About: I noticed I’m always offering to take care of everyone’s pets in my personal life (HUGE animal lover) so I figured it’s time to join Rover. I’ve taken care of other pet owners cats, dogs, and rabbits in the past. I’ve had cats, dogs, and rabbits as pets as well as hamsters, goats, ducks, and fish growing up. I grew up in a small town in Ohio and my grandparents had a farm so I was around farm animals often. I don’t currently have any pets of my own as I work 10 hour shifts 4 days a week (nurse) so I would absolutely LOVE to watch and walk your pets whenever I’m not at work! Since I work long hours and am not in a good position to get a pet of my own at this time, I would love nothing more than to share the love with your pet(s). I do have a full time job but I’m available on weekends and evenings after approximately 6:30pm (perfect time for walks!). I also have one off day during the week that rotates. I do not have any pets of my own so your pet would have my full attention (also a plus if your pet does not get along well with other pets).
“Emily did a great job caring for my 2 cats! She kept me updated everyday and sent photos. I never was concerned about their care while I was away. Her communication was great!”
“Kristi was wonderful! Her communication was excellent (and great photos, too!), and I could relax and know my cat was in good hands. My cat can be shy, but he took to Kristi immediately. I hope to work with her again.”
“Justine did a great job while we were gone for the weekend. Not only did she give us plenty of pictures with our updates, but our cats were so calm and relaxed when we got home. That’s how we know she did a really good job. I would for sure recommend Justine to anyone.”
“Leslie is amazing. She takes great care of our fur babies and always does a little extra that helps us know things will be fine while we are gone (water plants, bring in mail, etc).”
“Madison was great! Our shy but sweet kitten warmed up to her really fast and I think they had a great time! Madison was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos. She also offered to help out with other house things which was so kind!! Thank you!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life! I grew up with 2 dogs, and my whole family also has dogs that I often take care of for them when they go on trips! The hours I work don’t allow me to have a pet of my own, but I’d love to take care of yours! I’m a pediatric nurse at rainbow babies and children’s hospital, and I work 3 days a week which leaves lots of days to care for your pet! Working 12 shifts doesn’t allow me to have a pet of my own, so I’d love to care for yours! Being a nurse I have a caring and safe nature about me, which caries over into everyday life. I will do everything I can to make your pet feel loved, cared for, and safe while you’re away!
“Mariah was incredibly respectful, caring, and kind when it came to caring for our two cats. We received a plethora of photos each day. She played with them, checked their litter box, and cuddled each and every visit. Our cats were thrilled. She was flexible and attentive to their needs. I highly recommend her to anyone that would ask!”
“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!”
“Margot has been walking and taking care of my dogs for years. She is truly compassionate, knowledgeable, and organized! Her attention to detail always leaves me feeling assured that my dogs are in the best hands 🩷”
“Mitchell did an incredible job of caring for my cat Star, absolutely will book again if available! Was my first time using and made me very comfortable with Star under Mitchell's very attentive care!”
About: Hello! Nice to meet you, I'm Nick. I offer comprehensive pet care, backed by my lifelong experience growing up with both cats and dogs. I've cared for a variety of breeds, from Great Danes and German Shepherds to miniature poodles and tabby cats. My partner and I currently have two cats of our own, Calcifer and Ponyo, whom we’ve lovingly cared for over the past seven years. I’m dedicated to providing attentive and personalized care for every pet I look after. Some of my favorite hobbies include trying out the local coffee shops, traveling, and catching a show with friends. I currently work fully remote, so I tend to set my own schedule making it very flexible to give your pet the attention they need. I am always attentive and mindful to any animal in my care. It is important to me that your pet is getting the attention they deserve while in my care.
