“Joe was so great. The dogs loved him. He was punctual, friendly and kept me updated. I was really able to enjoy my vacation knowing the dogs were in good hands. When I came home my house was tidy and he was very considerate during his stay here. I could tell the dogs were in good spirits. Joe spent a lot of time with them. Super grateful. Thank you Joe. I would highly recommend him to watch your fur babies”

“Having Madi stay with our dogs was fabulous! They were happy and well taken care of. There was no hunger strike or readjustment period as in the past :) Madi was great with communication!”

“Happy to say our pups were happy and healthy upon our return and tired from some good exercise. The house was also left nice and tidy. The only constructive feedback I would leave is more attention to detail could be paid to what dog care equipment is available for use in our home.”

“Keith is very accommodating to our needs and schedule. Great communication and fast response. We are very pleased that we found Keith on this platform to help us when we are away.”

“Maddie was fantastic! She was highly proactive with outreach and made sure to ask lots of questions. She was prompt with a meet and greet and made sure to keep our dog comfortable, giving her all the attention needed and handling things according to our instructions. She was kind, responsive and communicative throughout. We came home to a very happy dog - we wouldn’t hesitate a second to have her back over!”

“Elizabeth is the absolute best and I highly recommend you use her for your pet sitting needs. This was my first time using Rover. I have a larger dog and a cat and I usually would take them to a kennel or have them boarded. I thought I would try Rover when I went on a short road trip and I had no idea what to expect. Elizabeth was the perfect choice. She showed up multiple times a day. Walked my dog, gave my cat treats and sent me dozens of photos over the course of the 5 days that I was gone. She even left a small gift bag with toys and bandanas for my pets that I discovered when I returned home. If you ever need a pet sitting service the first thing you should do is see if Elizabeth is available. If I could give her ten stars I would.”

“Joseph did a great job with taking care of Bosco and the house. He was very responsive when I reached out to see how things were going; and he notified me when he thought I might have a concern about Bosco. He took great care of the condo and left it very neat. Great job!”

“We were so lucky to have Mickey take care of our Sofie. He went above and beyond, especially with handling an unexpected neighborhood blackout. It is rare to find someone so professional and compassionate. Would hands down recommend to anyone.”

“Simply amazing and stress free. Alejandra was so kind and took such great care of both our dogs. She was flexible in he scheduling and available when needed. Sent so many great updates and photos! Will be our first call for the next time! Thank you! You will not go wrong with Alejandra!”


About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with two large dogs of my own, one energetic and playful and one older, calmer pup. They’re both very social and love making new friends, so if your dog enjoys companionship, they’ll have built in buddies during their stay. We welcome dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m especially comfortable with large breeds, as my Labrador Retriever is 105 pounds and my Bernese Mountain Dog is 113 pounds, so I’m experienced handling bigger, stronger dogs on walks and during playtime. Your pup will get lots of attention, supervision, and outdoor time throughout the day. I’m also active and love being outside, so whether your dog prefers walks, runs, backyard playtime, or sticking to their normal routine, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, exercised, and right at home. I love getting to know each pup ahead of time, so I do require at least 3 days notice to allow for a meet and greet before booking. My husband and I both work from home full time, which allows us to provide frequent potty breaks and constant supervision. We also have separate office spaces, so if any dogs need a break from playtime or a calmer environment, we are able to separate them as needed. With two dogs of our own, we are fully stocked with the essentials including toys, treats, water bowls, beds, and more. We also have a fully fenced in yard with a gate, so the dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time without worry.

About: Hello! I recently moved to CLE for a full-time role post grad. With the travel requirements needed for work I don’t have time for my own pet so would love to be able to provide services for a range of different dogs and cats. I have ownership experience with both large dogs (labradors) and smaller dogs (miniature dachshunds) as well as cats. I grew up on a family farm so I have experience looking after a multitude of different types of animals as well. I am available to walk dogs or to come over and care for an animal when the owner is away as well. I promise to provide excellent care for your animal(s) and professional service too. Taking care of animals is truly a passion of mind and I would love to take care of yours! Currently working full-time so my availability is mostly on weekends. I work from home on Monday and Fridays so could potentially walk or care for animals during those two days as well. I live in an apartment and watch smaller animals at my place from time to time. Also able to go to clients’ homes and watch/walk animals at their place. I currently dog sit for two neighbors in my apartment building and would love to watch even more animals.

