About: I’ve been a cat person since birth, literally! My mom’s cat adopted me as her kitten, and I’ve adored cats ever since. Today, I’m a proud servant to 5 sweet rescues thanks to the cat distribution system. Since my husband and I agreed 5 is our limit, I’m channeling my extra love into pampering your fur-babies. I’ll treat your kitty with the same devotion I give my own. I can’t wait to meet my next fluffy friend!
“This was our first time ever using Rover and we were a little hesitant with having someone come into the house to care for our furbabies (2 cats) while we were on vacation. Enter in Kelsey! She was great! Kelsey showed up, took photos, and communicated greatly. We never had to worry at all while on vacation. I would definitely be booking Kelsey again for our next vacation to watch after our furbabies.”
About: I provide dependable, personalized care with the added benefit of pre-veterinary experience, giving me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety. I treat every dog like my own and focus on creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I'm a recent college graduate available full-time for the summer! I'd love to hang out with your beloved, four-legged friends during the week and/or weekends. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In my clients’ homes, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. I also make sure pets feel secure through patience, positive interaction, and plenty of supervision, while always respecting the client’s home and keeping communication open with regular updates and photos.
“I liked Chloe the minute I met her. She came over for a pre visit to meet my cats and learn about their routine. Ava and Tucker warmed up to her right away and I knew they would be in good hands. Chloe arrived on schedule for four mornings and five evenings to feed, play with and attend the litter box. When I arrived home from my trip, the house was in order, and everything looked as I left it. I’ll definitely request Chloe again. 🏠😸👍🏻👍🏻”
“They have been so incredibly kind and accommodating! An absolute godsend with a last minute trip and trying to find care for my cats. Will definitely book again and completely recommend!”
“Wonderful person & petsitter! I felt confident my cat & home would be in good care and after a holiday weekend's drop-in visits, I was proven 100% correct. I know for future petsitting needs I'm keeping Bethany as my top pick!”
About: I worked at the San Diego Zoo for almost 20 years. My work there included animal care and nutrition. I love all types of dog and cat!

About: I've always had a deep love for animals, and when it comes to dogs, I believe they deserve to be as pampered as if they were in their own home! Growing up with four dogs, I cherished the moments we spent playing in the backyard and the joy they showed when it was time for their tasty treats after dinner! Since I work from home, your beloved pet will have companionship throughout the day! I promise to shower them with the same love and special attention that I give my own puppy, ensuring they feel right at home. We have a cozy house with a fenced yard, perfect for letting your furry friend roam and play, and I’m dedicated to taking them on daily walks to explore the neighborhood.

