“Daisy is amazing. I appreciate the communication from beginning to end. I love the photos and videos that were sent every day ensuring me my lil phoenyx was enjoying himself while in her care. Daisy is very responsive and accommodating. I was extremely grateful to find Daisy at the last minute. While this was my first time ever booking within rover.com, Daisy made it an easy and effortless process. I am glad to say that I will be booking again during my next visit to Ohio.”
“Tami was wonderful with our poodle! She was good at communicating with us during our time away, and it was reassuring coming home to an unstressed dog. Thank you, Tami! Hopefully Tami will allow us to share our dog with her again.”
“I appreciated that they were focused on getting Piper to eat since I'd relayed that when she gets anxious (like while I'm away) she tends to not want to eat. They sent well-timed pictures that showed the dogs relaxed by themselves or with one of the family. The stay went well but it was a bit confusing with having both ladies message me answers to the same question.”
“Very happy with Summer's stay. Claudia provided updates and lots of pictures. I could tell Summer had plenty of attention, cuddles, and play time. Summer's bag was packed and ready when we arrived to a happy dog.”
“This was the second time Amber has hosted Ollie for us, and just like the first time, the experience couldn't have been better. Amber took great care of Ollie. He played with and gets along well with her other dogs. He was very tired when he got home, which is an added bonus! Definitely recommend Amber K as your Rover Sitter.”
“Kyri did an excellent job looking after my dog, Milky. She was very attentive and responsible, and she consistently sent me pictures and videos so I could see how he was doing. It was clear he was comfortable, well cared for, and in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and would trust her again with Milky for future boardings.”
“Nicole was a wonderful sitter for my pup. He’s a hyper dog but she was able to calm him down and she even taught him a few tricks. Nicole will be my go to dog sitter from here in out!”
“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”
“Alexis was amazing with our girls. She kept us updated on how they were doing, sent photos and even groomed them. She also gave them homemade treats. They loved her too. We look forward to using her services again.”
“Our bulldogs are return visitors and they absolutely love their vacations with Karen! They get time with other dog friends and Karen provides lots of cuddles and enrichment daily! We appreciate all the pictures and updates!”
“This was my first time booking with Rover and I have a dog who is a bit complex with his feelings towards people. Amber let me bring him for a meet and greet prior to his stay and she was fantastic. She and her husband made me feel very comfortable leaving Koda with them and worked with me as I needed to have someone else pick up and drop off. She kept me updated with pictures and took him on walks. I will absolutely be booking with Amber again if she agrees and absolutely recommend. Thank you so much Amber!!”
“Nate and Whitney were great with my Australian Shepherd. They kept me updated with pictures and I could tell that he was well exercised while I was away. I will definitely be contacting them again if I need to go out of town and can't take Ozzie with me!”
“Ezgi was just wonderful with Charlie. She kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the entire time Charlie was with her. Ezgi took Charlie on walks and sent us videos of Charlie enjoying the time outside. She is kind and caring, and so so good with animals. Would highly recommend Ezgi to anyone looking for someone to look after their pets!”
“Treven loved having other dogs to play with and Vanessa provided extra reassurance that things were going well throughout his stay. I hope he is able to stay with her and her family again.”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely care about every pet I watch. I treat them like family, giving them love, attention, and patience so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide attentive care for your pets. I love being outdoors and frequently walk around Lake Choctaw, so taking your dog along for exercise, fresh air, and extra attention would be a bonus for both of us! Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or companionship, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family! I provide a safe, loving environment for every pet in my care. I have three children who are respectful of animals and one small, friendly dog. I have two cats that stay in the basement with my nephew. While my yard is not fenced, pets are never allowed outside unattended and are always supervised on walks, potty breaks, and outdoor playtime. I follow each pet owner’s instructions carefully.
“Paige was awesome with Sadie. She sent updates and pictures and took care of Sadie like she was part of the family. Paige was also very helpful working with me on drop off and pick up times. She’s definitely going to be the first person I reach out to next time I need a sitter and I would recommend her to everyone else.”
“Todd loved his stay with Kris and Gideon. He loved having another dog to play with. Kris was good about keeping me updated with pictures and texts. (first time leaving him with someone other than a family member) I was very thankful for the updates. She was great!”
“Mariah was great and extremely flexible! I was in the process of PCSing and she watched my two dogs within a days notice and was quick to respond and meet up when I needed to pick my girls up early upon notification that I had to leave earlier than expected. 10/10 recommend!!”
