“Kimberely was AMAZING with our energetic pup Mabel. She sent daily updates and videos. Mabel had a great time in her fenced in back yard. We’d love to use her again in the future!”
“Ronald and his family could not have been better sitters for our 2 labs. They were so thoughtful and provided a loving home for our pups while we were away. I will definitely continue to book Ronald on future trips.”
“Annie comes back so very happy and calm and she is so well taken care of! She loved it at her home away from home! Thanks for being so loving and kind and for the pictures! We had a great time scrapbooking knowing Annie was in good hands.”
“Nancy has been great with ou senior dog. She makes sure he feels comfortable and safe. Nancy takes him potty often especially because he's a senior dog. She is super flexible and has great communication. Both of her pupps do a great job with Domi as well. We will continue using her as long as she keeps Rovering.”
“Katie and her family took such good care of our pup! The videos and photos they sent made me confident that I had picked the right person to care for our baby! Would 100% recommend to anyone!”
“Tricia is the best! Our dog was having some bladder issues we didn’t know about and she was very patient and caring for him. We have used her a few times and will keep going back.”
“Paige, Stephen and family cared for our dog, Duncan, so well! He became part of their family while we were gone and I could tell that Duncan was thriving while with them. He especially loved playing with their kids which helped keep his sense of normalcy compared to our home! Would definitely recommend this family to anyone :)”
“Repeat customer :-) My dog loves it at Lauren & Wynn's. They're so good to him and very kindly let him take over their bed and make himself at home. Always have peace of mind when I need to leave him there for trips knowing he has a safe and comfortable place to be that he enjoys”
“Michelle was an excellent dog sitter. We knew Cookie was in safe hands while we enjoyed some Fall camping. When I got back into cell phone service on Sunday I was greeted with dozens of pictures of Cookie having fun and going for walks. He got a bath as well, and smells lovely. :-)”
“Our little guy seemed happy at Stephanie's house! The family was very nice, and their house is tucked in a cul-de-sac away from busy roads. We got updates and/or pictures most days, and Stephanie was always timely in her responses to any messages I sent her. We plan to use her again!”
About: What sets us apart is the genuine care and experience we bring to every dog we welcome into our home. My husband and I both grew up with dogs, and before having our daughter, we fostered dogs, which gave us experience with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and needs. We currently have a friendly 2-year-old lab mix, so we’re very familiar with maintaining routines, exercise needs, and positive reinforcement. One of our biggest strengths is working with anxious or shy dogs—we’re patient, attentive, and take the time to build trust at each dog’s pace so they feel safe and comfortable. We treat every dog like part of our family and strive to create a calm, loving environment where they can relax and be themselves. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work from home Monday–Friday. Your dog will have consistent companionship throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long periods. During the day, dogs are free to relax, play, and interact with our friendly 2-year-old lab mix. We also incorporate daily walks and outdoor playtime (weather permitting), along with plenty of attention, affection, and structured routine. Because I’m home, I’m able to closely monitor each dog’s needs and adjust care to ensure they feel comfortable, engaged, and right at home. Then when my husband and daughter are not in work or school they will help care for your dogs and play with them. In our home, we strive to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every dog in our care. We have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play, explore, and get plenty of exercise in a secure space. Inside, dogs are treated like part of the family—free to relax, play, and enjoy a calm, structured routine. We can accommodate crate training if your dog is used to it or needs a safe space while we’re briefly away from home. We pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s extra playtime, a quieter environment, or a consistent routine, so they feel secure and at home during their stay.
“Katie did such a great job watching Reggie while my husband and I were out of town for a few days! We received plenty of updates and could tell he was well taken care of when we picked him up. Will definitely be using Katie again!”
“Tasha and Joe took great care of my little guy! He’s nervous around new people, but in every photo they sent, I could tell he was wagging his tail, which told me everything I needed to know. They followed care instructions perfectly and were a pleasure to work with. We’ll definitely be back!”
