“Kathy was everything we could have hoped for in a dog-sitter - attentive, experienced, patient, reliable. Our pooch has physical disabilities which require additional time and effort. Kathy rose to the occasion with both professional and gentle acumen. Her work as a nurse certainly added to her skills. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave our fur baby with her and to whole-heartedly recommend her to all.”
“Riya is the best. Barkley felt instantly comfortable with her and her pup, Archie. She was so kind to help us on short notice. She took great care of Barkley, sent photos, and gave us the perfect amount of communication. Highly recommend her and will definitely connect with her again!”
“Samantha was a kind and caring sitter! She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on how my puppy was doing. She also has 2 small and very well behaved pups and this was great for socialization. Very happy to leave my puppy with Samantha.”
“Susan took wonderful care of Ekho my senior Boston Terrier. Ekho has some special needs, including daily meds and was returned to us in good spirits and in good health. Susan was pleasant, super easy to work with and sent us several updates and photos through the week. We will contact her again if needed and I recommend her without hesitation to others.”
“So friendly, accommodating and helped to stay in touch with my little girl while I was away on work travel! Their dog and my baby became great friends! A loving home and made me feel ok while away from my puppy! ❤️?”
“Brendan & Sarah were absolutely fabulous! They treated my pup like their own and sent me updates and pictures…i am so sad I found them at the end of my time in Cleveland because i definitely would have been using them regularly!”
“This is the first time I've ever had to leave Stewart with someone other than a family member. Needless to say I was very stressed but Stewart did just fine and met new friends! I received daily pics and was starting to wonder if he wanted to come back home, lol! Thank you Leonard and family for taking such good care of Stewart as if he was part of your family! Until next time! Stewart's parents!”
About: I love animals. I love dogs. I have a English mastiff who loves to play. I have a totally fenced in backyard where the dogs can go in and out and say please they are well taken care, love to take them on walks into the parks. Also love to send owners pictures of their animals while they’re away. I know that is very important. i’m a stay at home mom I have three kids that go to daycare and school. I have an English mastiff and a special kitty so my house is open to helping out people when they wanna go on vacation to watch their dogs for them your animals so we all taken care of while they’re here they’ll be able to go outside in the backyard and run and play. when I’m home, the dogs are allowed to ruin the house. If I have to run out, they are kept in the family room and a gate so they have still have room to run around and play but when I’m home they’re with me.
“I really wouldn’t trust anybody else with my fur baby. Elandra is the best, always so nice, great communication and I always appreciate the updates. I will rebook again and again.”
“Great communication, sent me pictures and updates. My dog is still quite high energy and I've had less than stellar experiences at facilities. When I brought her home I could tell she'd been taken care of and was her regular self.”
“Ramona is amazing. We recently moved to OH and needed a sitter for our golden doodle. Ramona was wonderful and our dog was happy during her 5 day stay- her home is beautiful and her yard is fenced- we will definitely book Ramona again.”
“Lorie is terrific! The dogs were well cared for and safe in her home and fenced yard. We felt welcomed upon arrival and the dogs were ready for us with their things packed for departure.”
“I have used Lynn multiple times and she is absolutely excellent. Reliable, caring, and completely trustworthy. I have total peace of mind when my dog is with her. Also great communication. Lynn is the best and I highly recommend her.”
“Kimberly was great with my dog. I got updates daily with pictures. I can tell when my dog is stressed, and she didn’t appear stressed at all. All my instructions were followed, and medications given. I will use Kimberly again!”
“Sarah continues to be a great resource when I need to travel. She takes wonderful care of Winnie and always shares updates to keep me in the loop while I'm away. Winnie loves to spend time with Sarah and Tobi!”

Independence pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jason was fantastic – it was clear when we first met him that he cares so much about animals! We lost our old sitter of 4 years, so we were worried about finding a new one. But Jason watched our pup for 9 days, and it was an amazing experience! He was always in communication, sent daily photos, and took such great care of our Jack Russel. Our little guy came home well rested (he had clearly had his own vacation staying with Jason)! We highly recommend him and will be using him in the future!
Dee was wonderful! She recently cared for our energetic hound in her home for a week while we were away. She asked great questions to get to know our dog before we booked with her, did a meet and greet with her dogs and our pup, and made sure our doggo was comfortable throughout his stay. She sent lots of photo and video updates so we knew our pup was well taken care of throughout the week. Would gladly book again and recommend her to others looking for a responsive, experienced, and responsible caregiver for their pets!
