“Allyson took wonderful care of my puppy and was reliable, attentive, and communicative throughout each visit. I really appreciated the thoughtful check-ins and updates, and she made sure my puppy got plenty of playtime, attention, and care. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in great hands while I was away. Would absolutely recommend!”

“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!”

“Tyler was fantastic and we wood definitely book with him again! We appreciated the chance to speak with him through a pre-visit and introduce him to our pets. He was very communicative with us, and took great care to spend quality time with our pets during each visit. His photos brought smiles to our faces and allowed us to relax, knowing that our pets were receiving excellent care.”

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.
“Abby was great! She communicated well before her visit and did a phenomenal job checking in while I was away. Will absolutely recommend her to others and plan to keep using her help.”


“There is no one I trust more with my cat’s care than Katherine. She’s the absolute best. I travel a lot for work and she has saved me more than once when plans have gone awry.”

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.
About: Growing up, I've always had animals in my life. At one point my family had four cats and three dogs! I absolutely adore animals and the comfort, joy, and love they provide to us humans. What better way to spend my free time than to spend it with fur babies! I'm currently employed full time as a licensed social worker, and would love to dedicate some of my free time to caring for animals. My work schedule is pretty flexible which would allow me to shift things around. If you're considering booking with me during the week and availabililty listed doesn't match, i recommend reaching out because i may just be able to accommodate it. Weekends are available as well. I offer a good balance of fun and energetic, and calm, relaxed, and secure environment for your animal friends. Communication is extremely important to me, and will ensure that this is the top priority to ensure that you feel at ease allowing your pets to be in my hands.

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.

About: Hi\! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats for family and friends\. I’m new to Rover, but I’m dependable, caring, and committed to treating every pet like my own\. I’d love to help with walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and companionship while you’re away\! 🐾❤️ I have three full days off each week, so I have plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m generally available Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays, with additional availability around my work schedule on the other days. 🐾 I treat every pet like they’re my own! I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions from their owner and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. 🐾❤️
“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!”

“We are so grateful to Mary for taking good care of our cats! We were gone for 2 weeks and Mary checked in on our kitties every day. She was very attentive to them, provided updates, and provided great care.”

About: I intentionally take one dog, or one dog family, at a time because I want every pup staying with me to receive the attention, care, and love they deserve. ❤️ I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. They’re family, and you want to know they’re not just being watched. You want to know they’re being cared for, understood, and loved. That’s exactly what I try to provide. Your dog gets to stay in a comfortable home environment, become part of our routine, and receive plenty of individual attention instead of being one of several dogs competing for a sitter’s time. ❤️ Dogs of All Ages and Needs One of the things I especially love about caring for dogs is getting to know what makes each individual dog comfortable and happy. I’ve had dogs throughout my life, including senior dogs, so I understand that not every pup needs the same kind of care. Some dogs want to play all day, while others are happiest curled up beside you. Some need extra patience and reassurance, while others just want to know when dinner is coming. I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs and dogs who need a little extra help, including following feeding routines, administering oral medications, and keeping up with individual care instructions. If your dog has medication, supplements, mobility limitations, a specific feeding schedule, anxiety, or simply needs a little more patience and attention, I’m happy to work with their normal routine. My goal is to make their stay feel as familiar and comfortable as possible. 🏡 What Your Dog’s Stay Looks Like: Because I keep boarding intentionally small, I can give your dog the individual attention that can be difficult to provide in a busy boarding environment. Depending on your dog’s personality and routine, their stay may include: 🐶 One on one attention and companionship 🛋️ Couch cuddles and cozy naps 🎾 Playtime and enrichment 🌳 Supervised outdoor time 🥰 Lots of affection and reassurance 🍖 Meals, treats, and supplements according to their normal routine 💊 Medication administration when needed 🛏️ Comfortable sleeping arrangements 📸 Regular photos and updates for you I’m happy to follow the routines you already have at home. The more I know about your dog, the better I can care for them. 🐾 Why One Dog at a Time? I’m not trying to fill my house with as many boarding dogs as possible. I chose to keep my boarding small because I want to actually know the dog I’m caring for. I want to know their personality, their favorite things, their quirks, what makes them nervous, how they like to sleep, what their normal routine looks like, and what makes their tail start going a mile a minute. That also means I can give extra attention when a dog needs it, whether that’s an energetic play session, a quiet afternoon, an older dog who needs to take things slower, or simply someone to sit beside them when they miss their family. 🐕 Meet Kenobi: Of course, no stay at our house would be complete without Kenobi, my 4 year old yellow Lab and resident Buddy. Kenobi is goofy, affectionate, laid back, and absolutely convinced that every couch in the house belongs to him. He’s always excited to make a new friend and loves having another dog around, but your dog is still the VIP. 🐾 A Little About Me: I’ve always had a huge love for dogs, especially Labs. My dogs have been an incredibly important part of my life, and caring for them has taught me that dogs aren’t just pets. They each have their own personalities, needs, routines, and ways of communicating. That’s what I love about boarding: getting to know the dog, not just watching the dog. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pup is somewhere safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. And yes, I’ll probably send you entirely too many pictures. 📸 My goal isn’t simply to give your dog somewhere to stay. I want them to feel like they’re spending a little time at their second home. ❤️ 🐶 One dog at a time. 🏡 One comfortable home. ❤️ Personalized care for every pup. Because your dog deserves more than somewhere to stay. They deserve to feel at home. I am currently working part-time for a real estate agency as an admin. I can work from home or in the office so my schedule is flexible. My dog is on a routine from walks to feedings and I do my best to stick to it everyday. I will always be prompt and timely to make sure your pets stay on schedule as well.
“This was my first time using Rover, and James made the entire process incredibly easy. Before I even booked, he took the time to explain how everything worked and answered all my questions, which helped me feel comfortable right away. During the first week of appointments, he continued to check in, guide me through the app, and make sure I knew what to expect. He visits three days a week to help socialize my very grumpy, very particular cat, and he’s been so patient with her. He gives her space when she needs it, tries gently to engage when she’s willing, and always makes sure she’s fed and cared for. He’s flexible, kind, and clearly committed to helping her warm up at her own pace. The photos he takes are great. They always capture her personality and the fun notes he leaves on each report card make the updates something I look forward to. His consistency and care have made a real difference, and I’m grateful to have found someone I trust.”

