“Once again Paisley’s second parents came through for us! Paisley has some health issues and not only did they give her all the meds (which were a bit complicated) they took daily walks. I’m sure she will be expecting those now that she’s home! 😂 Michael continued to send us pictures to let us know she was okay. She misses them I’m sure!”
“Misty was quick to respond with the initial setup. While she had our dog, she would send daily updates and pictures. Pick up and drop off was easy. Most importantly, our pet was happy!”
“John and his wife Kelly took awesome care of our senior pup. They were fast with communication, gave her meds, and were very loving towards our girl. We will use them again!”
“Tasha and Joseph were life savers for a last minute first time booking and clearly incredible hosts for my pup Rumi. He got comfortable with them very quickly which says a lot about their understanding of dog behavior and ability to comfort a pup with separation anxiety. Rumi got lots of play and was very tired when he got home. I really appreciate y’all!”
“Susan is so thoughtful and attentive. It was our first time leaving our boys with her and she did a great job with her communication with us and care of our pugs. We will use her again!”
“Great communication and very friendly! When we picked up and dropped off our pup their house was very clean. Our pup was super excited to see us when we picked her up but you could tell she was very comfortable with Jenna and her husband! They treated her like their own! Would recommend and would use her again!”
“The best sitter we have met on Rover. Our Dachshund moped for days after coming back home... She definitely didn't miss us during vacation as much as we missed her! Lots of pictures and videos during the stay provide peace of mind that your dog is receiving the best possible treatment. We feel very fortunate to have found Teah on Rover and we'll rebook without hesitation.”
“Rachel & Nicholas were great with Moonie! They made him feel right at home, and I know he had a lot of fun playing with their dogs. They even gave him a bath when he got dirty. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for great care for their pup.”
“Melissa and her family were the most gracious hosts for our fur baby, Ozzie. He felt right at home and all the pictures of him playing, lounging, and enjoying treats was all the proof we needed that we made the best choice with Melissa. We will absolutely rebook the next time we have an out of town trip.”
“Sandy did a great job with my Bonnie! I had to contact Sandy last minute during a trip to NC because the hotel I was staying in did not allow pets. Bonnie left with extra treats and toys and did not want to leave when I picked her up. I will use Sandy again if I ever travel through Cincinnati!”
“Brendan and his family made sure our pups were cared for and happy while we were on vacation. We appreciated his updates and wouldn’t hesitate to book him again!”
“She was very kind and attentive to our dog. I had to go on a long international trip, but she sent photos and updates the whole time. I definitely recommend her—thank you for your care.”
“Our golden retriever Chelsea had a great time with Kanika and Jan! We really appreciated the meet and greet prior, frequent photo updates, flexibility in our timing with our travel, and the great effort put forth in considering Chelsea's needs and preferences. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Taylor and Brian were phenomenal in helping to take care of our miniature schnauzer, Hugo! Their candid pictures and check-ins made us feel like we were not far from Hugo; although we were several states away. I can’t thank them enough for giving us piece of mind! We will definitely board with them again!”
“Picky pet owner here, and I could not be happier. Blue got to play in a big fenced in yard with Colleens two sweet dogs. Constant care, love and cuddles. Blue would be very happy to go back.”
“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received! Patrice was attentive, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. They kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog was relaxed, happy, and clearly well taken care of when I returned. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Jennifer was a life saver! At last minute my boarding plans changed, and she was able to help out. She gave excellent care to Katey, and sent pics and daily updates. Katey loved being there! Five plus star ratings!”

“Kirstey was great with our cat Dora! Communicated well during all of her visits and in between. She was very caring and hit it off with our little Dora from the first moment they met. Dora needed 2 visits a day because of her medication and Kirstey was great! Would recommend Kirstey and book with her again! Thanks Kirstey!”
