“Alycia is absolutely wonderful with my dog, Archie! 🐶 She is dependable, caring, and treats him like her own. I never have to worry when Archie is with her—he’s always happy, well cared for, and loved. It gives me such peace of mind knowing Alycia is there for him. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets!”
“Teah & Eric were amazing!!! This was the first time my dogs have stayed outside of their home. Teah & Eric were great at calming them and making them feel welcome. I will choose them every time if I have the chance!”
“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!”
“As always, our dog had a great time with Joe and Tasha. He had some recent medical issues and they dealt with it as if he was their own. Can’t say enough about how great they are for boarding!”
“Melissa was very accommodating and helpful. She accepted and helped carry in his crate which is the safest place for him if they leave the house. She said that would only be for a short time and maybe not at all. She sent several pics of our dog playing outside , interacting inside or making himself at home on a bed. He was safe and returned home tired from all of his play/running around. I was very grateful for Melissa’s care.”
About: Hi! I’m Kristen! I come packed full of dog walking and pet sitting experience. During my 3 years in Chicago, I walked dogs of all shapes & sizes on a regular basis during my lunch breaks, with my most loyal clients being a Boston Terrier and a Wolf-hybrid. Before then, I worked with Cincy Dog Walkers 4-5 days a week for 5 months back in 2018, caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, energy levels, and behaviors. I’m also a huge cat-lover, as I especially miss my family cat back home. Loyalty, integrity, good communication and positivity are all values and characteristics I hold myself strictly to -all of which you can guarantee from me. Your pets will be in great hands with me as their caretaker! Feel free to ask me any questions. I’m currently working from home on a Central Time-based schedule, therefore I have open availability in the morning, lunch time, and in the evenings. Due to my flexible schedule, I’m open to moving things around to best fit your needs! In my home, I have a crate that can fit most dogs. I have a fenced-in yard, and live in a great neighborhood for walking!
“Elisheba was wonderful with my dog. She gave me daily updates on how she was doing and sent me fun pictures of the adventures they had while I was gone. I highly recommend her as a sitter for your pet as she has a true love for animals and she will welcome them into her home and take care of them as if it was her own pet.”
“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 :)”
“Taylor was amazing. She even accept my las minute request and even came to pick up and drop my dog Pika home. I’ll definitely will contact her again next time.”
“Kimberley did an amazing job keeping us updated with a lot of detail and photos of our dogs! One of ours is a mill rescue who needs a lot of extra patience and care and Kimberley did an excellent job accommodating her and helping her adjust. Would recommend!!”
“Megan was awesome! She was flexible with our schedule and we loved that she was always responsive. Megan and her son gave our cat a lot of attention, care, and cuddles while we were gone and we definitely recommend her!”
“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. :-)”

“Jessica is great! My old dog is a bit needy and she was so sweet, meeting him where he’s at and not complaining about giving him extra attention. My kids and I all loved that she sent daily updates with photos. We will definitely check in with Jessica next time we need a sitter!”

