About: I am a mom to two cats who I adopted as kittens in 2020. Bringing them home was one of the best decisions I made. I’ve utilized pet sitting services in the past and they’ve given me so much peace of mind, I want to be able to do that for others too. I can care for cats of any age as well as small and medium dogs. I’m a big runner so walking is a fun activity for me! I can be flexible with my schedule and I’m here to help! I work part time as a Pilates Instructor so I have free time thought the week and weekends to do drop in visits for your pets. My schedule can be flexible and open. I prefer mornings but I can always make evening visits as well! I will do drop in visits at your home. As part of those, I’ll make sure that fresh food and water is put out, scoop any litter boxes, and administer medicine if needed. I can also bring in mail and packages that arrive while you are away, water plants, and take out trash.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a long time as they have always been a family pet for me, as we typically had 4 at time. I’ve also pet sat for neighbors and friends. I am currently not working so I have open availability. I have no pets at home so I am able to stay and pet sit. I have a car so can take dogs on rides and take them to parks and out for walks. I will make sure they are comfortable.
About: I have several years of cat and dog experience. I grew up with animals and have taken care of them from early ages all the way through senior ages. I love all animals like their my own and love taking care of them! I'm currently working full time. However, I have evenings, weekends and holiday's off. I am pretty flexible with my weekends and can accommodate you and your animals for any needs! I have lots of training in dog walking. I have a dog of my own who went through training as a puppy and I have always remembered my training with her when I deal with other people's animals.
About: I’ve taken care of and had dogs ever since I was a little kid. I love them and will always treat your dog like family! I work from home, so my schedule is flexible on being able to watch dogs while at home and taking them out on walks during the week! I live across from a dog park if they are comfortable with going there. There are lots of areas nearby where I can take dogs on a walk! Prefer to board dogs who are crate trained.
“Eva was amazing! She was so sweet and kind to my puppy, she was very punctual and followed all my instructions throughly! I would definitely recommend her to anyone and would love to book with her again!”
“Julie was great with our 160 pound 11 month old puppy. With us both being gone for the first time and the fact he is still supper excited and won’t listen well with new people in the house she did fantastic. She let us know how he was doing and took very good care of him. HIGHY RECOMMEND.”
“I was very happy with the services Tiffany provided watching our cats while we were out of town. One of our cats went into hiding and she went above and beyond trying to find her her. She reported in every day with pictures and stayed in touch with me throughout our time away. I'll definitely use Tiffany again for any future trips out of town.”
“Brittany was great at communicating with me, especially because my cat is antisocial. I didn’t anticipate Brittany seeing her so she let me know that the food and water were being consumed and she was using the litter box. It made my travels much easier! I’d book with Brittany again.”
“My dogs were great. Brendan checked in every time and sent me pictures. My dogs are very calm and I can tell no stress that we were gone for a couple of days. Would absolutely ask Brendan again. Thank you!!!”

About: I have had pets since childhood. Right now I am petless😞 so would love to take care of your babies! Please know you can trust they will get lots of love! I am currently unemployed and have lots of time to spend with your pet, playing or just sitting and loving them. Thank you for trusting and considering me. I will care for them by listening to what the owner instructs in either my home or theirs. Personally I think the pet is more comfortable in their familiar surroundings.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, I usually feed, walk, bathe, and even entertain my dogs, my friends dogs, and my family members dogs. I’ve helped train puppies before and have had to give medicine or specific treatment to dogs with certain needs. I’ve also taken care of Guinea pigs, hamsters, and a tortoise. I am currently a college student and have fostered multiple dogs while also taking care of my own dog by myself. First thing in the morning I let my dogs out then feed them and entertain them. I’ll clean my dogs ears, brush their teeth, bathe them when needed. Let them sleep and play and continue the process of letting them out Since my apartment does not have a yard, I take my dog out on a leash at least 4 times a day and may vary depending on her diet. She gets fed twice a day. In your own home I will respect how you take care of your dogs, and closely follow your rules. In my care, I will keep my eyes on them and take note of anything out of the ordinary, while giving you updates!
“Tyler is a a great gift as my dog sitter. He has helped out tremendously when I was in need of someone to watch my dog Horus. Tyler is one of three people I trust with my dog.”
About: Recently moved. New city, new neighborhood and ready to meet the neighbors! I just need your dog to walk and help me! I grew up with dogs, had a dog of my own and raised my kids with dogs. I miss the collar jingle in the house! I've trained and cared for several and can adapt to your process. Happy to help and provide peace of mind when you're not available to be with yours. I'm available early mornings, some lunchtime availability and evenings. Weekends fully available. My FT job is a hybrid schedule (I am in the office 3 days a week, 8-4:30). I live in a safe, friendly area, walkable community, parks (dog parks too) and more. Visiting dogs enjoy the views outdoors from my large windows, access to a sunroom and ground level deck to lay in the sun.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities for over 20 years. As a neonatal nurse practitioner, providing attentive, compassionate care is part of who I am, and I bring that same level of responsibility and love to every pet I watch. I’m the proud owner of Kona, my friendly 9-year-old Lab/Shar-Pei mix, and I have two young children who have grown up around dogs and are gentle and respectful with animals. Because of my flexible schedule, I’m available most days of the week and can provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with people, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: As a passionate animal lover, my journey into pet care began in childhood, growing up surrounded by cats who were always part of our family. My family and I have been rescuing dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Most of our pets were adopted by my parents, grandparents, and extended family, so I was raised in a home full of love, compassion, and furry companions. Additionally, I gained hands on experience caring for different dogs while living with American host families, which taught me how to understand and adapt to various pet personalities and routines. I’m now a proud cat mom of two, trying to give them the best life possible.🧡 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, especially outdoors. My day usually starts early with a walk or run, it's the perfect way for pets to get some fresh air, stretch their legs, and take care of their needs. Throughout the day, I make time for regular potty breaks, walks, and play sessions to keep pets active, stimulated, and happy. In the evenings, I focus on calm, comforting activities like cuddles or quiet time to help them relax and feel secure before bedtime. Since I have full availability, I’m flexible and can easily adapt to each pet’s schedule. I understand how important it is to maintain consistency with feeding, exercise, and attention, and I’m patient, responsible, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I follow all instructions closely to ensure consistency, whether it’s about feeding, walks, medication, or favorite toys and habits. I aim to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel secure and stress-free. I keep their space clean, make sure their surroundings are safe, and provide the attention and affection they need to feel happy and at ease. Whether I’m in my home or yours, your pet’s well being is always my top priority.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Avon Lake
Emily was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She was attentive, caring, and clearly took the time to make sure they were happy and comfortable. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She was communicative, dependable, and treated my dogs like they were her own. I came home to happy, well-loved pups, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely recommend Emily and would be thrilled to have her care for my dogs again! 5 Start sitter ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Susan took wonderful care of our Belgian Malinois, Lucy, while we were away. Anyone familiar with the breed knows they require an experienced, attentive, and caring person, and Susan gave us complete confidence that Lucy was in good hands. She kept us updated, made sure Lucy was well cared for, and gave us real peace of mind throughout our trip. Knowing Lucy was safe and happy allowed us to relax and enjoy being away. We couldn’t be happier with the care Susan provided. She is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet. Thank you, Susan, for taking such great care of Lucy!
Heather was amazing! She sent photos of my baby girl daily during her visit or on their daily walks. Heather was always on time and stayed the entire 30 minutes. It was a relief finding someone like Heather to take care of my dog while I was away. I would definitely recommend heather for your dog sitting needs.

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
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 Avon Lake 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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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 Meet & Greet .
