About: I have grown up with dogs and have a 2 year old cat named Milo. I’ve helped friends and family watching their pets while out of town for over 10 years. I am currently working part-time, so I can be flexible with your schedule. Please contact me for more details. I am frequently available 9 AM - 5 PM M-F, and most weekends too. I will follow your instructions to the best of my ability and give frequent photo and text updates! I have experienced many different personalities and will make sure you come home to a happy buddy!
“I needed help last minute. Savannah was more than willing to help and responded quickly. She took tons of pics of my boy and adjusted to our needs. I will be contacting her again.”
About: Hello! Ive been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I have loads of experience in walking and sitting for friends and family. Seniors and puppies are welcome!! I work part time, and I am in school part time (I only have one in-person class), so my schedule has many gaps in it. I’ll always greet them, say hello for a minute, Then I’ll let them outside and I’ll make sure they use the restroom. After that, I’ll refill their water and play with them until its time to go, or time for a different activity.
About: I have watched over many of dogs in my lifetime, including my own dog who recently passed away due to old age in May. I loved taking him on long walks in the park, or in my neighborhood, and giving him lots of love and cuddles! I grew up always caring for animals and which I am very passionate about, and treating them like they are my own! A lot of my neighbors owned dogs, so whenever they went out of town I would always be the one to help out and pet sit! I am so excited to be part of Rover and can't wait to meet your furry friends! I currently graduated from college and looking to do some pet sitting and walking!! I have every morning available Monday-Sunday! I currently have 2 bernedoodles and keeping them active and busy is very important to me- and I want your furry friends to feel the same! I am very passionate about giving the right care that your pet needs, and following the exact rules that the pet owner requires. I am very patient, so having your pet have trust in me is very important to me when taking care of them.
“Lynette is truly wonderful with my dog, Hannah. She cares for her with so much love and attention, and I always have complete peace of mind knowing Hannah is in her hands. Lynette spoils her like she is one of her own, and Hannah absolutely adores her. In fact, when I return from a trip, Hannah will sit by the door waiting for Lynette to come back! That says everything about the special bond they share. Lynette is the only sitter I trust and the only one I will book.”
“Alexandria was great with our pets. When she had a question that we didn't cover earlier she didn't guess, she did the right thing and asked. We would definitely book with her again.”
“Katrina was great with our girl! She came to take her out halfway through the day. We told her that if she wanted to walk our girl, she could but it was not necessary! Our girl got more than 1/2 a mile walk and was super happy when we got home!!!!”
About: I love dogs and all animals. I had started a dog-walking/boarding service in downtown Cleveland while I was living at the 9. I had four clients who I worked for daily; I would take the dogs for a walk outside (or if raining, play with dogs at the dog park in the building,) I would clean up after them and change the bedding in their crats daily. If the pet's parents liked to have me take them on a route, they knew I would follow that, and I always follow the rules that the dog was brought up in as not to have bad habits with the parents come home. I know how to put on any harness and what to in emergencies. I love animals and get excited when I see one every time! I work remotely and can accommodate anything! I follow every schedule the babies have and I leave home as it was (or even more clean.) I also am very much understanding and will not go into any room with doors closed or anything without asking! I work from home and I am very responsible and consistent with my schedule! I am accommodating and follow ALL house rules and your babies are my first priority!
About: I’ve had pets my whole life! I recently trained my own puppy into an adorable and respectful good listener! I have experience with anxious dogs and rescues. I am a student with full time availability Thursday evening through Tuesday morning every weekend! I am able to stay over or simply stop by! I leave every place a little better than I found it in terms of tidying up! I also treat every pet like part of my own family!
“Carolyn did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats while we were out of town! We were hesitant because we had always had family members watch our cats and had never used a service like this but after the great experience, we won't hesitate to use Carolyn again in the future! We appreciated the pictures she sent us and she communicated well every time she stopped by. We were able to enjoy our trip without stressing about how our cats were doing because we knew they were well taken care of. Thanks Carolyn!”
About: I have professional animal care experience of 4+ years working in a dog daycare/boarding facility and in pet stores where I cared for small mammals, reptiles, and fish. I've also had dogs and cats my whole life. New to cleveland area, looking to explore and earn on this side gig! I currently work as a bartender- almost exclusively at night, so my days are very open! The perfect fit for me would be jobs in the early afternoon. With love, kindness, and respect! Animals are living creatures and should be treated as such. That being said I'm aware certain animals will need specific care and would do whatever I could to comply with them :)
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs growing up as well as friends dogs over the years. I walk / hike a lot and love being outside, if your dogs are comfortable at parks I’d love to take them out ! My friends and family have relied on me a lot for holidays and special occasions or to just check in while they work to take them on a walk or for some pets / play time. I always send photos for updates on how the fur babies are doing during our visits :) I’m very reliable and have a flexible work schedule that I know 2-3 weeks in advance. I’m always looking forward to meeting new people and their animals ! I do also work another job, but I know my schedule 2-3 weeks in advance and have breaks to come and check on pets also! I don’t care for any other animals at my home besides my own cats! But I always come and meet everyone beforehand and get a run down of everything I’ll need to know for the time I’m watching them!
About: I’m a champion for human & pets alike. Familial animals have been apart of my life since I was a young child & the subsequent years into my adulthood. I’ve assisted in the basic obedience training of 10+ dogs both in youth & elder-hood; temporarily lived with anxious pups whilst their parents traveled out of state; & I’ve formed genuine bonds with clients’ pets that I’ve routinely walked & tended to for years now. I’ve departed from traditional 9 to 5 employment to commit myself full-time towards the enriching of relations between all living beings, in particular, one Pet/Parent client at a time! Pet caregiving, dog handling & house sitting are my full-time job! Which fortunately means I’ve got quite a fluid weekly schedule capable of integrating a broad range of client scenarios. Mondays & Tuesdays between 9am and 9pm are my most flexible hours — services needed Wednesday thru Friday can be readily accommodated during our initial consultation. For clients interested in Boarding services - my home is a decently sized, fully furnished apartment with climate control functionality. During their stay with me your pets are welcome to languor however they normally would at home. I strive to make the stay as comfortable as possible for your pets whilst honoring whatever caregiving conditions/training you may request. If house-sitting your home is preferred, you can feel confident that your residence & loved-ones will be tended to with exemplary care & that upon your return home, it will be in the exact same or better condition than when you’d left it!

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Aurora choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
