About: Hi all! I am new to the Cleveland area and looking for new furry friends🐶🐈 I have been consistently providing Rover services for over a year and have gained plenty of experience with all types of animals. I raised 9 year old German Shepard, Stitch, since he was a puppy, as well as adopted my kitty, Elsie. I trained my dog as a service dog and have excellent doggy training skills. When friends, family, and relatives are away, I always jump at the opportunity to care for their pets. I pride myself on my consistency and effort when it comes to giving you updates on your pet (including super cute pictures). Rest assured while you’re away that your pet is in the best hands🤗 As I am working towards my master’s degree online, I have full availability. Once I know yours and your pets needs, we can come up with a schedule that works for us all! Keeping dogs active is key to ensure they live a happy and healthy life! I take my dog for a walk several times every day and allow him to have plenty of free time to run (and sunbathe)! My dog comes everywhere possible with me, we hate being apart. We are very fortunate to now live close to edgewater beach! He loves to swim and we have been enjoying checking out all the dog-friendly establishments in the area!


“Katherine ALWAYS does a phenomenal job! I use her as a walker when needed but I have also left my puppy with her for a few days while traveling. She is trustworthy, diligent, & a joy to work with. You can’t go wrong hiring her for all of your dog needs 👍🏻”

“Friendly, professional, and reliable. Chloe, you are a natural, and there are few people I could imagine so quickly trusting with the extra care and attention that Lola needs. Thank you!”


About: What sets me apart is the depth of experience I bring from a lifetime of living with and caring for animals. I’ve had five dogs of my own over the years, ranging from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs, and I’ve cared for countless neighbors’ pets, both dogs and cats. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attention to detail are, whether it’s helping a puppy learn routines or making sure a senior pet is comfortable and well cared for. I treat every pet like family and aim to make their time away from you as stress free as possible. Pet care fits easily into my routine, I have open weekends and a flexible schedule, which means I can give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I don’t have kids or other major time commitments, so I’m able to focus fully on providing reliable, consistent care. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, walks, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to adjust to what your pet needs. In your home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I won't stray away from feeding instructions, walk schedules, medication etc... I keep the space clean, give plenty of attention, and send regular updates so you always know how things are going. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy and stress free while you’re away, and to leave your home just as you left it!

“Im super anxious when it comes to leaving my pups and Kaitlin communicated so nicely i didnt feel bad at all. Will definitely book again with her whenever the time arises!!”


About: I’ve had dogs since I was little and have always loved all dogs like they were my own. I currently have a 6 year old border collie mix. His name is Boozle. I’m currently working Monday-Friday (7am-3pm) in the Akron area. With an occasional remote day on Fridays in Cleveland. My weekend availability varies but I am more than willing to help out if available. I have worked with crated dogs and non crated dogs. Im comfortable any breeds and I’m ok working with more confrontational dogs. I can feed/walk or just chill and hang out with any dogs depending on what you need!

About: I have been taking care of animals, house sitting and walking, since I was about 9 years old. I have had pets my whole life raised my current dog from 6 weeks up. I have had breeds from my childhood chihuahua to my current hybrid so I feel comfortable with all size dogs. I have also had professional experience following detailed care plans while working at Cleveland metroparks growing up as a junior assistant zookeeper. I currently make my own work schedule and can fit your furry friends’ needs into my day easily! As far as how much time I can give, I have a partner at home who can help me with my dog if needed so I have open availability for you! I have a townhouse style home with a dog park and a friendly dog to help keep your furry friend company! I have a crate in a separate room if needed as well.

“We consider ourselves lucky to have connected with Amanda. After our meet and great I was even more confident we picked the right person to help with our cattle dog’s walks. We hope our Whiskey was on her best behavior! Amanda was prompt and sent pics. Definitely will use Amanda again for Whiskey’s walks!”


“Torrey is amazing. She stepped up on short notice and took care of our Athena. She is so flexible and accommodating. She has been a great addition to our dog family.”


About: I’ve had pets ever since I was little, and I have always formed strong bonds with the animals I meet! I haven’t had a dog for the past year, so I am trying to find new furry friends to play with, and give my love to! Currently I am taking online classes through Butler University! My schedule is very open and I would love to pack it taking care of some furry friends! As long as you leave clear instructions about what my responsibilities are, I am happy to meet any requests you have! And you won’t even notice I was in your home:)

“I hired Joe to walk both of my dogs after breaking my arm. He exceeded my expectations. He is very calm and my two dogs responded to him immediately. The dogs and I were happy to see him come each day. Joe always arrived promptly and was able to adjust his schedule as needed. That was extremely professional and communicated very well with me. A After he met my dogs,I had no qualms about letting him take them. I would certainly recommend Joe for dog sitting, dog walking and more. I for sure will be having Joe back again to help me. And my dogs will be very happy!”


