!”
