“Marie was a Godsend! I have never left my 2 cats but wanted to attend a wedding in Mexico. From the moment I met Marie, I knew my fur babies would be in good hands. She sent me pics twice a day and let me know how my girls were doing. Not only do I have a cat sitter, I have a new friend as well :) Marie is loving and responsible and I highly recommend her!!”
“This is my very 1st time using this app. I saw this app in the past and was sceptical about using it, but recently I had an emergency and was rushed to the ER. I was admitted for a 7 days. The 1st 2 days I had help from family and my to help with my dog while I was gone. The 3rd day no one was available, I grew very anxious so I decided to give the app a try. Zoe's reviews eased my anxiety so I messaged her and she was able to go to my home to help my dog. Food wasn't prepared, my nephew misplaced the dog leash... I was sort of embarrassed. Zoe was nothing short of AMAZING❤️!! She was very understanding, prompt, and flexible. She got my fur baby's food together, found her leash, walked her, and sent me updates & photos. She even went the extra mile and brought my mail in the home to prevent a break in and locked the home up everyday. Being sick made me mentally foggy but, Zoe was 10 steps ahead of me covering it ALL. It was a blessing and honor to have her. Having her took a load off where I could just focus on on my health and heal stress free so I could be released. I am very appreciative of Zoe and will be using her again moving forward. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ZOE!!”
“We enjoyed meeting Mariah and she took fantastic care of both of our cats while we were gone on vacation. We had her come by twice a day to feed and play with Scooter and Kris. She stayed in touch with us with questions and photos. You can tell that she enjoys spending time with and taking care of animals. We will definitely be using Mariah’s services again!”
“I loved how CJ gravitated toward Jennifer with complete trust from the first meet. Jennifer was on time, administered oral medicine as instructed, and showered us with the best dog photos we could have never captured. What a wonderful DogSitter 🩵🐶”
“Cassie and her daughter, Grace, were fabulous sitters for our three Havanese. Having used Rover for over a decade for home stays, this time, we needed a sitter for just a few hours, as we visited the NFL Hall of Fame They both showed up on time and made a fabulous first impression and more importantly, our dogs immediately loved them both. They went beyond typical dog sitters with a warmth and care, I wish every dog sitter had. We felt completely comfortable with their care and I think our dogs were even disappointed when we returned. I wholeheartedly recommend Cassie for pet sitting. She's FABULOUS!!! <3”
About: My family has always had three dogs at a time, and most of them were rescues. I have been a dog lover since I was little. Dogs naturally love me. I am between jobs right now, and I want to fill that time doing what I love. Unfortunately, where I currently live does not allow dogs. I follow strict care schedules and have experience with medicated dogs. I am not trained to give injections but I'm willing to learn. My dog used to take seizure medicine daily.
About: I have a background in caring for exotic and household pets. I have had cats growing up ever since I was little and would find strays in our yard, to the current 3 cats in our home now. I had a beagle for over 15 years, and have experience working with dogs in a boarding kennel within a veterinary clinic. I have experience working with a variety of animals including tropical saltwater fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals ranging from crocodiles to sloths and penguins. I currently have 2 lizards, a chameleon and a gecko as well. I have a background in basic training for dogs, birds and reptiles including target feeding and basic commands. I would love to come take care of your furry or scaley friends! I currently have 3 cats and 2 lizards that are taken care of on a daily basis. Each animal has their own schedule and routine that vary from eachother, so extra care is often times needed. I also recently worked for an aquarium for the past 6 years, which I was a supervisor that worked up to 12 hour days taking care of basic and advanced care needs for the animals in our facility. I can give basic medications if needed or bottle feed/syringe. I can let out your dog on a runner or lead if that is preferred. Walks are also fine, given proper training based on the specific needs of the dog. I can provide playtime and enrichment to help with extra energy that needs burned off as well.