About: I’m a lifelong animal lover by nature and child psychologist by training. I know well that pets are family — and they deserve care that is reliable, safe, and full of love! I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I’m an especially good fit for high energy dogs who like extra long walks, runs, and hikes. I’ve loved my own dogs through aging, medical needs, and separation anxiety. I’m comfortable working with these needs. I’m also a first-time cat owner ready to make more feline friends (on their terms, of course). Excited for the chance to care for your furbabies just like my own! I’m on a break from my full time work, so I have lots of time to provide care! I’m a morning person and like to be as active as possible. I’ll honor your and your furbaby’s space, keeping things tidy and comfortable. I’m happy to take your pets to parks to really enjoy the outdoors, if you’d like!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always taken great care of them! Since high school, I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and spent time walking dogs for local organizations. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own (I’m saving for one!), this gives me plenty of free time to help care for others’ furry family members—especially since I work remotely. I have 3 lil kitties who I love- I can definitely work with any animal ranging from reptiles to horses :) volunteering at sanctuary’s and zoos helped me gain that experience. I work full time, but remotely. I have the ability to schedule many breaks within my schedule for play time and potty breaks. I can provide as much attention needed for your little pups and/or kitties. I do not at this time provide boarding, but I live in a two story duplex! My cats have their own area and I have the ability to keep them separate from other animals if needed. If I am sitting in your home, i’ll make sure to provide enrichment and maintain a safe and comfortable environment.

“Madison has absolutely been amazing taking care of our girl. Our pup wasn’t feeling great and she made sure to send lots of pictures and updates on how she did while she was there. It made us feel so much better that we knew she was in loving, caring hands!”


About: I desperately need the money for my son. Summer school is extremely expensive! I love animals, I’ve had animals in my home all my life; dogs, cats, snakes, reptiles, fish, you name it. I’ve always considered them to be family and have loved every moment with each of them, some long lives and others were shared to another family. I have always felt close to the world so I connect very well with all animals. I’ve had plenty of experience with other people’s dogs and cats as well. I’ve taken dogs I’ve just met on private walks and trained them. I also enjoy dog grooming, the first thing i do when I welcome a new animal is wash them—I enjoy connecting with them in that way and also having them nice and clean in my environment. I just love, I will keep your babies safe in a loving environment. I have a one floor home and when I’m pet sitting they are allowed to roam in the living room and dining area when I am preoccupied with something important. When I walk around the house I allow them to walk freely around with me. They are all allowed on the furniture and they get weekly baths/trim/brush, unless there is mud—then I clean their feet when they come in. Bathroom breaks are every 2-3 hours in the fenced backyard and I walk them everyday at least twice. If there are more than 2 dogs I walk 2 at a time. I do sit lessons and stay lessons throughout the day with treats for encouragement! Besides that—whatever you want I will be, just let me know because I enjoy every moment with animals. Im a stay at home mom and psych student so I am up from 7am-10pm. I enjoy doing outside activities and I miss having a buddy with me. I have a fenced backyard and I enjoy just having a buddy with me walking by my side in my home. Everything is on one floor so there’s no where to go and get into anything without me knowing.

About: I’ve cared for many family and friends pets as well as done rover and cared for various types of animals such as dogs,cats,bunnies,fish, and birds! I absolutely love caring for animals and am cpr certified and adore loving on your awesome pets! Please note that I do not accept non potty trained companions. Thank you! I’m fully available and more often than not have a “be my own boss” schedule so I’m very very flexible on scheduling! I’m totally open to working with timing with a heads up if possible:) I have a fully fenced in yard and absolutely love being attentive and catering to your furry friends needs. I make sure to stick to their schedules all while having a blast and lots of tug of war haha!

About: I’ve been passionate about animals for years—starting in college when I raised a service dog-in-training through the 4 Paws for Ability program. I also volunteered as a dog walker at the Cleveland Animal Protective League, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I bring patience, reliability, and genuine care to every pet I work with. Currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule. Since my schedule is very flexible, I can accommodate last-minute requests and provide consistent, reliable care when you need it most. I have a SUPER friendly 30lbs aussiedoodle to keep your pups company. We talk lots of walks and love to go to the park and dog pool!
