“Dena was able to come by last minute and help us out of a pinch. We got lots of photos of our dogs! She was great with our very large dogs, which is sometimes hard to find. One is skittish and she had no issues warming her up. Will definitely rebook!”
“Kenzie was so wonderful! Our dog is very nervous and she was so amazing with him. We also have a cat with medical issues and she was perfect with him as well. She’s the best!”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our little baby. Jeannie did a great job on our first time with her and followed all our instructions perfectly.”
“Excellent communication and our dogs absolutely loved her! The house was in great shape when we got back and the dogs were so happy and stress free having her to love on them while we were gone. 100% will book again.”
“Pierre was amazing! I put in a last minute request for Pierre’s drop in services during the holidays and he quickly responded. He sent multiple pictures per visit with my kittens being feed and litter boxes cleaned daily! He even grabbed my packages and placed them inside for me. Thank you, Pierre!”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I work full time, so evenings during the week work best and my availability is flexible on the weekends. I am more than happy to discuss more! My services will be suited for the clients’ need. I will discuss with you on how to care for pets before the booked appointment. You will know exactly where your pet is at all times.
About: (*Please be a smoke-free home for overnights - unfortunately I get asthmatic and have very bad physical reactions to smoke*) I've cared for my sister's dog while she is on vacation, and have several years caring for animals. Part-time, I care for 2 Jack Russell's and a Shorkie - the owners would be happy to recommend my services. I own a cat Allie, and she is treated like a queen, as should be any animal I would be caring for. Animals deserve the greatest love, attention and affection, and I consider them such a high priority. I have a semi flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to devote to the care of your fur babies, in your home, and while you are away. In the Meet & Greet, I will listen very intently for your animal (s) needs, and take detailed instruction on leash requirements, procedures, special requests, etc. Thank you, Nicole (Nicki) I am self-employed and therefore, flexible. I do watch my 3 doggies from 10:30-2:30 Monday through Friday, but otherwise have roughly 10 hours of drafting plans for an Architect. Those hours are also, quite flexible. I can accommodate your needs for overnight stays, medicines, play. While I prefer a fenced yard, I can accommodate on a leash if we are not going too far.
About: I have taken care of dogs from all sizes and breeds. I enjoy taking them for walks, playing fetch or giving them all the belly rubs they want! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have helped take care of my friends and families dogs while they are away. Depends on day and time, I can do 3 times a day if needed. I work full time but am available before work and after work Monday through Friday. I am also free Saturdays and Sundays whenever needed. I will always make time for your pets as you are trusting me to watch your loved ones while away. I would always make sure your pets are cared for by feeding them, giving them water and while out for a walk making sure their safety is my top priority. Playing with them with their favorite toys or giving them belly rubs before leaving to get as much energy out as possible!
About: For the past four years, I’ve been actively involved in running a busy in-home dog boarding and daycare business through Rover. While my former partner handled most of the client communication and scheduling, I was heavily involved in the day-to-day care of the dogs and was responsible for making sure they were safe, happy, exercised, and well cared for throughout their stay. I regularly cared for multiple dogs at a time, including dogs staying with us 24/7. My responsibilities included taking dogs outside every 1–2 hours, supervising playtime and group interactions, providing exercise and enrichment, cleaning up after them, and paying close attention to their individual personalities and behaviors. Over the years, I’ve learned a great deal about dog behavior and how to safely manage different temperaments, energy levels, and personalities. I became comfortable introducing dogs to one another, supervising group play, recognizing when dogs needed space or a break, and making sure every dog was comfortable in the environment. I also handled a large part of the cleaning and daily upkeep, including cleaning crates, deep-cleaning the dog areas, washing food and water bowls, maintaining a clean environment, and making sure the dogs always had a safe and comfortable place to stay. One of my favorite parts of caring for dogs is making sure they have a great experience while their owners are away. I love playing with them, giving them attention, taking them outside, and getting great pictures and updates for their owners so they can see how much fun their dog is having. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and after four years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a busy boarding and daycare environment, I’m excited to continue doing what I love and provide that same level of care to Rover clients and their pets. This is what I do and have done for a living for the last 4 years, prior to this I was working with my former partner under her rover account, plenty of play time for your pups! I create a safe environment for the dogs in my care by using crates, if your dog is good with other dogs then I do small play groups that last anywhere between 30-45 minutes, if your dog is reactive to other dogs I keep them in separate areas of the house, and let them out 1 on 1 with me.
“This was the first time I have used Archna and I won’t be using anyone else again!! I have 3 boy kitties and she was wonderful with all of them, even Bart, who tends to be a brat and hides from everyone but me. For the first time, a Sitter actually found him and even took a picture of him!! Lol! Raffie had some respiratory problems and Archna took immediate action. I had told her I had medication for him; she found it and gave him his antibiotic, after which, Raffie was fine. I got wonderful pictures and detailed reports daily! When I returned, the house was clean, litter boxes, the same! Archna was kind enough to water some of my plants which need watering every day. She did not have to do that as part of her sitting job, but this is the kind of person Archna is! As I said in the beginning, I won’t be hiring anyone else but Archna again! She really is the best!”

