“Shermont'e was very respectable and patient with our dogs, (our dogs can be shy meeting new people). He constantly gave us updates on how they were doing, and that our most shy dog warmed up to him by the end of his stay! 10/10 would recommend!!”
“Angela was great! She was very patient & gentle with my anxious dog during the meet & greet, so I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her! They seemed to get along great during the stay. Angela was good about sending pics & communicating. Would hire again!!”
“SHE IS AMAZING. Seriously the best. She communicates well, sends pictures and videos every day, and obviously loves animals. My dogs loved her and they are normally very shy and picky with people they don’t know. I will definitely be booking again.”
“Megan was awesome!!! Great communication and lots of photo/video updates. Tucker gots lots of ball/fetch time, which is his fave! I truly felt like Megan cared for Tucker as she would for her own pup ♥️ I came home to a tidy house and a very happy and tired pup 🐶”
“We would absolutely recommend having Shari care for any of your pets while you are away. We went overseas for 15 days and hired Shari to stay at our house to care for our 4 cats and 2 huskies. She was amazing. The dogs had a ton of walks, all animals were well taken care of. Shari was also an excellent house sitter. I will absolutely be reaching out to Shari again for our future pet sitting needs. Thank you so much Shari!!”
“Ebony was so kind and helpful throughout my dog baby's visit. She sent me tons of photos and updates while she had my baby. Baby(my dog) was well taken care of threwout her stay with Ebony. I'm so grateful for her, as she took my booking last minute since I had an unexpected family emergency come up. I will definitely use Ebony again in the future seeing as how amazingly she took care of what I consider a family member to me.”
“Devaneyis awesome! From the moment she walked in the door I was completely comfortable with her watching my dog Micki! She picked her up from my daughters and stayed later than expected when my flight was delayed. She was responsive, sent pictures and truly cared about how Micki was doing! I would highly recommend !”
About: With over 3 years of experience living with dogs and cats, I treat every pet like family. I offer a calm, trustworthy presence that keeps tails wagging. I’m a student so I’m usually studying at home with my Havanese! I maintain a feeding, grooming, exercise, and mental enrichment routine with my dog. I feed my dog 2x a day and walk her for 30 minutes in the morning. Since she’s crate trained, she enjoys lounging around her bed while I work. I can offer similar services but just let me know what you’re looking for.
About: I have a soft spot in my heart for rescues and special needs pets. I have two dogs, Darling (an 11 year old terrier mix with special needs) and August (a 2 year old very active service dog), and three rabbits, Nanny, Nobby, and Midna. I am experienced in administering medication, providing stimulation and play, caring for pets with special needs, caring for senior pets, maintaining service dog training, and exercising high-energy dogs. I’m active and love to be outdoors, and you can often find me on a hike or walk with a pup in tow! I’m also happy house sitting and just snuggling on the couch with pets of all kinds! I work a hybrid schedule and live on the near west side. Ready to care for your pet and give them love, attention, and exercise while you’re away from home! My schedule is flexible. I can come by to walk, play, feed, and exercise your pet as needed and keep them on a daily schedule. I’m available for overnights and house sitting as well.
“Octavia was the perfect dog sitter for my mini poodle. I was nervous to leave him for the long weekend, and she provided reassuring updates and photos to let me know my little dude was doing great and having the best time with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Meg was such a caring, honest, and responsible Rover. Our pup, Sonny, loved her immediately! She sent pictures and message updates throughout the pupsitting session. 5++ Stars!! Thanks, Meg!”
About: I've had dogs the day I was born. Since moving away for college I haven't been able to get my own. I've worked at a pet shop and done animal photography. Dogs have been such a major part of my life since I was a baby. I miss them and need more in my life. I work part time. I'm available most week days in the morning and early afternoon. If you need someone to walk your dog while your at work I would be perfect. For walking your dogs or house sitting it would depend on what the client wants. I want to make sure that any animal I am helping to take care is comfortable around me. Ultimately the owners know their pets better than I do and I want to respect what they want.
“Chy was great with my girls, H and M! She took great care of my dogs and my home while I was away. She is an excellent communicator and sent me photos every day I was gone. I will definitely be asking her to house/dog sot for me again the future.”
“Jonathan was amazing! I would absolutely book with him again. He helped us out in such a pinch and followed every routine for our dogs. He was very communicative and sent many pictiures. He stayed at our home and left it in prestine condition, 10/10 stars from me!”
