About: I have a miniature schnauzer who I trained and raised from a puppy. I’m looking to gain more experience with all kinds of dogs. I am very interested in fostering later in life and I am missing my pup while I’m away at school. I know life can be hectic so I am excited to help anyone out a little and meet some new pets in my free time! I am in school to earn my associates. This fall I have most of my classes at night. My only busy day is Saturday, where I have a class from 10a-2p, so for the most part, I am available and looking to fill that time with some furry friends! Please feel free to reach out!! I know every pet is different and needs different things. I am very flexible and happy to cater to different situations as they come. I enjoy walking and exercising so I am happy to do long and short walks, parks and more. I have an anxious dog myself so I understand some pets need a little space when meeting new people and new environments. I’m looking to give your pets the best experiences possible and listen to any instructions you may have for them.

“Archna did great with my pups (11yo lab and 1yo aussie mix). I usually board the dogs at our vet, but they were full over Christmas. I think they were much more comfortable with Archna. They got personalized attention, and she sent updates/ pictures thru the week. I would use Archna again!”
“Mary took great care of Duke! She was lovely to speak with, sent adorable updates, and asked thoughtful questions about his care. Duke warmed up to her immediately and had a great time at her home. We would love for Mary to watch Duke again!”
“Phillis and Mike did an amazing job. Always sending pictures and videos of our Ellie a 1 year old Golden Retriever. I would highly recommend them to anyone. We definitely will be back again. Thanks you very much”
“Freddie had another great stay with Alex! Alex always makes us feel at ease leaving our pup with him by sending videos and photos every day. Freddie loves playing with Zana and Cocoa, and is always happy to see them all when we pull up. Thanks for having fun with Freddie this week, Alex!”
“Renee and Mark are dog lovers, and made Lola very comfortable during her stay. I appreciated the pupdates and pictures to let me know my baby girl was being well taken care of. Lola will definitely be back! Thanks again :)”
“Frank was a great dog sitter for Stella. He sent me daily pictures and updates and let me know how she was doing. He clearly cared about her comfort and safety. She loved his back yard where she could run and play. Frank is just a few minutes from the airport for those traveling by air out of Cleveland-Hopkins. We had a great experience with Frank and his friendly dog Oreo and will definitely use him again! Thanks Frank!”
“Trish is outstanding. Our pup is a shy girl and she warmed up to Trish instantly !! She made sure Lulu was comfortable for her stay and sent us updates on how she was doing. Couldn’t ask for a better person to care for our pup. We already schedule her next stay !”
“Our pups had amazing time! Makenzie was so helpful through our experience and loved the pups up. We were impressed by her quick communication and willingness to send pics and updates. Can’t wait to book again!”
“Shelby and her husband were great! I felt very safe leaving my anxious mini goldendoodle with her knowing he was in great hands. She sent pictures and updates. Exceeded expectations ?”
About: I have been dog sitting for many, many years. My very well trained Labrador Retriever loves to have sleepovers and play dates with dog friends. I currently work from my home on Monday and Friday. I am 15 minutes from home on Tuesday,Wednesday and Thursday. So I will be able to come home for lunch and let your fur baby out. I can board on weekends as well. I have a large fenced in back yard and a friendly lab to play with your fur baby. I can crate if your dog if needed.
“Rosie’s third time staying and couldn’t be happier! Love the photos we get and so comforting knowing she’s in good hands! Highly recommend would give 10 stars if we could!”
“As usual, Dianne was very accommodating. Opie loves it when we get to her house & he runs inside like it’s his second home. That says it all for me. She makes it much easier for us to be away from our “baby”.”
“Desire was a fantastic sitter for my dog Cinna! She checked in multiple times each day with pictures & videos. She responded almost immediately every time we talked. She was incredibly helpful & friendly & made my time away even more enjoyable knowing Cinna was being cared for so well.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elyria
Lindsey was incredible. I was nervous to leave my dog with someone last-minute after our family was unable to watch her. There were zero worries to have. She treated her as we would, and Ellie loved being there. We received frequent updates and pictures throughout the stay. 10/10, would absolutely book again when needed!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
