Personalized care for your dog or cat - Laurel
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Laurel
“Kim was amazing with Ollie! She sent photos and updates throughout the stay, so we always knew he was happy and taken care of. It made being away so much easier knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely cares about your pup.”
“Megan and David are amazing! I was so nervous to leave my older girl with her high maintenance health care needs, but I was able to have a relaxing trip knowing she was in good hands. They have a ton of animal care experience and the sweetest dog who was so patient; my girl was able to fit right in with the family. They are quick to respond and gave me daily updates with pictures. I couldn't recommend them enough and hope they are available the next time my pup needs a home away from home.”
“Alycia & Scott were awesome! Montey came back a very happy pup who appeared to have had his own little holiday! Montey can be quite nervous but Alycia made sure he (and I!) felt comfortable before leaving! We are so grateful for the regular updates and Alycia really took the time to read my (rather long!) bio on Montey before we arrived so she was fully clued up! Montey found a great friend in Stella too and we wouldn't hesitate to book with them again!”
“Jessica was absolutely the best pet sitter! She was so sweet and really loves animals! She has the best setup for watching them in her home! She had a nice area for my cat to be separate if he chose to from her pets - but her pets were awesome also! I highly recommend her to everyone! I had been super anxious and worried about leaving my kitty, but my mind was at ease and I could relax on vaca because I knew my kitty was being extremely well taken care of! She also sent daily pics and notes, which was so great! Thank you so much Jessica!”
“Dana and Jason were very sweet and did a great job caring for Onyx! Dana sent lots of photos which we really appreciated. It was our first time leaving Onyx with Dana and Jason and plan on coming back!”
“Great sitter! I came into town visiting family and needed a place for Stacy while we had a busy few days. Rachel was super flexible with drop off times and adjustments that were needed. Definitely would recommend Rachel to other pet parents in the area!”
“This was our dog’s first stay with Paige and her family. I could tell from the daily pictures and updates that he had a wonderful time. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip without guilt or worry knowing he was having so much fun. Having the children to play with was really great! A lovely family, and I can’t thank them enough!”
“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.”
“This was our first time using Rover. We are so pleased with everything. The Stamms are so nice and took great care of Charlie. They sent us updates and pictures during his stay. He was very happy and relaxed when we picked him up! Usually we get the cold shoulder and ignored when we bored him… but not this time! We will definitely be booking with the Stamms in the future. It’s so refreshing and reassuring knowing our pet is safe and taken care of when we are out of town.”
“Rebecca was fantastic. She took great care of my pup Daisy while we went away to Florida. She sent daily updates with photos and made our boxer lab feel right at home. Would definitely use Rebecca again.”
“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.”
“Absolutely phenomenal!!! The dedication and care Amy provides is absolutely amazing. Would recommend to anyone and everyone if I could give more than 5 stars I would.”
“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!”
“Lauren and Wynn were great. We have a 12 1/2 year old lab named Hunter. They gave him so much attention. We received pictures and texts from them every few days. When we returned from our trip we could tell Hunter had received great care.”
“Finn’s second time with Holly and he ran right inside when we dropped him off like it was his own house! He was so excited to be there and hang with Millie which makes us feel so good leaving him. Thanks again, Holly!”
“Marina and Michael took excellent care of our furry baby while we went on a trip and left her for the first time ever. She sent lots of updates with pics and made it so much easier being without our girl for a week, knowing she was in good hands :-)”
“Wow, I was so pleased with Abbie as a sitter for our two 10 month old Winston & Riley. My anxiety level dropped from the pictures she sent, we would look forward to her updates. I could see the content in our boys eyes & the bonus was how her children loved on them during their five day stay. This stay was the first time using Abbie & Rover and will not be the last. I have bragged on Abbie to my friends that I was so pleased, which made my time away so much more enjoyable with no worries. We will be back soon.”

“Alyssa is extremely professional, kind, and cares about your bursaries. Spot gave me her approval within seconds of Alyssa meeting her and it was all good from there. She's timely and her communication is great.”
