“Not only is Kris a lovely person, she has extensive knowledge and experience when it comes to dogs. Our dog was anxious and reluctant, but Kris’s gentle perseverance got the job done. Will most certainly request her help in the future!”


“Booking drop-ins for my dogs without a lot of heads up could not have gone better with Madison! She responded to messages quickly and gave thorough updates with lots of pictures every time she took my pups for a walk. I would 100% recommend her and certainly use her again!”


“Rover wouldn't let me leave a tip large enough to show my gratitude. Heather was amazing, thoughtful, and treated our baby with the best care we could possibly ask for. We will ask for her every time we travel.”


“I’m very happy that I found Melissa! She was very gentle and kind with my beloved cat, she spent the entire time of her visit with him, sent me detailed update and cute pictures! Really appreciate her help and for sure will book her service again! Also very pleasant communication with her! Definitely can recommend Melissa!”


“Laura did a great job with our kitties! She even took the time to bring in boxes from our porch. We have an older cat with an unusual no-litter situation which she was very willing to work with. It helped make our vacation less stressful knowing our boys were in good hands!”


“She was incredibly flexible as my roommate had a funeral and had to change her availability. I appreciate her professionalism, flexibility, and last-minute booking. Literally when she walked in the house, all three dogs and two cats were super affectionate with her. She kept me updated when she came and sent photos. I would highly recommend!”

“Tesla did a fantastic job with my two kitties. She followed my directions, gave them lots of affection and sent me detailed notes and lots of pics after each visit. Highly recommend!”


“I have never been away from my pets for more than a few hours since I’ve had them for two years. So going away for 2 to 3 days made me so incredibly anxious and I did so much research to find a good sitter for them. Abigail was absolutely the right choice. She is such a good communicator and adding that with the pictures she sent of the babies, it quelled my anxiety. She saw Zoe was whining and pawing at her kennel (which she does even if we’re there lol) she even offered to stay about another hour or so with her. That made me feel so great that she took that initiative to stay with her. The house was left exactly the way we left it. They were all fed, hydrated, and safe. For future visits, we will definitely be booking with her again. If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced sitter, I would absolutely recommend her.”



About: Hi there, my name is Molly! I love dogs and I have over 15 years of experience working at a dog kennel. At the kennel, I cared for over 350 dogs a day, walked, bathe, fed, trained, administered medicine and made sure they enjoyed their stay! I also grew up with three large dogs and have over 10 years of dog/ house sitting experience. I currently work at a marketing agency downtown. I am clean, friendly and responsible and have a flexible schedule. Non-smoker and I have reliable transportation for overnight stays/ walks/ drop-ins. When I lived in Boston I had a 1 year long relationship with my client and cared for his dog like it was my own! Trying to find something similar in Cincinnati. I currently work full time but my schedule is very flexiable. I need to be in the office from 9-5 Monday - Friday but can leave during lucnh to check on long-term boarders. I recently lost my dog so my house is equipt to accomidate a dog. I have tons of toys, beds and a large back yard and trail by my house for playing.

“Melissa does such a great job with taking care of our kitties while we are out of town. She spends a lot of time playing with them and giving them pets. We really appreciate her.”


About: As a dog-momma to two pups, I know how frustrating and scary it can be to find someone you trust to take care of your dog while you're away. There's peace of mind in knowing that your dog is at home, in familiar surroundings, and being well taken care off. I'm happy to provide drop-in visits for your pups, making sure they get all the belly-rubs they need until you get back! I also provide daily walks, so your pups have time to get oustide, explore, and use up some excess energy! I am experienced with puppies and large-breed dogs, and am available routinely during the early mornings and evenings on weekdays, and all-day on weekends. Daytime weekday availability is flexible, but needs to be scheduled in advance. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! Pet care fits seamlessly into my life. I take care of dogs while working a full-time job, and I regularly adjust my daily schedule around the needs of my pets. Whether it's early morning walks, feeding times, or play sessions, I make sure their care is a priority and naturally integrated into my routine. I willll take care of pets in the comfort of your home by following your instructions closely, maintaining their routine, and providing love and attention.

About: I've rescued and fostered many dogs & cats as well. When there is a need for help with an animal, I'm the person that everyone calls. I do check in visits for family and dog sit also. I've rescued birds, mice and chipmunks, my heart knows no bounds when it come to animals. I will treat your fur baby, like I treat my own. I am self employed and work from home so I give my pets all of my time. I do not crate my dogs however I have an extra large crate TV stand in case I needed to. My home is designed around animals to make life easy and functional. I own my home, its a ranch home. There is one step in front and 3 to go out the back door. If your dog doesn't do well with steps, i have that covered and i have dog ramps if needed. We have a half acre yard in a wooded residential area that is completely fenced in. We are outdoors all the time and when my pets go out, I'm out there with them. I would care for your dogs the same way when in my home. My cats and dogs, co exist together great and my dogs love other dogs! My dogs have lived with fosters and foster fails! Pets are allowed on the furniture but not on my bed. In the event they wanted to sleep with my dogs in my room that would just fine. We have plenty of room and dog crates if we needed to crate them also.


“So great and patient with my difficult dogs. Even stayed longer with my one dog that wouldn't come inside. Very patient with difficult,scared,vocal dogs”


About: I’ve grown up with, fostered and been around dogs my whole life. I have a busy schedule during the week so having a full-time pet is not an option for me. Every other weekend I have my children and we love to foster pets/spoil other animals as much as we can! During a boarding experience I will make sure to check in as much as you'd like and send plenty of photos. I currently have every other weekend free and enjoy getting outside as much as possible. I’d love to take care of your pet for you if you aren’t able to walk them for the day. I look forward to having your trust while walking your best friend. Looking into boarding and have limited avaliability right now but hoping to expand that in the future!

“Leo was an excellent choice for a last minute drop-in for my two dogs Louie & Gino. They were very prepared for inclement weather and made sure our dogs were safe and cared for. Leo pays close attention to details and makes sure to cover all bases when caring for pets!”


“Tiffany has done a lot of drop in visits for us and overnight stays. She’s great at keeping in touch and sending photos. We always feel at ease when we have her taking care of our fur-babies.”

Tonia B.Star Sitter
“Tonia's life is surrounded by animals. She has rescued and/or nursed back to health dogs, cats, chipmunks, birds, turtles, you name it. She has watched my 2 pitbulls and 2 cats. Helped me with Vet visits when I'm stuck at work. I even call her when I think my dog is sick because she is knowledgeable of the typical things that go on with animals such as an abscess tooth or a tick on my dog. You can 1000% trust her to take the best care of your animals. 10/10 recommend.”

Lamarr G.

“Hi iv been taking my chow Shepard mix in to be groomed by lamarr for about 4 years now. She is not very friendly around people so I expected problems with her and expected that she may not be invited back. He is so good with animals and although Lexi did give some resistance he calmed her down and did a beautiful lion hair cut on her like I requested. On the first occasion my dog pooped all over my car and refused to go inside and he came out to my car and helped me clean up the mess and calmed my dog down and me as well. He invited her back and always is professional and accommodating to our needs. Excellent dog groomer on the west side of Cincinnati!!!! Thanks Lamarr from the Thomas family !!!!!!! ??”
Westwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jared took care of Fitz the cat in my home while I was away for a week. I thought my cat was going to be shell shocked and needy when I returned but instead he seemed pretty content. I would book Jared again in the future to take care of my pet without hesitation