About: I have been watching dogs and house sitting for over 5 years. I have also trained a service dog but am not a certified trainer yet! I am going to school full-time and working part time Monday through Thursday till 3:00pm. Free anytime outside of that time frame. Travel back-and-forth from Hubbard to Kent and Columbus quite frequently. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I provide personalized attention, ensuring each pet feels secure and loved in a familiar environment. For in-home dog sitting, I maintain their regular schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. During dog walks, I focus on safe, engaging outings tailored to their energy level and personality. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry family members are happy and well-cared for.
About: I’ve cared for a variety of dogs and cats over the last 10 years. I have also always had dogs of my own; currently have 3 beautiful girls. I love all pets, small to big and young to old. Athletic enough for young ones’ energy and gentle enough for seniors’ care. I have a background in pet health care and have also worked at a kennel in the past. Taking care of your animals wouldn’t even be a service to me; my love for them makes it easy. I work full time, but depending on location would be able to do walks or drop-in visits on my lunch breaks. As well as before or after work, if needed. I am available for house sitting pretty much any day of the week with at least 1-day notice. I have adequate knowledge on when a dog may be feeling stressed or threatened and know how to handle the situation accordingly. I can crate your dogs, if required. I do my absolute best to avoid distractions while on walks.
“✨ 5+ STARS ✨I have much gratitude for Marcy. I had a last minute request for a 2-week job, and she handled it flawlessly and promptly. And this was my very first experience utilizing Marcy’s services. She’s professional, reliable, and clearly adores the furbabies! I’ll definitely contact Marcy for future needs!”
“Shelley was great and so nice. In addition to taking great care of my 2 cats she took care of my chickens too. She offered to water my house plants while I was gone. Will definitely use her again”
“Sara was on time, provided several updates and photos and even offered an extra drop-in visit to make sure our cat was OK during fireworks July 4th. We recommend Sara and plan to hire her again!”
“I was very skeptical to hire outside of family and friends but am so happy I found Shane! Shane scheduled a meet and greet with me at my home to become familiar with my cats and their needs. A week leading up to my trip, he confirmed we were still scheduled to need his assistance, and provided daily updates/pictures while we were away. I cannot recommend Shane enough and happy I've found a trusted pet sitter in my absence. Thank you, Shane!”
“Elli did a great job checking on Lulu during my vacation. I enjoyed receiving photos of Lulu playing with Elli and getting her tuna treat! It made me less worried about leaving her for the first time! I will use Elli again for certain!”
About: I’ve taken care of the dogs in my neighborhood and family for about six years now. I can take care of senior animals and animals recovering from medical procedures. I’m currently in high school, but otherwise, I am mostly home and have a fully open schedule! I will take care of your lovely pets before I leave for school (6:50 am). I return from school at about 3 pm. I have a large yard with an invisible electric fence that I’m willing to walk through if shock collars aren’t an option for your animals. I live with my parents and we also have two dogs of our own— both are very friendly. I can also crate your dogs if needed. My home is smoke free and has a large porch+dog door that way pets can be outside without the risk of getting lost in the neighborhood.

Ash N.
“Ash is absolutely fantastic with dogs! From the very first walk, it was clear how naturally caring and attentive she is. Whether it's a high-energy pup that needs a long walk or a shy dog that needs a gentle hand, Ash always knows just what to do. She's reliable, patient, and truly loves what she does. My dog always comes home happy and well-cared for after spending time with her. I couldn't ask for a better sitter or walker—Ash is a real gem on Rover!”
Jessica Z.
“From the moment we booked with Jessica, we knew our pet was in great hands. She was prompt, professional, and most importantly—kind and incredibly attentive to our pet’s needs. Jessica went above and beyond with regular updates, photos, and detailed notes that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our dog took to her right away, which says a lot because he can be a bit shy with new people. She clearly has a natural connection with animals and treats them like her own. When we came home, he was calm, happy, and well cared for—exactly what every pet parent hopes for! Jessica is reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely loves what she does. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend!”

I would trust her with my dog any day!”
