“Teagan was fantastic and took excellent care of my dog while I was out of town. She sent lots of photos and was very communicative! I will definitely have her back next time I need a sitter!”
“Dawn always helps us when we travel. Our dog adores her. The house is always in order after she’s been there. She’s easy to communicate with, responds quickly, and comes to the rescue even if my trip lasts an extra unplanned day. The best sitter for our dog. I always feel at ease when she’s with Dawn.”
“Melissa did a great job of taking care of our three dogs . She house sat our One Golden , a mutt and a young sheppard. She texted us with questions and updates . We were able to leave without worrying about our babies. What a blessing she is. Great dog sitter !”
“Mark was amazing with our two dogs. Our dogs went on several long walks, enjoyed playing in the back yard with their Mark’s dog and loved all the lap time and belly rubs that Mark gave them. Mark was great with sending pictures and videos of our puppies while we were gone, too. We’ll definitely pick Mark again and we’d highly recommend Mark to you.”
“Margaret followed instructions perfectly. She did everything we asked of her. She was on time and gave our dogs a lot of attention. They seem to be very happy with her. Will definitely recommend her in the future.”
About: I have always had a love for animals. My husband calls me Snow White because even ducks follow me. Everywhere I go animals follow me.

I currently have two tea cup pups and a shih Tzu mix. I have a fenced in yard and am home to take of them constantly. I have two tea cup pups and a shih Tzu mix
“Claire was great! She stayed at our home for the weekend and took great care of our 1.5 year old Boston. We loved getting photos and videos throughout the weekend of our pup. This was our first Rover experience and Claire made it very smooth and worry free! ?”
“Alexis was wonderful with our 4 yr old corgi, Jaxson. She watched him at our home for a week. She brought in our mail and Amazon packages and left our home and dog well cared for. She sent us several pictures of our dog and let us know that he was adjusting well. Jaxson looked very happy! Alexis is very responsible and we will definitely hire her again when the need arises. Thank you, Alexis!”
“Jess was an AWESOME day sitter. Communication was top notch, and they provided us with lots of pictures and videos. We knew our pup was safe and well loved all day. Will be booking again!”
About: I have had pets my entire life. I am a certified dog groomer as of 2019. I also take in stray kittens and find them vet help as well as their forever families. I currently don't work, my kids are home for the summer. I have 3 cats and a dog. My animals are feed 2 times a day. I used to be a mobile groomer so I have experience with coming to clients homes and discussing comfort levels and needs of their pets.
About: Hi! My name is Kaity, I have over 12 years of pet sitting experience for family, friends & over 50 families in the Toledo area. I have a dog and two cats of my own but have had animals my whole life. In my free time, I am an active volunteer at Toledo Humane Society and a previous volunteer at Lucas County Canine Care & Control (LC4). Along with volunteering, I run a social media page called Paws of Toledo where I highlight adoptable pets at local shelters. Pets are an essential part of the family and it would be my honor to walk, pet, play, love on your animals! ❤️ Drop-Ins & Dog Walking: I currently work full-time, so i would be available to take care of your furbabies before 8:30 a.m. or after 5:00 p.m. on the weekdays (depending on location) and anytime on the weekends as long as I have availability! House Sitting Services - This is a new service I started providing! I am available to take care of your animals on the weekends while also staying at your house overnight, as long as I have availability. I would need to be able to come & go to let my animals out at home. If you have any questions, please feel free to send a request and we can discuss from there! :) I will adjust my care needs based on what you would like/what your pet is used to. I have experience with crating, free roaming animals, and indoor/outdoor.
“Linsee was amazing with my fur babies, Niko and grace adored her and her son. They gave them lots of attention and love while I was gone, and it was so no nice leaving them knowing they would be greatly cared for. Definitely recommend booking with Linsee”
About: I have always had animals in my house growing up. I currently have 5 dogs and 6 cats living with me! I have fostered for the humane society with my family for the past 10 years (maybe even more)! I trained puppies to go potty outside and kittens to use the litter box. I am up for a good challenge. I am pretty free all the time now that I quit my retail job because I am leaving for a vacation but will be back by the end of July. So I am free almost all the time. I can walk your dog if that’s what you usually do, I can play with them in your backyard. I am not comfortable with bringing your animal to my home because my dog is very territorial.
About: My whole family has had dogs at some point. I have grown around big, medium, and small dogs. I am outside a lot and will make sure your dog has a great time under my care. I am home a lot of the time so taking care of a dog works great in my schedule. I am very attentive and will make sure your dog has all his/her needs meet! I have strong leadership skills and communication skills towards dogs. I would carry out certain training methods that you would do for your own dog to make sure good habits are kept and maintained!
About: I have experience cat and dog sitting for various breeds and ages, and have been doing this for most of my adult life—I love it. From taking your dogs on walks, staying over night with your kitties or puppies, or even taking care of them when they are sick (I have experience with diabetic cats), I would love to make sure your pet is taken care of just as you would yourself. I’ve dealt with rambunctious wire hairs, skittish kittens, and everything in between. I am so excited to meet your favorite doggo or kitto and love on them! I currently work a full-time 9-5 job. When it comes to drop-ins and walks I am available before 8:30 am and after 5:30 pm during the week. My schedule on the weekends is more open. When housesitting I am available to stay overnight for as long as needed, but do want owners aware of my work schedule to make sure it will work for them and their animals. However you choose for me to care for your pets inside your home I am ready and prepared to do! I love cuddling with your pets and making sure they are as comfortable as possible while you are away. All I ask is for clear instructions so I can keep your fur baby’s schedule and environment as consistent as possible.
“Wendy did a great job with my boys!! She followed my instructions to the T and asked questions when she wasn’t sure. My boys were happy and healthy when I got home. They were sad to see her go! I will book with Wendy again!”
“Our pups loved Rachel! From the initial contact to the d of the visit, she was attentive and detail oriented. Rachel was great with administering meds, caring for a dog with some medical needs and another dog with anxiety. We came home to happy pups who can’t wait to spend more time with her. Thank you!!!”

