“This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience! Courtney and Jordan took great care of my dog and I was able to enjoy my trip away without worry.”
“Katarzyna and Tim were both super nice people. They sent daily videos of our dog playing. Our dog really enjoyed the pond! They both also responded to texts promptly. We will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Dawn watched our 2 miniature schnauzers for almost 2 weeks and was amazing. We have a 15 year old that requires several medications and special food prep, and one younger dog with more energy, and she did great with both. She has a great setup at her house, and I felt very comfortable with her, the care she provides and the environment for the dogs while we were away. She even sent pics regularly so we could see how they were adjusting and get our fix while we were away!”
“I have a 12 yo German Shepard. He's an old man now. We were going away for New Years and our normal sitter wasn't available. I was apprehensive about leaving him with someone new. Karin was spectacular. She was attentive to his needs and careful about his 'age' related shortcomings. She has a pup of her own and a young son who loved my boy. Karin sent plenty of pics of him and was very communicative during his stay, asking questions to make sure behaviors were normal and making sure he'd tolerate the environment there! I don't know how many stays my old man has left in him, but Karin is definitely the person I'd want watching him when I leave!”
“Sabrina was great! She treated my dog like family and in turn my dog did the same :) Scout absolutely loved staying there and enjoyed herself so much. I would highly recommend to anyone in the area if you are in need of a dog sitter/boarding. A+++!”
“Catherine was very accommodating and responsive. Appreciate all her photos and text updates. Adam was a pleasure to deal with, too. Hoping to interact with them more often!”
“Joe did a great job communicating with me about Murphy while away. he is very friendly & accommodated every request he could for me. He spoiled Murphy with food and cuddles. i will continuing to use him in the future for future boardings😄”
“Aparajita accepted a last minute request for boarding and took amazing care of Sugar. She kept us informed about how Sugar was doing daily with photos and videos. It made us feel relieved knowing our pup was in such good hands while away from us. We would definitely rebook and recommend Aparajita!”
“Hatsuki is a wonderful mommy for my kitty, Vivi. She is genuinely compassionate and a caring person for the animals who cannot talk. She gave a very comfortable home for Vivi during her stay. Thank you, Hatsuki, for all you have done to me and my kitty. Vivi said she was happy to have met you, and looking forward to meeting with you again. Many thanks for your kindness. Makiko”
“Catherine is absolutely lovely and clearly loves dogs! My pup was welcomed as if she was one of the pack already. Catherine did an amazing job of introducing her slowly to the other dogs and took great care of Lady. Would definitely book again!!”
“Derik and Megan are wonderful. They took on a challenge or what I would call a challenge by caring for my little boogie baby. They treated him so well as if he was their own. They kept me updated with pictures and text. I wouldn't ask for a better dog sitter. They made us feel at ease with our baby knowing it was our first time ever boarding him. Thank you again!”
“Tara far exceeded our expectations in caring for our 13 year old Goldendoodle. Tara provided incredible care and it’s clear her family is deeply committed to the pets for which they care. We will definitely bring Baylee back, because she already misses them! thank you to Tara and her family!”
“Rachel and her family treated my dog very well! Look forward to hiring again. I appreciate how she stepped up in a pinch after my reserved sitter wasn’t able to watch two days before Christmas/same day I was flying out.”
About: I have experience with many breeds and ages, and have been the primary carer for our current two dogs since birth. What can I say dogs just like me . Retired from my chosen career path now full-time homemaker. I currently watch our two pups and we would love a new friend to play with! I have a nice, big fenced backyard, and a fenced in front porch. My current dogs go out about every 2-3 hours during the day, but I can adhere to your dogs schedule if different. I often spend lots of time outside with my dogs, playing, and hanging out enjoying the day.
“Nicole was so sweet to our girls. She’s very accommodating and her communication was great! She sent us a bunch of pictures and videos to keep us updated. She has a great yard for your dog to run around. Highly recommend her. I will definitely be back.”
“Ryan is great! He has watched Niko, our GS mix a few times now. This last time we were gone for over a week, when we picked up Niko he was freshly bathed and tuckered out from his 3mile walk. We hope to use Ryan again!!!”

“Sydney did a great job with my elderly cat. She did drop in visits to ensure he had food and water and she cleaned his litter box. I would recommend her and I will use her again in the future.”
“We highly recommend Rayme as a pet sitter as she is professional and trustworthy. Rayme followed feeding and medication instructions to the letter while ensuring the best care of our asthmatic cat. Having Rayme as our pet sitter while we were out of the country removed our worries and we appreciated her focused report outs.”
