“Jackie was utterly wonderful with our dog River. Great communication and scheduling was a breeze. I already have her booked for another session. You would do well to contact Jackie about your pooch!”


“Amy was absolutely fantastic with my three cats while we were away for over a week. She was always on time, sent great pictures, was communicative, played with them each visit and really knew their personalities a few days in! I made a mistake with my dates and realized I would be back the day after I intended and Amy was exceptionally flexible with date changes and took care of my babies an extra day, which I’m so grateful for. We came home to three well fed, taken care of, happy and playful cats! Highly recommend Amy to take care of your furry babies!”


“Awesome job with my furry troublemakers! Were very communicative leading up to and during the booked time. Definitely recommend to anyone who needs their furballs looked after.”


“Emily take the time to meet me before hand and ask questions on exactly what I wanted for a Rufus. I could tell she cared a lot and made an effort to make sure all my requests were met. She sent pictures and it looks like my dog loved his walk! Thanks Emily!”


“Dana did an excellent job with our dogs, as always. One of our dogs is 16 years old and frail. We are always confident when Dana watches our dogs that they will get great care.”


“Mary is great. I’ve really enjoyed her updates on how my kitten is doing while I’m away. I get a text and pictures with each visit. Very comforting to know my kitten is in good, caring hands. 😃”

Whether you’re heading to work, out for the day, or away for the weekend, I’m here to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. While I may not have years of formal pet sitting experience, I bring years of hands on experience as a pet parent to two golden retrievers - one full of energy, and one a senior with special care needs. I’ve also frequently cared for friends and neighbors pets, providing everything from walks, playtime, and medication support.

Your pet will also receive plenty of positive attention and I will take care of any other details we discuss so you know that your pet is safe and happy when you are away.

“Octavia was amazing with our dogs! She sent photos and kept me updated every time she visited. We are always nervous to leave our dogs when going out of town but Octavia always made me feel that they were being taking care of with tons of love. I strongly recommend her!!”


About: Hey there, I'm Emily! I've been around dogs since I was little, they've been in my family and I even trained our new puppy when I was in high school. I’ve volunteered in an animal shelter for 4 years. I’ve taken animal science classes and have learned animal CPR. I also know how to take care of reptiles as I have a few of my own! I also have experience with small mammals such as rabbits, ferrets, sugar gliders, mice, rats and more. Clients can count on me to feed, play with, and be attentive to your pets needs. I currently have a part-time job, so I have more time to look after your pet companions! I am available during the day Mon-Wed, and anytime after 6pm Thurs-Saturday. I have enough energy to play with your dog or cat! I have patience if they are skittish or need a little extra time near strangers. And if your pet companion has scales, I can feed them when they need it and look after its well being and needs.

About: I've had multiple cats over the years, including cats with medical needs and high anxiety and understand how to take care of animals that may have special needs. I have trained my own dog to be a service dog and learned a lot about training dogs and dog care through the process. My pets are my world and I spend my mornings taking my dog out for a bike ride and feeding my cat. I am usually home during the day to provide company , play & enrichment. At night, I train my dog for a couple hours and give her mental enrichment. If I take care of your dog, I will be sure to take them out on runs or walks and provide plenty of mental enrichment. In my house, I have one friendly dog and cat to keep your animal company. I have a spare crate if needed but am happy to keep your dog free when I am home as long as they are house trained. They will be crated or separated for meal time so as to not cause fights or if there is conflict between two dogs.

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: I've owned pets since I was a toddler. I'm currently a cat, dog, and bearded dragon owner. I’m an animal lover! I specialize in caring for rescues and abused animals. I also walk and board dogs using the Wag app. I'm a self-employed single parent and entrepreneur. I create my own schedule, so I'm very flexible. I'm available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding your pet/s. I live in a huge single family home with plenty of space. I live close a metro park, so that is where I mostly walk my pet clients. I'm a local handy woman, but prefer caring for animals from the comfort of my home. I have a huge single family home with hardwood floors and also own a few crates to keep multiple boarders separated and safe if necessary. I’m currently available for full-time boardings, sittings, drop-ins, and walks. Taking care of animals and pets brings me great joy and I’m happy to be of service. I have a huge single family home and two fur babies to keep your pet company. I can easily crate your pet when necessary. Pets are supervised 24 hours a day.

