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 is the best! He took such great care of our dogs. Gave them treats, belly rubs, and made sure their needs were met. Even cleaned up one of our dogs after an accident. He was very respectful of our home and neighborhood. Also, such a wonderful person.”


“This was our first experience with Rover and Laura eased our mind and exceeded our expectations! Laura was responsive to our questions and came to meet Charlee before their first walk. She’s knowledgeable about all kinds of pets/animals and is clearly passionate about caring for them. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”


“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: 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.

About: I've had pets all my life. They are family and I treat them as such. Your pet will be well care for under my watch. I am retired now. I'm looking for a fulfilling way to make extra money doing something I love. Why not care for another's pet daily. I can only come to the pet's residence. Since I am a cat owner, I understand that they need to be in their own environment. Also, I'm not sure how my cat would act if I brought your pooch to stay for the day. I have no problem caring for your pet in their own environment.

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.


“My Boston Terrier instantly loved Molly and expressed such excitement meeting her in which she typically only greets my family or close friends with. I felt immediately comfortable handing over my apartment key and trusting Molly with my fur baby. She asked lots of questions and was willing to go above and beyond my dog walking expectations. Also, I loved that Molly sent me a photo of them while at the park. I would highly recommend her to look after your fur baby!”


About: When Covid started, I accidentally started my business by helping a couple people who adopted dogs outside of their care knowledge. Helping them with their working class dogs (pitbull, collie, and a GSP) and establish a better owner/pet relationship made me realize that this is the right move for my future. Since then I have started my own business as well as helping others with their new family member(s). No creature is too small or large for me. My smallest dog client is 3 pounds and the largest is 215. Aside from that I have expanded my practices with lizards, snakes, cats, and birds. Let me know if you have any questions in the meantime! I am home most of the day. I do part-time work in hospice as well as part-time classes; (I have a door bachelors degree already working towards a BSN). If you have a special needs animal, I am more than happy to comply with their schedule, I just need to know in advance as much as possible. I have a fenced in yard in the back (will have a fully fenced in yard by the end of August in the front). My dogs have a semi strict schedule of activities to keep them mentally/physically stimulated. I follow suit with everybody’s dog. Everybody eats in their own crate, is provided with soft bedding to sleep on in their own crate, but exercise thoroughly throughout the day.


“We booked Karen to walk and feed our pets for the weekend, and she did a great job. She was very thoughtful and proactive with regard to asking questions about how and when we wanted everything done. She communicated clearly and frequently with us while we were away, so we could relax knowing everything was well in hand. The pets loved her so much, I think they may have been a little disappointed that we came home. Highly recommended!”
