About: Hi! My name is Ebony, and Iâm a college student pursuing a degree in Veterinary Technology. Iâve had cats and dogs my entire life and currently have a dog of my own, so caring for animals isnât just a job⌠itâs my passion. With my background, Iâm comfortable administering oral medications, recognizing changes in behavior, and responding appropriately in emergency situations. Cleanliness and organization are very important to me, and I always make sure your home and your petâs space are left tidy. I am more than happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you always know how your fur baby is doing while youâre away. â¤ď¸ While I attend school full-time , my availability outside of classes is fully dedicated to your petâs care. I currently offer in-home sitting and walking services so your pet can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their daily routine. I understand how important patience, consistency, and compassion are when it comes to building trust with both pets and their owners. I strictly follow all provided feeding schedules, dietary needs, medication instructions, and routines to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their own home. Thank you for considering me as your sitter âŁď¸

About: I am a retired high school teacher and have loved and had dogs all of my life as well as a variety of other animals. My 16 year old little man passed away May 2019 and this is the first time my house is empty since 2000. I will treat and love your fur babies like they were my own. I have prepared custom meals, walked dogs regularly for good exercise, created and managed medication and feeding schedules, kept up with their vet care, promoted a social life by introducing them to people and other dogs, groomed and bathed them, and provided and shared living space catered to their needs because they were part of my family! Your dog will be safe and comfortable in my care!
About: Hi, I'm Amanda! I've had animals my entire life and truly can't imagine a home without them. Right now, I share my life with two dogs, two guinea pigs, a cat, and a bearded dragon -- basically a small farm (yes, I know). Because I've cared for so many different types of pets, I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or just wants a quiet companion, I'm happy to meet them where they're most comfortable. I offer pet sitting during the day, evenings, and overnight short visits as well as dog walking, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and pet transportation. Your pets will be cared for as if they were my own with patience, attention, and lots of love. Please message me if you have any questions, thank you!! Iâm looking to earn extra income doing something I genuinely enjoy. My schedule is very flexible, and Iâm home most of the day to provide attentive care. I provide attentive, respectful care in my clientâs home so pets can stay comfortable in their own space. I follow all instructions closely, stick to routines, keep things clean and safe, and give pets plenty of attention and reassurance.
âThe absolute best. Reliable, communicative, empathic, trustworthyâI could go on and on! My dog is leash reactive and itâs such a relief knowing he has someone who understands him and is willing to work with his individual needs. And his little tail doesnât stop wagging from the moment he sees her car pull up!â

âDasha was awesome! She texted me updates throughout Wilma's walk/visit and even brought in our packages from our front porch. She followed all of the directions we left to a T, but most importantly she took great care of our dog and made her long day alone less lonely. We will definitely use her again. Wilma had a great time with Dasha!â

About: I have taken care of pets since my youth, and Iâm usually the first person my friends and family call when they need someone reliable for the day. I truly enjoy long walks, and having a furry companion along makes them even better. Animals bring so much joy into my life, and Iâm always happy to provide attentive, loving care whenever you need a sitter. I currently work full-time remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive care during the week. Iâm also available on weekends, including overnight stays if needed. Please try to coordinate at least three days in advance. Iâm easygoing and flexible. I have a spacious backyard where pets can safely roam and get plenty of fresh air. Thereâs also a bike path right across the street thatâs perfect for long walks and exercise. I currently donât have any pets of my own, though my sisterâs dog visits occasionally. Iâm always happy to discuss details and tailor care to your petâs needs when youâre ready.

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 havenât had a pet. When I moved to Cleveland I didnât 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 doesnât 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. If you'd prefer to have a solo stay with your dog(s) I can provide a one fur family at a time service (excluding my pets) for an additional $10/dog per day fee. Please let me know your preference at booking. Otherwise, there may be overlap in fur clients during your dogs stay. **WE ARE UNABLE TO ACCOMMODATE HIGH ENERGY DOGS AT THIS TIME** I am a registered nurse who works on an as needed basis. 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 (at times we may have a foster dog as well). All of which are spayed/neutered, up to date with vaccines and are non-territorial with new dogs. I know itâs 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 â providing loving care is my passion. I will treat your furry family member as one of my own.
âAsis was very good with our dog. He was unsure of her at first because it was their first time meeting but he quickly warmed up to her once they started walking. We will definitely be using her again.â


âStacey is compassionate and very caring. Stacey is positive and energetic, a perfect demeanor for entrusting the care of our puppy too. We appreciate all that she does for our puppy!â

Heâs part of our family and gets two walks a day, lots of playful activity, and special care. He truly is our little boy! I love puppy playdates and socializing dogs safely. My dog enjoys the company of other dogs, children, and adults of all ages, so Iâm comfortable caring for pets in multi-dog households or busy family environments. I treat every dog like part of the family, ensuring they get exercise, attention, and love every day. Additionally, I have experience raising baby chickens and cared for my very own hens for three years! I truly love pets of all kinds and canât wait to help take care of yours!

I focus on providing reliable, flexible, and loving care, and Iâm happy to help with feeding, potty breaks, playtime and general house sitting while I drop in.

âJoanna is amazing!!!! This was my first time using a dog walking service and I was instantly comfortable with her. She went above and beyond in taking care of my girl! A great communicator with updates, scheduling, and pics/reports of my dog's behavior. I would highly recommend her if you're looking for someone to be responsible, loving, and affectionate toward your "kid", whether a pup or senior dog.â


âWe keep going back to her. Katherine always treats our pets kindly and updates us with lots of pictures. She even helped to clean up messes our puppy made during her visit. Cannot recommend her enough!!â

About: Iâve taken care of a German Shepherd named Kylo for the past 2 years. I recently stopped due to the owner being able to stay home with him full time. I used to house/dog sit, walk, and help with general care including baths, nail trimming, and very very basic trims. I work 3rd shift Monday-Friday. So I will be available between noon-6:00 PM on those days. I am available between 9AM-5PM on Saturdayâs and 9AM-2:00PM on Sundays. I will care in anyway needed. I can provide companion, physical and mental stimulation to your dog, make sure they are fed and hydrated, walked and taken to go potty, along with any other basic task you may want complete.
