About: Hi! I’m Jaclyn! I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love spending time with them including my sweet pomchi Queequeg who just turned 11! Before getting our pup, my husband and I boarded dogs at our home with Rover and absolutely loved our experience caring for people’s pets. Currently, I live in Cleveland, OH and as a theatre artist I have daytime availability throughout the week. I am looking for dog walking opportunities and also check-in opportunities. Would love to take care of your precious pups! As a freelance artist I typically have availability during the days Mon- Fri and due to my work I have a lot of flexibility as well. Safety will always be a top priority for me. I will always make sure your pet is safe and cared for. I will be sure to communicate with photos and updates so you know your pet is doing ok and can relax.
About: I was always asked to take care of my family friends dogs when they went on vacation or needed extra help. I love taking care of animals. I am free whenever as i’m home for summer, ready and excited to help whenever you need a hand i’m ready! I love all animals I have pet sat and have done housesitting jobs at the same time and have always shown up on time and got the work done and had took care of pets and gave them play time
“Leah took the best care of my two fur babies! She fed them and played with them during her drop in visits everyday! Love the photo updates! StinkerBelle and Josey were happy (and Josey doesn’t come out for anyone — she came out for Leah!). Thank you!!! ?”


“Josie was great all around. She took the time and effort to come a couple days before for a meet and greet. This allowed us to get acquainted and for her to meet our dog and home. The visits went well and our dog seemed to really enjoy his time with her. She was on time, took multiple photos, and made the most of the time she had with our dog. Fully recommend Josie, as we will look to her for all future needs!”

About: I say the above because for many years, my long time dog buddy, Shelby (pictured in the photo I'm holding), loved to ride in my car, right by my side. Shelby passed away in 2018 and I miss her so much, every day. In 2019, I rescued a blue heeler/beagle mix, Nova; then in 2024, a shepherd mix, Holly. Dogs have been my companions for more than 40 years, and I have loved caring for, walking, playing, vacationing and just plain hanging with them. . I truly love dogs. They are one of humankind's most noble and steadfast animal friends. I would very much enjoy taking your best friend (or friends) for a walk. I have always enjoyed the company of my canines...and I'm sure I'd feel the same way about your four-legged pals. Plus, getting out with them is great exercise...for both dog and human! I am semi retired, so I have much flexibility in the hours that can be devoted to dog walking. I walk my own dogs in all kinds of weather, which is necessary given the variable climate here in NE Ohio! In my own home, my dogs get out for walks at least three times a day, we well as potty breaks where necessary. They have crates where they can freely go to when they wish to. Most important is that the dogs and I adhere to a stable, regular routine, including feeding and playtimes.
About: I have grown up with a dog in my house since I was born. I have taken care of neighbors and friends dogs while they have went on vacation or just out of town for work. Since moving away for college and now graduate school, I am looking for my dog fix since I cannot own one myself With the summer starting and vacations coming up I will do my best to be available for your dogs. I do have other responsibilities such as school and work but I am always 100% with my clients if I will be a good fit for the stay/drop or not. If you are looking to book with me but see my availability is different then what you’re looking for, please still send me a message and I will do my best to accommodate to make it work! Since I am not able to host dogs at my current place of residence, this will allow the dog to feel more comfortable with a stranger coming to take care of them while the owners are away for however long. I will adjust to their routine so they hardly notice the owners are gone. They will receive all the belly rubs and love they could ask for until their owner returns home
“Erica was amazing! We set up a meet and greet and our cat is very selective of who he immediately goes up to and he wasted no time meeting her. We were able to enjoy our trip and not worry at all if our cat was cared for and well taken care of! Will be using her again! We really appreciated the amount of pictures she sent us.”

About: I currently have 1 dog, 1 cat, and tons of exotics!I have worked in a pet rescue giving me experience with shy dogs and the most outgoing dogs. I've been trained on safe walking practices and safe dog interactions. I would love to help care for your pets! With the pets I have, I'm always working and learning about the care I can provide them! With my dog and cat, I'm ready to play with them. I also work at a pet store specializing in fish. I'm happy and ready to join your pets live's as long as I can! For dog walking and drop in visits I like to spend time letting the dog sniff me before harnessing or leashing. I want to make sure they are comfortable with me in their space. Once showing a more relaxed body language I'm ready to earn trust and take walks around neighborhoods and take dogs out for their potty breaks.
“Tyler is a a great gift as my dog sitter. He has helped out tremendously when I was in need of someone to watch my dog Horus. Tyler is one of three people I trust with my dog.”


