“Shannon has been both a cat sitter and dog walker for us. When we went on vacation, she went above and beyond to not only take care of the kitties, but all the little extra things I asked her to help me with. She also walked and played with our pup when we had a last minute day trip. Reliable, friendly, and takes great photos as well!!!”
“Kristi is wonderful! My puppy: Gordie immediately loved her which made me feel very comfortable. She has excellent communication and taught me how to see her walking route on the rover app. I have already rebooked with her and will continue to do so!”

About: 🐾 About Me 🐾 With over 10 years of experience in pet care, I bring a compassionate, knowledgeable approach to working with dogs of all breeds and personalities. My background includes certification as a pet groomer, but my real passion lies in helping dogs, especially puppies, develop confidence, good manners, and a love for life through positive training and enrichment. I’ve worked extensively with puppies of all types, including high-energy breeds, rescues, and those needing extra patience and care. My approach is tailored, gentle, and focused on building trust and long-term success. Whether it’s basic training, socialization, or just making pets feel safe and loved, I’m dedicated to giving every dog the best possible care and attention. I have plenty of time in my schedule daily and weekly to offer pet care services, I have a flexible schedule and can easily manage many pet care opportunities. How I care for pets in your home is very much based on the normal schedule of your pet and what time they eat, sleep, play or go potty. I try my best to keep the routine as normal as possible so the pet feels as comfortable as possible while owners are away.
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, gerbils, and fish! I grew up with 4 dogs and currently have 1 cat. I have experience raising a feral kitten, so I definitely understand our furry ones have unique needs! I’d love to drop in to check on your pets or take your pets for a walk :) I currently work full time, so I am available most weekends. At this time, I ask that requests be submitted 1 week in advance of the drop-in/dog walking date in order to allow time to coordinate a meet and greet. Message me if you need someone urgently during the weekday, I’ll see if I can make it work! I’m a big advocate for playtime! One of the best things for any animal is bonding with their owners. The best way to do this is playtime or simply being in the same room as your pet (whichever they prefer). I’ve used Rover services for my own pets in the past, and absolutely love the platform!
“I couldn't be more pleased with the exceptional care Renee provides for my pet. Her dedication and genuine affection for animals shine through in every visit.

She goes above and beyond to keep me updated with photos and messages, making me feel at ease while I'm away. I wholeheartedly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter and dog walker!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—and I wouldn’t have it any other way. During my childhood I’ve had 3 energetic pitbulls and a senior cockapoo.

I am mostly available before 5pm on weekdays or before 4pm on weekends if I am working, but on other days I am completely free! I will be attentive to your dog/cat and their needs! I will make they use the bathroom multiple times during my visit, and they are entertained! I would love to chill with your pet!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 10 years old. I cannot remember a time in my life where I did not have a pet whether it was a cat or a dog. My love for animals started at a very young age I’ve grown up with rescue dogs and cats and when I turned 18 I rescued a dog of my own. She’s 11 years old now and she is the highlight of my day along with my five year-old rescue cat I’ve been trusted with friends and families pets when they’ve been out of town or on vacation and have always enjoyed my time spent with other animals. I have care experience with senior dogs as well as puppies. I also have experience giving oral medication and topical medication to dogs and cats.

I take care of my pets as well, insuring they are fed, walked and played with every single day and would love to incorporate your animal into my daily routine !

I am used to changing a litter box picking up after animals, feeding them, changing their water and doing whatever is in your day-to-day task for your animals I would love to walk with your fur baby or even snuggle up on the couch with them!

About: I have been watching family and friends dogs & cats for over 7 years! I have also worked with Bill the Dog Walker of Cleveland! I am an entrepreneur & I make my own schedule so there shouldn’t be anything that will get in the way of my dog-sitting schedule! Unfortunately I can’t dog-sit at my home because I have two cats but I am comfortable staying at owners houses over night or stopping in frequently if you’re close enough! & I will always send you high quality pictures and videos of your dog or cat!

