About: I grew up on a farm where I cared for a range of animals from chickens to cats. From there, I have always had a pet to share my heart with. I have had guinea pigs, cats, dogs in my own home and have yet to meet an animal I don't get along with. I am looking for flexible work so that I can finish writing my novel without letting the burden of finances fall completely on my husband. I figure walking and caring/sitting for animals to help keep my family fed is a great match for me, my personality, and my love for animals. I used to work 13 hour days, an hour from home, so I understand the importance of a pet nanny and would be honored to help you with that need! My two fur babies, Lily (9 year old Ragamuffin kitty) and Ellie (5 year old German Shepherd) have different personalities and co-habitate beautifully, but I would not want to introduce other animals into my home. Both of my girls are rescues from different shelters (Angels for Animals and One of a Kind Pet Rescue) and they both lived stressful lives before me so my job is to give them sanctuary and love. That said, in regard to care, Lily is pretty self regulated. Every other day, her food bowl is re-filled (no, you can't see the bottom of the bowl but she's my sweet princess who gets what she wants) and her kitty litter is scooped every other day and changed as needed. Ellie is a rescued Puppy Mill momma who grew up in a very confusing way and is forever married to routine. To keep her happy and healthy, we let her out same time each day (7am) where she eats 1.5 cups of food, potty break at 12pm and again at 5pm (1.5 cups). Ellie's gets let out 3 times a day, per her wants because I try to let her out more and if she doesn't have to go potty, she turns around and lays on her Tempur-Pedic bed. Otherwise, when the weather is appropriate Ellie and I take a minimum of a 15 minute walk in the park behind my house. I hope this description helps you trust that your fur babies will consider me "Auntie Marah" soon enough, and that they are in safe and caring hands with me. I am happy to answer any questions!
“Keerie took such great care of our Willow. The constant updates and photos were super nice and put my mind at ease knowing our girl was in such great hands!”
About: I am a very friendly person and I’d like to think animals pick up on that energy. I am usually one to be friends with the animals around me anywhere I go within the first 5 minutes of meeting. Hopefully I’ll get the chance to become pals with your babies too! I’m currently working a part time job this summer and looking for additional work until I start my career this coming fall as a School Counselor! I’d be happy to check in on your pets throughout the week whenever I can fit it in! I am a firm believer that you know your animal best! I just ask for open communication and for directions on how to take the best possible care of your fur baby!
“Katarina was amazing! She really cares about the pets she is watching. She was fantastic watching our kitten and senior kitty for an entire week. I loved receiving the photos after each check in and it looked like the kitties were having a blast. She made sure each cat was comfortable and received the care they needed. Thank you for being such a wonderful cat sitter!! It helped ease our nerves while being away for so long!”
About: My family has always had animals, and I've always loved taking care of them. Dogs, cats, birds, the whole nine yards. I've been around pure-breds, mutts, strays, elderly animals, young animals, a whole range, and I've always been very close with all of them. The most direct experience I've ever had was helping raise and train my mother's dog Ivan, a big American Bulldog with German Shepherd and Siberian Husky heritage, from near-birth to nine years old. Beyond that, I've helped care for my grandmother's many dogs, including Jasper, who is pictured in my profile picture. I'm currently on summer break between my Junior and Senior year of college, so I have plenty of time to care for animals at most points during the week. I generally like to keep Sundays and Mondays open, but I'm otherwise totally free to work. I'm a fairly relaxed pet owner myself, but I know when animals need to be taken seriously. As someone who helped raise a moderately antisocial 100 lbs. dog once, I know it's not all sunshine and rainbows. That being said, I'm more than loving and compassionate, and will do everything in my power to make sure your animals feel loved and cared for when I'm with them.

They become part of the family I have 2 dog’s Amari 2 yrs, Raina 11 weeks. We have great play times...adventures to parks.. and happy K9s. I only care for 1 dog at a time so they get plenty of attention! I can’t wait to hear from you😎 I am a certified dog trainer that gives your dog a slumber party experience. I walk your dog daily, and they live in my house like one of my own. No Kennels, no dog runs. My yard is fenced in.Every dog is unique so I treat them as such, paying attention to what may stress them or cause anxiety. I I observe find out from you what behaviors they know and how you communicate with them. Do they like treats, are they couch potatoes, bed buddies. I also offer board and train options if that is something you need. I provide the best of care, love, and dependable services. I will care for your pet the way you would like me to, keeping your dog in the same routine in anyones care is best, and it can help to avoid unnecessary stress and anxiety. I like to meet and talk to you prior to sitting so both your dog and you are comfortable. I work with my adult daughter. We both are insured and have yearly background checks because we volunteer for girlscouts.
About: I have taken care of the pets for family and friends for years, with many over night stays with them. Animals tend to be drawn to me and I can never get enough of the unconditional love that they provide! I am great with requests for the special care of your special furry family members! I work at a school, so we are currently in summer and I am off of work at 2 ever day of the week, but also available at night for any possible over night needs! I will not be taking animals to my home, as I have a roommate who has cats and they do not do well with other animals.
About: I’m a pet owner myself with a dog and two cats, so I’m used to managing different personalities, routines, and energy levels every day. I understand how important consistency is, and I try to keep things as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible. I don’t overbook, so your pet will get real attention and a calm environment—not a chaotic, revolving-door situation. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats, including multi-pet households, and I pay attention to the small things like behavior changes, feeding habits, and overall comfort. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or sitting, my goal is simple: make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well taken care of while you’re away. I work a full time job, so I am available after 4:30pm Monday through Friday and have open availability Saturday and Sunday to help care for your pets! I provide a safe, calm, and structured environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can keep things as consistent and stress-free as possible. Safety is always my top priority. I closely monitor pets during walks, playtime, and feeding, and I’m mindful of surroundings to prevent any risks. I follow all care instructions carefully, including medications, dietary restrictions, and activity levels. In my home, pets are treated like family. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space and ensure all areas are secure. I also make sure introductions with other animals (if applicable) are done slowly and safely. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel confident and at ease, knowing your pet is in responsible and caring hands.