“Joe took care of our guys and house for a long weekend. He took the boys on long walks and we could tell that they were super happy with Joe. Very good communicator and highly responsible. We will be scheduling with Joe again soon.”
About: I grew up around Labradors my whole life. Have trained three labs since birth so I'm used to big dogs. I'm in a great dog-walking neighborhood right near Shaker Lakes. I will walk your dog plenty and maybe even go swimming if your dog is into the water. I really enjoy hiking in different parts of Cleveland. No worries as your dog will get plenty of attention since I work from home. I would be happy to meet your furry friend. I work from home so your dog will get plenty of attention and walks. Walks around Cleveland Heights and play time in the back yard. I have a fenced in backyard and plenty of space and dog beds at the house so your dogs will be comfortable. Plenty of dog toys to keep the fur babies occupied.
About: I’ve always been good with animals and I’ve watched dogs for neighbors and friends. I’ve babysat dogs ranging from puppies to senior dogs. No problem with big dogs. I have a flexible schedule for daily walks/drop-ins but I will need notice ahead of time for home stays. Weekends are preferred. Weekday evenings are preferred. If you are a repeat customer, my schedule is more flexible. My home allows for dogs but I prefer home stays and drop-ins. I take dogs on lots of walks and am able to provide enrichment activities.
Hough pet parents share their Rover experiences
We cannot say enough good things about Octavia! She took incredible care of our two dogs, Luna and Coco, and treated them like they were her own. From the moment we met Octavia it was clear how kind, attentive, and genuinely loving she is with animals. We received regular updates, photos, and check-ins, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Luna and Coco were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we returned—always the best sign. Octavia paid close attention to their routines, personalities, and little quirks, and made sure they got plenty of love, and attention. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we trust completely with our dogs. Reliable, communicative, and truly wonderful—we would recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely be using her again.
Sophie took great care of our boy Duke and our home while we were gone for a week! While we were gone, we had an issue with our garage making it hard for Sophie to get inside, and she went above and beyond to help us resolve the issue. We are so grateful to have a sitter we can always trust!
Aashna is the perfect sitter for my 4 year old Pom Gus. She’s very punctual , and I can tell from the pictures she sent that Gus was comfortable and happy around her. She followed his care instructions really well and communicated regularly. I would 100% use her again and I highly recommend her.
Andrea is a phenomenal dog sitter! She took care of my pup for a week and treated her like a princess the whole time. My dog has urinary incontinence and we recently switched her meds and were figuring out the new dosage. She was very patient and cleaned up after my pup had a few accidents during the week. Andrea gave us daily updates and pictures and even cleaned up the place and washed the bedsheets on the last day! I highly recommend her and will absolutely be reaching out to her for help again :)
Omega was absolutely amazing! She spent the night at our hotel watching Pixie while we were at our son's wedding. From the moment we met Omega it was love at first sight for both us and Pixie. She is just a sweetheart and made sure we felt at ease leaving Pixie with her. She was knowledgeable, professional and a total sweetheart to boot. She kept us up to date via text with Pixie, her eating, exercise water intake and of course shared a bunch of photos with us. It made enjoying our son's wedding so much easier knowing what excellent hands Pixie was in. I would recommend Omega whole-hardheartedly for any pet parent who wants the confidence that their baby is being taken care of by the best!
Riley took care of our three dogs and our cat for four nights. He did a great job! One of our dogs is quite Senior and takes some extra patience and support, and we're so grateful Riley was here for him. It's hard to leave them, but we felt very confident with Riley, and he gave us great peace of mind. He sent pictures and didn't hesitate to text me a question when he wasn't sure if something our old man was doing was normal for him. It was! But, I'm so glad he asked. Riley kept our home just as we left it, and we are especially glad to have found someone that was able to stay at our home while we were gone so our pets could have as much normalcy as possible. We highly recommend Riley if you are looking for excellent care for you pets!
Meg did a wonderful job taking care of both my house and Winston during my 4 day vacation. She sent pictures every day with updates on how things were going. She left the place spotless.Communicated her arrival and departure with additional details that she thought were important. The last time he went out etc. I would definitely use Meg again and recommend her to take care of your furry baby.
Payton was awesome with our three dogs and cat. They can be a handful and she had them all weekend with no issues. Our one dog who is a little barky when he meets new people fell in love with her immediately, which I’ve never seen. She did an incredible job with our dogs and cat and left the house so clean (which she didn’t need to do). Thank you, Payton!!