About: I've grown up with both cats and dogs my whole life of all sizes! As a college student, I'm really missing my pets back home. I'm really looking forward to caring for others pets! As a college student, my availability is very flexible. Afternoons and evenings are the most ideal for me, however, I can still work in morning hours occasionally! Full availability offered during the weekends. Please let me know your pets preferences and I'll easily be able to accommodate for them🫶. I'm very happy to take your pet on walks or simply keep them company while you're away
“Honestly if I could rate her 10 stars I would. Avery is incredible. Not only did I receive photos and texts everyday, Dodo was so happy when I picked her up! I have never had to leave her with anyone else who wasn’t a family member and was so nervous to try rover. But after meeting Avery I felt so comfortable leaving Dodo with her and will 1000% use her every time now for dog sitting while we are gone.. we love her so much. If you are hesitant at all- don’t be. The reviews are accurate and 100% honest. We couldn’t have picked a better family to care for our dog. Thanks so much for everything Avery!”
“Ainura was absolutely amazing! I had to find a sitter for my new puppy on very short notice and she responded super fast and accepted the job. It was my first time using the Rover app and I’m so grateful it worked out so well. She took incredible care of little Khaleesi and sent loads of photos showing her playing and having a great time for the week. I’m definitely reaching out to Ainura next time I need a sitter :)”
“Erin and her family were fabulous with Peggy! Peggy enjoyed walks, snuggles, car rides and even a little field trip. We got lots of photos and updates that made us feel so reassured that our sweet pup was getting the very best care. We can’t wait for her to return!”

“Sara was super responsive to the booking request and was able to meet our cats beforehand. Sara was very responsible meeting our cats needs while we were out, she was on time, and provided pictures and updates! The cats loved her!”
“Christine did a great job of caring for our two cats while we were away for two weeks. She was always on time, and left reports and photographs of each visit. I highly recommend Christine as a cat sitter.”
“After our first round with Lauren and Wynn, it was the first time in years our elder cat didn’t have a UTI after a sitter. Pictures always show how much our cats enjoy this duo but us not coming home to a sick cat really tells the story. Happy to have this duo caring for our kitties!”
About: Hi there! I am a Veterinary Assistant looking to help take care of your babies! I’ve been a Veterinary Assistant for 6 years and during that time I have been taking care of previous clients cats and dogs. I also had a cat growing up and have one of my own! I do require a meeting prior to coming by while you’re away. I will always care for your kitties like they are my own. I am also able to medicate your kitties if it is necessary. I’d love to meet and take care of your fur babies!
“Katie was great with our two cats while we were away on vacation. I was worried about leaving them alone, since both are young and one is particularly sensitive to strangers and changes of routine. They both loved Katie! Katie took the time to not only feed and empty the litter box, but also to spoil with treats and play. We loved getting the daily postcard with photos. We will definitely hire Katie again!”
“Margo took great care of my crazy Pup! She was very communicative and made sure he was thoroughly entertained and comfortable during her visits, which made me feel so at ease while I was away. The adorable pictures she sent were also a huge plus ☺️ She is definitely my go-to sitter from now on!!”
“Returned from our trip to a happy, well fed cat. We appreciate all the time Stephanie spent with our kitty, and that we were able to relax while out of town, knowing that he was in good hands. Thank you Stephanie.”
“Corey was great. She kept us informed about our kitten/cat while we were away over Thanksgiving, and everything was in great shape when we got home. We have a Houdini cat who can scoot out of the door quicker than anything, but she outsmarted him, saving him from coyotes who regularly dine on little cats in our neighborhood.”
“Debra was attentive, leaving great notes and photos each day so that I would be updated and kept in the loop. I was also lucky that she was able to work in my last minute job and offered to come by for a very last minute meet and greet which was so very appreciated! I would highly recommend!”
“Kristina was wonderful and responded to my booking request quickly. This was my first experience with Rover and I wasn’t sure what to expect and a little nervous about having a new person in my home and caring for my fur babies. She made me feel so comfortable and she is super friendly and great with my kitties. I loved all the pictures and videos from her drop in visits. It was nice to leave out of town and know that the kitties were being cared for by someone who loves animals. Thanks Kristina. I will definitely be booking again for my next out of town trip.”