“I liked Chloe the minute I met her. She came over for a pre visit to meet my cats and learn about their routine. Ava and Tucker warmed up to her right away and I knew they would be in good hands. Chloe arrived on schedule for four mornings and five evenings to feed, play with and attend the litter box. When I arrived home from my trip, the house was in order, and everything looked as I left it. I’ll definitely request Chloe again. 🏠😸👍🏻👍🏻”
“Eric went above and beyond for my two kitties! He is great and takes phenomenal pictures!! He took excellent care of my babies and even offered help outside of caring for my animals when my home unexpectedly flooded from a severe rain storm. I would highly recommend him to anyone!”
About: I have always been around various breeds of dogs from different types of training. I was always the one to jump up when it came time to feed/walk/bathe/pill/groom the dogs around my family and the neighborhood. I have always figured out how to comfort and help the anxious or reactive dogs, my goal was and is to just help these animals exist as happily, heathy, and peacefully as possible. I’ve fosterf puppies, fostered and retrained aggressive adolescents, and nurtured seniors. They give true unconditional love, I only wish to return it. I have a pretty open schedule currently, so I can easily adjust my schedule to make sure your pet gets the most fulfilling experience with my time with them. Although I cannot watch your dog at my own home, I am willing to monitor your dog through the entire visit to ensure they do not cause damage at your home or to themselves. I know plenty of ways to stimulate your pet inside and outside.
“Constance was great - she came by beforehand to meet the animals and review all their medical care, then came exactly when she said she would, took care of our animals, and even spent some time socializing with them so they weren’t lonely for a couple days. Would 100% rebook!”
“Wolf did an INCREDIBLE job taking care of our babies while we were away! They took the initiative to stop by before we left for an introduction and to get to know us, which left me feeling completely confident in them. We got a great little summary every day of how the visit went and several silly pictures each day of the cats. Wolf was such a treat and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a competent and capable pet sitter!”
“Jessalyn came to the meet and greet with extensive notes, discussed her experience, and put us at ease. My cats didn’t make it easy for her by hiding, but she was able to successfully pill my cat each needed time. She showed up on time and went above and beyond to try and locate them as needed. I would recommend her to anyone needing drop-ins, especially with medication needs.”
“Maureen is outstanding to work with. Very professional and kind. Our kitties, even our sometimes shy rescue kitty, loved her right away. 😻. It’s reassuring to know they are so happy and so well cared for. I think our cats will text her for play dates - even after we are home! 🤭”
“I’ve had Callie take care of my cat on 2 separate occasions and she has done an amazing job. She did exactly as asked and even went above and beyond by doing things such as taking out the trash, and running my faucets during a freeze warning while I was out of town. She never hesitated to ask questions if she was unsure of something and would keep me updated on her visits. I can trust Callie to take care of my cat in the future and would recommend her to everyone who is looking for someone to watch their pets.”
“Edina and I had a miscommunication about timing prior to her first visit with Willow but she went above and beyond for the rest of the visits to make it up to me. Overall Willow and I had a positive experience with Edina this week!”
“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!!”
“Elizabeth has always been so responsive and reliable! She does a great job taking care of our kitties, one of which has some special medical needs. Highly recommend!”

“Alij is such a sweet and caring sitter. She kept me updated and made me feel comfortable while I was away from my dogs. I’m so grateful for the great care she gave them, and I’ll definitely be booking her again.”
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.
“David was great with Myles. He is already going to potty outside after just a week of training with David. I can already see a difference with his behavior and his separation anxiety and also the way he interacts with other dogs. His personality is starting to shine now. I think after a few more weeks of training Myles is going to be in great shape.”
About: I am a responsible mom of kids and animals. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats. From a young age, I have had many pets, worked in a vet office and volunteered at an animal shelter. We have fostered many dogs and cats. I love animals, and I will love your animals as if they were my own. I can give medication, walk them or even take them to dog parks. We take our dogs camping, hiking, and kayaking and they love it. I am a homeschool mom of teenagers. This means I am flexible on my time and availability. We are home a lot, so your pets are not left alone long. I have a fenced-in yard, and I can attend to almost anything your pets would need or the client would like me to do to care for their pet.
