“Christine was flexible and communicative when watching our dog and cat. Her flexibility in being able to watch our house and animals last minute after another booking fell through really helped us. She took care of our animals who both have medications and our dog with separation anxiety which isn’t the easiest to handle, but she did just a great job in updating us several times a day through the weekend. Would definitely recommend her to watch your pets and home!”
“Sprout did an amazing job taking care of Alfie! She walked him regularly, sent us pictures, and gave him a bath when he inevitably rolled in the mud. We’ll be glad to have her look after Alfie in the future!”
“Shermont'e was very respectable and patient with our dogs, (our dogs can be shy meeting new people). He constantly gave us updates on how they were doing, and that our most shy dog warmed up to him by the end of his stay! 10/10 would recommend!!”
“Aspen is magnificent, takes incredible care of our animals, extremely great with communication, and is an absolute pleasure to have when we are away!”
“We had Spencer house sit our cattle dog mix and two kitties and he did a wonderful job keeping them healthy and happy while we were out of town for a few days! He’s an excellent communicator and updated us throughout the stay. Totally recommend!”
About: Hi! I'm Danielle, a lifelong animal lover based in Cleveland with four fabulous cats of my own. I bring compassion, reliability, and experience to every pet I care for—because I know firsthand how much they mean to you. Whether your pup needs a long, energizing walk or your kitty needs meds and a cuddle, I’ve got it covered. I’ve been a cat mom my entire life and cared for my family dog throughout high school and college, so I’m equally comfortable with both. ✅ Available 7 AM – 7 PM, flexible for short notice ✅ Mobile with my own transportation—vet visits and errands included ✅ Skilled in feeding routines, giving meds, and handling special care ✅ Single and fully focused—your pets are my top priority! Let’s chat about how I can help keep your pets happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away or at work. I’d be honored to be part of your pet’s care team! I'm currently starting my own business so my time is very flexible. Pet care has always been my number 1 priority since I was young but especially since I adopted my first two cats in 2013 and my second bonded pair in 2023. I'm available to come to your home, pick up your dog for walks, vet visits and in your home I'll be their #1 fan! Providing quality care!
“Ari was great! She kept us updated with messages and pictures and followed all of our instructions! She was absolutely essential to us enjoying a few days away without worrying about our pups. We have a very large dog ( 100lbs) and she handled him no problem.”
“If I could give 100 stars I would. Alle is the best sitter I could have asked for. Not only did I receive updates and photos but my home was left immaculate. Alle is kind and caring and took GREAT care of my little guy. Will definitely be using Alle again!”
“Joe took care of our guys and house for a long weekend. He took the boys on long walks and we could tell that they were super happy with Joe. Very good communicator and highly responsible. We will be scheduling with Joe again soon.”
“I would give 100 stars, if I could! It was my first time leaving my puppies, and Ishmell was soooo wonderful! He stayed at my house over night, took care of all 3 dogs, and was a great house guest! So happy I found him, and can't wait to use him again!”
“Bryn was such a joy to have dog sitting our “only child”, our 4-year-old yorkie. Despite being anxious dog owners leaving him with a sitter for the first time, she was calm and communicative. She gave our dog, Byron, many walks and cuddles and sent a picture a day to give us our fix! :) She very kindly dealt with a broken dishwasher and the maintenance man, and also fetched our mail and packages while we were away. We highly recommend her as a sitter. Thank you, Bryn! We will be reaching out again in the future!!”
“Meg was amazing!! We’re always nervous leaving our little rescue terrier in anyone else’s hands, but Meg was communicative and friendly, and we came home to a calm and happy pup and an exceptionally tidy house. Meg, Sadie says she can’t wait to see you again!”
“Kalie did an amazing job watch my small dog and two cats for a long weekend. She stayed over at my house so my pets were kept in their same routine. I loved all the pictures and updates she sent. She left the house so clean when I came home and my babies were so relaxed. I will absolutely use her again! Cannot recommend her enough!”
“SHE IS AMAZING. Seriously the best. She communicates well, sends pictures and videos every day, and obviously loves animals. My dogs loved her and they are normally very shy and picky with people they don’t know. I will definitely be booking again.”
