Highly-rated overnight sitters - Symmes
“Simba had a great first night stay with Kiersten! He got along well with her 2 dogs and came hope nice and tired! Kiersten is super! She asked lots of questions and made sure she knew how Simba was and made sure I was comfortable with what she had planned while Simba was there. She sent pics throughout the day and treated him like her own! Simba will be going back next week for a longer stay as I know he will be happy at Kiersten’s!”
“Michelle is the nicest pet sitter I never met before, she keep us updated with tons of photos every day and let us feel extremely safe when we are not close to my dog. My dog looks happy through out the stay and eat exactly what I told her to feed. Before she give my dog treats, she even texted us and asked us if it is okay to give him this and that. I would highly recommend her as your pet sitter no matter long or short stay.”
“Ainura did an EXCELLENT Job with my 3 Yorkies while I left out of the country to Dubai. I was updated daily with pictures on my dogs. This has been the best service provider I’ve received on here. Definitely will recommend and use again! ?????”
“Nicole and her family were amazing with our dog, Maverick. He has some separation anxiety and he did so well in their care. They will be our go-to dog sitters from this point forward.”
“Dariana was an excellent sitter for Luna. She was responsive, flexible, and provided regular updates. Luna very clearly was happy and comfortable during her stay. I would 100% recommend her! 😊”
“Elisheba was wonderful with my dog. She gave me daily updates on how she was doing and sent me fun pictures of the adventures they had while I was gone. I highly recommend her as a sitter for your pet as she has a true love for animals and she will welcome them into her home and take care of them as if it was her own pet.”
“I am always at ease when I leave my dog with Shannon. She gives me updates on the visits and sends pictures. My pup is very fond of her and gives her kisses when she sees her.”
“Kim was amazing with Ollie! She sent photos and updates throughout the stay, so we always knew he was happy and taken care of. It made being away so much easier knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely cares about your pup.”
“Scott, was amazing with both our corgis. He really made them feel comfortable, as well as us with updates and pictures. we would highly recommend him and will be using him again!”
“Both of my dogs absolutely love Teah and Eric. They took amazing care of them and Yeah sent many photos and video each day. I have no hesitation at all leaving my babies with Teah anytime.”
“Drei had a fantastic time. He was loved and well cared for while we were away. Tasha and Joseph treated Drei as if he was their own and communicated with us daily with pictures. We already have two more trip planned and are planning on continuing with them watching Drei when we are gone”
“Katie did such a great job watching Reggie while my husband and I were out of town for a few days! We received plenty of updates and could tell he was well taken care of when we picked him up. Will definitely be using Katie again!”
About: Hello! Nice to meet you! I am Meaghan and I live in a safe, quiet neighborhood in Blue Ash. I grew up with dogs of various sizes and breeds my entire life. I had two dogs of my own over the last 12 years, both of which were large breeds (German Shepherd and Siberian Husky). I love dogs and enjoy having them around. I work from home all day and can spend lots of quality time with your dog(s). Your pup will get plenty of outdoor play time and potty breaks. I work from home all day so I am able to provide day care and/or overnight boarding during weekdays or over weekends. If I do have to leave for an errand I tend to separate the dogs in bedrooms and/or crates. I have a large fenced yard (over half an acre) with plenty of room for your pup to run and play. I have crates available if it is needed for your dog. I work from home all day so I am able to provide frequent potty breaks outside.
“We have used Aparajita several times now and hope she never stops offering her care! She is amazing every time and it’s the best feeling to be able to leave your fur baby somewhere knowing they will be well taken care of. Thank you again for being Kuma’s best step mom!”
“Another great family vaca in books & Sully (our handsome fur child), thrived @ week long overnight camp. Katie is the ultimate best & truly loves the dogs she keeps like her own. We miss Sully but I can’t say he feels the same!”
“Megan and David are amazing! I was so nervous to leave my older girl with her high maintenance health care needs, but I was able to have a relaxing trip knowing she was in good hands. They have a ton of animal care experience and the sweetest dog who was so patient; my girl was able to fit right in with the family. They are quick to respond and gave me daily updates with pictures. I couldn't recommend them enough and hope they are available the next time my pup needs a home away from home.”
