“Normally when we travel our German Shepherd stays with friends that love her like their own, however this trip they were busy so I turned to rover.com to find the perfect fit for our wonderful dog and that is exactly what we found in Kristi. She let us come visit prior to boarding, she kept in touch, sent texts and a video while we were gone, and she cared for our dog just as we hoped for. We will absolutely use Kristi again when we travel and recommend her 150%”
“Michelle is an amazing and caring dog sitter. She worked with me as my dates changed which helped me a great deal. She's also well knowledgeable about dog's behavior. I will hire her again for my dog, Josie.”
“Kayla provided excellent dog boarding services. We received texts and photos to keep us informed of how our dog was doing. She understands dogs and has a system to keep them apart if they don't get along with hers. We knew our 'Teddy' loved staying there when we picked him up. Will definitely the next time we're passing through the area.”
“Lisa was amazing. I received daily updates with pictures, which calmed my nerves since Bailey never said with anyone but family. I will definitely use her again and will recommend her to anybody that needs a dog sitter”
“Christine and her husband were very nice and took amazing care of olli!! They watched him over our wedding weekend and brought him on the day of to let him be in pictures!! we couldn’t have asked for anyone better!! They sent pictures everyday and kept us updated.”
“Ashlee is a wonderful person. She seemed to bond with my dog, Buddy right away. At pick up, Buddy was happy and looked like he had a good time! I would definitely book with her again! 😄”
“Hillary and her family took great care of our Phoebe! Our anxious girl, was treated with kindness and had an uneventful stay. Scheduling, drop-off and pick-up were a breeze. We will use Hillary again should the need arise.”
“Paige was an excellent caretaker, communicator, and she was even very flexible when we needed to add a day! Our pup had playmates and she came up with ideas to keep him happy and fulfilled while we were gone. Even gave me an idea or two! We appreciate how well she cared for our pup, and we would book again!”
About: Hi there, my name is Kristen and I have a slight dog obsession. November 2024 started year four of me owning and operating a pet care company that is listed as an LLC in Ohio, and I have loved every single second of it! While on a walk your dog will be my sole focus. I will be sure to select a different route (if possible) during each walk to help them get familiar with their area, but to also help stimulate their brain with the different scents. If you have multiple dogs that need to be walked separately, for any reason, I will rotate my routes so that each dog is exploring a different area instead of where their fur sibling just was. I am happy to go as fast paced, or as leisurely as Fido wants to take our time together. My typical drop-in (play date) visit consists of the following: enter and greet your beloved furkid who will be totally excited to see me (hello treats!- only if it's okay with you first), and then take them outside to potty. While outside I am happy to play fetch, or any other activity they're interested in. Once we come back in I check the water/food situation, and am happy to take care of any medical needs that may be required at this time from giving pills to injections. There's time for a snuggle, or a game, and then it's one last potty break before I head out for the morning or afternoon. I send detailed Rover cards after every visit, and will include as many photos as possible. Dog walking/pet sitting is my passion and full time career. Even while having a steady schedule I have the flexibility that allows me to get to your VIP quickly while maintaining a high level of quality care for all of the animals I care for. From how your pets eat their meals, to sleeping arrangements I try to keep things as normal as possible for them. During my time with your pet they have my undivided attention.
“Hatsuki is the sweetest and kindest sitter I’ve ever had! Gizmo was very happy, I could tell he was well loved and taken care of by all the amazing photos and updates she provided. I am extremely grateful for the genuine care and kindness! Thank you!”
“We have booked with them twice now and it’s been amazing both times! One of my dogs never likes anyone but my husband and I, but was sleeping on top of Ashleigh and Bill and cuddling with them during their stay so I know they’re very well taken care of.”
“Bill was amazing! He helped me out last minute when it didn’t work out with a sitter and I had to travel the next day. He had a great fenced in yard and quiet neighborhood so I felt at ease having Ni Ni there. Bill sent updates and took wonderful care of her. Will definitely book again!”
