“We greatly appreciated Livana staying with our Tank. He was so happy to go on walks and play with his toys while we were away. Livana took great care of him. She sent us updates and pictures the entire time and we couldn’t thank her enough.”


“Ronnie is such an amazing dog sitter! She came in and asked everything she could to get to know Duncan and even did a visit prior to our needed services! She went above and beyond to take care of Duncan and make sure he had everything he needed. Definitely recommend her and will be using her services again!”


“Cara did a great job with three larger dogs. Two lap Labs and an old boxer mix. Our concern was how the old boxer would get along with her. Cola immediately warmed up and Cara gave us regular updates through photos. I'd recommend her.”


“So lucky we found Cindy! Cindy was the perfect dog sitter for my moody little guy. He was immediately taken with her and Cindy did a great job at getting Brownie to feel confortable with her. I was out of town for four days and felt very comfortable leaving Brownie with Cindy. I got regular text messages and pictures of Brownie updating me about their day. I’ll definitely reach out to Cindy again the next time we go out of town.”


About: Hi, I’m Tate a lifelong animal lover with experience as unique as the pets I care for! I grew up surrounded by animals—horses, dogs, geese, and barn cats—and I’ve been a trusted sitter for everything from puppies to parrots, bottle babies to bearded dragons. I have a special heart for pets with extra needs, including those with anxiety, reactivity, or medical concerns. I’m experienced with insulin administration, glucose monitoring, and special meal prep—your pet’s routine is safe with me. While my husband was serving in the Air Force, I spent four years caring for military families’ pets near Dyess AFB while completing my college degree. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, chickens, exotics—you name it, I’ve probably cuddled it! I genuinely feel like I speak their language. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or needs a little extra TLC, I’ll meet them where they’re at—with love, patience, and lots of care. Pet care isn’t just something I fit into my routine—it’s something my routine feels incomplete without. After earning my degree in graphic design and moving across the country, I had to say goodbye to the fur family I sat for in Texas. That shift made me realize just how much joy and purpose pet sitting brought to my everyday life. These days, I work from home on flexible, self-paced art and design projects, which means I have the freedom to take breaks, make visits, and give pets the attention they deserve—whether it’s a midday walk, medication, or just some much-needed love. Caring for animals brings balance and warmth to my day, and I genuinely look forward to every tail wag, meow, chirp, or cuddle. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, my top priority is maintaining their usual routine and environment to minimize stress and keep them feeling safe and secure. I take time to understand each pet’s specific needs, whether that’s playtime outside, quiet companionship, or extra TLC for pets who are shy or reactive. My approach is experience-focused—I’m not just there to check a box, but to make sure your pets are truly cared for and comforted while you’re away. I also believe in leaving your home as tidy (or better!) than you left it. I often vacuum or sweep, take out the trash, bring in mail, and keep up with litter boxes, enclosures, and yard clean-up. My goal is to provide total peace of mind—both for your pets and for you.

About: I have taken care of family pets since I was young. As I grew older, I adopted my own pets and have volunteered in animal shelters as well. I have always had dogs and cats in my life and it has grown to guinea pigs and a bearded dragon. I'm able to give baths, do walks, and bathroom breaks and provide ample amounts of play time. I am available for Labor Day weekend! I am also a full time stay at home mother so currently all of my days and times of the week are free and open, even weekends. I let all of my animals on my furniture if they want in my home. They all have their special homes and spots where they can be in peace until they come out with the rest of the family. My home is kept clear of dangerous items, tiny small toys for example that pets might eat.

“Cyndi is amazing! I have a dog aggressive/ reactive dog and she was not hesitant to house sit with her! She sends pictures of your pup with updates and has amazing communication and courtesy! My boyfriend and I are new to the area and don’t have family or many friends here, but someone suggested Rover to us and I am so thankful I found Cyndi. My dog loves her, and she will forever have the best of friends with Cyndi and her sweet amazing daughter!:)”


About: Hello families! My name is Tanner. I am currently majoring in psychology at Youngstown State University. I graduated from Ursuline High School in 2022. I have much experience pet sitting for many neighbors and different families. I have experience administering medications to different pets and can follow schedules well. I can provide references and background clearances upon request. I am available for drop in visits and overnight stays for pets that might need a little extra love! Feel free to reach out with any questions! I am looking to be a pet sitter full time or drop ins Saturdays and Sundays. I am flexible with my schedule so we can work out any times needed I make sure they get lots of love, pets, and plenty of exercise or playtime but ultimately whatever the dog needs is what I will stick with.

