Dog Sitting in Bay Village

“Erin was great. Timely, great photo updates, and no news to report. Will definitely be reaching out to her again! That was the first time using Rover, and first time leaving my dog for a full weekend without a family member, and all went well!”

About: Hello! My name is Kaitlyn and I am a 4th year veterinary student about to start my job as a veterinarian. I began working with pets 12 years ago at a local rescue where I grew up in Florida. Since then I have had a plethora of experience with all types of animals. I have worked in a shelter, many small animal general practice hospitals, cat cafes, a wildlife rehabilitation center, triage student for the veterinary emergency department at my veterinary school, etc. Throughout the last 12 years in addition to my many volunteer and working experiences, I have also looked after family’s and friends pets when needed. Due to having pets of my own, I provide drop in visits and walks right now. However I am open to discussing any additional visit types on a case by case basis. I currently have a ton of availability while I await starting my full time job and am able to spend a lot of time with your pets 😊 Don’t worry! Once I start my full time job (in July) I would still love to continue providing care to your pets during weekends and after work. Your pets safety and happiness are the utmost importance and I am to create a great relationship with not only your pets but you to create a stress free and enjoyable environment for everyone. Feel free to reach out anytime with questions or comments about your furry friends. I am very quick to respond and would love to chat about how I can help with you and your pets needs!

“Maura was wonderful. She was so attentive and sent amazing pictures. She’s reliable and has amazing communication. I will absolutely be using her in the future and I recommend her 100%!”

“Sarah was great. I have an older dog & cat and 2 younger cats who like to sneak out and she did great. Keeping tabs on my escapees wasn’t easy but she was able to do it which made me feel so much better being away.”

About: I say the above because for many years, my long time dog buddy, Shelby (pictured in the photo I'm holding), loved to ride in my car, right by my side. Shelby passed away in 2018 and I miss her so much, every day. In 2019, I rescued a blue heeler/beagle mix, Nova; then in 2024, a shepherd mix, Holly. Dogs have been my companions for more than 40 years, and I have loved caring for, walking, playing, vacationing and just plain hanging with them. . I truly love dogs. They are one of humankind's most noble and steadfast animal friends. I would very much enjoy taking your best friend (or friends) for a walk. I have always enjoyed the company of my canines...and I'm sure I'd feel the same way about your four-legged pals. Plus, getting out with them is great exercise...for both dog and human! I am semi retired, so I have much flexibility in the hours that can be devoted to dog walking. I walk my own dogs in all kinds of weather, which is necessary given the variable climate here in NE Ohio! In my own home, my dogs get out for walks at least three times a day, we well as potty breaks where necessary. They have crates where they can freely go to when they wish to. Most important is that the dogs and I adhere to a stable, regular routine, including feeding and playtimes.

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my professional experience as an animal keeper, where attention to detail, behavior observation, and quality care are essential every day. I’ve owned and cared for dogs throughout my life and genuinely enjoy being around them, whether at dog parks, beaches, or dog-friendly spaces. Even without a dog of my own currently, I stay actively connected to dogs and understand the exercise, enrichment, patience, and companionship they need to thrive. I currently work full time as a professional animal keeper, but I’m excited to spend my free time caring for even more animals. I’m available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks outside of my work hours, and I bring the same level of attentiveness, reliability, and compassion to pets that I do in my professional animal care career. I understand the importance of trust, responsibility, and attention to detail when caring for animals in someone else’s home. I am reliable, respectful of clients’ spaces, and committed to providing attentive monitoring, consistent care, and peace of mind while pets are in my care. I currently care for two cats, a lizard, and a boa, which has given me firsthand experience with the unique needs, behaviors, and routines of a variety of animals. Caring for such different species has strengthened my understanding that every pet is an individual and deserves personalized, attentive care tailored to their specific personality and needs.

About: I noticed I’m always offering to take care of everyone’s pets in my personal life (HUGE animal lover) so I figured it’s time to join Rover. I’ve taken care of other pet owners cats, dogs, and rabbits in the past. I’ve had cats, dogs, and rabbits as pets as well as hamsters, goats, ducks, and fish growing up. I grew up in a small town in Ohio and my grandparents had a farm so I was around farm animals often. I don’t currently have any pets of my own as I work 10 hour shifts 4 days a week (nurse) so I would absolutely LOVE to watch and walk your pets whenever I’m not at work! Since I work long hours and am not in a good position to get a pet of my own at this time, I would love nothing more than to share the love with your pet(s). I do have a full time job but I’m available on weekends and evenings after approximately 6:30pm (perfect time for walks!). I also have one off day during the week that rotates. I do not have any pets of my own so your pet would have my full attention (also a plus if your pet does not get along well with other pets).