“Daniel recently provided drop-in visits for our daughter's cat Milo while we were on a family hiking trip. His pics of Milo showed how happy Milo was to see him, and when we returned home it was obvious Milo was much more at ease compared to other times we were away. We've also had Daniel pet sit for our dogs in the past, and he really creates a fast bond with them. We're so thankful to have someone as reliable and attentive as Daniel to care for our pets!”
“Suzanne did a drop in visit with our two cats while we were away for the weekend. She was great to work with and I would absolutely rebook with her! I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs :)”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing! She was super communicative and listened to all my pets’ needs. She made me feel at ease when I was away from my cats. She goes the extra mile to make sure my place is neat and my cats are happy!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I’m very perceptive. I grew up around 7 cats as a young child, and I care for cats of various ages/personalities (some with medical conditions) every Monday evening at Save the Animals Foundation. I can pick up changes in your furry family member’s body language quickly, preventing: fights, injuries, and possible medical emergencies.
About: Hi! I’m Pin-Hsuan. I’ve cared for animals my entire life — especially cats. Since moving to the U.S., I’ve raised my own three cats, helped neighbors around UC with cat-sitting, and supported a few foster cats. I’m calm, clean, reliable, and I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs. I specialize in caring for indoor cats. If your cat is shy, senior, energetic, or needs a bit of extra patience, I adapt easily. I also can do the injection and oral medication for cats. I send daily photo updates so you always know your pet is safe and relaxed.
“Maddie has been extremely flexible working with door issues in my building, and is quick to respond! She sends lots of cute pictures and videos, and I know my cat’s health and happiness is her first priority! I would definitely recommend her and would certainly book her again!”
“Jeff was excellent at taking care of our four cats. Responsive and punctual. He left everything clean and sent us photos daily. He went the extra mile to feed our wild birds. I recommend him for all your pet needs.”
“Absolutely amazing experience! He went above and beyond; took great care of both my home and my pet. He truly spent quality time with my pet, giving him lots of attention and love. My pet was happy and relaxed when I got back. Best sitter I’ve had on Rover, hands down!”
About: What sets me apart is my experience and flexibility. I started pet sitting in college and have always loved caring for animals. Now that I work locally with summer hours ending before 5, I’m able to offer reliable drop-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I treat every pet like my own and understand how important consistency and trust are for pet owners Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I work in Hyde Park, so I’m already in the area during the week. On Wednesdays I’m off at 1, Thursdays at 2, and Fridays I’m off all day, which gives me plenty of flexibility. I care for pets like they’re part of the family. My own dogs are definitely spoiled — we have a 10.5-year-old Lab/Collie mix and recently adopted a 1-year-old Chihuahua mix — so I’m used to caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their pet’s normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and comfort to help them feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away
“Jessica was amazing and so thoughtful with my cat and ensured that she was properly cared for and that the overall space and litterbox was taken care of. My cat was always happy to see Jessica for every drop in, will definitely re book in the future!”
“I had a great experience working with Emma! She took great care of my kitties and helped give medication to one of them, while also monitoring her condition and keeping me updated every day. It really gave me peace of mind. The kitties are happy to see her again!”
About: I’m a big cat lover, so I truly understand their unique personalities and needs. In high school, I worked at Best Friends Pet Care, where I cared for both cats and dogs, gaining hands-on experience with feeding, cleaning, and making sure each pet was comfortable and well cared for. While I was in college, I also worked at Red Dog Pet Resort during school breaks, continuing to build my experience with pet care. Now I pet sit on the side and have cared for multiple animals at once, including homes with both cats and dogs. I’ve had two cats of my own growing up. Whether your cat is playful, independent, shy, or loves attention, I always focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Jill was amazing! She followed the instructions for our cats perfectly and it gave us a lot of peace of mind while away. Sent plenty of pictures - would definitely book again!”
“Ashley & Trinity are reliable and super communicative. They were very proactive when one of our cat litter box (automatic) stopped working. We are very thankful to have such reliable cat sitters like thyme that care to do a good job but that you can honestly feel they care for our kitties. They love them.”
“We had Monica let our dog out a couple times while we were gone for an overnight. She was great! We didn't have a chance to meet before hand as it was a last minute request but I was able to leave a key and instructions. She was great with our dog, filled his food and water, let him out, took him for a little walk, and even sent us a photo/updates. Would definitely recommend her if you need someone to care for your dog!”
About: As a rising third-year veterinary student at the University of Illinois, I have extensive hands-on experience working with cats in both clinical and home settings. My veterinary training has taught me how to safely and calmly handle cats of all personalities—including shy, anxious, senior, high-energy, and more independent cats—while paying close attention to their comfort and stress levels. I understand that cats thrive on routine and familiar environments, so I strive to make their care as low-stress and personalized as possible while you’re away. I am comfortable with feeding routines, medications, litter box care, enrichment, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or health that cats can sometimes hide. Beyond my clinical experience, I genuinely love taking the time to build trust with each cat at their own pace. Whether your cat enjoys playtime and attention or prefers quiet companionship and patience, I will adapt my care to fit their individual personality and needs. My goal is always to make both you and your cat feel safe, comfortable, and confident while they are in my care.
“We hired Brendan to stay at our house for our week long trip to watch our Orange Tabby, Popsicle. We had a list of things we wanted him to do on a daily basis for Popsicle and he was diligent in following that list. We received a morning and evening photo and corresponding with Brendan was very easy. Brendan cares deeply for being on time and being responsible and was certainly a professional pet sitter for our cat who we love so much.”