“Lydia is absolutely amazing! Her home is clean, welcoming and was ready to board our dog overnight. We really appreciate her and our dog returned home happy! We will be using Lydia from now on.”
“Nate and Whitney were one of the greatest first experiences to have using the rover app they took such good care of us and constantly gave us updates as to anything that was going on. They will definitely be my first choice the next time I use the service 10 out of 10.”
“Jordan , Is Very professional and responsive she sent pictures and provided several updates. We will definitely be using Jordan and her family again greatly appreciate your help. Thank you”
About: We are both retired and love to take care of dogs. We have a five acre farm with 1/2 acre fenced in yard. Our beagle is always happy to have visitors. We are both retired educators so we have plenty of time to dedicate to your babies! We are empty-nesters so your pets will be our children while they are in our home. We live in the country and have a large fenced backyard. We treat our dog like a loving child. We both love having dogs visit and take delicate care of other dogs.
“Greg was great with our special needs Yorkie-mix, Bella. He really got to know her helped to make her stay comfortable and enjoyable. She also really enjoyed the beef-carrot dog treat Greg made. He sent photos/videos of Bella to keep us updated. We’d definitely have him and his family watch Bella again!”

“Emma was wonderful with my cat while I was away! She made notes every day about how she was doing, and made sure to always update me with pictures and videos. Will 100% rebook her in the future!”
“Taylor was an amazing sitter for our 2 dogs and cat. We had a stressful and emotional wedding get away and knowing the pets we're in good hands was a huge relief. Her check ins went exactly by the schedule we planned and she provided several photos at each visit. She quickly responded to any questions I had during our time away. We are excited to have her close by and available to help in the future!!”
“Kaitlin paid excellent attention to details of the cleanliness and the keeping of my house and my cat Maisey. This is the second time she has stated our house and she will definitely be a due over.”
“You can count on Brooklyn to give your precious fur babies TLC. Our two adult male cats took to Brooklyn instantly. She truly is a kind and gentle animal lover who you can trust in your home while you’re away. We had total peace of mind while we were out-of-town knowing Brooklyn was our sitter. Highly recommended.”
“Lillian is super friendly and kind, and Stuart loves her which is so important! She's definitely a great animal person and it's such a huge relief to have somebody so nice to check in on the little guy while we're out of town. I'm sure he appreciated her visit as much as we did! She's very communicative and sent us a bunch of pictures as well. Will definitely be hiring her again in the future!”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my strong focus on cats and kittens and my ability to create a calm, low-stress environment that helps them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, starting with pets belonging to family and friends, and much of that experience has been with cats of all personalities—from shy and independent to playful and social. I have experience caring for kittens who need extra attention, including help with litter training, establishing routines, and providing safe, engaging play to support healthy development. I’m also comfortable caring for adult and senior cats, including administering basic medications, monitoring behavior and appetite, and making adjustments to keep them comfortable as they age. I understand that cats can be sensitive to change, so I prioritize keeping their routines consistent, respecting their boundaries, and earning their trust at their own pace. I pay close attention to details like feeding schedules, litter box cleanliness, and subtle changes in behavior that could signal stress or discomfort. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your cat is doing. My goal is to make sure your cat feels secure, cared for, and relaxed while you’re away—just like you never left.
“Connie did an excellent job caring for our 3 heathens (Flokie, Milly, & LoLo). She gave our old man, Flokie, all his medications as needed and she successfully made it through the distributions of all three's 'special dinner toppings' as I asked her to. She communicated very well and I highly recommend her. Thank you so much, Connie!”
About: I have had my dog since I was 8 yrs old I am 18 now and I’ve trained her to do almost anything. I am very patient with animals I let them get used to me and comfortable before I do anything. I now have 2 dogs both smaller. I cared for a large dog for a year he was over 100 pounds. super sweet and loving he was my best friend. Unfortunately I had to move and I couldn’t bring him with me I miss him very much, so I am a big fan of larger dogs. I am currently working 2 jobs 1 every weekend Friday-Sunday. The other job is part time on either Mondays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays. My work schedule isn’t set permanently so I get most weekdays off. I am currently living with roommates so I will have to come to your residence, but that is not a problem for me especially since the pet will already be comfortable with the environment. When I meet a new pet I am very patient with them I will let them come to me to be sure they are okay with me being in their territory.