“Jessica is great! My old dog is a bit needy and she was so sweet, meeting him where he’s at and not complaining about giving him extra attention. My kids and I all loved that she sent daily updates with photos. We will definitely check in with Jessica next time we need a sitter!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little girl and that has been many many years ago. I have also worked as an animal tech and research assistant where I maintained animal colonies and worked with large animals. I believe having animals in your life is a blessing. I am retired and I love animals so I thought I would give some love and attention to the animals that need some attention while the owner is away from them. I have a fenced in yard that the dogs can run and play. I am also there with the dogs most if not all of the day.

Cat caregivers near you - Symmes
“Toryn was absolutely incredible!! She went above and beyond and cleaned the cat food dishes and gave fresh water most days. She always played calming music for our kitty while we were gone.”
“Sarah has checked on our barn cats during two of our vacations. She is prompt with her replies and always sends photos. It speaks volumes that our often skittish barn cats are comfortable around her. ❤️”
“Jennifer was great! My cat is extremely attached and her health often declines while I'm away, but for the first time in years it didn't happen! I was given detailed updates as well as lots of photos, thank you for working with my moody girl!”
“Daniel saved me over a holiday weekend when another sitter canceled at the last minute! He was very communicative and my cats enjoyed having him stop by. Couldn’t recommend him more!”
“Oh my goodness! Patty is amazing! She was so responsive and provided great updates about my cats! I felt so much better knowing she was watching them and have already scheduled for her to watch them again in the future! 10/10 would recommend”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for years through both my own pets and by helping friends and family with theirs. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and needs, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’m committed to providing dependable care and keeping you updated while you’re away.
“Today was our first day using Rover and we couldn't have asked for more! Thank you Penny for the updates and photos and peace of mind. Nichole can't wait to have you visit again.”
“I’m really glad Anissa was available to watch my cats the following week. Doing two back-to-back trips was stressful, but I knew I was in good hands. We were able to work out some minor kinks in their care, and it made for a smoother visiting time! She was so good with Azula, and I got plenty of pictures (pictures of Mitski were occasionally included, as long as she was behind the washing machine). :)”
About: I have found that cats have a bit more personality and uniqueness than compared to dogs. I didn't grow up with cats but learned to LOVE them after my roommate and I adopted 2 kitties 4 years ago! We got to see a brother and sister grow before our eyes and clinge to us as parents. I respect cats for having "personality" and can read the room greatly when it comes to giving them space or more attention. In many ways they are easier to maintain but harder to befriend! Challenge is on!
“Was responsible. Had some personal issues twice and couldn’t come. But made me aware of that. And I was fine since my cats can be unattended for a day or two. But she sent me videos and pictures. Cleaned up any cat mess. Kept everything neat and clean.”
About: I have always been known as an animal person. Cats have a special place in my heart, and I take my role as a Certified Crazy Cat Lady very seriously. I have always been surrounded by them, taking care of family's pets for coming up on a decade. I also have over 6 years experience working with the cats at a local animal shelter, where I do both weekly cleaning as well as socialization with new or scared cats. This is the highlight of my week and my favorite thing to do.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Symmes
About: Hello! Nice to meet you! I am Meaghan and I live in a safe, quiet neighborhood in Blue Ash. I grew up with dogs of various sizes and breeds my entire life. I had two dogs of my own over the last 12 years, both of which were large breeds (German Shepherd and Siberian Husky). I love dogs and enjoy having them around. I work from home all day and can spend lots of quality time with your dog(s). Your pup will get plenty of outdoor play time and potty breaks.

“My dog has such a great time when she’s here!! She gets all of her energy out and gets treated great! I love seeing my dog’s pictures at the end of the play date. Katie is the best!”
About: As a SAHM and lifelong animal lover, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet like family. I have an 11-year old Golden Retriever of my own so I’m experienced with dogs of all ages. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, loving companionship while you’re away, or your cat needs attentive care, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently a SAHM and with both of my kids starting school soon, I will have a lot of free time throughout the day to care for your pet. I have a fenced in yard and an older dog that gets along well with other dogs. I walk my dog daily and look forward to walking and spending time with yours.