About: I've been an animal person my entire life. I grew up helping pet-sit the neighborhood dogs, and my family loved a rescue German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix from the time I was 10 (she was 2) until she was 15 - she watched us grow up and even visited my college house. As an adult, my heart belonged to January, a border collie/American Staffordshire terrier mix I brought home in my late 20s after seeing her story on the news. She was an energetic, clever puppy who taught me patience, consistency, and the value of positive training. We had 13 wonderful years together before she passed in November 2025. Losing January left a hole in my routine and my heart, and I’m not quite ready to adopt again - but I’ve found real joy and healing in caring for other people's pets. I've recently house-sat and hosted dogs, cats, and birds for friends and family, from puppies and kittens to seniors on medications with special needs. That experience, plus a gentle nudge from the people who suggested Rover, is what brings me here. I've used the same trusted vet since I was a kid and know the ropes - comfortable administering medication, contacting the vet, or getting emergency care if needed. Your pet will be loved, watched closely, and cared for like one of my own. I work a hybrid schedule: two days at home (typically Monday and Friday) and three 8-hour days in an Avon Lake office (Tuesday-Thursday). My schedule is flexible and easy to swap these days. I can use my noon lunch break for midday walks, potty breaks, and playtime if you're within 5-10 miles of my location. I’m available in the evenings after work for walks, feeding & visits. I'm also happy to water plants, bring in mail, and handle other small house-sitting tasks. I live in a cozy Lakewood duplex on the first floor with a front yard and porch that dogs (including my former dog and the neighbors’ dogs) love to lounge on. I have a yard stake leash available for safe outdoor time. I already have bowls, beds, leashes, and other supplies, so your pup won't need to travel with a pile of gear if you don’t want to. I can board up to two dogs at a time -any size, any friendly mix - but I don't board cats in my home (happy to care for them at yours).
About: Hi, I’m Rob! Here to serve the pet community with walks and companionship when their humans are unavailable. I know how much your pup means to you, and I’ll always treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m reliable, patient, and love getting outside for fresh air and tail wags! Whether it’s a short potty break or a long walk around the neighborhood, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved the whole time. Available for sitting, boarding, walks, and drop-ins Excellent with senior care as my own are mostly elderly. My home has several modifications for elderly dogs. Having two diabetic dogs and one with congestive heart failure, I am great with injections and pill administration. I do have one young dog, so puppies and young dogs are welcome too! For those staying over night, we have a fenced in third of an acre for lots of running, playing or just enjoying all the smells. We live on a pretty low traffic/quiet street, so not too many distractions during walks. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend(s) 🐕 and make sure they have a great walk/stay! 🐾 Available 7 days a week. For walks and drop - ins, I am available between 7 am to 11pm. Can do walks and drop-ins later for night shift workers, when given advance notice. For those boarding, we have a fenced in third of an acre for your dog to run and play. Two elderly dogs and 1 young dog reside in the home. The elderly dogs keep to themselves, kind and calm. The younger dog is sweet and enjoys keeping guests company. He is smart and will read cues from your dog if they are not interested in him being around. He is very gentle with elderly dogs or will stay away from them if you prefer him not be around them. Home has several modifications for elderly dogs, including door and porch added to back of home to have quicker access to the fenced in yard, pet stairs to get to furniture if needed etc.
“This was my first time using Rover, and James made the entire process incredibly easy. Before I even booked, he took the time to explain how everything worked and answered all my questions, which helped me feel comfortable right away. During the first week of appointments, he continued to check in, guide me through the app, and make sure I knew what to expect. He visits three days a week to help socialize my very grumpy, very particular cat, and he’s been so patient with her. He gives her space when she needs it, tries gently to engage when she’s willing, and always makes sure she’s fed and cared for. He’s flexible, kind, and clearly committed to helping her warm up at her own pace. The photos he takes are great. They always capture her personality and the fun notes he leaves on each report card make the updates something I look forward to. His consistency and care have made a real difference, and I’m grateful to have found someone I trust.”

“My sitter of 2 years is no longer doing rover and I had to last minute find someone new. Kevisha was on time and handles Jursie well! I came back home and he was a happy pup!”

About: I’ve grown up with a dog all my life & cannot wait until I have a nice yard to adopt one of my own! I am no stranger to walks/jogs, throwing the ball or carrying a bag for when the time comes! I have no professional experience with training but would be open to working on commands upon request! I’m currently working from home and have a very flexible schedule. I can work from anywhere so in-home sitting wouldn’t be an issue. I go on walks everyday and think it would be fun to have a buddy to walk around with me! In clients home services would be followed as directed by the client. Feeding schedule, walking schedule, playing, potty break schedule (or litter scooping) would need to be outlined to ensure your pet is receiving the care they need!

Kristi is an outstanding Pet Sitter. Spends high-quality time with the pets, follows detailed instructions and is just genuinely so loving and caring towards the animals. I feel so comfortable and relaxed every time I go away knowing that Kristi is taking such good care of my babies!
Mitchell is a fantastic sitter and was absolutely amazing with my cat while I was out of town for a few days. I received updates every day of the two of them playing and having fun together. Mitchell is very attentative and goes above and beyond to make sure all of your care instructions are followed. I'll always consider Mitchell for pet sitting with future trips.

Margaret was fantastic! She checked on our two cats while we were on an international trip. Her thorough reports + photos made us feel comfortable that our guys were in great hands while we were away. Extremely reliable, communicative and will absolutely be rebooking in the future!

rebecca was amazing with my fur baby. he has separation anxiety and she helped and cared deeply for him while i was away for 4 days. if you have a shelter dog rebecca will be the perfect for you because she has a lot of patience and genuinely care for animals!

Arissa did a fantastic job caring for our senior cat, who requires medical injections. She is a great communicator, detail-oriented and pleasant to work with. She is a self-starter and I was able to relax while we were gone because she did such a good job. Highly recommend!
