“We feel very relieved knowing that Caitlin will look after our 3 cats while we're away. She listens about the cats' temperaments' and sends us photos. Thanks, Caitlin, for a great job!”

“Susan did an outstanding job taking care of Lucy during our time away. She arrived exactly on time for each drop-in visit, communicated clearly and consistently, and kept us well informed throughout. Lucy is a Belgian Malinois with plenty of energy, and Susan handled her confidently and professionally. It was clear Lucy was well cared for and comfortable in her care. We truly appreciated her reliability and attention to detail. I would absolutely recommend Susan to anyone looking for dependable, high-quality care for their pet.”

About: I love pets! I have a few of my own (dog, cat, guinea pigs, and fish!) and pride myself on being a very good caretaker. I am comfortable watching and walking any size of dog and love getting to meet them all! I have multiple years of experience watching pets for family and friends, and have always had great results. I frequently watch dogs but I am more than comfortable watching dogs and cats as well. I truly enjoy meeting as many animals as possible and I treat all animals as if they are my own to make sure they are safe and happy! My schedule is very open at the moment! I am more than able to add pet care to the routine. This includes any times for walks or drop ins. I take care of pets in a clients home just like I was taking care of my own fur-baby! They get pristine care and all of the pets!
About: My family has had multiple dogs at all times since I was a kid. I currently have a miniature schnauzer that is 1 1/2 years old. She loves going on walks and meeting other dogs!! I am currently working from home, I often take my moms dogs to the park and for walks with us so the more the merrier! dogs can have their run of the house and backyard, i live close to a park to take them to run around or just long walks if preferred
“Madelyn was excellent. Her communication was great leading up to the visit. She was punctual, arriving 5 min early. Kissy warmed up to her quickly which made us feel really comfortable with leaving her with Madelyn. She was very sweet, professional, and listened to all our directions and expectations with the visit. We received an update with pics while away that put our mind at ease. Upon return, we chatted about how things went and our dog seemed happy and well cared for. I was really pleased with how the visit went and look forward to using Madelyn again in the future.”

About: I have a strong background working with animals of all kinds—from wrangling 60+ horses at a working ranch, to helping kids with special needs ride and care for horses through a PATH program in Rocky River. Animals have been a huge part of my life, and being around them brings me a deep sense of joy and purpose. I have completed my doctor of physical therapy degree and am currently working PRN, so I have time to work with animals! I also volunteer with Love-A-Stray’s cat division, assisting with feeding, cleaning, and trap-neuter-release efforts. At home, I care for five rescue cats (mostly tabbies!) who are social, playful, and get along great with one another.
“Jocelyn has done several drop-in visits for us in the last couple weeks. She's done a great job bonding with Leia during these short visits and always makes herself available for our requests. She'll be home sitting for us mid-October and I have no doubt she'll do a fantastic job with that as well.”
About: Hi. My name is Amanda and I love all dogs. I am looking forward to getting your fur baby out for multiple breaks during your busy schedule. Please feel free to ask any questions. I am open to more flexible times than what I was able to click through Rover. Currently, I do not have a fur baby, he passed away and my heart is broken. He was a very needy English Bulldog that required a lot of attention, so I am use to meeting the needs of fur babies. I also like to take the dogs on car rides if they enjoy riding along and picking out snacks at the pet stores too. I’m looking forward to working with you in the future. Pet care falls into my daily routine because I am use to taking care of small humans and fur babies. I have helped our neighbors and friends over the years with their pets. I absolutely love animals and my family also loves animals. I enjoy playing with the pets and spending time with them because they sometimes feel lonely when they are home. I enjoy walking them and playing.
“Sabrina did an excellent job and kept me informed on her visits. Even sent me pictures. I definitely recommend her and will use her again. Rover is very professional . I highly recommend them.”

