“Nicole is a gem! She has been such a blessing for my big boy Deazle! She wasn’t intimidated by his breed (pit) and always welcomed him into her home lovingly. Nicole does a wonderful job at updating Deazles stays with her, and never fails to be very specific as to what ‘the kids’ did for the day. She has a HUGE backyard and the dogs love it! When the weather isn’t nice enough to go outside (bc this is OHIO), she plays with them in her basement. Nicole ROCKS”
About: I have been a pet owner for about four years now and truly have a passion for taking care of dogs and giving them freedom to have fun and be themselves. I work at night time so usually when I get up in the day, I have the most energy and that’s when I’m totally available for the time and attention for the love of dogs. I have a closed in gated fence, which allows the pets to have access to roam around handedly at Will I have a true passion for taking care of dogs.
“Alamelu and her family are absolutely wonderful! They took excellent care of my dog, Pepper, for the day. She sent me pictures and updates, took him for walks, and made sure that he was comfortable in their home. Pepper came home very happy and tired out :) This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. I truly cannot recommend Alamelu enough! When we are away, I will definitely have Alamelu take care of Pepper.”

“Our family loves sending our beagle to Swetha! We were in a pinch and needed to find day care for our pup with separation anxiety and a bit of a rascal side. We sent a list of dates and she replied immediately and said she could accommodate all of them. Pros: 1. Communication - She messages you throughout the day with pictures and videos, and sends a daily report. 2. Pet care - At the meet and greet, you discuss everything your pet needs including meal times, medicines, bathroom breaks, behaviors, etc. She works hard to ensure your pet receives the best care. Our dog is not left alone and gets plenty of attention which he loves. 3. Exercise - She takes our dog outside for bathroom breaks and walks. He also gets plenty of exercise playing with her dog and any other dogs in her care. Our pup comes home tuckered out! Cons: 1. Your dog may not want to leave! I would rate more than 5 stars if possible. She is very friendly, caring, communicative, and accommodating. If you want your dog to be in a safe and loving environment with attentive care, you should book with Swetha!”


About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I grew up with a German Shephard then my family got a small maltise/bishon when I was a teenager. My family currently has a 5 year old German Shephard (Jax) and a 6 year old cat (Scout). I have two teenagers that also share the same love for animals. Jax is very friendly and gets along with other dogs but he is big. I am available for dog walking, check ins or boarding. Please reach out if you have any questions. I will treat your pet like they are my own! I currently work from home Mon-Fri and am available to take short walks throughout the day or go out for potty breaks as needed. I don’t have a fence at this time but we are getting one this summer. I will take your pet out on a leash until then.
“We came into Cleveland for a few days and wanted to bring our mini poodle. We didn't want to leave our dog in a crate at the Airbnb all day while we explored the city, so we decided to send her to Roselie and Kevin. They were both SO nice and accommodating. Our dog was well cared for. I would highly recommend booking your pup a stay with Roselie and Kevin.”

“I left my baby Raisin (just adopted) so she’s still messy and not trained and they were amazing with her and had a lot of patience. I can’t wait to book the next daycare with them.”

About: I’ve dealt with small to large pups in different breeds. I’ve handled all kinds of request like clothing when it’s raining or cold etc. I’m here to service you! I have a doggie and had her for four years and babysat other dogs two years before her. I work from home so my schedule is open to step away and attend to the doggies! I tend to take mine to the park down the street and go on walks three times a day. The doggies are free to roam around my home and have a comfy couch to chill on. There’s plenty of roaming space and toys that I keep! each dog has their own food and water bowl. In clients home I will follow any directions given.
“Melanie took absolutely wonderful care of my puppy! I couldn’t have asked for anything more. She clearly has a lot of experiences caring for animals and treated my puppy with the utmost care and respect. She cared for him as if he was her own, and I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands for the day. She went above and beyond. I really can’t say enough good things, and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for care for their animal. I will definitely book Melanie again!!”

About: I am 30 years old and I live with my husband and 5 year old daughter. We recently lost our 225lb English mastiff and figured pet sitting would help us move on easier. We love meeting new dogs and people and enjoy having them in our home. I work from home full time so I am always home with them as well. I can offer walks many times a day as well as many potty breaks. Feeding times can be multiple times throughout the day as well. I live in a great area for walks and there are many trails just a street over. I look forward to speaking with you! I have had experience with puppies as well as senior dogs and all different breeds from teacup to giant breed! Please contact me with any questions or concerns for your dog I work from home so I can be with your fur babies around the clock! I wake up very early in the morning as well! I have a fenced in yard as well as a park nearby! I can accommodate any diet as well! I am very flexible and can work with whatever you need

“Max and Oliver had so much fun! Oliver can be a handful, so I’m very thankful for the kindness and patience. Also very thankful to of found someone that worked with my schedule.”


“Alexandria is the best dog-sitter. This is our first time using Rover. She just really took care of our dog. She sent photos and even gave her a toy. We will definitely go to her 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 am pet first aid and CPR certified. And also carry full pet liability insurance. 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. *Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate high energy dogs at this time* I am a registered nurse who works on an as needed basis so I am home most of the day except when I am out providing dog walks and drop-in services. 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. *All of my clients will receive photos daily.* 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 pet cameras to watch them on if we so happen to not be home. We currently have 2 rescue dogs and a cat in our home - all of which are spayed/neutered, up to date with vaccines, and are non-territorial with new dogs. Whether it is humans or animals - providing loving care is my passion. I will treat your furry family member as one of my own.
About: I have had animals almost my entire life. I am a big animal lover and would love to give your dog a safe, energetic, and loving home while you’re away. I do have one friendly dog of my own who would love to keep yours company. I am a stay at home mom with availability any day of the week and a lot of flexibility. I would love to welcome in and/or care for your pet. I have a fenced in yard with kids and a friendly dog to keep yours company. I can crate if needed and cater any care needs.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for years, including overnight stays and quick drop-ins for potty breaks. I have experience with different routines and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m also a pet owner myself—I have three cats and a mini goldendoodle who loves to play! I got into dog sitting because we had taken our dog to be boarded before and were very unhappy with the lack of care and love she received when she was boarded. I wanted to make sure other families didn’t have that experience as well. We have a fully fenced-in backyard, so there’s plenty of safe space for dogs to run, play, and get their energy out. My daily routine is already built around structure, consistency, and caregiving, so pet care fits in seamlessly. I’m used to following schedules, whether that’s for feeding times, potty breaks, walks, or playtime. I make time for walks, outdoor play in my fenced-in yard, and plenty of attention and care. Throughout the day, I’m organized and responsive, making it easy to prioritize pets’ needs and stick to their normal routines. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and it naturally fits into my day just like caring for my own pets. I care for pets in my home by creating a safe, comfortable, and structured environment where they can feel at ease. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions. Pets have access to my fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play and exercise, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day. I also keep a clean and pet-friendly space, ensuring water is always fresh and that pets are monitored closely during interactions. With my experience caring for animals and my own pets at home, I understand how important it is for them to feel secure, loved, and part of the family while you’re away.
“Aaliyah watched our dogs in her home two days in a row for day care and they loved her! She was friendly, flexible, and responsive. It was great to work with her!”
