“Our dog received excellent care from Madi for an overnight house sitting. Madi communicated regularly and provided several updates and pictures. Our home was kept clean. Most of all, our dog seemed to have a fun and comfortable experience. We would highly recommend Madi!”

“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.”

“Chloe is an amazing house/dog sitter! I highly recommend her! She stayed with my 3 dogs for over a week while I was on a cruise. I had wifi and cell service issues, but she worked with me and we stayed in contact when I could. Upon return, my dogs are happy, healthy and glad to have us back (although they are been looking for Chloe too!) My house is clean, my dishes were washed and put away, and everything is just as I left it! Chloe was my perfect solution!”

“August was wonderful with my fur baby and my home. It was so much easier to just leave and go on vacation instead of packing my dog up with all her stuff and trying to pick her up. I think it was less stressful for both of us. I definitely will be using August in the future.”

“Chy was great with my girls, H and M! She took great care of my dogs and my home while I was away. She is an excellent communicator and sent me photos every day I was gone. I will definitely be asking her to house/dog sot for me again the future.”

“Keith was very responsive and available to come to our home to meet Abbot before our trip. When we left for our trip, he arrived at our home on time, let me know he was here, and sent pics of the dogs. He maintained regular communication and pictures even though we were only gone two days. He was schedule was accomodating if we ran into weather issues, which luckily we did not. He let me know when he left the house and it was in the exact same condition as when we left. We were comfortable having him our home and will use him again on our next trip.”


“Meg was great! Our puppy took to her IMMEDIATELY. She sent photos, took him out consistently and was just all around pleasant and great with our dog. We will absolutely request her services again.”

“We were so lucky to have Mickey take care of our Sofie. He went above and beyond, especially with handling an unexpected neighborhood blackout. It is rare to find someone so professional and compassionate. Would hands down recommend to anyone.”


About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with two large dogs of my own, one energetic and playful and one older, calmer pup. They’re both very social and love making new friends, so if your dog enjoys companionship, they’ll have built in buddies during their stay. We welcome dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m especially comfortable with large breeds, as my Labrador Retriever is 105 pounds and my Bernese Mountain Dog is 113 pounds, so I’m experienced handling bigger, stronger dogs on walks and during playtime. Your pup will get lots of attention, supervision, and outdoor time throughout the day. I’m also active and love being outside, so whether your dog prefers walks, runs, backyard playtime, or sticking to their normal routine, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, exercised, and right at home. I love getting to know each pup ahead of time, so I do require at least 3 days notice to allow for a meet and greet before booking. My husband and I both work from home full time, which allows us to provide frequent potty breaks and constant supervision. We also have separate office spaces, so if any dogs need a break from playtime or a calmer environment, we are able to separate them as needed. With two dogs of our own, we are fully stocked with the essentials including toys, treats, water bowls, beds, and more. We also have a fully fenced in yard with a gate, so the dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time without worry.
“Maddie was fantastic! She was highly proactive with outreach and made sure to ask lots of questions. She was prompt with a meet and greet and made sure to keep our dog comfortable, giving her all the attention needed and handling things according to our instructions. She was kind, responsive and communicative throughout. We came home to a very happy dog - we wouldn’t hesitate a second to have her back over!”

“Jessica did a fantastic job taking care of our pup! She communicated well, asked great questions, sent lots of pictures, and was overall well equipped and prepared. Never doubted for a minute the care amour dog was receiving. I know our dog can’t wait to have her back and I’d certainly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for excellent care!”

“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!!”

About: I have been walking dogs and pet-sitting for over 10 years now. I started walking dogs around the neighborhood and quickly demonstrated my dependability to clients. Through client word-of-mouth and recommendations, I started pet-sitting overnight. My responsibilities ranged from simple daily walks while clients were traveling to weeklong stays at residences, caring for several pets, watering plants, and doing light housework. I work remotely which allows me to be with your pet all day while sitting! This flexibility also gives me the opportunity for walks during the day and short notice care. I am very active so taking your dog out will be the best part of my day! I will follow any and all instructions you leave me for in-home pet care. I can assure you I will meet and exceed your expectations for pet-sitting. I will care for your pet as if they’re my own!

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.
“Danielle was truly heaven sent while we were on our honeymoon. Our dog has special needs and she handled everything like a pro! Our pup even had some tummy troubles while she was there and she went absolutely above and beyond to take care of him until we could get back. We are so grateful to have found Danielle and we will absolutely book with her again!”

“Palace did a wonderful job housesitting with my dog Honey. The communication was great with daily photo updates. I would happily recommend Palace. It’s clear she loves animals and take great care with them.”

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!
Downtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lydia did an excellent job! She communicated well, sent us lots of pictures, and asked all kinds of questions to ensure she was providing the best care possible. We appreciated her flexibility, friendliness, and holistic care for our pup. Glad to have her back in the future!

Andria is perfect and an absolute pleasure to work with! She took lots of photos of our furbabies and was respectful of our house. She even brought in a package delivery from outside, which is just so sweet! Andria is clean, well organized and very thorough. Andria was available on super short notice, which helped us out immensely.

Jonathan was amazing! I would absolutely book with him again. He helped us out in such a pinch and followed every routine for our dogs. He was very communicative and sent many pictiures. He stayed at our home and left it in prestine condition, 10/10 stars from me!

Pups seemed to love her!! She was willing to meet and greet before since im anxious leaving my pups with someone else. Was so kind as to being our 40 pound bags of dog food too since it arrived earlier than expected 😭 would def book again and cant wait to see how my pups grow to like her even more!!

Georgia did a great job watching our pup while we were traveling for the week. She kept her fed and happy, and even helped with last minute medications. She was very clear and consistent in communication and made it so we never doubted the standard of care our dog was receiving.

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!
