“Kathy clearly loves dogs and is very careful to make sure she knows all the needs of your pup before you leave. She sent updates and photos that eased my worry about leaving my dog with a new sitter. Frances came home happy and tired! :)”
“Lulu had another great stay with Susan. She is always excited to go there and I think she misses Frank and the other dogs when she comes home. Susan's pictures always show Lulu and friends having a lot of fun. I always feel confident when Lulu is at Susan's that she is in good hands.”

“Anna took such great care of my dogs. They’re both anxious but she made them feel comfortable. She sent me pictures and updates daily without me asking for them and I really appreciated that. I drove 30 min knowing they would be in good hands. I would def recommend Anna! Thanks so much! 🙏🏻”

“We cannot thank Peter and Tara enough for the amazing care they gave our pups! It was our first long trip without them and we had so much peace of mind knowing they were safe and having a blast while we were away. And all the pictures were amazing!”

“I was a bit nervous the first time I left my dog with Clifford, but the experience was perfect. Clifford was thoughtful and attentive. I had a great vacation while getting periodic updates (photos and videos) that eased my anxiety. Planning on a second engagement in two weeks.”

“Samantha was a kind and caring sitter! She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on how my puppy was doing. She also has 2 small and very well behaved pups and this was great for socialization. Very happy to leave my puppy with Samantha.”

“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”

About: I’m a dedicated dog mom who treats every dog like my own. I provide personalized care, follow routines closely, and send regular updates. My home is a safe, loving environment, and my friendly miniature poodle, Knox, enjoys making new dog friends. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a dog mom myself. I work during the day, but I’m able to come home and check on pups throughout the day. Evenings and weekends are when I have the most availability for walks, playtime, cuddles, and one-on-one attention. I make sure every dog gets plenty of care, exercise, and companionship while they’re with me. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. I have a backyard where they can safely run and play, and I can easily accommodate crate-trained dogs if needed. My miniature poodle, Knox, is friendly and enjoys having dog friends to play with and keep him company. We stay active with multiple walks throughout the day, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I do my best to follow each dog’s normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home during their stay.
“Angela was great with my dog shortie. Her dog colt is very sweet. She was very welcoming and listened carefully to all of my tips. She was super responsive and understood my anxieties about leaving my dog with someone.”

“Andrea is very professional and communicative. She is patient and attentive to the needs of both of my high energy pit bulls. I’ve gone through many dog sitters and she by far is the best she is great at understanding the needs of my girl pit as well as my boy. She goes above and beyond to make sure they’re comfortable and taken care of during their stay. Thank you again.”
“Takia to the rescue, i didn’t want to leave my Dog home for the Christmas Holiday and found out that she was available. I was so happy that my furbaby was able to stay with her where he receives lots of love. I always appreciate her services 💙”

“Colleen was so great with our dog while we were away! She provided nice updates throughout the trip and was very thorough in collecting information to provide the best care for our dog. 5-star dog sitter!”

“Susan was super sweet and trustworthy. Her yard was set up like a playground for dogs. It was amazing. I am thrilled with the care she provided my animals. I would use her again. Highly recommend”

About: My name is Ivette and I currently study at Case. My husband is a USPS mail carrier and I work from home. Currently, I have one dog and two rescue cats🐾. During the pandemic, I spent a significant amount of time with my pets indoors where I had the opportunity to take care of two litters that my dogs had. I learned many skills during that time. With age, my dog became a senior dog and had to take oral medication so I am used to giving oral/topical medication to pets. I have been living in the Cleveland area since 2019 but I am originally from Texas. My current home has a fenced back yard and a good route for walks. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.
University Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
I had a wonderful experience with Bri caring for my dog, Oreo! She was incredibly accommodating from start to finish and made the entire process stress-free. Bri communicated exceptionally well throughout the visit and regularly shared pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. What stood out most was how attentive she was to making sure I felt comfortable and informed the entire time. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Oreo’s well-being and wanted to ensure both of us had a positive experience.
Tove & Gerry are the best. Our 10 year old Golden Doodle Marley had only been boarded once in her life. From the first minute that she walked into their home Marley was comfortable. They took great care of her, sent updates and pictures and cared for her like she was their own. Tove even slept with Marley one night when her tummy wasn’t feeling great. You couldn’t ask for two more wonderful people to watch your little one.

she always does such a great job and is so amazing about keeping you in the loop and updated, i was away for about 11 days and i have a puppy and a senior pup and her and Colt (her pup) were such amazing sitters and were so great with both of my pups for the long stay 🐾 🦴 💜
