“Charles was extremely attentive to our cats and was very thorough on all the things that were asked. He went above and beyond to make sure that they were taken care of.”


About: I currently have a 3 year old mini Australian shepherd. My experience includes watching a puppy overnight, helping train a deaf dog, and taking neighbors dogs on walks. I am a teacher so I am available all of June-August to provide all day care for dogs or just walk dogs during the day. I have a friendly dog to keep your dog company. I also live within walking distance of a bike trail to make sure your dog gets daily walks.

“I just moved to the Chardon area from out of state and needed someone to check on my kitty while I travel. Brittany was responsive throughout the whole process and left great pictures and updates.”


“Brandon was great! I knew he was going to be great fit since the meet and greet. Our dog Benji loves him. Milo will take a bit of time but I'm sure over the next few visits Brandon will win him over too.”


About: I’ve owned and cared for my own dogs for over 25 years, all of them rescues. I have a deep love for animals and a soft spot for those in need. My pets have always been part of the family, and I’m known for spoiling them with love, attention, and treats (within reason!). I’ve nursed several of my dogs through illnesses, always going the extra mile to make them feel safe and cared for. I bring that same level of compassion and commitment to every pet I look after. I’m recently retired after 31 wonderful years with Chardon Local Schools, and now I have the time and flexibility to focus on something I truly enjoy — caring for animals. I’m home most of the day, which means your pets will get plenty of attention, companionship, and care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just relaxing company, I’m here to make sure your pets feel loved and comfortable while you’re away. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. Whether I’m stopping by for a drop-in visit or taking your dog for a walk, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. I follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and always make sure pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve had dogs since before I can even remember. I now have 3 dogs, a guinea pig, a bunny, AND a bearded dragon! I love taking care of all animals and making them feel the love!! I currently work a full time job mainly the hours of 2pm-10pm. Any time before 2 I am usually free, then my days off I would be willing as well. I will always make sure your pet is my top priority. Plenty of belly rubs and kisses, words of encouragement and love. Your pet means just as much to me as my own.

About: Hi! I’m a responsible and loving pet sitter with a flexible schedule. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I have experience taking care of blind/deaf dogs from young to old and I treat every pet like family. Whether your pet needs playtime, a walk, or just company, I’m here to help! I'm in grad school and most of my classes are online or a few hours in the evening 1-2x a week. I have the freedom to hang out or drop in every few hours, whichever works best for your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and maintaining the pet’s normal routine. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, habits, and personality to make sure they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I treat the home with the same respect I’d expect in return - following instructions closely, keeping things clean, and ensuring doors, gates, and feeding routines are handled properly. My goal is to make the transition as smooth as possible for both pets and their people.

About: I’m new to Rover but not new to caring for pets! I’ve grown up around animals and have experience walking, feeding, and playing with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. Friends and family often trust me to care for their pets when they’re away, and I treat each one like my own. I’m dependable, gentle, and excited to build lasting connections with both pets and their people.the Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work full-time and take some classes, but I manage my schedule well and always make time for animals. I’m available for pet care several days in a row and can accommodate overnight stays as well. Whether it’s quick check-ins, feeding, playtime, or just keeping a pet company, I make sure each visit is focused and meaningful. Spending time with pets is something I genuinely enjoy and find relaxing. I don’t offer care in my own home, but when I’m in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all routines and instructions closely to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I respect the space, keep things clean, and give pets lots of attention—whether that’s playtime, feeding, walks, or just quiet companionship. My goal is to keep things as stress-free and consistent as possible while their owners are away.

“Tony took great care of four cats when we went out of town. It was our first long trip away from the girls in some time, so I was nervous at first. But Tony checked in everyday with an update and sometimes even a picture, and I was relaxed in no time knowing they in good care. I came home to happy cats and a very tidy house. I know Tony is a dog guy, but I would recommend him for your feline friends as well! TLDR: 5 stars, will rebook with Tony again”


About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. I have had 3 dogs of my own and have taken care of others fur babies on many occasions. I treat every doggo like my own! I work full time as a speech therapist, I am available for drop-ins or walks in the evenings during the weeks and mostly any time on weekends. I treat all dogs like they are my own. I have a very large Rhodesian ridgeback who gets all the love and snuggles in the world!


About: I am a mom of a 9 year old girl and 13 year old boy. I recently went and house/dog sat for a week. I cleaned the house, played with the dog and cat, fed the dog and cat, and of course there were lots and lots of cuddles. I do have to be able to bring my kids with me as I do no have an option to leave them somewhere. But i will treat your home and your animals as our own. I have always had cats and dogs, up until I had to put our last one down a year ago. I work around part time job Wednesday-friday. I am able to be there with them all other days. They will be left when I have to work but we will be there directly after. We would abide by any rules the dog or cat has. Feeding time would be the same (unless they are fed at 5 Wednesday-friday, then they will be fed a little late.) We are able to let them out, walk them play and snuggle.

About: I first started caring for dogs (besides my own) in 2017, when I took a job at a local daycare and boarding facility. I was able to learn so much from my supervisors and co workers there about dog handling, health and behavior. I learned how to administer meds, including giving insulin to diabetic dogs, and have even dog sat several times for a client with an elderly, diabetic dog. I currently am still working at the dog boarding and daycare facility, where I fill a variety of rolls: dog taxi, front desk, park walker and enrichment specialist. Currently I do work 5 days a week with shifts being from 6-8 hours generally. I am hoping to eventually be able to do dog sitting on a more full time basis as I continue to form a client base. I will make every effort to be able to work around you and your dog’s schedule ☺️, I will make sure your dogs are taken care of to your specifications. Safety is always my first priority when caring for somebody’s furry family member.