About: We have watched many pets over the years and are finally bringing our love to the masses. :) We truly love all animals (every where we have lived animals indoor/outdoor just flock to us it seems ha). We give them the care they deserve and treat every last one as if it were our own personal pet. We have also had several pets through the years that needed medical attention daily (generally giving medication) and understand the importance of maintaining medicine/medical care in a very timely manner. If you are looking for the best care for your pet, look no further this family of pet lovers is where its at. We took a little time off to focus on some other things but we are back at it and ready to love and care for your pet better than anyone on this app 😀♥️ (we might be biased). I work from home full time so I am here almost 24 hrs/day to care for your lovely pet. On the weekends we come and go for short periods of time but generally we are home 80% of the weekend at least. We welcome long and short term pet stays, we just love pets. I have kids who "LOVE" to entertain/give attention to pets and try to teach them new tricks. I have several nearby dog parks, and 1 dog of my own. I have a Black Lab/Great Dane mix about 5 yrs old. He loves having other pets around after he get his sniffs in :)
“This will be the third week in a row that my Roxxie will be attending doggy day care with her two new dog friends in Nancy’s home. It’s so amazing that I can go to work and not have to worry at all if my dogs being well cared for. Nancy is the best!”
“Jihting was excellent. Met her & family, including Cupcake, beforehand & she was very understanding of our needs, ensured we knew who would be around, that there would be water, playtime, etc. Would recommend & will use again for Ollie's daycare needs.”
About: Hi! I’m Margo — a lifelong animal lover who’s been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. I grew up with two poodles and two labradors, and I’ve learned how to care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently have a cat and even a donkey, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of animals — big, small, furry, or hooved! Friends and family have always relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets when they’re away. I’m responsible, patient, and love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for like my own. I’m a lifelong animal lover and part-time social worker who often works from home. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets the time, care, and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in their home, I treat the space with the same respect I would want for my own. I follow all instructions carefully, keep things tidy, and make sure pets feel safe and loved. I take time to earn their trust with gentle attention, routine, and comfort.
“Lainey had so much fun playing with Willow and Piper! She was exhausted when she came home from her doggy day care day (goal accomplished;) Heather is wonderful and everything that you could ask for in a doggy sitter! She even brushed Lainey with her furminator! Thank you!”
“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!”
“Ryan was wonderful with my two dachshunds. Boarded them during the day while we had workers installing new carpet. Sent pics and videos so I had no worries. They came home tired and happy. Would hire Ryan again.”
“Susan is such a lover of animals! She offered to meet us at our appointment this morning to sav3 me time! Very thoughtful. Murphy is always excited to see Susan and play with his friends. I am always at ease when Murphy is in Susans care!”
About: I am a huge animal lover! I currently have an 12 year old Goldendoodle named Stella. I have had dogs my whole life and can’t imagine ever being without one! I love taking Stella to dog parks, going for walks, or hanging out around town. I would love to do the same with any dog that I would be watching! Stella also loves to be around other dogs and has never been aggressive in any way. I would be happy to accommodate any special needs your fur baby may have! I do have my 3 year old son and 5 month old daughter in the home as well, so the pups will need to be kid friendly! We now live in the Eastgate area, so if you have been a previous client, the address has changed! I am happy to answer any questions you may have! I am currently working from home 2 days a week and in office three days. I am completely free on weekends as well and most holidays. I have a fully fenced in yard and lots of fun toys! Stella loves to play with other dogs. She is 12, but still has her puppy spirit!
“Jonathan was super responsive and willing to do a meet and greet with us. Our dog can be nervous around bigger dogs, so this was really helpful. We were able to do a short 3-hour daycare soon after and really appreciated all of the updates that Jonathan shared throughout Penny's visit. Thanks, Jonathan!”