About: Dependable, loving, experience with horses and dogs of all breeds. I have had dogs all of my life until now. I love them from puppy to senior stages! I am currently unemployed so I am available during the week at any time. Last minute calls are ok with me. Weekends, I am flexible. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I prefer to walk your dog in their own area. However, I will gladly take them to a park for walks also.

“Jenna did a super job taking care of my 4 cats and cockateil. She is always on time for her drop in visits and had some play time with the cats and paid close attention to their feeding schedule. She kept everything clean and tidy for me while I was out of town for a week.”
“Jayson did absolutely amazing with my 3 pups this week and they get excited to see him for their drop in visits! I’m glad they didn’t scare him away so he can keep doing drop in visits with them 🐶🐶🐶”
“Maddie quickly won over all of our cats, even the most shy girl of the bunch! She is friendly, communicative, and observant of the pets in her care. I will definitely be booking Maddie in the future because I know our girls will be in great hands with her.”
“Ragen did such an amazing job watching over our dog babies. She did more than what was asked of her and both our pups really loved her. We will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much Ragen.”
“Michele was great watching our 2 large dogs for 2 days while we were out of town. She communicated the whole time with updates and photos. Gave great peace of mind!”
“Alida was wonderful with our puppy and cat! Stopped by twice in one day to feed them, walk/play and they were so happy she was there! Easy to communicate with, followed any/all given instructions, and most importantly, made sure our girls were well taken care of!”
“Shannon was very communicative while we were gone! She sent photos, and gave me an update every time she visited! She even went above and beyond, cleaning the litter area so I wouldn't come home to a mess! I will definitely be working with her in the future!”
“Aryn is absolutely amazing! She takes such great care of my kitten! While I hate leaving Luna alone, I feel confident my Luna is getting the care and TLC she needs in my absence. Thank you Aryn! You are the best!!”

About: I have always been around dogs but have not found my furever friend yet. I enjoy volunteering at animal shelters and watching dogs for friends and coworkers. Hello! As a teacher, I am available after school around 4pm and all the time on the weekends. I enjoy drop ins, walks, and overnight stays. In clients homes & my own, I ensure that the dog has ample human interaction time. I live in an apartment and prefer to watch animals in their own home but they are welcome in my own. On walks, I make sure the dog is secured before heading outside and always make sure there are photos or videos for the owners.
About: I have always loved cats and have experience caring for my own pets as well as helping friends and family with theirs. I am comfortable feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, providing playtime, and giving plenty of attention and companionship. As a firefighter/EMT, I am dependable, detail-oriented, and take responsibility seriously. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and routine, and I will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have a wide range of experience with animals (dogs, cats, horses, rats, rabbits, goats, etc.) I grew up around animals and am currently going through school on the pre-vet track. I have helped some friends and neighbors care for their pets (baths, walks, nail clipping, etc.) I also currently work at petsmart I currently work and go to school. My classes aren’t long and are spaced out throughout the day so I have free time in between classes. I work 4 days a week, usually for 3 hour shifts during the week I have one pet in my home and it’s my border collie Bailey. If your dog needs some training, I can help provide that as I used to train dogs from time to time and teach basic commands. I’m also very active and am happy to take your dog for a walk or on a trip to the dog park
“This was our first experience using Rover, but it was a great one! Kylie was so responsive and did an amazing job looking after our cats. We got regular updates and she took extra time to play with them and give them love while we were gone. We came back to healthy, happy, and contented pets. Would book her again!”
“Lindsey was amazing with our dog! She did drop ins while we worked night shifts which it’s extremely hard for us to find anyone willing to do drop ins late at night! I could tell from all the pictures she sent that Kovu was always happy to have her there! I’m so grateful for her amazing communication and all the pictures while she checked in on Kovu!”

“Kristol was the perfect dog sitter. Very warm and welcoming to us and our fur babies. My dog had never been to a dog sitter before, but everything was perfect. My dog felt very comfortable there and did great. Kristol sent several photos, which made me feel better. I would use Kristol's service anytime I could. Recommend her highly.”
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!

I’m available Mondays through Friday from 6:00 am to 5:00 pm. As well if you want your fur friend to spend the night with us I have a big backyard and big yard area for walks and play.

“Ezgi is an amazing host! She sent me lots of pictures and videos throughout the day. She took all the dogs to the dog park, and they all got along very well. I highly recommend Ezgi. Thank you again”
“Katherine was a lifesaver! Our flight got cancelled and we weren’t going to be able to pick up our dogs from the kennel on time because of that. Katherine was able to pick up our dogs for us, on the same day and with only a few hours’ notice, and dog sit them at her house until we made it back home. We are so thankful for her and how she helped our four-legged family!”