“We were lucky to find a cat sitter that lives nearby. It makes booking on short notice easy. Aliece followed instructions, sent plenty of pictures which I love, and even swept up the litter. Will definitely book with her in the future.”
About: I keep an open communication with complete honesty with the owners, I love interacting with the animals and love getting the chance to get to know them with love and affection Every week is different for me so I’d like to keep an open communication with anyone and everyone. So when someone needs my services I’ll keep open communication with honesty. I will feed, water, give treats, let them use the bathroom, and interact/play with the animals for a short time to with the best of my abilities.
About: I’ve loved and taken care of animals for as long as I remember! My parents used to call me the animal whisperer and I used to take care of all the neighborhood animals while their families were away growing up. I am constantly around animals and taking care of them. I’m comfortable around any sort of pet and i’m willing to learn how to best take care of your animal! I’ve always grown up around animals and I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats, one cat needing special attention for her medications, so i’m prepared for any special treatment!
“Maura accepted our last-minute request to provide drop-in care for our cats and bird when an unexpected trip came up. We trusted her from our first meeting with her and she did a great job! She communicated with us and sent photos from every visit. We will definitely reach out to her when we need to travel again!”
“Angela takes good care of Oliver and communicates well so I feel good about leaving him in her care. I recommend her highly. I appreciate finding her after moving to the Troy area.”
About: I am currently working as a dog bather and graduated from MVCTC Animal Care and Management. I have experience in small animals and basic training.

“Hillary was an absolutely fantastic dog sitter. From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely cares about animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. She was reliable, communicative, and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. Hillary went above and beyond to make sure all routines were followed and that our dog received plenty of attention and love. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog sitter.”
“Angela is fantastic with my pups. I have always had family watch them during the day, but a change in jobs left me anxious to find the right spot for them. I know they are well cared for at her place. It’s such a peace of mind knowing someone is taking good care of your pups! I would highly recommend her services!”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my strong experience working with dogs and puppies of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, starting with pets belonging to family and friends, which helped me build a solid foundation of hands-on experience with dogs in everyday home environments. I’m especially comfortable with puppies and understand the patience and consistency they need while learning routines like potty training, crate training, leash walking, and basic commands. I also enjoy helping reinforce positive behaviors through structure, repetition, and lots of encouragement. For adult dogs, I adapt easily to their personality—whether they are high-energy and need plenty of exercise or more relaxed and prefer a calm routine. I also have experience with senior dogs who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, and extra attention to comfort and mobility. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements, and behavioral cues, so they feel secure and understood while in my care. My goal is always to create a safe, trusting environment where dogs feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially with my availability in the afternoons and evenings. Since I work part time, I have ample time during the day to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I enjoy spending my evenings going on walks, which would make it easy and consistent for me to provide daily exercise and outdoor time. I also look forward to using my free time for play, feeding, and bonding activities that help build trust and comfort with pets. In my home or a client’s home, I provide pet care with consistency, attentiveness, and respect for the animal’s routine and comfort level. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medication instructions if needed, and any specific preferences the owner provides. I make sure pets always have fresh water, regular meals, and a clean, safe environment. I prioritize daily exercise and enrichment through walks, playtime, and interaction suited to the pet’s age, energy level, and personality. I also focus on building trust through calm, patient handling and positive attention. In a client’s home, I am mindful of maintaining the space exactly as instructed, keeping things clean and secure, and making sure the pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I understand the importance of routine, so I do my best to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible for the pet while their owner is away. Overall, my approach is to care for each pet as if they were my own—providing reliable, loving, and responsible care tailored to their individual needs

I am constantly around animals and taking care of them. I’m comfortable around any sort of pet and i’m willing to learn how to best take care of your animal! I love walks, hikes, or taking a trip to a dog park of some sort! I’ve always grown up around animals and I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats, one cat needing special attention for her medications, so i’m prepared for any special treatment! I’m currently in nursing school whilst also bartending a couple nights during the week but I have plenty of free time and I’m very flexible! I have 3 very playful dogs and 2 mellow cats, one needing special care for her medications so I’m always vigilant to any kind of specific care that your animals may need.