About: Hello! A little bit about me: A student who is crazy about animals and would take care of your lovely friend/son/daughter (haha) as if they were part of my family . I was raised around dogs and cats and when I grow up, I decided that I would want to work for their own good. I was part of an Animal Welfare Organization in my hometown and hosted some homeless dogs and cats and took care of them until we find a new family for them. I'm so grateful for everything I've done for the animals, and if I could, I'd do way more. I live in a house with a big fenced backyard, your pet will have plenty of space to play. I also have a 1 year old very friendly Pomeranian who loves to have play dates ❤️
“Jen & Rob took such great care of my dog for day care weekly. He always came home happy, healthy, and exhausted (thank god, he is a high energy Aussie and needed to expel that energy!). Thank you, Jen & Rob for being a safe place for me to bring my dog!”
“My puppy enjoyed the day playing with Brandon and his friendly pets. Brandon was reliable, responsive, worked well with my puppy’s energy level, and sent me a lot of updates during the day. We will be back.”
About: I’ve been lucky enough to be trusted with baby sitting, house sitting, and pet sitting for the past 10+ years. I pride myself on building honest and positive relationships that last and would be honored to be trusted with your home and/or animals! With a rescue pup of my own, I can promise to provide the same unconditional love and commitment to your sweeties, as I do my own. I am an educator who works part time over the summers! I also only live about 6 minutes from my part time job which gives me the opportunity to have an extremely open and flexible schedule! I am extremely observant and pay attention to detail. As an educator, it is my job to be able to multitask while also fostering emotional and comfort needs. I make sure to do everything to the fullest including following your needs and anticipating what your loved one may want/need next!
About: Aloha! I want to help you and your family member (dog/pet) feel less stressed about being away from each other! I noticed that every time I used a kennel service for our fur baby, our dog would get so scared, stress shed, nervous/anxiety, she would not eat, different times she caught kennel cough (which meant more vet bills), and our dog was definitely unhappy with the small kennel space surrounded by other upset loud barking pups/dogs/animals! I believe I can help your dog/pet feel loved, safe, comfortable, fed, clean, exercised, washed (optional), fun/waggy tails, like family, when you are away. My name is Michelle. I love animals! We have a small dog, bunny and fish! I used to volunteer at SPCA and Paw-sitive (Non profit, walk, groom, and feed stray dogs until they got adopted). I have housesit/housesat and dogsit/catsit/ bird and turtles-sat for friends and was suggested to extend my love on ROVER! (Side note: My husband goes to work during the day.I recently changed our schedule to homeschooling. My 2 kids are used to me caring, playing, and walking other dogs. They loves animals as well. We moved here to Milford, Cincinnati from Hawaii. Ive taught them, and we all have experience caring for animals, see pictures). I have went out of the way to teach , show and guide my children to be gentle, slow approaching/no sudden movements, no chasing, be responsible, ask before pet, be aware and careful around animals. I want to help other families feel comfortable and confident to leave their pet with me. We have our Covid shots and boosters. I am home everyday (except 3-4hours out of the house now and then for groceries or friends farm, or kids play dates). I keep my distance from crowds, we sanitize, and wash our hands frequently. I clean the house and wipe everything all the time. We got a new Hoover carpet wash, and our dog is up to date with shots! Your pet is safe and will be treated like royalty, pampered, loved like our pup/family! I have owned dogs most my life (had my first pup with the responsibilities at 6 years old, and owned/fostered animals for 33 years after) taking care of puppies, adults and senior dogs (a pit bull, a Pekingese, Shih Tzu , then fostered a German Shepard, a Poodle, a black pup Lab), Taken cared of a Golden Retriever, a Pitbull, bulldogs, Soft- wheat Terriers, birds, hamsters, turtles, a class pet guinea pig, and cared for friends cats too (see photos). Yes, I have a small dog but our house is big enough to have another dog/cat/pet around (I can gate, and keep my dog separate if need). Your pet will be taken out for a run or walk at least 4x a day (usually 4-8 times with pictures)! Schedule: I take your/our dog out first thing in the morning, lunch, then around 3-4pm around/after dinner time , and right before bedtime too ( update you with photos)! I will spend time with your dog/pet. I will sit with, read to, massage, comb, feed and pet (constantly check on, if they don’t want to be disturbed)! Even while I read to my child, homeschool or while we watch tv at night. I have taught my children not jump around,not rush, nor scare animals. And my dog will be gated, separated, away from your dog/pet when we are out and when requested. I left my 911 emergency call taking position to be a stay at home mother. I would love to care for, walk, play, cuddle with your dog and take your dog to the park with us too ! *** ONLY DOGS UNDER 35lbs at this time. Thank you*** I have a lot of room, space, toys, pillows, blankets for your pup/dog/pet (separated away from our dog), open concept spacious house, and animal-friendly neighborhood. I live in a cul-de-sac with extremely caring sweet neighbors that know me/us. Several families around us have animals of their own and I know most dogs have been trained or gone thru training as well as ours. I will text or email you pictures and FaceTime your dog/pet too if you like. Your dog/pet is unique and special to you so I will do my best to help. I will keep your dog/pet on a leash every time we go outside, so they don't go missing or let other dogs bother them. (Off leash free to run roam inside the house and I have a mini tread mill if outside walks and inside play is not enough). Our dog is up to date with all shots, vet visits, and takes medication for tick/flee, heart worms. We give our dog a shower once every other week and when she gets muddy. I can help clean your dog/pet too, let us know!