About: As an animal lover, I know pets are family—not just animals. I take pride in giving them the same love and attention they get at home. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just extra cuddles, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and stress-free while you’re gone. As an elementary teacher, I have a structured schedule that actually works really well for pet care. I’m available before and after school, in the evenings, and on weekends. During breaks and summers, I have even more flexibility, allowing me to provide extended care, walks, and drop-in visits. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on making them feel loved, safe, and comfortable—whether that’s sticking to their usual routine, giving them extra playtime, or just spending quality time with them. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I’ve had two dogs of my own since I was four years old. I helped train my second dog when I was 10 years old. I’ve looked after my neighbors dogs while they are away and I have been on Wag! For a year watching people’s dogs as well. I’ll not only make sure your pets are okay while I’m gone, but I’ll go the extra step and make sure they are loved and cared and play with them. I’m currently nannying for the summer from about 8:30-5:30 Tuesdays-Fridays. I’m usually free on the weekends while I’m home for the summer and can always stop by before work and after. At my own home I make sure my dogs are walked at least 2-3 times a day. I keep food off the counter so that the big guy doesn’t reach up and grab it. In your home I can do whatever you feel is necessary to make sure your pet is safe and okay.
About: I am an experienced and dependable pet caregiver with a Lifelong love for dogs. Having cared for three dogs, including both puppies and senior dogs, I understand the unique needs that come with every stage of a dog's life. In addition to caring for dogs throughout my life, I regularly dog sit and walk dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience with small, medium, and large breeds, caring for multiple dogs at once, administering medications, following feeding schedules, providing exercise, and offering overnight care when needed. Because I work from home, I have the flexibility to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. My favorite part of pet care is getting to know each dog's unique personality, building a bond with them, and seeing their excitement and tail wags when they feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, reliable, and caring experience that gives pet owners peace of mind while they're away. As a work-from-home pet caregiver, I’m able to provide pets with consistent attention throughout the day. I enjoy living an active lifestyle, including daily walks and regular exercise, so I’m comfortable handling dogs with a variety of energy levels, including larger and more active breeds. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or cuddles, I work pet care naturally into my routine and strive to keep each pet’s schedule as consistent as possible. I care for pets by prioritizing their comfort, safety, and normal routine in either my home or the client’s home. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I make sure each pet gets individualized attention based on their energy level, personality, and any special instructions from the owner. When caring in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all routines exactly as instructed so pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I keep communication open with regular updates, photos, and check-ins so owners always know how their pet is doing. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away.

About: Lifelong dog owner experienced with animals of all sizes. Reliable, patient, active, and dedicated to keeping pets safe, comfortable, happy, and extremely well cared for. I don’t start my full time job until July, so I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I always make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for in their own environment by following their normal routine and any instructions provided by the owner. I’m attentive, reliable, and focused on making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for during visits and walks.
About: I have been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember! I have taken care of dogs of all ages from little puppies to cute oldie senior pups. I have experience and comfortability with giving meds, going on long walks, and playing with lots and lots of toys. When I was little I would take care of my neighbors dogs with basic responsibilities like letting them outside and feeding them, which made my love for dogs grow even more. I started a summer "business" with my sister and friend just trying to find an excuse to play with the neighborhood dogs. I even got to take my love into a career when I worked in a vet clinic for almost two years during covid. When owners were not allowed into the building, I would be the one to love, hold and play with the animals during the appointment time so that they were still taken care of. I also worked down in the boarding facility, feeding, cleaning, and walking a ton of dogs who all needed to stretch their legs a little. I take time with each animal as much as possible, so not only do they get to spend time with someone, but they get to spend time with someone who actively is just as excited to see them! I currently work part time, mostly mornings, so any visits in the afternoon or evening would be perfect for my schedule! I get my schedule as early as three weeks in advance, so I know exactly when I am free about then. I can also stay with dogs, but need to be able to leave in the early morning but usually isn't a problem! I have done lots of combination house sitting and pet sitting for many of my neighbors throughout the years! I always clean up after myself, and leave the place better than I found it. I can also do some odd chores here or there if you would like, I have watered lots of plants! Keeping the pet in the comfortable environment is most important to me, as that is their home and I want them to be as cozy as possible while I am there.
Avon Lake pet parents share their Rover experiences
Amanda was awesome! The peace of mind knowing someone trustworthy was checking in on our cat and showing her some love while we were away was so nice. She sent us pictures and updates with every visit. Will definitely be requesting her in the future. Highly recommend!

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.
Susan was great for taking care of a last minute drop-in visit needed for our dog. She made sure she had all the necessary information. She arrived as scheduled and was thorough in her care for our dog. She sent a text message with a picture from each of her visits. Everything went very smoothly and our dog enjoyed her visits.
