“Kristi is the exact kind of person you want to look after your pets. She gives great daily updates and sends awesome pictures of happy pets. She cleans up well (wouldn’t know she was even here!) and offered me some great advice I was looking for! 10/10 will book again.”


“Maureen is wonderful! Communicative and friendly, she took great care of our girls while we were out of town. Writes adorable updates for them too which was very appreciated.”

“Tiffany is the best! She is always here for us when we need her! She truly enjoys our crazy little Chihuahua and his kitty brother and sister! We love knowing that she is taking care of our little ones!”

“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!”

“Joyce is so amazing! Our shy dog needs time to warm up to new people. Joyce has been so patient and kind and given our pup all the space and time she needs! We are so happy to have her care for our Nova!”

“Amanda was great. She showed up in time each time for the drop ins. She was very good with my pup and very responsive with communications. As a first time puppy owner she gave me some great advice. I would definitely be working with her again.”

About: I have several years of experience caring for pets and enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I’ve grown up with and around dogs and have regularly helped friends, family, and neighbors with pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. My experience includes feeding, walking, administering basic medications, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and routines. Whether it’s an active dog or a more relaxed pet, I always adapt my care to what makes them happiest. I’m reliable and communicative! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I always provide updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel cared for and every owner feel confident they made the right choice. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine! I’m currently wrapping up my corporate job with the Cleveland Guardians, where I work a 9–5 schedule through April 17th. I’m available for walks or drop-in visits right after work on weekdays, and I have open and flexible availability on weekends. After April 17th, I will be completely available full-time for pet care until I begin my new corporate role on May 1st. This gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, visits, extended care, and last-minute bookings during that time. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs, and I always aim to be as accommodating and reliable as possible! I always tailor my care based on the specific service and each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal schedule, this includes feeding times, walks and any medications. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also keeping the home clean and respecting the space. I also provide regular updates/photos so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. For dog walking or drop-in visits, I focus on making the time engaging, whether that’s a long walk or companionship and a quick check-in. I always ensure pets have fresh water, are safe and secure, and get the care they need during each visit. If I’m caring for a pet in my own home, I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible and make sure they get plenty of exercise and supervision. My goal in any setting is to treat every pet like my own and make the experience positive and stress-free for both the pet and the owner.

“Arissa did a fantastic job caring for our senior cat, who requires medical injections. She is a great communicator, detail-oriented and pleasant to work with. She is a self-starter and I was able to relax while we were gone because she did such a good job. Highly recommend!”


About: My husband and I own a very sweet, playful Great Dane/mastiff and a pure bred English Mastiff. We have experience with all kinds of dogs and other animals. We have a large finished upstairs where our dog loves to run and play. We have a large backyard that is fully fenced/gated. We walk daily (in nice weather). We have fun toys to play with and a whole room for your dog to sleep in (instead of a cage) but if your dog prefers a cage we have a huge one he can sleep in (or you can bring your own). I stay home so your pet will have plenty of company! We have three young girls who absolutely love playing with dogs. They are gentle and dogs always love them.
“Breon is very competent, flexible and great with our elderly large dog with medication needs. Our Pyr liked her right away and is comfortable with her. We look forward to being a repeat client.”

About: I had my own dog for over 14 years, and have always loved being around others' pets. Throughout my twenties, I frequently house and pet sat for employers, family members, and friends; though I currently prefer shorter visits, I may be open to overnights with established clients. My career as a Postpartum Care Specialist has helped me become more in tune with subtle non-verbal cues from tiny humans and fluffy creatures alike. I also have a special place in my heart for gentle giants and senior dogs. I run my own business working perinatally with families, so pet owners who want someone to pop in midday through early evening will likely be the best fit. Since I make my own schedule, however, I can be flexible when able to plan ahead. Similarly to tiny humans, building mutual trust comes with time and a gentle approach. I always wait to greet a pet until they have calmed down and respect their space. I prefer when pet parents fill me in on their animals' routine as well as any quirks they have, so that I can care for them as seamlessly as possible.
“Lilly provided exceptional care for our sweet kitty!! She kept us informed and provided pictures and daily updates. Most importantly she provided peace of mind that our kitty was well cared for!!”

