“Allyson took wonderful care of my puppy and was reliable, attentive, and communicative throughout each visit. I really appreciated the thoughtful check-ins and updates, and she made sure my puppy got plenty of playtime, attention, and care. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in great hands while I was away. Would absolutely recommend!”


“Molly and Caroline took great care of our cats when we were busy in the middle of a move and when we were away on a short trip. They were great with the cats and very nice. The cats loved them and enjoyed hanging out with them. We wholeheartedly recommend Molly and Caroline to anyone looking for a sitter for their fur babies.”

About: I’ve been around and taken care of dogs since I was a child, I grew up with an Australian Shepherd and Border Collie in my parent’s home. Now I have a mini-Aussie of my own that I love so very much. I am available all day every day, as I work from home. If you have a wifi connection, I can spend all day with your dog or dogs :) I can take care of your baby however you want me to - walk them, play with them in your home or yard, or bring them to a park.
About: When I was in grad school, I worked at an animal shelter and learned so much about taking care of animals. I've had pets my entire life: dogs, cats, birds, Guinea pig, hamsters, and fish, and I've dealt with it all: from babies to seniors, medications and ointments, special diets, and a range of picky habits and funny quirks...I absolutely adore animals! I work from home and my schedule is flexible so I definitely have time during my day/evening to help you take care of your pet, and it would be a really fun thing for me to do with my time. I have been a public school teacher for a couple decades, passing all background checks with flying colors. I realize that your pet and home are precious to you, and I will treat them with care, respect, and attention to detail. I will care for your pet by following your instructions precisely and will keep you updated with messages and pictures.
About: Growing up, I've always had animals in my life. At one point my family had four cats and three dogs! I absolutely adore animals and the comfort, joy, and love they provide to us humans. What better way to spend my free time than to spend it with fur babies! I'm currently employed full time as a licensed social worker, and would love to dedicate some of my free time to caring for animals. My work schedule is pretty flexible which would allow me to shift things around. If you're considering booking with me during the week and availabililty listed doesn't match, i recommend reaching out because i may just be able to accommodate it. Weekends are available as well. I offer a good balance of fun and energetic, and calm, relaxed, and secure environment for your animal friends. Communication is extremely important to me, and will ensure that this is the top priority to ensure that you feel at ease allowing your pets to be in my hands.
“We’ve booked with Melissa multiple times now for home drop-in visits when we’re out of town and she always does a great job! We trust her to take good care of our pets & definitely recommend her services :)”

“This was my first time using Rover, and James made the entire process incredibly easy. Before I even booked, he took the time to explain how everything worked and answered all my questions, which helped me feel comfortable right away. During the first week of appointments, he continued to check in, guide me through the app, and make sure I knew what to expect. He visits three days a week to help socialize my very grumpy, very particular cat, and he’s been so patient with her. He gives her space when she needs it, tries gently to engage when she’s willing, and always makes sure she’s fed and cared for. He’s flexible, kind, and clearly committed to helping her warm up at her own pace. The photos he takes are great. They always capture her personality and the fun notes he leaves on each report card make the updates something I look forward to. His consistency and care have made a real difference, and I’m grateful to have found someone I trust.”

“Peyton was very sweet with my cat, Sugar. She followed my instructions for her care and made sure that Sugar was safe and sound before leaving. I would definitely trust Peyton to take care of Sugar again.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets of all types for over 10 years! I understand it is a huge act of trust to hire a pet-sitter, and I’m determined to do everything possible to put your mind at ease! I’m available for weekdays and weekends! I’m off work for the next two months, meaning I have plenty of time to care for your pet :) I am happy to come to your space and work with your pet’s specific needs! I provide walks, feedings, play time, cuddles on the couch, or a quick drive-by to build trust.
“Carla is awesome, coming to the rescue with a last-minute cat visit when I had to leave town suddenly and giving them and my house the best care and me, peace of mind. I genuinely appreciate her flexibility and sweetness, and we would welcome her back anytime for future travels!”

