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.
About: My husband and I have loved getting to dog sit for friends and family. When we heard about rover we got so excited! My husband and I are both runners and are happy to take the dogs we watch on runs/ walks and hikes. We also have enjoyed our new home which came with a fenced in yard. Giving the dogs freedom to run and play is so fun to watch! Every dog we watch feels right at home and we love to cuddle with each and every one. I am currently a stay at home mom for my 5, 4 and 2 year old and think your pup will fit in just right with our fun crew. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I am currently working part time, and I have plenty of time to work your pup into our daily routine. We have three kiddos at home so a routine is something our family thrives on. We have a beautiful fenced in backyard with lots of room to run and play. We also have a crate that can be utilized if need be. There is an extra room we use for dogs to be able to take a break if need be.
About: I’m available for round-the-clock care this summer! I am a music teacher during the school year but I love taking care of animals as well. I can care for any type of animal, I’m always down to learn about new and interesting pets too! I’m available almost 24/7 this summer since I’m a teacher and have summers off. I’m hoping to get plenty of walks in not only for the animals but also myself! I am able to provide consistent care around the clock if needed. I can follow directions for feeding, medication administration, and bathroom needs. I love walking dogs and hanging out with cats!
About: Hi! I’m Erin, an Ohio State graduate with over 10 years of pet sitting experience, specializing in dog/cat care. I offer both drop-in visits and overnight stays, with a big focus on making sure your pet stays in their normal routine. I’m confident handling different sizes, temperaments, and leash behaviors, and always prioritize safety and consistency. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I bring. I’m very detail-oriented and tuned in to behavior, so I pick up quickly on what makes each dog comfortable. I keep communication clear and consistent with updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I also keep things clean, calm, and organized in your home during visits or overnight stays. I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have two cats of my own, so I truly understand the trust that goes into leaving your pet with someone. With years of building my long term clientele, I can assure you your pets will be treated like my own everytime! My goal is to make your dog or cat feel secure, cared for, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone reliable who goes beyond the basics, I’d love to connect and meet your pets:) I have dedicated my days and weekends to providing loving care for animals! I’m fortunate to have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet sitting a priority in my day to day life. Most of my experience has been pet sitting in the owners home or drop ins! I provide overnight services as well. Since I have 2 cats of my own, I would allow dogs to stay at my home if they have experience being around cats. I am dedicated to making each animal feel as comfortable as possible and making sure they feel loved while you are away.
“Brittany was great, she came in while I was working and took Fermin for his walks, always reporting everything. You can tell how happy Fermin was to be around her ! I will definitely book her again!”

“Marie is fantastic! She promptly arrived on time. My dog loves her. She fed my fish,too. The interaction between them was all positive. Many posting of Truman were made, even videos. This gave me comfort and joy to see my boy happy while I'm away.”


About: I love animals & enjoy tending to their needs. Whether I have to trick them to take meds, walk or play fetch, I love it. I usually clean houses in the mornings, but I always make time for pets! I offer drop in visits, play time, feedings, & overnight stays. I prefer to watch pets at their home so they feel comfortable & don’t have to endure too many changes. They’ll be right at home.
About: Hello, I am very experienced with dogs, cats and other animals as I have been caring for animals since I was young. I am very patient, kind and have a compassion for all animals. I love hiking and taking long generous walks with dogs and spending time outdoors in the fresh air. I am responsible, trustworthy and will care for your pet as if they were my own. My love runs deep for all creatures. I currently have a cleaning business but really would love more quality time with all creatures! Animals are my passion and I adore caring for animals of all kinds. I am a tidy and considerate guest in your home when i come to care for your beloved pets. They are like family and i truely belive that! I will care for your pet like my own!
