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 taking care of Rocky and Sugar! She kept and was on time for all drop-ins and included adorable photos with all their report cards. I highly recommend Emily!”
“I booked Kristi on short notice to watch 2 kittens I am fostering and she was wonderful! The kittens really took to her and she did an amazing job! I will absolutely book her again!”

“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!
“We used Mariah again for vacation this year, as she did such an amazing job last time! We will definitely keep using her services for any future needs! Communication was excellent and our pup loves her!”

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: 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 We are in the middle of being back to school and that includes me as well. I am currently in graduate school so I will keep my calendar as up to date as I can. 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
“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!”

“Leslie took very good care of my two kitties for a week, dropping in twice daily to feed and interact a bit with them while I was gone. She sent pics daily too, as well as brining in the mail and even going the extra mile to do a bit of watering on the back patio per my request. I would highly recommend Leslie!”


About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and small animals. I’ve had pets my entire life and currently have two cats of my own. Friends, family, and neighbors regularly trust me for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including puppies and kittens, senior pets, and animals with medical needs. I have experience administering oral medications and monitoring chronic conditions. As an incoming medical student, I’m highly detail-oriented, responsible, and attentive to changes in behavior or health. I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter working with feral cats to help socialize them for adoption. This experience strengthened my patience, confidence, and ability to read animal body language — especially with shy, anxious, or high-energy pets. In addition to cats and dogs, I’m comfortable caring for bunnies, turtles, and other small animals. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. You can expect consistent communication, photo updates, and dependable care every time. I work full-time from 8 AM to 4 PM on weekdays and am an incoming medical student. I’m available for morning visits before work, evening visits after work, and flexible weekend scheduling. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I prioritize reliability to ensure your pets are well cared for. Whether I’m caring for cats or dogs, I prioritize safety and routine. I follow feeding instructions carefully, refresh water, ensure doors and gates are secure, and provide enrichment tailored to your pet’s needs. I treat every home with respect and always communicate clearly with updates and photos. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities.
“Mitchell has watched the pups a couple times now and I couldn’t be happier. He’s great around the dogs, always communicates what’s going on in real time. It’s nice to be at ease when I’m away knowing Gladstone and Potroast are in good hands!”

“Absolutely great! Helped us out on short notice, went with the flow for our senior dogs extra needs, and took great care of our boys! Thank you, we will be returning clients.”

About: I currently have a 3 year old golden retriever named Honey that we’ve had since she was 9 weeks old. Goofy and playful dogs are my absolute favorite! While I don’t have specific training regarding dogs / dog sitting but I am looking forward to learn more and gain more experience! I am currently working full time on a 10pm-6am shift. I am willing to work out my off time schedule to fit your needs! I love to be around dogs and take safety as my top priority. I’ll make sure they are having fun and being safe! I can’t wait to meet your pet(s)!

Andrea was quick to respond and able to help on short notice. Though she only needed to take Zo out in the front yard to potty, she went the extra mile to take her on a walk during each visit, which I (and Zo) really appreciated! We will be using Andrea to dog sit while we are away for our wedding and I know Zoe will be in good hands 😊

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!
