“Chris was wonderful! The boys absolutely loved him. We have a stronger/less leash trained GSD I was worried about and he had no issues. He even set up a water station along the walk route to make sure they were well hydrated!”
“Kate is super sweet. She sent us pictures of our dog, took her on some longer walks, and hung out/spent time giving her some pets and attention in our home. As this was our first time using Rover, Kate also came over to meet the dog before we left for our trip. We would absolutely recommend Kate to anyone looking for a dog walker/sitter for their pet and will definitely ask for Kate again when we need a sitter for our dog!”
“I booked Octavia for a last minute walk with my pup and everything was fantastic! We had good communication, she was on time, and she gave a great summary at the end of the walk. I’m adding her to my roster of walkers ASAP.”

“Mike was so great with our dog Toby. He walked Toby twice a day for two weeks while we were on vacation, and also fed him. Mike was terrific communicating with us the entire time to let us know how things were going and alerting us to any issues he saw at our house while we were gone. Thank you, Mike!!!!”
“James was very responsive to my initial request, met with me and the dogs to learn our needs, routine and equipment. He notified me before and after the walk which gave me a sense of security since I was out of town. He will be another Rover asset to add to our family.”
“Brittany has been a great addition to Corbin's routine. She comes daily to walk, feed and play with him. She provides me with super cute pictures and an update on how he did”
About: Hello pet parent! 🐾 A bit about me - I had a family cat and dog for around 13 years total growing up. I helped feed, hydrate, walk, clean-up after, bathe, and play with both of them. I also assisted in taking them to the vet and giving them medication when necessary. Outside of my family pets, I have a summer’s worth of experience cat sitting for a family friend and a summer’s worth of experience volunteering for my hometown’s local humane society/animal shelter. Nowadays, the majority of my pet time is spent occasionally dog sitting for my brother and his wife. I’m comfortable with any size pet and am very active, so any pet energy-level works for me! I look forward to meeting you and your furry companions 😊 I am currently a full-time post-graduate student at the Cleveland Institute of Music. I have very flexible hours and I’m pretty available as of right now. I’m always happy to discuss how I can best accommodate your needs for pet care and pet sitting! I work best if clear instructions for pet care are provided before or upon arrival. I love all kinds of animals and I’m always gentle when meeting-and-greeting. If a pet has difficulty adjusting to new people, or general fears/anxieties, please let me know how I can best accommodate you and your pet’s needs.
About: I am retired, so I have plenty of time and availability to visit, house sit, play, and walk dogs around their neighborhoods or dog parks. I have no problem cleaning/refreshing litter boxes. I care for our two cats, and even though they're both semi-feral, they still need a lot of TLC and attention. Daily food prep, litter box maintenance, and play time. I take care to follow clients' wishes for their loved pets in their homes, including feeding, cleaning, playing, and ensuring the cats and/or dogs are loved and cared for.
“Emily is reliable, responsible, and responsive to my dog! She's an excellent communicator, always showed up on time, and was delightful to work with! I trust her to take care of my dog, Clem!”
“Susan was prompt and communicative and very friendly. We are very thankful for her helping to walk our pup, even with rainy conditions. I would not hesitate a second before booking a walk with her again.”
About: I have helped look after my own dog growing up and many a friends dog while they were away. Friends often commented how much their dog would sleep when they were back home, tired from all of the playing! I have my own business which affords me the opportunity to create my own schedule. Plenty of time to take your four legged friend on a playful walk! Before committing to any services I request a meet and greet to make sure you (the owner) feel comfortable in your decision as well as your pet! I do not own any other pets that could potentially clash personalities with yours. Before we leave for any walks I will make sure your dog is in good spirits and that your dog and home are safely prepared and secured.

Shaker Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Takia is a phenomenal sitter! She sent me photos with EVERY walk and always ensured my pets were left with full water and clean areas. She is a true dog lover and even has a puppy wall! Thank you Takia for be a part of Rover. You have been such a great experience!
Susan was incredible - she walked our dog Toby every day for a week while we were traveling. She sent pictures each day to keep us up to date and make us miss Toby less. Toby loved playing with her and walking with her. I’d have Susan take care of him any time we travel in future.