“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Leo went to his first daycare with Katie and he loved it! She greeted him at the door and welcomed him and made sure the other pups were away so he wouldn't be overwhelmed walking in. He loved it and can't wait for his next stay! He was definitely tuckered out from all the fun he had playing with the other pups. You can tell Katie knows how to handle things and is a dog-lover. We're so glad we found her!”
“Jessica and David were so kind and accommodating of my last minute request! They took excellent care of my dog Bruno and made sure to update me throughout the day so I knew he was having a good time”
About: I grew up on a dairy farm and have always had cats and dogs around. My kids are excited to learn some responsibility through animal care along with my supervision and spend time with dogs. Recently retired from corporate world and children expressed interest in dog walking/boarding. Good opportunity to walk and teach children lessons in pet care while spending time bonding with dogs. We have a fully fenced backyard in addition to a bonus room that the animal would stay in while boarded. My children and I would show a lot of care and attention to your pet.
About: I’m currently studying to be a vet assistant. Since I was a kid I’ve loved animals and have accumulated lots of knowledge over the years. I’ve been trusted to care for many family pets. I’m very calm and patient, and I’m excited to have the opportunity to care for your pets as well! I’m currently working part-time, early mornings. Mid-week, afternoons and weekends are the best times for me to care for and play with your babies! I live in a very quiet home and a very quiet neighborhood. We can sit and relax while I knit or easily walk down to the nearby observatory, park, or town square.
“Jenny and her family were amazing!! They took care of my dog like he was their own. He had so much fun and didn’t want to leave. Jenny also sent me awesome pictures of all the fun he was having. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for over 20 years and truly enjoy being around them. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with different personalities — from energetic pups to more anxious or senior pets. I offer walks, drop-in visits, and boarding in my home. I do have a cat, and he is used to being around dogs, but I always prioritize safety and comfort for everyone. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and structure my schedule intentionally, so I’m able to provide consistent walks, feeding times, and attention throughout the day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-ins, and when boarding, pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I value routine and make sure each pet’s normal schedule is maintained to help them feel comfortable and secure. I live in a safe, walkable neighborhood with my son (7 YO) and our cat, Toto. While our backyard is not fenced, dogs are always leashed for outdoor time and walks. We have great sidewalks and a quiet area that’s ideal for daily exercise. Inside the home, I provide a calm and supervised environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s comfort level and always prioritize safety, clear communication with owners, and following specific care instructions. I’m also happy to schedule meet-and-greets beforehand to ensure everyone feels confident.
About: Used to volunteer at pet shelter! Never met a dog I didn’t love. 💜 Have 1 dog at home and a protective fence. Will provide lots of lovins! Work from home with plenty of time to cuddle, feed, let out in the yard - and they will have an active and sweet playmate with our Corgi. Fenced yard with large home. 1 dog at home (a corgi!). Near a park and love to play. Safe neighborhood in Blue Ash. Covered back patio with sun protection.
“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 have been a dog guardian for 40 years including two Huskies for 10 years. I spent 25 years in San Francisco where my dogs went to the dog park twice a day. I was also a volunteer at the SPCA in California where I helped care for the dogs waiting to be adopted. Your best friend will get one on one and 100 percent attention from me. I only board one dog at a time unless they are from the same household already. I am working out of my condo as a freelance designer and make my own schedule. Because of this I am able to provide full time care for pets. I was a volunteer at the SPCA in San Francisco before moving back home to Ohio. I have a condo in Montgomery surrounded by green grass off the road. There is a great park down the road. I also have the option of boarding special needs dogs at our family home 5 minutes down the road.
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: Hi! I’m Jenna — a recent transplant from a Colorado to Cincinnati, and a dog mom of one little munchkin. I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone new, as I used to travel tons! So my goal now that I can care for others is to make both you and your pup feel totally at ease. I’ve cared for dogs on and off the Rover platform of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, from easygoing seniors to high-energy walkers who need a good workout. I’m super detail oriented & therefore very attentive to routines — feeding schedules, walk preferences, medication instructions, and any quirks that make your dog your dog. You can expect regular photo and video updates, clear communication, and a calm, responsible approach to care. I treat every dog like they’re my own, which means I’m a great fit if you’re looking for someone dependable, communicative, and genuinely invested in your dog’s well-being. I’m happy to do a meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a good match! Looking forward to meeting you and your pup 🐾 Im in the office during the week, but regularly free on nights & weekends for support when you have other life commitments. My own dog, Nash, is home when I’m at work and we can arrange crate time or separate rooms if staying overnight. I'm available to take your dog out on long walks, play fetch in the backyard, or just keep them company for a break in their day. Whatever works for your dog works for me!