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. I love animals and have pet sat for friends and family in their home so as not to stress out their animals. I am happy to either pet sit at your home or take care of your pet at mine. Either way, they will get excellent care. I work from home so I have the ability to work from anywhere as long as there is Wi-Fi. My work schedule is also fairly flexible if need be. I have a fenced in yard and a loving pup who would welcome a playmate. I also can sit in your home as I work from home.
“Kayla and her husband were so welcoming and careful with our puppies! You can tell right away Kayla genuinely cares for making our puppies feel at home with her and her family. Murray and Rio surely had a great time at Kayla’s home. I’m beyond grateful for having found someone to care for our puppies when we’re away. Thank you so much for having our puppies at your home, Kayla! And thanks for taking care of them as if they were your own. It means the world to me!”
“Aubrey really helped us out with last minute daycare after a death in our family. Our dog Maggie got along well with her two terriers. She updated me with pictures and texts through out the day. Thank you Aubrey!”
“I was coming to a Dayton Ohio for work and I was bringing my mini golden doodle pup along. I needed someone trustworthy to watch my baby boy, Arlo. I came across Katherine’s profile and immediately had that instinct that she was the one 😊 she was accommodating to my over protective mommy needs and agreed to hop on a zoom call with me beforehand. She was warm, nice and kind. It also helped she has 3 adorable little fur baby girls too. For the 4 days I was here for work she would take care of Arlo for me all day. She was extremely responsive and would send me pictures and videos all day without me even having to ask. She has a nice big fenced in backyard that Arlo loved running around freely in all day. Each evening I would pick him up he was exhausted from having fun playing all day. (His besty was her dog, Vanilla) 😊 I cannot recommend Katherine enough. She made my experience great and worry free. Thank you so much for taking great care of Arlo.”
“Jeanie was so sweet and excited to have my senior pup! She sent me a couple pictures and an update to ease my mind dropping him off somewhere new. Xavier did great at her house and I could tell he was very comfortable with her when I picked him up. I’m super thankful to have found her in a pinch. Now, I know I can drop him off again!”
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!
“Elya sent plenty of pictures of the stay, my sam looked genuinely happy as he was receiving all the belly scratches he could ask for, was flexible with pickup and drop off day of as I was not sure when I originally booked, she followed my care instruction to a T has been one of my best rover sitters yet will definitely use again!

About: Started working with dogs when I was in my early twenties. I stated out as a dog bather and pet care at Petsmart. I then started spending my free time at Sunrise Sanctuary taking care of their rescued livestock. The job that taught me so much was being a dog warden. I learned how to handle emergency calls but also took care of the dogs at the shelter. I work a fun and open schedule so I have more flexibility on dog or cat sitting time frame. My dogs wake me up bright and early at 5am and going to bed around 10pm. So I’m able to check in on dogs within that big time frame. I have a 6 foot wooden privacy fence that I will allow my dogs to go outside in for potty breaks to the dogs playing in the puppy pool. Dogs will not unattended while in the yard.
“Taylor has been fantastic. We have used her for the past couple weeks with no problems. Great communication and I know the dogs love seeing her when she comes. We will continue to use her as long as she continues to want to help us. Thank you Taylor.”
“Emma was great with our dogs, however. We met with her prior to booking so we could get to know her and our dogs could meet her as well. We spoke about the time being 12noon and that was not a problem. The first day (Monday) she was here on time, the next 3 days she arrived at 1pm. 1 hr later then discussed. Then Friday morning she texted us stating she was stuck at a house she was cleaning and was not gonna be able to make it. My wife had to rush from work in Sidney to take them out, then rush back. Keep in mind we had already paid for the entire week.”