“This is the second time Jennifer has taken care of our two kitties and fish tank while we were away. I trust her so much and she is just great with them. The cats really enjoy their time with her. We’ll be using Jennifer’s services every time we’re away!”
“This was my first time leaving the dogs to be checked on by a non family member. Morgan was so kind to do a meet and greet a week or 2 in advance. My 3 dogs loved her instantly! Morgan let me know when she arrived for the drop in, sent me a picture, and texted again when she left. I will absolutely request Morgan again!”
About: Hi there! I’m Katie, your go-to pet lover who believes every wag, purr, and cuddle makes life brighter. I’ve grown up around animals and have spent 15 years caring for dogs, cats, and even the occasional quirky critter. Whether your pup needs adventurous walks, your senior dog needs gentle care, or your cat just wants a playmate, I’ve got it covered. Caring for animals isn’t something I have to “make time for”—it’s already woven into my daily rhythm. Each day, I start and end with time spent outdoors, which makes dog walking and playtime a natural part of my schedule. I plan my mornings and evenings around walks, meals, and check-ins, and I keep my afternoons flexible for drop-ins or longer adventures. When I come to your home, my priority is keeping your pet comfortable in their own environment. I follow your instructions closely—feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, and special quirks are all respected. I keep things tidy, give them plenty of attention, and send you updates so you know they’re well cared for. Pets feel secure because they get to stay in the space they know best, while still getting all the affection and companionship they need.
About: I have extensive professional experience caring for cats in both shelter and home settings, including fearful, undersocialized, and high-stress cats. My background includes reading feline body language, reducing stress during care, supporting cats through environmental changes, and providing individualized routines that respect each cat’s comfort level. I am experienced with shy, hiding, defensive, and overstimulated cats, and I prioritize low-stress handling, consent-based interaction, and predictable care. My approach focuses on creating a calm environment where cats feel safe, secure, and respected rather than forced into interaction.
About: I've had a dog all of my life! some have come and gone but the one who was my rock was my dog savé, she was my best friend! she passed in 2018 but there's not a moment I don't think of her! Since I do have a history of dogs, I do think I would be a perfect fit for caring for your dog/s! I also am very good with cats! My family calls me a cat whisperer because of how I make friends with them so easily! I am currently in my senior year of highschool, so my schedule should be completely free after 3! I am free any day of the week! I will treat your pet as if they are my own, and yes that means talking in a voice! I have such a big heart for animals and will do anything for them!
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 8 years old. I have 4 dogs and 2 cats right now, 4/5 of my pets are rescued animals. Two of my dogs have been to obedience classes and get along well with other animals. The other two are still a puppies. I’m very active and love walking and running the dogs on a daily basis. I currently work full time however work from home at my convenience. I am flexible for the most part and will work around your schedule and needs. I have a fenced in yard and live on over 5 acres. I enjoy walking and/or running with the dogs. My husband and my son love animals and will give them so much love and attention.
“Caroline is truly one of a kind. She watched my two cats again after a couple years, and they immediately remembered her — which says everything. She just gets them. Her updates were hilarious and detailed (like full-on storytime from the cats’ point of view) and honestly made my whole trip better. It’s so rare to find someone who treats your pets like their own, but that’s exactly what she does. She gave them the same love, attention, and cuddles I would — probably more. I never had to worry once. I came home to happy cats, a spotless house, clean sheets, and the feeling that my cats had just had the best little staycation ever. She’s thoughtful, dependable, funny, and just genuinely wonderful to work with. If you’re lucky enough to book her — do it. My cats (and I) absolutely adore her.”
About: We’ve always had cats around us as long as I remember, whether it being pets or taking care of strays. I always feel like cats are so unique and I love caring for them! I always want to make sure they feel loved and cared for no matter what. I’m especially good with keeping them clean and I’ll always remember the times they’re fed!