About: The things that separate me from other sitters are my active lifestyle, strong communication, adaptability/ flexibility and silliness! I love to go hiking, running, swimming at the family lake, explore dog parks and other fun activities while sitting. Options are endless and will keep you posted with fun photos, videos and other messages to make sure you know your pet is safe. I do not ADD ANY STRESS. Quite the opposite. I am here to help and relieve the stress of boarding your pet. And I'm okay with being scheduled same day or same day cancellation. I understand things come up, please just try and be certious and thoughtful though with lack of communication. (Please be aware that my rates are subject to change based on my availability, commute to/from work, time spent with the dog and many other factors. Please not that I do NOT make as much as you pay, rover app takes a good chunk out of what you pay. Graituity and tips are highly encouraged if you want quality care and repeat stays/ watches. ) My rule of thumb: I aim to make about $75-$125/ day for house sitting and animal care. I am to make about $25/ hour so that would require me to spend about 4-5 hours on ruotine pet car (walks, feeding, taking out, medicine, adventures + household chores ect.) I have to factor in gas money, taxes, and rover fees so please consider that when booking. I am willing to go the extra mie and make your dog's stay a vacation and spend all day with them, I just expect to be fault comensated. Some dogs (+multiple dogs, cats ect.) require lots more attention than others. I find it very hard to work full time and pet/ house sit. As I am trying to move away from my other job and pet sit closer to full-time. I love animals but they are lots of work, as we know! Please be curtious and respectful of my time and love I show your pets. I am currently working part-time as a rideshare driver and am part-time student in grad school to get my masters in psychology. And back living at my parents house with a big yard in the basement to play in. When I am pet sitting I revolve my life around the needs of the pet and adapt my schedule to their potty breaks and eating habits. Like I said, I'm flexible and easygoing and luckily don't have too much on .y plate right now besides studying and private rides mostly at night! I have backup as well with my cousin who lives with me. Leashes all the time if they could get away or in public. I have a stand outside with a long leash for extended outside time but am usually just side-by-side the pet most of the time so they are in good eyes. Clean environment, no drugs, no partying, no garbage laying around. (I live with my parents currently in Montgomery, OH and they are on board as well as they love pets too!)
About: I have been a dog guardian for 40 years including two Huskies for 10 years. I spent 25 years in San Francisco where my dogs went to the dog park twice a day. I was also a volunteer at the SPCA in California where I helped care for the dogs waiting to be adopted. Your best friend will get one on one and 100 percent attention from me. I only board one dog at a time unless they are from the same household already. I am working out of my condo as a freelance designer and make my own schedule. Because of this I am able to provide full time care for pets. I was a volunteer at the SPCA in San Francisco before moving back home to Ohio. I have a condo in Montgomery surrounded by green grass off the road. There is a great park down the road. I also have the option of boarding special needs dogs at our family home 5 minutes down the road.
About: Aloha! I want to help you and your family member (dog/pet) feel less stressed about being away from each other! I noticed that every time I used a kennel service for our fur baby, our dog would get so scared, stress shed, nervous/anxiety, she would not eat, different times she caught kennel cough (which meant more vet bills), and our dog was definitely unhappy with the small kennel space surrounded by other upset loud barking pups/dogs/animals! I believe I can help your dog/pet feel loved, safe, comfortable, fed, clean, exercised, washed (optional), fun/waggy tails, like family, when you are away. My name is Michelle. I love animals! We have a small dog, bunny and fish! I used to volunteer at SPCA and Paw-sitive (Non profit, walk, groom, and feed stray dogs until they got adopted). I have housesit/housesat and dogsit/catsit/ bird and turtles-sat for friends and was suggested to extend my love on ROVER! (Side note: My husband goes to work during the day.I recently changed our schedule to homeschooling. My 2 kids are used to me caring, playing, and walking other dogs. They loves animals as well. We all have experience caring for animals, see pictures). I have went out of the way to teach , show and guide my children to be gentle, slow approaching/no sudden movements, no chasing, be responsible, ask before pet, be aware and careful around animals. I want to help other families feel comfortable and confident to leave their pet with me. We have our Covid shots and boosters. I am home everyday (except 3-4hours out of the house now and then for groceries or friends farm, or kids play dates). I keep my distance from crowds, we sanitize, and wash our hands frequently. I clean the house and wipe everything all the time. We got a new Hoover carpet wash, and our dog is up to date with shots! Your pet is safe and will be treated like royalty, pampered, loved like our pup/family! I will text or email you pictures and FaceTime your dog/pet too, if you like. Your dog/cat/pet is unique and special to you so I will do my best to help. I have owned dogs most my life (had my first pup with the responsibilities at 6 years old, and owned/fostered animals on and off for about 34 years) …cared for puppies, adults and senior dogs such as pit bulls, Pekingese, Shih Tzu , mini pincher Dobermans ,then fostered