About: I've worked at a doggy day care from 2023-2025 and only stopped because I moved to Ohio from out of state. I have limited puppy training experience, and a good understanding of dog and cat behavior. I also have reptile experience as I owned a California King Snake before moving. Available Monday through Friday from 10am-3:30pm. Saturday from 9am-12pm. I am currently taking time away from working, so I have plenty of time to spend helping take care of your pets! And I will treat every animal with the same level of compassion and respect, because I know that they are more than just animals you live with. I am always alert and watching the mood of animals, so I will be able to ensure they are safe and get along. Crating or separating if needed. And I can help with administering medications.

We don't allow dogs on furniture but cover the furniture for animals trained that way to reduce stress on trying to keep them down. In your home, routine is maintained and extra treats given, time outside is always encouraged for high energy and down time is enforced when bad behavior is being modified
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, other than my own dogs I have been a pet sitter for friends / family for 5+ years. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. I’ve had multiple litters of puppies and breeds all the way from chihuahuas to great danes ! I’m currently unemployed so I have plenty of free time on my hands ! I can work with any schedule that fits you best ! I have five dogs myself! We have 7 acres we let them run free on, but if we do go in public they are always on leashes. I can 100% trust them but you never know with other animals so just a safety hazard ! I’ve cared for dogs with fenced in yards and without so I’m fine with either !
About: I grew up working at a farm. We had many dogs, cats, and barn animals as well as guinea pigs, chinchillas, rabbits, birds, and fish. Throughout my life I have shadowed multiple veterinarians, volunteered at rescues, and cared for many other people’s animals and kids! I have attended college for Equestrian Studies too. Caring for animals has always been my greatest passion and I can’t wait to put it to good use by helping you and your animal out when the time calls! Caring for animals is my passions and therefore my full time job. I work a little online from home as well but never when it is taking time away from pet care. Away from home care: In my home I usually have other animals so, if you need care outside your home your pet must be potty trained, vaccinated and good with cats and dogs. We have leads for dogs outside and a large yard. No kennels provided, if you’d like your dog in a kennel, call a boarding facility. Your animal would be staying in a clean and safe bedroom/bathroom area with 24/7 supervision as well as a comfortable bed that is changed after every pet’s stay. They will be taken outside for at least 30 minutes, 4 times a day. You will need to provide food for your pet. In Home Care: If providing in home care for your pet all services are provided from walking and playtime to feeding and training. I also give bathes and brushing. Lots of love is of course always a part of my services as well. The schedule of it is up to you! I can do drop in visits any day of the week but only house sit on the weekend (Fri-Sun). I like to make sure I have plenty of time to spend with my own animals while also serving you. *Care In My Home* If you provide a crate and want me to use it I will but I usually just have your pet hang out with me around the house - it is all pet proof as I have many cats and a dog. If your pet doesn’t like other animals they are welcome to stay in my bedroom as a safe haven. I will be sure to hang out with them lots throughout the day if they are in there. I have a large fenced in backyard and leads for dogs. They are always supervised while outside. I only serve one pet family at a time so your animals won’t be exposed to any other animals other than my own. I do not provide care in my home to cats. *Care In Your Home* I will be with your pet for at least 2 hours at a time twice a day in addition to the evening and morning (10pm-10am) full time. I can bathe, brush, train, walk, and give lots of love at no extra charge!

Overall, my approach is to care for each pet as if they were my own—providing reliable, loving, and responsible care tailored to their individual needs
About: What sets me apart is the amount of genuine care, patience, and attention I give to every pet. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals, and I treat them like family while they’re with me. I previously owned a husky, so I’m familiar with caring for high-energy dogs that need structure, exercise, and lots of engagement. I’m also very attentive to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether they’re playful, shy, young, or older. I always aim to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for both pets and their owners. Hi! I’m an animal lover and expecting my first baby girl in June, so I’m looking for a reliable and flexible way to earn income while spending precious time with my little one. I’ve always loved being around dogs and would love to help with walking, drop-ins, or pet sitting. I’m dependable, caring, patient, and will treat your pets like family 🤍 I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home tidy and provide updates/photos for peace of mind.
