“Susan is amazing!!! She watched my cat for two weeks while we were away and it is wonderful to not worry about your pet. She always goes above and beyond.”

“Octavia saved us with a no-notice booking after one of our boys decided he would rather chase snowflakes instead of going "potty' before we had to leave for work lol. She was prompt with her response and was incredibly flexible. The boys also love her!”


About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds, including my own, since I could walk. I have a 2 year old lab and 14 year old lab, so I'm very good with both puppies and seniors! I'm currently working remote on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I'll have plenty of time to drop in and play. Once the school year starts, I'm a law student so I'll also have plenty of time outside of class! I can do whatever is needed to keep your pet safe and happy in your home, whether you have a fenced in yard or no yard at all.

About: **Serious Inquiries Only *** With over 10 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I have developed a deep understanding and passion for working with small dog breeds and puppies. Throughout my career, I’ve been dedicated to providing top-tier care for both puppies and adult small breeds, helping them thrive in loving, healthy environments. I have worked extensively with a variety of small dog breeds, including Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Yorkies, Shih Tzus, and Dachshunds. My experience spans everything from basic pet care and feeding to behavior management, training, and health monitoring. I specialize in the unique needs of small dogs, including their dietary requirements, exercise routines, and socialization skills. My approach is centered around building trust and positive relationships with the pets in my care. With puppies, I focus on early socialization, potty training, and establishing consistent routines to set them up for a well-adjusted adulthood. With adult small dogs, I work on maintaining good health, managing behavioral issues, and fostering strong bonds between pet and owner. I’m particularly passionate about understanding the individual personalities of each dog, ensuring they receive personalized care that meets their specific needs. My extensive background in pet care has allowed me to not only enhance the lives of the dogs I care for but also provide valuable advice and support to their owners, helping them navigate the joys and challenges of dog ownership. I am dedicated to provide my full attention to your pup throughout their entire stay! If it’s boarding or just a fun day at doggy day camp I can ensure your pup will have a great time! I have a fenced in back yard , plenty of toys and activities to keep your pup busy! My home has central air conditioning for hot summer days . I also have a small male shitzu to keep your pup company during their stay .

“Brittany was absolutely amazing with Love! My fur baby was recently diagnosed with kidney disease and I was able to go on vacation knowing that he would be able to get the subcutaneous fluids that he needed. She was very communicative, paid attention to detail, and was able to troubleshoot as things came up. Would absolutely have Brittany take care of Love again in the future.”


About: I have had dogs in my family since I was little and adopted a little tuxedo cat two years ago. I have worked for various humane societies and watched family and friends pets for the past 8 years. Happy to watch dogs or cats! I will be available full-time from June through early August, so pet care will be a central part of my daily routine. With a very flexible schedule, I’m able to prioritize each pet’s unique needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just providing companionship. I'm committed to giving pets consistent attention and care throughout the day and adapting to any specific routines they may already have. Since I’m not able to have pets in my apartment, I provide care in my clients' homes. I focus on maintaining the pet’s regular routine in a familiar environment, which helps reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication, or just spending quality time together. I also make sure to keep the home tidy and follow any specific instructions the owner provides.

About: Hello pet parent! 🐾 A bit about me - I had a family cat and dog for around 13 years total growing up. I helped feed, hydrate, walk, clean-up after, bathe, and play with both of them. I also assisted in taking them to the vet and giving them medication when necessary. Outside of my family pets, I have a summer’s worth of experience cat sitting for a family friend and a summer’s worth of experience volunteering for my hometown’s local humane society/animal shelter. Nowadays, the majority of my pet time is spent occasionally dog sitting for my brother and his wife. I’m comfortable with any size pet and am very active, so any pet energy-level works for me! I look forward to meeting you and your furry companions 😊 I am currently a full-time post-graduate student at the Cleveland Institute of Music. I have very flexible hours and I’m pretty available as of right now. I’m always happy to discuss how I can best accommodate your needs for pet care and pet sitting! I work best if clear instructions for pet care are provided before or upon arrival. I love all kinds of animals and I’m always gentle when meeting-and-greeting. If a pet has difficulty adjusting to new people, or general fears/anxieties, please let me know how I can best accommodate you and your pet’s needs.

About: I have not done dog sitting previously but I’m willing to learn. I can walk your dog, play with your dog and feed your dog. I’m currently working full-time but can spare some time in the evenings or on the weekends to take care of the pets, or even morning. I’m not able to care for pets in my home as I have my own cat and I’m in a small apartment that can’t accommodate.

“Alexis cared for my cats while I was out of town. One is particularly shy and nervous, and she came out with Alexis which I think says something! She was communicative and easy to plan with!”


