“Kathy was a sensational sitter for our toy poodle Lily! She went above and beyond to care for her and make sure she was safe and comfortable. We arranged for her next stay on pick up! The pictures and updates kept us entertained while we were away and we knew she was happy without us.”

“I was so pleased with my dog’s stay with this boarder. She sent me daily updates and made sure I knew Oreo was being treated with the BEST care! This was my first experience leaving Oreo with a someone outside my family and all of my insecurities went away the very first day he was there. I would highly recommend her and will definitely reach out again if I need to leave Oreo again!”

“First time utilizing Kyle’s services for my 2 miniature shitzhus and it was absolutely amazing. It’s the first time I had to use this kind of service and honestly, it’s been nothing short of exceptional. Kyle provided videos throughout the evening so I could feel comfortable with the whole process - it was nice to notice my dogs having fun with another dog Kyle was doggy sitting. Communication was very smooth. I highly recommend and will definitely be utilizing his services again.”

“Tara and Peter have an amazing home and fenced yard - our dogs loved their time with them ! This is a super friendly family and took excellent care of our sweet pups while we were out of town! We highly recommend and would be lucky to have them watch our dogs again !!”

About: I’m a dedicated dog mom who treats every dog like my own. I provide personalized care, follow routines closely, and send regular updates. My home is a safe, loving environment, and my friendly miniature poodle, Knox, enjoys making new dog friends. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a dog mom myself. I work during the day, but I’m able to come home and check on pups throughout the day. Evenings and weekends are when I have the most availability for walks, playtime, cuddles, and one-on-one attention. I make sure every dog gets plenty of care, exercise, and companionship while they’re with me. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. I have a backyard where they can safely run and play, and I can easily accommodate crate-trained dogs if needed. My miniature poodle, Knox, is friendly and enjoys having dog friends to play with and keep him company. We stay active with multiple walks throughout the day, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I do my best to follow each dog’s normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home during their stay.
“Kaitlynn you as great with Noland. I could tell she took great care of him because he was very happy when I got him back. She is very accommodating. She sent lots of pics and updates. Thank you again!”

“Susan came highly recommended by a couple of our neighbors. After our meet&greet, we were very excited for our dog to spend a long weekend at their house. We were not disappointed. Bryce had a great time! Susan was very good in sending lots of updates, pictures and a few movies. They also took very good care of Bryce. It is the ideal set up for small to medium sized dogs. We will definitely contact them again in the future.”

About: My name is Ivette and I currently study at Case. My husband is a USPS mail carrier and I work from home. Currently, I have one dog and two rescue cats🐾. During the pandemic, I spent a significant amount of time with my pets indoors where I had the opportunity to take care of two litters that my dogs had. I learned many skills during that time. With age, my dog became a senior dog and had to take oral medication so I am used to giving oral/topical medication to pets. I have been living in the Cleveland area since 2019 but I am originally from Texas. My current home has a fenced back yard and a good route for walks. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.
“An amazing caring animal lover, my dog had so much fun as shown in pictures. I definitely recommend Rachel, she is understanding and flexible. I think my dog will have to have play dates. I can't express my gratitude”

“We were very pleased with the care given to our two dogs during our 7 day trip. Anna was great to keep us informed daily, text back quickly and stay on top of things. For the first time in many years, we actually had a relaxed vacation. We certainly will plan on using Anna again in the future.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Cliff! He watched our pup for a full week, and from start to finish, everything was seamless and stress-free. Cliff treated our dog like his own, playtime, and plenty of love. He kept us updated with photos and little notes that showed just how happy and well cared for our dog was. When we picked her up, she was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a great time. We’ll absolutely be calling Cliff again next time we travel! Highly recommend—five stars🐾⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🐾”

“Nova had a great time staying with Austin. Austin provided updates twice a day and at least one photo a day. He responded quickly and had great communication before and during Nova's stay. We would absolutely book with Austin again in the future.”

“Colleen was absolutely wonderful! She has a calm demeanor and was so loving to my Poppy while away for a week. I received daily updates and loved seeing through photos the bond Poppy and her lab, Peaches, developed. In fact, tonight a yellow lab appeared on the TV in an ad and Poppy went wild barking. I think she already misses her new friend and it has at even been 24 hours. I will most certainly use Colleen for future boarding.”

“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”

“My dog, Lola, enjoyed Thanksgiving week with Samantha and I’ve already booked the Christmas holiday week for her. That’s high praise for Samantha’s positive style & work ethics. ***** 5 stars!”

“Choosing Susan was a great choice! I felt that with Susan's many years of experience and knowledge she was a great choice! If you go out of town you get pics and to i.sould highly reccomend Susan! As great, knowledgeable and patient with your pet! Wha”

“Haley was an amazing host! Very communicative and kept us informed through the entire visit. Our Copper really seemed to enjoy his weekend stay! We will definitely use Haley’s services again! 5 ⭐️”

Richmond Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sandra's attention to detail and nightly updates made for a worry free vacation. The only suggestion I might have for next time is it might be better to pick up excited babies, after greeting them in the backyard first, might help make for a smoother pickup. Thank you!

Ivette was so incredible with my senior dog! She updated me about how he was doing including potty breaks, meals, and medications. He has special needs and she was very accommodating for all of my requests and went above and beyond with making him at home and comfortable. We appreciate that she was very helpful and flexible with some changes to our itinerary. Eich was very happy when we picked him up! I'm a very anxious pet parent and am always nervous leaving Eich but felt very comfortable that he was well taken care of. We highly recommend Ivette!

Tove & Gerry are the best. Our 10 year old Golden Doodle Marley had only been boarded once in her life. From the first minute that she walked into their home Marley was comfortable. They took great care of her, sent updates and pictures and cared for her like she was their own. Tove even slept with Marley one night when her tummy wasn’t feeling great. You couldn’t ask for two more wonderful people to watch your little one.

We had a wonderful experience with Austin. We had never left Rusty with anyone but family before, so we were nervous. Austin cared for our little guy like he was family. This allowed us to enjoy our vacation and not worry. We received pictures and communications to put our minds at ease. We will definitely have Rusty stay with Austin and his wonderful family anytime we go away in the future. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Chris Mancuso