About: Passionate Pet Caregiver with Years of Tail-Wagging Experience With over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, I’ve dedicated myself to providing loving, attentive, and reliable care. For as long as I can remember, I have always had a furry friend as part of my family. From playful pups to finicky felines (and everything in between), I treat every pet like family. My love and care extends beyond four legs, as I am currently pursing a degree in nursing!Whether it’s daily walks, cuddles, or special needs care like medication administration, your furry friend is in trusted hands! I am currently pursing a degree for nursing, and work part-time as a waitress. I am an early bird by heart, but have been shifted to a night owl because of my work schedule. I love to tend to my fur babies in the morning, waking my four-legged friend and setting a positive attitude for the day with exercise and natural vitamin D! Play time is an around the clock must. Any morning, afternoon, or evening, I am the girl to care for your four-legged friends! Any routine they need, I am very adaptable. I am very comfortable with all sizes of dogs and cats, willing to crate, administer medication, exercise, play, and snuggle. I am more than willing to follow and routine needed for you and your family. Play dates, walks, feeding, and even the not so fun clean up side of pet care!

About: I don’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t taking care of animals! Whether it be while growing up or starting to dogsit/walk in high school, there was never a time a fur baby wasn’t relying on me. And I wouldn’t have it any other way! I have a flexible schedule which allows me to help out with my friends and families animals, as well as volunteer for local animal shelters. I have experience with dogs of all ages and levels of care. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with your pet (I have used Rover myself when I go out of town) so I assure you I will provide the kind of care and attention to your pet that I would want given to my own! :) I’m currently working part time. My job offers flexible hours, so I have the opportunity to accommodate whatever schedule you and your pet require. :) I will happily go over what your pets routine is and abide by whatever you’re most comfortable with! If your dog is used to being walked at certain times, crated, etc. The well being and safety of your animal is my upmost concern so whatever you need me to do to guarantee that, is what I’ll do!

About: I’ve taken care of animals, specially dogs since I was 5. I am also a licensed veterinary technician and on my way to become a veterinarian. I recently moved and I have plenty of time in taking care of dogs as I am studying from home. I am preparing for vet school I usually play with dogs in their free time while they don’t sleep. As I mentioned earlier I am studying from home and preparing for vet school.

About: I've helped care for and train all sorts of animals, from indoor pets to farm animals, my entire life, and I love it! I like to make sure furry friends feel safe and enjoy their time with me, whether that means a running around to get some energy out or a relaxing rub. It would be my delight to tailor my care to your desires and your fur-baby's needs so everyone has a great experience and you can enjoy a worry-free trip. **If I am unavailable for one day out of your multiday booking, I may be able to adjust things and am open to bring contacted about it. I'm currently a medical student, so I am mostly free in the early morning, late afternoon, and evening. However, I have many days and weeks when my I am available at different times. Let's discuss your precise needs and my availability to meet them! I believe in following the house rules, spoiling the animals if that's the preference and reinforcing rules they need to abide by (e.g., not being allowed on furniture). I will be vigilant to keep your fur-baby out of trouble while making sure they get the exercise or socialization they need during my visit!

“Haley is amazing! The communication before and during our stay was perfect. She was so patient and kind with our anxious girls. She sent many pictures, videos, and updates throughout the stay. We felt very comfortable and happy knowing they were safe with her, and we returned to very happy and loved puppies.”


About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I can not remember a time in my life that I didn't have a furry friend (or 2) I just really enjoy having them around. Learning their personalities is a challenge sometimes but its a challenge I enjoy. I have experience in most breeds as well. I understand that some dogs need more/less then others. I will follow your friends needs, and your instructions. I am currently a stay at home mom so I can work my schedule around your furry friend and your needs. I am only gone a short time to take my daughter to and from school during the school year. I live in home with a pretty decent sized backyard. I also have 2 huskies of my own who love to have new friends over. If for some reason they do not get along (because just like humans, that can happen) your furry friend will come first and my dogs will go ahead and spend time in their crates. I can also crate your friend if that is what you would like. I have no problem leaving my sliding door open for the dogs to go in and out on their own. I enjoy sitting outside and playing with my dogs, as well as yours. There is also a dog park not too far from me that I would take your friend to if that is something that you would like for me to do. I understand that sometimes dogs need a break from each other as well. They are definitely furry humans when it comes to their needs/wants/feelings. If your friend has a special diet, feeding time, or even a potty schedule I will follow that as well.

