“Tara is great with our puppy, Maverick! She was able to come to my home to let him out for me very last minute and even made time to come meet him before that first day. He is a puppy with a lot of energy, but she has so much patience with him and is happy to help with his training as much as possible during her visits. I am so happy that we found someone willing to come out twice a day through his puppy stage! We have already re-booked and will continue to do so as long as she is available. Thanks so much Tara and Tyler, for making these chaotic puppy days a little less stressful!”

“My dogs took to William/were extremely at ease with him immediately - he has calming mojo 😉 He is very responsive, very punctual with his visits, and thorough with his visit reports .... and also is very conscientious and goes above and beyond - bringing in the mail and tidying up around the house if he sees something that needs attention! I would certainly recommend William to anyone needing someone to care for their furbabies!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I love all animals, big and small. My family often asks me to watch their dogs when they go out of town. I can assist with giving medications, feeding, walks, brushing, etc. I love finding new ways to bond with animals, whether that be walks, going to the park, getting a pup cup, etc. I know every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I am patient about letting dogs warm up to me at their own pace and pay close attention to their body language to ensure they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. My full time job is flexible as I work hybrid. I work from home every Monday and Friday. I can assist those days generally any time with advanced notice, during the evening throughout the week, and anytime on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and one friendly dog. I am happy to walk your dog or play with them in your yard or house if that’s what you prefer! I enjoy taking pups for a pup cup or ice cream and have a dog seatbelt in my vehicle!
About: I have been taking care of dogs most of my life. I am 57. I have done dog training and agility with 2 of our dogs. I have had a puppy and dealt with Senior dogs too. I love to give our dog lots of attention with play time, walking and outdoor activities. I love to take walks and go to other parks too. With the owner's permission, I love to go to the dog park-Bow Wow dog park and the Akron Dog Park. I give your furry one lots of attention with play time-throwing toys-playing fetch with a ball or toy. Letting them have backyard time. We have a fenced in back yard for the dogs to be free. I also will brush your dog and pet them and give them attention, while you are away. I will treat your dog like he/she is my own dog. Another place I will take dogs is Petsmart or Pet Supplies Plus for social interaction and exercise. I am at home and available most days. We have a 20 year-old Son, who also loves dogs! My Husband helps out too, with walks and letting the dogs out in our backyard and is a dog person. Currently, I am not working. I have a knee problem and some medical issues that prevent me from working full time. I have plenty of time to take care of your dog. We love to take walks and go to the dog parks. However, if you prefer your dog not to go to the dog park, that is fine. We could go on walks and let your dog go outside in our backyard. We have lots of dog toys, bones, balls, etc... I do have a walk thru pet gate that I set up to block off the kitchen and dining room area. We will feed our dog and your dog separately in separate rooms. I love to brush and pet dogs. If needed, we could bath your dog too. We are a "dog" type family, that is our preference. We have had fish, hamsters and also a guinea pig in the past. I grew up with a cat in our home, as a child. We will throw ball and toys for the dogs and play with your dog. We have a small crate that is in our garage, however we don't usually use the crate. If we leave the home, depending on the situation, if your dog is destructive or chewing on furniture or other items, then we will crate your dog when we leave for church or a short errand. If you have a calm dog and the dog is not destructive and well mannered, then your dog could stay in the family room area, unless you prefer that your dog is in his crate. We will use 2 dog gates near our steps to go upstairs. We prefer that our dog and other dogs do not go upstairs. As a House Sitter, I would do any needed cleaning up of any messes I make. I would be bringing my own food, as I am gluten free and dairy free. The only thing I would need is some freezer and frigerated space for my food. I would follow your normal routine for your dog or dogs. I do have occasional Dr and therapy appointments, fyi. We have a home in Akron, with a fence in our backyard. We live near a forest, it is a quiet area. We have a small neighborhood, where the street dead ends to a forest. We don't get drive thru traffic, that use our area as a "short cut".
“Thanks for watching Fergie & Sy this weekend! They looked like they had a great time! Happy to hear Fergie wasn’t scared and Sy wanted pets! Thanks for always taking such good care of them!”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and it’s been a long one!! I’ve also had cats! I believe any animal is a family member and I also believe they understand us as their ‘humans’. I will take care of your animals as my own, which is spoiled! Currently I work part time and have time to dedicate to your pets. I will have more time soon as I’m going to retire!! I will provide quality care and time to your pet(s). I will watch and care for your pet as my own. I have one dog, poodle mix and she is very spoiled! Your pet will live like her with walks, treats, sleeping on the bed, laying on the couches, and getting tons of pets!!
“What a beautiful wonderful pet setter my 8 month old German Shepherd Gracie absolutely loved her. And so do I!!!! she not only showed much love and attention. She also did some training with her She is so knowledged about dogs! Can't wait to have her again!!”