About: I've cared for dogs, cats, fish, and small animals for 20 years. I am also a reptile owner and comfortable caring for some reptiles and amphibians. I am currently available full time for pet care, regarding pet sitting or daily walks. I am also able to care for and feed some reptiles and most amphibians.

I highly recommend if you want someone caring and trustworthy to take care of your fur babies!”

About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life. I grew up with three cats that are now senior kitties and need a bit more care. I’ve been the go to pet sitter for my friends and family for years. In addition I also worked at a dog boarding and daycare for a few months so I’ve met and dealt with many dogs with different energy and social levels. I learned I prefer taking care of animals more one on one, or in a smaller setting. This way I can ensure your pets get everything they need and never feel neglected. My work schedule is as follows: Monday~ 4:30pm-10pm Wednesday~ 1:45pm-9:30pm Friday& Saturday~ 10:15am-4pm or 2:15pm-10:30pm Sunday~ 9:15am-4pm or 2:15pm-8:30pm. My weekend schedule varies from morning to night and i get my schedule one week in advance. I have Tuesdays and Thursdays completely free. I am also happy to move my schedule around if needed as long as i have a 15 days notice. :) I am enthusiastic about caring for animals. I will make sure your animals are well loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a drop in visit or a walk while you’re away I will ensure your pets are safe, happy and comfortable when they’re with me. I’m available for walks, drop in visits or overnight stays.
“Dave is fabulous! He's a personable guy, who was wonderful to my dog. And, he showed up on time, every time, regardless of the weather. I am very pleased that Rover.com connected us and I truly appreciated Dave's help in my time of need. I would most definitely engage Dave's services again and I would highly recommend him to others needing help with their companion animals.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats, and now I have a dog who’s truly part of my family. Since I was 10 years old, I’ve also been the go-to pet sitter for my neighbors whenever they go out of town, making sure their dogs are walked, fed, and, most importantly, loved while they’re away. Being around animals has always brought me so much joy, and I take pride in treating every pet like they’re my own, giving them the care, comfort, and attention they deserve. I will be nannying over the summer on some Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays until around 4 pm so on the days that I am nannying I will be free any time after 4. But on other days I will be free all day long. Whether it’s taking your dog for a walk, letting them out for a potty break, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I’d be happy to help keep them happy while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I treat them like part of my own family. I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and happy by sticking to their usual routine, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, or just some extra snuggles. I know how important it is for pets to feel secure in their own space, so I always give them plenty of love and attention while keeping your home just the way you left it.
