“Alex and his girlfriend were SO sweet to our 10 month old golden retriever. Not everyone could handle that level of energy but he made sure to provide our pup with tons of outside time and sent us daily updates throughout our trip. Amazing experience, will definitely be booking with him in the future!”

“Amanda and her family were just fantastic with our dog, Nala. They were super considerate on letting Nala get used to their own dogs, giving her plenty of time to adapt. They had her during two rainy days and they kept her inside, pampering her so much that I was worried Nala wouldn’t want to come back with us! They are just terrific people who really love dogs. They will be our first choice next time we travel with her to Cleveland!”

“I found everything went fine with Chico. He can't talk, but he looked well taken care of and Victoria sent pictures. He was excited when I came to get him, but I think he enjoyed his time. You can't beat her rate, and if you live in Parma she is really convenient!”
“Thomas was absolutely awesome ! I am so thankful that we were able to find him. I have a 2 year old intact German shepherd and my husbands work closed on short notice for 2 weeks so we decided to take a vacation. I was scrambling to find some boarding for him but if you have a large power breed who isn’t neutered than you know it can be difficult to find places that accept them. The only boarding option I could find was a no contact facility where he would have been in a kennel the WHOLE time except for 3 30-1 hr potty breaks which were on a LARGER kennel area. Totally unacceptable to me. That’s when I started looking on Rover and was so glad to find Thomas. Not only does he care for your pet he also puts in the time and energy to exercise them which is so SO important to me. He was super flexible, gave me a ton of updates and still took Bear on walks/runs during this insane 95 degree heatwave we had. I totally trusted that he kept Bear safe during that time (walking in hot weather wise). This is a person who truly cares about animals and takes care of their physical, mental and emotional needs. I don’t know how to add pictures here but if I find out how to I will. Can’t say enough good things.”

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.
“LeAndra was very communicative throughout the trip and took the time to share pictures and updates that put our mind at ease. She walked Hermione and made sure she felt loved even through the 4th of July fireworks. Would absolutely book again.”

“Kaitlynn has watched our golden retriever several times now and has been consistently awesome. She sends pictures and updates each day, and you can tell she gives personal attention and love to the dogs in her care. We are lucky to have found her!”

“Lena LOVES Rose Ann and her puppies. She actually recognizes the route to her place, starting to get all excited and crying for joy as we go to her place. It is a beautiful thing! THANK YOU, ROSE ANN!”


“Archna was wonderful with our 2 Goldens. She sent updates, which eased our minds, and took very good care of them. She is very professional, and we would definitely use her again for care.”

“Riya is a phenomenal sitter, she has taken great care of my dog and is a wonderful communicator. I can travel stress free knowing my dog is in good hands.”

“Lorie took great care of our senior dog who has lots of medical needs. She is warm and compassionate and clearly loves all of the doggies as her own. She sent us regular updates and pictures while we were away. We felt like our dog was in better care with Lorie than when we have boarded him at the vet - and he was definitely more comfortable with a home environment. Thank you, Lorie!”


