About: Hi there! I’m a full-time teacher with a lifelong passion for animals. Growing up, my home was always filled with pets from dogs, cats, and rabbits to fish, hamsters, and birds! I’m a proud pet parent to my sweet Pug and a very spunky orange tabby cat. I’ve personally used Rover for my own pets and absolutely loved my experiences. For over 10 years, I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors. My profession has given me endless patience, a strong sense of responsibility, and an eye for safety. I treat every animal in my care as I would my own family. Whether your dog wants to get outside and explore on a walk or your cat needs company and cuddles, I’d love to help make sure your adorable pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! My routine gives me wonderful, reliable flexibility to focus on your pets! I’m available early mornings, late afternoons, evenings, and all weekend long. Best of all, I have summers and holidays completely off, my schedule opens up fully for daytime walks, extra cuddles, and dedicated care when you need it most! Safety is always my highest priority! I stay alert, follow your exact routines, secure all doors and gates, keep dogs on sturdy leashes, and ensure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved.
About: Hi! I’m Emily, a pet lover with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and more. I offer dog walking, boarding, daycare, and in-home care, tailoring each visit to your pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or daily exercise, I make sure every furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. I’ve been around dogs and cats for pretty much my whole life. But I have a love for all animals! I know it can sometimes be hard to leave your furry loved ones with a stranger, but I can promise you I will treat them like my own! They’re in good hands(: Let me know if you have any questions! I currently work as a server but am never there past 2pm and I have flexible hours! I’m super flexible with everything so if you have any concerns, reach out to me and I’m sure we can figure it out! I have two friendly cats who love to play and get along with all animals! They also don't mind hanging out in the basement if need be. I've got a large area indoors and outdoors to keep your pet busy or they can relax on the couch! We have a border collie mix pup as well who is friendly with other dogs, but very high energy. so I am able to keep them separate in my home if need be!
“We continue to use Rachel to drop in on our animals while on vacation. She takes wonderful care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats and sends lots of updates and pictures. Thanks again Rachel!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was a kid. I rescued my first baby, Dory, a little over 5 years ago and my heart has never been more full. Since then I have rescued another dog and 2 cats. Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. Taking care of animals is second nature and something I’m truly passionate about. My animals are my world and I am excited to share that love with even more animals. I have a fenced in yard that my 2 dogs love to spend time in. They have an overflowing basket of toys that always seems to be scattered across the house and yard. We take them for walks around the neighborhood and every so often we take them for a hike.
“Lauren visited Foxy every day to take care of her daily needs. It took a couple days for Foxy to warm up to Lauren but after that she got all the loving. Using Lauren was great and we will use her again.”
About: I very much enjoy engaging with and taking care of all types of animals and I have owned and cared for animals since childhood. I have the most experience with cats and dogs but have owned and looked after a range of other pets as well. I can provide the appropriate level of care and attention to your pets that you are looking for and am more than happy to provide as many photos or updates for you to feel good about being away. From puppies to elderly pets I have cared for all ages and types of pets! My goal is to get as many regular clients as possible, so I am very open to working through rates that work for both sides for ongoing or regular services. I have a large SUV so i can also do drop off and pickup if that would be helpful. Because I work from home full-time, I'm able to offer a level of flexibility. I can usually accommodate early mornings, evenings, last-minute requests, and everything in between — just ask! Punctuality and reliability are something I take seriously, so you can always count on me to be there when I say I will. My home is welcoming for all animals and there is an acre and a half in the back with plenty of room to play. I am active and engaged with animals and will make sure any routine or special care requirements are followed.
About: I grew up with pets since I was a child. My parents always had Rottweilers and Labs around, later they added cats to the picture as well. I was the one to walk them, look after them when my family went on vacation, and bathed them. I also have looked after other family members pets while they went away as well. I currently am unemployed, so I am available whenever I am needed to do pet care for you. I am very flexible with any necessary accommodations. I have a 1050 sq ft apartment that is shared with my husband and 3 kitties. They usually are in their room or in ours. They have their own room with all their needs met in there so they will not be bothered by any other pet.

About: My passion for caring for animals began in childhood while growing up on a farm. From a young age, I helped clean stalls, collect fresh chicken eggs each morning, and care for a variety of animals. I was always the kid begging my parents for more pets, and animals quickly became my greatest source of comfort through a tough childhood. I have over 10 years of hands-on experience working on a horse farm, where I learned the value of consistency, safety, and attentive care. In addition, I’ve fostered bottle-baby kittens, assisted my mom in breeding golden retrievers, and helped raise her litters many times. My love for animals has no boundaries — I’ve worked with everything from farm animals to dogs, cats, and even jumping spiders, which I currently breed. I have two dogs of my own — Meme, who is 6, and Pia, who is 3 — and they are my whole heart. They have a daily routine I take seriously: outside time at 6:00 a.m., treats before I head to work, a midday potty break, and an evening 30-minute walk at 5:30 p.m. On weekends, we enjoy adventures at the park or exploring new places. I understand how important structure and routine are for pets, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve provided a wide range of pet care — from weekend stays to week-long vacations — both in my home and in others’. Whether it’s an active pup needing exercise, a senior dog requiring gentle attention, or a young animal that needs extra patience, I’m flexible, attentive, and committed to giving each pet the love, safety, and care they deserve. My pups have an entire routine each day. In the morning they go outside at 6:00 am. I do have a fenced in back yard, so I leave my sliding glass door open so they may come in and out. The get treats in the morning before I go to work. I do return home for lunch to let them out to potty. I return home around 5:30 each day and we go for a 30 minute walk. They get their bedtime treat and we start again the next day. On weekends I do like to take them to the park or on adventures. My pups would love some friends, and sleep overs. I know how important my dogs routine and/or schedules are and I would take your pup’s routine just as seriously. The amount of care I offer for pets on a regular basis always fluctuates. I have had pups for a week long vacation, and I have also had just weekend stays. Various weekends I do stay at others homes and care for their pets. I’m very flexible.
About: I have provided care for many kinds of animals since I was a kid! I grew up caring for dogs, horses, cats, and reptiles, with training experience as well. Friends and family know I love each animal I take care of as my own, and have relied on me for care of any pet! I’ve had dogs as small as a mini dachshund to an english mastiff from ages 6 months until seniority. I am currently taking a rest from the typical 9-5 life. What that means for pet owners, is that their pet’s care is my number one priority throughout the day. I try to stick to a routine they are used to for comfort. I have had pets needing many different types of environments. I can do early morning meds/meals, walks and other enrichment activity’s, and any evening needs! Every animal is special and requires their own care, and I am here to do everything they need for their mental and physical health.

Brianna was punctual, communicative, and very professional. She provided updates during the visit and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. I appreciated her reliability and the time she spent making sure everything was taken care of. I would absolutely book with her again.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Mentor choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
