“Sydney and James were fantastic! We couldn’t have asked for better! They took such great care of our Teddy, and really took our worries away with traveling. Above and beyond service, they definitely treated our little guy like their own. Will definitely be contacting them again!”

“I could not be happier with Allyson taking care of my kitties. So thorough, sends great updates, and makes me feel like my kitties are well taken care of when I’m away. 100% look to book her every time.”

“Elinor was amazing! She just love cats! The way she connected with our boys was just impressive! They loved her since the first day!! For us it was a relief, knowing that they liked her! Every time she played with them, gave a lot of pets!! That makes a difference. And she took care of my plants and tomatoes :) I wont hesitate to book with her again! Cause I know that our boys will be in good hands!!!! I only have good things to say about her!!! I appreciate all she has done while we were gone on vacations!”

About: I love dogs and have been around them most of my life. Most recently I was lucky enough to have my yorkie for over 17 years. During your dogs stay with me I will treat them as if they are my own- getting lots of attention, walks, play time, and cuddles. I am committed to making sure your dog is happy, safe and comfortable during their time with me! I currently work from home the majority of the week. I am free on weekends so I can give your pup lots of time and attention! Your dog will be treated like a member of my family during their stay! They will get walks in my dog friendly neighborhood (along with a dog friendly park across the street), and lots of couch snuggles during TV binges. They will get lots of play time and attention!
About: I’ve been around and taken care of dogs since I was a child, I grew up with an Australian Shepherd and Border Collie in my parent’s home. Now I have a mini-Aussie of my own that I love so very much. I am available all day every day, as I work from home. If you have a wifi connection, I can spend all day with your dog or dogs :) I can take care of your baby however you want me to - walk them, play with them in your home or yard, or bring them to a park.
About: I have two lovely rescues who have 10/10 energy four times a day and I take them to the park once a day for a nice round of zoomies and catch. On rainy days I sometimes go still go if the rain is not too bad (mud is not my friend) I have taken dog training courses to help my dogs adjust to city life and it has been fantastic so far. High energy dogs are welcome with me! I’m currently working from home and I speed walk and run at 7am-9am 12pm-2pm 4pm-6pm 8pm-10pm. If your dog needs a morning run, they can definitely join my pack! I live in a city my entire life and have walked friends dogs so I understand how important it is to get many walks and to get them out of the building ASAP. I have a high sense of urgency and I make sure that my pack is ready for a big NAP during the day!
“Octavia was lovely! Super communicative, professional, and my dog loved her immediately. I’ll definitely rebook & would recommend her for anyone that has a large breed or leash-reactive dog!”

About: Hi, I’m Kris! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have two years of professional experience working in a busy doggy daycare, where I was responsible for safely supervising and caring for up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play, administer medications, maintain proper cleaning and disinfection protocols, and provide a safe, low-stress environment for every dog in my care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and pets with behavioral challenges or special medical needs. I’ve also fostered dogs in my home, which has given me additional experience helping nervous or transitioning pets feel safe and comfortable. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to three dogs and a cat, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a patient companion, medication, or simply lots of love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! et care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my day around consistency and animal care. I have experience managing multiple pets at once, so I’m used to building my schedule around feeding times, litter box maintenance, play sessions, and check-ins. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits and maintain a steady routine for each pet I care for. I’m comfortable incorporating visits into my day-to-day activities, and I plan my time so pets always get full attention without feeling rushed. Because I’ve worked in structured animal care settings and have fostered pets in my home, staying on top of routines like feeding, cleaning, medication, and companionship is second nature to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s something I naturally organize my day around I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care visit. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m careful with home entry and follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and any house rules. I keep doors secured during visits, monitor pets closely during interactions, and make sure their environment stays clean, comfortable, and safe at all times. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me. I approach each animal with patience and respect, especially shy, senior, or anxious pets, and I always move at their comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, consistent experience so pets feel secure while you’re away and you feel
About: When I was in grad school, I worked at an animal shelter and learned so much about taking care of animals. I've had pets my entire life: dogs, cats, birds, Guinea pig, hamsters, and fish, and I've dealt with it all: from babies to seniors, medications and ointments, special diets, and a range of picky habits and funny quirks...I absolutely adore animals! I work from home and my schedule is flexible so I definitely have time during my day/evening to help you take care of your pet, and it would be a really fun thing for me to do with my time. I have been a public school teacher for a couple decades, passing all background checks with flying colors. I realize that your pet and home are precious to you, and I will treat them with care, respect, and attention to detail. I will care for your pet by following your instructions precisely and will keep you updated with messages and pictures.
“James was so amazing with our 2 dogs! We had a pet emergency and he was able to pick them up last minute and watch them while we were away. His wife is also so sweet and caring! Would highly recommend him!”


