“Abbi did a really great job with our cats. We had never used a pet sitter before and were really nervous about it, but she kept us informed and was available for off time contacts. We will definitely use her again.”


“Diana is the absolute best! I feel so safe and secure leaving my babies with Diana while at work knowing they'll be loved and cared for by her just like I would. My babies and I are so lucky and thankful to have her in our lives!”


“Savanna did daily visits for my three cats. She did a fantastic job. She did everything as instructed and sent photos each day. I recommend her and plan to hire her again.”


“Mickey did a great job watching our pets! Our situation is definitely a unique one with 8 cats, but they were all well taken care of and happy while my roommate and I were away, and we definitely felt a lot better about leaving them knowing that they were in such good hands.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits for 8+ years. I’ve helped train puppies (unlicensed) and love working with shy or attention-hungry pets with patience and care. I don’t have a fixed weekly schedule right now, but I receive my availability at the start of each month and always keep my calendar up to date. I prioritize safety and comfort above all else, while I'm caring for pets in your home. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel relaxed and loved. I follow all your instructions carefully, whether about feeding, medication, or routines, to maintain consistency and trust. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I communicate openly with you to ensure your peace of mind. Your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priorities every step of the way.

About: … but God had other plans, and made me an Army VET instead!! Just love animals. I feel their energy and meet them where they are. Am a lifelong Animal lover and have lots of experience with both cats and dogs. Worked at an animal kennel, the zoo and assisted at a local veterinarian office in my teens. Have never lived without animals - they are family!!! I work remotely and am a momma. My routine revolves around getting my son too and from school. If I’m not on the road for work then my home routine is very flexible to whatever special need's your furry family may have. I will treat your pets and home with the utmost respect. My son and I have lots of love to give! I am a nurse by trade and pay close attention to catch behavior changes or potential medical concerns.

“This is the second time Evie has watched Meatball and we would definitely book again. He seemed to still trust her after the two years between bookings and was happy and cozy when I got home. Thanks Evie!”

“My dog sitter cancelled last minute, and Zach was able to come within 15 minutes of me messaging him. He stayed for an hour and sent me pictures of my puppy. No complaints at all. Thank you Zach!”


“Hannah was great! This was my first time using rover and she helped walk me through it. Leaving your home and your dog with a stranger is definitely an intimidating thing, but with all of Hannah’s communication I felt confident that it would could go well. I would recommend her to anyone! She was so nice and my dog Aussie seemed to have an amazing time.”


About: I have always had pets since childhood and have always had a love for animals especially dogs. I have 3 of my own! My oldest dog is 9 and takes a pill twice daily to control seizures. I'm experienced in giving medication and pets! I work part time during the week. I'm home quite a bit each day and my dogs are the BEST and love new friends! They like to play and we can also do walks in our neighborhood! I have a fenced back yard and 3 Siberian huskies of my own who love to play and meet new friends! They are friendly, sweet and cuddly. Plenty of toys and treats to share!

About: What sets me apart ? I’m home all day everyday so your pups will never be left alone! I live in a spacious 3,500 sq foot home with no other pets, so your dog gets my full attention in a calm, clean enviroment. I also offer same day bookings and flexible drop off times. Can’t wait to meet you and your pups (: Pet care is a natural part of my routine because I am always home. I structure my day around your pets needs, whether that’s regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, or just quiet companionship. I make sure each dog gets personalized attention and consistent care from morning to night. Your pets safety and comfort are my top priority. I live in a clean, spacious home with no other pets so your dogs will never feel overwhelmed or ignored. I’m home all day which means constant supervision and ZERO crate time unless requested. I only take on a limited number of pets at once, giving each my full attention.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and am very experienced with their care. I have no problems taking care of anything that they need! Hi there! I am a college student at the University of Toledo. Most of my classes are online so I have plenty of available time on my hands. I am very available during the weekdays and I would love to care for your furry friend!

About: *only accepting walking/drop in clients at this time* Hi! My name is Rachel and I am currently a virtual worker. I have 2 full years of service on Rover and have been able to maintain many clients over the years! I truly love pets of all kinds 🐶🐱❤️ I am quite capable of handling both large and small dogs on walks. I am open to long term jobs of which I can build a relationship between you and your puppy(ies)! That way you can always count on me and vice versa :) If you would like a list of references and a background check please let me know and I will be sure to provide that for you. Excited to talk to you! I work virtually, so this means I can spend all day with your pets! I will need to spend a good amount of time tending to my calls and work, but my schedule allows plenty of time for potty breaks, walks, and snuggles :) I am a very clean and respectful person, especially when it comes to someone else’s space. I have an extensive amount of references, should you need to know more. If you have cameras in your home, please disclose this to me. If you choose to not disclose this and would prefer to keep in anonymous, please don’t hire me as a sitter. It is an invasion of privacy and safety; if we cannot build trust I don’t prefer to work for you. Rover requires sitters to have background checks and I am openly transparent with my references. If you need peace of mind, ask.

About: Experienced, patient, and detail oriented sitter who treats every pet like my own; whether it’s belly rubs, meds, or shy pups, I’ve got you covered! Pet care is already apart of my everyday life, I have a dog of my own, so walks, belly rubs, feedings, and playtime are built into my routine. Welcoming other pets into that environment feels natural and fulfilling. Whether it’s a weekend stay or weekday drop ins, I genuinely enjoy making pets feel loved and right at home. I care for pets with the same love and attention I give my own. For drop ins, I follow your pets routine closely, whether that’s feedings, walks, playtime, or giving meds. While making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I always prioritize cleanliness and clear communication.