“1st time having daycare with Whitley and I couldn’t be happier or more comfortable with my girls enjoying their day. Great photos and videos shared through the day and they both slept all the way home in the car- perfect!”
About: I’ve been involved with dog rescue for many years. I worked with virtually every type of dog there is. From shy, timid to very high energy. I’ve had dogs that had aggression issues. I worked with dogs on leash training, housebreaking, and socialization. I am retired. I have nothing but time on my hands! I volunteer Thursday mornings at an equine therapy barn. But I will still have time to take care of animals on Thursdays. I am open to caring for dogs in my home. But! They have to be dog and cat friendly. I would prefer not to have younger dogs, only because my dogs are older and don’t like young dogs, jumping all over them. My dogs are very dog friendly though. My cats are very dog friendly. In fact, they prefer dogs over our cats!
“Michael was great! He asked questions to know Rosie better. He kept in touch with us before her daycare date. During her stay he kept us up to date & sent pictures. We would definitely recommend them & would schedule with them again if we visit the area. It was a perfect situation for our Rosie! Thanks, Michael!”
“David was great with Myles. He is already going to potty outside after just a week of training with David. I can already see a difference with his behavior and his separation anxiety and also the way he interacts with other dogs. His personality is starting to shine now. I think after a few more weeks of training Myles is going to be in great shape.”
“Alij is such a sweet and caring sitter. She kept me updated and made me feel comfortable while I was away from my dogs. I’m so grateful for the great care she gave them, and I’ll definitely be booking her again.”
“What a delight! Senator had a wonderful time with Mindy and canine babies. Mindy was so kind and ready to spend time with him. He was exhausted afterward, but….that’s a compliment. Hope to visit again soon.”
About: I've had at least two dogs my entire life. I've cared for puppies through adult dogs. I have even cared for some with special needs. When your dog stays with me, you also get my whole family to care for them. I'm a stay at home mom and I have plenty of time to care for your baby. I can be with your dog at all times. I have a fenced in yard and three dogs who would love to play and snuggle. I will also walk your dog if you'd like.
About: I’ve grown up on farms with many animals to include dogs and have raised them since I was young. Can’t wait to introduce myself to your fur baby’s and give them the love that they show us every day 😄 I’m currently in between jobs so my hours are flexible for your needs, always up for the exercise for a run or walk with your animals 😁 Currently only have a cat in a studio apartment so no space for a dog. My dog is back home in Ohio with my parents as I have no space here for him right now.
About: I have fostered over 70 animals the past four alyears. Puppies, adult dogs kittens and cats. Also bunnies and guinea pigs! I have tons of experience with house training and crate training puppies. I volunteer at our local animal shelter weekly and have developed a strong bond with the rescue community. I also have experience administering medication. During the past two years I have met many animals , all with a different type of personality. I have been able to adapt and learn how to handle each unique personality. My time as a foster and shelter volunteer has really showed me what my true passion is! My schedule is very flexible and I'm usually able to accommodate last minute requests. Unless I have another client , my schedule is almost always open. I volunteer at the shelters on Tuesday mornings but I can always rearrange my volunteer days. My home is fenced in and I have crates for my own dogs, also extra crates for your dogs. My dogs have multiple play styles so I can adapt to just about any personality. I only ask that if your dogs are boarding in my home they are animal and kid friendly. If you're nervous about your dogs being around dogs you don't know, I understand. I can easily rotate the dogs time so they never even have to interact, as I have baby gates to keep them separated. I have a big fenced in yard so your dog will get plenty of play time. If you want boarding in your home I can do that too. I can provide plenty of love and play for them. Whatever you are comfortable with in your home just let me know! I also always will send tons of pictures. If you have puppies I can absolutely help with potty and also crate training if they aren't crate trained yet.
About: Hi there! I’m Andrew—a lifelong animal lover with a big heart and an even bigger soft spot for furry friends. Whether it’s going on walks, giving belly rubs, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m dependable, patient, and always treat every animal like family. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved pet, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated with pics and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether you have a playful pup, a chill senior, or a shy kitty—I’d be honored to care for them like they’re my own. Let’s connect—I’d love to meet you and your furry companion! Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day. I build in time for morning and evening walks, play sessions, feeding routines, and any special care your pet may need. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended sitting, I’m able to adapt my routine to fit your pet’s needs and keep them comfortable, happy, and loved. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do everything I can to maintain their normal routine and create a stress-free environment. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or bedtime routines—and I take the time to learn your pet’s personality, preferences, and quirks. I always treat your home with respect, keep things clean, and make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you're away. If I’m providing care in my own home (depending on the service), I offer a calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I make sure pets are never left alone for long periods, and I keep a close eye on their behavior, comfort, and health throughout their stay. In both settings, communication is key—I’ll keep you updated with regular messages, photos, and videos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Parisa took great care of my German Shepard. She provided plenty of exercise for him in her shaded backyard. He came home worn out every day which tells me that he had a great day with her. She also provided daily photos and updates via text. She is friendly and loved our dog while he was in her care.”
About: Hi there! I’m Steven - lifelong dog lover, experienced sitter and a pet parent of two sweet pups: a Bernese and a Chihuahua. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone new, and my goal is to make every pup feel right at home and every owner complete at ease. With years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I have handled everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. I’m patient and love learning each dog’s quirk and routines. I work from home most days, which means your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day. On the days I am in the office (usually Tuesday and Wednesday) I can adjust my schedule as needed to fit your pet’s routine. I live in a safe, pet friendly community in Colerain with plenty of green spaces for walks. I also love taking dogs to parks for a change of scenery or staying cozy indoors for extra belly rubs! Safety always come first. All outdoor time is fully supervised and your pup will never be off leash unless in a safely enclosed area. I truly treat every dog as my own and want to make your time away stress free. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! My day pretty much revolves around dogs — and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Since I work from home most of the week, I’m able to keep a flexible schedule full of walks, playtime, and cuddles. My own pups keep me active and in a great routine, so adding another furry friend into the mix feels natural. Even on my in-office days, I make sure every dog gets the attention and consistency they’re used to. I care for every dog as if they were my own. At my home, pups are part of the family — they can lounge, play, and get lots of attention throughout the day. I make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe, and I always supervise outdoor time. When I’m watching pets in their own home, I do my best to keep everything just how they like it. I stick to their regular routine, give them lots of love, and keep you in the loop with updates and pictures so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.
About: Hi my name is Patrice. I'm a veterinary technician who loves being with animals even outside of my normal work day. If I could I would adopt a million pets but unfortunately that's not an option. I take pride in being able to help care for pets outside of my own. There's nothing more fulfilling than being able to play with fur babies when the owners cannot do so because of work. I am able to provide exercise time, medication administration, ear cleaning, and basic grooming. If you are in need of any of the above services feel free to reach out to me. I would love to get to know you and your fur babies and develop a life long bond. Pet care fits into my daily routine perfectly. I'm always with pets even in my dreams. Rather I am walking pets or meeting up for grooming appointments, I'm always with pets. I get a background of the pets home life and mimic that while they are with me. Routine works best with most pets. When you switch up what they are used to they do not do well.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and experienced pet sitter who truly loves what I do. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and a variety of other animals, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and routines—from high-energy pups to laid-back seniors. I offer both in-home overnight stays and drop-in visits, depending on what works best for you and your pet. I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have a cat and a 3 year old pit/cattle dog mix. I have owned multiple dogs over the years, including reactive dogs, which gave me hands on experience with different personalities, behaviors, and needs. I worked closely with a professional trainer in the past and gained a lot of confidence in handling and understanding dogs of all kinds. Because my entire family has dogs, I’m constantly around animals and genuinely love spending time caring for them. I understand that every pet is different and that some are energetic and social, while others need patience, structure, and a calm approach. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or just having a comforting presence around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away! I currently work full time Monday-Friday from 7-4, however I am fully remote and my job is relatively flexible. Working from home makes life easy as I can take time on my lunch break to do a quick walk or drop in with your fur babies. I’m also available before 7am and after 4pm on weekdays and available on the weekends. I do get bank holidays off and a decent amount of PTO which allows even more flexibility 🙂 While I’d love to welcome every pet into my home, I have a reactive dog of my own, so I currently only offer care in clients’ homes through drop ins, walks, and house sitting. The safety and comfort of your pets and mine will always come first 💕