About: As a rising third-year veterinary student at the University of Illinois, I bring both professional training and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for. Through my veterinary education and hands-on clinical experience, I have worked with animals of many breeds, sizes, ages, energy levels, and temperaments—including shy, anxious, high-energy, and senior pets. My experience has taught me how to safely handle animals, recognize signs of stress or illness, and adapt my approach to each pet’s individual personality and needs. Whether your pet loves playtime and attention or prefers a calmer, quieter environment, I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and have experience with feeding routines, medications, and providing patient, attentive care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone dependable, communicative, and trustworthy, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated so you can feel confident they are in good hands. My schedule is very flexible this summer! I am currently working part-time and participating in some veterinary shadowing experiences, but outside of that I have wide availability for pet care. I am available most weekends and have flexibility throughout the week, especially during mornings and evenings. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that best fit their pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a veterinary student, I have experience recognizing signs of stress, illness, and discomfort in animals and understand the importance of careful, attentive care. I strive to create a calm and positive environment for every pet while respecting their normal routines and boundaries. I know how important trust is when someone else is caring for your pet, so I will always communicate clearly, provide updates, and treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs extra patience, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Kristen is super nice & reliable!! Communication is very good, she keeps us posted & sends us pictures during the walk (which is a nice pick me up during work!). We know our pup is in good hands! :)”
“Mark was so great with our dog. He is a senior pup who needed his exercise while my mom had an injury and couldn’t take him out. My mom would not stop talking about what a nice young man Mark is and how much she and the dog liked him. He was also very accommodating towards us and some of our requests. Highly recommend mark!”
About: Every animal deserves to feel safe, and I pride myself on being calm, compassionate, and attentive. Whether your fur baby is energetic or anxious, I meet them with patience to create that trusting bond during our time together. My only conflicts are listed below. Monday evenings are very flexible, though, and I’m always available before/after work at the candle store. • Mondays: 6pm-8pm at Save the Animals Foundation • Wednesdays: 12pm-5pm at Nova Candle Company • Thursdays: 11am-6pm at Nova Candle Company • Saturdays: 10am-3pm at Nova Candle Company I have a decent sized backyard (fenced in) with plenty of toys for your furry family member, and I have easy access to a park for walks. If they have low energy, my older Pug will be their snuggle buddy. If they have high energy, my Shiba Inu puppy will give them a grand playtime.
About: I’ve taken care of many cats and dogs of my own and for friends and family for many many years. I have raised cats and dogs as young as 6 weeks as well as trained them. I love meeting new fluffy friends of all kinds! I have a job as a barista and typically work there 5 days a week so my schedule is very flexible. My availability is ever changing so feel free to ask! I have a 20 lb shetland golden retriever mix that loves to play, is very well mannered, and gets along with dogs of all sizes! I have a walking trail near where I live that I typically walk my dog and the ones I sit. I also love to take pups to Riverside to walk. If I am attending to another persons home i’ve always been raised with the idea of “leave it better than you found it”. If there are indoor cats I pay close attention to detail to make sure they don’t accidentally get out.
“On short notice Stephanie was able to walk my dog (Megan) several days in a row. She was great with Megan & they bonded immediately. Stephanie was comfortable in caring for Megan.. Megan had so much fun walking with Stephanie that I have already scheduled several walking dates with Stephanie in September.”
“Daniel is so great! I’m really impressed with him. He is so knowledgeable with dogs and has been helping me train my puppy during visits. My puppy Benny loves him so much!”