“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’ve been caring for dogs since i was 14, i currently own a senior pitbull that i rescued 5 years ago, and we also own a black lab and terrier mix we have trained since puppies. I am a hairstylist, looking for another income, and whats a better way then to combine my love for animals and exercise then to provide a service for dog owners I would love to take your dog on walks, play with their favorite toys, give them approved snack, and feed them lunch or dinner if needed.

About: I have grown up with a dog in my house since I was born. I have taken care of neighbors and friends dogs while they have went on vacation or just out of town for work. Since moving away for college and now graduate school, I am looking for my dog fix since I cannot own one myself With the summer starting and vacations coming up I will do my best to be available for your dogs. I do have other responsibilities such as school and work but I am always 100% with my clients if I will be a good fit for the stay/drop or not. If you are looking to book with me but see my availability is different then what you’re looking for, please still send me a message and I will do my best to accommodate to make it work! Since I am not able to host dogs at my current place of residence, this will allow the dog to feel more comfortable with a stranger coming to take care of them while the owners are away for however long. I will adjust to their routine so they hardly notice the owners are gone. They will receive all the belly rubs and love they could ask for until their owner returns home

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I’m all about walks, belly rubs, and making sure your dog feels totally at home while you are away! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays and have a very flexible schedule on those days. I can care for your dog at my apartment or come to your location and offer up to 4 walks throughout the day. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, I’m home by 3:30 PM, so I’m available for walks, potty breaks, playtime, or drop-in care after that time. I’d be happy to care for your dog either at my place or by stopping by your home! When pets stay with me, they’re part of the family. I stick to their routine as closely as possible—meals, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved with plenty of attention, cuddles, and exercise. Whether your pup loves fetch or just lounging, I adjust to their personality and pace. I also keep communication open, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priority!

“Allan was great with my dog, Pippi. At the Meet & Greet he was very attentive to the details about what we needed during his drop-in. Pippi liked him right away and he was very good. You can tell he really enjoys being with pooches and giving them affection. He was very prompt in is arrival and sent seeral cute photos. Would highly recommend Allan!”

“Excellent service, made sure Bella was well fed and taken care of. Even cleaned up the messes Bella made of the pillow. Would highly recommend to others, will be doing business with her again in the future if needed.”

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 have a 5 year old male border collie named Rocky who is my absolute soul dog. My mutt Halo I adopted from a shelter in Lansing, Michigan while I was studying at Michigan State University in East Lansing. They are both born in July one year apart. I raised Rocky from puppyhood and taught him 30+ tricks. Rocky helped me raise Halo. I am an animal person in general. I love cats and dogs. I bar back at TopGolf in Avon and am a Host at Scramblers in Rocky River. I’m looking to become a dog trainer soon. Once I can afford my own house I will pursue a certification for it. I am friendly, polite, musical, and fun. I walk around 30-40K steps a day so I would love to meet and be able to walk your dogs for you. I also have a fondness for cats as well and used to take care of my neighbor’s cat Caramel when we were in college! I work Saturdays from 9am-3pm and for Top Golf I am still fairly new so I barely even get scheduled right now. It could pick up in the summer but regardless I have an incredibly flexible schedule for the time being. My border collie and pitbull mix Halo live with my parents and I in Westlake in an apartment. We have a secret off leash spot we like to use for them to run around and Rocky to play fetch in!

About: Hi! I’m Robert. I’ve had animals all my life (dogs, cats, fish, lizards, hermit crabs, raised praying mantids and butterflies). I trap and spay/neuter feral cats (TNR), feed birds, planted a pollinator garden in my yard…love nature and appreciate the relationship between humans and animals. My small dog Tyson is 11 or 12 years old and has some special needs (anxiety, hip-problems, blind in one eye, and I am his 3rd owner), so I know patience and compassion when it comes to senior dogs. Two of my cats I’ve had since they were kittens, and the third cat was abandoned by a neighbor and chose me as her new human when they left her. Happy to accommodate your companion’s special needs, and will be honest with you if there is something I don’t feel confident about. I also use two water fountain bowls, so your friend will have access to clean, moving water. I am a bar tender and have been doing that work since 2006, 12 years at my current bar. I work part time there and have a good amount of free-time which I can use to take care of of your dog. I have a large fenced in yard (176 ft of 6ft tall wooden fence) with plenty of shade, water bowls, central air and heating. Pets are free to lounge anywhere in my house, but I do prefer dogs to be crated if I am away for their own safety, and peace of mind for me :) Please let me know if you have any rules you have for your pets at home, feeding schedule, potty-break schedule, etc.

About: Hi there! Pets have always been a part of my life. I currently have a 4 year old Goldendoodle penny who is super energetic and playful! I love going on walks and playing with her! I currently am a stay at home mom with a lot of flexibility! My husband works from home so I am able to work around your schedule when you need me on week days and weekends! I will always follow all instructions to ensure that your pet is always safe and secure in your home! A loving and safe environment is the most important thing!

“Arielle is awesome! She is reliable and does great with our pups!”
