“Sia was wonderful! Our pup is a little shy at first, and Sia was so patient and warm while Apple warmed up to her. She gave detailed explanation of what they did together, and took many pictures to show our sweet happy pup in her care! I am so glad to have found Sia, and I will definitely be using her again!”
“A huge lifesaver. They were able to feed and visit with my gfs dog and give me peace of mind for the morning. They were very communicative and sent a great photo of him.”
“April was amazing. Very professional. Took care of any changes we had immediately. Our Animal kingdom loved her, and she loved taking care of them. She was always on time for her drop-ins and she checked in and checked out perfectly. She let us know of any issues, a and took care of them immediately. Such a pleasure knowing that we could relax knowing our pets would be well cared for. We were able to concentrate on our family. We will most definitely book with her again.”
About: I’m interested in this position because pets have a soft spot in my heart. I grew up with two dogs and four cats. We sometimes let in strays as well. I was the one responsible for feeding my pets and cleaning up the litter box. My own canine family started when I was 18. I have experience with dogs with diabetes, orthopedic reconstruction and chronic systemic arthritis. I am confident that I can care for and love on your pet while you’re away so you have few concerns about your loved one. I have a very flexible schedule. I am a stay at home mom of teenagers. I have the ability to care for your pet based on your schedule and needs. I offer care in the client’s home. I will follow the instructions the client tells me. My own dog has such a schedule and routine of when to go out vs eating so I completely understand the need for routine. I will always make sure safety comes first. If there isn’t a fence then I would prefer to have the pet on a leash. I would never want a pet getting loose and running off.
“Kylee is amazing!! Works around whatever scheduling is necessary, very accommodating and sent daily update pictures! Loved being able to honeymoon while knowing my little kitty was being well taken care of. Tom and I thank you Kylee!”
“Excellent!!! Mikayla did such an amazing job caring for our big boy Luke. She was on time and extremely professional. She sent us a detailed Rover card and great pictures. We’ll book her again next week and beyond!”
“Jennifer is the best!!!! My cats were treated so well that I didn't see any difference in their behavior after our extended departure. They were relaxed when we arrived and I could see right away that they really liked the care Jennifer gave them. Jennifer was very helpful and available. She helped us out when our trip out of the country was extended by 2 weeks. I had peace of mind knowing my cats were in good hands. Everything was clean when I arrived and my cats had missed us, but I could see that they were relaxed and well fed. seraphin, my most shy cat, was super comfortable with her, and that's a great proof of the quality of the bond Jennifer knows how to build with animals. Thank you :-)”
“Franci was wonderful!! I lost one of my cats right before my trip and she was so kind and caring to my other cat. She put me at ease while I was gone and was a great communicator!! I would definitely ask her to care for my babies again!!”
About: Hi my name is Rachelle! I’ve walked and watched most dogs since I was seventeen my love for dogs and animals are my passion. I’ve had animals such as goats, dogs, ducks you name it since I was little! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! I have a year and a half German shepherd who has very high energy so we spend most of our time in the yard playing fetch and going on walks My German shepherd requires a lot of walks and running through out the day it makes for a very fun day especially to see her so happy! I make sure everything is ok while I am walking them, make sure I have plenty of water with me and it’s not too hot for them
About: I have a lot of experience taking care of all dogs from breeding to just having pets. I have lots of knowledge when it comes to medical issues with dogs due to my experience with breeding and owning older animals. I work remotely so your animal will have someone home with them all hours of the day! I can take dogs for walks and to the dog park. They will also be able to play with my animals. I will take care of your animals as if they are my own. I love taking care of them and going for walks. They will have plenty of play time and walks.

Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover all my life. I've had dogs of my own and have always loved to take care of family and friend's dogs. I pet sat part time in the late 1980's & have done it full time since 2010. Meet my pets Will care for most domestic animals including reptiles and birds.

They can also have the familiar sights, sounds & smells that make them feel safe in their own home.

I am available for your let's needs, whether that be stop I'm visits, house sitting and overnight stays and more. I also do pet and family portraiture. I do not care for client's pet in my home, but rather the pet's own home so they feel confident, safe, relaxed and can keep their own routines, surrounded by familiar sights, sounds and smells.
“Cameron was a perfect walker for Pongo! She took loving care of him during the time she was here and provided detailed information on her visit. Her communication was great and Pongo was very happy with her care.”
About: After a cross country move and the chaos of travel, I understand how important a reliable pet sitter is! For the past 20 years, I have worked in grooming salons, managed a doggie daycare facility, volunteered at the Humane Society, and was a dog nanny for a year. I was also the Animal Crew Team Lead at a summer camp for three years and took care of goats and chickens. My family has always had dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, so I am comfortable and experienced in handling all breeds, sizes, and ages. For walks, I do ask that dogs are leash-trained and non-aggressive. I have two cats, so I understand the time and attention they need while you’re away as well. Whether you need a quick drop in visit for feeding or an extended stay while you’re away, I can help you! My services include: * Lots of playtime * Frequent photo updates * Bringing the mail inside * Taking out the trash on trash day (overnight stays) * Watering houseplants or garden (prices vary depending on size) My phone is always nearby and I am easy to contact! I’d like to introduce myself to you and your pet before booking a service. Contact me anytime to schedule your meet and greet! Thank you for checking out my profile, I hope to talk to you soon! I currently work from home full-time and probably need playtime and walks just as much as your pets do! I am flexible with times and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I always follow instructions so you can count of me to take care of your pets. Your pets safety and happiness are my top priority.

She was wonderful about staying in touch with us throughout the time we were away, texting pictures and updates on how our furbabies were doing. She also brought our mail in, took our garbage can out on collection day, watered our plants and made sure the pool pump was functioning properly. She really gave us peace of mind that our pets and home were in good hands. Multiple people in our neighborhood also had Janet as their pet sitter and were also pleased with her service.”

Laura Jean followed all our instructions, took Nellie for nice long walks, fed and cared for all. She is a real animal lover! She took to our pets right away and they felt comfortable with her. My husband and I felt so confident being away, with our house and our pets in her care. She is completely trustworthy and capable.”
Cleveland Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Katherine is our favorite pet sitter we’ve ever had! As someone who feels anxiety leaving their pets in someone’s care, I can finally enjoy my time away from home because she takes such great care of them. She takes lots of fun pictures of their time together and my dogs love when she comes to play. I cannot recommend her enough!
Sunni is an angel and I am extremely grateful for all her help! The fact that my shy cat came out during her visits tells me a lot about how kind of a person she is! I would not hesitate to request her again and I absolutely recommend her for anyone wanting first-class care for their fur babies! Thank you Sunni!