About: I have taken care of dogs on and off all my life different sizes, ages, and personalities. I provide walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and lots of attention to help pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I understand the importance of following each pet’s routine and keeping owners updated. My goal is to give every pet the same care, patience, and affection that I would give my own. I work part time as well as side jobs as I am home from college for the summer. Lots of free time during the day. In clients’ homes, I respect their space while ensuring pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care. My goal is to help pets feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while their owners are away.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was three years old. Our household has once consisted of four dogs at once and I loved it. I’ve taken care of dogs as young as eight months to 14 years old. My experience consists of grooming, potty training, basic training, feeding & water, medication management, and even changing diapers in later stages of life. I’ve also taken care of neighbors pets, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and even hedgehogs. I have experience of checking in on the dogs and feeding them throughout the day to staying at the house for hours to provide exercise and company for their furry friend. I also have over a year of volunteer experience at local dog shelters. I am a graduate student so I have open availability throughout the week. The longest I’m gone one day per week is four hours. I do work from home on Monday’s for two hours but then I am free to spend time with my furry friends. I attend classes twice a week, Monday’s I am gone for 3 hours and Tuesday’s I am gone for 7 hours. The rest of the week I am not home for 0-3 hours. This means your furry friend will not be left alone for more than 4 hours any day except Tuesdays. I walk my dogs every 2-4 hours and we enjoy trips to the dog park at my apartment complex. I have two friendly dogs at my apartment that would love to meet your pet. We spend a lot of our time playing or snuggling on the couch. We go for walks around our apartment complex and we take trips to the dog park next to our building. I have a young energetic dog that loves to play and a have an older dog that loves to get the zoomies and then become a couch potato. When I am away, my dogs stay in their crates. For your furry friend, I can use a doggy gate to give them some extra space since they are in a new environment. I can keep them in my kitchen which will give them enough space to walk around and lay in their bed. My dogs takes medicine twice a day so I already have a routine for giving medications to my dogs. I would be happy to walk your furry friends with my dogs or by themselves if that is your preference. We also have plenty of dogs toys ranging from stuffed animals to the Bark Super Chewer toys, if your dog likes to destroy toys, like mine does. I have two beagles so I am used to food driven dogs that only listen if there are treats involved. I also have my garbage secured underneath the cabinets with baby locks on them so no animal can get to it. I also am within 20 minutes of a 24 hours emergency vet if your dog was to ever show any concerning signs.
About: I worked as a Veterinary Assistant for over 20 years and just recently decided to stay home with my kids full time. Pet sitting has always been something I’ve done on the side for family and friends, but now that I have more time available, I’m very excited to be able to love and care for your fur babies just like they were my own! I am currently available for daily walks and 2 potty breaks per day, and of course PLAY TIME! I also offer drop in services if you do not feel your pet needs a walk or additional exercise. I am available for any and all of your pet care needs, and with 20 yrs of previous veterinary experience, I am also comfortable giving both oral medications and injectables for diabetic patients. I love being around all animals because they provide a great sense of calm and familiarity for me. I always treat a client’s pet just as I would my own and they will receive endless love & attention while in my care. I do work part time during the week and have two young boys at home- while we are a very active family, I can usually carve out time even on work days for drop in visits or walks.
About: Hi! I’m Heather — a stay-at-home foster mom, runner, dog lover, and experienced foster/service dog handler based in Batavia, Ohio. After years in corporate recruiting, I’m finally leaning into a life that feels a little more like me — being home with our foster son, spending more time with dogs, being outside, going on walks, and building something slower and more meaningful here in Ohio. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve helped foster and raise more than 50 dogs over the years, including service dogs in training, and I’m also a certified volunteer through the Clermont County Animal Shelter where I walk dogs, take dogs on day trips, and foster here in Ohio. Before moving here, I also helped watch and walk dogs for friends, family, neighbors, and foster connections in Minnesota. I genuinely love all breeds and personalities and really enjoy getting to know what makes each dog unique. Since I’m home most of the day, dogs here get lots of supervision, outdoor time, enrichment, walks, naps, snuggles, and attention throughout the day. We also have a fully fenced yard and two friendly Labs that love having dog friends around. I know how hard it can be leaving your dog with someone else, so I’m big on communication and love sending lots of photo updates throughout their stay so you know they’re happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Dogs receive regular potty breaks, supervised outdoor time, meals on their normal schedule, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Because I’m not away for long workdays, pets spend very little time alone and are part of our family’s daily activities. Safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced yard and two friendly Labrador Retrievers who are used to having other dogs around. I’ve fostered and raised more than 50 dogs, including service dogs in training, and I’m comfortable managing different personalities, routines, crate schedules, medications, and introductions. Meet & greets are required before all new boarding stays so we can make sure everyone is comfortable and it’s a good fit for both your dog and our home. I want every dog to feel safe, successful, and stress-free during their stay.