a German Shepard, a black pup Labradors, also taken cared of a Golden Retrievers, a Pitbull, poodles, bulldogs, Soft- wheat Terriers, birds, hamsters, turtles, a class pet guinea pig, and cared for friends cats too (see photos). (Yes, I have a small dog but our house is big enough to have another dog/cat/pet around . I can gate, and keep my dog separate if need) Your pet will be taken out for a run or walk at least 4x a day (usually 4-9 times with pictures)! Schedule: I take your/our dog out first thing in the morning, break, lunch, then around 3-4pm, around/after dinner time, and right before bedtime too ( update you with photos)! I will spend time with your dog/cat/pet. I will sit with, read to, massage, clean, comb, feed and pet (constantly check on, if they don’t want to be disturbed)! Even while I read to my kids, homeschool or while we watch tv at night. And my dog will be gated, separated, away from your dog/pet when we are out and when requested. I left my 911 emergency call taking position to be a stay at home mother. I would love to care for, walk, play, cuddle with your dog and take your dog to the park with us too ! *** ONLY DOGS UNDER 35lbs at this time. Thank you*** I have a lot of room, space, toys, pillows, blankets for your pup/dog/cat/pet (separated away from our dog), open concept spacious house, and animal-friendly neighborhood. I live in a cul-de-sac with extremely caring sweet neighbors that know me/us. Several families around us have animals of their own and I know most dogs have been trained or gone thru training as well as ours. I will text or email you pictures and FaceTime your dog/pet too if you like. Your dog/pet is unique and special to you so I will do my best to help. I will keep your dog/pet on a leash every time we go outside, so they don't go missing or let other dogs bother them ***Off leash free to run roam inside the house ***! Our dog is up to date with all shots, vet visits, and takes medication for tick/flee, heart worms. We give our dog a shower once every other week and when she gets muddy. I can help clean your dog/pet too, let us know!
About: Hello! A little bit about me: A SAHM who is crazy about animals and would take care of your lovely friend/son/daughter (haha) as if they were part of my family . I was raised around dogs and cats and when I grew up, I decided that I would want to work for their own good. I was part of an Animal Welfare Organization in my hometown and fostered a lot of dogs and cats and took care of them until we find a new family for them. I'm so grateful for everything I've done for the animals, and if I could, I'd do way more. I live in a house with a big fenced backyard, your pet will have plenty of space to play and a beautiful lake community, great for walks.
“Joe and Laurie were awesome with our German Shepard. They provided lots of exercise (walks and playing ball in their backyard) and TLC. They also provided several photos during the day. I highly recommend them to other dog owners.”
“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!”

About: I've always had a special connection with animals and genuinely enjoy being around them. Over the years, I've cared for dogs and cats for family and friends and have always enjoyed getting to know their unique personalities. One of my favorite things about working with dogs is teaching them fun tricks and basic commands. I've successfully taught dogs to sit, stay, roll over, and beg. Once, I even taught my dog to walk backwards on two legs 🤭 I love seeing them learn and gain confidence through patience, consistency, and plenty of positive reinforcement. I'm also someone who loves being outdoors, so long walks, playtime, and making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need is something I truly enjoy. Whether your dog is energetic and adventurous or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, I'll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for a member of your family. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making sure animals feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I live in a pet-friendly home with family members who also love animals, along with a friendly Golden Retriever and my cat. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because every pet has a different personality and comfort level, I take the time to help them feel secure and adjust at their own pace. We have a spacious backyard and deck area, and I enjoy taking dogs on regular walks to make sure they get plenty of exercise and enrichment. I'll always follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, routines, and any special care your pet may need so they receive the same love and attention they're used to at home.
About: We've had dogs our whole lives and love the joy they bring us. We've been pet sitting on and off for the last 3 years and would love the chance to take care of your family member! Jathan works from home every day and Dani's office is dog-friendly and we have some flexibility between the two of us to both do work from home days. If your pup absolutely has to have someone there at all times or has medication needs, we can also rearrange schedules to have both of us work from home, or bring them along to the office! We have a patio dog door, allowing dogs to spend time inside if they wish or to let themselves outside to sunbathe, chase squirrels or burn off any energy if home alone. Our home has a large, fully fenced backyard that everyone always has access to. In the summer we try to spend a lot of time back there relaxing, chasing bubbles and throwing the ball. We do have a hairless cat who typically stays in my sister's bedroom under the blankets. We make sure she has her safe space by not allowing even our dogs free access to her room and when we have new doggie friends, we typically put up an extra gate in the hall just to make sure everyone has their space.
