“Lori was so fantastic to have in my home and she did an amazing job with my puppy! It was incredible to get some time to go to an appointment and run errands while knowing my puppy was safe and having a good time. Lori sent updates and photos so I wouldn't be worried. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“We cannot put into words how grateful we are for Kaitlyn and her kind heart. While we were away our Oscar took a turn for the worst and Kaitlyn graciously took on the burden of taking him in to be evaluated. She stayed in constant communication with us and when we were told there was nothing else to be done, she face timed with us and allowed us to say our goodbyes. We could never thank her enough for what she did for us. We hope to have her watch our other two in the future.”
“Sarah was great and took really good care of Petey. She watched Petey for 4 days and made sure he had plenty of love and attention. Sarah watched Petey in our home and was very respectful of our things and to our neighbors. I highly recommend her services and would definitely hire her again.”
“Konnie was an absolute joy to have watching our baby girl. I got lots of super cute and creative photos and updates and knew she was in great hands the entire weekend. I will definitely be having Konnie back to take care of our pup and loved how attentive she was the entire time. If you're looking for a rover - Konnie is your gal! Thanks again for everything!!!”

“I am so happy to have found Julia! She clicked immediately with my dog. She followed all of my instructions, but better than that, she treated my dog with loving care. She even washed up his dinner dishes! My cats were well taken care of as well. Julia will always be my go-to sitter.”

About: I love Gods creatures, great and small. I am a lover of unconditional 4 legged of love! I will treat your fur family as if they were my own- unconditionally and with care! I do work a part time job, but officially retired, I love to walk, I look forward to being motivated and sharing the joy of it! I have flexibility and mobility. I can also stay in your pets comfortable environment, to make sure they have comfort and care well with them. I would favor allowing your fur family to remain in their comfortable environment rather than stressing them in my home. I am available to come to serve you and them.

About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish, and I treat every pet like part of the family. I'm attentive to each animal’s unique needs and have a calm, gentle approach—whether it’s playing with an energetic pup or giving extra care to a senior pet. I’m also reliable, patient, and happy to follow any special routines or instructions to help your pet feel safe and loved. I teach ESL online, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to work from anywhere. That means I can stay at your home and be present throughout the day to care for your pet—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m able to build my routine around your pet’s needs. I offer in-home pet sitting, which means I can stay at your home to provide consistent care and companionship while you’re away. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own familiar environment.
“Monica did a great job with our seven month old Great Dane. She cared for her while we were out of town for the week. We got regular updates, she remained in contact throughout the week, and provided great one on one time with our puppy.”
About: With 15+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, I provide loving, dependable pet sitting tailored to each animal’s personality and needs. From energetic pups to shy kitties, I treat every pet like my own—because they deserve nothing less. I’m a clear and thoughtful communicator. I keep pet parents informed and reassured with regular updates and check-ins. I currently work from home, so I’m very flexible with morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Let me know your schedule, and I’ll be there. Looking forward to meeting your pet! Although I don’t offer my in-home services, I am able to drop in on pets at client homes! I can easily follow feeding schedules and routines to make your pet feel safe and comfortable while you’re away!
About: My Fiancé and I foster dogs, we've recently adopted a Jack Russell mix that we became attached to. My other experience was with our family Golden Retriever and going every week to visit the dogs at our local shelter. I'm looking for a job to supplement my current job as a Dental Assistant. Hopefully I can sit or walk once or twice a week if that is all possible. I have a but friend Jack Russell mix who loves people and other dogs, she does zooms in the fenced in yard and has his own secure space downstairs if necessary.
About: My senior dog passed away recently and I’m looking for pups to care for until I decide on my next fur baby. I am a hiker and constantly in the woods so if your dog likes walks, I’m your gal! I’m skilled in emergency care and can administer medications. I am a medical professional and my schedule is flexible. I’m willing and able to spend the extra time and love your doggos (but I’m not prejudiced to just dog love!) because all creatures deserve kindness and respect. I have experience dispensing medications and caring for animals with anxiety. Please consider asking me to care for your dog/cat, I will treat them as if they were my own. -Sam I am a remote worker and am able to spend ample time with your animal! Walks are typically 30 minutes minimum, unless otherwise requested. I hike daily and I’m always looking for a hiking companion. Your dog will be able to roam freely in my home (unless otherwise requested). If I’m away, I will likely crate your dog unless they are potty trained and have house manners.

Melissa W.
“Missy is the kind of sitter every pet parent hopes to find. From our first meet-and-greet, she connected instantly with our two spirited miniature schnauzer boys, Franklin and Benjamin, and treated them as if they were her own. While we were away, Missy sent thoughtful updates and photos that captured their personalities—whether they were chasing squeaky toys or curled up for afternoon naps—so we never had to wonder how they were doing. Beyond the sweet snapshots, Missy’s professionalism shone through in every detail: prompt communication, meticulous adherence to their feeding and walking routines, and a spotless home when we returned. If you’re looking for peace of mind and pups who come home happy, tired, and thoroughly loved, book Missy. Five stars simply don’t feel like enough.”

Fairlawn Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lela was a wonderful pet/house sitter. Reliable, punctual, and extra communicative. She sent us daily pics of our boys and they were definitely smitten with her. We will be scheduling her again on our next trip!!!
Kaitlyn watched my dog for a weekend. She was very attentive and quick to communicate. I have a dog with high energy and she was very understanding and quick to problem solve. I felt comfortable and trusting that she was taking care of my dog. She is very good about texting and updating with pictures. I would 100% rebook with her!!
William was just terrific. He spent some time with me before our trip, and I enjoyed getting to know him. He took wonderful care of our dogs, one of whom had some special needs, and communicated with us a few times a day while we were gone. They were in excellent spirits when we returned, even the sick one. We'd book him again in a minute.
Mackenzie is always responsive and a great caretaker for my two pups. She sends photos and updates and makes me feel like they're in the best hands. I'll happily reach out to Mackenzie again and again!
I had to request an extension to a house sitting request for my 2 dogs on short notice, and Monica was so helpful in checking her availability quickly and also verifying that her availability met my needs timing-wise for my dogs' meals and breaks. My one dog is older (13) and other is younger (3) so their needs are quite different, but Monica was so accommodating and made sure both my dogs were comfortable and happy! Really appreciate all the ways Monica went above and beyond caring for my dogs and house, it made such a difference!