About: I have always found myself surrounded with dogs of one kind or another and have loved each and every one from my own dear family dog, who we lost last year, or the puppy that I visit twice a week for family friends. I think that dogs, like people, have their own personalities and traits that make them unique and lovable in their own ways. You can get a doggo who is docile and sweet and only wants cuddles or you can have that crazy little thing that runs around like there is no tomorrow. I love to discover these quirks and tendencies of these four legged buddies and then develop a bond with them. I believe it is important to make a meaningful connection with your charges and from there you can really build a lasting relationship with the dogs. Every day is a little bit different but what is always the same is the level of care provided for your pet. The basics of breakfast, dinner, and pottying are all covered but I like to throw in some extra enrichment and fun so maybe your pet will get a trip to a coffee shop or the dog beach or maybe a pet friendly store. It really depends on what your pet might want on a particular day. Whatever it is, you’ll get tons of pictures and the occasional arts and crafts because it brings me joy 🤩 At my home, I have a large backyard that is fully fenced and the dogs get full range. The only portion they’re not invited into is my garden. I like to be the only one who does the watering there. Inside the pups get to hang out where they choose and if your dog needs a little quite space, I have a couple crates or baby gates that will help with that. Safety is the biggest priority though and cameras are in every room because I cannot be. I do my best to match dogs to other dogs they’re going to have a nice time with and also keep separate the ones that would prefer to have a closer knit circle of friends. Every animal is unique and I’d like them all to have an enjoyable time while they’re under my care
“Jules was amazing! We had several weeks out of town and were hesitant to board our cat for the time frame. Jules was easy to communicate with, flexible with scheduling times, and left great reports/photos that were fun to read when we were missing our Tabby. She also was kind enough to let Tabby enjoy some time outside when able (her favorite thing), and even bring in some packages that were delivered while we were gone. We felt very secure and were able to enjoy our time away knowing our home and pet were so well taken care of, I can't recommend her enough.”

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was 8 and spent a summer in high school raising my family’s new puppy. My family has had frenchies, a labradoodle, and a corgi/beagle mix I have experience with small dogs such as frenchies and larger dogs as well. I work full time, 8 AM - 5 PM. I also am a mom to an infant. I am available for drop ins, and for walking as needed. Although I do not offer services in my home, due to my cat being afraid of other animals, I will treat your home as my own. I am experienced with house sitting and take pride in making sure you never have to worry about anything while away.
“Serafina was kind and thoughtful through the whole process of booking and watching Sugar. I could trust her with my new puppy and felt informed through the whole process.”

About: Hi there! My name is Ireland, if you ever need someone to check in on your furry one during the day, I’d love to help. I’ve been the go‑to dog walker and pet‑check‑in person for neighbors for over 10 years, and caring for furry friends has genuinely become one of my favorite parts of life. I’m extremely reliable, consistent, and always treat every dog like they’re one of my own and trust me, mine set the bar high. I currently have two big, lovable goofballs at home: a Saint Bernedoodle and a Golden Doodle, both tipping the scales at over 100 pounds. So whether your pup is tiny, timid, energetic, or extra‑large, I’m fully prepared and experienced. If you’re looking for someone who shows up, pays attention, and makes your dog feel safe, happy, and loved, I’m your girl. Big dogs, small dogs, shy dogs, wild dogs - I walk them all like they’re my own. ❣️ I’m currently attending Cleveland State University’s Accelerated Nursing Program, and because the program is fully online, it gives me incredible flexibility throughout the day. I’m able to structure my coursework around your pet’s needs, which means I can reliably stop in for walks, check‑ins, feedings, or whatever support your family needs. Caring for animals fits naturally into my daily routine, and I love having that balance of studying and spending time with your furry one. When I’m caring for a pet whether in my home or yours my approach is simple: treat them like family and keep their routine steady, safe, and stress‑free. • Routine consistency - I follow your pet’s normal schedule for meals, walks, potty breaks, and playtime so everything feels familiar and comforting. • Detailed communication - You’ll get updates, photos, and notes so you always know how your furry one is doing. • Respect for your space - I keep your home tidy, follow all house rules, and make sure your pet’s environment stays clean and safe. • Behavior + comfort check‑ins - I pay attention to mood, appetite, energy, and any changes so you’re always in the loop. • Experience with large breeds I currently own two gentle giants a Saint Bernedoodle and a Goldendoodle, both over 100 lbs so I’m very comfortable managing big personalities and big paws. • Play, enrichment, and affection - Walks, mental stimulation, cuddles, and attention are all part of the package. • Cleanliness + comfort - Fresh water, clean bowls, cozy rest spots, and a calm environment are always maintained. Why You Can Trust Me: • 10+ years of experience caring for neighbors’ pets • Extremely reliable. I show up, communicate, and follow through. • Comfortable with all sizes — from tiny pups to 100+ lb doodles. • Genuine love for animals — I treat every pet like it’s my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Downtown
Caio was absolutely amazing. I cannot say enough good things about him! We moved and needed a new pet sitter and it was such a blessing that we found him. He took the best care of our 2 cats, one of which is elderly and had unexpected health issues while we were gone. Caio was gracious and kind about everything. He sent daily photos and updates and took care of things we never would have asked of him! He is probably the nicest person I've ever met and I would recommend him to anyone. He is the best.

Tyler was fantastic and we wood definitely book with him again! We appreciated the chance to speak with him through a pre-visit and introduce him to our pets. He was very communicative with us, and took great care to spend quality time with our pets during each visit. His photos brought smiles to our faces and allowed us to relax, knowing that our pets were receiving excellent care.

Victoria was great! I did a meet and great with her before I left on vacation and she immediately put me at ease. She is very personable and professional when it comes to cat sitting. She sent me pictures and updates everyday she stopped by. I highly recommend her.