About: I’ve had dogs since forever, I love mine more than anything. My experiences dog sitting and cat sitting range from my neighbors and family to taking care of animals on my uncles farm. I love meeting people’s pets so it would be my pleasure to meet more!! My dog Ruby is 15 years old and I love her to death, I can’t imagine her being alone all day. I go to college full time at Cleveland State University. I do play in multiple orchestras as well, but although I’m busy I have time in between classes and in the afternoons/evenings that I struggle to fill! I would love to have a slow morning taking care of a pet, or going on a walk, so I am very flexible. I understand that all pets have their own personality, and honestly the best way to take care of them relies on me getting to know them. The quirks about pets are my favorite thing about them, and I am willing to work with any needs they have. I love spending time with any animal and making sure they feel loved and entertained.
“Carla is awesome, coming to the rescue with a last-minute cat visit when I had to leave town suddenly and giving them and my house the best care and me, peace of mind. I genuinely appreciate her flexibility and sweetness, and we would welcome her back anytime for future travels!”

“Madi was just fabulous! She was consistent with visiting and taking care of my cat and worked with my apartment manager for apartment access. She communicated well and I appreciated her following up. I will definitely rebook!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life. I grew up in a home with multiple dogs and have experience caring for many different personalities and needs. In college, I regularly dog-sat for friends and other pet owners. I’ve also raised my pit bull, Levi, since finding him in the middle of the road when he was just three months old, he’s now eight! From 2024 to 2026, I worked in partnerships and marketing for K9Grass, where I regularly interacted with dogs and professionals at pet-care facilities. I’ll treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I work from home, which allows me to build pet care naturally into my daily schedule and provide consistent attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I can accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, bathroom breaks, and medication needs while remaining flexible to each pet’s routine. Working remotely also means I’m available to give pets the care and reassurance they need rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I care for pets in clients’ homes by maintaining their familiar routines and providing consistent attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I also make sure pets feel comfortable and reassured in their own environment, giving them plenty of care and attention rather than leaving them alone for long periods.
About: I have five years of experience professionally dog sitting and walking on top of my natural love for them! I do have my own so let me know if he can join a walk. I will go the extra mile to ensure your pets needs are well taken care of. I am very flexible with sitting/walking arrangements and any special requirements. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and reliable person to watch over your companion and provide a great experience, then I am a great fit and can’t wait to meet your lovely pet! I work from home most days so I am able to provide attention and constant potty breaks to your dog throughout the day, let me know if there is anything specific your dog needs in terms of routine! I ensure to follow all the rules as requested by the owner however am only looking to book dogs that are ok with other dogs. I have a crate and plenty of dog toys.
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets are family, and I strive to provide the same level of care, attention, and patience that I would want for my own. My background in healthcare has taught me how to be responsible, detail-oriented, and attentive to the unique needs of every individual, skills that translate naturally to pet care. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need patience and consistency to senior dogs who may require a gentler pace and extra attention. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, administering oral medications, reinforcing basic training, or simply providing companionship, I prioritize your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness. I am currently a Master's student in Medical Physiology at Case Western Reserve University, which has helped me develop strong time-management, responsibility, and organizational skills. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals as a balance to my studies. Despite a busy academic schedule, I am very intentional about managing my time and maintaining commitments. Whether it's morning walks, midday drop-in visits, evening care, or weekend sitting, I enjoy incorporating pet care into my routine because it allows me to spend time outdoors and connect with animals while helping pet owners have peace of mind. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet with patience, attentiveness, and compassion. As someone pursuing a career in healthcare, I value reliability, clear communication, and attention to detail, and I bring those same qualities to caring for your furry family members. I am committed to ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any specific preferences or needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and mental stimulation while also keeping their environment clean and safe. If providing care in my own home, I would ensure pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, fresh water, and opportunities for play and rest. My goal is always to make pets feel as relaxed and loved as possible, whether they are in their own home or mine.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Central
Sydney did such an amazing job with my cat for the week! She sent so many pictures and my cat seemed very friendly and comfortable with her. She cleaned up any messes he made and sent pictures of his food and water every day, so I felt very confident that he was getting the best care possible. Will definitely be using Sydney again for future cat sitting needs!