“This was our first time using Rover and Alexis put us totally at ease leaving our cat in her care. Alexis was kind enough to stop by a few days before to meet us and our cat. Our skittish former-street cat took to her immediately, curled up with her, and Alexis was great at not only feeding her, but providing companionship a lnd many pets/scratches. She sent great Rover Cards and sweet photos. I would 100% use her again!!”


“Anya is a God send. I work 2nd shift and really need someone to give my Blue that 2nd walk of the day. She is caring and thoughtful and very much appreciated by us both!!!”


“Audrey was amazing with my fur baby, Miley! She was so kind and patient. She took lots of photos and always communicated well during my trip away. I’m so thankful for Audrey’s help with Miley!”


About: I’ve helped take care of and train dogs of various sorts and sizes since I can walk along with my dad. I’ve gotten my love for animals as a whole from him and it’s the perfect therapy and job. Having many dogs, cats, birds, turtles, fish and pet crabs throughout my life has helped me to have an extra sense of care, love, and attention for all animals. I’m currently working part-time, so I’m available to play, train, and care for your lovable furry friend 7 days a week from 8am to 2pm and 9pm to 12am. I have a fenced front yard and backyard for your lovely pets to freely roam and play with me. I also have a 7 year old Shih Tzu and a 2 year old cat (both females) whom are very loving, calm, and ecstatic to meet a new friend. A crate is available upon request as well.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was about 6. I’ve grown up with both small and large dogs, specifically Golden Retrievers, Labs, and Boston Terriers. I have cared for my dogs as well as other other people’s. Hi! I’m Sydney! I am a law student at Case Western and am living in Little Italy. I love going on walks and would love to walk dogs as part of my daily routine. My weekends are relatively quiet, making me a good fit for in home dog care! I will care for pets according to instructions, including frequent potty breaks, walks, and play time as needed. I am able to provide medicine as well as specific food requests if necessary.

About: Hello, my name is Shari and I love taking care of pets! I have a lot of experience petsitting for both dogs, cats, rodents and reptiles. I grew up in a house with a lot of pets. Right now I help take care of my family's pets (they have one dog and two cats). Their previous dog, Max (sadly passed away three years ago) suffered from epilepsy and I've personally helped him calm down during his seizures. My friend, Dr. Rebecca Lazarus who is a veterinarian at Westpark Animal Hospital trusts me to watch her pets while she is out of town. She and her partner currently have five cats, four dogs, three pet rats, and a leopard gecko. Her pets require different medications and special foods which requires a lot of supervision and making sure everyone finishes their meals and takes their medicine. I am happy to provide a number of references if you would like! I would also prefer to schedule a meet-and-greet so we can talk more about any specialized needs required for your pet, and so that you and your pet can get to know me as well! I have a very flexible schedule, I do freelance illustration and other gig work so I am able to make my own schedule quite easily. I will never let a dog off their leash while going on walks, I will always make sure to feed them and provide fresh water daily. I will make sure they get plenty of play time and all the attention they deserve. I will ask questions about anything I’m unsure of. I will also never double book appointments, I only take one job at a time so I can give your pet all the attention they need.

Emily G.
“Emily and i volunteered together at a high-traffic animal shelter for several years. She was fantastic with dogs of all shapes and sizes. She was able to handle anxious ones, calm ones, high-energy, seniors, puppies, instinctively knowing what each needed within a few minutes of meeting them. She was especially good at calming them; in a high-stress environment such as a shelter, it is easy for a dog to demonstrate anxiety very quickly, but Em was able to ease their fears and work with them all. She is also very good with cats; her neighborhood cats know they can come to her for a greeting and, if needed, a snack or a bandage.”


Nechama S.
“Nechama is a very dedicated and thoughtful caretaker of animals. She has a way of being in tune with an animal to adjust her approach based on a particular animals personality. I've seen her interact with a few different pets of mine over the years. The ones that were bold and always testing the limits and the ones that were more timid and fearful both loved her. She has the patience of a saint.”

Shari R.
“Shari has been my go to pet sitter for 3 years now. She’s great with my very needy kids ( 3 cats and a dog), and she’s very reliable. Being a Veterinarian, it’s hard to find someone I trust, but I’ve never questioned Shari’s skills and commitment to my pets!”
Forest Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
Rori was great, she gave our kitty Ramen lots of love and cuddles while we were out of town on a long vacation. Ramens food and water were always full and the litter box was clean. She helped with small thing like bringing mail and packages in so that we weren't over run upon our arrival! We will definitely higher Rori again in the future if our trips align.