“Hayleigh was absolutely incredible during her check‑in visits with Luna and Charles over the past couple weeks. Her communication was flawless—transparent, detailed, and consistent every single day. I always knew exactly how the pups were doing, and it was clear they adored her. She cared for them as if they were her own, and that peace of mind is priceless. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
“Ava was amazing! We had a difficult ask of 3x a day medication ranging from 6am to 10pm on short notice and she not only did that but added an extra visit when our travel plans changed and lingered for snuggles with our senior cat. I highly recommend Ava and will definitely use her moving forward.”
“Avery is amazing!! I feel so comfortable on vacation knowing she loves and cares for my cats. I can’t say thank you enough. This is our second time having Avery and will continue to book her in the future. You’re the best!!”
“Had 4 drop in visits for 2 cats over a weekend and was very satisfied; on-time, very knowledgeable, cats liked her, respectful, and did very well. 10/10 would recommend for any pet care needs.”
About: I have been taking care of cats since I was a little girl. Whether it was strays, rescues, kittens, or seniors! I know how to read cats body language very well, as I have 2 cats of my own! Each cat has their own unique personality traits, some are loving and friendly, others are shy, and some might just want some space. I can care for any breed of cat. I have given medication and eye drops, as well as trimming nails.
“Naomi took excellent care of our Kitties! With her knowledge & love for all cats we felt fortunate & confident with our Kitties in her care. Her attention to bringing in the mail & daily photos/videos was an extra bonus! 5🌟 all the way! We will rebook and would highly recommend!”
“Skylar is great! My two cats warmed up to them immediately. When I returned home, it was evident that Skylar took excellent care of my cats as they behaved as if I had never left. I have already recommended Sklyar to neighbors and will continue to book them to pet/house sit.”
About: I have cared for fur babies for the past 10 years, and my friends trust me with their babies. I treat them just like family members- with love, kindness and respect. I work during the week but I can take care of your pups in the evenings, and all through the weekend. I also work close to home, so if needed I can walk them during my lunch break as well. I have a dog to give your pupper some love and snuggles. We love going to the park. Also, we can also go on long walks in my gated apartment complex.
About: I worked at a boarding pet care store for over 2 years in high school. Where I took care of dogs of all ages and sizes as well as working up front where I gained tons of knowledge about animals. I currently have not much to do since I’m on winter break for college and have no other major responsibilities or vacations. I also can always stay the night if needed. I make sure that any pet feels safe and comfortable with me as well as ensure that they get the proper care and love they need while I’m with them.
“Alex did a fabulous job with our very picky kitty! Very responsive and incredibly helpful with our many requests! Thank you so much for everything Alex and we can’t wait to have you take care of Zelda again!”
About: Hi there! My name is Amanda! I am currently 25 years old and one major thing about me is that I will love any pet like my own. I have never met a dog I haven't loved and truly I just don’t think it’s in the cards for me! As for experiences with pet sitting, my first experience was in high school. I would help care for pets of close relatives when they went out of town on weekends, as well as, provided walks and feedings on date nights. It was such an incredible feeling, not only getting to spend time and care for pets outside of my home but to be trusted enough within their loving homes. Little did 17 year old me know what was to come. At 18 I started being reached out to by friends of friends and more distant relatives, simply by word of mouth. It felt like a dream and still does to this day that people speak so kindly of me without any hesitation. I quickly realized just how fulfilling and passionate I am about caring for pets and soon applied and got accepted to work part time at a dog boarding center for 3 years, alongside my personal pet sitting gigs. As loving and supportive my coworkers and I tried to make it, it truly never did compare to the at home services I was simultaneously doing. Working there truly transformed my views on just how valuable and meaningful it is for both the pets and parents to feel loved and cared for in the safety and comfort of their own home, and how important and special it is to stay on their selected routines in a timely manner. As many can assume, caring for 20ish dogs at a time is much less personalized and catered towards them as a whole rather than their specific needs. I started to feel bothered and would find myself frustrated when dogs I learned to love so much were not taken care of in ways they deserved. Some on the more nervous and anxious side were