“Elizabeth was great! She listened to all of our instructions and made sure Pebbles was fed and went outside. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life and started watching dogs for family and friends while in college and couldn't have my own. I've enjoyed watching pets for my loved ones and now that I am in a house and working remotely I want to be able to provide my pet care experience to more fur babies. While the majority of my experience is with dogs I've also taken care of cats, fish, anoles, bearded dragons, rabbits, chinchillas, and hedgehogs. I'm open to caring for all sorts of animals and I'm able to be flexible with your needs. I work outside the house part time so when pets are with me they are my first priority and I only accept pets when I know I have enough time to give them all the attention they need. I have caged animals that I let out when I can supervise them so they house is animal proofed and anything potentially harmful is locked away. I have baby gates that can be put up to keep puppies/ elderly dogs from falling down the stairs. My back yard is enclosed on 3 sides by fencing and would be watched and leashed at all times when outside.

About: i’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes for several years now and always treat them as my own. your dog will feel right at home at my house with lots of room for play time and also lots of cozy places to snuggle! I work full time but am available intermittently through the week and on weekends for daytime and overnight care. We enjoy taking walks and exploring the city but also napping and relaxing when needed! I have a semi fenced in yard that is pretty spacious. Dogs are always leashed when taken out for safety purposes. Cleanliness is a top priority along with making sure your dog is happy and healthy.

“Kristi was amazing per usual! The kiddos love her and feel very safe and comfortable. She had great communication and great pictures 🥰 we were very grateful for her care . Highly recommended so happy we have her as our go to drop in Rover sitter.”

“Melissa did a great job. She spent time playing with my cats and ensuring they were doing well. She was punctual and payed attention to details. I will definitely hire her again.”

“James was fantastic with our cats. He had thoughtful questions prior to us being away, and was really communicative during our time away. He went above and beyond when we had a sensor issue with our Simplisafe alarm system.”

“Mitchell has always been absolutely wonderful during his stays with my dogs. He went above and beyond during a very scary medical emergency that occurred during the last stay and I cannot recommend him enough. His calmness, and professionalism during a very tough time helped me alot. Thank you Mitchell!”

“Great to work with! Always responded promptly and very reliable. Will look forward to working with Lily again”

About: I've been an animal person my entire life. I grew up helping pet-sit the neighborhood dogs, and my family loved a rescue German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix from the time I was 10 (she was 2) until she was 15 - she watched us grow up and even visited my college house. As an adult, my heart belonged to January, a border collie/American Staffordshire terrier mix I brought home in my late 20s after seeing her story on the news. She was an energetic, clever puppy who taught me patience, consistency, and the value of positive training. We had 13 wonderful years together before she passed in November 2025. Losing January left a hole in my routine and my heart, and i'm not quite ready to adopt again - but i've found real joy and healing in caring for other people's pets. I've recently house-sat and hosted dogs, cats, and birds for friends and family, from puppies and kittens to seniors on medications with special needs. That experience, plus a gentle nudge from the people who suggested Rover, is what brings me here. I've used the same trusted vet since I was a kid and know the ropes - comfortable administering medication, contacting the vet, or getting emergency care if needed. Your pet will be loved, watched closely, and cared for like one of my own. I work a hybrid schedule: two days at home (typically Monday and Friday) and three 8-hour days in an Avon Lake office (Tuesday-Thursday). My schedule is flexible and easy to swap these days. I can use my noon lunch break for midday walks, potty breaks, and playtime if you're within 5-10 miles of my location. I’m available in the evenings after work for walks, feeding & visits. I'm also happy to water plants, bring in mail, and handle other small house-sitting tasks. I live in a cozy Lakewood duplex on the first floor with a front yard and porch my dog loved to lounge on (yard stake leash available for safe outdoor time). I already have bowls, beds, leashes, and other supplies, so your pup won't need to travel with a pile of gear. I can board up to two dogs at a time -any size, any friendly mix - but I don't board cats in my home (happy to care for them at yours).

“Kenna is great. Ive used her multiple times and each time has been great. She's on time and dog adores her. She is very considerate about specific things youbtell her about your pup. I'd recommend her to everyone! Thanks kenna”

“I have a very energetic 7 month old bernese moutain dog who loves to jump on you. Sirena was very patient and kind with him but also stern. He needs a little structure.”

“This was my first time using Rover, and Justine was great! Made the time to come over before we left to meet our cat and get a rundown of her needs. She kept us updated on Mac the whole time we were gone with great info and pics! As a cat mom who worries, Justine made me able to enjoy my time away, knowing my cat was in great hands!”

Alek B.

“She was great with my very senior golden retriever. Would definitely recommend her. She kept me updated on how my dog was doing and gave lots of love and attention.”

About: My dog growing up was a black lab chow mix, so I work well with energetic dogs and love to run and play with them. I love to be outside and would love to take your dog on a walk/hike with me! I joined Rover to spend time with animals, get some exercise, and help you take care of your furry companions. I am hardworking, reliable, and punctual. I’m currently working hybrid so I’m flexible with dog walking times and my ability to dog sit! My job is 9-5, but I can stop over before/after and on breaks between meetings depending on your dog’s needs! I am flexible to either let your dog out in a fenced-in-backyard or take them on a leashed walk! The length and duration of that walk can be adapted to your dogs’ energy levels!

“Erin was great. Timely, great photo updates, and no news to report. Will definitely be reaching out to her again! That was the first time using Rover, and first time leaving my dog for a full weekend without a family member, and all went well!”

Nick C.

“Natalie is amazing I’d recommend to anyone. I have a GSD who is very difficult to walk if you do not know how to handle him, she does great with him on walks, always on time and he loves her!”

Kelly R.

“Hannah is very good with my animals. She lives conveniently close to me too. We are lucky she is our rover!! Would recommend!”

Anna L.

“Fantastic sitter! Went above and beyond to care for my cat while I was gone for 10 days. Was very communicative and caring. Even watered my plants which was a huge plus!”

Christian O.

“Alexandrea was wonderful with my cat while I was out of town. She kept her well fed and played with her each day. I received several photos each day of my cat happily playing and cuddling with Alexandrea which helped put my mind at ease. I'd use Alexandrea again for future cat sitting services.”

Emily N.

“Amanda is amazing and sweet. She helps us so much with our puppy, giving us a little break to do house things or giving him a walk when we're away. Makkachin always loves seeing her each time. 7/5 stars.”
