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
About: I've loved cats my whole life! I have three cats of my own, and have fostered almost a hundred cats through the Cleveland APL. I have experience with all ages and temperaments, from friendly kittens to shy adults. I am able to tell when a cat wants attention, and work with cats who need a little bit more space to feel confident. I am able to give pills, eyedrops, and other medications to cats as needed. I can recognize changes in behaviors and alert pet owners when something seems concerning. My experience doesn't end with cats! I've owned rats, mice and hamsters and understand the importance of having someone experienced with small animals to watch them. Your small pets will receive the same high quality of care. I'm a remote worker so I have plenty of time for drop in visits as needed! My schedule is flexible, and I want to make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible. I'm excited to care for your pets in your home. I am very careful around doors to the home, as I know how quickly pets can escape. I will follow your instructions closely to keep their daily routine as close to normal as possible.
About: I have taken care of senior dogs for over 4 years. Clients trust me to keep their pets needs in mind while I am watching them. I am currently an online student, so that means my schedule is wide open for taking care of and getting to know your precious pets! I maintain the pet's normal routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. I ensure their feeding, water, and exercise needs are met on schedule and take extra care to keep their environment clean and tidy. I respect the home by keeping it clean and secure and am happy to provide updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, and caring for them has always been a huge part of my life. From energetic puppies to senior dogs, I’ve had experience with dogs at all stages of life and have trained every dog I’ve owned. I’m patient, attentive, and believe every pet has their own personality and needs. I’ve also helped friends with their dogs, whether they needed some extra training, exercise, attention, or simply someone they could trust to care for their pets while they were away. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone else, so I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, and lots of love while you’re away. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide. My own dog, Lucy, is a big part of my life, and she’s taught me just how much personality and love our four-legged friends can bring into our lives. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pet and become their new BFF! 🐶❤️ I currently work part-time at Raising Cane’s, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. My shifts are generally 6–8 hours, and I’m able to provide pet care before and after work. I plan my schedule around my bookings so I can make sure every pet gets the attention and care they need. I’m also able to accommodate different routines and special instructions whenever possible. If your pet needs medication, I can make arrangements to provide it and can coordinate my schedule to make sure they receive it on time. I’m happy to communicate with you throughout the visit and provide updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is being well cared for while you’re away I treat every pet with patience, care, and respect. I make sure they are in a safe and comfortable environment, always have access to fresh water, and are supervised during walks and playtime. I also follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure pets feel happy and loved while they’re in my care.

“Outstanding guy! My dog truly enjoyed her walk with Brian. He is kind, affectionate and has a deep understanding of dogs’ behavior. Gave me lots of helpful tips for loose leash walking and how to make my dog not to jump up when she sees new people.”
About: Hi I'm Christabel I have a strong love for pets! I have 5 years of experience as a pet sitter that started out taking care of pets of all kind for my neighbors, friends and family. I currently have a dog named Owen (AKA MonkeyMan). He is a 17 year old Tibetan Spaniel mix who thinks he's a 1 year old Rottweiler living his best life. I have had four pets in my life (including a chicken named Jackie). I also have previous experience as a playtime companion at a cat adoption center in PetSmart. I have previously cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, a fish, and a guinea pig named Herbert. I am a reliable and responsible animal lover looking for extra walks and cuddles with some fur friends. I am energetic, loving and patient with them. I am very flexible with the hours and days I can work. Looking forward to loving on your furry babies like their my own! Please do not hesitate to ask questions there are no stupid questions when it comes to your fur babies! Due to being in school virtually I am able to care for your pet on very short notice. For pet sitting/play times, I do prefer mornings and evenings but I have plenty of other times to walk or play with your fur babies. When I enter your home the 1st thing I'll do is greet your fur baby, followed by a treat! I'm a strong believer that this is their time that's why you'll see me taking them to a local park or playing with their favorite toy during our time together. I currently not working so I’ll be home most of the time with your pet! i’m free 24 seven this makes me ideal for all pets especially pets that need high levels of interaction! I have a fenced backyard that your fur baby can play in! I do have two cats. They tend to hide when other people come over, but they’re not reactive.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rocky River
Kellie is great with our dog, Henry! He gets so excited whenever he sees her, which tells us he really enjoys her company. She walks him while we’re away from home, and we always come back to a happy, well-exercised pup with no accidents. We’re so happy to have found someone we can trust to take such good care of Henry!
Lily was willing to meet prior to get us acquainted and get key copies. Our first session was great. I appreciate having a verified person to feel comfortable letting someone else enter my home and take care of my baby when I can't. I expect this to improve flexibility and increase Lucy and my quality of life. I plan to schedule Lily again!
Michael is an awesome care provider for my dog Sirius! I highly recommend his services. He communicates clearly, is very consistent, thought and most importantly very kind. Unfortunately we have to move and will no longer be able to have him take care of Sirius. I wish him the best!