put into situations they were not comfortable in and was heart wrenching to know they would so much rather be cared for at homes. Now stating this, of course some dogs are cut out for the rambunctious and social life and love it, although, definitely not all and leaving the facility was a hard but dedicated decision to put in my upmost effort to provide for dogs with detailed and trusted care at all hours, catered towards each lifestyle individually. I now currently have a list of almost 20 clients, some from when I was 17, to some I have just met this past year who reach out to me for animal care. I can’t help but assume more dogs could be cared for one-on-one under personal comforting care and I would love nothing more than to continue and expand my journey on loving and caring for pets locally around the Cincinnati area! I have a very flexible schedule at the moment. I currently nanny part time as well as work part time for concerts under live nation entertainment. Pet sitting truly has become my main focus especially this year so I value part time jobs that currently give me great amounts of flexibility and freedom to change and switch around schedules when and if ever needed! Alongside providing specialized care for pets, I fully endorse the upmost respect for people inviting me into their homes. I understand how important trust and communication is from both sides and how every home security is catered different towards one another. I find myself constantly double checking locked doors and really treat each home like my own, following all instructions given by the home owner.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Laurel
“I was once where you are now. Scrolling through Rover trying to find the best dog sitter/match for your furry family member. It was reading those reviews that led me to Susan. And it was Susan who absolutely saved the day for us. We had a plan that didn’t work out and suddenly needed someone we trusted in a town where we knew not a soul to care for our 3 small pups. Our smallest being a 3 pound tea cup yorkie who suffers separation anxiety when she and my mom (her human) are apart. Susan took time to meet the family and the pups. She followed instructions to insure our 3 fur babies were comfortable, safe, and well cared for. All 3 dogs came back happy and exhausted. - The humans who went to the Ark returned the same… In other words. Ask Susan to watch your pups. She’s solid gold.”
About: I ONLY TAKE ONE PET AT A TIME SO THEY GET 100% OF MY ATTENTION & LOVE 24/7. I've had critters to love and care for since I can remember - all kinds: dogs, cats, a pony, ducks, chickens, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs and fish. Animals have always been a very important part of my life. I worked for a vet for several years, was on the Board of my local SPCA and have rescued 3 dogs and a cat as part of our family in the past 15 years. Now our empty nest home is pretty quiet but I am always ready to love some more! I started pet sitting for friends and discovered how fulfilling it can be, so I am more than ready to care for your fur baby too. I am at home full time now and have the whole day to tailor to the needs of the critters I care for, so even special needs are not usually a problem. I am an avid photographer and will happily send photo updates regularly. OH, and I go by LOLLY (a nickname since I was a toddler). I have a large fenced yard for off-leash, supervised play time and live in a forest with acres of trails for leashed walks. I have one cat at home and aim to board only ONE DOG AT A TIME (or two if they are housemates already). Your pet will stay inside my home which is a peaceful and safe environment, no small children, quiet neighbours and a husband who loves to give free belly rubs! Home 24/7 so am able to be with your pet all day and night which is especially important for little ones who aren't used to being away from home. We have a large fully fenced and large back yard in a forest-like setting and miles of trails for leash walks. Also a smaller fenced area within the larger fenced yard for late night or early morning relief. Your pet will never be outside without me.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child. We groom our cocker spaniels. If you want your dog bathed or groomed we can provide the service for an additional fee. Your dog will be loved and have playmates while you are away. My husband Marcus and I will feed and walk your pet. Walking is usually 1 time a day unless other instructions are given. We crate our dogs at night. I work weekends in a hospital. Marcus and our children are home on the weekends. Weekdays we are both home. We provide care and love around the clock. Marcus and/or I will always be there for your loved one. We have a fenced yard and 10 dogs to play with your dog. We will feed, walk and play with your fur baby. If you’re fur baby needs a bath or a groom we could possibly provide that service. We bathe, dry and groom our 7 cocker spaniels, yorkpompoo, and cavalier King Charles spaniel at home.
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.
“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!”