“Today was Rue’s very first day at doggy daycare with Arlissa, and I could not be more thankful for the wonderful care she gave my sweet girl. From the very start, she was so kind and responsive, and she sent me the cutest pictures of Rue playing during the day—which completely warmed my heart. Those photos honestly brought me so much joy that I’ll probably end up framing them! It gave me such peace of mind knowing Rue was safe, happy, and loved while I was at work. I would recommend Arlissa to absolutely anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and welcoming place for their dog. I’ll definitely be booking with her many more times moving forward. Thank you, Arlissa, for treating Rue like one of your own!❤️”
“Nate & Whitney were amazing! This was my first time using Rover and it was very last minute. The two were so accommodating and my pup, Miller had a blast with them. They sent pictures & updates throughout the time with him. He also got to go on a nice long walk and played lots of fetch. Would definitely recommend and will be using Nate & Whitney again!”
“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: For the past 8 years, I have been involved in rescue work and have gained experience fostering dogs and cats of varying ages and personalities. I have also worked at a dog training facility, gaining more experience and knowledge of dogs' body language, needs, and training. From caring for newborn puppies to senior dogs, from fearful to playful, every experience has been fulfilling. I am a proud owner of three rescue fur babies who bring love and joy into my life every day. I will forever be grateful for all the lessons they taught me and continue teaching me every day about love, joy, compassion, appreciation and patience I believe in using positive reinforcement methods and showing patience and creativity when handling animals. I have deep respect for their unique personalities and always strive to ensure their safety and well-being, fostering positive associations and allowing them the freedom to make choices independently Hey there! I recently relocated to Dayton and am looking for opportunities to spend as much time as possible with animals. I am fascinated by animal psychology and behaviour, and by how they learn and communicate. I regularly take my pups to dog classes in the evenings, go on long walks during the day and study online from home I have three beautiful pets to keep your fur baby company, or I can separate them so your paw-friend has peace of mind and personal space. If you prefer to keep your sweet little one in the crate, we will make it a calm, relaxing experience with a yummy food puzzle and classical music in the background. When pet sitting at your place, I can follow your instructions and guidance to make sure the little paws have everything they need. I enjoy spending time teaching dogs good manners and new skills. We practice obedience training with my pups every day, and my cat just started learning new tricks too. If you like, I can create an individual training plan for your pet during their stay, or you can let me know what to work on, and I'll make sure your pup is receiving the training. Any training is welcome, from puppy training to obedience to learning new skills. Change is stressful and scary, so I will make sure your fur baby has enough attention, physical exercise and mental stimulation. I have plenty of interactive toys for busy-minded pups, as well as lots of ideas for healthy, long-lasting snacks, such as food puzzles, KONG toys, lick mats, and sniffle games. And I'm always open to trying new activities if our furry friend has a favourite toy or game
“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! Thanks so much from me &sam again!”
“My fur baby was very happy to be in Molli and her fur babies company! I was able to work peacefully knowing that Ariya was in good hands . I will certainly consider her and highly recommend her. I am so thankful that Molli even picked and dropped off Ariya from my house!”
“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!”
About: I’ve always been exceptionally empathetic towards animals, and I’d like your pets to feel as if they’re on vacation when they’re with me. When I first started rover, an owner saw how well I cared for their dogs, and they became like my second family during college. I still visit after moving away. My family dog is a husky, so I can take on big energetic dogs, and my first dog ever was a Yorkshire terrier with medical problems, so I know how to administer medication if needed (I have a background in the medical field as well). You can have a stress free day knowing your animals are safe and well cared for with me. I will be with your pet the entire stay, so you don’t ever have to worry about them being left alone for long periods of time. I live in a townhouse, so I have two levels, making it larger than your average apartment. I also have a back yard with a lead allowing your dog to run around without being hand held on a leash for every potty break. I also enjoy to walk the dogs around the complex, as they get “new information” and excitement from smelling new experiences around them.
“I boarded my 13 week French Bulldog for a week with Angela. Leaving him was hard but Angela and her sweet children and so good with the dog! She is super flexible and always kept me up to date. Great service and great sitter!”
“Brandy & Brandon were amazing at updating me throughout the day with photos and videos while I was running errands! My dogs had a blast and came home pooped! My older dog can be picky with people but he seemed so comfortable. I would highly recommend them.”