About: What sets me apart is the way I genuinely care for dogs as individuals—not just as pets, but as family members. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level so they feel safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or shy and needs extra reassurance, I adapt my care to meet their needs. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication, and I make sure pet parents feel at ease with regular updates, photos, and messages. I also respect routines—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions—because I know how important familiarity is for a dog’s well-being. My goal isn’t just to “watch” your dog, but to make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and cared for the entire time you’re gone. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I do work a full time job, however I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m used to structuring my day to include walks, feeding times, play, and check-ins, and I prioritize sticking to each pet’s normal routine. I’m reliable, organized, and mindful of timing, so dogs are never rushed or overlooked. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I make sure every pet gets the time, care, and affection they deserve. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I intentionally plan for. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication (if applicable), and any special care requests. In a client’s home, I respect their space and focus on keeping the pet’s routine as normal as possible. I provide companionship, exercise, enrichment, and consistency, while also maintaining the home as instructed. I communicate regularly with updates and photos so pet parents feel confident and at ease.My goal is always to create a stress-free, loving experience where pets feel secure and cared for.
“Lilly was a great, attentive sitter. Our earliest comminications showed enthusiasm and a genuine interest in the well being of my pet. All of her questions were thoughtful and demonstrated her knowledge of how to care for pets. When I was gone, her check ins were always thorough.”
“We had Breon come to our home for drop in visits with our golden retriever while we were on vacation. She came three times a day and spent a lot of time with him! She sent us many photos and videos which we loved. We came back to a very happy and calm boy. Breon also did a few things around the house to be helpful, we didn’t even have to ask. She was fantastic and we highly recommend her! We will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Andrea is amazing, there is no other way to put it. If you book her to take care of your fur babies just know that they will be snuggled and well cared for the entire time you are away. My cats were immediately comfortable around her too which is always a plus. I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for pet care in the future!”
“I am very happy to have chosen Christiana to take care of my kitties over the weekend. It was my first time leaving them alone but I believe they had a really good time. Christiana came to meet them a couple of days before and I could feel that she truly cared about cats and animals in general. I have already booked her for another weekend. I would like to recommend her to the Rover community!”
“After my regular rover moved, and I was cancelled on and ghosted by two other rovers (!!!) I was in a huge pinch for upcoming travel and someone to drop in for my kitties. Megan stepped in and helped me on what I know was super short notice, and took incredible care of my 🐈⬛🐈 two kitties. She was very communicative and didn’t mess around - which was a huge breath of fresh air! She is very dependable, you can tell from your first interaction. I was so nervous to have them only get drop in visits, but when I got back they were happy and healthy, and my house was in perfect shape. I will definitely book Megan again!”

Rocky River cat parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first experience using Rover and I was super nervous to leave my three newly adopted five month old kittens when I had to go out of town. Kristi is hands-down the best gift I ever could’ve asked for to care for my precious babies! They loved her instantly from the meet and greet. She was an excellent communicator and provided several updates and went above and beyond. I was out of town during an extremely challenging snowstorm we had back home and I did not even worry for a second as I knew that the kittens were in the best hands possible. I would absolutely recommend Kristi to anyone who is even thinking about needing someone to care for their pets. She truly loves them and treats them like family!
Taylor visited my cats twice a day for the last week. I wasn't sure she would even see them as they tend to hide from unfamiliar people. On her first visit, she sent pictures of both cats relaxing next to her. It was an amazing feeling and my vacation so much more fun because I knew my babies were in good hands, Thank you Taylor, My cats hope to see you again.
Candice took great care of our kitties while we were away on vacation! She was great with communication and did all requested care tasks while also bringing in packages and cleaning up after messes made by our mischievous cat. Both of our cats seemed to warm up to her immediately, even our more timid cat that typically hides from all humans that aren’t us. We will definitely look to book Candice again for future drop in visits.
Christabel was great! She came to do a meet and greet about a week before we went on vacation, and while here asked if we wanted her to water plants, bring in mail, etc. She was very conscientious and updated us twice/day on the pets. When we got home home both were happy and well cared for. Will hire again!
