About: My name is Ivette and I currently study at Case. My husband is a USPS mail carrier and I work from home. Currently, I have one dog and two rescue cats🐾. During the pandemic, I spent a significant amount of time with my pets indoors where I had the opportunity to take care of two litters that my dogs had. I learned many skills during that time. With age, my dog became a senior dog and had to take oral medication so I am used to giving oral/topical medication to pets. I have been living in the Cleveland area since 2019 but I am originally from Texas. My current home has a fenced back yard and a good route for walks. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.
“I was very impressed from square one with not only the prompt communication, but he and his wife are extremely welcoming and personable! They took care of our pup as if she were their own and I know she was well loved and distracted while we were away. We will definitely be using them again in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shaker Heights
Lana and her daughters did a great job with Penny and I was able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was well taken care of. Penny is a senior dog who has slowed down a lot this year so having a comfortable home with constant human company is all she wants. Lana’s home has a few other animals that Penny adjusted to quickly and I loved hearing how chill she was with the chickens. Lana was responsive and good at communicating how things were going so I was relieved everyone was doing well. I look forward to working with her again!
Travis was great with my dogs. Our Flight back was delayed. He was very understanding of the situation and thoughtful. My dogs seemed to have had a great time with him, they were great spirts and excited when I arrived. This is my second time using Travis and I will definitely use him again.
she always does such a great job and is so amazing about keeping you in the loop and updated, i was away for about 11 days and i have a puppy and a senior pup and her and Colt (her pup) were such amazing sitters and were so great with both of my pups for the long stay 🐾 🦴 💜