About: I've had household pets my whole life and began to own and care for my own pets when I was around 10. I've loved and cared for fish, hamsters, and frogs over the years. Currently I care for a leopard gecko, a bearded dragon, and several hermit crabs, in addition to helping my family care for our dog and cat! I have experience pet-sitting guinea pigs and walking neighbors' dogs, and have also volunteered in an animal shelter for cats and small mammals where I cleaned cages, groomed, and socialized the animals. I'm a college student (majoring in bio!) who's home over the summer with a part-time job. My availability is variable but flexible, so please reach out with what dates and times you need a service and I'll respond quickly! When it comes taking care of / walking your pet(s), I'll adhere to your directions / all the information I'll receive from you before beginning the job, and remain communicative with you over the course the service.
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and others dog's for over 10 years now. My family and I have 3 dogs currently and have owned 6 dogs throughout my life of varying sizes. I have dog sat and walked dogs for many of my friends and family over the years with the dogs being in size ranges as big as Great Danes down to little Griffons. In addition I have bathed and brushed dogs for years as well. I of course am also very affectionate towards any dogs, making sure to give them lots of pets and scratches. I will be available between 10 AM-6 PM every weekday unless specified otherwise, though days and hours are mutable and can be subject to change in the future. If I decide to change my hours/days all clients will be notified of the change with ample time to figure something out between us if need be. I will show your dog affection and make sure they have enough food and water as needed. I can also differ my services based off what my client needs. For example during a drop in I can wear out your overly excited puppy, I can clean your litterbox, or I can just lay down and chill with your older dog who just needs some pets and attention. I am easygoing and can work with any client.
About: I spent my entire life around animals. I grew up with an Australian Shepherd, who lived to be 18. Not long after that, my family adopted a puppy, and later two cats. I helped to train the puppy, I introduced the cats, and today they still thrive. Theoughout my childhood/teens, I learned about and cared for many-a-creature. Guinea pigs, rats, a hamster, sugar gliders, a hedgehog, and even a dove! My passion for animals has only grown. When I moved away, it was lonely, and I was quick to adopt a kitten. He's almost 6 now! My pets are family, and yours are too. I will always care for a pet as if it were my own! I am currently working from home as a digital artist & jewelry maker, so I am able to set my own schedule and adapt as needed. I currently don't offer visits/walks on weekends, but this might change. Consider me a perfect pick for your pet while you're away during the work week! Whatever you need! I am able to clean litter boxes, crate dogs, play in the yard with your pups, or inside with toys if that's preferred! I am also familiar with Kongs & other enrichment toys. Or if your buddy just needs a pet and a cuddle, I'm here for that too! I can also administer most oral medications. Please reach out with any questions!!

“Ronald and his family could not have been better sitters for our 2 labs. They were so thoughtful and provided a loving home for our pups while we were away. I will definitely continue to book Ronald on future trips.”
“Annie comes back so very happy and calm and she is so well taken care of! She loved it at her home away from home! Thanks for being so loving and kind and for the pictures! We had a great time scrapbooking knowing Annie was in good hands.”
“Katie and her family took such good care of our pup! The videos and photos they sent made me confident that I had picked the right person to care for our baby! Would 100% recommend to anyone!”
“Tricia is the best! Our dog was having some bladder issues we didn’t know about and she was very patient and caring for him. We have used her a few times and will keep going back.”
“Paige, Stephen and family cared for our dog, Duncan, so well! He became part of their family while we were gone and I could tell that Duncan was thriving while with them. He especially loved playing with their kids which helped keep his sense of normalcy compared to our home! Would definitely recommend this family to anyone :)”
“Repeat customer :-) My dog loves it at Lauren & Wynn's. They're so good to him and very kindly let him take over their bed and make himself at home. Always have peace of mind when I need to leave him there for trips knowing he has a safe and comfortable place to be that he enjoys”
“Our little guy seemed happy at Stephanie's house! The family was very nice, and their house is tucked in a cul-de-sac away from busy roads. We got updates and/or pictures most days, and Stephanie was always timely in her responses to any messages I sent her. We plan to use her again!”