About: Hey there! I’m Kristen. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was in elementary school! I have experience taking care of and owning small and large dog breeds, cats, and even farm animals like goats, pigs, turkeys and cows! I also worked at a local public alpaca farm, Majestic Meadows, and provided love, care and husbandry for a variety of exotic and farm animals, including horses, donkeys, alpacas, llamas, and more! I have experience working with animals who have special dietary needs, special medication needs, senior pets, and pets who have physical disabilities and need extra care and aid! I can brush your pet, clean their ears and teeth (if they will let me and it is safe to do so), and give them a simple bath if you would like! Lastly I do have experience in basic behavior training for dogs, including click/reward training to teach sitting, lay down, and release, however I am NOT a professional dog trainer and am not willing to sit for dogs that experience highly aggressive behaviors or biting towards new people. I am currently doing Rover full time, so I will have plenty of time for your pets needs and for playtime, and am able to make sure that bathroom breaks and meal/snack times are not spaced too far apart :) For house sitting I cannot stay full time around the clock as I often have doctors appointments I need to attend, so I may have to come and go, but I would not be gone for longer than 3-4 hours at any given time, so if your fur baby can be alone for 3-4 hours, then I can accommodate for that 😊 I make sure to closely follow any given instructions for pet care, including instructions for a special diet or medications, and if the pet needs any special needs care or aid with grooming! I like to go over the details with clients of how their pet may like to play, how they get along with other animals/people, how they like to be pet, how they do on walks, what their favorite snacks are, and of course any special needs such as oral medications, special dietary needs, etc… to make sure that I am offering the highest quality of care and comfortability for their fur baby! I also make sure to pay close attention to timing between meals, snacks and potty breaks so their pets don’t become uncomfortable or have any accidents. Lastly, I make sure to give lots of love and attention to their pet so they don’t feel lonely!
“I couldn’t have found a better sitter for my beagle. This is the first time he has had a sitter since we rescued him. Madison knew exactly what to do to help Flash adjust to her. Madison’s love for dogs is apparent by the time she spent playing with him and the wonderful pictures she sent with comments. She always responded quickly to all communication. I feel 100% confident leaving my dear dog with her. With all of that said I must add that her warm and friendly personality is a major plus. She has earned the highest score possible for top notch dog sitters!”

“Palace was a wonderful sitter for our dog and cats. We booked her last minute, but she took great care of them - as if she had been their sitter many times before! She sent tons of photos throughout the weekend and she left our home very clean! Our dog loved their walks and our cats loved snuggling with Palace. We’ll definitely rebook her in the future!”

“I would give 100 stars, if I could! It was my first time leaving my puppies, and Ishmell was soooo wonderful! He stayed at my house over night, took care of all 3 dogs, and was a great house guest! So happy I found him, and can't wait to use him again!”

“Emily is a fantastic dog sitter! We felt so comfortable having her house sit our two dogs, with one still being house trained, and we could actually relax on our vacation knowing that our dogs were in good care. She was flexible enough to do a meet and greet before we left for vacation and she constantly kept us updated with pictures of our dogs. She is so loving and caring and we could tell that she loves all dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter, you will not be disappointed!”

Carla was fantastic! I felt really at ease knowing she was with my dog Kiwi when I had a last minute request. She was super communicative and I really appreciate how much TLC Kiwi got while I was gone, and loved the pictures! 10/10 experience would absolutely recommend.

Lydia did an excellent job! She communicated well, sent us lots of pictures, and asked all kinds of questions to ensure she was providing the best care possible. We appreciated her flexibility, friendliness, and holistic care for our pup. Glad to have her back in the future!

Andria is perfect and an absolute pleasure to work with! She took lots of photos of our furbabies and was respectful of our house. She even brought in a package delivery from outside, which is just so sweet! Andria is clean, well organized and very thorough. Andria was available on super short notice, which helped us out immensely.

Jonathan was amazing! I would absolutely book with him again. He helped us out in such a pinch and followed every routine for our dogs. He was very communicative and sent many pictiures. He stayed at our home and left it in prestine condition, 10/10 stars from me!

Pups seemed to love her!! She was willing to meet and greet before since im anxious leaving my pups with someone else. Was so kind as to being our 40 pound bags of dog food too since it arrived earlier than expected 😭 would def book again and cant wait to see how my pups grow to like her even more!!

Georgia did a great job watching our pup while we were traveling for the week. She kept her fed and happy, and even helped with last minute medications. She was very clear and consistent in communication and made it so we never doubted the standard of care our dog was receiving.

Spencer was wonderful with dog Honey. We think she had a great time. When we got home, she was looking for Spencer everywhere. Haha. If you are looking for someone that will care and show your dog lots of love, Spencer is the guy to hire. This was our first time using Rover and we were not disappointed. We will definitely hire Spencer again.

When I had to go out of town for a week, Madison did an amazing job taking care of my cat, who is recovering from surgery and on 3x/day antibiotics. She kept me informed throughout and helpfully trouble shooted when my cat started resisting her medicine. I’m very grateful for Madison’s help over the last week and would recommend her to you!