“Matilda had the most amazing day! We got regular updates and fantastic pictures from Amy. To say we were happy is an understatement. We live in FL and we were just passing through and needed day care while we visited the Ark encounter so unfortunately we won’t be able to use Amy on a regular basis but I sure wish we could. We were beyond satisfied and highly recommend her without hesitation! Matilda went for a pack walk, frolicked in the stream, and played for hours in her huge fenced-in dog play area with tons of fun toys and enrichment activities. We are very thankful! 🐾”
About: Ever since I was a child, my family has shared a deep love for dogs. I cared for my energetic Cocker Spaniel until I was 19 years old. In his later years, he developed heart disease and required daily medication, extra attention, and lots of patience. Caring for him taught me how important consistency, compassion, and attentiveness are when looking after a pet. After I moved out, my husband and I chose a spacious apartment with a beautiful lake view and welcomed two wonderful pets, Lucy and Jax, into our family. They are friendly, social, and love meeting other dogs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Pets are always supervised or safely separated when needed, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love and attention I give my own. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll care for yours as if they were my own. I’m currently working from home full-time and have plenty of daytime to be attentive to your fur babies. Plenty of time for walks. Fenced in dog park with large and small dog areas very close- small and empty. Also very large back yard and property on lake for plenty of walking space and long trails.
“Ryan was wonderful with my two dachshunds. Boarded them during the day while we had workers installing new carpet. Sent pics and videos so I had no worries. They came home tired and happy. Would hire Ryan again.”
About: 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 :)
“Rebecca and her husband were wonderful! I immediately felt comfortable in there home! Jackz our dog is blind and Rebecca was not only willing but happy to help us and Jackz out!”
“We enjoyed meeting Jonathan! We left Scotty with him while we attended a concert. He is quick to respond to texts and we appreciated his flexibility around not knowing exactly when we could get back. We would happily use Jonathan again to care for our dogs!”
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!
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.
“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.”
“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!”
About: With over 15 years of hands on experience fostering more than 80 dogs, I've cared for puppies, seniors, medical cases, and dogs needing extra patience, confidence building, and socialization. Every dog is an individual, and I enjoy getting to know their unique personality and routine. I actively train (and occasionally compete) in agility, herding, trick training, scent and others with my dogs as well as helping introduce others to CPE Agility as an instructor at Clermont County Dog Training Club. This experience has given me a strong understanding of canine body language, safe introductions, and enrichment. I provide a calm, home based boarding experience with plenty of individual attention. I'm comfortable administering most medications, happy to follow your dog's routine, and require a meet-and-greet before every first stay. To ensure personalized care, I accept a maximum of two guest dogs (40 lbs or less) at a time. I work from home, so your dog will have company and supervision throughout the day. Guest dogs are rarely left alone for more than a couple of hours, and if I do need to step out, all dogs are safely crated for everyone's security. Outside breaks are offered every 2–3 hours (or more often if needed), with plenty of opportunities for sniffing, play, and relaxation. Most days include two walks, enrichment activities, and, when weather permits, a longer hike or adventure around the adjoining 150-acre property using secure long lines. Dogs who enjoy the water may also have the opportunity to splash in the pond or explore the creek with owner approval. Every dog's activity level is adjusted based on their age, fitness, personality, and your preferences. Your dog's safety and comfort always come first. Every new guest is required to complete a meet-and-greet before booking so we can make sure everyone is a good fit. Because my own dogs share the home, I look for guests who are dog-friendly or dog-tolerant. New dogs are introduced gradually, and crate-free time with my dogs only happens after I've assessed everyone's comfort and temperament. Dogs are continuously supervised while together, and I carefully manage interactions to keep the environment calm and positive. My home features approximately half an acre of securely fenced outdoor space, along with access to 150 acres for on-leash adventures. Guest dogs are never off leash outside the fenced yard; long lines are always used when exploring. Dogs are welcome on the furniture unless you prefer otherwise, and I'll happily follow your household routines and care instructions to help your dog feel at home. Please note this is a hobby farm with chickens and sheep on the premise. They will be secured away from the guest dogs.
“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!”

“Hayleigh was great with Cota! It was quite last minute when I first contacted Hayleigh but she responded right away and we were able to schedule a meet and greet just a couple days later. Hayleigh communicated very well over the entire week and sent plenty of pictures! She made it much easier on cota while I was working, especially with all the storms that came through. Hayleigh even came earlier some days to beat the rain, which cota was very thankful for since she is not a fan of the rain at all! I will definitely be recommending Hayleigh to my friends for any dog sitting in the future, cota loved hanging out with her and getting extra treats!”