Currently work remote, Very flexible schedule, Love going outside and taking dogs for walks great way for us to explore and enjoy nature whenever we can. I have 2 cats of my own, we enjoy playing with toys and eating treats as cats do. My goal to make sure you’re aware that your pups in good hands and will get plenty of belly rubs ( of course if that’s what they like )
About: Hi, I’m Alex! I live in Lakewood, Ohio, and work from home full-time, which means your pup will get plenty of love, attention, and care throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to be fully present with the dogs I watch—whether that’s extra playtime, regular potty breaks, or simply being a comforting presence throughout the day. I’ve always been a dog person and genuinely love spending time with them. I’ve had my dog, Bruno, for a little over two years now. He’s friendly, playful, and loves meeting other dogs. We have a fully fenced-in backyard that’s perfect for safe, supervised play and outdoor relaxation. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a good sniff around the yard, or lounging in the sun, there’s always room for fun here. Over the past few months, I’ve started dog sitting more regularly, and it’s been a great experience getting to know dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog is staying overnight, popping in for a visit, or hanging out for daycare, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I know how important it is to feel confident when leaving your dog with someone new, and I’m here to make sure both you and your pup feel completely comfortable and cared for. I work from home, so I can easily manage having a dog with me during the day or after work if needed. It’s a big part of my routine. I have plenty of space inside and out for completely supervised play, but I also had my dog professionally- trained for over a year so that he could be around other dogs in a variety of settings. The training was just as much for me as it was for Bruno!
About: Ever since my parents adopted their staffy mix, Cali, my love for dogs has grown. I have experience with pet sitting for many breeds including staffies, aussies, goldens, etc. I currently live with a Belgian Malinois that loves to bark and has lots of energy. I love to cuddle and play but am also fine with giving personal space to your furry friends if they prefer that! I have been an animal lover since birth. I strive to provide your companion with the most comfortable and loving experience while you are away! I currently work at an office 3 days a week, so I have plenty of time to drop-in on your pets or house sit when needed. I have a lot of weekend availability! I hate leaving pets home alone, so while you are away, I will do everything I can to ease your anxiety. I do not currently offer pet sitting in my own home. I am happy to stay at your house and keep your companion's schedule/routine as close to normal as possible! I love detailed instructions and would be happy to send you as many updates throughout the day as you want.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life! I am very comfortable caring for all breeds and ages. I have experienced attending training courses and administering daily medication to pets! I currently work full-time but my early mornings, evenings, and weekends are free. I have an hour lunch that is flexible throughout the day M-F. Saturday and Sundays are flexible. Your pet will feel safe and comfortable with me. I love all animals and would always treat any pet like they are one of my own!

Allison D.
“Allie is my first choice to take care of my pets! She on many occasions has watched my two dogs and cat. I entrusted her to take care of my animals while on longer travel nurse assignments and she makes up for the love to my animals when I cannot be there! She goes above and beyond. She is compassionate, responsible and friendly. She would be an extraordinary animal sitter.”
Kaylee L.
“Kaylee began pet sitting for me when she was in high school. Even years ago, she was attentive, trustworthy, and extremely responsible. She is the only individual I trust to enter my home and take care of my pets. She loved my dog as it was her own, up until the day she passed. She is still the biggest supporter of my fat orange cat Bubba! If I felt there was ever a time I could not take care of him because of my health, she would be the first person I would call. To her core, she is a pet advocate, she does not see our furry friends as animals, but as equals. There is none other like her.”

Yaritza F.
“I used Yaritza's "sitter" services recently and was very pleased with the overall experience. I've had my dog for 9 years and this was the very first time I've left him to go on vacation so I was a bit apprehensive. She stayed at my place for the entire 4th of July weekend to make sure he was well cared for which included keeping him company, feedings, walks, potty outings and a fun trip to the park. She sent pics and kept me updated throughout her stay. Had I not known she was there, I wouldn't have guessed anyone was even there since she left my place exactly as I left it. Clean and tidy. I feel she is a very responsible and loving caretaker. Highly recommend!!”
Lexi J.
“Lexi has taken care of my 2 cats and dog for years now. My pets absolutely love her! She is so sweet and caring to them and treat them as her own.”
Alexander I.
“Alex is a wonderful and incredibly loving pet caregiver. He goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for—whether it's through walks, spoiling with treats, or just spending quality time with them. Alex's calm, kind energy makes him a favorite for my little pup.”

“I used Ashley to help me on the days when my usual Rover wasn’t available. I’ve known her for a long time and know that she has always had a love of dogs. She also has a ton of experience with dogs, as she’s always had multiple dogs from childhood on. She even went above and beyond and cleaned up any accidents that occurred. I’d recommend her to everyone:)”

Lakewood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Claudia was fantastic. I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my pit bull, Neo, to Claudia for his daily walks, and I couldn't be more impressed with her service. Claudia is not only punctual and reliable, but she also has a natural affinity with dogs that is truly remarkable. From the very first meeting, it was clear that Claudia is easy to communicate with and genuinely cares about the well-being of the pets she looks after. She took the time to understand my dog's specific needs and preferences, ensuring that each walk was tailored to his energy level and temperament. She was also able to get some of his daily training done while on walks. My dog absolutely adors her, which speaks volumes about her ability to connect with animals. Claudia's professionalism and dedication have given me complete peace of mind, knowing that my dog is in capable and loving hands. I highly recommend Claudia to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.
We booked a walk with Rachel for our puppy, who is also special needs. Rachel took amazing care of her, comforted our special girl and even took the time to make sure our senior dog got a potty break outside too. We would recommend her services and will be booking with her again in the future!
Madison has been great! This is my first time using Rover and I’ve been so happy with the outcome! Humphrey has been getting more exercise and getting the attention and belly rubs he deserves while I’m at work! Highly recommend Madison! She’s been reliable, great at communication, professional and on time.
John (Jack) is a wonderful person. Our dog loves seeing him come and hang out with him during the work day. Very reliable in terms of dog sitters/walkers.
Sarah was flexible and accommodating when we needed a last minute walker! She is kind and thorough and our pup seemed to enjoy his walk with her :)
Mariah words can’t describe the care you exult for Bronx. It’s very comforting when he’s in your care. Thank you so very much for everything you do!
