“Amy is the best cat sitter. Our Lola is not social with anyone but us. However, she somehow lures Lola out of her comfort zone & plays with her. Definitely the cat whisperer!!”


“Marie was a Godsend! I have never left my 2 cats but wanted to attend a wedding in Mexico. From the moment I met Marie, I knew my fur babies would be in good hands. She sent me pics twice a day and let me know how my girls were doing. Not only do I have a cat sitter, I have a new friend as well :) Marie is loving and responsible and I highly recommend her!!”


“Claudia dropped in to feed and let my dogs out over a long weekend. Claudia was so sweet and communicative! She gave me excellent updates and sent tons of pictures. I think she even brought them a toy. My dogs looked super happy and well-cared for and I will definitely book with Claudia again!”


“This was the first time using Rover. Kara was wonderful and i appreciated that she stopped by to meet Lucy before beginning her drop in visits.”


“100% the best care I could’ve asked for! All of my fur babies were so well taken care of the whole weekend we went away! It was our first time ever leaving our 2 dogs and 3 cats and I will admit I was pretty nervous, Maya gave us nothing but reassurance! She sent so many pictures, kept us updated the whole time, and even made sure everything was kept in place for us. I will definitely keep in contact to use her as a sitter again! If you’re looking for a class act pet sitter, you found your girl!”


“Peyton is an absolutely amazingly kind and competent sitter. Top of the line. I all have to book early in future to ensure her care for our Hobie cat in the future.”


“Bridgette was absolutely amazing & accommodating for my crazy schedule/situation. She did a great job with my pet in terms of walking, feeding, and giving consistent updates - I will definitely book her again!!”


“Livana is a sweetheart. It was a pleasure to meet her and our dog Nessie seemed happy and enjoyed her time with Liv. I definitely recommend her and will be using her services again soon.”


About: I have taken care of family pets since I was young. As I grew older, I adopted my own pets and have volunteered in animal shelters as well. I have always had dogs and cats in my life and it has grown to guinea pigs and a bearded dragon. I'm able to give baths, do walks, and bathroom breaks and provide ample amounts of play time. I am available for Labor Day weekend! I am also a full time stay at home mother so currently all of my days and times of the week are free and open, even weekends. I let all of my animals on my furniture if they want in my home. They all have their special homes and spots where they can be in peace until they come out with the rest of the family. My home is kept clear of dangerous items, tiny small toys for example that pets might eat.

About: I have been around and taken care of all kinds of animals dogs, cats, hamsters, Guinea pigs, fish, birds of all shapes and sizes, ducks, chickens, tarantula, pig, ferret, and hermit crabs I am currently working part time so I will be able to give your furry, finned, feathered, family members all the love and care that they need. I give them access to all the food, water, treats and toys. To keep them happy, healthy, relaxed or occupied by playing with them whether it's just talking to them, playing with toys with them or going on walks. They are allowed on the furniture

About: Hello! My name is Lois and I am 25 years old. I live with my fiancé Aaron, he is a wonderful man, gentle, and kind man. His love for animals is equal to mine. I am from Pittsburgh originally but, I have since moved to North Jackson! I live in a sweet, cozy, home. My property is very private, with lots of land for animals to play on safely. I will be the sole caretaker for your pet, and I am able to dedicate my full attention and provide round-the-clock care and attention for your pet. I have an almost 2 year old son, that I co-parent with his father. So he is here every other week, if you prefer to arrange a time when he is or isn’t here, for your or his safety. I 100% will do that. I currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs, all are very friendly and love other animals. They are absolutely great role models for other dogs. I occasionally foster dogs that need homes, and they are absolutely incredible. Our heeler is a very big charmer and is extremely playful. Our poodle is laid back, reserved, but definitely loves to play. They both love exploring and hiking. I am outside almost all day with them, and when it’s too hot we go out in intervals. Cool off, drink/eat, refresh, and we’re back outside playing and enjoying nature. Our closest neighbor is family, and they equally love animals, our dogs will visit for treats haha. If you’d would like our animals separate from any of your animals, I can arrange that. Just please let me know ahead of time! My experience with animals: I have been around dogs, cats, and exotic animals pretty much since I was born. I've always had a passion for animals, I truly love and value everything from the tiniest bug to the tallest horse haha. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles (venomous and non-venomous) and fish. I have trained show dogs since the age of 13, and have ethically bred and assisted many litters alongside my mother and/or equally knowledgeable/highly experienced mentors. My mother was very passionate about showing dogs and was an amazing obedience trainer. She has won many shows and competitions across the country. To the point where she had #1 dogs for breed and in obedience. I have grown up and learned many techniques from her specifically. My mother and I, also have plenty of experience with rescue work, for many years we rescued dogs from high-kill shelters, we then rehabilitated them for many months before finding their destined home. We also have done years of rescue work with cats/kittens, rescuing injured and/or abandoned cats/kittens and rehabilitating them until they were eventually ready to go to their forever homes as-well. At one point in my life, I co-founded an exotic animal transport business. We traveled the country transporting exotic animals for zoos, rescues, conservations, and private collectors. At one point, having over 100 venomous/non-venomous reptiles. Obviously, I have left that behind now that I have my son. I also have alot of experience with poultry aswell, I used to raise and rescue ducks, chickens, and turkeys! I have worked in pet stores, spend lots of spare time studying, learning, and have had a lot of incredible mentors in my life. I can give advice in foods, toys, preventatives, and lots of other animal supplies. I can also give advice on any behavioral issues that your pet may have. I am currently training my poodle to be my personal service dog. I definitely have a passion for helping animals.. I find that many animals are sadly misunderstood, but every one is just as valuable and deserving of love as the next. If you are considering me as a pet sitter, please feel free to write me with any questions you may have. I’ll respond as soon as possible! Im more than willing to work on prices as-well, it’s hard to get by nowadays and I know things are easy. I’m honestly much more interested in meeting and caring for pets than making a profit from someone who just needs some help. Please feel free to look through the gallery of my photos, I would say 90% of the animals shown were either my personal pets or rescues. Otherwise, I was pet-sitting them! :) LOISW05421, https://www.rover.com/sit/loisw05421 *Discount code* I don’t work, I am blessed to be a stay-at-home mom. I wake up at 7am and go to bed at 10pm. I have full availability! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I know how to manage dogs with anxiety, mental disorders, and some types of aggression. I have a variety of crates, if you would like me to use them. I would NEVER use a crate that is too small, and I would NEVER leave your dog alone in the crate unless you specifically request it. Your animal will be my top priority and concern, I will care and love them as if they were my own!

