“James was very easy going and patient with my puppy Moka. He took her for a nice extended walk, fed her and most of all, allowed her to warm up to him before he took her out.”
About: I absolutely love animals! I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses, cows, chickens, and even ducks! In my childhood household, we treated our pets as the much-loved members of the family that they were. In my adult life, I have continued this tradition by cherishing my own pets as if they were my children (because they are lol)! Whenever I’m out of town (or just out of the house for the day), I’m constantly thinking of my fur babies and what they might be doing. I love taking care of other peoples’ pets while they’re away because I know the pets love the attention and their parents can feel confidant about stepping out of the house! Whether the pets want to play, snuggle, or keep to themselves, it makes me so happy take care of them and make sure they’re happy and healthy! Pet sitting for me is a full time job! My schedule is very flexible, and it would be my pleasure to watch your fur babies while you’re away! Pets to me are not accessories in the house; they’re cherished members of the family! My priority for my own pets and my clients’ pets is that they are happy, healthy, and loved. It’s important to me that they drink enough water, are eating the right amount of nourishing food, and getting the right amount of play and rest! Beyond that, I like to let the pets take the lead regarding our interactions. If a pet wants snuggles, count me in! If a pet wants space, I can respect that and support them from afar.
“I was so stressed out about not getting a walker for my boy due to the practical blizzard outside. But James was able to make it happen! My heart is happy. 10/10 will rebook! (:”
“Absolutely love working with Victoria, and my pets definitely do too! Juno is always worn out and sleeps well the days she is walked by Victoria, and I appreciate having someone to exercise some of her excess energy! Couldn’t be happier! And the reports she leaves always make me smile. She gives my kitty a bit of attention when she comes in to walk Juno, which is much appreciated too”
About: I am a part time registered nurse with 5 years of pet sitting experience but currently new to Rover! I specialize in French bulldogs and dogs with mobility issues that may require extra care and medication administration but am also available to care for other breeds and healthy dogs and cats as well! I used to live in San Diego where I walked and cared for many dogs experiencing these issues and would love to continue to help others in my free time. My own dog has a history of skin issues, IVDD & liver issues which I have all learned to manage from my experience. I am an emergency department registered nurse so I also know how to stay calm in emergent situations and give your pets the care and love as I would give my own. I currently work part time so I have a very flexible schedule when it comes to dog walking or watching your animal in my home. I currently live in an apartment near the flats which is a very safe and dog friendly community. I walk my own dog four times a day and we also have a dog park for dogs that need to get more energy out. I am a helicopter mom when it comes to my own dog being around other dogs as far as safety so I would do the same for your dog as well. When my dog is not outside we relax in the apartment, play ball and I let him chew on only Nyla or Benebones. My dog also is one to get into anything left out so my place is very clean and nothing is ever left out on the floor, bed or closet that he might be able to get into.
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: Starting in July, I am available all day! I've always grown up with animals. I was born into a family with two older dogs, and grew up with 2 family dogs, Maggie & Henry, whom I loved and adored as family. When I moved to graduate school, I adopted two cats, Plum & May. I didn't grow up with cats, but during college up to now I spend time at local animal shelters volunteering and helping to socialize cats where I have time. Currently, I spend my free time trapping, spaying/neutering, and releasing feral cats in my neighborhood to give them better, safer lives. I work an 8-5pm job M-F currently in Cleveland. I am a graduate student, which does mean I am relatively busy, However, I am more than willing to try to fit pet-sitting/walking into my schedule. We can talk more about this if you want to book with me! I always like to get a detailed account of the owner's daily routine with the pet, as well as any medical or physical concerns I should be looking out for. If the client approves, I like to err on the side of reaching out if I have questions or concerns, rather than waiting until they get back. Additionally, having emergency veterinary information is a must, as I am willing to do what is necessary to keep your pet safe.
