“Maddie was a life saver. We had a dinner to attend and our dog was having issues with a new medication. We didn't want to leave her alone and Maddie responded quickly to a request for help. All went well and I hope that Maddie will come back again.”

“Highly recommend Breon! This was our first time leaving our pup overnight, and she made us feel very comfortable doing so. Great communication, our dog took to her quickly, and she left our place very clean as well. Thanks again!”

About: Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to care for several dogs and a cat with a variety of personalities and needs. I’ve cared for a Pitbull mix, Chihuahua, Australian Shepherd, a Terrier mix, and a Maine Coon cat. I’ve also been a pet parent to a Cane Corso/Lab mix, so I’m very comfortable around larger breeds and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and proper care. I’m comfortable giving medications and following specific care routines. I’ve provided medication for pets as well as my own, so I understand how important it is to be reliable and attentive when it comes to health needs. I truly love animals and enjoy getting to know their individual personalities. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away — treating them with the same attention and kindness I’d want for my own I am available Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for drop-ins, walks, pet care, and overnight stays. On weekdays, I work Monday–Friday from 8 AM–5 PM, but I am available for early morning visits between 6 AM–7:30 AM for feeding, medication, potty breaks, and walks, as well as evening care from 5:30 PM -8:30 PM I teach yoga on Mondays and Thursdays, so my availability on those days is limited. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine and find a schedule that works best. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, personality, and individual needs, including feeding routines, walks, medication, and any special instructions. I understand that pets can feel stressed when their people are away, so I provide a calm, patient presence and plenty of attention while respecting their home and environment. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“A wonderful job as always! Nallie kept us updated with photos and texts and we were able to enjoy our short trip knowing she was talking care of our fur baby. Thank you Nallie!”

“Leslie was very patient with my reactive dog while he warmed up to her! She stayed with him for over a week at my home and left it clean and he was happy’”

Annie K.

“Alicia was great! I could tell from the pictures that our pups felt comfortable and at ease with her. When we came home, the dogs and cats all were happy to see us and were calm. I could tell she took excellent care of them because they were all happy and relaxed when we got home(and three of them have anxiety). Our house was clean and everything how we left it. 100% recommend to anyone looking for high quality care! Will definitely call her again for future pet sitting needs.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for two dogs in my home at the same time, including my own dog and a young Bernese Mountain Dog. I took care of all their everyday needs, including walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of time outside when the weather allowed. I also consistently worked with both dogs on basic training, commands, and good walking habits. They were both quick learners, and I really enjoyed helping them build new skills while keeping training positive and fun! I have a very flexible schedule and have a lot of control over when I work. I am a substitute teacher, a volleyball skills trainer at T3 Performance, and occasionally work at a restaurant/bar when it fits into my schedule. I am also a head high school volleyball coach for Fairview, so during volleyball season I am typically at the school for about three hours in the evenings. Outside of that commitment, I’m able to adjust my schedule and plan my availability around the needs of the pets I’m caring for! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will make sure to follow their normal schedule and any instructions you leave for me. This can include feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, medications if needed, and lots of love and attention! I can also help stay consistent with crate training, basic commands, or other routines you are working on at home. I know every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to learn their personality and what makes them feel most comfortable. I will also send pictures and updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is safe, happy, and being well cared for!

“Liz was outstanding! Her communication was excellent and she took wonderful care of our furry family member for us! Highly recommend!”

About: Hello! I am an animal lover who has multiple years of care experience. I have a puppy so I am aware of the special care needs they may have. I also specialize in cats. I am flexible when it comes to cancellations and care times. I work second shift so I am able to provide care in the mornings or late at night. Late night care does not bother me, as I am a night owl! I am able to board, however I would prefer cats or small dogs. In my spare time I love to exercise, so I would love to take your pup on a long walk! I love animals, so rest assured your friend will be in loving, caring hands when you are away! I work overnights, so I am able to provide care in the mornings, during the day, and in evenings. I am flexible when I need to be! I reside in an apartment and have a large, unfenced yard. Perfect for supervised playtime! I have 2 friendly cats that would love to keep your pet company.