About: Since I was young, I’ve always had a pet. After college I finally got a pet of my own and they’ve just multiplied over the years! Dogs are my specialty - I’ve taken care of dogs belonging to friends and family & I’ve trained both of my dogs since they were puppies. I’d say what sets me apart from others is that I have plenty of time in the afternoons (and any time during the weekend) to take care of your pup because my job ends early in the day unlike a 9-5 job. I have years of experience under my belt and I just really love animals. Always have and always will! As a teacher, I am always home early on the weekdays so I’ll have plenty of time every afternoon to play with & walk your dog! I am available any time on the weekends and I can board Fri-Sun. My husband and I have a big fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company! We are firm believers in lots of walks, lots of playtime, and positive reinforcement. If needed, we can provide a crate as a safe space for your dog to lounge in. Our dogs are our children and we will treat your dog with the same love as we treat our own :)
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud dog parent to my 7-year-old lab/german shepherd/golden retriever mix, Sophie. With over 10 years of pet sitting for friends, family, and coworkers, I’ve built a reputation for being responsible and attentive. I work full-time in marketing and own my home, that includes a fenced-in backyard for plenty of playtime. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and have family members and friends who work in veterinary care, so I’m well-equipped to handle any situation that arises. My heart is big for all animals, and I’ve even helped reunite lost pets with their families on more than one occasions. From kittens and puppies to seniors, I can’t wait to care for your furry companions! I’m currently working full time, but I work 5 minutes from my house and am available to check on pets throughout the day when in my care. Additionally, my fiancé works from home, so there will almost always be a responsible adult in the home to look after fur babies. The company I work for allows us to work flexible schedules and we are able to adjust our in/out time for our work days whenever needed. I have a fenced in back yard and currently have one pet in my home, Sophie. Sophie has grown up living with other dogs in our home (up until a few years ago), since she was a puppy! Shes very friendly and patient with other dogs usually, big or small, but a very high energy level dog might not be a good fit for our home. Sophie is great with seniors and medium to low energy dog/puppies. She is great about knowing when another animal wants to play or if they’d rather have their space. There is plenty of space to crate your animals in my house as well. I have a consistent feeding/walking/medication routine with Sophie, and will provide your pets with a reliable routine as well to help them feel as little of a disturbance to their regular schedule as possible. I’m an attentive person and will send you updates and photos of your fur babies often. There is an emergency vet clinic less than 6 miles away from my house in case of any emergencies.
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!
About: I'm the guy everyone asks to pet sit because I never say no! I'm reliable, attentive, and patient and never met an animal I didn't like. I'm a freelance artist which gives me loads of flexibility when it comes to scheduling. Short notice is fine. Life throws curve balls sometimes, and I'm here to help. I abide by the golden rule, and treat all animals as if they were my own family. I pay attention to details and follow all specific instructions for our special friends!
“Megan is absolutely phenomenal! From the first day she met Sasha I could tell she was a pro! Megan is attentive to Sasha, she always gives me great updates and pictures every day! She communicates anything that may be off for that day so I know what to expect when I get home! She takes Sasha on great adventures around the neighborhood and Sasha always looks so happy! Megan is very mindful of our schedule and makes sure she communicates any changes wrll ahead of time and is so flexible with my schedule! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Megan but I have recommended her to other friends and would encourage anyone reading this to book her! She is the best!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life (24 years). Growing up with cats and dogs gave me a great foundation for caring for other peoples pets! For the past few years, I have been pet sitting for all kinds of dogs & cats. There is nothing more I love than creating a sense of safety and peace for animals when their humans are gone. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur-babies! I am currently a substitute teacher! Monday-Friday: I am at school from 7:20am-3:00pm Weekend: Open availability Summer opens my schedule up quite a bit! When caring for pets in your home, I am extremely careful to follow all instructions left by you for your animals care. My number one priority is to create a space where your pet feels safe while you’re gone.
Northwest Akron dog parents share their Rover experiences
Melissa clearly LOVES dogs. Gracie loved her immediately and was happy to go in the car with her to the park for a walk. Gracie didn't last the entire hour and Melissa didn't pressure Gracie to walk farther than she wanted to. She read Gracie's body language and responded appropriately.
