“Glenn is the best! He loves our dogs and sends the perfect amount of updates! I believe this is the third time we’ve had Glenn stay with the dogs, and we will continue to contact him whenever we need help with the pups!”

“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!!”

“Chris was so great with our dog, Melon! He watched him for a weekend and was so tuned in to Melon’s needs, communicated so well and sent tons of pictures. We felt so at ease knowing our fur baby was being so well taken care of and hope to have Chris back to take care of Melon again in the future!”

“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.”

“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!”

“JJ was super communicative with me and very respectful of my kitties' preferences. They often don't want to be friends with new people, but they were cuddling up in just a few days! Fantastic kitty sitter!”

“Omega was a great dog and house sitter! She communicated with us often and shared photos of our dog and how he was doing. She was very tolerant of our energetic and temperamental puppy and we're so grateful for her to have watched him.”

“Devaneyis awesome! From the moment she walked in the door I was completely comfortable with her watching my dog Micki! She picked her up from my daughters and stayed later than expected when my flight was delayed. She was responsive, sent pictures and truly cared about how Micki was doing! I would highly recommend !”

“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.”

“Angela did a wonderful job house sitting and taking care of Forest. She kept Forest on his routine with walks and she provided plenty of updates. Forest really bonded with her! I will definitely be rebooking Angela in the future!”

“Courtney arrived 15-min early before we needed to leave. She did an outstanding job with our puppies while we were away. No accidents in the house! She occasionally sent us photos of the puppies while we were away. Courtney is a person of good character and work ethic you can trust.”

“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!”

About: I live on a dog street and was able to walk dogs and housesit a few dogs and cats of my neighbors, I am trusted with other animals. I’m currently enrolled to a Community College. I go to school for two days, I’m not working as much because of school. I have lots of free time. iMy yard is not fenced but I will make sure your pet(s) with get the exercise and attention as needed. I am also willing to provide food given by the caretaker
About: Animals have been a part of my life since I was nine years old — and what started as a passion turned into a career. I currently work at an animal hospital as an Animal Care Team Lead, where I’m trusted daily with the safety, health, and well-being of pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From high-energy working breeds to senior dogs who need extra patience, to anxious pups who require calm leadership — I’ve handled it all. My background in both animal daycare and veterinary settings means I’m confident managing group play and behavioral quirks. Your pet won’t just get supervision — they’ll get structured care, enrichment, exercise, and genuine affection. I understand that leaving your pet with someone is a big deal, and I take that trust seriously. Clear communication, updates, and a safe environment are my top priorities. Whether your dog needs playtime, structure, or just a steady, experienced presence — I’m here to provide professional care with a personal touch. I work full-time at an animal hospital, which means I’m around animals every day and very comfortable managing different care routines. My consistent days off are Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, which allows me extended availability for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care. However, I am still available to perform any service every day of the week as long as it's to your furry friends needs. That said, I’m still highly flexible outside of those days. I’m available before and after work for visits, and I do my best to accommodate scheduling needs whenever possible. If you’re unsure about a date or time, feel free to reach out — I’m happy to work with you! Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. Working full-time at an animal hospital has trained me to pay close attention to behavior, body language, and early signs of stress or illness. I take proactive steps to ensure every pet in my care feels secure, comfortable, and respected. I follow each pet’s routine closely — feeding schedules, medication instructions (No injections), exercise needs, and any household rules you have in place. I understand how important consistency is, especially for cats and dogs who thrive on structure. Trust means everything to me. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. When your pet is with me, they’re treated like family — with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care.
About: I’ve been living with and taking care of dogs my whole life and have around a year of house sitting experience including both puppies and seniors. I’m currently a student finishing up my degree online, so I have all day to stay at home with your pups giving them the attention and care they need. I care your pets as if they’re my own. I recognize how important your fur-baby is to you. I currently live with, and help take care of three dogs at home, feeding and walking them regularly, as well as giving them the attention they need.
“Chloe stayed in our home and took excellent care of our dog over the Holidays this year. She was communicate and sent a lot of photos to keep us updated. We are very lucky to have found Chloe so we could enjoy our vacation.”

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.

Madison was great, would love to have her house- and cat-sit again! Phoebe was really happy with her, they made friends after Phoebe’s usual 24 hours of being shy, and the house was immaculate when I returned. I even had a small ice dam issue when I left that Madison kept and eye on and reported its status as is melted.

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.

Glenn was responsive and the animals were very well taken care of. He encountered an unexpected medical complication toward the end of our time away and ensured that our critters were seen to, even as he met his own urgent needs, for which we were very grateful!
