“Amy was so wonderfully attentive and timely with updates about my cat. She went the extra mile and cleaned up some hairballs and also took the time to get more cat food. I will certainly be contacting her next time I need a cat sitter!”
“Janet is great with our cats - so thorough! Cats get fed, watered, litter scooped, and updates provided. One of our cats even needs medication, which Janet gave him. We have no anxiety leaving our babies, knowing they are in Janet's care. She is wonderful!”
“Katherine always does a great job of keeping us informed. She went above and beyond to care for our cats during the winter storm and we so appreciate it.”

“Kayla took such good care of my pup! It was so nice not to have to worry while I was gone. Kayla provided pics and a helpful update for each visit, which I so appreciated. I’d highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Excellent cat sitter! Great communicator! Showed up in time and communicated well. Clearly loved my cat and I appreciated the photo updates. Went above and beyond sweeping up spilled cat litter. Plan to book again in the future and would recommend to anyone”
“Megan was Awesome!! Very detail oriented and took excellent care of my kitty. I’m extremely particular and Megan followed all of my instructions perfectly. She sent me daily pictures and wrote a nice summary at each visit. Would definitely use Megan again and again!”

About: Hi, my name is Tina! I grew up on a farm in rural PA which has provided me with a lifetime of caring for animals. I actually cannot remember a time when I haven’t had a pet. When I moved to Cleveland I didn’t know anyone here and I was working 12 hour night shifts. With my work schedule (and before Rover), finding dog sitting/walking was tough. Now that my job has become more flexible and I have the luxury of providing pet services, I want to make this task as easy as possible on you and your pup. I am comfortable giving both oral and injection medications. I can provide care from puppies to seniors. My love for animals doesn’t stop at dogs. I can also drop-in to your home to look after your cats and other pets (birds, fish, rodents, reptiles, etc) - I have experience with them all. I am a registered nurse who works part time (2-3 days a week). My partner (Rick) works from home 100% of the time so there will always be at least one set of eyes, if not two, on your furry friend. We currently have 2 rescue dogs and 2 cats in our home. All of which are spayed/neutered, up to date with vaccines and are non-territorial with new dogs. I know it’s hard to leave your doggo behind, but I will ensure that they are well cared for while you are away. We have a quiet, comfortable, clean home for your pup to enjoy in a safe and friendly neighborhood. We have a spacious, fully fenced in backyard with a doggie door that will fit up to 40lbs - meaning your dog will have 24/7 access to the outside. And a pet camera to watch them on if we so happen to not be home. *All of my clients will receive photos daily.* Whether it is humans or animals — providing loving care is my passion. I will treat your furry family member as one of my own.
“Kailee did a great job with drop in visits for my cat, Florence, while I went away on vacation! I appreciated the good communication and cute photos. Florence was fed daily and litter box kept clean. Florence is shy but she definitely opened up to Kailee by the last day she dropped in! I greatly appreciate your help!!”
“I ABSOLUTELY recommend David who exceeded my expectations for care, feeding and companionship of my beautiful white cat, Princess Puff!!! A gentleman with a heart of gold!!! A true animal-lover!”
“Kara took the most beautiful picture of my babies and made me feel super safe to leave her in my home to take care of them! I would recommend her 100%!”
“I highly recommend Bri, she’s very nice and easy to communicate with and most importantly my animals loved her. 10/10 would recommend”
“Did an awesome job doing drop in visits for my cat! Gives good updates and pics!”
“Melanie takes amazing care of our cats and provides helpful and cute details and photos so that we know what our cats are up to when we’re gone. The kitties love her and so do we!”
About: This would be my first official year sitting, but I’d love to help out 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 on summer break 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.
“Ashley dropped in on our two cats while we were on vacation. She took wonderful care of them and kept us updated with pictures and messages! She went above and beyond and really gave the cats time and care. The cats were happy and well cared for when we returned! We highly recommend Ashley!”
“Roxanne is wonderful! She was very communicative and prompt, and did exactly what she said she would do with our dog. We absolutely trust her and will use her again. We highly recommend her :-)”
About: I grew up with dogs and I have had dogs for the last 43 years. I have raised numerous puppies for the age of 8 weeks to 4 months. I have raised 6 rottweilers over the years and made sure they were well trained in walking, eating, playing and most important respect and discipline. I am retired so I have a lot of time to snuggle with your dog or cat. I volunteer at shelter on Fridays from 9:30 to 12:00 outside of that I am free. I'm currently retired and available anytime from 5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. I have plenty time to play and walk with your pups. I am open to any schedule you will need, I once was a working pet parent and I know how important is is to make sure your pups are well taken of care while you are not there. I will take the upmost care with your pup just like with my two pups. When I take care of your pups I will take care of them just as if they were mine.

Patience was awesome - she took great care (and great pics) of our 3 kitties in our absence! I was so relaxed knowing they had fresh water, fresh crunchy food, treats, play time, their breakfast wet food and a scooped litter box while we were away! It would be our pleasure to trust her again with our cats, who I'm sure would ask for her to come back too!

Melanie was super great with my Stella! She was really great at communicating as well! This was my first time using Rover and Melanie made it so easy for me! I will definitely be using her in the future! My Stella just adores her now !!!
Carla helped me out with my cats medication well I was away for 3 nights. She was great with my two cats. I felt comfortable leaving them with her!
I ABSOLUTELY recommend David who exceeded my expectations for care, feeding and companionship of my beautiful white cat, Princess Puff!!! A gentleman with a heart of gold!!! A true animal-lover!
Krista was an absolute life saver! Very attentive to our babies. This was our first time using Rover and we’re a lil nervous but had no other choices for our kitty bc she has a back injury and can’t be boarded. We are very pleased with Krista and will continue to utilize her expertise for any future trips! A+++++ she sent a very detailed report each day with wonderful pictures. It made us feel like a family member was watching them.
