“My dog Jojo and her cousin Ruby spent 6 nights with Kathy while my family was on vacation with my sister’s family. I was very nervous to leave Jojo, because she had never been left with anyone else before since getting her as a puppy in 2020. Kathy was wonderful! She was so kind and caring towards the dogs. It was so great to get her daily texts and pictures! I could tell both Jojo and Ruby were so well taken care of, and I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation. I would most definitely have Kathy take care of Jojo again. ;)”
“We are so happy we found Sarah and Tobi. Our little Nicolás was so happy with them and quickly adjusted to his stay. Sarah was extremely helpful, understanding and responsible. She treated our baby as if it was hers. Highly recommended! We will book another stay with her for sure! Thank you Sarah!! The Ocasio Wagner Family.”
“Amazing dog sitter, would highly recommend. You can really tell that she and her husband care and love the dogs so much. So glad and reassured that Miso was in their hands for a week and had so much fun. Would book again for future trips!”
“Roselie and Kevin are awesome caretakers! You can tell they really loved and took good care of our dogs. They sent a picture or video each day which we loved! And they were very understanding and flexible when our flight home got delayed twice. We are so appreciative of them!”
“Stacie and Doug are the best! They treated our Westie like the Queen that she is and sent us notes so we could remain connected. We met in advance of our booking to get to know each other and they were very kind when I had some last minute changes to our agenda. Our pup got along very well with their pup and we would recommend them for your pup as well!”
“Sligo had the best time playing with Sarah and Brendan’s pups all weekend! Thank you so much for taking such great care of him! We will definitely be using them again :)”

“Thank you so much Summer for taking such good care of my baby! I loved seeing the photos and videos every day and she was so nice about letting us visit ahead of time which put my anxiety at ease. Will definitely book with Summer again next time I gotta go out of town !”
“Tori was awesome! I received daily updates and multiple pictures which made me so happy! Bailey was in such great hands! She had cuddles, treats and lots of fun with her dogs Barley and Porter. If you want your pup to have fun and feel home I highly recommend Tori. Bailey can’t wait to see them again!”
“Boarding with Clifford was simple in every step of the process! He took great care of our pup. His big fenced in back yard is the perfect spot for everyone to play and get their energy out! We were very happy with Clifford's care and will look to return in the future!”
“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”

“Excellent service and care of my dog. Tina and Rick gave me multiple photos, videos, and text updates throughout the day.

I had a wonderful experience with this sitter! She took great care of Morty and Archie while I was away and made sure all of their needs were met. She kept me updated throughout their stay with plenty of photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and treated them like her own. Both dogs came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust her with my pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
This was my first time using Rover or even boarding my dog with someone who wasn’t a family member. Needless to say, I was pretty nervous about it and when I dropped my dog off, she was so worried and upset. But Hannah was a pro. She never made me feel like I was asking about my dog too much and alleviated any worries I had, always with a calm and understanding demeanor. Sent plenty of pics and updates and it wasn’t long before my dog warmed up to her. Thanks again Hannah!
Devon was awesome! She took great care of my GSP while my husband and I were away. He is a special needs dog and she unfortunately had to experience two episodes while we were gone. She handled it amazingly and kept us updated. Our dog requires medication and Devon was on top of it. Know your dog will be in great hands with Devon! Would highly recommend. She was very accommodating and took great care of our guy.
We are so grateful for Karlee’s help! Karlee was easy to communicate with, so joyful, super punctual, and very loving to our dog. Our family loved getting updates and photos of our dog having adventures while Karlee boarded our dog for the day. We highly recommend and look forward to booking with Karlee in the future!
We had a wonderful experience with Mary! I had to find a Petsitter last minute during a family emergency. Mary made the whole process incredibly easy and stress-free. She sent plenty of pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind, and my little Andy looked happy and well cared for the entire time. Drop-off and pickup were super smooth, and her central location near downtown was really convenient. I would absolutely book with her again—A++ experience!
Olivia was an amazing Rover sitter! She and her partner took such great care of Charlie. He was so happy when we picked him up, which says everything. They were also very flexible when our pickup time changed, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be using them again in the future! Thanks again for everything!
100% recommend! Jenna took such great care of my dog, Bee! I’m not from the Cleveland area but I’ll definitely be a repeat when I need Bee boarded again when I’m in the area. Thank you so much for putting my anxious dog at ease and taking such great care of her!
Shirley is truly amazing. She’s attentive, patient, and treats my dogs as if they were her own. I never have to worry because I know they’re safe, happy, and surrounded by kindness. The care, consistency, and heart she puts into what she does is truly incredible. From the moment I met her, it was clear she has a genuine love for animals, and my little crew feels it every single time they’re with her. Bianca and Dolce absolutely adore Shirley. Knowing my dogs are so deeply loved and cared for when I’m away brings me complete peace of mind.