“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 have been pet sitting since I was 16 years old. I am often asked by coworkers of family to house sit during their vacations. I have pet sat dogs, cats, fish, and even chickens! I am comfortable waking, giving medication, and cuddling (my personal favorite), whatever your pup needs! I have two dogs of my own. One of my dogs is a senior and is high need due to his bone cancer. He requires daily medication and will until we are able to remove the leg. My other pup is a rambunctious lab, who is high drive and needs daily stimulation so he doesn’t anger his older brother. I often take him on walks or use the pond near our home to tire him out! I am used to house sitting in all types of homes. If your pup needs a daily walk I am can do that. If they’re an outside pup we can take a walk or even a hike! I stay at the home and don’t leave often. I ask that a physical copy of directions are left so that I can give the 100% proper care and able to contact through phone as well!
About: I’ve cared for various dog and cat breeds/personalities throughout my life, I love them all! I have some experience administering medications to dogs and cats. I am patient and consistent when it comes to following rules or a routine. I will treat your babies like they’re my own! My daily routine includes caring for my 3 kitties by playing with, cleaning up after, and feeding/watering them; I’d love to do the same for your pets! I’m familiar with special diets and administering various forms of medication, as my cats and other pets I sit, are on medicated diets and take additional medications. I currently have open availability, save a few social obligations over then next two months, but I’m flexible and communicative so we can always discuss timelines! I treat other’s spaces with care and consideration, I like to be respectful above anything else. I love all animals and treat the pets I sit with the same care I do my own.
About: I am a very passionate, attentive, and empathetic person when it comes to any and all animals! For many years I have taken sole care of both dogs and cats of all different breeds, and am well experienced in all general pet care to include special needs pets. All of the dogs I ever had as a kid were trained as puppies almost solely by myself and my brothers. My mom used to make me read books and do online research about the breed of dog we had, different training techniques, K9 first-aid, and so much more. Being as passionate as I am about animals, those studies were well retained, and while I don't have professional experience, the knowledge gained from doing it on my own with 9 different dogs over my lifetime have graced me with at the very least, an in depth knowledge of all different stages of dog ownership. This knowledge was also accentuated professionally as I worked alongside military police K9 handlers during my time in the Air Force. Not to worry though, I mix structure, routine, and discipline with plenty of tender loving care, and know how to tune my approach to dogs of all temperaments. In regards to puppies: I have experience potty training, leash training, crate training, and what I would call experienced but moderate obedience training skills. I know how to deal with things like food aggression, how to properly establish the "hierarchy" or "pack mentality" and other conditioning behaviors. As well as handling young puppies, I've even assisted a momma in giving birth to a new litter, and taking special care of a brand new litter of 7 pups! So my experience with all dogs truly does begin at birth and goes all the way to end of life care. For the old timers: The couch potatoes in our lives need just as much, and sometimes even more care than their energetic and young counterparts. I have experience with things like giving medication and shots, managing specialty diets, and a number of other age specific needs. I'm very patient and am willing to take the time to get to know your pet and what they need. Every animal has a different personality and needs attention in different ways, and I'm very attentive to that! I will always treat your pet as if they were my own, and will to the best of my ability make sure that your pet is well taken care of at all times. I'm a full-time nomad and side gigs are my primary source of income. Pet care IS my weekly routine. I'm available and more than happy to abide by the normal 9-5 schedule for daytime pet care, but I can also easily adjust to fit any alternate schedule; whether you need overnight pet care, or any other odd schedule constraints met, I am available. I have lived with my own dog in a variety of different conditions. From being on our own in both houses and apartments, to having a full house of dogs and cats. I am well versed in any additional responsibilities and special care based on living situations, and have no trouble go up and down a few flights of stairs for potty breaks/walks, etc.