About: Hi! My name is Elisheba, along with being a mother to 3 kids, I am also a lover of all things furry and cute. I have been caring for dogs my entire life and have owned American Bulldogs, Boerboels and Frienchies. I frequently dog sit for my friend's furry kids while they are away. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes as well as energy levels. I am a laid back person myself, but my children sure do a great job at keeping pups active and entertained. I consider myself an experienced puppy snuggler but I love going on walks and venturing to local dog parks. I understand that your dog is a member of your family and I will make sure they feel like they are a member of mine!

“Melissa was very accommodating and helpful. She accepted and helped carry in his crate which is the safest place for him if they leave the house. She said that would only be for a short time and maybe not at all. She sent several pics of our dog playing outside , interacting inside or making himself at home on a bed. He was safe and returned home tired from all of his play/running around. I was very grateful for Melissa’s care.”
About: Hi! I’m Kristen! I come packed full of dog walking and pet sitting experience. During my 3 years in Chicago, I walked dogs of all shapes & sizes on a regular basis during my lunch breaks, with my most loyal clients being a Boston Terrier and a Wolf-hybrid. Before then, I worked with Cincy Dog Walkers 4-5 days a week for 5 months back in 2018, caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, energy levels, and behaviors. I’m also a huge cat-lover, as I especially miss my family cat back home. Loyalty, integrity, good communication and positivity are all values and characteristics I hold myself strictly to -all of which you can guarantee from me. Your pets will be in great hands with me as their caretaker! Feel free to ask me any questions. I’m currently working from home on a Central Time-based schedule, therefore I have open availability in the morning, lunch time, and in the evenings. Due to my flexible schedule, I’m open to moving things around to best fit your needs! In my home, I have a crate that can fit most dogs. I have a fenced-in yard, and live in a great neighborhood for walking!

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!”
“Bradley was amazing with Chinook and Apache! They had a great time during their stay—Bradley kept me updated with plenty of pictures, and the boys looked so happy when I picked them up. Now they’re both passed out asleep at home, which tells me they had a fun and active time! I’ll definitely be booking with Bradley again. Highly recommend!”

“Jenna took excellent care of our 10 month old golden retrieve Coco. She and her family welcomed Coco into their home and provided the care and attention Coco needs. Jenna even sent texts and photos which reassured us Coco was doing well. We never like to leave Coco at a kennel when we go out of town. She is confined in a kennel with limited attention. It is good to know we have a wonderful home where Coco is welcomed and will receive loving individual care and attention thanks to Jenna. Debbie R”

“Nick was an awesome host for Pizza. He encouraged a meet and greet with his two dogs (who are awesome and energetic and I knew would get Pizza nice and played out :) ). He was flexible and prompt to communicate. I also got several pictures and videos throughout Pizza’s stay. Would happily send Pizza back to Nick anytime.”
“Amanda did an amazing job communicating and sending pictures and updates of my puppy while I was gone on vacation. I worry about leaving my phone puppy with anyone and she made it so easy to not worry one bit about him while I was gone. She not only has great communication she treats all the dogs like her own and makes sure the owners know they are in great hands. I definitely recommend her for any type of dog she was beyond wonderful.”
“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.”
