About: I like going for walks and runs just as much as your dog does! I am very attentive and reliable, and I will care for your pets like they are my own. I’ve had experience taking dogs to the vet, taking them to get groomed or to get their nails trimmed, and I do have experience giving them medicine. I’ve worked with all sorts of different dogs, and I am patient with them all. I have always been an animal lover, and I think all pets deserve love. If your dog likes to play, I will play with them all day! :) I am currently a full time UC student. My classes are primarily in the afternoon, so I can’t really book around that time on weekdays. My morning and evenings are more flexible, as are my weekends. I am very respectful when in other people’s home for pet care. In the past, I usually take them outside to play as to not interfere with anything in the house. If I am taking care of pets and they need to stay inside the house, I will only play with them in main rooms, and I will never go wandering or open closed doors unless specifically instructed to. While I will treat your pet like it’s my own, I won’t do the same for your house!
“Jared was absolutely wonderful with Josie. He is far more than a dog walker. He is gets to know your dog and provide such affection! I highly recommend Jared and intend on asking him for help again.”
“Saul takes great care of Mango! He is very patient with her, and even put on her coat without me asking when he came to walk her in the freezing temperatures. I will always trust Saul to walk and take care of Mango.”
“Kelsey was wonderful took great care of our Howlett! We’ve used her services several times and she does an outstanding job. We will always be customers of her and would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—which gave me a lifelong comfort and confidence working with animals. From energetic puppies to senior dogs, I’m experienced and patient with every stage of life. I have hands-on experience with basic obedience training and I’m currently working toward my dog training certification. I currently work at FedEx ground. I'm about to switch to weekends only so I can be available mon-friday anytime. Weekend nights could work if planned ahead. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly condo where dogs have plenty of room to play and relax. My own dog, Foster, is friendly and well-socialized—he loves making new friends and is great with other dogs. We also share a backyard with respectful neighbors and their dogs, creating a safe and social environment. I'm always happy to answer any questions or provide updates,just reach out anytime!
“Bethany was amazing! She took very good care of my girls and was so accommodating when I had messed up some logistics. She was punctual and shared lots of photos and updates. Highly recommend!”
About: My experience goes back to being the go-to walker for our family dog as a kid to minding my cat today. It’s not unusual for me to meet a dog or cat and become acquainted in minutes I work from home with a flexible schedule. Therefore, I can be on-call at various times. I’m also used to fitting pet care for my cat into my daily routine. I make sure to follow all instructions laid out by the pet parent and get clarification wherever necessary, as well as communicate any issues that may arise.
About: Hello! I recently relocated back home to Cincinnati after graduate school. I love animals, they are such gems and have been a Rover sitter for over 7 years. I have a cat named Cosmo and my family owned a German shepherd for 14 years. I am open to helping out with all types of animals, I love cats and dogs! I am very caring, calm, and patient and will make sure your pets feel well loved throughout our time together. I love cuddling, walking, and playing with animals -just being in their company and following their lead. Trustworthiness, attentiveness, and compassion are very important to me and I will guarantee quality care. I have some flexibility during the week with my schedule, which includes some day time availability on certain days. I will do my best to form a bond with your pet and make them as comfortable as possible. Can’t wait to meet your buddies!! I have availability during the weekdays (usually mornings and evenings work well, afternoons on some days) and weekends! I can work to fit your pets schedule. I love to hear from the owner the animals typical schedule/routine and keep them as close to that as possible. Pet and owners living space safety and maintenance is very important to me. I pride myself on my observant nature, attention to detail, and trustworthiness. I am also a plant enthusiast and can help with home care tasks.
“Alexandru was phenomenal!! I scheduled him day of and then repeated for a week out. He was able to walk my pup with no issues (he’s a big 80lb dog with some reactivity). Will definitely be back to use him again!!”
About: Hi my name is Patrice. I'm a veterinary technician who loves being with animals even outside of my normal work day. If I could I would adopt a million pets but unfortunately that's not an option. I take pride in being able to help care for pets outside of my own. There's nothing more fulfilling than being able to play with fur babies when the owners cannot do so because of work. I am able to provide exercise time, medication administration, ear cleaning, and basic grooming. If you are in need of any of the above services feel free to reach out to me. I would love to get to know you and your fur babies and develop a life long bond. Pet care fits into my daily routine perfectly. I'm always with pets even in my dreams. Rather I am walking pets or meeting up for grooming appointments, I'm always with pets. I get a background of the pets home life and mimic that while they are with me. Routine works best with most pets. When you switch up what they are used to they do not do well.
About: I have worked in both a small animal general practice and emergency veterinary setting as a veterinary assistant. I recently finished an internship where I worked at an equine clinic as a veterinary assistant. I will be starting Vet school in the fall of 2024 and I recently graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Animal Science from the University of Vermont. I am currently back home until I start school in August, so I have availability during the day and at night. I can let the pets out whenever. I have experience with all different kinds of animals - from horses to cows to chihuahuas. I grew up with German Shepherds and love big and small dogs. I have experience in a clinical sense with animals of all different needs.
“My poodle is not quite 2 years old and full of energy. I’m recovering from surgery and Maria is doing a great job practicing commands he learned from trainer. Friendly, adaptable, dependable, and good communicator Maria is terrific walker. Topaz loves walking with her .”
About: I began pet-sitting for friends and family when I was 16. Once I became a professional housekeeper, my clients loved for me to housesit while they were away (with the added benefit of a clean house upon their return). Now that I have my own fur family, I'm unable to housesit for long stretches. Life has taught me to be adaptable and to be ready for curveballs thrown my way. I've given dogs medication, cared for aging pets, and cleaned many a puddle and turd with love and understanding. Twice I was bitten by a nervous dog, which triggered a fear response to dogs suddenly approaching me. That experience only increased my love for dogs, and I was able to train my body to react calmly, rebuilding that trust. Dogs love us unconditionally, we must return the favor! I'm self-employed with a variable schedule, so it's easy for me to add a walk or drop-in. Caring for animals enhances my life, so including your pets in my day is a win-win-win situation. I can't have your pet at my house (cats of my own). In a client's home, I balance the needs of the pet with boundaries set by the client (for example, dogs allowed only in certain rooms). I'm happy to follow your instructions out of respect, of course, but also because consistency is needed for encouraging good behavior and the well-being of the pet.
“Alex continues to provide meaningful care for Zeke on walks and loving belly rubs and ear scratches afterward when they have time. We are grateful and happy to have Alex in our lives - as will you!”

I've been using Jessica for the past several months, and I couldn't be happier. From the very beginning, it was clear that she genuinely enjoys animals. My dog gets so excited whenever she arrives! Jessica is always punctual, gives detailed updates anf photos after after each walk and assures me things go well. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive dog walker.