About: I have had pets my entire life, so I know exactly what it’s like to take care of them. I have also taken care of cats, dogs, parrots, bunnies, fish, and turtles! Your pets care means a lot to me. I have also dealt with older animals and given pets medication as well. I have two dogs and two cats, so pet care means a lot to me. I am very familiar with how to properly take care of animals. When it comes to taking care of pets, I make sure even during my busy schedules to give them as much love as possible. I always make sure I feed animals the exact amount, and when they are scheduled to get fed. I also make sure to follow every accommodation owners set in place for me to follow.

Taylor C.Star Sitter
“Taylor has watched our pups for a few years and out of all the pet sitters we’ve had over 10+ years she was the absolute BEST!! She’s so attentive, made sure our animals were fed, got plenty of play and snuggles in. Her communication is unmatched. We knew what was going on with our animals like if we were there. If there was anything wrong she made sure to let us know immediately. Our animals are a crazy bunch and they all loved her. It made our trips so much easier knowing she was watching our animals because we knew they were in great hands!!”


Melissa V.
“I am a little late in getting out this review, but in no way was it because I was disinterested or not wanting to do so..On the contrary, I absolutely felt the need to write this because of the loving service I felt my family had received from this Pet Sitter. Our family has 2 pets, a dog(Susy) and a cat(Milu) and like most on this site, we deem them to be our precious little babies. They never have really been away from the family for any great length of time, so finding someone to watch and care for them was very important to us. My family was to be in South America for a week, while I was away from home that same time for my work. I had found a Pet Sitter very close to our home for Susy, but could not find anyone for Milu. After much searching, I realized the Rover website and there found numerous Pet Sitters available for Milu. After much searching, we were able to procure the services of a Sitter on Rover and set the contract. Then, with 1 week before our departure, the contractor informed us that she had to cancel our reservation because of health issues in her immediate family and would not be in the area during the needed time. That really put us in dilemma to find someone in such short time. So we searched the Rover site and found several, but all the family agreed to contact Melissa... There were several things that greatly impressed us about Melissa. First there were the reviews. While there were not many, Melissa's reviews were actually very accurate and factual about the care that our Milu would receive. They spoke of the great love she had for animals, as we all experienced firsthand. As I had mentioned, our babies had not been away from us and Milu is very timid with strangers. So, we were surprised when we actually brought her to Melissa and after Milu s brief inspection of her new abode (Lol), she was right there, on the couch and happy as can be. I know that animals sense our love for them and I was amazed at how comfortable she was at that time. Later photos, which Melissa sent through the week, also confirmed how tranquil our precious niña was. In fact, when I returned a week later for Milu, she went to Melissa, not to me and she actually cried when I took her away. That experience was special to me and I knew then that our family had made the correct decision in choosing Melissa. Another proof to me that Milu was very comfortable there, was how she interacted with Melissa's young son. Normally, she runs and hides from children, but the pictures showed her actively playing with the boy! I have never seen her do this with any other children, but my own. I can think of no other magic that could have done that, but love. Yes, I am and family are so pleased with the decision we made to contract Milu's care with Melissa. I think that anyone who loves their pet would also have the same impressions with Melissa's care. I almost never write reviews, but felt the need to express my thoughts and feelings with this one. Thank you Melissa for taking care of our Milu! And, I actually do think that Milu misses you!!!!”

Tanner S.
“Tanner (and her mom) have been caring for our dogs for about a year now. We have three big dogs and they provide them exceptional care and company when we are away. Our Aussie has a serious medical condition that requires time sensitive medication around the clock and I can always trust that she is getting them on time. Tanner comes over regularly for drop ins and med administration during the work week and has dog sat over night for up 12 days while we are away on vacation. Highly recommend!”


Nakkiya-Rose P.
“Nakkiya is amazing with my dogs!! She walks in the door and they get so excited to see her!! I know anytime they need her she will help us out!! I highly recommend her as she is so caring and sweet with both my dogs❤️.”

Jasmine C.
“Jasmine is the perfect pet caregiver! She's dog-sat for us on multiple occasions and not only provides excellent care, but she plays with and loves on our pup like she were her own. Jasmine is responsible, flexible, intuitive, and the exact kind of person pet owners would want to care for their furry family members. She is one of my dog's favorite people and any pet would be lucky to have her!”