“excellent caregiver, she cares for the pets, she has her house equipped so that our pets have a great time. I recommend it. Thank you very much for taking care of Wyatt. He always kept me informed about my pet and how well he was having a good time. thanks kimberly”
“Michael was great! He asked questions to know Rosie better. He kept in touch with us before her daycare date. During her stay he kept us up to date & sent pictures. We would definitely recommend them & would schedule with them again if we visit the area. It was a perfect situation for our Rosie! Thanks, Michael!”
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life! Currently, I have an elderly Beagle mix and GSD, but growing up I had Corgis, Chihuahuas, Labs, and many more. Understanding the breed and how the owner interacts with their animal, their personality, helps me connect with them quickly! I am currently working from home. My dogs are inside and outside all day! I love taking a mental break and throwing the ball with them periodically throughout my workday. Tell me all the things your dog loves! I will make sure to care for them as closely and attentively as you do to make sure they feel peace in your absence.
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.
About: I’ve been involved with dog rescue for many years. I worked with virtually every type of dog there is. From shy, timid to very high energy. I’ve had dogs that had aggression issues. I worked with dogs on leash training, housebreaking, and socialization. I am retired. I have nothing but time on my hands! I volunteer Thursday mornings at an equine therapy barn. But I will still have time to take care of animals on Thursdays. I am open to caring for dogs in my home. But! They have to be dog and cat friendly. I would prefer not to have younger dogs, only because my dogs are older and don’t like young dogs, jumping all over them. My dogs are very dog friendly though. My cats are very dog friendly. In fact, they prefer dogs over our cats!

About: Hello! I’m a Part-Time working Momma and we love animals! I have grown to enjoy dogs mostly. I’ve had a pet dog for a great amount of my life as well as other animals like rabbits, fish and snakes! Size or age doesn't matter, they are all fun. I love their energy and seeing how they interact with loved ones. I frequently help out family members with their dogs which includes bathing, walking, picking up their food and medicine. Taking trips or “car rides” are also a fav’ we partake in. Dogs are truly a pleasure to have and I would love the opportunity to provide care to your fur baby! I have open availability now and have one kiddo! We are up pretty early for school/sports and events so I am pretty flexible with boarding/scheduling! I have a fenced in backyard with lots of space to run and play. I also have a finished basement for those that are potty trained.
About: I have fostered over 70 animals the past four alyears. Puppies, adult dogs kittens and cats. Also bunnies and guinea pigs! I have tons of experience with house training and crate training puppies. I volunteer at our local animal shelter weekly and have developed a strong bond with the rescue community. I also have experience administering medication. During the past two years I have met many animals , all with a different type of personality. I have been able to adapt and learn how to handle each unique personality. My time as a foster and shelter volunteer has really showed me what my true passion is! My schedule is very flexible and I'm usually able to accommodate last minute requests. Unless I have another client , my schedule is almost always open. I volunteer at the shelters on Tuesday mornings but I can always rearrange my volunteer days. My home is fenced in and I have crates for my own dogs, also extra crates for your dogs. My dogs have multiple play styles so I can adapt to just about any personality. I only ask that if your dogs are boarding in my home they are animal and kid friendly. If you're nervous about your dogs being around dogs you don't know, I understand. I can easily rotate the dogs time so they never even have to interact, as I have baby gates to keep them separated. I have a big fenced in yard so your dog will get plenty of play time. If you want boarding in your home I can do that too. I can provide plenty of love and play for them. Whatever you are comfortable with in your home just let me know! I also always will send tons of pictures. If you have puppies I can absolutely help with potty and also crate training if they aren't crate trained yet.
“Kayla and her partner were wonderful with our dachshund. We needed doggie daycare while attending an event. Kayla was excellent to work with and took great care of our little baby. Highly recommend.”
About: I love dogs and usually bond quickly. I have experience with special diet dogs, elderly dogs, etc. I am like a dog chaplain. I will care for your dog (and home if needed) as I do my own. I work in an industry that requires back ground checks. I have cared for since childhood: German Shepherds, Rabbits, Chows, Rottweiler, Labs, Shih Tzu, Schnauzers, Terriers, rabbits, fish, etc. I'm available at various times with notice. If I am requested for in home care I will care for your home as my own. I look forward to supporting you in any way that I can. Blessings. I’m home all day a few days per week. However, I can do drop ins and house sitting daily. Morning, Afternoon and Evening walks are provided when in boarding or daycare. Weekend stays include park time and long walks. I have a sweet smaller dog whom is very loving and after getting to know your dog will treat them like a sibbling. It is important that your dog be okay with being crated only at night or if I need to run a close errand. Otherwise dogs welcome on couch etc.