About: I have had a lifelong affinity with animals! I've had dogs and cats my entire life and am currently the proud mama of two dogs and a cat. I've worked in an 24 hour emergency vet clinic and am certified in laser therapy for both dogs and cats. I've taken some dog training certification classes, too! I can walk, play, feed, and give medication as needed. Early mornings and later in the evenings work, as well! I work 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday, but I'm always happy to work my schedule around yours to best serve you and your pets! While I don't host in my own home, I am so happy to watch your pets in their own home. I will be prompt with scheduled feeding times as well as scheduled walks (or whatever else they need!)
“Kaitlin watched mine and my girlfriends pup, Benni, and our 2 kitties, MJ and Millie, while we had an emergency situation and had to leave to go out of town unexpectedly. She was communicative the entire time and gave us soooo many pictures and videos, which we absolutely appreciated, especially during such a stressful trip. She made something that could’ve been so stressful, an absolute breeze. She cared for our babies like they were her own and went above and beyond making sure everything was cleaned up before we got home. Our babies absolutely loved and adored Kat and her amazing energy proved she loves caring for animals. We cannot thank her enough for providing love, safety, and comfortability not only for our babies, but for us too. We will ABSOLUTELY be booking her for any future stays and would recommend her in a heartbeat for anyone looking for a pet sitter. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much Kat!”
“Samantha was amazing! She watched my dog for 4 days and did such a great job. She communicated with me throughout the stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: I have my own puppy and I love her more than words can explain. She is the light of my life and my favorite person I am currently working part time as a ICU Registered Nurse, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your dogs, pups or cats I have an apartment that’s close to a walking trail and a dog park. Daily walks will be extra fun and I also have a dog they can play with
“Kelsey was an overall great sitter. She showed up on time and we received updates during our trip. When we came home, our house was exactly as we left it and both the cat & dog were well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Kelsey to anyone for pet/house sitting.”

Danielle C.
“Danielle makes an excellent pet sitter because she already understands the patience, attention, and consistency animals need to feel safe and loved. She knows how to keep pets healthy and happy, and takes pride in providing a comfortable environment. Her natural instinct to nurture, paired with her sense of responsibility, ensures every pet in her care gets the same affection and dedication she gives the four furry friends she lives with. She is an excellent pet sitter to my two cats when I need time away, and I recommend Danielle for you!”

Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Spencer was wonderful with dog Honey. We think she had a great time. When we got home, she was looking for Spencer everywhere. Haha. If you are looking for someone that will care and show your dog lots of love, Spencer is the guy to hire. This was our first time using Rover and we were not disappointed. We will definitely hire Spencer again.
When I had to go out of town for a week, Madison did an amazing job taking care of my cat, who is recovering from surgery and on 3x/day antibiotics. She kept me informed throughout and helpfully trouble shooted when my cat started resisting her medicine. I’m very grateful for Madison’s help over the last week and would recommend her to you!
We had a wonderful experience with Kelsey! I had her sit with my pup for a few hours at my hotel while I attended an event. Finnley loved her and got lots of pets and cuddles! Kelsey was prompt, sweet and caring toward Finnley. I'll def use her again when I'm in town. Thanks so much Kelsey!!
I cannot say enough good things about Lauren. Imagine this scenario, a first time client leaving town, two dogs, one is a crazy puppy, not house trained yet! Both get sick and have diarrhea! It’s below freezing outside and the dogs don’t want to go out because the frost is burning their feet.Somehow Lauren handled all of it plus some without a hiccup or complaint. Absolutely incredible.
James was our first ever Rover and he was awesome! We met him and his pups before the reservation and he helped us understand what our dog’s stay would look like and answered any questions we had. During the stay, he was great about updates with pictures, which included daily walks, our dog enjoying his backyard, and time with his dogs. We’ll be booking again!!
Anthony is just delightful, dependable and an attentive friend for Willow. I needed care for Willow for a full day and a half while visiting Cleveland during a work conference. Anthony just immediately put me at ease and bonded with Willow. He brought me peace of mind and fun adventures for Willow. I appreciate his kindness and maturity and can’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you Anthony and Willow says Woof ❤️