“Jill was amazing! From the moment I met her I could tell she connected with my dog and myself! I feel like we both have a new friend. She took great care of Gracie while I was away. She sent pictures, videos and updates and really gave me peace of mind in leaving Gracie in her care. I would highly recommend Jill!!”

About: I have been working in the veterinary field for six years now. I’ve been working with all kinds of animals. So I am willing to check in on anything from reptiles to dogs and cats! I currently work three days ( Thursday-Saturday). But I would still be able to drop in and checking on your pets! Can also make time to take them on a walk/ hike if need for the high energy doggies I currently live in an apartment so unfortunately I am unable to have other animals here. But I do have two very spoiled dogs of my own also have a leopard gecko of my own!!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of all kinds since I was 7 and now I have a pet family of my own. Whether dropping in for a visit or walking your doggo when you can’t be there I just want to make your babies feel loved! I work night shift, so I am available mornings and evenings for drop in visits or walks. I know the importance of exercise and playtime for all babies. I have 4 cats and a golden retriever puppy. So handling chaos is my middle name. I’m happy to feed, have playtime and walk your babies.
“Miranda was amazing! We had a last minute change of plans and she not only jumped in to help, she treated our pets like her own, sent great pictures, and provided thorough updates while we were away. We would recommend Miranda to anyone who is looking for a sitter! Thanks again, Miranda!”


About: I grew up on a farm and have cared for different animals . From chickens all the way to Race Horses. I showed Boston Terries in the AKC realm along with training my German Short Hair Pointers for field exercises. I’ve had past experience with cats, Guinea Pigs and a Russian Tortoise . I’ve been a long time bird owner which includes Cockatiels and English Budgies. I’m currently retired and have a good bulk of time that I can provide to your animal(s) . I can provide daily scheduled care . If weekends are needed that would need to be discussed . I will take care of your pets to the exact instructions I’m given . Keeping with detail and your pets schedule . If you need any house plants watered or very light cleaning I would be willing to lend a hand . There would be a charge for the light cleaning and a discussion for what needs cleaned.
“Maria was fantastic! She came over and met us before we left so we could go over the details. Our cat Keke has separation anxiety and is never without someone at home. She warmed up to Maria right away and they were besties by the end of the week!”

About: Since I was young, I’ve always had a pet. After college I finally got a pet of my own and they’ve just multiplied over the years! Dogs are my specialty - I’ve taken care of dogs belonging to friends and family & I’ve trained both of my dogs since they were puppies. I’d say what sets me apart from others is that I have plenty of time in the afternoons (and any time during the weekend) to take care of your pup because my job ends early in the day unlike a 9-5 job. I have years of experience under my belt and I just really love animals. Always have and always will! As a teacher, I am always home early on the weekdays so I’ll have plenty of time every afternoon to play with & walk your dog! I am available any time on the weekends and I can board Fri-Sun. My husband and I have a big fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company! We are firm believers in lots of walks, lots of playtime, and positive reinforcement. If needed, we can provide a crate as a safe space for your dog to lounge in. Our dogs are our children and we will treat your dog with the same love as we treat our own :)
About: I have been responsible for pets since i was very young. I owned two dogs myself, both recently passed away. I was responsible for taking care of them. Outside of my own pets, I have watched, walked and cared for a few dogs! I love getting to know pets personalities! I have experience with cats as well! I have my own and have watched over multiple cats before. I’m currently in school and work full time ! All of my schooling is online and I work 3 12 hour shifts, so I am available 4/7 days of the week and if needed I am happy to do pet care after a shift! I always take extra precautions when handling others pets! I always double check with owners and how they feel about certain activities and routines for their pets

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Downtown
Lindsay took care of four cats while we spent an amazing two weeks in Japan. This included more than a little above and beyond. The experience was perfect. Lindsay executed a lot of specific requests flawlessly. We got frequent updates. We delighted in seeing pictures daily of Lindsay keeping our fur kids fed, engaged and happy. We normally worry about our little ones when out of the country. But with Lindsay we never doubted they were safe and happy. Helped us enjoy a once in lifetime adventure. We are so grateful.
Highly recommend! Alyssa did an absolute wonderful job watching my cats while I was away. She was incredibly attentive, kept me updated with great communication, and made sure everything was perfectly taken care of. If you are looking for a reliable, sweet, and trustworthy sitter, look no further…five stars all the way!!

This was our first time using Rover. We are so pleased with our experience with Zoey! She was very communicative, trustworthy and kind to our kitties. She sent photos everyday, even of our super scaredy cat who hid in tight spots during visits. She made sure everyone was doing well and gave pets to the ones who came out of hiding for attention. Zoey is our first pick for our next pet sitting service need!

Abby is kind, friendly and a great communicator. She watched our two cats over the holidays, and our cats loved her! Our finicky cat who normally hides from strangers for days was sitting in Abby’s lap within the first two days of our trip. She kept our place clean, and let us know if anything was wrong, or had any questions. We will absolutely book Abby again when we go out of town.