About: Hi there! I’m Andrew—a lifelong animal lover with a big heart and an even bigger soft spot for furry friends. Whether it’s going on walks, giving belly rubs, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m dependable, patient, and always treat every animal like family. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved pet, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated with pics and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether you have a playful pup, a chill senior, or a shy kitty—I’d be honored to care for them like they’re my own. Let’s connect—I’d love to meet you and your furry companion! Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day. I build in time for morning and evening walks, play sessions, feeding routines, and any special care your pet may need. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended sitting, I’m able to adapt my routine to fit your pet’s needs and keep them comfortable, happy, and loved. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do everything I can to maintain their normal routine and create a stress-free environment. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or bedtime routines—and I take the time to learn your pet’s personality, preferences, and quirks. I always treat your home with respect, keep things clean, and make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you're away. If I’m providing care in my own home (depending on the service), I offer a calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I make sure pets are never left alone for long periods, and I keep a close eye on their behavior, comfort, and health throughout their stay. In both settings, communication is key—I’ll keep you updated with regular messages, photos, and videos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“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!”

About: I love the dedication and unconditional love that dogs provide their human companions. I will admit that personally I have cats, and they just don't do that all the time :) I have dog-sat for friends over several years providing feedings, walks, and playtime to Malteses to German Shepards. I love getting to know each dog and treating them as if they were my own, which means they are usually going to be pretty pampered. If your dog needs specialized care, I would be willing to learn. I don't really know what specialized care entails for a dog, but feel free to message me and we can discuss. I am a high school teacher so my availability is afternoon/evenings and weekends during the school year but wide open once it is the summertime. My cats are not used to dogs, so caring for dogs in my home would mean they would be spending time outside. However taking care of dogs in their home allows them to be comfortable, have rub my belly sessions (if that's what they like), and take walks in the area that they are most comfortable.
About: Home away from home care for your pet when you are out of town or just need a staycation. Plenty of room to play indoors and outdoors in our fenced in backyard. Flexible drop off and pickup hours. Lots of hugs and love to make your four legged child feel like he or she is at home while you are away. Keep your pet on their normal schedule. Personalized care for your pet. Check in at any time to see how your pet is doing and receive daily text and video updates of your pet. I would love to host your pet in our home or drop in to your home to care for your pet. Please do not hesitate to text or email me with questions on pet boarding and sitting options that I provide. My weekly schedule is flexible, so I am able to give your pet much time and attention during the week and on weekends when they stay in my home. My partner, who also has over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, works with me to care for your pet. We alternate times during the day to care for your pet so that he/she has full time care and each of us has time to tend to other duties. We ensure that dogs and puppies in our home are supervised at all times. We allow each adult pet the space to roam freely and close off any rooms or areas we want restricted. With puppies, we restrict them to the room where we are as we like to closely monitor the babies. If we have multiple dogs/puppies in the home during your pets visit, feeding and potty breaks are done separately. We may crate or restrict a pets access to roam if we are receiving another guest pet or person 🙂 or if we have to run out of the home to run an errand. We try and follow your indicated pets schedule as closely as possible. You can assured that your pet will receive lots of love and attention while in our home.
“I could tell from the pictures that my Aussie, who can be a little nervous and tentative with new people, was comfortable and happy with Eric. I recommend his services 100%!”

About: I am a responsible mom of kids and animals. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats. From a young age, I have had many pets, worked in a vet office and volunteered at an animal shelter. We have fostered many dogs and cats. I love animals, and I will love your animals as if they were my own. I can give medication, walk them or even take them to dog parks. We take our dogs camping, hiking, and kayaking and they love it. I am a homeschool mom of teenagers. This means I am flexible on my time and availability. We are home a lot, so your pets are not left alone long. I have a fenced-in yard, and I can attend to almost anything your pets would need or the client would like me to do to care for their pet.