About: I've been taking care of my pets personally for close to 20 years. I pet sit for multiple friends while they are out of town or when they work off schedules like midnights. I work from home and do a lot of meetings. With notice, my schedule can be flexible and help a lot of different pet care needs. Safety and trust: I frequently work with children through the local PTA and I teach children how to play board games at a yearly gaming convention. Through this work, I have to pass regular background checks.

“Kimberly went way above and beyond what was asked of her. She took excellent care of our dog. She will be the first person we contact the next time we need our dog taken care of.”


About: Hello families! My name is Tanner. I am currently majoring in psychology at Youngstown State University. I graduated from Ursuline High School in 2022.

I can provide references and background clearances upon request. I am available for drop in visits and overnight stays for pets that might need a little extra love!

I am flexible with my schedule so we can work out any times needed I make sure they get lots of love, pets, and plenty of exercise or playtime but ultimately whatever the dog needs is what I will stick with.

About: Even as a baby I have always been around animals, and when I started to crawl and sit up my first playmates was a grey rescue cat and a old rottweiler. As I grew up I became more of a animal lover, showing no fear believing that every animal deserve love and to be treated right I currently do not have a job besides helping watching my niece once in awhile, while my parents are at work and I will soon being enrolling in college part time I live on a 160 acre farm, with open fields, a lake and plenty of space to play. A very long drive way, so it there will always be distance between us and a main road. I also have three pug-chihuahua of my own, who will either love to play with your pet or simply just leave them be, the dogs are fine with cats, seeing as I have two of my own, the cats will hide at first until they know your pet better. And lastly I have a rabbit who is shy and curious. None have any of my animals have ever been aggressive and all my cats and dogs are fixed. But if needed I can separate and crate your pet if needed.

“Lauren does an excellent job taking care of my dog. She is kind and compassionate and Pepper loves her. S”

Melissa V.
“I am a little late in getting out this review, but in no way was it because I was disinterested or not wanting to do so..On the contrary, I absolutely felt the need to write this because of the loving service I felt my family had received from this Pet Sitter. Our family has 2 pets, a dog(Susy) and a cat(Milu) and like most on this site, we deem them to be our precious little babies. They never have really been away from the family for any great length of time, so finding someone to watch and care for them was very important to us. My family was to be in South America for a week, while I was away from home that same time for my work. I had found a Pet Sitter very close to our home for Susy, but could not find anyone for Milu. After much searching, I realized the Rover website and there found numerous Pet Sitters available for Milu. After much searching, we were able to procure the services of a Sitter on Rover and set the contract. Then, with 1 week before our departure, the contractor informed us that she had to cancel our reservation because of health issues in her immediate family and would not be in the area during the needed time. That really put us in dilemma to find someone in such short time. So we searched the Rover site and found several, but all the family agreed to contact Melissa... There were several things that greatly impressed us about Melissa. First there were the reviews. While there were not many, Melissa's reviews were actually very accurate and factual about the care that our Milu would receive. They spoke of the great love she had for animals, as we all experienced firsthand. As I had mentioned, our babies had not been away from us and Milu is very timid with strangers. So, we were surprised when we actually brought her to Melissa and after Milu s brief inspection of her new abode (Lol), she was right there, on the couch and happy as can be. I know that animals sense our love for them and I was amazed at how comfortable she was at that time. Later photos, which Melissa sent through the week, also confirmed how tranquil our precious niña was. In fact, when I returned a week later for Milu, she went to Melissa, not to me and she actually cried when I took her away. That experience was special to me and I knew then that our family had made the correct decision in choosing Melissa. Another proof to me that Milu was very comfortable there, was how she interacted with Melissa's young son. Normally, she runs and hides from children, but the pictures showed her actively playing with the boy! I have never seen her do this with any other children, but my own. I can think of no other magic that could have done that, but love. Yes, I am and family are so pleased with the decision we made to contract Milu's care with Melissa. I think that anyone who loves their pet would also have the same impressions with Melissa's care. I almost never write reviews, but felt the need to express my thoughts and feelings with this one. Thank you Melissa for taking care of our Milu! And, I actually do think that Milu misses you!!!!”

Amy is fantastic with our dog, Dixie! She spends time playing and taking pictures. We feel very comfortable when we know she’s coming! She is very reliable!!

If you have cats like we do, Marie is the best! She was engaged with our cat, provided updates and pics, and even checked back in after we returned home. The kitties didn't get lost, or run out, and Marie was very respectful of our home and instructions. Great job!
