About: Hi! I’m Gloria! I graduated from Penn foster last year to become a Veterinary Technician and I’m taking my VTNE to become a licensed veterinary technician in October and have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats in both hospital and clinical settings. I specialize in providing safe, compassionate, and attentive care for pets of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and pets who need extra patience or medical awareness. My background includes assisting with procedures, monitoring recovery, supporting medication routines, and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. Because of my experience, I’m especially confident caring for: • Senior pets • Pets with anxiety or special needs • Pets requiring medications or close observation • Multi-pet households I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent, providing lots of attention and comfort, and keeping you updated with photos and messages so you always feel at ease. My goal is simple — to provide reliable, professional care so your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart, yes I can give medications but I don’t know how to give insulin to diabetic patients. ✔ 8 years veterinary experience ✔ Comfortable with medications & special care ✔ Experienced with senior and anxious pets ✔ Strong attention to safety and behavior changes ✔ Reliable communication with daily updates ✔ Calm, patient, and dependable I’m available Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm for dog sitting, dog walking, or house sitting and if have cats I can take care of them as well. I plan to dog or cat sit at the comfort of the owners home but if they need to come to my home for any reason my home is fenced and I do have kennels and extra food and water and I do have two dogs who are super sweet and kind. I also have a cat and he gets along with dogs and cats if you need me to cat sit your cat at my home I can do that as well

As the proud owner of two Pit Bulls and a small Pekinese 🐶🐶🐶🐾 I know exactly what it takes to handle large, strong, and powerful breeds safely on a leash.

I am available for walks and drop-in visits during mornings and afternoons. This makes me the perfect fit for your midday pet care needs while you are at work, at school, or running errands. 🏡 Reliable Drop-In Visits for Dogs & Birds Need someone to check on your pets while you're away for the day? I offer dependable drop-in visits tailored entirely to your pet's routine. I look forward to reading their body language the moment I step through your door to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I am fully experienced and proudly offer care for: Dogs: Fresh food/water, potty breaks, backyard games, or a solid neighborhood walk to burn off energy. Birds: Checking cages, refreshing seed/water, and ensuring their environment is safe and secure. Home Security: I am always highly respectful of your space and will ensure your home is locked up tight, sending you detailed updates and photos after every single visit.

About: I've taken care of pets personally since I was eight years old. I have professionally cared for a variety of cute pups for nine years. Ensuring that each experience is individual for every Fur Mom/Dad is important to me so you feel most assured your pet is well taken care of when you are gone. I have experience administering some medications and dealing with special needs as well. I am currently working full-time (M-F, 7a-4p). I am off weekends! Even working full-time, I still have plenty of time to spend caring for your pet(s). I am available during the weekday around my work schedule, and I am open on weekends for the convenience of your travel needs! I have been a member of the Cleveland community since 2022. When I care for your pet(s), I work with pet parents to develop an individualized care plan, so although you may be away, they are on the same schedule for their comfort and the pet parent's ease of mind. Constant communication is essential to me, as I know how difficult it can be to be away from your best friend; frequent updates allow pet parents ease of mind and comfort knowing their pet is well cared for. While I care for your pet(s), I will message you as I arrive at your home, send detailed updates and photos while I am with your fur children, and let you know when I leave. I do work full-time (M-F, 7a-4p), but I work with pet parents' needs and can always work with the fur babies before I go to work and after work as long as that fits the pet parent's needs. I work with pet parents to create an individualized plan. By making these, I can know all the do's and don'ts with their pet. I have experience with clients with fenced yards to lease only and crating dogs while away. I will ensure your pet is safe, comfortable, and stress-free while in my care.

About: I used to work as a Vet Tech for 3 years. Up until a few years ago I have always had an indoor dog and/or cat. When our fur baby Milly (Pit/ Staffy) passed and we found we enjoy entertaining a variety of breeds. Since then we have got another pit baby Ollie. He has grown up with a new pup in the house almost daily. He loves friends! He is very well socialized and loves everyone! We would love to share all our love with your Fur baby. My kids love when the fur babies want in bed with them. I have a nice sized fenced in back yard, and different sized kennels, including an extra large kennel. Also an exterior 10x 10 covered kennel outside. We love bringing your sweet baby in to our home to get some loving from all of us. I have 4 kids 20, 18, 13, 8. They all love animals and know how to treat fur babies. We have 5 cats, Shadow, Toofless, Athena, Mustashio, & Corbin. We are in a nice neighborhood and can take daily walks if that is what your pup enjoys. We play fetch in the back yard all the time. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! Thank you for considering us! I am a stay at home mom and homeschool all my kids. We are a big part of our church CTC:Church That Cares Tarkington and are in attendance every time the doors are open. I am the Tech team leader and my husband plays the bass. My 2 oldest daughters run our coffee shop & sing as well. We like to walk on a leash, even in the fenced in yard, to make sure you are comfortable. Please let us know if you would prefer them to free roam in the yard with supervision.