About: I've been caring for animals for nearly 10 years- cats, guinea pigs, dogs, and other exotics, I've cared for it all! I am also a proud cat mom to 2 cheeky furballs! I work full time 8:30-4:30 Monday through Friday, and my weekends are usually very if not completely free! I typically go on an hour walk every day during the evening (weather permitting) to end my day! When caring for a client's pet I try to keep things simple and stick to whatever their routine is to ensure the furbabes are comfortable and feel safe with a new face popping in and taking care of them.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have a cat and a 3 year old pit/cattle dog mix. I have owned multiple dogs over the years, including reactive dogs, which gave me hands on experience with different personalities, behaviors, and needs. I worked closely with a professional trainer in the past and gained a lot of confidence in handling and understanding dogs of all kinds. Because my entire family has dogs, I’m constantly around animals and genuinely love spending time caring for them. I understand that every pet is different and that some are energetic and social, while others need patience, structure, and a calm approach. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or just having a comforting presence around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away! I currently work full time Monday-Friday from 7-4, however I am fully remote and my job is relatively flexible. Working from home makes life easy as I can take time on my lunch break to do a quick walk or drop in with your fur babies. I’m also available before 7am and after 4pm on weekdays and available on the weekends. I do get bank holidays off and a decent amount of PTO which allows even more flexibility 🙂 While I’d love to welcome every pet into my home, I have a reactive dog of my own, so I currently only offer care in clients’ homes through drop ins, walks, and house sitting. The safety and comfort of your pets and mine will always come first 💕
About: I have always loved animals and aspired to be a veterinarian. I will genuinely care for your dogs and treat them as if they were my own. I am a full time school psychologist with a husband and two young children. I will be available to care for pets on weekends and evenings. If close enough to my work, I can let dogs out on my lunch break. I have a fenced yard with two dogs. A lab and golden retriever mix and a bichon/maltese. I also have two cats. We have structured feeding and time outside for the dogs. The cats are indoor and regularly have food out and balance their feeding over time. I can also do basic grooming.
About: I've had pets all my life and have been pet sitting since I was 12. I have experience walking, bathing, feeding, and cleaning up after various pets. I'll be in college this upcoming semester and only taking 4 courses so I'll have time to give plenty of love and attention to your pets! I have a cat named Donut. I clean his litter box every couple of days, make sure he has plenty of dry food and water, and feed him wet food 4 to 5 times a day because he is old and hungry.
About: I have a little over 3 years of experience caring for my friends and family’s dogs. They have entrusted me in walking their furbabies when they are unable to, feed and bathe them while they are away, and watch them for extended periods of time. I am currently available Monday-Friday after 4 pm to walk your dogs, or check in on them and feed them if you are away. Weekends I have an open Availability. And for extended stays I am available whenever. I do have a full time job however, I work 10 mins up the road and can check in on the dogs while on break. I live in a gated community and we have plenty of outdoor space to walk your dogs or let them out for some freedom. I do have a 7 yr old son who loves to play and entertain dogs.& I have a cage available if need be however they are free to roam the house.
About: I am open and able to care for many different pets with a variety of unique needs. Old or young they will all receive the proper care they deserve and be loved as my own I am free anytime all you have to do is ask. I have a very flexible schedule and am able to adapt to what is necessary I have a fenced in yard and a great area to take walks in. There is a park closeby to my house and it's overall just a great and safe environment.
About: My family has had dogs since before I was born! I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and know how to take care of fur babies of all ages :) Almost four years ago I adopted my first cat. Fast forward to today, I am now a mother of two orange special needs kitties. They are my world 🌎 ❤️🐾 I currently work part time and go to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On school days, class starts at 9 and I will have an hour and a half between classes to let a pet out to go to the bathroom, feed them, or give them medication. Then I have another class from 1-3. After that, I will be totally free to assist any pets. I also work part time 3-4 days when I do not have school. These are usually 6-8 hour shifts, but I can adjust feedings/walking/medication administration around these times. And when in doubt, I have several well regarded Rover friends that are willing to help out on my longer shifts, with client approval. :-) I have space to keep a crate for overnight visits and live in an apartment complex with some green space to walk and explore. I am also only a few minutes away from five different parks, so lots of options to check out. I have two cats that are dog friendly, but can be separated if the dog is not cat friendly !