“The best sitters my little big boy has had by far!!!! They took such good care of baby boy. They administered his meds and showered him with love. He came back happy, healthy. and his BEST self. I can’t thank them enough. See you soon”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs. I grew up around cats and have been a dog owner myself for the past 5 years, in addition to regularly caring for friends’ dogs. I work a 9–5 job from home, which means your pet gets plenty of company throughout the day rather than being left alone for hours. I’m also able to take dogs on an extended walk during my lunch break, so they can get some exercise, fresh air, and attention in the middle of the day. Whether your pet needs a long walk, some playtime, a cozy companion while you’re away, or just a little extra TLC, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and preferences. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for! My weekly routine is pretty consistent, which is great for dogs who love having a predictable schedule! Every workday I start each morning with a trip to the gym, then come home and take the pups on a nice, extended walk through the Metroparks near my house. Once we’re home, I settle into work for a few hours while the dogs get some downtime. I have a fenced-in yard, so I like to let them out regularly throughout the morning to stretch their legs, sniff around, and get some fresh air. Lunchtime means another extended walk! It’s a great way to break up the workday and give everyone a chance to burn off some energy. Afterward, my own dog usually settles in for a well-earned afternoon nap while I finish up work. Once the workday wraps up, we usually head outside for one more walk before settling in for the evening. If everyone’s feeling a little less energetic, we’ll skip the walk and have some backyard fun instead, such as fetch, tug-of-war, or just general goofing around. Basically, your pup can expect plenty of exercise, fresh air, playtime, and company throughout the day, with lots of opportunities to relax and recharge too. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide a comfortable, low-stress home environment where pups can feel like part of the family. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside for fresh air and playtime, along with plenty of opportunities for walks and exercise throughout the day. Since I work from home, I’m also around to keep an eye on things and make sure everyone is doing well. For daycare and boarding, I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, crate time, and any other preferences or house rules you provide. I’ll also make sure dogs have time to relax and nap when they need a break from all the excitement. When introducing dogs to my home, I prioritize compatibility and a gradual introduction so everyone feels comfortable. I want every pup staying with me to feel safe, supervised, and genuinely at home, not like they’re being dropped off somewhere unfamiliar.
About: I’ve always taken care of animals my whole life. From dogs,cats,chickens to small critters. I love having fun with animals as of playing, walks and teaching new tricks! I’m currently free 7 days a week. My calendar is always up to date. So if it’s green I’m free! Sometimes I will tend to re update. You can always text me also to see if I’m free. I care for pets in my home like they are my own children. I love playing and spending time with pets and animals I love to spoil other people’s pets as they are my own. If your dog, doesn’t get along with other dogs please let me know because sometimes I do have another dog already in my care and my number one priority is to always make sure all animals are safe. I love to send you pet home with goodies such as toys, treats, blankets or whatever I have free for them!
About: My name is Ivette and I currently study at Case. My husband is a USPS mail carrier and I work from home. Currently, I have one dog and two rescue cats🐾. During the pandemic, I spent a significant amount of time with my pets indoors where I had the opportunity to take care of two litters that my dogs had. I learned many skills during that time. With age, my dog became a senior dog and had to take oral medication so I am used to giving oral/topical medication to pets. I have been living in the Cleveland area since 2019 but I am originally from Texas. My current home has a fenced back yard and a good route for walks. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.
“Very happy with Christina! She accommodated our situation when plans changed last minute! She took good care of our puppy and sent pictures and updates during her stay! Our puppy came home happy and healthy!”

“Katherine is amazing! Biscuit loved her and her dog!! He had the best time and she kept me updated daily with pictures and text messages! I will absolutely recommend her to my family and friends and will be using her services again! Thank you Katherine!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since l was 10, with friends, family, and neighbors asking for pet care since l remember. I always enjoy spending time with furry loved ones. I care for two of my own dogs so it’s an everyday routine for me to care and check in on them when I do have to leave the house. I don’t have a job that requires me to be on site all the time so it’s perfect for my dogs schedule now that I have more time to be around them. At home I watch my dogs everyday, they are well trained so I don’t have to be super vigilant on them because I know them won’t leave the yard. They are fed twice a day and I try to walk them everyday. As for a clients home it depends on their schedule and how they care for their dog, but whatever their dogs needs are I will provide the service of fulfilling it.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cleveland
James is fantastic! We appreciate how loving and patient he is with our energetic lab, Cleo. He is great about sending reassuring updates, photos, and video which we truly appreciate. James is also very chill and laid-back and flexible with timing associated with pick up and drop off. Thanks again for another great stay James!!

This was Linford’s second stay with Mary, and we would definitely book with her again. Mary kept us updated on what she and Linford were up to throughout his stay. He was excited to see her when we dropped him off and excited to see us when we picked him up. A perfect combination!

We had such a great experience. This was my first time using Rover and I was really nervous. Devon was super communicative and really made our dog feel comfortable. Our dogs got along great. Devon only hosts one family’s pets at a time, so I wasn’t worried about additional complications. 100% would book again!!!

Karlee has watched Pongo several times. In fact, I don't travel unless she can watch him. She sends pictures daily without having to be asked and even gives cute stories that warm my heart when I'm away from my baby. Karlee answers texts right away and I never have to worry about a thing. I can live life. She is a godsend

Such an amazing experience! I got lots of pictures, regular updates, and it was obvious how much Mike really loved and cared for her like his own. She looked so happy and comfortable the whole time, which gave me peace of mind. I’d book again in a heartbeat and highly recommend!

Obie loved her stay with Aspen! Especially hanging out with her new friend Clifford — the sweetest most gentle pup. Aspen sent photos and updates throughout the day which we so appreciated. We needed to extend Obie’s stay last minute and we were so grateful she was able to accommodate. Aspen was very easy to communicate with and we know she took the best care of her. Obie will definitely be back!

Jessica was wonderful watching our dog Alfie! We met prior to make sure she and her dog would be comfortable with him. She’s very flexible and accommodating with timing and was so great with sending updates and pictures while we were gone. I would highly recommend her, she’s very caring and responsible! :)

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!

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!
