“Avery was so sweet with our two cats and took fantastic care of them! She sent us the nicest notes as well and we felt so happy knowing they were getting such great care.”

“Angela was fantastic! She came over to meet us and our pets and exchange information prior to our weekend away. She followed our directions, spent quality time with our pets, gave lots of feedback (which is really important to us) and photos, and left the house in good condition. We will definitely be using her services again. Can't say enough good things about our experience!”

“Diane did a fantastic job with our dog, Maggie, even when Maggie had a tough first day being crated and shredded her bed. Will definitely hire Diane again. Easy to communicate with and took great care of our pooch.”

“Em did a great job with my old lady fur baby today. I made a request so late and Em was able to come for a meet and greet so quickly and take care of Stella at very short notice.”


About: I’ve had dogs since forever, I love mine more than anything. My experiences dog sitting and cat sitting range from my neighbors and family to taking care of animals on my uncles farm. I love meeting people’s pets so it would be my pleasure to meet more!! My dog Ruby is 15 years old and I love her to death, I can’t imagine her being alone all day. I go to college full time at Cleveland State University. I do play in multiple orchestras as well, but although I’m busy I have time in between classes and in the afternoons/evenings that I struggle to fill! I would love to have a slow morning taking care of a pet, or going on a walk, so I am very flexible. I understand that all pets have their own personality, and honestly the best way to take care of them relies on me getting to know them. The quirks about pets are my favorite thing about them, and I am willing to work with any needs they have. I love spending time with any animal and making sure they feel loved and entertained.
“Elinor was amazing! She just love cats! The way she connected with our boys was just impressive! They loved her since the first day!! For us it was a relief, knowing that they liked her! Every time she played with them, gave a lot of pets!! That makes a difference. And she took care of my plants and tomatoes :) I wont hesitate to book with her again! Cause I know that our boys will be in good hands!!!! I only have good things to say about her!!! I appreciate all she has done while we were gone on vacations!”

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love. I’ve pet sat for neighbors, friends, and family, caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart is that I’m also a registered nurse. My career has made me compassionate, dependable, detail-oriented, and attentive to changes in behavior or health. I have a natural instinct for noticing when something doesn’t seem quite right, and I always prioritize safety and communication. I understand that pets are family, and I promise to treat yours with the same love, patience, and care I would give my own. I currently work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the pets I care for. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, keeping them active, sticking to their routine, or simply giving them companionship throughout the day, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Since I live in the city, I don’t have a fenced yard, but that doesn’t stop my dog from getting plenty of exercise and attention! I have one dog of my own and also frequently care for my neighbor’s dog. We go on regular walks throughout the day, visit nearby grassy areas for bathroom breaks, and enjoy trips to the park just up the street for extra exercise and playtime. I also have a crate available if your dog is crate trained or if you’d like them crated for rest, bedtime, or while I’m briefly away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and, of course, lots of love and attention. My goal is to help every pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their family is away.

“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.”


“Jackie is great! She has watched our animals a few times and always done a great job. She has great communication and always sends us a photo. Would absolutely recommend her services”

“Sydney and James were both so wonderful and took excellent care of our cats while we were out. They went above and beyond in their services and sent excellent pictures. We will certainly be using them again”

About: I have been house and petsitting for friends, family, and clients for over 15 years. I value stimulation as well as emotional support for all people and animals. I have a lot of energy and will probably out run or play any of your pets! I am a pre-med student and will be house and pet-sitting for extra income. I am going to school in the Cleveland area and am available for walks/potty breaks in-between my classes. I treat all pets as the family-members they are. I have been trusted to house and pet sit for a variety of clients over the years, and I believe quality speaks for itself. I am very respectful of all homes (including my own) and understand that pet-sitting is more than just pouring food and water. Stimulation, exercise, and companionship is an essential need for every living organism.
“Octavia was lovely! Super communicative, professional, and my dog loved her immediately. I’ll definitely rebook & would recommend her for anyone that has a large breed or leash-reactive dog!”

“Alexis made a personal visit to meet my cats ahead of time. They connected with her immediately, and they were also calm and relaxed when I got home. They clearly felt safe in her care, and I will definitely try to book her in the future.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, raising and training my Yorkie, Remy, until his passing at 14, and my XL Bully, Zebo, for the past 11 years. Since joining Rover in 2021, I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. Young, senior, hyperactive, and socially reserved. I provide frequent walks, playtime, and even baths to ensure pups are happy, healthy, and cared for like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. As a lifelong dog owner, I start my mornings with walks and playtime to ensure pups get their energy out. Throughout the day, I dedicate time to feeding, cuddling, and engaging with each dog based on their needs. Whether that’s quiet companionship or active play. Evenings are for winding down with more walks and care, ensuring every pet feels loved and attended to as part of my family. In my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel like part of the family. I provide frequent walks, designated playtime, and cozy spaces to relax. Pets receive plenty of love, attention, and care throughout the day, with routines tailored to their specific needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I ensure their routines remain consistent. From feeding schedules and walks to playtime and cuddles, I provide attentive care while keeping their environment clean, familiar, and stress-free. Whether in my home or theirs, pets are my priority, and I treat them as if they were my own.
“Olivia is professional and reliable. She provided out cats and dogs with great care. We appreciated the way she communicated and was able to help us out with almost zero notice. 5 stars!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairfax
Where do I even begin? We have a 20-year-old senior cat, and we had never trusted anyone else to care for him before. Leaving him was something I was incredibly anxious about, but Alexis made the entire experience so much easier. She was so patient, kind, and gentle with our sweet senior boy. She did an amazing job giving him his medications and always kept me updated after each visit with thoughtful messages and pictures. Honestly, I don’t know who she comforted more—me or my cat! I’m forever grateful for the love and care she gave him while we were away. Knowing he was in such capable, compassionate hands gave me such peace of mind. I’ll admit I’m a bit of a nervous Nelly and very particular, especially when it comes to my cat. Alexis followed every one of my detailed instructions, little tips, and routines without hesitation, and she made me feel completely at ease. I truly can’t recommend Alexis enough. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet as if they were her own, she’s the one. Thank you, Alexis, for taking such wonderful care of our boy. It meant more to us than you’ll ever know.

Jimena is great! When I first met her for the meet and greet, I knew immediately that I could trust her to provide my 3 dogs and 1 cat with the best possible care over the next four days (while I was out of town). Over those 4 days, whenever she had a question, she did not hesitate to ask. She also provided me with updates, including pics, after every visit. When I arrived back, everything was very clean and orderly. No complaints whatsoever. Will definitely ask her back the next time I have to travel.