About: Hi! My name is Ebony, and I’m a college student pursuing a degree in Veterinary Technology. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and currently have a dog of my own, so caring for animals isn’t just a job… it’s my passion. With my background, I’m comfortable administering oral medications, recognizing changes in behavior, and responding appropriately in emergency situations. Cleanliness and organization are very important to me, and I always make sure your home and your pet’s space are left tidy. I am more than happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you always know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. ❤️ While I attend school full-time , my availability outside of class is dedicated to providing attentive and dependable care for your pet. I currently offer in-home sitting and walking services so your pet can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their daily routine. I’m also currently offering doggy daycare in my home! ❣️ During a typical daycare visit, your dog can enjoy: -Several walks around the neighborhood -Nature walks -Supervised playtime and enrichment -Playdates with my dog, Journei, when appropriate -Plenty of affection, attention, time to relax and lots of treats (with owner’s permission, of course!❣️) Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my priority. Before booking daycare, I recommend a meet-and-greet to ensure our dogs are comfortable together. I understand how important patience, consistency, and compassion are when it comes to building trust with both pets and their owners. I strictly follow all provided feeding schedules, dietary needs, medication instructions, and routines to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their own home. Thank you for considering me as your sitter ❣️
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love. I’ve pet sat for neighbors, friends, and family, caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart is that I’m also a registered nurse. My career has made me compassionate, dependable, detail-oriented, and attentive to changes in behavior or health. I have a natural instinct for noticing when something doesn’t seem quite right, and I always prioritize safety and communication. I understand that pets are family, and I promise to treat yours with the same love, patience, and care I would give my own. I currently work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the pets I care for. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, keeping them active, sticking to their routine, or simply giving them companionship throughout the day, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Since I live in the city, I don’t have a fenced yard, but that doesn’t stop my dog from getting plenty of exercise and attention! I have one dog of my own and also frequently care for my neighbor’s dog. We go on regular walks throughout the day, visit nearby grassy areas for bathroom breaks, and enjoy trips to the park just up the street for extra exercise and playtime. I also have a crate available if your dog is crate trained or if you’d like them crated for rest, bedtime, or while I’m briefly away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and, of course, lots of love and attention. My goal is to help every pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their family is away.
About: I’m a champion for human & pets alike. Familial animals have been apart of my life since I was a young child & the subsequent years into my adulthood. I’ve assisted in the basic obedience training of 10+ dogs both in youth & elder-hood; temporarily lived with anxious pups whilst their parents traveled out of state; & I’ve formed genuine bonds with clients’ pets that I’ve routinely walked & tended to for years now. I’ve departed from traditional 9 to 5 employment to commit myself full-time towards the enriching of relations between all living beings, in particular, one Pet/Parent client at a time! Pet caregiving, dog handling & house sitting are my full-time job! Which fortunately means I’ve got quite a fluid weekly schedule capable of integrating a broad range of client scenarios. Mondays & Tuesdays between 9am and 9pm are my most flexible hours — services needed Wednesday thru Friday can be readily accommodated during our initial consultation. For clients interested in Boarding services - my home is a decently sized, fully furnished apartment with climate control functionality. During their stay with me your pets are welcome to languor however they normally would at home. I strive to make the stay as comfortable as possible for your pets whilst honoring whatever caregiving conditions/training you may request. If house-sitting your home is preferred, you can feel confident that your residence & loved-ones will be tended to with exemplary care & that upon your return home, it will be in the exact same or better condition than when you’d left it!
“Joseph did a great job caring for my 2 kitties while I was on vacation. He sent pictures at every visit and the kitties never looked stressed. He took the time to play with them. Very polite and conscientious young man. I would hire Joseph again.”

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!