About: I've owned dogs all of my life and can provide excellent care of your dogs. They will get plenty of love and play time as well. I currently work from home and will be able to give your dogs plenty of attention. They will fit right in with us in our home. My dog is allowed to go outside on the leash because he is old and does not go very far anymore, but I can keep your pets on a leash while in my care. I can also crate your dog.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and helped at the local vet clinic growing up. My last dog passed away from heart failure in 2022. It’s a busy time for my sons activities so it’s not a good time to bring a full time dog into our home at this time but would love to help others out. I work full time outside the home M-TH from 8-3 and half day Fridays (occasional Fridays totally free). I am willing to be flexible with week day stays if they can manage being alone during those hours. Our yard is unfenced but I would walk or chain them out depending on owner preference.

About: I have had a deep love for animals my entire life. I’ve always grown up around cats, dogs, rabbits and even reptiles! I also used to raise & show lambs for 4H at the Clark County Fair, so I am used to the routine and responsibilities that come with animals. I have experience working at DogTown where I learned valuable skills on keeping dogs happy and calm during their boarding experience. I know it can be very stressful leaving your animal in someone’s hands, but I’m willing to do everything I can to make sure your pet is well taken care of! 🐾 I work as a part-time EMT (I usually work overnight shifts) and I am a full-time college student, but I have control over which days and times I work. Overall my schedule can be flexible and I am happy to work to ensure your pet is getting the most quality care and attention! Unfortunately, I live in an apartment where animals are not allowed. However, I am more than happy to come to your home for care! While being in a clients home it is my goal to keep it as clean as possible and respect that space! I can also do walking or playtime where the owner prefers to ensure the pet is as close to their normal routine as possible.
About: I have 8 years experience training dogs from puppies to leash reactive dogs. I am comfortable medicating animals and caring for special needs. I saved a client dog recently when I recognized she had eaten one of her toys before coming to stay with me. I rushed her to have emergency surgery and then cared for her after surgery until her parents arrived back from their cruise. I am all about pet care. I am home daily with the exception of a couple varied hours to go out to walk or train dogs. I have 5 fully fenced acres, with a secure fenced backyard just for dogs. My family has 4 dogs of our own, 1 is a livestock guardian who lives outside fulltime(his choice I promise). The dogs and I often go play in the fenced pasture when the horses and chickens are secured. Everyone is always monitored and supervised for safety. Meals are always fed with dogs separated for prevention and safety.
About: i have had animals since i was 8 rabbits and dogs & cats, taken care of my neighbors animals walked them when they asked and dog sat any of my siblings animals for them. i can dog or cat sit anytime or dog walk anytime, i’m free most of the time i can do morning walks or even late walks. i will always make sure your animal has fresh water & i’ll always give belly’s rubs and let them out whenever they wanna be out
About: I have had animals my entire life, I love them all; big and small. I treat them all as my own. I can be found on the floor playing with a dog almost anywhere I go. Your best friend is in good hands with me as I am home full time and would like to do what I love and that is working with animals. I find working with animals to be fulfilling and makes me happy to keep them company while their people are at work or away and unable to do so. Working with animals in a non-veterinary setting is my dream job and I hope to make some new friends in the process. I will send pictures, updates, and make sure your buddy is happy and loved while you are away. I am with them 24/7 for the most part and this is what I do, so my rates reflect my experience and dedication to being the best pet sitter for you and your furry friends. You can count on me to care for furry friends in a gentle and thorough manner as if they were my own. I am home full time, your fur babies will have constant care while they are with me. I love being home and cuddling up with my fur buddies. I have 2 dogs and a cat. Safety is my number one priority. I’m never away for very long. I never open an entry door without making sure that my dogs are gated or behind another interior door away from a point of escape. I am very familiar with even the sneakiest of escape artist’s, so I will ask to see all points of entry/exit of your home at our meet and greet. Your fur babies’ safety is in good hands with me and my ultimate priority. (I plan around physician appointments and other drop ins)
About: Hi friends! My name is Clara, I am currently attending Cedarville as a sophomore nursing student. I work PRN as CNA at the hospital in Springfield which requires reliability, work ethic and compassion. I have a dog and a cat that live at home as well but not currently with me at college. I previously worked for Rover with my mom while I was in highschool. I have cared for puppies as well as senior dogs and for a variety of other pets with various ages over the years. I am dependable, hard-working, caring and loving. I love spending quality time with all animals whether it is stopping by for a drop in visit, taking a walk or staying at your house as I can't currently board animals while living on campus. Please feel free to reach out to us for all of your pet care needs! I have a fairly flexible schedule and am happy to accommodate! I’m currently in nursing school, so my availability varies slightly by day. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I have lectures at 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM, along with a lab from 1:00–2:15 PM. On Tuesdays, I have labs from 8:30–9:50 AM and 11:00 AM–12:50 PM, as well as a lecture at 2:00 PM. Thursdays include a lecture at 8:00 AM, another from 11:00 AM–12:50 PM, and a final lecture at 2:00 PM. On Fridays, I have clinical from 6:00–11:00 AM (though this is not every week, so I may have additional availability), along with a lab from 12:00–2:50 PM. I’m still very flexible outside of these times and happy to work around your pet’s needs—feel free to reach out! I will intentionally care for and love your pets as if they were my own and I will be sure to follow your instructions and guidelines with the utmost care!

