“Sarah took amazing care of my 16 year old dog for 4 days. She followed all instructions and kept me updated with videos! She also left my house cleaner than I left it! Would highly recommend her!”

“We did not know Tara before our trip, and I was a little nervous about leaving our pets with someone new. But I didn’t need to be. She did a wonderful job taking care of our beloved dog, and our bunny, and kept us updated on how they were doing, as we had asked - which allowed me to relax and have a nice time away. I highly recommend her!”
“Thank you so much for staying with my girl while I was out of town! I couldn't be happier with how well my pup was cared for. She sent pictures regularly throughout the day and kept me informed of how my pup was doing. 100% would recommend to anyone for any critter.”
About: I have three cats of my own that I take care of. My family has always had a dog or cat in the home, so have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I am currently working full time from home, so I am flexible when it comes to my daily and weekly routine. We can find a schedule that works for us both! I currently have three cats that.. run our household 😅 they are well tended to and have many toys. Under my care, I will be able to keep your pet happy, healthy and safe
“Julie took great care of our two dogs and our cat while we were away on vacation. She communicated frequently and it was stress free experience for us. She stayed at our house while we were away and only left the dogs for a couple hours at a time. It was great! Julie is very trustworthy. We will work with her again and highly recommend!”
“Chelsea did a great job caring for my dogs while I was out of town. She kept the house clean and even took care of our bearded dragon! We were kept updated with frequent pictures. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again! Thank you, Chelsea!”
“Ally is the best ! From the time she arrived our pup loved her! Ally took her on walks, sent photos and video and the communication was perfect! When my dog is calm and relaxed, we know she had a fantastic day. Would highly recommend using Ally!”
“Shayna had great communication. She sent pictures of my baby as requested. She was very kind and respectful of the house. I could tell that my pup was comfortable in her care. Would definitely book again.”
“Monica housesat my 2 dogs for a full week and did an amazing job!! She took care of them as if they were her own, was a great communicator, and followed all my instructions. She administered my dog's medication daily and made sure to highlight any differences she noticed over the week to make sure everything was as expected. She is so kind and thoughtful and it was so comforting getting pictures and videos of my dogs being happy and playful while I was away! My dogs love Monica and I am so grateful for her!”
About: I have had dogs since I was little and love playing with them and taking care of them. I’m an athletic person so if the dog is in the mood to play, I can certainly be a great playmate! I have experience with dog sitting overnight, dog walking, and drop-in visits. I work at a nursing home, but I get to choose the shifts I pick up, so my schedule can be very flexible. I am looking for more pups to help out! I can provide overnight care at the owners home. While I am there, I make sure to take your dog for walks, play outside, and give lots of rubs and cuddles. As a person, I am very low maintenance, so you won’t have to provide hardly anything if come care for your pups overnight.

Northwest Akron pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first time using Rover, and honestly, we were a little hesitant about trusting the process. We've used boarding facilities in the past, and unfortunately those experiences didn't go well due to a lack of supervision and care. Halle completely set our mind to ease from day one. She was phenomenal from the start—attentive, communicative, and incredibly flexible when we accidentally mixed up some dates. She always kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our boy, Stirling, is a high-energy husky who requires patience, understanding, and someone willing to keep up with him. Halle handled him like a champ. She treated him with genuine compassion and care, and it was clear she took the time to understand his personality and needs. The biggest testament to how wonderful she is is Stirling's reaction to her. He gets excited every time she comes over, and after her visits, he'll sit by the windowsill waiting for her to come back. That's all the confirmation we need that he loves her just as much as we do. We can't recommend Halle highly enough. She is trustworthy, caring, reliable, and truly exceptional with dogs. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
Our pets absolutely adore Cassie! She is the absolute best with any animals she’s ever with! She excels in folllwoing instructions, taking cute pictures of the pets, and giving them the best cuddles! She’s been watching our pets for the last few years now, and we always know our house/pets will be in good order when she’s here. We will be using her plenty more times in the future, and are so thankful to have her!
Bridget was absolutely amazing, kind, and loving with our anxious girl, Maple. We were nervous to leave Maple while we left the state to visit family, but with having Bridget caring for our dog, those fears were quickly squashed. She provided daily updates and pictures on how things were going, took her for walks, and treated Maple as if she were her own pet. She also took great care of our home, and left a care plan at the end of her stay to give us even more insight into what Maple's days looked like while we were gone. I will 100% be rebooking with Bridget in the future and am so grateful for her!
Taevon was so amazing,I contemplated not writing a review to selfishly keep him available when I need but he deserves all the public praise!!! From beginning to end his response time to everything was basically immediate. He did a meet and greet with my two very old pups and came prepared to ask questions based off their profiles and info. One of our pups comes with a TON of issues and his needs and care are 1 of 1 for sure. Tae handled him and all his quirky needs seemlessly. I returned home to an immaculate home, and two peaceful content old dogs. We have two homes and honestly making sure they are always in Cleveland to f I need a sitter bc Tae is UNMATCHED in care!
Jake was the best! I was super nervous to leave my dogs for almost an entire week, especially because one of them has health issues and dog aggression. Jake did a great job reassuring me prior to and throughout my trip that my dogs were in the best of care. He gave regular updates, responded quickly, great communication, brought our mail in, and even left a note welcoming us home. Highly recommend!
This was our first time using Rover. Rebecca, came over to meet our pups and discuss expectations prior too us hiring her. She was very kind and our pups took to her immediately. She stayed in our home for 4 days. She provided updates while we were gone along with pictures. When we arrived home the dogs were very happy and excited. Rebecca took great care of them and our home. It looked exactly as we left it. I will be using Rebecca again for future travel. She did am amazing job.
Scott and Samantha are wonderful and cared for my 7 month old pup like she was their own! I was nervous about having to leave Corvi for a business trip since she is still so young, but they were very communicative and sent a ton of updates and pictures. I came home to a very happy and tired pup! Will DEFINITELY use them again and highly recommend!
