“Sophia was amazing - hands down the best, most attentive housesitter we've had! We have 3 dogs and a cat, including a senior dog with several conditions and lots of meds, and Sophia did a fabulous job keeping things normal for our critters for the week we were away. Everything was exactly as expected when we returned, including our senior dog who was in a great shape and looked the picture of health!”


“Oh my gosh I can't say enough about how kind and attentive David was with our animals! He sent many pictures and barely left their orbit for 3 days! He asked tons of questions and took notes and we felt so secure leaving them in his care. To be honest, I am not sure our pets were that excited to see us come home! Would definitely recommend!”


About: I love animals. I grew up with dogs and have been around cows and horses. Every animal is special to me. Your dog will be treated as one of my own when with or around me. I have 1 small dog who is very playful with other dogs. I live close enough to a park that we frequent often. We live in a spacious house so your dog will have tons of room here. I hope to get the chance to get to know you and your pup. Please feel free to ask any questions. I do have a full time job beyond dog sitting but my schedule still allows me to sit or walk other dogs as needed. I am available for most holidays. Safety of your pet is my number one priority. I do not have a fully fenced yard (yet) but your pet would never be outside unattended.

“Molly was great! She stayed at our house and watched our Great Dane. She kept us updated and sent photos. Our dog is high maintenance and she did a great job caring for her. I recommend Molly and will use her again.”


“Brianna is a godsend! She took care of our two cats, our dog, and our fish while we were away and we came back to a content home. One of our cats is medically complicated, and she handled tall those instructions jobs no problem. Our dog is a super sensitive hound dog, and Bri really understands him. He loves her. Already booked her again!”


About: I've been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old, so you could say it's in my blood. Over the years, I've learned so much about their different personalities and needs. One of the most special dogs in my life was my own, who lived to the incredible age of 18. He was a constant companion and taught me so much about loyalty and love. That experience really shaped my approach to dog care, making me extra attentive and dedicated to their well-being. I also have experience with cats and rabbits as well. I usually work my other job in the mornings, but I can be flexible to fit your schedule. Let me know what times work best for you, and I'll do my best to accommodate! Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I always make sure they have a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I follow their regular feeding and exercise routines, and I'm always attentive to their individual needs and quirks. Lots of playtime, cuddles, and positive reinforcement are definitely part of the deal!

“Hannah did a fantastic job watching our dogs for a week while we were on vacation! She sent numerous pictures and provided updates about our 3 dogs daily. Our dogs had the time of their life and it gave us peace of mind to know that they were in great hands while we were away. I highly recommend Hannah and will be using her in the future for all our dog needs!”


“We loved Jana! She was kind, courteous and polite always. She sent us lots of pictures and kept in communication with us. Our home was clean and she even stripped the bed of the linens. 10/10 would/will call her again!!”

“Lauren was awesome! She came over to meet my dogs before sitting which was great for them to get to know her. She was super responsive and timely! Can’t wait to use her again :)”


About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets—dogs, cats, and small animals. From daily walks and feedings to administering medications and providing comfort, I’ve built trust with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to learn their routine, understand their behavior, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you always feel connected. I’m currently working part time so I will be available Saturdays from 12a-9p and Sunday 12a-9p. I also will take requests for other days, I can work with you! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible—feeding them on schedule, giving plenty of love and attention, keeping their space clean, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I respect their environment and follow any specific instructions closely. While I don’t currently have a dog in my own home, that allows me to give your pet my full attention without distractions. My dog currently passed so we have an electric fence but that’s it! If your pet stays with me, they’ll have a clean, calm, pet-friendly space with lots of one-on-one care, playtime, and love. I’m all about making them feel at home—whether it’s their place or mine.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for over ten years now, and I have always been an animal lover! I am comfortable watching dogs of all breeds and sizes. I currently am a graduate student at Cleveland State University. I have a flexible schedule and I am free most weekends. I also have flexibility throughout weekdays to let animals out during various times of the day. I’ve had animals growing up my whole life and I understand the responsibility and safety that it entails. I am able to make visits or stay in your home depending on your preference.

About: As a dedicated dog lover and proud owner of two golden retrievers, I understand that every dog is family. My experience caring for my own pups has given me firsthand knowledge of everything from puppy energy to the gentle needs of senior dogs. I provide patient, loving care tailored to each dog’s personality, age, and routine. Whether it’s keeping your energetic pup entertained or giving extra attention to older dogs, I treat every dog like my own—with love, consistency, and a whole lot of belly rubs. I’m a college student currently off for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule! I’m available weekdays from early mornings through early evenings. While I prefer daytime care, I can also accommodate overnight stays with advance notice. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I’m excited to spend my summer giving dogs the attention, playtime, and love they deserve! While I don’t offer in-home boarding, I’m happy to care for your dog in the comfort of your own home. I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, and I’ll treat your home and your dog with the utmost respect and care. My own dogs are protective, so I don’t offer playdates, but I’m more than happy to take your pup on walks, to the park, or to any favorite spots they enjoy. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities.

About: I have had animals my whole life, from dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, iguanas, and rabbits. I have lived with them, fed them and kept them clean. I am currently only working part time so I have tons of time to help these animals have some fun while their parents are away! I have a very large yard and live nearby to parks. I have a crate if needed and will be willing to accommodate whatever is needed.

“This was our first time ever using Rover, and it was a huge success! Julie was such a kind person the moment we met her. She went the extra mile for our pets and the house looked like no one had even stepped foot in it since we had left! I would highly recommend her for any service you may need!”


About: I’ve had pets in my household since I was little. I’ve taken care of family’s cats and dogs, as well as my own. I’ve been responsible for taking care of animals as young as birth up to the last moments of their lives. I’m very reliable, responsible and respectful to you, your pet and your home. I currently work full time night shift at a local nursing home (7pm-7am) I’m perfect for drop in visits during the day while you’re away at work or on a day trip! I’m off every weekend. Great for overnight stays. I’m very flexible and willing to accommodate for any needs of the client. I have a Pug, Aussie and Weimaraner living out in the country near a highway. I always take precaution and make sure my dogs have collars/harness on while outside. So making sure your dog is safe is guaranteed!
