“Lori and Daisy had a great time! Lori kept me informed while I was away with sweet photos and texts. My apartment was in great shape upon my arrival home. Bed linens washed and replaced, kitchen cleaned up and all dishes put away. I will definitely ask Lori to stay with Daisy in the future! 😊”


“Laura was great!! Good communication always answered text properly. Very organized and keeps her Commitment’s. She stayed with Penny and took such good care of her. Sent me photos and text up dates. Got packages off the porch and pulled the garbage can in. She’s wonderful!!!”


“Konnie was amazing as always! Our flight got cancelled and we had to extend an extra day and she made sure that our pets were the LAST thing we needed to worry about. I’m just sad she’s so popular because we are FINALLY able to start traveling again now that we’ve found her and she books up quick! Thank you Konnie!”

“Kylie did great with my animals when I was away for the weekend. Both my dog and cat can be wary of new people, but she was patient with them and they warmed up to her. I’m sure they would be happy to have her here again!”


“Gina was great! Chester was very comfortable with her (and her suggestion / willingness to stop by for an introduction a couple days before likely helped too). We (and Chester) look forward to seeing Gina again soon. Thanks! - Malcolm & Beth”

“Kyle took outstanding care of Archie and Rhea (and kept a watchful eye on our home) while we were on vacation. He asked thoughtful questions and sent regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned, both pets were happy, healthy, and clearly well-adjusted. Archie and Rhea absolutely adore Kyle—I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again for future trips.”


“Kylie was fantastic with our girls. We are always apprehensive when having someone new in our home and taking care of our girls but Kylie was absolutely fantastic. We’ve already booked her for another weekend.”


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!

About: I’ve had the pleasure of taking care of various kinds of animals, dogs and cats . I Will respect your love for your animal that you’ve trusted me with. I am Retired, enjoy walking so why not walk a dog? I’m very responsible, and if I say I’ll be there to care for your dog, I will be there. I live in a great neighbourhood with sidewalks. I have no problem taking a dog on a leash to a nearby park. I ALWAYS pick up after dog.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 8 years old. Taking care of animals has always been a love of mine. I don’t currently work because I have a transplant so I have plenty of free time to spend with your animals walking or playing with them! I have two cats of my own and I had a dog but she recently passed away from old age so helping take care of other animals is a passion of mine.

“Michelle watched our babies during our wedding weekend! She was amazing and we were able to relax and really enjoy our wedding without worrying about our babies. We also have a dog with reactive issues and she was great with her. We highly recommend Michelle and our dogs love her!”


About: I have house / dog/ and cat sit for neighbors and friends for many years and am looking forward to meet you and your pets!! Available briefing in mornings but mainly in afternoons, evenings to check on whatever needed and am always near Wooster for anything that may come up. I have watched several houses/ pets over the years and am always very conscientious about when arriving to homes/ leaving for safety, security and keeping a close eye on pets.

About: I graduated with my Bachelors of Animal Science and have been around animals my whole life. I worked at a pet spa and resort in high school taking care of dogs and cats, I've worked at two zoos taking care of exotic animals, and I have dog and cat sat for friends and family. I am currently a teacher and will have my summers off so I can care for your pet at any time! Currently I am a teacher and have my summers off. I will be available anytime to watch your pet. I love to stay active so walking your pet will not be a problem! I currently have a leopard gecko named Remi. She is very low maintenance but I love to get her out and let her wander around for enrichment and exercise. Working at Zoos and having lots of experience caring for animals I truly believe that enrichment and exercise are so important for an animals health and well-being.

About: I have had multiple experiences dog and cat sitting over the last 5 years. Both with younger and older pets. I have done check-ins and overnight stays to ensure the wellbeing of the animal/pet being looked after. I also have lived with 2 young dogs for the last few months, and before that with older dogs as well. I currently work on a farm so from 6:30am-8am in the morning and then 5pm-8pm in the evenings. Other than that my schedule is very open. Additionally there is flexibility in those hours if needed. I treat animals with respect and care. Showing them love in the same way their owners would. I take my time making sure their needs are looked after in each visit, along with spending time with them as needed as well.

About: I love any type of animal and will provide it with the best care possible. We would go on long walks and play all day! Big, small, medium you name it I will love your dog or cat! I have been around dogs my whole life and would love to care for yours. I am currently a nurse in the area and use Rover when I am away at work so I would love to give back to the dog community and watch other pups while you are away! I will make sure to treat your home and pet with respect and follow all instructions left to properly care for your fur baby and make sure they get everything they need!

About: As someone who travels regularly, I understand the burden of finding someone who will love my pets as much as I do. Having grown up with dogs and cats of all sizes, behaviors, and demands I can assure you I’ll make your beloved pets feel safe and happy while you’re away! (I’ve provided care for puppies, diabetic dogs, senior dogs, large breed dogs, and in multi-animal homes) While my schedule as a student can be demanding, I will always prioritize time in my week to spend with pups. To ensure positive meet ups, I rely on good communication with my clients and prefer scheduling a few days ahead of time! To promote a smooth transition for your pet, I will prioritize the routine you’ve already established with them (favorite times and locations to eat, walk, play). As a guest in your home and life, I feel it’s very important to respect any and all rules you’ve set for your animals.

About: I grew up in a home full of animals, including three boxers. I have taken care of them in their senior age so I also know what that may look like! I currently have three dogs of my own, all of which i’ve had since they were puppies, so I am aware of what puppy care/training can look like as well! I currently work overnight, and am home all day. My schedule is 9pm-9am so I am home from around 9:30am-8:30pm. My significant other is on first shift, so he is home during the night! I have a fenced in yard, and three pups to keep yours company! Since I am home all day, they can have potty breaks and freedom as much as they’d like! If I do have to run an errand it is normally not for more than 2 hours, but if your pup needs crated, I can easily do that! There is a spare room that if they need some down time or you’d prefer them to be alone at any point, they can just hangout in there! We have them on relatively the same schedule everyday. Wake up around 9, go outside and play, eat around 10, then we can play all day! They eat again around 7pm. If you need me to come watch your pup in your home I have also done that numerous times!

Alison G.
“As long as I've know Ali, she has had a family full of dogs and cats that she adores and cares for selflessly. I have a dog who is older and diabetic and requires a good amount of special care and attention. Other than my parents, Ali is the only person who has taken care of Bentley for me when I'm away. She is very mindful of following his care instructions and making sure she understands fully before she does anything. She gave him lots of love and cuddles while I was gone. It was a relief to leave Bentley in her hands resting fully assured that he would be well loved and cared for.”


Sarah R.
“Sarah is amazing with dogs! She watches my dogs when we go on vacation and they LOVE her! They’re always so happy to see her. She also has 3 dogs of her own who are very well cared for. Her own dogs are well socialized, well mannered and very sweet. She obviously puts a lot of time and effort into training and caring for them. Feel confident that Sarah will put the same time and effort into caring for your dogs.”