“Daisy is amazing. I appreciate the communication from beginning to end. I love the photos and videos that were sent every day ensuring me my lil phoenyx was enjoying himself while in her care. Daisy is very responsive and accommodating. I was extremely grateful to find Daisy at the last minute. While this was my first time ever booking within rover.com, Daisy made it an easy and effortless process. I am glad to say that I will be booking again during my next visit to Ohio.”
“I appreciated that they were focused on getting Piper to eat since I'd relayed that when she gets anxious (like while I'm away) she tends to not want to eat. They sent well-timed pictures that showed the dogs relaxed by themselves or with one of the family. The stay went well but it was a bit confusing with having both ladies message me answers to the same question.”
“This was the second time Amber has hosted Ollie for us, and just like the first time, the experience couldn't have been better. Amber took great care of Ollie. He played with and gets along well with her other dogs. He was very tired when he got home, which is an added bonus! Definitely recommend Amber K as your Rover Sitter.”
“Kyri did an excellent job looking after my dog, Milky. She was very attentive and responsible, and she consistently sent me pictures and videos so I could see how he was doing. It was clear he was comfortable, well cared for, and in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and would trust her again with Milky for future boardings.”
“Nicole was a wonderful sitter for my pup. He’s a hyper dog but she was able to calm him down and she even taught him a few tricks. Nicole will be my go to dog sitter from here in out!”
“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”
“Alexis was amazing with our girls. She kept us updated on how they were doing, sent photos and even groomed them. She also gave them homemade treats. They loved her too. We look forward to using her services again.”
“Our bulldogs are return visitors and they absolutely love their vacations with Karen! They get time with other dog friends and Karen provides lots of cuddles and enrichment daily! We appreciate all the pictures and updates!”
“This was my first time booking with Rover and I have a dog who is a bit complex with his feelings towards people. Amber let me bring him for a meet and greet prior to his stay and she was fantastic. She and her husband made me feel very comfortable leaving Koda with them and worked with me as I needed to have someone else pick up and drop off. She kept me updated with pictures and took him on walks. I will absolutely be booking with Amber again if she agrees and absolutely recommend. Thank you so much Amber!!”
“Nate and Whitney were great with my Australian Shepherd. They kept me updated with pictures and I could tell that he was well exercised while I was away. I will definitely be contacting them again if I need to go out of town and can't take Ozzie with me!”
“Ezgi was just wonderful with Charlie. She kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the entire time Charlie was with her. Ezgi took Charlie on walks and sent us videos of Charlie enjoying the time outside. She is kind and caring, and so so good with animals. Would highly recommend Ezgi to anyone looking for someone to look after their pets!”
“Treven loved having other dogs to play with and Vanessa provided extra reassurance that things were going well throughout his stay. I hope he is able to stay with her and her family again.”
“Paige was awesome with Sadie. She sent updates and pictures and took care of Sadie like she was part of the family. Paige was also very helpful working with me on drop off and pick up times. She’s definitely going to be the first person I reach out to next time I need a sitter and I would recommend her to everyone else.”
“Todd loved his stay with Kris and Gideon. He loved having another dog to play with. Kris was good about keeping me updated with pictures and texts. (first time leaving him with someone other than a family member) I was very thankful for the updates. She was great!”
About: Dependable, loving, experience with horses and dogs of all breeds. I have had dogs all of my life until now. I love them from puppy to senior stages! I am currently unemployed so I am available during the week at any time. Last minute calls are ok with me. Weekends, I am flexible. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I prefer to walk your dog in their own area. However, I will gladly take them to a park for walks also.
“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.”
“Kayla was wonderful, even with me as a last minute, first time rover booker. We are so grateful to have had her watch our precious Milo. She sent update pictures. Was super communicative. Clearly loved on him tons- as he was extra demanding and not appreciative of us working vs playing when we got home lol Will 100% use Kayla again!”
“Moki loves Catherine! He has so much fun when he’s with her and she takes excellent care of him. He usually hates car rides but gets so happy when he knows we are going to see her.”