“Shy was amazing with my dog Benji. She came to my house, took him on his walk, and brought him back safe and happy. She followed all the details I left and showed undeniable care the whole time. Benji was very relaxed and content after his walk. I will definitely be using her services again and again. Also I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”

About: What sets me apart is the patience, attention, and genuine care I give every pet. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’m comfortable following detailed routines, caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and giving pets the time they need to feel comfortable with me. I also provide plenty of communication, photos, and updates so owners can feel at ease while they’re away. Luckily, my schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate drop-in visits throughout the day and provide care when your pet needs it most. I am happy to discuss your best schedule. For drop-in visits, I care for pets in the comfort of their own home and follow the routine and instructions provided by their owner. During each visit, I can provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, walks if requested, playtime, affection, and any other care your pet may need.

About: Hello! I’m Kas I’m located in 77328. I pet and house sit around Conroe, Willis, Kingwood, Montgomery. My radius is around 40-50 minutes from my home address with some flexibility as I am willing and able to travel beyond the area. Every household is different, so I take the time at a meet and greet to understand your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs. Whether your pets enjoy quiet companionship, being a little shadow and keeping their carer in line of sight, yard time, regular walks in the neighborhood, playtime, medication support, or simply having someone nearby while you’re away, for whatever reason, I’ll tailor my care to help them and you feel secure and confident. My focus is on maintaining your pet’s home routine and providing loving, attentive, personalized care. Clients describe me as calm, trustworthy, attentive, respectful, organized, and the sort of person who genuinely cares for a home. My goal is simple: for you to return home to happy, relaxed pets, looking forward to seeing you, a tidy and well-cared-for home, and the confidence that everything has been looked after while you were away. I’d love to meet you—and your furry family members! Call me to arrange a meet and greet to check our compatibility. Pet care fits comfortably into my weekly routine, as my main occupation. With grown sons I am not yet an empty nester, but my schedule allows me to provide attentive, personalized care in your pet’s own home. I’m able to accommodate drop-in visits (30/60 minute), whole day-care from 8am to 6pm, extended house-sitting bookings, single overnight stays, long-weekends and week long or more; care tailored to your pet’s normal routine. During house-sitting bookings, your home can be my primary base, allowing your pets to enjoy familiar surroundings while receiving calm, consistent companionship with one single person. Through my married life (25 years) my husband and I had a beagle who passed at age 15, and our two sons. Starting pet sitting has been a blessing for me in this transition phase I’m in waiting for my young adult sons to move out of home. I believe pets are happiest when they can remain in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by familiar sights, smells and routines. You’ll find me to be calm, attentive and respectful of both your pets and your home. I care for every household as though it were my own, taking time to learn each pet’s personality, routines and preferences. I particularly enjoy caring for companion dogs and cats who love being close to people, whether that’s sharing quiet company while I read, relaxing nearby while I work on my laptop, or spending time outdoors together in the yard or on a walk. I am willing to transport dogs or cats in my car however this is something to negotiate. I can transfer to an airport or drive a few hours to a new location for those who are away for vacation or moving house with negotiation. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, settled and loved while you’re away.

About: I’ve always grown up around all different types of animals from dogs and cats to snakes and fish so I have had lots of practice. I have had many family members, family friends and friends of my own ask for help and I’m always so happy to do so!! I am currently taking an online class for college so I am available almost any time and any day. I cannot do Saturday’s because I live with a toddler so I stay home and visit with family on the weekend, but other than that I am free, so why not spend it with cuties!? I always keep up with the animals that are in my care I always make sure I’m paying attention to what they eat, how much they are eating, making sure they have water at all times, I make sure to take them on at least 2-3 walks a day depending on how long they are in my care! I also make sure to provide them some fun and playtime so they are not alone all day or in a kennel cooped up all day either.

About: We are a new family of three and are preparing to add a wired hair fox terrier in the near future. We had a family dog when I was young but he sadly passed away due to old age. My husband and son love dogs and all animals. His previous pair of dogs was sadly stolen from him and he hasn’t been ready to get another pet. That recently changed when our son started showing extreme interest in dogs and other animals. We want to test the waters with dog boarding and walking to see before committing. For us, a pet is forever. I work from home and my work is flexible. I can accommodate changes in schedule. My office is in the galleria area and my house is in humble. I can do dog walks in the galleria area as well. I have a fenced backyard and empty rooms to house the dogs if they need to have their own space. We live in a very friendly neighborhood and parks nearby.

About: I've taken care of many cats and dogs from my own, family and friends', fosters, animal shelters... the list goes on. I love animals. I have an apple head chihuahua (7 years old) and 2 GSD-Malinois puppies that are 5 months old. I'm the sitter that sends consistent pictures, updates, and pays 24/7 attention to your babies. I want to be the person that puts you at ease, as I know how it feels to be worried about leaving your babies. Hoping to find furry friends for my puppies too! EVERY. DAY. My older chihuahua is very low maintenance, but my GSD-Malinois puppies are extremely needy. We're very active, outside every 2 hours at least, tennis balls, tug-o-war, treat training, dog walks, and hug and kisses time. Depends on the age, but, first and foremost, is check the floor and keep my belongings out of reach. Give the pets space and time to adjust, offer some treats, and follow your pet's lead- both in my home or yours. Everything revolves around the baby.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Cleveland. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Cleveland after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