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine passion for dogs and my extensive experience in providing exceptional care. With over 3 1/2 years of employment at a reputable dog kennel, I've honed my skills in understanding canine behavior and ensuring their well-being. As an experienced walker, I am equipped to provide your furry friend with the exercise and attention they deserve. Whether it's a leisurely stroll or an energetic romp in the park, I tailor each walk to suit your dog's individual needs and energy level. Moreover, my track record of caring for dogs of all ages and sizes speaks to my versatility and adaptability. From playful puppies to wise seniors, I've handled them all with patience, kindness, and expertise. Additionally, I've provided house sitting services for family friends and coworkers, further demonstrating my reliability and trustworthiness. When you entrust your beloved companion to my care, you can rest assured that they will receive the utmost love, attention, and respect. I am committed to ensuring their happiness and well-being, making me the ideal choice for your pet-sitting needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, especially as a college student. I prioritize my furry friend's needs by dedicating my weekends entirely to them. With my flexible schedule, I am available all day Saturday and Sunday, ensuring ample time for walks, playtime, grooming, and cuddles. Additionally, during winter break, I have even more availability to shower my pet with attention and care. Whether it's keeping them company, maintaining their health with regular check-ups, or simply enjoying each other's company, I make sure my pet receives the love and care they deserve, integrating them into my life in the best possible way. In both my own home and when providing services at clients' residences, the safety and well-being of pets are my utmost priority. As an avid pet lover myself, I recognize that each furry companion is an integral part of the family. With this understanding, I wholeheartedly commit to ensuring their safety and happiness. I approach pet care with the same level of diligence and affection as I do with my own pets. Whether it's in my home or a client's, I create a nurturing environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. From providing regular walks and play sessions to administering medications or following specific dietary requirements, I tailor my care to meet each pet's unique needs. Rest assured, your beloved pet will receive the same level of attention and affection as if they were my own. By treating them with the utmost respect, care, and love, I strive to build a trusting relationship with both the pets and their owners, ensuring peace of mind for all involved.

Retired from my chosen career path now full-time homemaker. I currently watch our two pups and we would love a new friend to play with! I have a nice, big fenced backyard, and a fenced in front porch. My current dogs go out about every 2-3 hours during the day, but I can adhere to your dogs schedule if different. I often spend lots of time outside with my dogs, playing, and hanging out enjoying the day.
“As a first time user of Rover we were a little nervous but Kristin was great answering our questions and caring for our puppy for the day. He went on multiple walks, the photos were nice, and knowing he was with people and not by himself for the day was the best. He slept like a baby that night too which we appreciated! Thank you!!”
About: I own and care for a 3 year-old medium goldendoodle. He is energetic and always ready to play with any dog or human around. I have 2 years of dog training experience, including basic obedience training, and basic trick training. I grew up with a Brittany, so I am very familiar with the personalities and instincts of hunting breeds as well. I stay at home with my one year old son, so I am available during the week days, and for extended stays/overnight boarding. We would love to care for your dog! I have a fenced in yard for the dogs to run. I will provide your dog’s food and any medicines or care routines on your provided schedule, to maintain your dog’s familiar routine while in a new environment. I am flexible with your dog’s preferred sleeping arrangements— I have a large crate and a medium sized crate available if your dog is a crate sleeper, but my dog is allowed on furniture, so I will provide whatever your dog prefers. Family-friendly, non-aggressive, fairly sociable dogs are preferred, no age preferences or restrictions. My toddler LOVES dogs and will certainly run up to hug or pet the dog.
“Aparajita was absolutely wonderful! This was a last-minute booking, and she was incredibly responsive, kind, and accommodating. She was so sweet with Dexter and clearly made him feel loved and comfortable right away. She kept us updated with so many fun photos and videos of Dexter playing and having a great time with her two bigger dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear he was having an amazing time and was being cared for like one of her own. We are so grateful for her excellent communication, flexibility, and loving care. We highly recommend Aparajita to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
“Catherine and Hubby are a wonderful team. They both love animals and they take such good care of my fur baby, just like she's their own. If you need care I highly recommend THEM!”
“Sabrina and her family were awesome, they were so good to Oliver and I know he had a blast because he came home and immediately passed out for the rest of the night! I definitely recommend Sabrina for all your pup watching needs!”
“Tim and Kasia were amazing with our Oliver! We were nervous to leave him for the first time since adopting him, he’s goes to work with us every day and he rides with us nearly everywhere but our daughters play sports and we have long weekend days away from home. They sent videos of him running around with the other dogs playing and having a blast, which was great to see because he’s a total couch potato at home. When my husband picked him up he acted like he didn’t want to leave which is out of character for Oliver because he’s usually glued to us 24/7! He loved being there and they will be our first choice whenever we need care for Oliver.”
About: My wife and I have been taking care of our dog and foster dogs for the past 6 years. We've taken care of dogs ranging in size of French bulldogs to Siberian huskies. We have experience with high maintenance dogs and giving medications as well. My wife and I currently work from home and have plenty of time to play and take care of your pups. During the week boarding availability is best in the evening after 5 but accommodations can be made if needed. Weekends are 100% free and open. I have a larger fenced in yard and great neighborhood for plenty of walks. I can easily crate your dog if needed as well. We have plenty of different dog toys and beds throughout the house too.
