“Anna was great with my pup! She had never been cared for by anyone and was very afraid. Anna was very patient with her and made her feel comfortable. Would definitely book her again!!”
“Keerie is so wonderful! She took such fabulous care of my two kitties while I was on vacation. She provided amazing care to my two cats who need meds every day and even opened and closed the windows in the house for them while I was gone. she always made sure they had plenty of food of water and kept the house and litters in spotless condition. Keerie went above and beyond and sent the perfect amount of updates, posts, and pictures and I will certainly be rebooking with her for future trips or when I leave again! Keerie is so kind and loving and treats your fur babies like her own. She is thee best. I was so thrilled to have found her. Thank you Keerie!! - Ashley, Ellie Jo, & Harlow Gray 🥰😻😻”
“Dee did a wonderful job taking care of our cat while we were away. We enjoyed meeting her before our trip and appreciate how thorough and helpful she was. We highly recommend her.”
“She was absolutely amazing got good pictures of my babies every time she visited and also had very good communication. My cat seemed very happy and healthy when I got back!”
“Monica was fantastic! Reliable and efficient. We actually enjoyed vacation because of Monica! Updates and pictures daily. A+ service and without a doubt, would use her again.”
“Matthew responded to all messages promptly and kept me updated throughout the day with photos. We were able to relax on our trip knowing Jake, Luna & Stella were in good hands.”
“Rebekah was fantastic with my kitty Nyla. She is way more experienced than I am with cats, so it was awesome. She came to check on her 2-3 times per day, played with her, fed her & even turned on Cat TV for her. I got lots of notes each visit & pictures. I will for sure be using her in the future:)”
About: I have owned cats my entire life, and I have been raising my own for the past 7 years. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I am a student and working part-time this summer, so I will have a lot of availability and can be available on short notice if needed. I have a calm energy and can read your pets body language very well. Perfect for if your furry friend is more on the anxious side! I will bring patience and understanding to any type of personality.
About: 🐶I’ve taken care of our Family Rottweiler, Mini Schanuzer and Elderly Shitzu mix. I’ve also had my Chihuahua since I was a teenager. With that being said, I am very experienced with dogs of any size from pup to senior 🐕🦺. I work from home which makes it easier to spend time with the pups as well as keep a close eye on them. This is extremely convenient if your fur baby has separation anxiety! I have a fenced in yard and two Fur babies to keep your Pup company during their stay! I’ve also got a large crate if needed.
About: I have owned and cared for both dogs and cats throughout my life for extended periods of time. I provide them plenty of loving attention and do all the related chores necessary when caring for them. I am a stay-at-home parent of three cats. However, I am able to leave whenever needed to provide care to other animals, as the other owner of our cats will often be home to continue their care. I care for pets by making sure they eat their tasty meals and treats, keeping them company with playtime and plenty of pets, cleaning up after them on a daily basis, providing them exercise, and anything necessary.
“We have been looking for the perfect person to sit with Kato. And we found her. Zoey was so good with him. He went to her as soon as he saw her. Very rare for him. He has anxieties. We have been looking since we retired to be able to travel more. Shame it is only a 5 star rating.”
“Audrey was amazing and we loved having her watch our two cats. The boys immediately warmed up to her and hung out while she was at our house. We have one cat who does not like many people but even he enjoyed his visits!! Would recommend.”
About: I provide a one on one Level of care and attention for your pet. Spending quality time with the pets is very important to me I currently work part time but have a flexible schedule. I am avaliable for Boarding at my home as well as drop in visits daily. I have a Freindly and playful Golden Retiever I like to give my full attention on your pet to make the stay/visit a enjoyable experience.

Akron cat parents share their Rover experiences
Dee is absolutely fantastic! I am so grateful for her intuitive, empathetic care for our two cats. We’re not used to going away so I had more concerns with how the cats would handle it. When we returned the cats greeted us at the door like normal! Getting daily photos helped make being away easier. Dee is a great thoughtful communicator. I am so grateful she offers her expertise to care for all our lovable critters.
Brianne did an amazing job with my pets! I felt very good leaving them in her hands while I was on vacation. She sent great photos and updates while I was away and the kitties were clearly well taken care of while I was gone. She even did a good job with Sushi-- my more anxious cat.
Abby is kind, friendly and a great communicator. She watched our two cats over the holidays, and our cats loved her! Our finicky cat who normally hides from strangers for days was sitting in Abby’s lap within the first two days of our trip. She kept our place clean, and let us know if anything was wrong, or had any questions. We will absolutely book Abby again when we go out of town.