About: While I may not have had a dog of my own, my passion for dogs is unparalleled(I have kitties). Throughout the years, I have eagerly assisted friends and family with their canine companions, providing love, care, and attention to their furry friends. These experiences have instilled in me a deep sense of responsibility and reliability when it comes to caring for animals. What sets me apart is my quick learning ability and adaptability. I take the time to understand the unique needs and personalities of each dog I encounter, ensuring they receive the best care possible during walks and playtime. Additionally, my excellent communication skills with both the dogs/cats and their owners allow me to build a strong bond and provide peace of mind to the pet parents. Although I haven’t undergone formal training, my hands-on experience has taught me invaluable safety and handling skills. I’m committed to keeping the dogs/cats in my care happy, healthy, and safe at all times. I currently work part time and have pretty open availability and free time in between. Available on all holidays, just shoot me a message and we can work around it! Make sure to follow owners instructions, ensure dog stays properly handled when going in or out, clean up after pet and myself, keep in contact with owners and send updates/photos, have a plan for any emergencies.
About: I have owned dogs/cats since I was a very small child and have cared for them like they were my siblings/children every time. I currently have an 11yo cat, Diesel, that is my heart and joy! My long term bubbie was a Rottweiler/husky mix that was with my family for 14 amazing years, and we have cared for countless foster dogs since then. In addition I care for friends/coworkers/others dogs regularly and get glowing reviews the dogs are relaxed and at peace when the owner returns home vs experiencing separation anxiety. I am a teacher, my summers are free giving me the availability to be attentive to your furry loved ones during this time while you vacation! I am very affectionate with my cat and ensure all his needs are met the moment he makes me aware of them. Same for my clients’ pets, the slightest whimper or upset sound I will tend to them and figure out what has disturbed them until we’re able to settle back into a comfortable space in the home. This is usually when I do overnight stays and the pets get anxious.
About: Hi! I’m Anna, a dependable and attentive dog sitter offering walks, drop-in visits, and in-home pet care. If you’re looking for someone reliable and caring to treat your dog like family, I’d love to help. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. I focus on calm, consistent care that keeps your dog comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I provide careful attention to feeding, walks, and instructions, and make sure pets get both exercise and companionship while you’re away. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your home and pet. I treat every dog with respect and genuine care, and I’m committed to a high-quality, reliable experience for both pets and owners. I have a flexible weekday schedule and am fully available during the day on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I structure my week around pet care, which allows me to provide consistent walks, drop-ins, and reliable attention without rushing. This helps me maintain a calm, dependable routine for each pet I care for. Safety, trust, and consistency are my top priorities when caring for pets in their home environment. I carefully follow all care instructions, maintain routines, and ensure pets are always secure during walks, feedings, and drop-in visits. I treat every home with respect and care, and I communicate regularly with updates so owners feel informed and at ease. My goal is to create a calm, reliable environment where pets feel safe and well cared for.
“My dog chewed up some food left in the Pantry as we are trying to leave him out of the cage more.. she cleaned everything up!! She is awesome. My dog is skittish at first and she was very gentle and slow with him until he warmed up. Thank you again!”
About: I have had many different kinds of dogs since I was a child and have grown to love them ! I have been working at a dog daycare part time since January and have learned a lot about managing and caring for dogs. I work part time and am in college right now but am available the weekdays after 3 and anytime on Friday. Saturdays and Sundays I have work but can still squeeze in time. I care for dogs in others home the same I do in mine.. with love and compassion. I feed, take them out, and give them plenty of attention !
