“Really appreciate Pat helping us on short notice! She was fantastic with our rather timid and shy cat. Pat allowed our Bella to set the pace for interaction. Very attentive and took such good care with her. She even brought in an unexpected package. Very warm and caring lady. Will definitely use her services again.”

“Tabbi was awesome with the pet kids! She had a challenge and she conquered it! The dogs were so happy when she stopped in 3 times each day to walk water and feed them. She sent us pictures and a report card for every visit. We will definitely give Tabbi a call the next time we need a sitter for Sadie and Ranger!”

“What a beautiful wonderful pet setter my 8 month old German Shepherd Gracie absolutely loved her. And so do I!!!! she not only showed much love and attention. She also did some training with her She is so knowledged about dogs! Can't wait to have her again!!”

“To simply describe Sydney as AMAZING is not enough. Not only is she excellent at communicating (even when I might take a bit of time to respond), her love and care for my cats are phenomenal. My shy cat took to her so quickly that I’m sure if given the choice, he would not mind going home with her 😆. The picture and video updates I got put me at extreme ease while I was traveling, knowing that my cats and my place were in great hands. I would not even hesitate a single second about recommending her for pet sitting. 1000% would be asking her to care for my boys again in the future.”

I've provided transportation to veterinarian visits, I walk dog. I have experience in giving medicine (pill and shots) and dealing with special needs pets.

“Ava did a great job watching my dog while I was gone away on a track meet! This was my first time having someone watch him and I was nervous because I didn’t know how he would act being that he’s a shelter dog with bad separation anxiety. 10/10!”

“Frank is very kind and my doggie Dutchess took right to him. I appreciate all the Love you gave my girl while I was gone and all the pics you supplied me. Would definitely have Frank watch my dog again 10/10”

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!!!