About: I’ve always had a dog, outside of a brief stint in college, and had care responsibilities from an early age. I have taken a dog CPR course. I currently own 2 large boxer mixes named Ben Franklin and Aretha Franklin! They are my buddies and I just live all dogs! Looking forward to helping care for yours! I work from home for myself and have an adaptable schedule, so I can generally work around pet care client needs. I’m open to working with clients to schedule at their convenience. In your home, your rules apply. I can keep pets company, feed them, let them out, have some play time , etc. If there’s anything specific you need, please request and I’ll try to accommodate reasonable requests.

“Torrey is amazing. She stepped up on short notice and took care of our Athena. She is so flexible and accommodating. She has been a great addition to our dog family.”
About: I grew up with a house filled with adopted and rescued pets including a cat who gave us 3 liters! As if that wasn’t enough for me, I also worked at a dog day care working with multiple dogs at once and catering to each specific need while encouraging proper play. My best friend was my Great Dane/Border Collie who just recently passed on, but he left me all the life lessons I need to care for others! I am available 24/7 with my remote job! I’ll be able to be extremely attentive to all pet needs. I love any and every excuse to get outside and active so no energy level is too much for me! We have a pet friendly apartment with friendly dogs throughout the neighborhood. We have a beautiful front yard as well as parks all around us!
About: I always had a dog growing up, and I've had one consistently for the last five years. I spent a year fostering before I adopted my current pup, so I've had experience with a lot of different kinds and sizes. I'm happy to run around with a puppy or younger, energetic dog, or chill out with an older buddy who just wants love. I'm open to all kinds, but I've always had a soft spot for bullies or other big dogs, because they're frequently misunderstood as dangerous when, more often than not, they're just big babies. My dog is reactive, so I know how to deal with dogs who need extra care and special protection, including from themselves. I firmly believe every dog deserves love, empathy, and care, even - maybe especially - those that might have been overlooked or dismissed. I have hardly ever met a dog I didn't like, and I can't wait to hang out with yours and give them all the play and love they deserve. I work from home, and I have a flexible schedule. I'm allowed to set my own hours, so I'll be happy to come visit your furbaby whenever they need it. I'm happy to come over and walk your dog, drop in and hang out with them in your home, or both. I unfortunately can't board your dog, nor can I spend the night house-sitting.
About: I grew up with my family dog whom I love very much. I also cat sit for friends and family whenever possible. I love all animals and love spending time with them! I’m currently working as a RN at the VA. I’m currently working as a full-time RN at the VA. My work schedule differs from week to week, but I’m very flexible with visits and hours on my days off. I can come as often or as little as you need! Unfortunately, at this time I’m not able to take care of pets in my apartment. I will make updates as necessary if anything changes.
About: Animal lover and experienced pet caregiver with a flexible schedule and a passion for making pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I grew up with two family dogs who were such an important part of my life, and I currently have two cats of my own that I absolutely adore. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities and energy levels. I love being active and outdoors, whether that means going on long walks, playing fetch, or simply giving pets extra attention and companionship throughout the day. My background in marketing and social media has made me highly organized, communicative, and dependable, so you can count on regular updates and reliable care. My availability is currently very open and flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of schedules and pet care needs throughout the week. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
“Taylor did a wonderful job with Alfie! She was available last minute and I was so thankful for her! I’d recommend Taylor to anyone looking for a dog walker. I would absolutely have her walk my dog again!”
About: I grew up with a dog for 12 years and lived with multiple young dogs in college. Loved and cared for all of them very well. Currently living in Tremont and working in Cleveland during the week, but I am free to work on the weekends for any amount of time. I love dogs and love going on walks outdoors, so I would make sure your pets get a good exercise in and enjoy the day.
Downtown dog parents share their Rover experiences
We just started working with Andria last week and have already had a great experience. She’s been very flexible with scheduling and does a wonderful job handling our husky mix, who tends to pull during walks. It’s clear she’s confident, attentive, and genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. We’re really happy to have found her and look forward to continuing!
Torrey was incredible with Bogey and so patient. He’s a nervous dog around new people (although quick to warm), and she took extra time to get to know him and make him feel comfortable before their walks! She was super responsive and was so helpful with last min walks ◡̈