“Veronica was great! She was very communicative and timely, and kept me updated with photos and text messages about my cat while I was away for the weekend. Would definitely recommend!”


About: I’m a dog mom to three rescues (a dachshund, pit mix, and Great Pyrenees/Shepherd mix) so I’m very comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve also volunteered at City Dogs for the past year, which has given me experience with dogs of all temperaments, including anxious and high energy pups. I previously cared for a senior rescue dog, so I understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attention they need. I’m also a nurse, which means I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and very attentive to safety and well-being. I also have a 14-year-old cat at home, so I’m comfortable caring for cats and understand their unique personalities, routines, and needs. I treat every dog like my own and focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine! I work part-time as a nurse four days a week and am typically home by around 2pm. This allows me to be available for afternoon walks, evening drop ins, and most weekends, plus I have one weekday fully open each week. For house sitting, the longest I’m away from your home is about 8 hours (including my commute), and I always prioritize making sure pets are comfortable, safe, and well cared for while I’m there. I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay in the environment they know and feel most comfortable in. I do my best to stick closely to their usual routines so everything feels familiar and low stress. I’m very mindful of safety, whether that’s being aware on walks, keeping doors and gates secure, or making sure pets are always supervised. I follow all care instructions carefully and treat your home and pets with the same respect I would my own. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing!!

“Thank you for taking care of Apple!! And also thanks for your flexibility on time to make it easier for me to pick up the keys! I hope you can take care of apple next time as well if I travel out of the state:)”


About: Growing up, we always had animals in the home and I’ve always been passionate about them. I am able to provide genuine care and attention every pet as if they were my own. I want to take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to details. I understand how important your pet is to your family, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. As a recent graduate in transition pet care fits into my routine because it allows me the opportunity to create my own schedule. I have flexibility daily I am home most times of the day and live in a complex with other dogs. I am able to take them to grassy areas and love going on walks
About: Animals have been a part of my life since I was nine years old — and what started as a passion turned into a career. I currently work at an animal hospital as an Animal Care Team Lead, where I’m trusted daily with the safety, health, and well-being of pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From high-energy working breeds to senior dogs who need extra patience, to anxious pups who require calm leadership — I’ve handled it all. My background in both animal daycare and veterinary settings means I’m confident managing group play and behavioral quirks. Your pet won’t just get supervision — they’ll get structured care, enrichment, exercise, and genuine affection. I understand that leaving your pet with someone is a big deal, and I take that trust seriously. Clear communication, updates, and a safe environment are my top priorities. Whether your dog needs playtime, structure, or just a steady, experienced presence — I’m here to provide professional care with a personal touch. I work full-time at an animal hospital, which means I’m around animals every day and very comfortable managing different care routines. My consistent days off are Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, which allows me extended availability for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care. However, I am still available to perform any service every day of the week as long as it's to your furry friends needs. That said, I’m still highly flexible outside of those days. I’m available before and after work for visits, and I do my best to accommodate scheduling needs whenever possible. If you’re unsure about a date or time, feel free to reach out — I’m happy to work with you! Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. Working full-time at an animal hospital has trained me to pay close attention to behavior, body language, and early signs of stress or illness. I take proactive steps to ensure every pet in my care feels secure, comfortable, and respected. I follow each pet’s routine closely — feeding schedules, medication instructions (No injections), exercise needs, and any household rules you have in place. I understand how important consistency is, especially for cats and dogs who thrive on structure. Trust means everything to me. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. When your pet is with me, they’re treated like family — with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care.

Arissa did a fantastic job caring for our senior cat, who requires medical injections. She is a great communicator, detail-oriented and pleasant to work with. She is a self-starter and I was able to relax while we were gone because she did such a good job. Highly recommend!

Bethany was responsible, responsive and just all around amazing with communication/pictures/updates about our kitties. So happy that I didn't have to worry on my trip because I knew she takes such great care of our cats. She is truly a 10 out of 10! I will continue to hire her every team I need a sitter.
