“Tiffany was absolutely wonderful. I felt so secure knowing I was updated about every visit via communication and pictures. I felt ensured my kiddo was safe, taken care of, and given lots of love while I was away for a week. Tiffany is the sweetest and is definitely apart of my pitty lover crew! Highly recommended!”


“Ron is great and SO reliable. I never wonder for even a moment whether he’ll show up as scheduled or care for our dogs as we request. I can see in the photos he takes that the dogs greet him at the door with toys to show off to him — an unmistakable sign that they are happy to see him!”

“Rachel was great with Bella! She sent great pics of her while she was doing a drop in visit and taking her for a walk. Looking forward to Rachel taking care of Bella in the future.”


About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have experience with dogs at every stage of life, from newborn puppies to senior dogs requiring extra care. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions when needed. I also have experience working with dogs that have behavioral challenges such as separation anxiety, resource guarding, and reactivity. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’m very familiar with canine body language and believe strongly in calm, consistent handling. I’ve helped puppies learn leash walking, basic obedience commands (sit, stay, down, etc.), and have supported owners during early potty-training stages. For boarding, I do require that dogs are already potty trained so they can comfortably integrate into the household routine. Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis for an additional cost. My goal is always to create a calm, safe environment where each dog feels comfortable and well cared for. I care for pets full-time, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. Dogs staying in my home receive regular potty breaks, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. Because my schedule is flexible, I can accommodate morning, midday, and evening needs and will adapt to your dog’s routine so their schedule stays as consistent as possible. I prioritize a calm, safe environment for every dog in my care. I intentionally board dogs from only one household so each dog receives individual attention and a lower-stress environment compared to high-volume boarding homes. I have my own friendly dog, and I always ensure dogs are a good temperament match before confirming a stay. Meet-and-greets are encouraged so both dogs can become comfortable before the booking. I carefully follow each dog’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medications or special instructions provided by the owner. Safety and consistency are always my top priorities.
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and had a mini dachshund for 15 years. Over the last decade I've been called on numerous times to watch and board dogs for friends, family and neighbors. I am a single dad who has custody of my kids 50/50 so when I don't have them I could give a dog my full attention and be its buddy! On weekends we could hit a trail or go for a long walk at a park. Monday through Friday I usually leave for work around 6:45 or 7, and will return home around 4 pm. And in the evening we'll hang out and have fun! I live within walking distances to a few parks for walks. The Trolley Trail is nearby too if your pet likes a bit of a longer walk.
“We had Vanessa watch our two young cats over Thanksgiving week. Vanessa was great with them and with us - attentive to their needs and very responsive to us. Our favorite was the pictures she shared in the after-visit reports, and our cats’ favorite was seeing their new buddy. Vanessa was very respectful, professional, and kind. Would definitely ask Vanessa to come back in the future!”

“Lulu was excellent with both of my dogs who have very different personalities. She was thorough and sent me pictures/text updates when she was there. I fully trust her to watch any of my animals in the future. 5/5”

“Thank you for being such a great dog walker and checking on my boys during the holiday!!! Your communication and attention to detail is so appreciated! The boys will see you again soon!”

“Thank you, Shannon! She provided excellent care to my two cats! I would highly recommend Shannon as she was very dependable and caring. She provided regular updates and photos during our trip as well. I have already booked a second reservation with Shannon for a future trip. Shannon will treat your pets with the care they deserve.”

“Michaela was amazing with our large dog! She took him on walks and provided us with picture updates. We felt great about leaving the dog with her and would absolutely use her again.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Mya made the experience amazing! I will definitely be using her again. My dog is very shy and not good with strangers but Mya took her time to be patient and calming. My dog started warming up to her very fast and I belive dogs have a good judge of character ;)”

“I needed recurring visits & Arrica was more than helpful with my dog! She truly saw my dog as her own & took wonderful care of him. Will be booking with her again if I need someone to drop in on him!”

“Cheyenne did an outstanding job making sure each of my cats were taken care of with care. She was particularly careful with the one very shy cat making sure she did not stress her, and made her as comfortable as possible. The kitties were very happy when I came home loving the attention, play time and care from Cheyenne. I highly recommend her!”

“Rachel did a great job watching out for my cat when I was out of town on a business trip. She lives near by so it was easy for her to drop in. She played with my cat, feed him, scooped his litter, & petted him. I'm planning to use her services again the next time I have to go out of town.”

About: We have had pets all of our life. From dogs to cats, bunnies, hamsters, and mice! We love going on walks, playing in the house or snuggling up on the couch. Special diets are no problem. I have taken care of geriatric pets and tummy sensitive pets before. I work 3 days a week. Katie is home all the time and is able to tend to your baby all day so your fur baby won't be lonely! We have a fenced in back yard and a cozy living room with plenty of dog beds to go around. I live right by a park with a walking trail for potty breaks. We do have 4 dogs and 3 cats of our own that are very friendly and love to play.

“Erin took great care of our dog Jack while we were out of town! She did drop in visits and kept us updated on how he was doing. We definitely recommend using Erin!”

Swope Parkway-Elmwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Crissy went above and beyond to take care of my 3 pets. I had a family emergency while I was traveling, so they extended the checkins. When we had a blizzard, they took my dog Sadie to their house and cared for her until the storm cleared. It means a lot to me that they took care of things so I could attend to my family in Pennsylvania. Thank you!

Carmen and Katie were amazing! They were always on time and sent us lots of (happy) pictures of our furbaby. Ping-Pong is elderly and needs meds twice a day. All meds were dispensed as directed and cuddles were given liberally. We will use them again and I highly recommend them! I guarantee you and your furbabies will not be disappointed!