About: Life is better with dogs—and my English Bulldog, Dolly agrees! I'm a retired, lifelong dog lover and owner with 6 years of experience caring for dogs for family and friends. I offer boarding at your place (possibly with my dog, Dolly tagging along, if you are OK with it), dog walking, feeding visits, and playtime visits, all with lots of love and attention for you fur baby! I have always had dogs in my life, many reaching senior age and even a couple with medical issues, but all have been well cared for and loved beyond measure. As I said before, life truly is better with dogs! As a retired teacher and dog lover, caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. I have plenty of time to dedicate to dog sitting, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to be available most days and times, ensuring your pup receives the best attention and care possible. When caring for dogs at your location, I always provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they feel safe and receive plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and walks. It is my goal that your dog feels relaxed and happy under my care, and I will do my very best to make sure of that! Since I'm retired with a very flexible schedule, your dog will not be left alone for extended periods and we will enjoy plenty of companionship throughout the day. My English Bulldog, Dolly, is friendly, easygoing, well-behaved and gets along well with all other dogs. She enjoys having a playmate, is always happy to make a new friend, and she sleeps a lot! lol! If possible, I love to have her join us when I am sitting for other dogs. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own and provide owners with peace of mind knowing their fur baby is in loving hands.
“Jen & Rob took such great care of my dog for day care weekly. He always came home happy, healthy, and exhausted (thank god, he is a high energy Aussie and needed to expel that energy!). Thank you, Jen & Rob for being a safe place for me to bring my dog!”
“Amanda was great! She was responsive and communicative and made us feel comfortable leaving our pug with her for the day. She provided several updates and some cute photos. She offered to let us see the space and to meet the other dogs she was watching prior to the official sit to ensure we were comfortable. She also has a nice closed-in backyard, a big water fountain and lots of space for the dogs!”

“Penny was easy to work with and took great care of our dogs. She was very responsive and took extra care with Evie. We’re grateful for her help and would wholeheartedly recommend her to others.”
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life. I grew up with three cats that are now senior kitties and need a bit more care. I’ve been the go to pet sitter for my friends and family for years. In addition I also worked at a dog boarding and daycare for a few months so I’ve met and dealt with many dogs with different energy and social levels. I learned I prefer taking care of animals more one on one, or in a smaller setting. This way I can ensure your pets get everything they need and never feel neglected. My work schedule is as follows: Wednesday~ 1:45pm-9:30pm Friday& Saturday~ 10:15am-4pm or 2:15pm-10:30pm Sunday~ 9:15am-4pm or 2:15pm-8:30pm. My weekend schedule varies from morning to night and i get my schedule one week in advance. I have Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays completely free. I am also happy to move my schedule around if needed as long as i have a 15 days notice. :) I am enthusiastic about caring for animals. I will make sure your animals are well loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a drop in visit or a walk while you’re away I will ensure your pets are safe, happy and comfortable when they’re with me. I’m available for walks, drop in visits or overnight stays.
About: I am a full time pharmacist with a unique overnight schedule. I love all animals so I am looking for some jobs on the side caring for animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, chinchillas and parakeets. I work third shift 7 days on and 7 days off so I have a very flexible schedule to care for your pets. I can make any schedule work. I have a non social bulldog so I am able to care for a cat or dog in your own home and could care for a smaller caged animal in my own.
“Thanks for walking our girl Brenda! Brenda is so patient and a perfect companion for our anxious pup Pepper! She’s also incredibly prompt and great to work with! We’re SO happy we found her!”
“Susan is an excellent walker! She clearly loves dogs and takes the time to build a relationship with them. She is thorough - sends updates and pictures. I highly recommend her services!”
“Melanie was so friendly and really went above and beyond. Even in this brutally cold weather! I would call on her again when the opportunity arises. Thanks, Melanie!”
About: I owned and loved my own AKC Standard Poodle when I was younger for her entire life. I have cared for various cats, a few Iguanas and many dogs. I also have encountered a variety of birds and reptiles. I cared for and loved two stray cats, eventually becoming my own cats, one of which I cared for through a major surgery. I also know how to ride and care for horses. As you can see I have experience with a large variety of animals. I would love to care for your beloved pet(s). My schedule is very flexible. Day or night, weekdays or weekends, I may be available. Please contact me with your sitting needs. I am excited to get to know your pet. To minimize the stress of your animal, I will care for your pet at your home. I find this to be in the best interest of your pet (s) as they are in their familiar surroundings, with their toys, beds and food.
