“Susana did a great job. It was a godsend that she was able to be flexible and adjust things last minute to help me. She was also very fast at responding and gave me great notes/photos at the check ins. Thank you!”

“Issac was great walking and checking in on Loubie. He was dependable, attentive, and clearly cared about her well-being. Communication was great, and I felt confident she was well taken care of.”

“Sam was a wonderful kitty care taker!! She was super communicative, sent great updates and photos, and I felt comfortable knowing my kitties were in great hands. Will rebook!”

“I would definitely rebook Faith in a heartbeat! We took in a feral cat quite literally a few days before we left out of town and she was incredible. She was so gracious and offered to meet us in person prior to us leaving for the holiday so she knew where everything was and knew the lay of the land. She filled out the Rover cards, took pictures of our girl, and kept us posted along the way. I felt at ease knowing that Faith was going to be dropping in on our skittish new kitty.”

About: I will make sure to give all of my attention and love towards your dogs and keep them good company. I am very responsible with taking care of dogs and will make sure they get the exercise they need if that is what I am asked to do. I will even just watch them while you are gone and keep them company. I will do anything they need and make sure they are okay. I can't wait to meet all of the wonderful furry friends I will get to meet. This is my full time job at the moment so I have a lot of availability to care for your dogs and cats and dedicate my time. I care for pets and others homes. I have lots of experience going and doing pet care and other people’s homes. I’m very respectful of others houses.
“Sydney and James are great with their care with Kiwi - they fed him according to my guidelines and also brushed him. They played with kiwi during their visits and enjoyed their time together. I will recommend them to anyone!”

“Victoria was incredible! Very responsive and so good to our teddy! Takes cute photos and will help clean up any messes the pup may make! She is perfect to take out teddy!”

“I requested a last- minute drop in visit and Jessica was quick to respond, she updated me with pictures, was on time and completed the full 30 mins. Highly recommend her to other pet parents!”

About: I have always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs, and caring for them comes naturally to me. With years of hands-on experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable handling large breeds, small breeds, and everything in between, and I understand how their needs can vary depending on their size and stage of life. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications, and of course plenty of playtime and affection. Pet sitting isn’t just a job to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. I am currently in school but available almost everyday after 3:00 and in the summer available all day, everyday to take care of your pets! I have a large fenced in yard and big house with a big kennel if needed. I have a very friendly cat and cavalier King Charles spaniel however they can easily be separated from your pet if required!
“Quincy loves Ellen so much! He always gets soooo excited to see her! Ellen is responsible and very communicative! Whenever she watches him, I can trust that he is in good care!! ❤️❤️”

About: i’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes for several years now and always treat them as my own. your dog will feel right at home at my house with lots of room for play time and also lots of cozy places to snuggle! I work full time but am available intermittently through the week and on weekends for daytime and overnight care. We enjoy taking walks and exploring the city but also napping and relaxing when needed! I have a semi fenced in yard that is pretty spacious. Dogs are always leashed when taken out for safety purposes. Cleanliness is a top priority along with making sure your dog is happy and healthy.
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.
“Madi was just fabulous! She was consistent with visiting and taking care of my cat and worked with my apartment manager for apartment access. She communicated well and I appreciated her following up. I will definitely rebook!”
“James was so amazing with our 2 dogs! We had a pet emergency and he was able to pick them up last minute and watch them while we were away. His wife is also so sweet and caring! Would highly recommend him!”

About: From a young age, I have always had a pet. I love animals and look forward to taking care of your special pet/s :) I have experience with all ages and tailor my care depending on their individual needs. I am responsible, punctual, and detail-oriented. I am currently a first year law student at Cleveland State, so I have a lot of flexibility with my school schedule. Mondays I have class from 1:00-2:40 pm, Tuesdays & Thursdays from 10:00am-11:15am & 1:00-2:40 pm, and Wednesdays from 10:00-11:45am & 1:00-2:40pm. UPDATE: during the summer I work full time from 8-4:45. My boyfriend and I keep our apartment spotless so your dog/cat would be safe from any foods that may cause them harm! I also love going on walks or cuddling with your pet on the couch.
“Erin was wonderful! We have a recently diagnosed diabetic cat and have been anxious about leaving the house. Erin came and met our cat ahead of time to learn his needs and was very thorough to make sure that she could take care of our sweet boy. We felt confident in her ability to administer an insulin injection to our cat, and our two other skittish cats even came out for her! She sent plenty of photos of the babies, was prompt with her arrival, and actively communicated with us leading up to and during her visit. We will absolutely book with Erin again and will recommend her to friends and family.”


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: I have taken care of different breeds and ages of dogs. I have taken care of senior-aged dogs with a variety of needs as well as younger pups! I have even gained the trust of more protective/nervous dogs and have successfully taken care of them. I'm a teacher currently on summer break, so I have a lot of time and flexibility to make sure that your amazing pet receives the care they need! During the school year, I make sure that all needs are met before leaving for the day (food, water, walks) and that they get everything they need before bed time! I do my best to care for your pet the same way you would! Any entry routines or special meal time requirements you do for your pet, I'll follow those as well! While there, I keep spaces clean and am very mindful of everything in your home,

Torrey was the best! We have to keep our kitties separated and she was very understanding of that and made us feel comfortable while on vacation. We got lots of photos (which we loved!) and she was very quick to respond/ communicate. This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely try to book Torrey the next time it is needed.

Genevieve was FABULOUS! I was in town for work and needed someone able to be with my service dog at the Rocket Arena for multiple hours in a row twice a day ... and on very short notice. She was everything I requested and much more. It was obvious that she loves dogs, and we even found quite a lot in common between us. I HIGHLY recommend Genevieve for people who want someone to care as much for their dog(s) as they do themselves. 5 stars; highly recommend!

Sam is such an amazing sitter!! I had her watch my cat for a second time. She is so good with my cat, and respects her boundaries while caring for her. She always sends multiple pictures and great updates when she does a drop in. She is also very responsive to messages and requests. If you’re looking for a sitter I definitely recommend reaching out to her!!