About: *Note about rates and dates* I'm happy to discuss/negotiate amicably agreed upon $$rates but please understand, Rover takes 20% and I pet sit full time so this is my main source of income. Additionally, my sister is on Rover. Her name is Brett. If I'm unavailable, I highly recommend reaching out to her! She has 3 years experience pet sitting. Her link https://www.rover.com/sit/brettg06694 (scroll down for bio). I'm your pet's new best friend! Well sort of. You come first! 6 years experience taking care of multiple pets. Administered medications and special feedings. I've watched furry, fluffy and feathery pets from dogs and cats to chickens, bunnies and even a rat! I pet sit full time so I'm at your plaxe most of the day. Likely, I'll leave to workout, run errands, see friends but I will let you know if there's a particularly busy day and we'll discuss so you feel comfortable knowing your pet(s) is still being taken care of. Plenty of time to stay at your place overnight, teach fitness or clean a house then come back for quality time with your fur family. I DO NOT PROVIDE HOUSING AT MY HOME. I will gladly come to your residence and even stay overnight for your pets to alleviate any anxiety and make you and your family feel safe and at ease. References upon request. My business operates mainly by word of mouth. As of May 2021, I've worked full time as a pet sitter. To put it in perspective, I'm house/pet sitting 300/365 days of the year. Please check availability as my pet sitting schedule fills up quickly.
About: I have taken care of many pets for as long as I can remember! Friends, family and community know they can rely on me to watch their pets! I currently work part time, so it is easy to fit pet sitting into my daily life schedule and work or school schedule as well! Depending on the service, when I typically go to a client’s house, I make sure fences are closed and doors are locked of the house!
About: I’ve walked dogs of every breed weekly for 5 years at an animal shelter, so I have lots of experience caring for and walking dogs of all shapes and sizes. I can handle large dogs and small dogs without issue, I love all dogs equally!! I was taught all the signs of dogs so I know how to read their emotions and adjust accordingly. I love to play with dogs and cuddle as well when they are up for it. My family has had a dog my whole life so I have lots of care experience. I work full time during the week (7-3), so after and before work is when I can walk or let out dogs. My weekends are completely free for boarding, walking, and sitting! I can also let dogs out on my lunch break depending on distance. I have 1 dog in my home, he is a sweetheart so no worries there! I also live alone so no issues with roomates or space. I have a yard and a dog park in my neighborhood, but it is not fenced. I pay strict attention to dogs I am watching and make sure they are always happy and healthy, I do not take my eyes off of them! I walk dogs focused with no music or phone distraction to make sure I am ready for anything, and I have handled aggressive dogs often and can adjust when needed. I always clean up if accidents happen, and I leave places better than I found them, always!
About: For my entire life, I have grown up with a dog in my family home. I have experienced first hand how to care for a 2 month old puppy and a 13 year old senior dog. Since the age of 16, I have also watched family friends dogs, either doing overnight stays or routinely check-ins with the dogs. As a graduate student, I have classes on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. On those days, your pup may be home for a few hours while I’m in class, but I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and potty breaks before I leave and as soon as I return. Outside of my class schedule, I have a flexible routine and spend most of my time at home, so I’ll be able to provide lots of companionship, playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow all of your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any other special care your pet needs. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, and I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel the most comfortable. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I love cleaning and doing daily chores, so that will never be a problem for me! I’ll provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. My priority is making sure both you and your pet have peace of mind.
About: I have been in the animal care business for the last 10 years. I personally have a very loved dog that I have cared for, for the last 11 years. On top of caring for my family’s pets over the last 16 years. I work full-time with several days working from home. I know how important an animals schedule is and would do everything to maintain that so the pet’s routine is not affected. My dog and kitten get everything the want and everything I think they need 🤣. Leaving your animal in the trust of me would guarantee that the things you want done for your family are completed. These can include walks, playing with certain toys, or the use of certain leashes or collars.
About: With 15+ years of experience, I’m great with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I bring patience, reliability, and a genuine love that sets me apart. I’m skilled in walks, feedings, meds, and making pets feel safe and happy. I am a student at Northern Kentucky University, but with classes only for a few short hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I’m available to care for your fur babies any day of the week, any time. I offer loving care in my home or yours, depending on your pet’s needs. Whether it’s cozy sleepovers with my friendly dog or visits in their own space, I tailor each service to keep pets happy, safe, and stress-free!
About: I’ve been an animal lover since I can remember, began working with them in my teens, and am excited to continue building connections and care for pets in my community. I have a flexible work schedule and enjoy being productive and active in my free time. I’m here to help in any way I can! Safety and trust are paramount to me. Communication with owners ensures my safety, as well as your furry family member’s. Always willing to answer any questions or concerns!
