Keerie is a great dog walker for our Mabel. Mabel loves her weekly long walks and snuggles and I love Keerie’s responsiveness, timeliness and communication. Keerie is a true animal lover who I highly recommend.

About: My husband and I have loved getting to dog sit for friends and family. When we heard about rover we got so excited! My husband and I are both runners and are happy to take the dogs we watch on runs/ walks and hikes. We also have enjoyed our new home which came with a fenced in yard. Giving the dogs freedom to run and play is so fun to watch! Every dog we watch feels right at home and we love to cuddle with each and every one. I am currently a stay at home mom for my 5, 4 and 2 year old and think your pup will fit in just right with our fun crew. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I am currently working part time, and I have plenty of time to work your pup into our daily routine. We have three kiddos at home so a routine is something our family thrives on. We have a beautiful fenced in backyard with lots of room to run and play. We also have a crate that can be utilized if need be. There is an extra room we use for dogs to be able to take a break if need be.

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.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet lover based in the Akron/Cuyahoga Falls area. I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all personalities and understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently have pets of my own, so I’m very familiar with feeding routines, litter/cleanup, playtime, medication schedules, and giving animals patience and attention. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you can feel at ease while you’re away from home. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for drop-ins, house sitting, and pet care throughout the week. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, cuddly, or independent, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 It fits in perfectly! I am currently doing mostly freelance work right now so this type of flexible schedule is just the right fit for me! I will provide extra toys, lots of love and snuggles, and I am open to discussing providing more if that is of interest to you!

About: Hi! I’m Erin, an Ohio State graduate with over 10 years of pet sitting experience, specializing in dog/cat care. I offer both drop-in visits and overnight stays, with a big focus on making sure your pet stays in their normal routine. Walks aren’t just quick potty breaks to me. I pay attention to pace, energy level, and what your dog actually enjoys, whether that’s a structured walk, a slower stroll, or getting some extra energy out in the backyard. I’m confident handling different sizes, temperaments, and leash behaviors, and always prioritize safety and consistency. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I bring. I’m very detail-oriented and tuned in to behavior, so I pick up quickly on what makes each dog comfortable. I keep communication clear and consistent with updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I also keep things clean, calm, and organized in your home during visits or overnight stays. I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have two cats of my own, so I truly understand the trust that goes into leaving your pet with someone. My goal is to make your dog or cat feel secure, cared for, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone reliable who goes beyond the basics, I’d love to connect and meet your pets:) I have dedicated my days and weekends to providing loving care for animals! I’m fortunate to have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet sitting a priority in my day to day life. Most of my experience has been pet sitting in the owners home or drop ins! I provide overnight services as well. Since I have 2 cats of my own, I would allow dogs to stay at my home if they have experience being around cats. I am dedicated to making each animal feel as comfortable as possible and making sure they feel loved while you are away.

Marie is fantastic! She promptly arrived on time. My dog loves her. She fed my fish,too. The interaction between them was all positive. Many posting of Truman were made, even videos. This gave me comfort and joy to see my boy happy while I'm away.

About: I have been routinely dog sitting and watching since before I was 12 years old. From small, to medium, to large dogs, I can handle it all! I have even watched cats, ferrets, and lizards. I believe each animal has unique needs that I am able to deliver at your request. In my own home, I have a dog, cat, and two ferrets! I love taking care of our fuzzy friends🤩 I work part-time from 4-9am which allows the rest of my day to tend to your companion! My summer is built to cater to your pet’s needs😁 I currently take my family dog for routine walks, and sometimes runs, as well as letting him out throughout the day. I also provide loving attention and to our family cat! On the other hand, the two ferrets that I own require special attention due to chronic illness. Their primary veterinary always praises the care that I am able to provide for them!

Easy to communicate with! Abigail came twice to let Dani out. Since it was raining, I asked her to just play with Dani. This was my first Rover experience and I would definitely do it again! Great job, Abigail!

About: Life long animal lover, I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, ducks, fresh water aquariums and hamsters. It delights me to give other pet owners peace of mind while they are away from their furry, feathery or even scaley family members by providing care, companionship and security. Pet care is my main schedule priority, I also work as a wellness counselor part time but generally have a lot flexibility in my schedule as I mainly operate remotely for that and I am happy to work with you and your furbabies schedule needs. I do not currently offer care within my own home due to limited space but I am very happy to care for your pets within your own home or by taking them to a trail or park where they can be their happiest and most comfortable. It's important to me to ensure animals stick to their routines to ensure the least amount of stress while owners are away so the more detailed care instructions provided the better, I'm not afraid to adust my personal schedule to best fit the needs of any pet!

About: Since I was young, I’ve always had a pet. After college I finally got a pet of my own and they’ve just multiplied over the years! Dogs are my specialty - I’ve taken care of dogs belonging to friends and family & I’ve trained both of my dogs since they were puppies. I’d say what sets me apart from others is that I have plenty of time in the afternoons (and any time during the weekend) to take care of your pup because my job ends early in the day unlike a 9-5 job. I have years of experience under my belt and I just really love animals. Always have and always will! As a teacher, I am always home early on the weekdays so I’ll have plenty of time every afternoon to play with & walk your dog! I am available any time on the weekends and I can board Fri-Sun. My husband and I have a big fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company! We are firm believers in lots of walks, lots of playtime, and positive reinforcement. If needed, we can provide a crate as a safe space for your dog to lounge in. Our dogs are our children and we will treat your dog with the same love as we treat our own :)
