“Clifford did an amazing job watching my dog, Zebo, today! From the moment I picked him up, I could tell he had a great time. He came back happy, energetic, and acting like he had puppy fever again — and he’s 11! 😂 That alone tells me he was well cared for and genuinely enjoyed his time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Zebo was in good hands. I truly appreciate the care and attention Clifford gave him and would absolutely trust him again for doggy day care. Highly recommend!”

“My husband and I were traveling across country with our fur baby, Bella and he wanted to visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. They do not allow dogs (unless they are service dogs) into the hall of Fame, so as a Rover sitter myself, I looked for a sitter here. I found Pam and she was great! She provided the care and attention that Bella needed. When we left the Hall of Fame to go pick Bella up, I texted Pam to let her know we were on our way. Pam was thoughtful enough to take Bella for a walk before we picked her up and continued for a four hour drive. I highly recommend her!”

“Such a wonderful job! I will definitely be bringing my dog back. Understood my dogs needs even did some training with him and took him for a walk.”

About: **Serious Inquiries Only *** With over 10 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I have developed a deep understanding and passion for working with small dog breeds and puppies. Throughout my career, I’ve been dedicated to providing top-tier care for both puppies and adult small breeds, helping them thrive in loving, healthy environments. I have worked extensively with a variety of small dog breeds, including Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Yorkies, Shih Tzus, and Dachshunds. My experience spans everything from basic pet care and feeding to behavior management, training, and health monitoring. I specialize in the unique needs of small dogs, including their dietary requirements, exercise routines, and socialization skills. My approach is centered around building trust and positive relationships with the pets in my care. With puppies, I focus on early socialization, potty training, and establishing consistent routines to set them up for a well-adjusted adulthood. With adult small dogs, I work on maintaining good health, managing behavioral issues, and fostering strong bonds between pet and owner. I’m particularly passionate about understanding the individual personalities of each dog, ensuring they receive personalized care that meets their specific needs. My extensive background in pet care has allowed me to not only enhance the lives of the dogs I care for but also provide valuable advice and support to their owners, helping them navigate the joys and challenges of dog ownership. I am dedicated to provide my full attention to your pup throughout their entire stay! If it’s boarding or just a fun day at doggy day camp I can ensure your pup will have a great time! I have a fenced in back yard , plenty of toys and activities to keep your pup busy! My home has central air conditioning for hot summer days . I also have a small male shitzu to keep your pup company during their stay .

“All went well, & my dog enjoyed the stay!”

“Absolutely delighted with the care my pitbull Tito received from Sophie! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the moment Tito met her, he was all tail wags. She took him on multiple outdoor adventures, including a fantastic 1-hour hike, which I'm sure he thoroughly enjoyed. It's clear that she treated Tito like one of her own, allowing him to socialize and play with her dogs. The level of activity and exercise he got was impressive – he was happily exhausted and even took a nap as soon as we got home! Not only did she provide exceptional care, but she also shared valuable recommendations for the best treats and toys, showing her genuine dedication to the well-being of our furry friends. Tito can't wait for his next visit, and neither can I! Huge thanks to a dog sitter who goes above and beyond! ??”

About: I have a variety of pet experience. Most notably with dogs, I have fostered over 13 dogs in the last several years through Kane's Mission. I am sure to give your dog personalized attention and love and care they deserve! We live in a great walkable community in Shaker Heights. We are happy to take your dog on walks and visits to the park, so they can have a nice vacation too! I can currently adapt to most pet care schedules. I have a flexible schedule from home, and I am here to offer a seamless transition. I have fenced in yard with room to romp around, and I am located in a great walking community with a park nearby. I can also come to you reliably to let your dog out and given home play, social, and exercise time.

“It is so nice to know that our puppy Hogie is in good hands while we are at work during the week. Hogie really enjoys playing with Bri and Ski and he gets plenty of exercise before coming home at the end of daycare. Al has been fantastic, he keeps us updated on how the day is going and has been very flexible and reliable.”

“Kyle was amazing with our 10 month old Bernese! He is extremely patient and understanding, especially when it comes to a high energy puppy! He sends multiple updates throughout the day to make sure you know your pup is being well taken care of :) We will definitely continue to use Kyle for daycare and other puppy needs, he treats Bogey so well and is very in tune with what he may need throughout the day ◡̈”

“Seymour lives his best life while staying with Tongyezhi and her family. It's tough to give Seymour the attention he deserves at home with two toddlers running around so it is a major relief to be able to have him do daycare where he can have the extra fun he is missing at home.”