“Lisa has been fantastic with my dog. He was apprehensive and standoffish about a stranger coming into the house, but she’s been so kind and patient with him while he gets to know her. Thank you so much!!!”
About: PLEASE READ: I have started my own dog walking and pet sitting business and would like to grow it there rather than on Rover. If you are interested in hiring me, please search on Facebook or Google "Rachael's Dog Walking and Pet Sitting" or message me for the links, my website, or email. You can still read much of my current information here. I worked as a professional pet sitter for one of the biggest pet sitting companies in the Cleveland area for 2.5 years and have done pet sitting on my own since then. I have experience caring for many different types of animals of all ages and sizes. I have taken care of them when the owners were on vacation; feeding, giving medicine, walking, etc. I also do dog walking visits during the day for people who are at work or sometimes still home. I have had my own dogs, cats, and other small animals my whole life. I currently have a very part time remote job as a social media coordinator, and have recently started my own dog walking and pet sitting business and also do occasional freelance graphic design and photo editing. I am mainly looking to work in mornings and afternoons on weekdays, but can occasionally do nights and weekends too. I am available for daily dog walking in cities near Olmsted Falls, and can do occasional pet sitting in farther cities. I have professional experience caring for animals and being in client's homes. Before I worked as a pet sitter, I even cleaned houses for 4 years, while people were away, so I can be trusted in people's homes. I always make sure to hold a dog's leash tight, and make sure no pets get out when I come and go through a door. I also always make sure the door is locked when I leave. I will meet you and your pets before services begin to go over everything so I know exactly what to do and make sure the pets get to know me first.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for several years and have experience both pet sitting and staying overnight in clients’ homes. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ve cared for pets of different ages and personalities, providing feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention. I treat every pet like my own and always strive to make them feel comfortable and loved. I work during the week and am available before and after work for pet care, walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I’m fully available Friday through Sunday and make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care. I always do my best to work around each pet’s routine and individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I always follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I treat every home with respect, keep owners updated with messages and photos, and make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their family is away.
“James was fantastic with our cats. He had thoughtful questions prior to us being away, and was really communicative during our time away. He went above and beyond when we had a sensor issue with our Simplisafe alarm system.”

Gracie is amazing! We will definitely be booking her drop-in services again for our 3 dogs. She came over before our trip to meet our pups and get a run down of their routine. Then at each drop-in visit, we got an update and great photos! Gracie is reliable, trustworthy, and there's no doubt she loves dogs! Five stars! Highly recommend!
It quickly became clear to me that Nicole is a true animal lover at heart, which gave me so much peace of mind while she cared for my fur babies. She kept me updated, shared wonderful photos, and spent genuine quality time with my two cats. I could tell they were well cared for and loved while I was away. So grateful. Thank you, Nicole :)

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