About: I've had and taken care of animals since before I can remember. I've taken care of multiple elder dogs and being careful to give them their correct care. I have also recently got a puppy of my own who I have been working on to correct his behaviors. I am currently unemployed and have a lot of free time to dedicate to people's animals. I have my own car as well so I should be able to make it anywhere, anytime. I look for the animals comfortable spot and learn what toys they like the most. I spend as much time as the animal wants enjoying their company and playing fetch with their favorite toy.
About: I have had my dog since I was 8 yrs old I am 18 now and I’ve trained her to do almost anything. I am very patient with animals I let them get used to me and comfortable before I do anything. I now have 2 dogs both smaller. I cared for a large dog for a year he was over 100 pounds. super sweet and loving he was my best friend. Unfortunately I had to move and I couldn’t bring him with me I miss him very much, so I am a big fan of larger dogs. I am currently working 2 jobs 1 every weekend Friday-Sunday. The other job is part time on either Mondays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays. My work schedule isn’t set permanently so I get most weekdays off. I am currently living with roommates so I will have to come to your residence, but that is not a problem for me especially since the pet will already be comfortable with the environment. When I meet a new pet I am very patient with them I will let them come to me to be sure they are okay with me being in their territory.
About: I’ve loved and taken care of animals for as long as I remember! My parents used to call me the animal whisperer and I used to take care of all the neighborhood animals while their families were away growing up. I am constantly around animals and taking care of them. I’m comfortable around any sort of pet and i’m willing to learn how to best take care of your animal! I love walks, hikes, or taking a trip to a dog park of some sort! I’ve always grown up around animals and I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats, one cat needing special attention for her medications, so i’m prepared for any special treatment! I’m currently in nursing school whilst also bartending a couple nights during the week but I have plenty of free time and I’m very flexible! I have 3 very playful dogs and 2 mellow cats, one needing special care for her medications so I’m always vigilant to any kind of specific care that your animals may need. I’d love to spend more time outside this summer but I also love a couch potato!
About: I have 10+ years of experience in caring for dogs and absolutely adore animals (especially dogs)! I have 2 dogs, one a rescue and they are my entire world, and I would love to bring that energy to your sweet fur baby! I have house sat for several pets over the years as well as checked in, walked, and played with to ensure enrichment and that they don't get lonely! I would love the opportunity to help you care for your sweet creatures! I have a very flexible schedule and am available at most hours of the day and just about any day of the week, to check in on your furbaby! In my home, my dogs are my world. They are played with and walked each day, they have a structured diet, and they are ALWAYS allowed to snuggle on the couch (although I respect if this is not the case in your home)! I greet my dogs and other pets with love and joy. I ensure water is always available, and that they have access to the window so that they can watch outside while I am away. I firmly believe in using all of these when taking care of any pet!
About: I have experience with all dogs big and small. I have a Bernese Mountain Dog, his name is Tucker. He loves all dogs! I have experience sitting for family and friends while they are out of town. We have a fenced in yard for Tucker and his friends. I look forward providing a safe and comfortable stay for your fur babies! I am home full time and can provide accommodations for each dog! I am very flexible and provide daycare and boarding all hours from my home. I have a fenced in yard. My Bernese Mountain dog is Tucker! He is very friendly and loves all dogs. I have a 2 kids 5 & 9 who will love playing with your fur babies to keep them entertained.