“Avery is great! She was great when our house key was lost. She took our dog for the day and made sure he was taken care of and safe! Will definitely be booking with her in the future. (:”
About: I worked at a boarding pet care store for over 2 years in high school. Where I took care of dogs of all ages and sizes as well as working up front where I gained tons of knowledge about animals. I currently have not much to do since I’m on winter break for college and have no other major responsibilities or vacations. I also can always stay the night if needed. I make sure that any pet feels safe and comfortable with me as well as ensure that they get the proper care and love they need while I’m with them.
About: My name is Emily. I work full time in public service and I am a dog mom to a Golden Doodle named Rudy. I have 4+ years of working in animal care from working in shelters, as a veterinary assistant, and have cared for my neighbor's pets when needed. I am able to administer medications and care for any pets that have special needs due to having experienced working in both small and large animal clinics. I will treat your fur baby like my own! I currently have availability on week days in the evening and weekends all day. In the summer from end of June to mid - July I will have all day availability as well. My dog Rudy is very friendly and can accompany on visits if permitted or requested. I have a park close to my house and can commute to any area for a needed walk.

“Megan and David are amazing! I was so nervous to leave my older girl with her high maintenance health care needs, but I was able to have a relaxing trip knowing she was in good hands. They have a ton of animal care experience and the sweetest dog who was so patient; my girl was able to fit right in with the family. They are quick to respond and gave me daily updates with pictures. I couldn't recommend them enough and hope they are available the next time my pup needs a home away from home.”
“Alycia & Scott were awesome! Montey came back a very happy pup who appeared to have had his own little holiday! Montey can be quite nervous but Alycia made sure he (and I!) felt comfortable before leaving! We are so grateful for the regular updates and Alycia really took the time to read my (rather long!) bio on Montey before we arrived so she was fully clued up! Montey found a great friend in Stella too and we wouldn't hesitate to book with them again!”
“Great sitter! I came into town visiting family and needed a place for Stacy while we had a busy few days. Rachel was super flexible with drop off times and adjustments that were needed. Definitely would recommend Rachel to other pet parents in the area!”
“This was our dog’s first stay with Paige and her family. I could tell from the daily pictures and updates that he had a wonderful time. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip without guilt or worry knowing he was having so much fun. Having the children to play with was really great! A lovely family, and I can’t thank them enough!”
“Rebecca was fantastic. She took great care of my pup Daisy while we went away to Florida. She sent daily updates with photos and made our boxer lab feel right at home. Would definitely use Rebecca again.”
“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.”
“Absolutely phenomenal!!! The dedication and care Amy provides is absolutely amazing. Would recommend to anyone and everyone if I could give more than 5 stars I would.”
“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!”
“Lauren and Wynn were great. We have a 12 1/2 year old lab named Hunter. They gave him so much attention. We received pictures and texts from them every few days. When we returned from our trip we could tell Hunter had received great care.”
“Finn’s second time with Holly and he ran right inside when we dropped him off like it was his own house! He was so excited to be there and hang with Millie which makes us feel so good leaving him. Thanks again, Holly!”
“Wow, I was so pleased with Abbie as a sitter for our two 10 month old Winston & Riley. My anxiety level dropped from the pictures she sent, we would look forward to her updates. I could see the content in our boys eyes & the bonus was how her children loved on them during their five day stay. This stay was the first time using Abbie & Rover and will not be the last. I have bragged on Abbie to my friends that I was so pleased, which made my time away so much more enjoyable with no worries. We will be back soon.”
“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!”
“Thank you so much for taking great care of our boy! We loved the daily pupdates and felt completely at ease knowing he was with a family who truly loves animals and taking care of them. We will definitely book with you again ?”
“Hazbleydy I. & her husband were great! My dog can be very anxious and is usually not fond of new people but she had a great time at their house. Hazbleydy kept me updated with pictures the entire time, and even went out to get supplies for my dog that had ran out of during the stay. I would highly recommend her!”
“Patricia truly loves dogs and takes pride in caring for them as if they are her own. Our Winnie girl had a peaceful stay. We will be sending her back to stay again!”
“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!”