I can dog sit, do walks and visits on weekends only as I have a full time job m-f. I'm in and out of the home during the week for work. I prefer dogs under 50 lbs as I am not as strong for the larger dogs. I can come take your dog to a local park or take them on a 30 min walk. I love walks myself. We are experienced IN SENIOR PET CARE. I work full time. M-f. I'm in an out of the home seeing clients. Maximum amount of time the dog would be alone is 5 hrs. Whatever you need to make your dog feel safe- let me know! We always come to you----In your home we will leave your place clean before we leave! work full time from home, gone no more than 5 hr at a time. walks in am if needed. Lots of kisses and snuggles from Me! always on a leash , if your yard is fenced in, I'll come outside with the dogs and observe potty breaks. Lots of outdoor time and walkies

“The best part about leaving our dogs with Gabe is they are so happy to leap out of the car and run up to him! They are obviously very comfortable there. Thanks again Gabe for a worry free trip. We very much appreciate the work you do for us. You are a blessing!”
“Susan is so thoughtful and attentive. It was our first time leaving our boys with her and she did a great job with her communication with us and care of our pugs. We will use her again!”
“Christina was amazing with our 50lb boxer. He is very high energy and when he got home, he was worn out. I would definitely recommend her and hope to use her again as well!”
“Chrissy did great with my Willow! I was at a loss with having people watch her due to her anxiety and rowdiness but while she was with Chrissy she seemed to get plenty of play time and I got photos while she was there! I’ll definitely be using her again! Highly recommend.”
“Michael and Anne were nothing short of fantastic! They took such great care of my dog. They were very focused on details and making sure they knew and had everything they needed to give him a good stay ahead of time. They sent pictures and updates throughout each day during his stay. They exercised him 3 mi each morning when weather would permit. The attention to detail, great communication, and exceptional care for my dog ensures that I will definitely be working with them again for care for my dog. I can't recommend the more highly!”
“Misty was phenomenal with our dog Samson. He's a big dog and she walked him, she cared for him she took pictures of him. Wow, I was so impressed and felt so comfortable her. Misty's children loved on him. It was a beautiful experience and I will definitely use her as many times as I can!”

“Bill and Haley are more than I could ask for in dog sitters… once after my fight got delayed, they were willing to bring my dog Sadie out to the car at 1 am, so I wouldn’t have to drive back the next morning. They go above and beyond in attention, care and kindness. I absolutely highly recommend their services!”
“I loved the daily pictures from Katie. It made me feel closer to them. They had a great vacation with Katie while we had a vacation. Thank you Katie. We will use you again for sure!”
