About: I take the time to understand each animal’s behavior and needs—whether it’s going on long walks to burn energy, sticking to a consistent routine, or offering extra attention to ease anxiety—so they feel truly cared for. I’m currently working during the week in the late afternoons/evenings and I am able to take care of pets more freely in the morning, early afternoons and on weekends. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved whether they’re in my home or theirs. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walk times, favorite toys—so they feel secure. I always give them lots of attention, keep their space clean, and stay alert for any signs of stress or illness. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and keep everything tidy, making sure the pet’s environment stays familiar and stress-free. Communication is key too, so I give regular updates to keep owners reassured.

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.

“Rowan loves dogs, and my dog loves her. She is on time, flexible, happy a dog and fur babies best friend. She sends photos, and accurately shares updates on my pups time with her. Looking forward to our next walk. So is Gabby, the goldendoodle :)”


About: I love animals and I've had pets off and on since I was 8 years old (mostly cats and dogs). My apartment building doesn't allow dogs, so I can't wait to help take care of yours! I currently have a very playful & rambunctious 7-year old cat named Milo. His favorite activities include cuddling, morning snack time, watching birds and squirrels, evening snack time, and sitting on the computer while his human is trying to do work. I've had to administer the occasional medication as well (mostly pills or liquid mixed in with wet food). I also have experience administering eye drops. I have checked in on pets (dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, birds, hermit crabs, etc.) often for friends and family over the years. Recently, I've enjoyed the occasional walk, drop-in, or daycare pick-up with my brother's dog. I'm working on cultivating some freelance remote marketing opportunities and currently have more openings in my schedule. I am completely flexible to check in on your beloved furry family members. I have daytime and limited evening availability for walks and drop-ins. Note: For your dog's safety, I will not walk dogs in frigid, excessively hot, or inclement weather. (This will depend on the dog's age, size, breed, and overall health). Ongoing need? If you'd like to set a schedule, that would be great! I live in Covington, so I have easy access to the river cities (Covington, Newport, and Bellevue), downtown Cincinnati (including Smale park), as well as Over-The-Rhine. There are several dog-friendly establishments in Covington and I live right next door to Randolph Park. The baseball diamond outfield is used as an unofficial dog park by many Covington residents. There is also a fence around the field, so dogs have ample space to run around without worrying about a bunch of other dogs. A real hidden gem! Currently, my apartment building does not allow dogs. Also, my cat Milo might not approve.

“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 have over 20 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with senior pet care and experienced with administering medications, including injections. I take pride in reading animal body language, knowing when they need space, and building trust at their pace. Whether it’s a nervous cat, an excitable puppy, or a gentle giant, I meet each animal with patience, calm energy, and genuine care. I work fully remote from home with an extremely flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s regular walks, medication schedules, or just being a calming presence for pets who need companionship, I can adapt my routine to meet a wide range of needs. I treat all animals as I would my own fur babies, with love, attention and respect. In my home, pets are free to roam in a safe, puppy-proof environment, with baby gates used as needed for comfort or boundaries. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I take the time to understand each owner’s preference and routines, ensuring their pets feel secure and cared for just as they would be by their family/

About: I have 3 years of experience volunteering at an animal shelter where I walk, feed, and spend quality time with dogs, as well as cleaning their kennels. I love spending time with furry friends! I am looking to incorporate pet care into my life primarily on the weekends. I am also available some evenings during the week. I work from 9-5 during the week (Mon-Thurs) and I am not available for pet care at that time. I will care for pets in clients’ homes by following the clients’ directions and wishes. I am mainly looking to walk dogs or care for cats and will do that in the clients neighborhood or an alternative location.

About: I spent my high school in a household with 4 cats (each with wildly different temperaments), and a border collie who loved "herding" them. In the years since moving out, I've fostered 3 cats and house-sat for both cats and dogs. For dogs in particular, I enjoy being outdoors and walking, so taking doggos on walks and playing with them has always come very naturally to me! I have a fully remote job with pretty flexible hours, so I can pop in and out as needed. Whether it be house sitting and vibing with the pets, or going on walks with the dogs, my schedule is fairly accommodating to make things happen! I've grown up taking care of pets with a wide range of personalities and temperaments, and am really good at understanding what pets want and respecting those boundaries.

About: Hi everyone! I'm a huge dog lover who has experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with a small dog but have also spent lots of time walking and sitting medium and large breeds like pit mixes, labradors, golden retrievers, and goldendoodles. Whether it's an energetic walk, a quick drop-in for playtime, or medication administration (I'm comfortable with both oral pills and ear drops), I'm here to help keep your pet happy and healthy. I’ve regularly dog-sat and walked dogs for family and friends, and now I’m excited to offer the same level of care and love to your puppies! I work mostly remotely, which means I have the flexibility for midday walks and check-ins throughout the week. My weekends are even more open, so I can accommodate longer visits or more frequent outings. I’m dying to have a dog of my own right now (but can’t due to apartment rules), so getting to spend time with yours is the next best thing! I’d be so excited to hang out with your pup and make sure they’re well-fed, hydrated, and most importantly, loved while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet your pup! I work from home the majority of the time, so depending on my meetings for the day, I can be extremely flexible Monday through Friday from 8-5. I am also available mornings before work and in the evenings as well. My availability on the weekends is more open. While I can’t board any pets at my apartment, I do ensure that your homes are kept in good shape while you’re away. I always make sure to do a walkthrough of the home to make sure no one got into anything they shouldn’t be getting into, and that all doors are locked, lights are off, and dogs are settled in before heading out.

About: I am a 29 year old working remotely, so I have plenty of time to go on walks. I owned a golden retriever named Romeo for 8 years, have my own 3 year old dog named Ginny, and have a great deal of experience with dog-sitting for various dogs over the years, so I am great with taking care of dogs and keeping them happy! This includes working on other dog-walking/sitting apps for several years. I love all kinds of pups and some of my favorite memories are taking my dogs to the park or on amazing hikes! I currently work remotely, so I have more flexibility to take on more walks or dog sit during the day and on my own schedule. When at a clients home, I like to follow any suggestions to make the pets comfortable and will spend lots of time playing and giving them love!

About: I will absolutely care for your pet like it’s my own, and that means the full 5 star treatment. Whether it’s frequent walks, play time, cuddles, cleaning, or care, your pet WILL be in good hands, I can assure you. Anybody who knows me, knows that I am the most dire animal lover and have been caring for animals since I was little. I’ve dealt with it all from anti social cats, to sinus infections, to overly energetic puppies. I’ve got this. I have the entire summer off before Graduate school at the University of Cincinnati starts. I prefer to work week days but will take a weekend offer on occasion. My hours are very flexible and I have my own car for transportation! I care for pets as if they were my own. I believe that animals deserve all the love and care that we can provide and will treat them with the utmost respect.
