“Did a Great Job, I would recommend Angele to anyone that needs a Dog walker to help them out. She provided me with plenty of pictures for each walk & even a video. Thanks Angele!!!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets are family, and I strive to provide the same level of care, attention, and patience that I would want for my own. My background in healthcare has taught me how to be responsible, detail-oriented, and attentive to the unique needs of every individual, skills that translate naturally to pet care. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need patience and consistency to senior dogs who may require a gentler pace and extra attention. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, administering oral medications, reinforcing basic training, or simply providing companionship, I prioritize your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness. I am currently a Master's student in Medical Physiology at Case Western Reserve University, which has helped me develop strong time-management, responsibility, and organizational skills. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals as a balance to my studies. Despite a busy academic schedule, I am very intentional about managing my time and maintaining commitments. Whether it's morning walks, midday drop-in visits, evening care, or weekend sitting, I enjoy incorporating pet care into my routine because it allows me to spend time outdoors and connect with animals while helping pet owners have peace of mind. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet with patience, attentiveness, and compassion. As someone pursuing a career in healthcare, I value reliability, clear communication, and attention to detail, and I bring those same qualities to caring for your furry family members. I am committed to ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any specific preferences or needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and mental stimulation while also keeping their environment clean and safe. If providing care in my own home, I would ensure pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, fresh water, and opportunities for play and rest. My goal is always to make pets feel as relaxed and loved as possible, whether they are in their own home or mine.

“Ellen did a great job! We received regular photo updates while we were away for 10 days and came home to a happy cat! We would recommend her to others looking for a pet caretaker.”

“Christine was fantastic. I originally signed up for 4 checks. She was very punctual, getting there exactly at the times I requested. She also agreed to adding 2 more drop in times so I could extend my weekend. She sent pictures each time of my fur babies! My pets were taken care of! I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs”

“This was my first time using Rover and I absolutely loved it and Katherine. She kept me updated with pictures and messages and even closed my windows while I was gone because of potential weather! She was so so amazing and I’m so thankful I had her there to drop on my two boys. 10/10 would recommend to anyone”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs. I grew up around cats and have been a dog owner myself for the past 5 years, in addition to regularly caring for friends’ dogs. I work a 9–5 job from home, which means your pet gets plenty of company throughout the day rather than being left alone for hours. I’m also able to take dogs on an extended walk during my lunch break, so they can get some exercise, fresh air, and attention in the middle of the day. Whether your pet needs a long walk, some playtime, a cozy companion while you’re away, or just a little extra TLC, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and preferences. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for! My weekly routine is pretty consistent, which is great for dogs who love having a predictable schedule! Every workday I start each morning with a trip to the gym, then come home and take the pups on a nice, extended walk through the Metroparks near my house. Once we’re home, I settle into work for a few hours while the dogs get some downtime. I have a fenced-in yard, so I like to let them out regularly throughout the morning to stretch their legs, sniff around, and get some fresh air. Lunchtime means another extended walk! It’s a great way to break up the workday and give everyone a chance to burn off some energy. Afterward, my own dog usually settles in for a well-earned afternoon nap while I finish up work. Once the workday wraps up, we usually head outside for one more walk before settling in for the evening. If everyone’s feeling a little less energetic, we’ll skip the walk and have some backyard fun instead, such as fetch, tug-of-war, or just general goofing around. Basically, your pup can expect plenty of exercise, fresh air, playtime, and company throughout the day, with lots of opportunities to relax and recharge too. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide a comfortable, low-stress home environment where pups can feel like part of the family. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside for fresh air and playtime, along with plenty of opportunities for walks and exercise throughout the day. Since I work from home, I’m also around to keep an eye on things and make sure everyone is doing well. For daycare and boarding, I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, crate time, and any other preferences or house rules you provide. I’ll also make sure dogs have time to relax and nap when they need a break from all the excitement. When introducing dogs to my home, I prioritize compatibility and a gradual introduction so everyone feels comfortable. I want every pup staying with me to feel safe, supervised, and genuinely at home, not like they’re being dropped off somewhere unfamiliar.

“She was great with my very senior golden retriever. Would definitely recommend her. She kept me updated on how my dog was doing and gave lots of love and attention.”

“Tyler was fantastic and we wood definitely book with him again! We appreciated the chance to speak with him through a pre-visit and introduce him to our pets. He was very communicative with us, and took great care to spend quality time with our pets during each visit. His photos brought smiles to our faces and allowed us to relax, knowing that our pets were receiving excellent care.”

Matthew G.

“As always, Jackie provides the best care for us! She has been our solid cat sitter for us now almost 2 years. We appreciate the care she gives while we are away.”

Melissa D.

“Veronica was a so communicative and easy to work! We were a challenging case - five cats, all with different needs and temperaments, some that had to stay separated, one that needed medicine, and a couple who don't drink water if it isn't fresh. On top of that, we had contractors coming in and out, which required moving cats around. Veronica handled it all like a champ, and was very adaptable, communicative and good-natured. We will definitely book her again!”

Tanisha C.

“Jessica dropped-in to feed and take care of our cats twice a day while we were gone for 10 days. She did a wonderful job, we’ve just come home and our cats are still happy and healthy, and their litter boxes clean! We had a crazy wind storm while we were gone that blew open a side door and knocked down part of our fence, she even helped to close & re-lock the door and sent a picture of our fence to let us know what had happened. This help showed me she cared about how we felt when we came home from our trip abroad!”

Bailey B.

“She did a great job taking care of my cat. My cat is pretty shy and likes to hide, but Arianna was super understanding and comforting for Goldie!”

Hailey O.

“Extremely caring and considerate!”

Maggie A.

“This was my first time using Rover, and Justine was great! Made the time to come over before we left to meet our cat and get a rundown of her needs. She kept us updated on Mac the whole time we were gone with great info and pics! As a cat mom who worries, Justine made me able to enjoy my time away, knowing my cat was in great hands!”

Alek B.

“Shandra is amazing! I am a repeat client for Shandra and she continues to be amazing! She was attentive, caring, and so communicative. I would recommend Shandra to anyone I know! She is the best!”
