“We had a wonderful experience with Marisa as our cat and house sitter. She took excellent care of our home and left everything clean and well cared for. When Kitty broke a potted plant, she let us know right away and cleaned it up with no fuss at all, which we really appreciated. Our cat was clearly happy, relaxed, and well looked after when we returned, and we loved receiving so many photos and updates while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing our home and cat were in such capable, thoughtful hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to others.”
“Konnie was amazing as always! Our flight got cancelled and we had to extend an extra day and she made sure that our pets were the LAST thing we needed to worry about. I’m just sad she’s so popular because we are FINALLY able to start traveling again now that we’ve found her and she books up quick! Thank you Konnie!”
“Zoey was wonderful, both my cats warmed right up to her even my shy boy! She was super communicative and did a great job with my cats I will definitely rebook with her and would absolutely recommend her as a sitter!”
“This was a last minute booking that Tara was quick to respond to and set up a meet/greet for. I was very nervous to leave the dogs as we just recently rescued one with severe trauma/fear and another one healing from a recent surgery and still getting used to having his new brother in the house. I knew they needed someone very attentive and knowledgeable—Tara was just that and beyond! We had a slight issue that we did not anticipate with our rescue doggie and Tara was quick to inform us and navigate the issue to ensure both our dogs were happy and healthy in her care!”
“We highly recommend Owen as a sitter. This was our first time using the app and he was super easy to work with, responded quickly to messages, and took great care of our puppy! He kept us updated and sent photos. Our puppy had a great time!”
“Lori did a very nice job watching our pets while we were on vacation. They were well fed, she took the dogs outside often and watered our plants. She sent pictures of our pets every day and told us how they were doing. She informed us when she was leaving the house for a while and didn't stay away very long. We were impressed how well our chihuahuas liked her. Our dogs don't like very many people....at all. We look forward to having Lori watch our pets when we go on vacation again.”
“Sarah was absolutely great! She is great at communication both before and during the day, kept the house clean, and most importantly kept the animals safe while we were away. We are looking forward to using Sarah in the future!”
“Audrey takes the best care of my dog and home. She keeps me posted, including pictures, of their daily activities. She gives BamBam so much love that I’m sure he is very sad that she leaves when I return.”
“Frank was great, and took wonderful care of our dog Luke. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter. We will be using Frank for all of our future sitting needs.”
“I can’t say enough about how great Patience was with the dogs! I’m sure they felt they were on their own vacation! We have dog with medication needs and she was totally on top of it! Sent pictures and video updates! I think the dogs only complaint is that she left when it was over!”
“Sauddi was absolutely amazing! It took no time at all for my 2 dogs to warm up to her. She is loving, kind and knows how to provide an exciting time for the dogs. She provided pictures and updates daily. She took excellent care of the house. We will certainly use her again. Highly recommend Sauddi.”
“Thank you so much for staying with my girl while I was out of town! I couldn't be happier with how well my pup was cared for. She sent pictures regularly throughout the day and kept me informed of how my pup was doing. 100% would recommend to anyone for any critter.”
“Shayna had great communication. She sent pictures of my baby as requested. She was very kind and respectful of the house. I could tell that my pup was comfortable in her care. Would definitely book again.”
“What an absolute pleasure it was to have our dogs loved and cared for while we traveled. Breyeanna gave us frequent updates and sent wonderful photos. Our dogs are not friendly with strangers and Breyeanna became family to them. We were thrilled with the outcome. Thank you so much for caring for our dogs.”
“Nathan did a great job with our labs! He was very responsive, easy to work with, flexible and even handled a misrouted package delivery for us. We were delighted to have his help & really appreciate his availability and fast response.”
“Erin was fabulous with my 2 cats. She tooks lots of pictures of them to share with me. I could see that my boys were very happy and in great hands with Erin. I will definitely be reaching out to Erin again.”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life and am very comfortable caring for pets of all ages and personalities. From energetic puppies who need structure and play to senior pets who need patience, gentleness, and a slower pace, I understand how to adjust my care to each animal’s needs. I also have experience caring for cats and respects their routines, boundaries, and unique personalities. I am attentive to details like feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I do work full time as a warehouse supervisor. My shift is Monday - Friday working 10:30am-7:00pm at the latest. But I will be sure to keep your pet's routine and comfort my top priority. I am completely comfortable staying at the home so I can be there around the clock. I treat every pet like a part of my family like they are my own. I will be sure to follow your instructions carefully, you'll receive regular updates and pictures to see how your fur baby is doing.