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with pets and even adopted my own dog in college. I bring years of hands-on experience and genuine care to every pet I look after. I am currently available any day of the week, and I’m more than happy to connect and set up a time that works best for your dog’s routine, comfort, and care. I treat every pet like my own. I love taking the time to get to know each animal, understand their personality, and learn what activities they enjoy the most.
About: I’ve had dogs since I can remember. I’ve just recently introduced a cat into our dog family and it’s been such a pleasure caring for my babies. I would love to do the same for someone else! I am available at the moment to work any day weekday and weekend, I currently have no restrictions to when I can not do it. I enjoy doing enrichment activities with the animals and playing with them to stimulate their mind. I also like to cuddle with my dogs whenever they want chill time.

“Once again Paisley’s second parents came through for us! Paisley has some health issues and not only did they give her all the meds (which were a bit complicated) they took daily walks. I’m sure she will be expecting those now that she’s home! 😂 Michael continued to send us pictures to let us know she was okay. She misses them I’m sure!”
“Misty was quick to respond with the initial setup. While she had our dog, she would send daily updates and pictures. Pick up and drop off was easy. Most importantly, our pet was happy!”
“Tasha and Joseph were life savers for a last minute first time booking and clearly incredible hosts for my pup Rumi. He got comfortable with them very quickly which says a lot about their understanding of dog behavior and ability to comfort a pup with separation anxiety. Rumi got lots of play and was very tired when he got home. I really appreciate y’all!”
“Susan is so thoughtful and attentive. It was our first time leaving our boys with her and she did a great job with her communication with us and care of our pugs. We will use her again!”
“Great communication and very friendly! When we picked up and dropped off our pup their house was very clean. Our pup was super excited to see us when we picked her up but you could tell she was very comfortable with Jenna and her husband! They treated her like their own! Would recommend and would use her again!”
“Rachel & Nicholas were great with Moonie! They made him feel right at home, and I know he had a lot of fun playing with their dogs. They even gave him a bath when he got dirty. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for great care for their pup.”
“Melissa and her family were the most gracious hosts for our fur baby, Ozzie. He felt right at home and all the pictures of him playing, lounging, and enjoying treats was all the proof we needed that we made the best choice with Melissa. We will absolutely rebook the next time we have an out of town trip.”
“Sandy did a great job with my Bonnie! I had to contact Sandy last minute during a trip to NC because the hotel I was staying in did not allow pets. Bonnie left with extra treats and toys and did not want to leave when I picked her up. I will use Sandy again if I ever travel through Cincinnati!”
“Our golden retriever Chelsea had a great time with Kanika and Jan! We really appreciated the meet and greet prior, frequent photo updates, flexibility in our timing with our travel, and the great effort put forth in considering Chelsea's needs and preferences. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Picky pet owner here, and I could not be happier. Blue got to play in a big fenced in yard with Colleens two sweet dogs. Constant care, love and cuddles. Blue would be very happy to go back.”
“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received! Patrice was attentive, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. They kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog was relaxed, happy, and clearly well taken care of when I returned. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Jennifer was a life saver! At last minute my boarding plans changed, and she was able to help out. She gave excellent care to Katey, and sent pics and daily updates. Katey loved being there! Five plus star ratings!”

“Chrissy is absolutely amazing! I was a nervous wreck leaving my two dogs with someone I didn’t know but she made me and them feel so comfortable and right at home. She sent pictures of the dogs throughout the weekend and was just wonderful overall! I would absolutely leave my dogs with her and her family again!”
“Katie was a perfect sitter for Nash! She gave him the attention and love he wanted, a great house to feel comfortable in and he almost didn’t want to leave!”
“She was an amazing sitter! She took WONDERFUL care of my Google and I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. She even threw him a birthday party! She took him on regular walks and even went to the dog park. She sent me plenty of pictures and videos. She gave him tons of treats and hugs and kisses! I will definitely board with Rodriguez again!! Thank you so much!! 💗💗”
“Luna had a great time with Christina. Receiving the photos of Luna with a smile on her face was so reassuring to us while we were away on vacation. Luna had a wonderful time with Christina's children and their dog Rylee. Christina did a wonderful job. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Luna. I can tell she misses your family.”
