“Absolutely Amazing!! My dog is a little awkward and shy when it comes to other dogs and people when we’re at dog parks and boarding but Pam and Marshall make him feel so relaxed and at home. It truly makes going out of town so much easier and fills your heart with so much happiness when you see from the photos and the messages for updates that your precious pup is cuddling with them or running around with the other dogs from daycare playing and having a great time. Thank you so much Pamela and Marshall for not just watching Arthur this last week but making him feel loved and cared for and seen. You made it very easy and stress free for a worry wart like me and my dog.”

“Lillian was so wonderful! She sent detailed reports and lots of photos. She took Rawlings on so many adventures and was very patient with his quirks. We will definitely work with Lillian again!”

“I never have to worry about my dog when she is with Kimberly. She’s great about sending pictures and videos so that I can see how my dog is doing. My dog has never looked stressed in any of the pictures at Kimberly’s, and that is unusual for my tender hearted dog! I will continue using Kimberly as long as she’s available!!”

“Alayna and Adam deserve a 10 star review. They met the needs of our dogs, they followed instructions provided, kept the dogs engaged and stimulated. Dogs were perfect little angels and never showed distress as they were made to feel at home during their stay. Great communcation via messages, videos and pictures. They shared any concerns they observed during the stay and checked in to make sure it was normal behavior and one of our dogs health was okay. They were amazing and accomodating. Their house is clean!! I can't say enough things about them! Will definitely book them again!”

“Hayley did a great job taking care of my dog. She kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout his stay. Not only was she great with my pet, but also did an amazing job communicating with me especially being flexible when I needed some help. I would love her to take care of my dog again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since l was 10, with friends, family, and neighbors asking for pet care since l remember. I always enjoy spending time with furry loved ones. I care for two of my own dogs so it’s an everyday routine for me to care and check in on them when I do have to leave the house. I don’t have a job that requires me to be on site all the time so it’s perfect for my dogs schedule now that I have more time to be around them. At home I watch my dogs everyday, they are well trained so I don’t have to be super vigilant on them because I know them won’t leave the yard. They are fed twice a day and I try to walk them everyday. As for a clients home it depends on their schedule and how they care for their dog, but whatever their dogs needs are I will provide the service of fulfilling it.
About: My name is Ivette and I currently study at Case. My husband is a USPS mail carrier and I work from home. Currently, I have one dog and two rescue cats🐾. During the pandemic, I spent a significant amount of time with my pets indoors where I had the opportunity to take care of two litters that my dogs had. I learned many skills during that time. With age, my dog became a senior dog and had to take oral medication so I am used to giving oral/topical medication to pets. I have been living in the Cleveland area since 2019 but I am originally from Texas. My current home has a fenced back yard and a good route for walks. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.
“Aspen was amazing with Natty. She gave tons of updates and took lots of pictures. I could tell my dog felt completely safe, comfortable, and loved in her care.”


About: For the past four years, I’ve been actively involved in running a busy in-home dog boarding and daycare business through Rover. While my former partner handled most of the client communication and scheduling, I was heavily involved in the day-to-day care of the dogs and was responsible for making sure they were safe, happy, exercised, and well cared for throughout their stay. I regularly cared for multiple dogs at a time, including dogs staying with us 24/7. My responsibilities included taking dogs outside every 1–2 hours, supervising playtime and group interactions, providing exercise and enrichment, cleaning up after them, and paying close attention to their individual personalities and behaviors. Over the years, I’ve learned a great deal about dog behavior and how to safely manage different temperaments, energy levels, and personalities. I became comfortable introducing dogs to one another, supervising group play, recognizing when dogs needed space or a break, and making sure every dog was comfortable in the environment. I also handled a large part of the cleaning and daily upkeep, including cleaning crates, deep-cleaning the dog areas, washing food and water bowls, maintaining a clean environment, and making sure the dogs always had a safe and comfortable place to stay. One of my favorite parts of caring for dogs is making sure they have a great experience while their owners are away. I love playing with them, giving them attention, taking them outside, and getting great pictures and updates for their owners so they can see how much fun their dog is having. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and after four years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a busy boarding and daycare environment, I’m excited to continue doing what I love and provide that same level of care to Rover clients and their pets. This is what I do and have done for a living for the last 4 years, prior to this I was working with my former partner under her rover account, plenty of play time for your pups! I create a safe environment for the dogs in my care by using crates, if your dog is good with other dogs then I do small play groups that last anywhere between 30-45 minutes, if your dog is reactive to other dogs I keep them in separate areas of the house, and let them out 1 on 1 with me.
“Deanna was great with updates and care. I got pictures daily and a little message. I didn't know she would watch multiple dogs at the same time but it seemed to be fine over all. My dogs came home happy and tired!”

“This was Pilgu’s first time staying in a sitter’s home, and I appreciated having a meet-and-greet beforehand. Communication was easy, and I received updates during his stay. Pilgu is very attached to me, can be anxious, and is generally a sensitive dog, so I was nervous about leaving him for a week. However, it seems that he adjusted well and made it through his stay. He was able to spend time with the sitter and her puppy in a home environment, which was a new experience for him. Thank you :)”


“The best sitters my little big boy has had by far!!!! They took such good care of baby boy. They administered his meds and showered him with love. He came back happy, healthy. and his BEST self. I can’t thank them enough. See you soon”

“Anita was great. We got pictures and updates on how Pepper was doing each day. She is great at communication and did a great job taking care of Pepper. Her kids seem to enjoy having Pepper stay wit them.”

“Kyra was fantastic taking care of my mom's dog when she was in the hospital unexpectedly. He is a rescue and very skittish, but Kyra made him feel comfortable and right at home. She also sent photos and updates every day. Highly recommend Kyra for your furry family members!”

“Rhiana is a fantastic dog sitter and ensures a safe and fun environment for your fur baby. We have booked with Rhiana before and she is nothing short of awesome - picture updates often, great communication, and you can tell our puppy had a blast each day with her. We highly recommend booking with Rhiana , she will make sure your dog is well loved and cared for.”

“James was awesome! We had to make a last minute booking and he helped us out. We got photos and updates throughout the day. We’re really happy that we chose him as our dog sitter and highly recommend him.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gates Mills
Flora was the loveliest to me and Carter. From the initial meeting she was so kind, gentle, attentive, and understanding with Carter. She wanted to know the details of his personality and the activities he likes. She left me detailed notes of how their day and evening went and sent professional like photos. She loves walking so I knew Carter would be well exercised, even in the colder weather (which Carter loves). Thank you for the wonderful care!

Flora was absolutely wonderful for my human-centered pittie pup, Cuyahoga! When we arrived to pick up Cuyahoga, she was very happy to see us but wasn't eager to leave Flora's side (usually when we pick Cuy up from boarding, she's ready to head home stat!). She clearly had created a close bond with Flora and I can see why, having seen Flora in action with her. Flora provided great updates throughout our time away. We will 100% book with Flora next time.

Mike and his family took great care of our dog while we were out of town for a week. She had fun playing with his adorable beagles and roaming his beautiful shaded and fully fenced property. She was also allowed to sleep in bed with someone which I know made her feel at home. I loved that we got lots of pictures and updates to let us know how she was doing. When I picked her up she was her usually happy self!