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.

Akron pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first time using Rover, and honestly, we were a little hesitant about trusting the process. We've used boarding facilities in the past, and unfortunately those experiences didn't go well due to a lack of supervision and care. Halle completely set our mind to ease from day one. She was phenomenal from the start—attentive, communicative, and incredibly flexible when we accidentally mixed up some dates. She always kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our boy, Stirling, is a high-energy husky who requires patience, understanding, and someone willing to keep up with him. Halle handled him like a champ. She treated him with genuine compassion and care, and it was clear she took the time to understand his personality and needs. The biggest testament to how wonderful she is is Stirling's reaction to her. He gets excited every time she comes over, and after her visits, he'll sit by the windowsill waiting for her to come back. That's all the confirmation we need that he loves her just as much as we do. We can't recommend Halle highly enough. She is trustworthy, caring, reliable, and truly exceptional with dogs. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
Sarah is the most thoughtful and considerate dog sitter we have ever had. She is interested in knowing all of your pets’ unique needs, behaviors, and routines. We have referred her to other friends who equally prioritize dog + house sitting services and look to trust someone with experience. Our senior dogs have separation anxiety when we travel for work. Sarah gives us peace of mind knowing that they are given the genuine love, individualized attention, and comfort they are used to with us at home. No matter if it is a smaller trip, or a longer time away, Sarah is prepared, patient, communicative, and generous with our pups. We return home to a clean house every time. We could not recommend her more.
We were nervous about having a pet sitter; but, after meeting Randy, we decided to try it. We are not sorry that we did. He kept in contact with pictures and updates during the week. I could tell the pets were doing fine with him. The house was in great shape and even the yard. We would not hesitate to have him sit again.
Bridget was absolutely amazing, kind, and loving with our anxious girl, Maple. We were nervous to leave Maple while we left the state to visit family, but with having Bridget caring for our dog, those fears were quickly squashed. She provided daily updates and pictures on how things were going, took her for walks, and treated Maple as if she were her own pet. She also took great care of our home, and left a care plan at the end of her stay to give us even more insight into what Maple's days looked like while we were gone. I will 100% be rebooking with Bridget in the future and am so grateful for her!
Taevon was so amazing,I contemplated not writing a review to selfishly keep him available when I need but he deserves all the public praise!!! From beginning to end his response time to everything was basically immediate. He did a meet and greet with my two very old pups and came prepared to ask questions based off their profiles and info. One of our pups comes with a TON of issues and his needs and care are 1 of 1 for sure. Tae handled him and all his quirky needs seemlessly. I returned home to an immaculate home, and two peaceful content old dogs. We have two homes and honestly making sure they are always in Cleveland to f I need a sitter bc Tae is UNMATCHED in care!
Jake was the best! I was super nervous to leave my dogs for almost an entire week, especially because one of them has health issues and dog aggression. Jake did a great job reassuring me prior to and throughout my trip that my dogs were in the best of care. He gave regular updates, responded quickly, great communication, brought our mail in, and even left a note welcoming us home. Highly recommend!
This was our first time using Rover. Rebecca, came over to meet our pups and discuss expectations prior too us hiring her. She was very kind and our pups took to her immediately. She stayed in our home for 4 days. She provided updates while we were gone along with pictures. When we arrived home the dogs were very happy and excited. Rebecca took great care of them and our home. It looked exactly as we left it. I will be using Rebecca again for future travel. She did am amazing job.
Mallery was so amazing watching our pets! She watched our dog, Bash, for 11 days in our home and we also had two cats that she loved on and gave lots of attention to as well. She took great care of our home and brought our mail in for us which was so nice! We got updates on the pets while we were gone and when we got home, everyone was happy and healthy and our house was so clean too! Mallery was really amazing and we felt so at ease while we were on vacation knowing she was taking great care of our fur babies. We will definitely have Mallery watch our pets again in the future!!
Scott and Samantha are wonderful and cared for my 7 month old pup like she was their own! I was nervous about having to leave Corvi for a business trip since she is still so young, but they were very communicative and sent a ton of updates and pictures. I came home to a very happy and tired pup! Will DEFINITELY use them again and highly recommend!
Lillian was fantastic! She came over twice before booking, at my request, to get familiar with my 2 dogs. We had an unexpected illness in my dog and she was able to give him his medication while we were on vacation. We came home last night to 2 happy dogs, house in order, and pee pads washed!
