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.
“Mitchell was great! This was our first time using Rover and I’m so happy with how easy it was to communicate with Mitchell, not to mention the awesome pictures we got throughout the week. Highly recommend!”

“Julia was so awesome and flexible!! I had some concerns with booking a pet sitter at an apartment complex, but Julia made things go incredibly smooth! Will definitely be using her again.”

“Maura was wonderful. She was so attentive and sent amazing pictures. She’s reliable and has amazing communication. I will absolutely be using her in the future and I recommend her 100%!”

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
“Erin was great. Timely, great photo updates, and no news to report. Will definitely be reaching out to her again! That was the first time using Rover, and first time leaving my dog for a full weekend without a family member, and all went well!”

“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.”

“Tyler helped us for a drop in visit with our 12 week old puppy! He was very attentive. We had a video call before hand to go over all instructions. I would definitely book him again!”

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.

“Jo was truly AMAZING! I felt so comfortable with the care she provided for my senior cat while we were away on vacation. Jo was great about keeping us informed with detailed messages on how our cat was doing and everything was done as asked. I could honestly tell our cat felt safe and comfortable in Jo 's care. I highly recommend her to anyone to care for your pet .”

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
“Christina has been awesome spending time to get to know my two dogs, even though one of them is people-phobic. I appreciated her suggestions on ways to try to ensure my little dog takes her medications. She is very caring and enjoyable to work with.”


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.

“Fantastic sitter! Went above and beyond to care for my cat while I was gone for 10 days. Was very communicative and caring. Even watered my plants which was a huge plus!”

About: My dog growing up was a black lab chow mix, so I work well with energetic dogs and love to run and play with them. I love to be outside and would love to take your dog on a walk/hike with me! I joined Rover to spend time with animals, get some exercise, and help you take care of your furry companions. I am hardworking, reliable, and punctual. I’m currently working hybrid so I’m flexible with dog walking times and my ability to dog sit! My job is 9-5, but I can stop over before/after and on breaks between meetings depending on your dog’s needs! I am flexible to either let your dog out in a fenced-in-backyard or take them on a leashed walk! The length and duration of that walk can be adapted to your dogs’ energy levels!
“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!!! ?”

About: I am here to provide you a complete sense of security that your pet is in great hands. I am a true animal lover who truly enjoys the companionship of having a pet around me. My home has an enormous completely fenced in backyard. It is not quite the size of a football field, but close to it. I truly enjoy going for walks however it's even heightens my enjoyment when I have a fury companion to walk with me. There is a park located directly across from my homes. There are also many many residential side streets to take our walks. You have my word that I will follow each and every instruction you have as to how to care for your pet. I would be happy to communicate with you for any questions you might have. I am confident you will be given the reassurance that you have selected an outstanding gentleman to take care of your loved one. I am home the vast majority of the time which makes it an ideal situation to watch your dog(s). I do not have any daily or weekly conflicts. I truly enjoy interacting with dogs. You will find us hanging out at home, as I am a homebody and we will do pretty much everything together. Dogs are my "buddies" and we quickly form a great bond. We spend time playing in the back yard and even can work on some training techniques. Your dog(s) will be kept comfortable as the climate varies. Yes, we have central air to enjoy and comfortable resting areas.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was little. My family had both dogs and cats. I love all animals and I can not wait to meet your little fur babies! Your pet(s) will be treated, loved, and cared for as if they are my own pet. I want to provide an experience for your pet(s) that is so much more than kennels or boarding.

Highly recommend Melissa. Provided daily report and plenty of pics of my kitties. I trusted the were in great hands and I would book with her again. Has experience with senior cats and took special care of my 14 year old with kidney issues making sure litter area was cleaned up and he got his special food. Thank you so much!

We were very happy with our first experience with Kristi watching our 2 kitties. She was kind, professional and a great communicator. it was evident how much she enjoys animals from our meet and great and her messages and many great photos while we were away. We would highly recommend Kristi and hope to have her care for our kitties again in the future.

Dena took such good care of our 19 year old kitty, Shultzie while we were on vacation. She was very dependable with on time check ins and his meds plus some play time and photos. We definitely recommend her and will call on her again the next time we go out of town! It's so nice not to have to worry about the care of your furr baby when you are away!

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!