About: I will care for your pet like they’re my own. Dogs, cats, ferrets and hamsters have all been a part of our family. I am experienced, reliable, caring and trustworthy. Afternoons, evenings and weekends. Holidays too! I can provide check-ins or long term periods of care for times you have to be away from your fur baby. Reliable, trustworthy and experienced animal lover will ensure your fur baby is cared for, safe and loved while you are away from home for a few hours or a few days!
“I would definitely recommend, Jennifer. She is dependable, responsible, and kind. We were unable to do a meet and greet due to my last minute request. But, my dog, Francine warmed up to her immediately which is not the norm. 5 stars!”
About: I have multiple years experience working in a doggy daycare, kennel, and shelter environment. I don't have a dog of my own quite yet, but I am working towards obtaining a certification in dog training. I worked for 5 years at a kennel, and my work there ranged from being a part of the doggy daycare in the back to customer service up front. In my time there I have become fairly knowledgeable on dog behavior, body language, etc. I have been lucky enough to care for more dogs than I could ever count, with personalities to match! They all hold a special place in my heart, and any dog under my care is treated how I would want my own pet treated. I am also working towards a certification in dog training, please message me if you'd like to discuss. I focus on compassion and understanding to build a relationship with the dogs I meet. I am happy to move at their pace and respect their boundaries if they are on the shyer side, snuggle up on the couch, or go for an adventure at a nearby park- whatever your pup loves, I would love to be their new best friend! Pet care is always my top priority, both for my own and any pets I’m watching or caring for. I schedule my hours at work to be able to accommodate the animals I’m caring for. I tend to work mornings/ afternoons, and am able to stop in for a mid day potty break if needed. I do not care for pets in my own home, as my two cats are shy and take some time to adjust to new animals. But I dedicate myself to taking care of animals in their homes or if I have a dog out on a walk! I do my best to replicate the schedule and environment that pets are used to to keep them as comfortable as possible. I like to hear of any quirks that may be helpful in making your pet more comfortable.
“Sydnie has been great with my puppy on their walks. I trust she's in great hands and is getting some much needed walking while I'm at work. I will definitely use her again and recommend her for your doggy care needs!”
About: Hi! My name is Kaylee and I would love to spend time with your furry babies! Message me with questions about days I have open availability in the mornings! Growing up taking care of dogs made me realize how special the bond can be between you and any furry friend. I have experience in my daily profession working as a dog bather and in a doggy daycare! I love making friends with all of them and making sure they're all taken care of like family. During your dogs adventure with me I'd like to make the experience the most comfortable and enjoyable for them as possible. Additional services such as nail trimming, trail hiking, adventures and training sessions can all be included as well! All pets must be completely up to date on rabies, bordetella and distemper vaccinations and documentation must be presented. The safety of your pet is my top priority! Full shot series proof required. I have a very friendly fur baby of my own so even on days that I work I find it essential to make sure he gets plenty of exercise for the day. We love to hike, go swimming, go to the dog park and run around together, and we both would enjoy having some extra company along the way! At home, we have tons of cuddles and love to give. We go on walks often and many other adventures. For example, the dog park, hikes, bike rides, runs (etc). I can give baths too but am still saving up for some supplies needed to properly bathe long coated dogs (we’d have to do some sun bathing to get dry!) I regular clip nails, so if you’re interested we can include that too. In terms of dog sitting, I’d love to include all of the same activities, with any accommodations needed!
