Daniel was fantastic! He was very communicative throughout the entire booking process and made us feel comfortable from the start. He took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand, which we really appreciated. Sunny and Nala were very well cared for, and the updates and photos he sent while we were away were great. We loved seeing how they were doing and knowing they were in good hands. Daniel was professional, kind, and reliable. We would highly recommend him and would absolutely book with him again!

About: Hi! My name is Ebony, and I’m a college student pursuing a degree in Veterinary Technology. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and currently have a dog of my own, so caring for animals isn’t just a job… it’s my passion. With my background, I’m comfortable administering oral medications, recognizing changes in behavior, and responding appropriately in emergency situations. Cleanliness and organization are very important to me, and I always make sure your home and your pet’s space are left tidy. I am more than happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you always know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. ❤️ While I attend school full-time , my availability outside of classes is fully dedicated to your pet’s care. I currently offer in-home sitting and walking services so your pet can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their daily routine. I understand how important patience, consistency, and compassion are when it comes to building trust with both pets and their owners. I strictly follow all provided feeding schedules, dietary needs, medication instructions, and routines to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their own home. Thank you for considering me as your sitter ❣️

Janet did a wonderful job watching my cat Billie. Her daily reports were excellent, full of information about the time she spent with Billie and the tasks she performed. Each day she also shared several adorable photos. Having Janet watch Billie put my mind at ease while I was out of town. I'm so glad she was available. I recommend her services to anyone looking for a sitter or walker. Thank you so much Janet.

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.

About: I’d love to help out all fellow pet owners! I currently have 3 dogs and one cat who I love dearly, so I’m pretty familiar with pet care. I’d love to share my love for animals and sit your own furry friends. I’m good with puppies, kittens, and senior care. I have one senior dog myself and two dogs who are 3 years old and a 1 and a half year old cat. I’m currently a college student with plenty of time to spend with your furry friends. My schedule is very flexible so I’m willing to watch your pets whenever needed!! I can easily provide any sort of care needed for your pet. Feeding, walking, crating, giving them some love are all easy for me to do. The only experience I don’t have is giving any sort of medication to pets.

About: I think what sets me apart is that I truly care about animals and pay attention to the little details that keep them happy and comfortable. I’ve cared for homes with multiple pets, including cats and dogs together, and I’m comfortable sticking to feeding schedules, playtime, different personalities and administering medication on time when needed. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine since I already take care of my own 8-month-old cat every day. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so making time for feeding, playtime, cleaning litter boxes, walks, and giving pets attention is something I’m happy to do. As well as taking walks going to parks and playing gives consumes my usual workout time so filling it with hyper hounds is a bonus! I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I stick to their normal routines, keep their spaces clean, make sure they’re fed and hydrated, and give them lots of attention and playtime. I’m also comfortable giving medications on schedule when needed and caring for multiple pets at once.

About: I am a current student at the Ohio State university as an animal science and vet technician student. I have always had a passion for taking care of animals and ensure to extend the same care that I have for the animals I treat with your pets! I have worked with small companion animals numerous times as well as large animals so my skills are varied to work with changing circumstances! I also have experience with working with older dogs as I had an older dog for a long time. I am college student attending summer classes so I do have a time confinement in the mornings of some weekdays but I am free for weekends, afternoons, and evenings! A flexible schedule that can work for everyone and ensure comfort for your pet! I have a small unfenced front and backyard in a small, quiet neighborhood. I do not have any other animals in my home so I will ensure the comfortability and safety of your dog(s). I can easily crate your dog if needed as well.

Takia has been absolutely amazing! She checked in on my dog for 5 days and always sent multiple photos daily with paragraph updates. My dog needed oral meds daily and she was able to give with no issue at all! She even added cuddles with my pup as a cherry on top! Thank you Takia for the kind loving care towards my best friend. We will definitely be returning customers 🐶❤️

About: I love animals, I’ve had animals in my home all my life; dogs, cats, snakes, reptiles, fish, you name it. I have always felt close to the world so I connect very well with all animals. I’ve had plenty of experience with dogs and cats as well. I’ve taken dogs I’ve just met on private walks and trained them. I also enjoy grooming, the first thing i do when I welcome a new friend is wash them—I enjoy connecting with them and having them nice and clean in my home! I have a one floor home and when I’m pet sitting they are allowed to roam freely. They are allowed on the furniture I dont mind it. Bathroom breaks are every 3-4 hours I love to have a buddy to walk with. I do sit lessons and stay lessons throughout the day with treats for encouragement! Besides that—whatever you want I will do, just let me know. New customers welcome! Promo: https://www.rover.com/sit/aaliys65179 Im a stay at home mom mostly but I have a client I see outside the home part-time until May 28th so I am up from 6am-10pm. I enjoy doing outside activities and I like having a buddy with me. I have a fenced backyard and I just enjoy having a buddy with me walking by my side in my home. I have an open concept home, I like to enjoy relaxing with buddies on the couch but if they prefer outside I am all for it being a consistent option every other hour. Ensures they get fun exercise, a distraction from the fact their family isn’t near, and bathroom breaks freely.

About: I’ve taken care of a German Shepherd named Kylo for the past 2 years. I recently stopped due to the owner being able to stay home with him full time. I used to house/dog sit, walk, and help with general care including baths, nail trimming, and very very basic trims. I work 3rd shift Monday-Friday. So I will be available between noon-6:00 PM on those days. I am available between 9AM-5PM on Saturday’s and 9AM-2:00PM on Sundays. I will care in anyway needed. I can provide companion, physical and mental stimulation to your dog, make sure they are fed and hydrated, walked and taken to go potty, along with any other basic task you may want complete.

Kendra did a great job taking care of our cats. And she stepped up to do it at the last minute since we had to leave town for a funeral. She was very pleasant and when we came home to collect the keys from her, the cats were there to greet her. Would recommend for anyone who needs a pet sitter. She loves animals.
