I can say without any reservation that Dee is the finest Rover Sitter I’ve had the pleasure of engaging. She communicates very well on arrival times (I was in at home recovering from a fractured leg bone during our entire booking), is 100% reliable, sincere, pleasant, and positive, truly interested in Buddy’s experience, attentive to every detail, and most of all; Buddy LOVED her! That’s no faint praise as while Buddy is a super-friendly good boy, he just doesn’t warm up to anyone easily. Watching him happily parade out the door with Dee was truly astonishing - like he’d known her his whole life! I cannot say enough good about how Dee handled everything for Buddy, and how easy she made the time I spent recovering, because I had ZERO concerns for how Buddy was being treated.

About: Pets have always been a part of my life. I have years experience training and taking care of my own pets, everything from dogs, and cats to snakes, and rabbits and everything in between. I am a go-to petsitter for neighbors and friends and family. I worked for a doggie daycare for a little over a year. I currently am a certified dog groomer on the weekends and a stay at home dog mom during the week, so I have plenty of time for your fur, feather, and scale babies. I currently work part time on the weekends, I have plenty of time to check on your fur babies and get their energy out while you are away during the week. I have a bearded dragon, rabbits, and two dogs who are my babies, oh and chickens! My dogs are treated like family and are spoiled everyday I cant wait to do the same for yours. I am very good at paying attention to detailed care instructions and maintaining an established routine for your pet while also giving them plenty of love and care while you are away.

Marie is THE best. She took excellent care of our senior cat while we were on vacation. He needs several meds and an asthma inhaler (YES! on a cat) and not only did she do a great job, but our sometimes shy little guy just loved her! She sent lots of feedback and photos and we were able to relax on our trip knowing he was in excellent hands! I appreciated her attention to detail, promptness, excellent communication and most of all how she truly cared for Monnie:)

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life and I’ve been taking care of other people’s pets since I was in high school and have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My goal is to provide dependable care and regular updates so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m a stay at home mom with a husband who works remote so I’m very flexible! This allows me to provide consistent care, frequent potty breaks, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Your pet will receive plenty of supervision and companionship while in my care. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided. I always keep pets supervised, ensure doors and gates are secure, and pay close attention during walks and outdoor time. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

Katarina was amazing! She really cares about the pets she is watching. She was fantastic watching our kitten and senior kitty for an entire week. I loved receiving the photos after each check in and it looked like the kitties were having a blast. She made sure each cat was comfortable and received the care they needed. Thank you for being such a wonderful cat sitter!! It helped ease our nerves while being away for so long!

About: Hi! My name is Elle and I have been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! I have had dogs my whole life and currently take care of my 10-year-old retriever mix, Rory. I have dogs of all sizes and all different breeds. I have never had problems with any dogs nor had any issues. I feel that I stand out because I have a natural love for dogs and will love your animal like they are my own. I have taken care of dogs of all ages and am comfortable with all of them. I love to be outside, whether it be playing, walking, going on runs, etc. I hope you choose me the next time you are looking for someone to take extra good care of your animals!

About: I have been taking care of dogs most of my life. I am 57. I have done dog training and agility with 2 of our dogs. I have had a puppy and dealt with Senior dogs too. I love to give our dog lots of attention with play time, walking and outdoor activities. I love to take walks and go to other parks too. With the owner's permission, I love to go to the dog park-Bow Wow dog park and the Akron Dog Park. I give your furry one lots of attention with play time-throwing toys-playing fetch with a ball or toy. Letting them have backyard time. We have a fenced in back yard for the dogs to be free. I also will brush your dog and pet them and give them attention, while you are away. I will treat your dog like he/she is my own dog. Another place I will take dogs is Petsmart or Pet Supplies Plus for social interaction and exercise. I am at home and available most days. We have a 20 year-old Son, who also loves dogs! My Husband helps out too, with walks and letting the dogs out in our backyard and is a dog person. Currently, I am not working. I have a knee problem and some medical issues that prevent me from working full time. I have plenty of time to take care of your dog. We love to take walks and go to the dog parks. However, if you prefer your dog not to go to the dog park, that is fine. We could go on walks and let your dog go outside in our backyard. We have lots of dog toys, bones, balls, etc... I do have a walk thru pet gate that I set up to block off the kitchen and dining room area. We will feed our dog and your dog separately in separate rooms. I love to brush and pet dogs. If needed, we could bath your dog too. We are a "dog" type family, that is our preference. We have had fish, hamsters and also a guinea pig in the past. I grew up with a cat in our home, as a child. We will throw ball and toys for the dogs and play with your dog. We have a small crate that is in our garage, however we don't usually use the crate. If we leave the home, depending on the situation, if your dog is destructive or chewing on furniture or other items, then we will crate your dog when we leave for church or a short errand. If you have a calm dog and the dog is not destructive and well mannered, then your dog could stay in the family room area, unless you prefer that your dog is in his crate. We will use 2 dog gates near our steps to go upstairs. We prefer that our dog and other dogs do not go upstairs. As a House Sitter, I would do any needed cleaning up of any messes I make. I would be bringing my own food, as I am gluten free and dairy free. The only thing I would need is some freezer and frigerated space for my food. I would follow your normal routine for your dog or dogs. I do have occasional Dr and therapy appointments, fyi. We have a home in Akron, with a fence in our backyard. We live near a forest, it is a quiet area. We have a small neighborhood, where the street dead ends to a forest. We don't get drive thru traffic, that use our area as a "short cut".

About: I’ve been a dog lover since about the age of 10 when we got my family dog, Shadow, a cockapoo. As a kid and while growing up, I even trained Shadow to compete in agility competitions and took him to training weekly while also practicing with him in the backyard! When I moved out, I got my own fur baby- a golden doodle named Bubity! Obsessed doesn’t even begin to describe how much I love my dog as I have a water bottle, pair of slippers, shorts and sweatshirt with him on it! I promise to treat your dog as if they’re are my own! I’m currently working part time as a nurse while also attending classes virtually for my masters. My schedule changes weekly but I usually know it about a month in advance! I am pretty flexible on my days off and and willing to work with you in order to help take care of your fur baby! I have a fully fenced in yard and my 1 golden doodle at home. I am more than happy to host your dog for play dates in our yard. I know how hard it is to get a routine set with your dog whether it be something as simple as turning the TV on before leaving the house, walking a specific route to get them to go potty or giving them a special treat when they’re going to be left alone. Whatever your routine is, let me know and I will follow it to its entirety!

Monica did a great job. My pups (2 frenchies) were like two little guard dogs but Monica won them over. She cleaned all the food items and picked up the den were the pups spent their nights. Your always a little scared at first with someone you dont know but Monica was a superstar. I will use again. Thanks Monica !

We cannot thank Gabrielle enough for the incredible care she provided for our senior dog, Rocco. Taking care of a dog with mobility issues and a wheelchair is no small task, but Gabrielle handled it with such grace and compassion. From the moment she met him, her positive attitude, warm demeanor, and generosity were on full display. She was remarkably flexible with our schedule and treated Rocco as if he were her own. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was with someone so patient and kind. We thank her from the bottom of our hearts for her exceptional care and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly cares about animals.

Jason watched our cat while we were gone for a week and half. During that time we got lots of updates, photos and our cat got lots of attention and play. He even put the radio on so she wouldn’t feel as alone in our usually noisy house. It was great peace of mind to know she was well taken care of while we were gone.
