About: I have owned and cared for both dogs and cats throughout my life for extended periods of time. I provide them plenty of loving attention and do all the related chores necessary when caring for them. I am a stay-at-home parent of three cats. However, I am able to leave whenever needed to provide care to other animals, as the other owner of our cats will often be home to continue their care. I care for pets by making sure they eat their tasty meals and treats, keeping them company with playtime and plenty of pets, cleaning up after them on a daily basis, providing them exercise, and anything necessary.
About: I have owned cats my entire life, and I have been raising my own for the past 7 years. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I am a student and working part-time this summer, so I will have a lot of availability and can be available on short notice if needed. I have a calm energy and can read your pets body language very well. Perfect for if your furry friend is more on the anxious side! I will bring patience and understanding to any type of personality.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and support. I’m attentive, gentle, and genuinely love building trust with every pet. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt, whether your dog needs high-energy play, slow walks, or just comforting company. I treat every pet like family and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and routine. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m very flexible and can adjust my schedule around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I’m able to be available when it works best for you and your pet. I enjoy making time for animals. It’s something I genuinely look forward to. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, relaxed environment with plenty of playtime in my fenced yard and companionship from my own friendly, playful dog. I stick to your pet’s routine as closely as possible, feeding, walking, and downtime so they feel comfortable and secure. In your home, I make sure to keep things clean, calm, and consistent. I always respect your space and care for your pet like they’re my own, giving them attention, exercise, and lots of love.
About: 🐶I’ve taken care of our Family Rottweiler, Mini Schanuzer and Elderly Shitzu mix. I’ve also had my Chihuahua since I was a teenager. With that being said, I am very experienced with dogs of any size from pup to senior 🐕🦺. I work from home which makes it easier to spend time with the pups as well as keep a close eye on them. This is extremely convenient if your fur baby has separation anxiety! I have a fenced in yard and two Fur babies to keep your Pup company during their stay! I’ve also got a large crate if needed.
South Akron pet parents share their Rover experiences
Brianne did an amazing job with my pets! I felt very good leaving them in her hands while I was on vacation. She sent great photos and updates while I was away and the kitties were clearly well taken care of while I was gone. She even did a good job with Sushi-- my more anxious cat.

Abby is kind, friendly and a great communicator. She watched our two cats over the holidays, and our cats loved her! Our finicky cat who normally hides from strangers for days was sitting in Abby’s lap within the first two days of our trip. She kept our place clean, and let us know if anything was wrong, or had any questions. We will absolutely book Abby again when we go out of town.

Missy was so wonderful with my puppy Corbin! I had zero concerns leaving him in her hands. She was very communicative, followed directions, was respectful of my home, and was detailed in her updates. The photos she included in her updates were the highlight of my day! I could tell she really enjoyed her time with him and he was having fun and felt safe with her. Thank you so much, Missy!!!
