“Kyra was available for us last minute and did so great with our dog, Jenny. Jenny had no issues having Kyra come stay with her. Kyra communicated well with us, was very friendly and super easy to deal with. Would use her again.”

“Kayley is the best! She checked in with me often, took great care of the home and was patient with my high anxiety Theo. He had an accident in the house and she took care of it all and even brought her cleaner from home to help pick it all up. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you!!!”

“Ashlen has been my go to sitter since the first time she watched my pets in September of 2021. From 2 dogs and a bird to now just my one dog Ashlen does an excellent job of prioritizing her care, remembering details, and going the extra mile! She is super easy to communicate with, is always willing to be flexible with first and last drop in times and always makes sure to check in with me and give me updates.”
“Linda took great care of our dog and cat while we were on vacation. She met with us beforehand to ease our anxious dog, and communication was great throughout. Highly recommend and will definitely hire again.”

About: Animals are a valuable part of a community. I have always had a strong desire to assist in their happiness on this earth! Since I was a child, I have always had animals. It is apart of my nature to love and care for them. I also work at a Veterinary Hospital where I engage with various pets every day. This allows me to have a unique set of skills and knowledge that gives your pet the care that they deserve! I work at a Veterinary Hospital M-F from 7:30am-6pm. Depending on your location, I am happy to assist your pet in the mornings or evenings as needed. There is also an opportunity to assist during the lunch hours, in certain cases. Over the weekends, I am flexible and always open to negotiating times that work well for you and your pet(s). My location is in the midst of the beautiful and safe College Hill neighborhood. I am happy to assist your pet in my area or travel to yours depending on their comfort.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for over 10 years now! I’ve taken care of both Dogs and cats of all sizes! I’ve been dog sitting for years and I have been working at Sydney’s pet resort as a supervisor for 4 years now! I have experience giving all animals medication and will help animals with any medical issues they may have! I have experience working with puppies and senior dogs, as well as kittens and senior cats! I currently work Tuesday through Saturdays but I will work around my schedule to make sure I find time to care for your pets! I am typically free all day on Sundays and Mondays! I am currently not watching any animals in my own home but I am able to watch them in the comfort of their own home!
“Rachael went above and beyond to help my dog in every way. He’s a high anxiety boy and very shy. She took her time with him, gave him lots of care, and cleaned up after he had an accident. She even stayed an extra night late to house sit because my flight was delayed. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have had pets my whole life. Mostly dogs and cats but I’ve been around other animals as well such as rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, ferrets, chickens, ducks, hamsters, and mice. I have two pets of my own currently as well. I work full time from Monday to Friday from 8-5 so I am only available after 5pm those days. During the weekend I am able to care for your pets throughout the day. I go above and beyond and make sure I care for pets accordingly and make sure to get all the detailed information from the owner to make sure I give the best care to the animal.
“Kyelene was a wonderful blessing to us over Thanksgiving! She stayed with our pup so we were able to visit family. Kyelene was great about following instructions on how to best care for our pup and left our home spot free. We'll definitely be using Kyelene again!”


“Ari was a life saver in staying at our house and watching our 3 dogs and keeping them company while we were out of town for a wedding. Would 100% have her stay over again to watch them”

“Vanessa is fantastic! Kept up with me consistently while I was gone on my dog. She did boarding in house, and left the house in perfect condition and followed all instructions! Would highly recommend ☺️”

“I highly recommend Hannah! My dog Bella received the care and attention she needed. Hannah is very friendly, trustworthy, and dependable. You will not be disappointed!”
About: I’d be happy to help care for your fur babies! I have experience with dogs and cats ranging from young to old and small to large. My dog is a lovable couch potato so I’d love to visit with pets who like to play, but I’m also experienced in senior dogs with more complex medical requirements. Welcoming to all breeds, especially large breeds, pit bulls, pets with special needs, and elderly dogs. I work a traditional 9-5 job, like many of my sitting clients, so your pets schedule may remain the same as it would when you’re home with them! I’m an early riser so I can let your pet(s) out a couple times in the morning, directly after work, and throughout the evening and night. On weekends, my schedule is completely open. For in home sitting, I follow whatever boundaries or guidelines the owner sets for safety in their home. I rely on owners to give clear instructions on how to best care for their pets.
“Kary was so great with our baby Milo. She sent pics and videos daily and we could tell he was super happy. It’s hard to find someone with such good energy and a love for dogs and Kary was fantastic.”


About: I have experienced caring for kittens, cats, and senior cats and I really enjoy getting to know each cats personality and what makes him feel the most comfortable. I’ve also cared for dogs ranging from six months to 13 years old and I am comfortable with both energetic puppies and older dogs who need a slower pace. I love spending time with animals and all the ways whether it’s plain cuddling or taking dogs on walks. I am a very active person and genuinely enjoy when dogs can come along with me and be a part of my day. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, cared for and happy while their owners are away. I currently work full-time managing a cycle studio. My 40 hours a week are spread across seven days. I normally am in office for 4 to 5 hours a day and work from home on Fridays and Sundays. I am able to take early morning, after noon, and evening walks. With my work schedule I can spend a good amount of time in the home making sure that all animals feel comfortable. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I have cared for dogs with fenced yards and without, so I understand the importance of being alert and safety conscious during walks and outdoor time. I respect each pet’s routine and personality, whether they are energetic and playful or prefer a calm environment and extra cuddles. My goal is to create a trusting, low stress environment where pets feel happy and owners feel confident leaving them in my care.
Village pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ashlen was great with my dogs and super easy to work with. She was punctual, friendly, reliable, and kept everything clean and organized. Communication was great, and it was obvious she knew what she was doing. Most importantly, my dogs really liked her. I’d definitely book with her again.

Ari is AMAZING!! We had a last minute trip come up and she responded to us immediately, so responsive with all communications. Our animals took to her right away. During the trip, she kept us updated with photos and messages, and we knew when we came back that our boys had been well taken care of. Highly recommend and would love to rebook with Ari in the future!!!