“Tara and her family provided a wonderful, safe, and caring daycare environment for my two small dogs. She is professional, kind, and thoughtful. I scheduled her right away to board my two dogs for an upcoming weekend trip.”
“We’re so happy we found Arlissa to care for our Aubie. Great communication from booking through drop off and pickup. Arlissa’s front porch is fenced and gated, her yard is an “amusement park” for dogs. We appreciate the photos and comments while Aubie was in her care. Arlissa truly cares for the welfare of a “fur baby” in her care. If we travel through here again, we would use her services without hesitation.”
“Rachel took such good care of my dog. Millie got lots of love and attention throughout the whole day. Rachel kept me updated and sent me lots of pictures. I HIGHLY recommend her for your pet needs.”
“Erin was amazing! It was my first time leaving my dogs at a home and they transitioned perfectly. Erin is so kind and was great with my fur babies. You can tell she has a serving heart and a love for animals. I was also excited for my pups to get some play time with her dogs as my boy is a little timid. We took him to a dog park soon after and he wasn't scared to say hello to other dogs his size. That was so awesome! Thanks again Erin!”
“We adore Stephanie and Aspen has the best time with her! She’s so great with keeping us updated and our dog gets so excited to visit and be a house guest! Thanks for always welcoming our girl!”
About: I have spent a lifetime caring for my own pets as well as rescuing animals. I think pets are an extremely important part of my livelihood and good mental health so I understand that your pet is an integral part of your family as well. I also understand that I am a guest in your pets home and will treat your home with the utmost respect and privacy. I am a mom, a wife and an Air Force veteran and I understand that schedules change due to work, family needs, and sickness. Being a stay at home mom with school age children allows me to be flexible and reliable. I also received my OH-EMT Intermediate medic training at WPAFB while serving in the military. I am very comfortable administering medications and any treatments. As of 2023 I also obtained my Instructor Animal CPR and First Aide Instructor Certification. I am a full time pet care specialist/trainer. I specialize with dogs that have anxiety disorders that can show themselves as aggressive behaviors which I believe are actually unmet needs. Starting April 4, 2024 we begin construction on a fenced in yard so we can provide day training/daycare while you are at work and boarding!

About: My furbabies are extremely important to me, so I understand how important they must be to you! We currently have 2 dogs, 4 cats, and a rabbit. I have had dogs for 25 years and cats for my entire life. I have fostered over 50 cats in the last ten years, and I have fostered, boarded, and cared for many dogs besides my own. I also have experience with a slew of other animals, including ferrets, guinea pigs, snakes, lizards, fish, and horses. I am currently waiting for my Master's in Social Work program to start again, so I have too much free time on my hands. I would love to use it to meet your pets! I enjoy working with animals to give them the enrichment they want to have so they can be the happiest they can possibly be in whatever environment they're in. Visits will always include lots of affection and playtime, with a little training slipped into their games.
About: I have been taking care of pets for 10 years now. My passion for animals boosted in 2013 when I started helping a nonprofit animal rescue. Since then I have fostered animals, became a pet sitter for past fosters and worked in animal care. I’m currently a full-time student at the University of Cincinnati, but have flexibility throughout the day to provide the best care for your babies. I am available most weekends as well. I will treat your pet with the respect and love they deserve. I provide care at the pace your furry friend is comfortable with, to ensure they have the best care possible.

About: I was born an animal lover. From growing up with a family dog to volunteering at the Humane Society to working as an Equine Therapy Intern, I have experience caring for animals of all kinds. Animals are a very important part of my life and always will be. I recently graduated from college and moved back home to save up for grad school. As of right now, I am fully available to care for your pets any time! The most important thing about pet care for me is taking the time to build a relationship with them. Just like us, every animal has their own personality, quirks, and boundaries. It takes way more than just taking them on a walk or letting them outside to build trust and truly care for them the way they deserve to be cared for.