“Megan and Jeremiah were great. It was only one night, but they took great care of my foster dog, Zoey. They left my house prsotiem and even took out my garbage! They were both very friendly and kind.”

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I've owned dogs of all breeds and sizes over the years, and currently share my home with my five-year-old Boxer, Olly. Olly has multiple allergies and follows a strict homemade diet, so I understand the importance of sticking to special diets, medication schedules, and individualized care. I know every pet has unique needs, and I'm happy to provide the extra patience and attention they deserve. Rain, snow, or sunshine, walks and playtime are always part of our routine! I've also discovered that I'm quite the cat lover. We adopted our cat, Dodger, a little over a year ago, and he has completely stolen our hearts. Whether your cat loves to play or prefers a quiet companion, I'm happy to give them the care and affection they need while you're away. In addition to dogs and cats, I'm comfortable caring for reptiles and small mammals too—just please, no tarantulas! I treat every pet as if they were my own because I know they're family. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. Whether you need regular walks, drop-in visits, or care while you're away, I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I make communication a priority. I'll send updates, photos, and plenty of tail-wagging (or purring!) moments so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I'll follow your instructions carefully, whether that means feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or plenty of belly rubs. I understand that every pet has their own personality and preferences. I'll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I'll keep things clean and tidy, lock doors and make sure your pet is safe before I leave.

“Christabel was great with my cats, and she was very communicative during my trip. I appreciated her ability to take my booking, even though it was last minute. I will definitely keep her in mind for future trips!”

Tori H.

“What wonderful people! I feel like Joshua and Mauren cared for my dog as they would their own. Their level of communication never left me wondering how things were going back home, while I was away. We had asked them to stay in our home, and they took such good care of it. I wouldn't hesitate to ask them to be a caregiver for my dog in the future.”

Kim G.

“Steve did a great job caring for my Labrador retriever while I was out of town. He provided updates with pictures, treated my dog like his own, and took good care of the house. Will definitely be keeping Steve on our list of rotating dog sitters!”

About: I've been an animal person my entire life. I grew up helping pet-sit the neighborhood dogs, and my family loved a rescue German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix from the time I was 10 (she was 2) until she was 15 - she watched us grow up and even visited my college house. As an adult, my heart belonged to January, a border collie/American Staffordshire terrier mix I brought home in my late 20s after seeing her story on the news. She was an energetic, clever puppy who taught me patience, consistency, and the value of positive training. We had 13 wonderful years together before she passed in November 2025. Losing January left a hole in my routine and my heart, and I’m not quite ready to adopt again - but I’ve found real joy and healing in caring for other people's pets. I've recently house-sat and hosted dogs, cats, and birds for friends and family, from puppies and kittens to seniors on medications with special needs. That experience, plus a gentle nudge from the people who suggested Rover, is what brings me here. I've used the same trusted vet since I was a kid and know the ropes - comfortable administering medication, contacting the vet, or getting emergency care if needed. Your pet will be loved, watched closely, and cared for like one of my own. I work a hybrid schedule: two days at home (typically Monday and Friday) and three 8-hour days in an Avon Lake office (Tuesday-Thursday). My schedule is flexible and easy to swap these days. I can use my noon lunch break for midday walks, potty breaks, and playtime if you're within 5-10 miles of my location. I’m available in the evenings after work for walks, feeding & visits. I'm also happy to water plants, bring in mail, and handle other small house-sitting tasks. I live in a cozy Lakewood duplex on the first floor with a front yard and porch that dogs (including my former dog and the neighbors’ dogs) love to lounge on. I have a yard stake leash available for safe outdoor time. I already have bowls, beds, leashes, and other supplies, so your pup won't need to travel with a pile of gear if you don’t want to. I can board up to two dogs at a time -any size, any friendly mix - but I don't board cats in my home (happy to care for them at yours).