About: Aloha! I want to help you and your family member (dog/pet) feel less stressed about being away from each other! I noticed that every time I used a kennel service for our fur baby, our dog would get so scared, stress shed, nervous/anxiety, she would not eat, different times she caught kennel cough (which meant more vet bills), and our dog was definitely unhappy with the small kennel space surrounded by other upset loud barking pups/dogs/animals! I believe I can help your dog/pet feel loved, safe, comfortable, fed, clean, exercised, washed (optional), fun/waggy tails, like family, when you are away. My name is Michelle. I love animals! We have a small dog, bunny and fish! I used to volunteer at SPCA and Paw-sitive (Non profit, walk, groom, and feed stray dogs until they got adopted). I have housesit/housesat and dogsit/catsit/ bird and turtles-sat for friends and was suggested to extend my love on ROVER! (Side note: My husband goes to work during the day.I recently changed our schedule to homeschooling. My 2 kids are used to me caring, playing, and walking other dogs. They loves animals as well. We all have experience caring for animals, see pictures). I have went out of the way to teach , show and guide my children to be gentle, slow approaching/no sudden movements, no chasing, be responsible, ask before pet, be aware and careful around animals. I want to help other families feel comfortable and confident to leave their pet with me. We have our Covid shots and boosters. I am home everyday (except 3-4hours out of the house now and then for groceries or friends farm, or kids play dates). I keep my distance from crowds, we sanitize, and wash our hands frequently. I clean the house and wipe everything all the time. We got a new Hoover carpet wash, and our dog is up to date with shots! Your pet is safe and will be treated like royalty, pampered, loved like our pup/family! I will text or email you pictures and FaceTime your dog/pet too, if you like. Your dog/cat/pet is unique and special to you so I will do my best to help. I have owned dogs most my life (had my first pup with the responsibilities at 6 years old, and owned/fostered animals on and off for about 34 years) …cared for puppies, adults and senior dogs such as pit bulls, Pekingese, Shih Tzu , mini pincher Dobermans ,then fostered a German Shepard, a black pup Labradors, also taken cared of a Golden Retrievers, a Pitbull, poodles, bulldogs, Soft- wheat Terriers, birds, hamsters, turtles, a class pet guinea pig, and cared for friends cats too (see photos). (Yes, I have a small dog but our house is big enough to have another dog/cat/pet around . I can gate, and keep my dog separate if need) Your pet will be taken out for a run or walk at least 4x a day (usually 4-9 times with pictures)! Schedule: I take your/our dog out first thing in the morning, break, lunch, then around 3-4pm, around/after dinner time, and right before bedtime too ( update you with photos)! I will spend time with your dog/cat/pet. I will sit with, read to, massage, clean, comb, feed and pet (constantly check on, if they don’t want to be disturbed)! Even while I read to my kids, homeschool or while we watch tv at night. And my dog will be gated, separated, away from your dog/pet when we are out and when requested. I left my 911 emergency call taking position to be a stay at home mother. I would love to care for, walk, play, cuddle with your dog and take your dog to the park with us too ! *** ONLY DOGS UNDER 35lbs at this time. Thank you*** I have a lot of room, space, toys, pillows, blankets for your pup/dog/cat/pet (separated away from our dog), open concept spacious house, and animal-friendly neighborhood. I live in a cul-de-sac with extremely caring sweet neighbors that know me/us. Several families around us have animals of their own and I know most dogs have been trained or gone thru training as well as ours. I will text or email you pictures and FaceTime your dog/pet too if you like. Your dog/pet is unique and special to you so I will do my best to help. I will keep your dog/pet on a leash every time we go outside, so they don't go missing or let other dogs bother them ***Off leash free to run roam inside the house ***! Our dog is up to date with all shots, vet visits, and takes medication for tick/flee, heart worms. We give our dog a shower once every other week and when she gets muddy. I can help clean your dog/pet too, let us know!
About: I am a dedicated petsitter who provides excellent services to your furry friend. I pay attention to detail in their behavior, health, and even the routines. As you choose my services, you can trust that your furry companion will receive the love and attention they deserve and that you'll always be in the loop about their care. I currently have plenty of time to play and take care of your fur baby. I do take same-day visits, however, please note I will not always be available due to my work schedule. Rest assured the fur baby will always be played with and snuggled from time to time. Do let me know if they have a restricted schedule. I normally help with refreshing my clients dogs water bowl at every meal, take them out to use the restroom, and play with them. If there are set guidelines, a printed form of the steps would be highly suggested. In addition, you always will be communicated.
About: I’ve grown up in a multi-pet household and currently care for three dogs and a cat full-time, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. From a young age, I’ve had hands-on experience caring for animals, including pet sitting for neighbors starting at 14. I have experience with a variety of feeding needs, including strict schedules, portion control, and working with food-motivated dogs (including using slow feeders when needed). I’ve also prepared homemade dog food, so I understand the importance of proper nutrition and consistency in a pet’s diet. I’m comfortable administering medications, including insulin, eye drops, and oral tablets, and I take care to follow instructions closely to ensure your pet’s health and safety. In addition, I regularly handle daily care tasks like walking dogs, cleaning up after them, and maintaining litter boxes. I’m used to keeping pets on a consistent routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior and will always prioritize your pet’s well-being. You can expect reliable care, clear communication, and plenty of updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands. My schedule is very flexible over the summer, as I’ll only be working part-time, which allows me to provide consistent and attentive care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended visits throughout the day. In the fall, I’ll be starting graduate school, so my availability may be a bit more limited. However, I still plan to offer pet care and will keep my calendar updated to reflect my schedule. I’m happy to work with you to find times that meet your pet’s needs! When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment so your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine, and I will follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific needs. I take safety seriously during walks and visits, ensuring pets are secure on leashes, aware of their surroundings, and kept away from potential hazards. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior or health and will communicate any concerns right away. Respecting your home is just as important to me as caring for your pet. I make sure to keep your space clean, lock doors and windows, and treat your home with the same care and responsibility as I would my own. You can expect clear communication, regular updates, and photos so you feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

“Simba had a great first night stay with Kiersten! He got along well with her 2 dogs and came hope nice and tired! Kiersten is super! She asked lots of questions and made sure she knew how Simba was and made sure I was comfortable with what she had planned while Simba was there. She sent pics throughout the day and treated him like her own! Simba will be going back next week for a longer stay as I know he will be happy at Kiersten’s!”