“Kate looked after our two dogs while we were out of town recently. She stopped in multiple times (over multiple days) to walk, feed, and spend some time with them - and she sent plenty of pictures during her visits. This was our second time having Kate look after our dogs, and we definitely will again!”


“Lindsay is the best cat sitter. She has rolled with various changes to our schedule due to health issues with my cat and communicated quickly and kindly. Highly recommend!”


About: I am excited to start my adventure of pet care in Cleveland Heights! I’m new to the area, having lived in the middle of nowhere up until mid March 2025, I’m excited to get to know the area around where I live now and meet new client’s! My entire life my passion has been animals, in one way or another! From a very young age I was fascinated by helping injured wildlife, into my teens I started volunteering for various animal rescue organizations, walked dogs locally for the neighbors and started my own rescue endeavor dealing with reptiles, amphibians and birds – as well as anything I could do if it involved animals and caring for them. I currently run my own pet care service business outside of Rover. However, enjoy using Rover to fill in my schedule and allow me to further help clients in need of professional, compassionate and experienced care for their pets! I have over 20 years of professional pet care experience. From working in kennels, veterinary clinics, farms, studying animal behavior, dog training, dog walking, pet sitting, working in and managing daycare and boarding facilities as well as being active in animal rescue work with a few organizations and personally. I currently dedicate a lot of my free time to working with a 501c3 non-profit reptile rescue located in South Euclid. I strive to provide the best possible care for my client’s pets – when they’re under my car e, I treat them as I’d expect my own pets to be treated. I have experience with aggressive dogs, reactive dogs, all breeds, sizes and life stages. I have medication administration experience as well as nutritional experience so even if your pup or cat needs something slightly outside of the “norm”, I’ve got you covered! I also have experience with many exotic animal species such as raccoons, skunks, mini pigs and large parrot species. I have full time availability for all services I offer. I enjoy taking care of animals as if they're my own, and in my downtime I care for my pets and any foster animals I have. I pay the utmost attention to all clients under my supervision to ensure their safety, health and happiness. I have experience with large groups - up to as many as 20 dogs - under my direct supervision and am capable of monitoring even the most chaotic situation that can arise

About: I have experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. Starting with helping to take care of the family black lab from puppyhood through to old age, I moved on to petsitting for neighbors and friends who had dogs ranging from chihuahua to bull mastiff and everything in between. The safety and wellbeing of your dog is my number one priority, along with making sure that they get the fun and exercise they need daily. I treat every dog I meet the same way I would want a member of my family treated: with love and respect. In addition to dogs and cats, I also have experience with small mammals, fish, and reptiles so if you have any animals beyond your larger furry friends, I will likely be able to care for them as well. Despite working full-time, I still have plenty of flexibility to care for your animals. With working a regular and dependable M-F schedule, I have early mornings and evenings free every day and, location-dependent, can make midday lunchtime visits as well. You can feel comfortable knowing that your friend is never lonely and I always make up for longer time between visits with love and cuddles. In your home, I strive to keep your dog's routine as close as possible to what they are used to. With the anxiety they may feel not having you around, keeping what is comfortable and familiar is something I strive for to reduce some of that potential anxiety. In addition to keeping any existing routine, I love to take long walks, or whatever the dog can handle, as well as some at-home play. I also make it a point to always keep your home how you left it and clean up as needed.

About: MAGA? I am not the Rover for you. I have provided care to other people's pets for over 35 years. My experience includes dogs, cats, birds, fish, lizards, goats, and horses; often, this was for multiple-night stays when clients traveled for work or vacation. Back in Colorado, clients recommended me to their friends and coworkers to the point I sometimes had to decline a job so I was not double-booked. I have experience in providing medication to pets orally via pill and syringe, as well as via injection in the scruff of their neck. Sadly, with their consent, I took a client's dog for euthanasia while they were on vacation out of state. I have also had the pleasure of caring for a litter of newborn Huskies, one of whom spent 14 years with me. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️✊🏾 I am currently not working and actively seeking a job, now that we are settled in. I will always communicate with you about any changes that may affect my availability. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈✊🏾 We have a small, fenced yard. We live in a quiet neighborhood where people walk their dogs on leash, so your fur baby will get exercise and stim. We also like to visit off-leash dog parks.

About: I have primarily cared for dogs, cats, fish, and the occasional hamster. I have had dogs and cats in my life since I was born, from rottweilers to kittens I want to give your animals the love and attention they deserve while you are gone! I am available to check in on animals while you are at work or hang out with them while you are away for the weekend! I live on the first floor in a condo with a grassy area next to it. I would walk your dog with a leash since my yard is not fenced in.

“Kai'Lee is wonderful!! Super friendly, on top of it, punctual, dependable and provided excellent care and support for our dog while we were away! We definitely recommend and would love to work with her again.”