About: I'm currently studying to become a certified dog trainer through Animal Behavior College, with additional certification to work specifically with shelter and rescue animals. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and those needing a little extra patience and care. What sets me apart is my passion for every part of pet care—from training and enrichment to comfort and fun. I also run a small pet business where I make homemade dog treats, leashes, bandanas, and more. Whether we're out for a walk, snuggling during a stay, or working on basic manners, I make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved like one of my own. I work part-time at a bank, but outside of that, my schedule is very flexible. I have plenty of time during the week and weekends to dedicate to pet care, whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, boarding, or overnight stays. I make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve! Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, pets have a clean, cozy, and secure space where they can relax and feel at ease. I provide plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles, and I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep things consistent and stress-free. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them like family—paying close attention to their needs, behaviors, and preferences. I'm also trained in reading canine body language and am working toward certification in dog training and shelter care, so I'm confident handling dogs of all temperaments with patience and care.
About: I think it’s very important that dogs get their daily exercise! It’s always a bonus for treats. They need their playtime and I ensure they are happy! I would like the flexibility to be able to care for dogs after my full time job Monday through Friday. Mostly evenings will be beneficial for me. I think dogs deserve to be loved and shown attention! I ensure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t eat and that they are shown affection as well.

About: I will make sure your dog is well nurtured and taken care of, even if it’s just a walk your dog will have the best time! I’m currently in school online so my schedule is mainly open any time after 12! As for weekends I’m Available as well in the mornings or evenings. I always make sure when I’m in a clients home to text them and let them know that I’m there, just so they have peace of mind that I’m there with their doggy and that they are feed, taken out, and loved.
About: I bring extensive professional experience in animal care and behavior, including years in shelter leadership and hands-on behavior work with fearful, anxious, and reactive animals. My background includes behavior assessment, stress reduction, enrichment planning, and individualized care for dogs who struggle with transitions, confinement, or unfamiliar people. I am especially comfortable working with dogs who need structure, patience, and clear communication rather than force or correction. I prioritize low stress handling, predictable routines, and meeting dogs where they are emotionally, not just physically. My goal is always to keep animals safe, supported, and understood while their people are away. I maintain a flexible, well-managed schedule that allows me to accommodate a wide range of client needs, including weekdays, weekends, and varying visit times, with appropriate advance notice. I care for pets by balancing structure with relationship-building. I focus on creating predictable routines, clear communication, and calm expectations while also prioritizing rapport, confidence, and emotional safety. I pay close attention to body language and stress signals and adjust care in real time to meet each pet where they are emotionally. Rather than forcing compliance, I help animals work through fear, overstimulation, or uncertainty at a pace they can handle. Whether in my home or a client’s home, my goal is to create a low-stress environment where pets feel safe, understood, and supported, which allows genuine progress and trust to develop. My pets at home enjoy structure along with play and lots of quiet time. My dog, Albany, enjoys finding hidden treats in a fenced backyard. My three cats, Duchess, Wanda, and Addie, enjoy plenty of naps, wand toy play time, and many hours of cuddling and watching tv.
About: I have grown up with a dog my whole life. I worked as a kennel care tech for 4 Paws for Ability for a year. This is a program that trains dogs to be used as special service dogs. I recently graduated from the University of Dayton with a Bachelor's Degree in Marketing. I am doing freelance work which allows me lots of extra free time. I thought this would be the perfect way to fulfill that missing part of my life. I have an 85 pound Shiloh Shepherd and a 90 pound golden lab that I recently adopted from 4 Paws for Ability. My grandma started a dog walking business and I grew up helping her out with the dogs, so I am used to all kinds of dogs. I am friendly and easy-going. I have flexible hours for the most part. I love working out and would not mind walking/running with your dog as needed. My Shepherd takes daily anxiety medication and thunderstorm medication when needed, so I am comfortable giving medication as well. I am doing freelance work which allows me lots of extra free time. I am available mornings, afternoons, and nights, Monday-Friday. Most weekends I am available. I will mark on my calendar days that I am not available in advanced and will always keep that up to date. I love working out and would not mind walking/running with your dog as needed. I will not be having dogs or cats stay at my house or doing house stays due to my shepherd not being friendly towards other dogs

Bailey was there less than 24 hours, but Haley sent us several pictures of her and provided an update of how the stay was going. I would absolutely recommend her and look forward to booking with her again!!”

About: I have experience with many breeds and ages, and have been the primary carer for our current two dogs since birth. What can I say dogs just like me . Retired from my chosen career path now full-time homemaker. I currently watch our two pups and we would love a new friend to play with! I have a nice, big fenced backyard, and a fenced in front porch. My current dogs go out about every 2-3 hours during the day, but I can adhere to your dogs schedule if different. I often spend lots of time outside with my dogs, playing, and hanging out enjoying the day.