Samantha M.
“Samantha M. is my niece, and lived with us for a period of about 4 years while she attended college. At that time, she brought with her Precious, a terrier Samantha had rescued from a road side a few years before, where she was starving, mangy, emaciated, and, as we later found out, pregnant. Samantha, barely a teenager at the time, and alone in the house, delivered Precious' pups single-handedly. Samantha is a caring, loving, "animal-whisperer" of sorts, who seems to be able to lovingly communicate with numerous species. I cannot speak highly enough this young woman's capacity to care for, protect, and love all animals.”
Kaity W.Star Sitter
“Kaity is the definition of an animal lover! She is kind, compassionate, loving, and has prioritized the needs of my pets. She has connected very well with my kitties and is very consciousness of their physical and emotional needs. She is easy to communicate with and followed my wishes to a tee. You and your pets will be happy that you have entrusted their care with Kaity!”

Ottawa Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
Megan wonderfully with our older dog Fiona, she was very good with communicating with me when we were on our trip! We received pictures and videos so we could still see our old girl while we were away. When there was an issue she was quick to let us know and reassured us that Fiona was OK (my poor pup has a nervous belly).
Ashlyn did an amazing job taking care of our 4 labs. She checked in and kept me updates on how things were going! Our house was exactly as we left it when we returned and the my pups were happy! I would recommend Ashlyn to care for your furry family members! I will definitely ask Ashlyn to come back!!!
Wendy dog-sat for me while I was in town for a family wedding. She was very communicative and responsive from the point of reservation through the visit. I was able to relax and enjoy the event knowing my pups were in good hands. I'd recommend Wendy and would book her again when I'm in town.
Sheila was AMAZING, I can’t recommend her enough! I was nervous to leave Cricket for a trip and Sheila went above and beyond to make sure Cricket was taken care of and loved on! We will absolutely be rebooking and I can’t brag enough about how wonderful our experience was!
Claire did a wonderful job taking care of Heath! She kept us updated on how things were going and send us pictures of our little guy. We were able to enjoy our long weekend knowing Heath was being well cared for. We would highly recommend Claire to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
