“Great sitter - highly recommended. He was easy to talk to and easy to work with, and I could tell that he genuinely loves animals. My pets seemed to love him too. I got a lot of photo updates while we were gone, and my animals were happy and relaxed when we got home. We don't travel often, but David will be our first call next time we need someone to watch our little pack.”


About: I love animals. I grew up with dogs and have been around cows and horses. Every animal is special to me. Your dog will be treated as one of my own when with or around me. I have 1 small dog who is very playful with other dogs. I live close enough to a park that we frequent often. We live in a spacious house so your dog will have tons of room here. I hope to get the chance to get to know you and your pup. Please feel free to ask any questions. I do have a full time job beyond dog sitting but my schedule still allows me to sit or walk other dogs as needed. I am available for most holidays. Safety of your pet is my number one priority. I do not have a fully fenced yard (yet) but your pet would never be outside unattended.

“Molly was great! She stayed at our house and watched our Great Dane. She kept us updated and sent photos. Our dog is high maintenance and she did a great job caring for her. I recommend Molly and will use her again.”


About: I've been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old, so you could say it's in my blood. Over the years, I've learned so much about their different personalities and needs. One of the most special dogs in my life was my own, who lived to the incredible age of 18. He was a constant companion and taught me so much about loyalty and love. That experience really shaped my approach to dog care, making me extra attentive and dedicated to their well-being. I also have experience with cats and rabbits as well. I usually work my other job in the mornings, but I can be flexible to fit your schedule. Let me know what times work best for you, and I'll do my best to accommodate! Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I always make sure they have a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I follow their regular feeding and exercise routines, and I'm always attentive to their individual needs and quirks. Lots of playtime, cuddles, and positive reinforcement are definitely part of the deal!

“We loved Jana! She was kind, courteous and polite always. She sent us lots of pictures and kept in communication with us. Our home was clean and she even stripped the bed of the linens. 10/10 would/will call her again!!”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember—most of them high-energy Beagles—so I know firsthand how much love, patience, and consistency pets need. What sets me apart is not just my experience, but my genuine connection with animals and understanding of their unique personalities and needs. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies to senior dogs needing medication and a gentler routine. I’m confident with leash training, reinforcing basic commands, administering meds, and offering plenty of structured playtime and affection. Whether your pet needs a jogging buddy, a calm companion, or someone to stick to their routine like clockwork, I’m here to help them feel safe, loved, and right at home! My primary job is remote, which allows me the flexibility to work from anywhere. However, I do currently work part-time on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I am typically home by 1:00 PM. In addition, my weekends are completely open and available. I live in a peaceful, low-traffic area with over 20 acres of walking paths and wooded trails—perfect for outdoor exercise and exploration. I also have a wraparound porch with multiple leads for safe and relaxed outdoor time. I have two friendly, playful female dogs of my own, and I’m experienced in managing multi-dog environments. If needed, I’m fully capable of crating or separating pets to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. I’m committed to providing attentive, personalized care and any support your friend may need to feel right at home!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets—dogs, cats, and small animals. From daily walks and feedings to administering medications and providing comfort, I’ve built trust with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to learn their routine, understand their behavior, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you always feel connected. I’m currently working part time so I will be available Saturdays from 12a-9p and Sunday 12a-9p. I also will take requests for other days, I can work with you! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible—feeding them on schedule, giving plenty of love and attention, keeping their space clean, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I respect their environment and follow any specific instructions closely. While I don’t currently have a dog in my own home, that allows me to give your pet my full attention without distractions. My dog currently passed so we have an electric fence but that’s it! If your pet stays with me, they’ll have a clean, calm, pet-friendly space with lots of one-on-one care, playtime, and love. I’m all about making them feel at home—whether it’s their place or mine.

About: As a dedicated dog lover and proud owner of two golden retrievers, I understand that every dog is family. My experience caring for my own pups has given me firsthand knowledge of everything from puppy energy to the gentle needs of senior dogs. I provide patient, loving care tailored to each dog’s personality, age, and routine. Whether it’s keeping your energetic pup entertained or giving extra attention to older dogs, I treat every dog like my own—with love, consistency, and a whole lot of belly rubs. I’m a college student currently off for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule! I’m available weekdays from early mornings through early evenings. While I prefer daytime care, I can also accommodate overnight stays with advance notice. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I’m excited to spend my summer giving dogs the attention, playtime, and love they deserve! While I don’t offer in-home boarding, I’m happy to care for your dog in the comfort of your own home. I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, and I’ll treat your home and your dog with the utmost respect and care. My own dogs are protective, so I don’t offer playdates, but I’m more than happy to take your pup on walks, to the park, or to any favorite spots they enjoy. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities.

About: I have grown up with animals all of my life. I am used to taking my two dogs on walks every evening and am comfortable with giving pets medication. I have watched pets of all sizes and ages and believe my flexible schedule would make me the perfect pet sitting candidate. I am a homebody and love spending extra time with your pet when I’m available to do so! I have my own business so my schedule is very flexible. I am available at almost anytime of the day and can easily work from home (weekends may vary). I have two dogs of my own, so I am used to a strict pet schedule as far as feeding, potty breaks, play time, etc. I am also used to sleeping with dogs and walking/playing with them regularly.

About: Hi! I’m Riley — a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet sitter based in Mansfield, OH. I’m currently a junior at Ohio State University and home for the summer, and I’d love to help care for your pets while you’re away! I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities — including anxious pets and seniors. I offer patient, loving, and reliable care like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, medication, or just some cuddles and attention, I’m happy to help. 🐾 Services I offer: • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • Cat care • Pet sitting (in your home) • Flexible holiday/weekend availability You can trust that your pet will be in caring hands. Feel free to message me with any questions or to set up a meet-and-greet! I am currently a full time daycare teacher but I have open weekends and free everyday during the week after 6! I am willing to also work with your schedule! I would not only respect your animals and provide them with great care but I would do the same for your house and animals surrounding environment. I will bring great respect and make sure you feel safe leaving your pets with me.

About: I’ve had pets in my household since I was little. I’ve taken care of family’s cats and dogs, as well as my own. I’ve been responsible for taking care of animals as young as birth up to the last moments of their lives. I’m very reliable, responsible and respectful to you, your pet and your home. I currently work full time night shift at a local nursing home (7pm-7am) I’m perfect for drop in visits during the day while you’re away at work or on a day trip! I’m off every weekend. Great for overnight stays. I’m very flexible and willing to accommodate for any needs of the client. I have a Pug, Aussie and Weimaraner living out in the country near a highway. I always take precaution and make sure my dogs have collars/harness on while outside. So making sure your dog is safe is guaranteed!

About: Hey there! My name is Dorottya. I've taken care of different kinds of pets since I was a kid and I always seem to be a pet magnet when I visit my friends, they just can't get enough of my cuddles. I've also been known to talk and sing to animals, it makes them happy and sooths them. I believe that creating a comfortable and caring environment while pet owners are away will help bridge the gap between the times they will be together again. No one wants a sad puppy or kitty while pet parents are away. My main options on here are for house sitting and dog walking. I have worked as a nurse for 10 years, so I have a medical background. I work full-time on my own business and typically leave a couple days open to my rover clients. I'm currently working on my own business, and I'm available to pet sit and dog walk a couple days a week from 9 am to overnight when needed. I respect the homes of my clients when pet sitting, or dog walking. I love to tailor the day to fit the individual pet's needs and their schedules for feedings, medications (if pet is taking them), potty, and activities (play time or walking).