About: Dogs have always been part of my life and my family. I am retired now, so my schedule is very flexible. My husband and I lead an active lifestyle and will make sure your dog is taken care of like family. We have a large backyard with access from a doggy door. We will keep you posted with photos and feedback on a daily basis. We have raised all breeds over our years as dog owners and have been blessed with wonderful senior rescues. Since my husband and I are both retired we are very flexible in our schedules and should be able to accommodate any timeframe that is needed. Our backyard is spacious and fenced in. There is access through a doggy door if that is negotiable for your dog. It can also be blocked if if required. We are very close to a beautiful park, which is wonderful for some nice long walks. We recently lost our 10 year old bull terrier to cancer and so our house feels empty without our beloved Walter. We will make sure your furry friend feels like family.

About: Growing up we always had a family dog. We had Schnauzers (twice), a Cocker Spanial, a Wire Fox Terrier and a Springer Spaniel. My favorite was probably the Springer, as she loved to play fetch for hours. While I don't have professional (getting paid) experience, I do occasionally dog sit for a neighbor, in fact doing so for a week this coming March (2020). Looking forward to getting one of my one some day. Newly retired, I didn't want to have a dog while working full time and didn't want to leave the dog alone all day. Looking forward to meeting some pups before getting a dog of my own. I have plenty of free time now so I am very flexible. I currently have 2 cats and am availabe for cat sitting also. I'm retired so I have plenty of free time for taking care of your pets. I'm available for frequent walks and quality time with your pet. I have fenced in back yard. I have Springer Spaniel that I usually walk 3 times a day. I also have an older cat that avoids the Springer!

“Angel is very good at communicating and sent many pictures updates. My puppy had a blast with her.”

About: Hello 👋 Thank you for checking out my profile. My name is Matt. My partner Kim and I have been taking care of dogs and cats on Rover for five years now. We have 2 dogs of our own that we love very much named Baxter and Archie. We will take care of your pup like our own, because every pup deserves a lot of love. I offer boarding services for dogs in the Greater Cleveland Area and local drop-in/walking services for any kind of pet in Tremont. For boardings: We can board one large dog, or 2 medium sized dogs at a time. I accept all clients from the greater Cleveland area. For walks and drop ins: I offer walks & drop-ins for the Tremont area. Think biking distance from Lucky's Cafe. My daily availability fluctuates, but as of June 2026 I am available before 6:30 AM and after 4 PM most days. Please contact me for scheduling! For boardings: I offer lots of walks, lots of treats, and a loving home. Please let me know if there is something I can do to customize my care for your pooches safety and comfort. For Walks/Drop-Ins: I take photos and send a little story about how your pups day/walk went. Your pets health and safety is always my number one priority. I prefer spending time with them indoors during extreme cold or heat.

“Mary is so kind and truly loves animals. She was so kind and patient with my little puppy. She kept me updated throughout the day to ease my anxiety of leaving my dog for the first time. She also is very flexible in her schedule which is exactly what I was looking for. Excited to have Mary watch her again!”

About: Hello! My name is Ella and I’m 23 years old and I am a student at the Cleveland institute of music studying opera. Singing and animals are my two greatest passions in life! I grew up with a Bichon who is now 12 years old and living with my mom in Columbus Ohio. Taking care of him throughout my life has been one of my greatest blessings and I’ve had the joy of extending my love for him to dozens of dogs and cats across the Cleveland area over the past 6 years! I follow a vegan diet and am passionate about the color yellow and I adore movies (especially horror!). All my friends love meeting and playing with any animals I care for (with pet parent permission of course!) so no matter what, I (or me AND my friends) will give your baby(s) a most fun and special time! I am a graduate student at the Cleveland institute of music and within my schedule have breaks and long blocks of time where I can go to hangout with, check in on, walk, and feed pets :) I’m almost always available to spend the night and take care of them in the morning before setting off for my day. The longest I would need to leave a dog alone would be 5-6 at most, but that would be rare. Most often, it would be 3-4 hours or less :) I always appreciate when pet parents create a list for me of things I need to know so I can continue to reference it throughout my time caring for their pet until I get to know the dog super well! I am careful to keep dangerous or toxic things off floors and out of reach, I ensure that small dogs have easy access to higher couches or beds (as long as pet parents allow this), I clean and refill their water bowl every morning and wash their food bowls. I will give your dog lots of love and cuddles and pets and attention and time outside and exercise and plenty of treats!

“Austin was flexible with drop-off and pick up times, and sent us updates throughout the day. We appreciate that because Rory can be shy with other dogs at first, so it was nice to have the confirmation that she was settling in and having a good time. Will be using Austin again!”

“Takia was amazing with my pup. She sent update pictures and kept me updated on how well he was doing. He absolutely loved the other little pup she was watching.”