About: What sets us apart is the genuine care and experience we bring to every dog we welcome into our home. My husband and I both grew up with dogs, and before having our daughter, we fostered dogs, which gave us experience with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and needs. We currently have a friendly 2-year-old lab mix, so we’re very familiar with maintaining routines, exercise needs, and positive reinforcement. One of our biggest strengths is working with anxious or shy dogs—we’re patient, attentive, and take the time to build trust at each dog’s pace so they feel safe and comfortable. We treat every dog like part of our family and strive to create a calm, loving environment where they can relax and be themselves. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work from home Monday–Friday. Your dog will have consistent companionship throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long periods. During the day, dogs are free to relax, play, and interact with our friendly 2-year-old lab mix. We also incorporate daily walks and outdoor playtime (weather permitting), along with plenty of attention, affection, and structured routine. Because I’m home, I’m able to closely monitor each dog’s needs and adjust care to ensure they feel comfortable, engaged, and right at home. Then when my husband and daughter are not in work or school they will help care for your dogs and play with them. In our home, we strive to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every dog in our care. We have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play, explore, and get plenty of exercise in a secure space. Inside, dogs are treated like part of the family—free to relax, play, and enjoy a calm, structured routine. We can accommodate crate training if your dog is used to it or needs a safe space while we’re briefly away from home. We pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s extra playtime, a quieter environment, or a consistent routine, so they feel secure and at home during their stay.
“Katie did such a great job watching Reggie while my husband and I were out of town for a few days! We received plenty of updates and could tell he was well taken care of when we picked him up. Will definitely be using Katie again!”
“Tasha and Joe took great care of my little guy! He’s nervous around new people, but in every photo they sent, I could tell he was wagging his tail, which told me everything I needed to know. They followed care instructions perfectly and were a pleasure to work with. We’ll definitely be back!”
“Honestly if I could rate her 10 stars I would. Avery is incredible. Not only did I receive photos and texts everyday, Dodo was so happy when I picked her up! I have never had to leave her with anyone else who wasn’t a family member and was so nervous to try rover. But after meeting Avery I felt so comfortable leaving Dodo with her and will 1000% use her every time now for dog sitting while we are gone.. we love her so much. If you are hesitant at all- don’t be. The reviews are accurate and 100% honest. We couldn’t have picked a better family to care for our dog. Thanks so much for everything Avery!”
“Erin and her family were fabulous with Peggy! Peggy enjoyed walks, snuggles, car rides and even a little field trip. We got lots of photos and updates that made us feel so reassured that our sweet pup was getting the very best care. We can’t wait for her to return!”
“Susan was great! I would definitely use her again in the future. My dog seemed happy to be there the whole time and enjoyed hanging out with her dog. She sent updates and pictures everyday and handled his fear of thunderstorms with no issues. Thanks again!”

“Krista was so accommodating, easy to communicate with and welcoming! My dog stayed for 5 nights and had a great time! Krista provided the sweetest updates with pictures to put my mind at ease :). My dog enjoyed playing with her Stella who was so sweet and helped make my dog feel comfortable. I will definitely use Krista again!”
“This was a very last minute booking and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Rob was extremely flexible with drop off and pickup time. Responded right away to my messages and sent updates. Will absolutely book again the next time we are in Cincinnati. Thank you for a great stay!!”
“Simba had a great first night stay with Kiersten! He got along well with her 2 dogs and came hope nice and tired! Kiersten is super! She asked lots of questions and made sure she knew how Simba was and made sure I was comfortable with what she had planned while Simba was there. She sent pics throughout the day and treated him like her own! Simba will be going back next week for a longer stay as I know he will be happy at Kiersten’s!”
“This was our dog’s first time here, and it was great! He seemed happy and well-taken care of, and we got some cute pics of him while we were away. They were very flexible with drop off and pick up, which was much appreciated!”