“I was very nervous to use the Rover app for the first time but a had a wonderful experience with this. My dog has diabetes and needs a pee break every three hours. An unexpected situation came up and I decided to try this service. He was wonderful and even sent me pictures to insure me that Noah was fine on his visit. Will definitely use again!”

Rory is staying with my Mom and Dad currently- so our home is pet free! I have dogs of all sizes and all different breeds. I have never had problems with any dogs nor had any issues. I feel that I stand out because I have a natural love for dogs and will love your animal like they are my own. I have taken care of dogs of all ages and am comfortable with all of them. I love to be outside, whether it be playing, walking, going on runs, etc. I hope you choose me the next time you are looking for someone to take extra good care of your animals!
About: Hi! I’m Natalie—an experienced and compassionate pet sitter and dog walker. I’ve grown up around animals of all kinds and have over five years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve provided pet care for neighbors, friends, family, and Rover clients, with three years of experience specifically through Rover. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets and those with special needs, including dogs with back leg paralysis, and I always prioritize following owner instructions while paying close attention to each pet’s comfort cues. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, respect, and plenty of love. I began pet sitting in college as a side gig and quickly discovered how much I loved it. Since graduating, I’ve been working full-time, but caring for animals remains a true passion of mine, and I would be honored to care for your furry family member. Let me know how I can help—I can’t wait to meet your furbaby! I do work full-time, but if you’re located in or around Akron, I’m able to provide mid-day potty breaks and can work from home one day a week, allowing for extra time and flexibility with your pet. I will always ask for and follow the instructions left by the owner. I will act professional and courteous while picking up dogs for walks or pet sitting within the residence. Most importantly, I am adaptable to any animals needs.
About: I love animals and specially dogs, I’m really patient with all their special needs and great at keeping dogs entertained and happy while they wait for their owner.

“Anna was great with my pup! She had never been cared for by anyone and was very afraid. Anna was very patient with her and made her feel comfortable. Would definitely book her again!!”
About: I’ve always lived around animals while growing up, ever since I was a baby. I’ve always loved playing with animals and taking care of them I volunteer at one of a kind pets. I’ve always taken care of my animals since I was little. I would always take my pets on walks, feed them, play with them, take them to parks, etc. Another thing while growing up I used to always go to the library and read to dogs there, it was an event. Every once and a while I go to the animal shelter and spend time with cats and dogs giving them company. I am in college right now we can talk about when I have classes and when would be best times for me to do drop ins, walks, whatever you need! I feed my dog 3 times a day I understand that varies from the dog and let I him out time to time, we have a electric fence so it’s easier to let him out when he wants, but I have no problem taking dogs out on leashes. Also if your dog is would like company, I could bring mine!
“I really appreciated Matt's care during our trip! We have two nervous cats, and while one was still elusive he was able pet the other one after a few days! It shows he was gentle enough to build trust. He also did a great job communicating what was happening throughout the week.”

I treat every dog like my own, ensuring a safe, fun, and stress-free environment while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I have a consistent schedule that allows me to plan my day around the needs of the pets I’m caring for, whether that’s morning walks, feeding times, play sessions, or evening check-ins.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Silver Lake
Katelynn is super nice! She was great with Bella, and Bella loves her too. You can tell she really loves pets. She’s super organized and prompt and knows this application well because she was able to help me reschedule a couple of times. I will definitely be using Katelynn in the future!
So glad I came across Lindsay, I had to head out of town last minute and she came in clutch. We weren’t able to do a meet and greet beforehand but we were able to figure something out and everything turned out fine. Will definitely keep her mind for the future!
Riley is such a big help to me. I had never used this App before and was a bit nervous. She made it easy and accommodated a meet and greet. Riley has been up for every challenge. As one of my dogs was recovering from surgery and the other is a very energetic German shepherd puppy. She is always willing to help in anyway that she can with both of their needs. I am so happy to have found this App and Riley. I would and do definitely recommend her.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Silver Lake stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Silver Lake choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Silver Lake with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
