“Glenn was fantastic! He housesat for us and provided excellent care for our dog. Additionally, he provided updates on a daily basis and, upon return, our home was as neat as the day we left. Without a doubt we would request Glenn again.”


“I felt at ease having Cece taking care of my dog for a few days while we were away. I got daily photos and updates and I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable with her. It was a wonderful, worry-free experience and I would love to have Cece back in the future.”

“Avery took great care of our golden retriever Emmy over the weekend. They were very responsive to all of our requests and made sure Emmy got lots of walks and attention. It was a great experience for Emmy and for us.”

“Mont’e was absolutely amazing! He provided excellent care for my cat and dog while house sitting. I was pretty nervous to leave town and Mont’e was super kind and professional. He updated me regularly, took my dog on walks, and even took her to his family’s Christmas Eve celebration (after asking of course) because I was worried about her having separation anxiety! Mont’e treated my pets as if they were his own and when I came back they were both super calm and relaxed because of the great care provided. Mont’e was also super respectful of my home and left it very neat and tidy! Highly recommend Mont’e for all pet sitting needs, I’ll definitely be asking him to come back!”

“Chris and Mandy did a great job pet-sitting our dogs. One of our dogs has a touch of vertigo, the other takes daily meds, and both can be dog-reactive. They handled everything easily, like the experienced dog owners they are.”

“Joseph did a great job with taking care of Bosco and the house. He was very responsive when I reached out to see how things were going; and he notified me when he thought I might have a concern about Bosco. He took great care of the condo and left it very neat. Great job!”

“We booked with Octavia again and she was so helpful with caring for our 2 dogs. She also made sure that one of dogs got a medication that he had just started. Octavia is very reliable and a great communicator!”

“Michael is instinctively in tune with our senior dog’s needs and is always gentle and compassionate with her. Our home always looks perfect after he comes. Thank you.”
“This is our second time working with Christina, and she is so good with our kitties. I am especially grateful that she was able to help when our flights were delayed coming home to make sure our girls were fed and safe. Thanks again!!”

“Ebony was so kind and helpful throughout my dog baby's visit. She sent me tons of photos and updates while she had my baby. Baby(my dog) was well taken care of threwout her stay with Ebony. I'm so grateful for her, as she took my booking last minute since I had an unexpected family emergency come up. I will definitely use Ebony again in the future seeing as how amazingly she took care of what I consider a family member to me.”

About: Hi!!! I love dogs and love watching them! Love their personalities and am good with showing them love ! I can’t wait to meet your baby/babies! I have a pretty open schedule! During the day I am always home. Some nights I work but when at work my man is home. I have a mini dachshund whose name is Oreo 😊who is super friendly and playful! I live in an apartment and put my window I have a little area where the dogs can run free that is fenced in! I can also take the dogs on walks or just let them play inside whatever you’re comfortable with! However they live with you they will live with me 🥰
About: I’m a social worker, a mom to 2 pit bulls, 1 senior cat, and 1 human toddler. I grew up on a farm and I am a lifelong animal lover. Between the various needs of my creatures at home, and my experience over the last 20 years, I’m well equipped to take care of your babies. I have somewhat flexible availability during the week, and even more so on the weekends. I work from home some days of the week and can pop out as needed. I am attentive to your instructions for care and walk in with eyes wide open. If something seems off, I’ll let you know right away. I’m also happy to send cute pics to reassure you that your babies are doing great :)
“I am so happy to have found Devaney! She took amazing care of my girls and was very flexible with their quirks. She sends lots of updates and photos. I look forward to knowing I have someone I can trust the girls with in the future if ever needed.”


About: I have 5+ years of experience walking and taking care of dogs, and I’ve loved every second of it. Exercising with a furry friend is always on my agenda! I am currently a full-time student at DePaul University in Lincoln park! I only have a class or two daily, leaving me open weekdays from 8-11 and 5-10! Weekends my availability depends, but I am flexible! I love to exercise and find ways to get my walks in daily, the buddy would just be an added plus! I currently live in a dorm, so any services would need to be provided outside of my residence. Im willing to stay overnights most days, depending on distance to Lincoln park / the loop.

About: I lead a very active lifestyle, more than happy to provide exercise for the dogs, i have a very flexible schedule, and i love playing with the pups! I am home from school for the summer, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I am capable of arranging my schedule around the pet’s needs. I can provide attentive care to the dogs needs. I am receptive to specific care instructions and regular visits if need be. I am committed to the safety of the dog, and I am a trustworthy care taker.
“Alexis was amazing and the best pet sitter I’ve ever had! She went above and beyond to make sure my kitties were well taken care of, and they loved her! Can’t recommend Alexis enough!”
About: I have cared for dogs since I was 8, and I have owned a dog since I was 5. I have successfully potty-trained a puppy. I enjoy being outside and walking, so I'd love to help out in any way, whether by helping them get their energy out or by hanging out with them. I work part-time and have free time between 10 am and 2 pm to take care of your fur babies. I usually use that time to hit the gym or study in the library, but I'm flexible. I can come to your fur baby and transport them to the park or wherever is needed. I can dog-sit for a few hours or a weekend and take them for walks.
About: With experience in both cat and dog sitting, I’ve cared for pets of family, friends, and neighbors, providing attentive and reliable care. My experience includes overnight stays and routine check-ins, ensuring pets receive the attention and comfort they need while their owners are away. My passion for animals shines through in my dedicated and compassionate approach to pet sitting. Being a college student, I fit pet care into my routine with evening care and playtime, ensuring pets get the attention and care they need. I do not currently have pets in my current home. I care for pets in other ways, such as drop-ins and pet walking. Thank you!
Shaker Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Angie was awesome. She was very attentive to our kitty that needed daily medication, and gave our three pets, a lot of love and care. We were gone for 10 days and we’ve never left them before for that long. We were so, so happy with the attention to our little loved ones and would definitely hire Angie again. Highly recommend. Angie is very popular, so make sure to make plans in advance.
Michael is phenomenal. He is knowledgeable and instinctively aware of what our very senior dog needs. He makes excellent decisions and allows us to feel completely 100% comfortable with our home and dog in his care. Excellent communicator. Reliable. Punctual. A1 rating all around.

Tea is a frequent house sitter for our highly anxious dog. Tea provides outstanding care and maintains consistent communication while we are out of town (and provides pics of our dog). Most importantly, our dog loves and trusts Tea, which is all any pet parent can ask for.
