“Once again, Tommy has been cared for by Kathy and Graham so well that we never have to worry when we are away. It's obvious that he remembers and loves them. He enjoys his walks, cuddles and special treats!. The pictures we receive make us smile as well.”

“My dog, Lola, enjoyed Thanksgiving week with Samantha and I’ve already booked the Christmas holiday week for her. That’s high praise for Samantha’s positive style & work ethics. ***** 5 stars!”

“Susan is fantastic. We love leaving Coco with her because when can rest easy knowing she is loved and well cared for. And, the icing on the cake is that Susan takes incredible photos and sends them regularly.”

“Anna took such great care of my dogs. They’re both anxious but she made them feel comfortable. She sent me pictures and updates daily without me asking for them and I really appreciated that. I drove 30 min knowing they would be in good hands. I would def recommend Anna! Thanks so much! 🙏🏻”

“Lucy spent a week at Danielle’s home for boarding and the experience was fantastic, both for me and for Lucy. The photos of Lucy while I was away on a family emergency showed me that she was happy and loving her new doggie friends and the back yard that she could run freely in. Danielle is the best! Lucy and I both think so!”

“Tara and Peter are great dog sitters! I received pictures and update daily. The pups were treated like family pets. I would definitely leave my pups with them in the future.”

“Patchareya was an excellent sitter for my pup. She communicates regularly and provides a lot of care and affection for small dogs. If you have a small dog I would highly recommend her for your future boarding needs. I know I will!”

“Wonderful sitters! Went above and beyond to make sure our diabetic pet was well taken care of, and they communicated throughout the sitting. Will definitely use again and highly recommend.”

“Angela was great with my dog shortie. Her dog colt is very sweet. She was very welcoming and listened carefully to all of my tips. She was super responsive and understood my anxieties about leaving my dog with someone.”

“Susan and Kenny were absolutely wonderful. They send regular updates that included how our dog was doing as well as pictures. They were also easy to contact while we were away and made sure to help our dog acclimate to the new environment (ie. providing other food options when our dog wouldn’t eat her kibble).”

“Great communication, sent me pictures and updates. My dog is still quite high energy and I've had less than stellar experiences at facilities. When I brought her home I could tell she'd been taken care of and was her regular self.”

“Colleen was so great with our dog while we were away! She provided nice updates throughout the trip and was very thorough in collecting information to provide the best care for our dog. 5-star dog sitter!”

“Pamela took great care of Millie while I was on vacation. I had been worried about leaving my dog for a week, but Pam sent me daily updates and pictures, and it was clear Millie was enjoying her time there. She got to spend plenty of time outdoors, and I am sure she also enjoyed the company of Schipp - who was always near by :) I highly recommend Pam - we will be using her again. It's a relief knowing I now have someone I can trust Millie's care to while I am out of town!”

“Thank you so much Summer for taking such good care of my baby! I loved seeing the photos and videos every day and she was so nice about letting us visit ahead of time which put my anxiety at ease. Will definitely book with Summer again next time I gotta go out of town !”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, raising and training my Yorkie, Remy, until his passing at 14, and my XL Bully, Zebo, for the past 11 years. Since joining Rover in 2021, I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. Young, senior, hyperactive, and socially reserved. I provide frequent walks, playtime, and even baths to ensure pups are happy, healthy, and cared for like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. As a lifelong dog owner, I start my mornings with walks and playtime to ensure pups get their energy out. Throughout the day, I dedicate time to feeding, cuddling, and engaging with each dog based on their needs. Whether that’s quiet companionship or active play. Evenings are for winding down with more walks and care, ensuring every pet feels loved and attended to as part of my family. In my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel like part of the family. I provide frequent walks, designated playtime, and cozy spaces to relax. Pets receive plenty of love, attention, and care throughout the day, with routines tailored to their specific needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I ensure their routines remain consistent. From feeding schedules and walks to playtime and cuddles, I provide attentive care while keeping their environment clean, familiar, and stress-free. Whether in my home or theirs, pets are my priority, and I treat them as if they were my own.
“Our Havanese enjoyed his time with Anne! She was communicative with drop off/pickup and providing us updates. She bonded with our dog over the weekend he boarded with her. Taking him out for 4 walks, a pupcone at Starbucks and treats/meals we had provided - she was an ideal petsitter. We would definitely use her again if the opportunity comes up.”

“Takia hosted my sheepadoodle during some late planned holiday travel. She was very accommodating as we feed a raw diet to my dog, and her communication and updates were great during my time away.”

“We absolutely loved Tina an Rick. I felt like my dog(Milo) was very well taken cared for and in loving hands. We received daily updates that included pictures or videos. We also had an emergency and had to extend his stay and they were very accommodating. I also loved how they included at the end of his stay a little report of how his stay was. I will definitely use them again as i felt like they really treated my baby as they would their own dog.”

“Very communicative and responsive! We were hesitant about leaving Simon with anyone but Austin made it a great experience. Will definitely book him again when we need a cat sitter”

“Ajitha was fantastic! Apollo typically has anxiety when first being somewhere new, and Ajitha had no issues with getting him comfortable, she is lovely, and kind, and I feel very safe keeping my boy with her. Thank you!”

Shaker Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Anna was wonderful with my pup and is just a special person who loves animals. Her home was amazing and is perfect for any dog. The backyard was a special treat for sure for my Chip. I cannot recommend Anna and her home enough. I knew my dog was very well taken care of and in great hands. Excellent communication as well. Thank you Anna and Gabe too 😘 ❤️

Seymour is my shadow at home and we were nervous how he would do with the separation anxiety of a week away from us. He had an absolute BLAST staying with Tongyezhi and her family. He got walks, romps in the fenced in back yard and plenty of snuggle time. We got lots of incredible pictures which was great peace of mind knowing we didn't have to worry about him missing home. Tongyezhi is the absolute best and we will always go to her for any future boarding.

Mareike was an excellent host for our dog Eloise and it was very evident that Eloise had a wonderful time, was well taken care of, and would be happy to return. We were traveling to deal with estate matters and it was a tremendous help that we did not have to worry about Eloise who was left in the expert care of Mareike.

Zsolt and Renata took wonderful care of my pup, Ollie. They asked thoughtful questions about his routine to help him feel right at home. I also really appreciated the regular updates, including photos and videos. I would absolutely recommend trusting them with your dog — your dog will be in excellent hands. Thank you so much Zsolt, Renata, and Mia! - Valentina and Ollie
