“Convenient and well set-up yard for drop-off dog sitting. Great with communicating with me before and during service booked. Will use the next time I am in the area. Thank you. Sorry for the late review.”

“My husband and I were traveling across country with our fur baby, Bella and he wanted to visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. They do not allow dogs (unless they are service dogs) into the hall of Fame, so as a Rover sitter myself, I looked for a sitter here. I found Pam and she was great! She provided the care and attention that Bella needed. When we left the Hall of Fame to go pick Bella up, I texted Pam to let her know we were on our way. Pam was thoughtful enough to take Bella for a walk before we picked her up and continued for a four hour drive. I highly recommend her!”

“We are so lucky to have found Susan (and Jason)! Nugget had another great day and I’m always so confident he is safe and well cared for while I’m at work. We are grateful to be repeat customers!”

“Kyle was amazing with our 10 month old Bernese! He is extremely patient and understanding, especially when it comes to a high energy puppy! He sends multiple updates throughout the day to make sure you know your pup is being well taken care of :) We will definitely continue to use Kyle for daycare and other puppy needs, he treats Bogey so well and is very in tune with what he may need throughout the day ◡̈”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for years, including overnight stays and quick drop-ins for potty breaks. I have experience with different routines and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m also a pet owner myself—I have three cats and a mini goldendoodle who loves to play! I got into dog sitting because we had taken our dog to be boarded before and were very unhappy with the lack of care and love she received when she was boarded. I wanted to make sure other families didn’t have that experience as well. We have a fully fenced-in backyard, so there’s plenty of safe space for dogs to run, play, and get their energy out. My daily routine is already built around structure, consistency, and caregiving, so pet care fits in seamlessly. I’m used to following schedules, whether that’s for feeding times, potty breaks, walks, or playtime. I make time for walks, outdoor play in my fenced-in yard, and plenty of attention and care. Throughout the day, I’m organized and responsive, making it easy to prioritize pets’ needs and stick to their normal routines. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and it naturally fits into my day just like caring for my own pets. I care for pets in my home by creating a safe, comfortable, and structured environment where they can feel at ease. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions. Pets have access to my fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play and exercise, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day. I also keep a clean and pet-friendly space, ensuring water is always fresh and that pets are monitored closely during interactions. With my experience caring for animals and my own pets at home, I understand how important it is for them to feel secure, loved, and part of the family while you’re away.
“Abby was amazing with our coonhound and beagle puppy! Exercise is a big thing for him, and she made sure he was well exercised and played with! He had an awesome time!”

About: I have been a pet owner for about four years now and truly have a passion for taking care of dogs and giving them freedom to have fun and be themselves. I work at night time so usually when I get up in the day, I have the most energy and that’s when I’m totally available for the time and attention for the love of dogs. I have a closed in gated fence, which allows the pets to have access to roam around handedly at Will I have a true passion for taking care of dogs.
“Clifford did an amazing job watching my dog, Zebo, today! From the moment I picked him up, I could tell he had a great time. He came back happy, energetic, and acting like he had puppy fever again — and he’s 11! 😂 That alone tells me he was well cared for and genuinely enjoyed his time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Zebo was in good hands. I truly appreciate the care and attention Clifford gave him and would absolutely trust him again for doggy day care. Highly recommend!”

“Nicole was amazing with Lola! Before Lola’s stay I warned Nicole that she probably won’t eat and doesn’t like to be handled a lot. By the end of the day, Lola trusted her enough to wipe her down and even ate ALL of her food. I was pleasently surprised that Lola trusted her enough after a few hours. Also, Nicole’s 3 dogs are so well behaved and Lola joined the pack in minutes. We now trust Nicole so much so that we feel confident about leaving Lola with her while we go on vacation for 2 weeks!”

About: Growing up we always had a family dog. We had Schnauzers (twice), a Cocker Spanial, a Wire Fox Terrier and a Springer Spaniel. My favorite was probably the Springer, as she loved to play fetch for hours. While I don't have professional (getting paid) experience, I do occasionally dog sit for a neighbor, in fact doing so for a week this coming March (2020). Looking forward to getting one of my one some day. Newly retired, I didn't want to have a dog while working full time and didn't want to leave the dog alone all day. Looking forward to meeting some pups before getting a dog of my own. I have plenty of free time now so I am very flexible. I currently have 2 cats and am availabe for cat sitting also. I'm retired so I have plenty of free time for taking care of your pets. I'm available for frequent walks and quality time with your pet. I have fenced in back yard. I have Springer Spaniel that I usually walk 3 times a day. I also have an older cat that avoids the Springer!
“Our pups had a great time! Carla accepted our booking the day of after we had another one cancel. She kept us up to date with photos & videos. Would definitely book with her again if we return to Cleveland”

About: **Serious Inquiries Only *** With over 10 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I have developed a deep understanding and passion for working with small dog breeds and puppies. Throughout my career, I’ve been dedicated to providing top-tier care for both puppies and adult small breeds, helping them thrive in loving, healthy environments. I have worked extensively with a variety of small dog breeds, including Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Yorkies, Shih Tzus, and Dachshunds. My experience spans everything from basic pet care and feeding to behavior management, training, and health monitoring. I specialize in the unique needs of small dogs, including their dietary requirements, exercise routines, and socialization skills. My approach is centered around building trust and positive relationships with the pets in my care. With puppies, I focus on early socialization, potty training, and establishing consistent routines to set them up for a well-adjusted adulthood. With adult small dogs, I work on maintaining good health, managing behavioral issues, and fostering strong bonds between pet and owner. I’m particularly passionate about understanding the individual personalities of each dog, ensuring they receive personalized care that meets their specific needs. My extensive background in pet care has allowed me to not only enhance the lives of the dogs I care for but also provide valuable advice and support to their owners, helping them navigate the joys and challenges of dog ownership. I am dedicated to provide my full attention to your pup throughout their entire stay! If it’s boarding or just a fun day at doggy day camp I can ensure your pup will have a great time! I have a fenced in back yard , plenty of toys and activities to keep your pup busy! My home has central air conditioning for hot summer days . I also have a small male shitzu to keep your pup company during their stay .
“I can’t say enough good things about Mariia! She took great care of my dog, Hazel. It’s clear that she genuinely loves dogs and takes the time to understand each one’s personality. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Hazel was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I got back. Highly recommend!”

“Very enthusiastic about meeting our dog. Showed us the backyard and inside of the house. Sent several pictures and a few pictures. Yoshi was very happy looking and definitely enjoyed his stay. Will use again!”

“Austin was flexible with drop-off and pick up times, and sent us updates throughout the day. We appreciate that because Rory can be shy with other dogs at first, so it was nice to have the confirmation that she was settling in and having a good time. Will be using Austin again!”

Shaker Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Al was great! He was prompt with communication and flexible around drop-off and pick-up. I love the many video updates, they give me a sense of what my dog did all day. My dog Cassie clearly loves Al and seems very happy to arrive, and is utterly exhausted when I pick her up. Exactly what I need!

Brittany was a life saver for our Ruby while we were traveling in Cleveland and she didn’t want to be left alone. Timely communication, open to last minute booking and flexible timing where needed. Ruby was exhausted and happy after her day with Brittany. Thank you!!

Seymour lives his best life while staying with Tongyezhi and her family. It's tough to give Seymour the attention he deserves at home with two toddlers running around so it is a major relief to be able to have him do daycare where he can have the extra fun he is missing at home.