About: Hello! Nice to meet you! I am Meaghan and I live in a safe, quiet neighborhood in Blue Ash. I grew up with dogs of various sizes and breeds my entire life. I had two dogs of my own over the last 12 years, both of which were large breeds (German Shepherd and Siberian Husky). I love dogs and enjoy having them around. I work from home all day and can spend lots of quality time with your dog(s). Your pup will get plenty of outdoor play time and potty breaks. I work from home all day so I am able to provide day care and/or overnight boarding during weekdays or over weekends. If I do have to leave for an errand I tend to separate the dogs in bedrooms and/or crates. I have a large fenced yard (over half an acre) with plenty of room for your pup to run and play. I have crates available if it is needed for your dog. I work from home all day so I am able to provide frequent potty breaks outside.
“We have used Aparajita several times now and hope she never stops offering her care! She is amazing every time and it’s the best feeling to be able to leave your fur baby somewhere knowing they will be well taken care of. Thank you again for being Kuma’s best step mom!”
“Another great family vaca in books & Sully (our handsome fur child), thrived @ week long overnight camp. Katie is the ultimate best & truly loves the dogs she keeps like her own. We miss Sully but I can’t say he feels the same!”
“Megan and David are amazing! I was so nervous to leave my older girl with her high maintenance health care needs, but I was able to have a relaxing trip knowing she was in good hands. They have a ton of animal care experience and the sweetest dog who was so patient; my girl was able to fit right in with the family. They are quick to respond and gave me daily updates with pictures. I couldn't recommend them enough and hope they are available the next time my pup needs a home away from home.”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little girl and that has been many many years ago. I have also worked as an animal tech and research assistant where I maintained animal colonies and worked with large animals. I believe having animals in your life is a blessing. I am retired and I love animals so I thought I would give some love and attention to the animals that need some attention while the owner is away from them. I have a fenced in yard that the dogs can run and play. I am also there with the dogs most if not all of the day.
“Paula took great care of Milo. We had a meet and greet to make sure he was comfortable and she took very thorough notes on all of his medications and his routine. He was very happy while we were gone. In fact he did not even want to leave when I went to pick him up. We felt very comfortable with Paula and had a great experience. We would not hesitate to rebook.”
“Sent lots of fun photos and updates of our pups, which definitely helped me feel better about leaving them. Really on top of communication, and was able to adapt when our travel plans kept falling through. Highly recommend!”
“Ronald and his family could not have been better sitters for our 2 labs. They were so thoughtful and provided a loving home for our pups while we were away. I will definitely continue to book Ronald on future trips.”
About: I’ve owned cats and dogs over the years. My family raised kittens for years when I was in high-school. I also had a dog of my own for 15 years. I’m always the first to volunteer to care for friends and family members pets when they are out of town or need extra help walking them during the work week. I am currently pet free and miss having furry friends around! I work evenings so I have plenty of time during the day to walk pets and take them on adventures! I’m happy to house sit or keep pets overnight as well, as long as they can be left for 4-6 hours in the evening! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I have a dog park at my apartment complex, and take lots of daily walks as well. In your home, I make every effort to keep your pet on their normal schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always treat them like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. My 14-year-old son is gentle, respectful of animals, and has grown up around both dogs and cats, but all pet care and responsibility is handled by me.

She took him on regular walks and even went to the dog park. She sent me plenty of pictures and videos. She gave him tons of treats and hugs and kisses! I will definitely board with Rodriguez again!! Thank you so much!! 💗💗”