About: Ever since I was a child, I was responsible for the care of a variety of animals, and I mean solely responsible. Growing up (and today), I was the one that friends and family came to for pet sitters and care/training advice. I prioritize following pet care instructions to a tee- I do not cut corners on even the most “meticulous” of care instructions. With me, you can trust that your fur babies will receive the highest quality of care and attention because of my intrinsic love for animals. I do this because I love it, not for the money. Currently, I am a dog walker for three dogs, but I would love the opportunity to care for other people’s furry family members on top of that. I am free to walk dogs Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm. I am free to board dogs and cats Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I am free to check in on your furry friends at home pretty much whenever, we can work out the details further when the time comes. - For checking in on pets: When in a client’s home, I am very careful to respect their belongings and privacy. I ensure that I only get into spaces that they instruct me to. *Please be aware: I take my boyfriend with me to house visits for safety precautions, he does not meddle with anything of course, he is just there to ensure my safety (meeting with strangers on the internet is scary, lol.)* - For boarding dogs: *Please be aware: For dogs, I can only care for small puppies. Unfortunately, we have a rescue dog who is reactive to adult dogs due to trauma. But, he is gentle as can be with small puppies and any sort of cats. We also have two cats who are dog friendly, so please ensure that your pup is good with cats* Also, I have a fenced in yard and a whole house for your baby to roam. -For boarding cats: We have two cats here, and though they are fairly cat friendly, I do not intend for them to meet client cats so as to avoid unnecessary stress on my and your cats. So, cats will remain separated. Your cat will be allowed to free roam a certain level of the house for hours, then will be switched out to another level of the house for hours (all while being blocked off from the resident kitties.) Of course, constant supervision will be in place for the entirety of their stay. Your kitty will also sleep in a room with me for the night. - For dog walking: Please provide dog poop bags and, if wanted, any sort of treats you would like for the walk. I require meeting dog walking clients in public places for safety precautions. Also, please let me know of any commands, work, or quirks (chasing after animals, dog aggressive, etc.) that you’d like me to keep in mind for our walks.

“Normally when we travel our German Shepherd stays with friends that love her like their own, however this trip they were busy so I turned to rover.com to find the perfect fit for our wonderful dog and that is exactly what we found in Kristi. She let us come visit prior to boarding, she kept in touch, sent texts and a video while we were gone, and she cared for our dog just as we hoped for. We will absolutely use Kristi again when we travel and recommend her 150%”

She understands dogs and has a system to keep them apart if they don't get along with hers. We knew our 'Teddy' loved staying there when we picked him up. Will definitely the next time we're passing through the area.”

About: Hi there, my name is Kristen and I have a slight dog obsession. November 2024 started year four of me owning and operating a pet care company that is listed as an LLC in Ohio, and I have loved every single second of it! While on a walk your dog will be my sole focus. I will be sure to select a different route (if possible) during each walk to help them get familiar with their area, but to also help stimulate their brain with the different scents. If you have multiple dogs that need to be walked separately, for any reason, I will rotate my routes so that each dog is exploring a different area instead of where their fur sibling just was. I am happy to go as fast paced, or as leisurely as Fido wants to take our time together. My typical drop-in (play date) visit consists of the following: enter and greet your beloved furkid who will be totally excited to see me (hello treats!- only if it's okay with you first), and then take them outside to potty. While outside I am happy to play fetch, or any other activity they're interested in. Once we come back in I check the water/food situation, and am happy to take care of any medical needs that may be required at this time from giving pills to injections. There's time for a snuggle, or a game, and then it's one last potty break before I head out for the morning or afternoon. I send detailed Rover cards after every visit, and will include as many photos as possible. Dog walking/pet sitting is my passion and full time career. Even while having a steady schedule I have the flexibility that allows me to get to your VIP quickly while maintaining a high level of quality care for all of the animals I care for. From how your pets eat their meals, to sleeping arrangements I try to keep things as normal as possible for them. During my time with your pet they have my undivided attention.
“We have booked with them twice now and it’s been amazing both times! One of my dogs never likes anyone but my husband and I, but was sleeping on top of Ashleigh and Bill and cuddling with them during their stay so I know they’re very well taken care of.”
“Lydia is absolutely amazing! Her home is clean, welcoming and was ready to board our dog overnight. We really appreciate her and our dog returned home happy! We will be using Lydia from now on.”
