“Emily is an exceptional caregiver and stellar communicator. This was our first time leaving our little pup and Emily very much set us at ease. She adapted to challenges using logic and kindness and appropriately filled out Rover cards with helpful and joyful updates. We felt very comfortable with her being in our home and watching over our baby. Emily was also on time for every scheduled visit - she never left us wondering when she would be coming. We would highly recommend using Emily for any dog watching/walking needs you may have.”
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 super comfortable with all sorts of dogs and I know how to deal with the chaos they come with! I am currently working part time, so I have much time to take care of your pet! 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!
“Christiana was a great doggy sitter for my senior Pug. He has limitarions and Christiana was great with him. She sent me updates and pics if him outside and eating. It was a relief to know that I did not have to worry about him while I was out of town. I feel like Gilbert and I both made a new friend. I would definitely recommend Christiana as a "must" while making your selection. I will be a regular customer.”
“We had Breon come to our home for drop in visits with our golden retriever while we were on vacation. She came three times a day and spent a lot of time with him! She sent us many photos and videos which we loved. We came back to a very happy and calm boy. Breon also did a few things around the house to be helpful, we didn’t even have to ask. She was fantastic and we highly recommend her! We will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Madalyn did a great job with my 2 cats! She helped me when I needed someone extremely last minute, sent me numerous updates with pictures and videos, and helped me feel so at ease! I would absolutely use her again 🐾❤️”
About: I’ve around dogs my whole life and would love the opportunity to help take care of yours! Experienced caring for senior dogs, hyper active dogs, and dogs with anxious attachment I currently work a full time corporate remote job and do not have children so I can be available in the mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends I treat the clients home as my own and follow any instructions to a tee. I’m also an advocate for sending photos and communicating updates to the client
“Maddie was wonderful with Roxy! Roxy can be a little hesitant with meeting new people, but she warmed right up to Maddie. She did everything we requested and we loved the photos!”
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!
“Lilly was a great, attentive sitter. Our earliest comminications showed enthusiasm and a genuine interest in the well being of my pet. All of her questions were thoughtful and demonstrated her knowledge of how to care for pets. When I was gone, her check ins were always thorough.”
“Arrived on time and took my pup for the longest walk to wear him out! He loved her so much and didnt want her to leave! So thankful to have a trustworthy person that my pup loves!”
