“Kathy is always so wonderful with our dog, Stash! He’s so comfortable and loved when he’s with her. It’s so hard leaving him, but Kathy is great at sending updates and photos while we’re away. Thanks so much for being so great with our little guy, Kathy!”
“Boarding with Clifford was simple in every step of the process! He took great care of our pup. His big fenced in back yard is the perfect spot for everyone to play and get their energy out! We were very happy with Clifford's care and will look to return in the future!”
“Sarah took great care of Dolly! We were a bit nervous as this was our first time boarding Dolly with a Rover sitter, but Sarah put us at ease. She has a beautiful and clean home with a nice backyard and is clearly a dog lover. She sent us updates and pictures each day which showed us that Dolly had made herself right at home and found a new friend in Sarah’s sweet dog Tobi. We will absolutely use Sarah again!”
“Fantastic short stay for our large dog. My dog is shy and can sometimes struggle with new environments. We were given the flexibility of a meet and greet, but even without, the numerous photos were reassuring of my dog’s comfortability in Tina and Rick’s home. I am very appreciative of the updates throughout the day and taking the time to go out on walks. Will definitely be a future customer!”
“Karin was great, Our Dog feels right at home, appreciated all her daily updates and photos, I just know our dog is in good hands when we leave her there. This was our third booking with her and Highly Recommend her.”
“Sarah was flexible on the scheduling and great to work with. Our dog Nellie was well cared for, and got a lot of play time in with Jasper. We will definitely have Sarah watch Nellie in the future. Sarah kept us updated with lots of pics which was great!”
“Amazing dog sitter, would highly recommend. You can really tell that she and her husband care and love the dogs so much. So glad and reassured that Miso was in their hands for a week and had so much fun. Would book again for future trips!”
“Stephanie kept us updated on Karma regularly, and that put us at ease. She was quick to communicate when Karma had blood in his stools. Thank you Stephanie for taking care of Karma for 2 weeks!!”
“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”
About: I am a part time registered nurse with 5 years of pet sitting experience but currently new to Rover! I specialize in French bulldogs and dogs with mobility issues that may require extra care and medication administration but am also available to care for other breeds and healthy dogs and cats as well! I used to live in San Diego where I walked and cared for many dogs experiencing these issues and would love to continue to help others in my free time. My own dog has a history of skin issues, IVDD & liver issues which I have all learned to manage from my experience. I am an emergency department registered nurse so I also know how to stay calm in emergent situations and give your pets the care and love as I would give my own. I currently work part time so I have a very flexible schedule when it comes to dog walking or watching your animal in my home. I currently live in an apartment near the flats which is a very safe and dog friendly community. I walk my own dog four times a day and we also have a dog park for dogs that need to get more energy out. I am a helicopter mom when it comes to my own dog being around other dogs as far as safety so I would do the same for your dog as well. When my dog is not outside we relax in the apartment, play ball and I let him chew on only Nyla or Benebones. My dog also is one to get into anything left out so my place is very clean and nothing is ever left out on the floor, bed or closet that he might be able to get into.
“Aspen was an amazing pet sitter. She sent many pictures and updates on how my dog was doing and adapting to the stay. I had no worries leaving Jazzy with her. I will definitely have her watch my dogs in the future. I could not ask for a better dog sitter.”
“Marla is a fantastic dog sitter. She was very professional and so kind to our dog. She was watching him after he had a surgery and was so accommodating to his needs. She kept us updated during the weekend and I constantly felt like Simba was in good hands. You can definitely see her love and care for dogs. We will be rebooking her in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Matt was great with Chasey, she was so happy with him and his doggos! They made her feel right at home! I really appreciated the photo updates and communication throughout the weekend. We will definitely be coming back in the future!”
“Riya is the best. Barkley felt instantly comfortable with her and her pup, Archie. She was so kind to help us on short notice. She took great care of Barkley, sent photos, and gave us the perfect amount of communication. Highly recommend her and will definitely connect with her again!”
“My dog, Lola, enjoyed Thanksgiving week with Samantha and I’ve already booked the Christmas holiday week for her. That’s high praise for Samantha’s positive style & work ethics. ***** 5 stars!”

I had a wonderful experience with this sitter! She took great care of Morty and Archie while I was away and made sure all of their needs were met. She kept me updated throughout their stay with plenty of photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and treated them like her own. Both dogs came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust her with my pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
This was my first time using Rover or even boarding my dog with someone who wasn’t a family member. Needless to say, I was pretty nervous about it and when I dropped my dog off, she was so worried and upset. But Hannah was a pro. She never made me feel like I was asking about my dog too much and alleviated any worries I had, always with a calm and understanding demeanor. Sent plenty of pics and updates and it wasn’t long before my dog warmed up to her. Thanks again Hannah!
Devon was awesome! She took great care of my GSP while my husband and I were away. He is a special needs dog and she unfortunately had to experience two episodes while we were gone. She handled it amazingly and kept us updated. Our dog requires medication and Devon was on top of it. Know your dog will be in great hands with Devon! Would highly recommend. She was very accommodating and took great care of our guy.
We are so grateful for Karlee’s help! Karlee was easy to communicate with, so joyful, super punctual, and very loving to our dog. Our family loved getting updates and photos of our dog having adventures while Karlee boarded our dog for the day. We highly recommend and look forward to booking with Karlee in the future!
We had a wonderful experience with Mary! I had to find a Petsitter last minute during a family emergency. Mary made the whole process incredibly easy and stress-free. She sent plenty of pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind, and my little Andy looked happy and well cared for the entire time. Drop-off and pickup were super smooth, and her central location near downtown was really convenient. I would absolutely book with her again—A++ experience!
Olivia was an amazing Rover sitter! She and her partner took such great care of Charlie. He was so happy when we picked him up, which says everything. They were also very flexible when our pickup time changed, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be using them again in the future! Thanks again for everything!
100% recommend! Jenna took such great care of my dog, Bee! I’m not from the Cleveland area but I’ll definitely be a repeat when I need Bee boarded again when I’m in the area. Thank you so much for putting my anxious dog at ease and taking such great care of her!
Shirley is truly amazing. She’s attentive, patient, and treats my dogs as if they were her own. I never have to worry because I know they’re safe, happy, and surrounded by kindness. The care, consistency, and heart she puts into what she does is truly incredible. From the moment I met her, it was clear she has a genuine love for animals, and my little crew feels it every single time they’re with her. Bianca and Dolce absolutely adore Shirley. Knowing my dogs are so deeply loved and cared for when I’m away brings me complete peace of mind.
