Alyssa was Amazing! Communicated the entire time we were on our trip. Pictures from each drop in visit. Our dog absolutely loved her! Huge relief when traveling when we couldn’t bring our pup with us. Will for sure be reaching out to her again our next trip.

JJ is outstanding—animal care expertise, care for my pet and home, and communication. I’d recommend him to anyone, zero reservations. (Also, my cat jumps much higher now so I think he may be some type of cat athletic trainer.)

About: I’ve owned and cared for a wide variety of pets, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines. My experience with many types of pets helps me quickly understand and meet each animal’s unique needs I work from home often, so I have plenty of time to give your pet attention, whether that means staying with them longer or stopping by multiple times throughout the day. I’m flexible with scheduling and can easily adjust to your pet’s routine, making sure they get consistent care, companionship, and lots of attention while you’re awa I have a large fenced in yard, and I’m very active, so dogs in my care get plenty of outdoor time, including walks and hikes. I follow your pet’s routine closely and can stop by your home as often as needed to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for.

Angela was fantastic! She came over to meet us and our pets and exchange information prior to our weekend away. She followed our directions, spent quality time with our pets, gave lots of feedback (which is really important to us) and photos, and left the house in good condition. We will definitely be using her services again. Can't say enough good things about our experience!

About: I have been taking care of dogs for a little over a decade for my friends and family. I also worked at a dog daycare while in college, where I played, fed cuddled, loved, did house visits and overall cared for about any dog breed you can think of! On a regular day at the daycare, we would have around 25 different dogs at a time to care for. I also have have my own dog named Harley and he’s the best boy! I work full time. 5x 8’s with varying shift times and days but I will work around my hours to take care of your fur babies! I will always treat your fur baby like one of my own. They will have my full attention when I am with them and I will make sure their needs are met. I will follow all instructions you have and give them all of the love to make sure they are happy!

About: I currently have two cats who are well taken care of and who I have administered medications to and cleaned up after. I also grew up around dogs and am well versed with handling dogs of different temperaments. I work full time but I am very free on the weekends and after work to care for pets. I am also free around lunch times on Monday and Friday. I am adept at handling cats and dogs in difficult situations. For dogs, I would put them in their crate for a cool down time. For cats, I usually prefer to put them in time out in a room or disengage ntil they are able to not be as overstimulated. I also like to re-direct energy using play so pets do not feel punished for their energy.

About: I’ve helped take care of and train dogs of various sorts and sizes since I can walk along with my dad. I’ve gotten my love for animals as a whole from him and it’s the perfect therapy and job. Having many dogs, cats, birds, turtles, fish and pet crabs throughout my life has helped me to have an extra sense of care, love, and attention for all animals. I’m currently working part-time, so I’m available to play, train, and care for your lovable furry friend 7 days a week from 8am to 2pm and 9pm to 12am. I have a fenced front yard and backyard for your lovely pets to freely roam and play with me. I also have a 7 year old Shih Tzu and a 2 year old cat (both females) whom are very loving, calm, and ecstatic to meet a new friend. A crate is available upon request as well.

Kim was amazing! Our doggies love her and she was always on top of sending pictures/videos and updates. She made us feel like we didn’t have to worry about our fur babies while being out of town. She came prepared and asked questions about how to care for our doggies. She really treats them as if they were her own and it shows by how much our dogs enjoyed her watching them. Don’t hesitate to book with Kim! We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. I have such a big heart for our four legged friends and I take great care of them. I recently moved to Cleveland and adopted Winston. He is the best thing to ever happen to me. We love walks, going to the park, and just hanging out having each other as companions. I’ve had him since he was 8 weeks old and now he has turned into a well mannered young man! He would love to play your your fur baby!! My work schedule varies week by week but i am almost always home by 5pm and I keep my days pretty open on my days off. Winston and I go on about 5 walks a day as long as the Ohio weather permits!! I live in an apartment so I don’t personally have much square footage indoors but no matter the space, I would always try to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible. Fortunately, we have a nice dog park and some very pretty neighbors to walk around!

About: I’m excited to pet sit for you! I’m a recent college graduate and have been pet sitting for the past 8 plus years primarily in Ohio and North Carolina. I historically have stayed over and house/dog sat with 1-3 dogs. But have also done my fair share of cat sitting. I love animals and grew up with dogs and hanging with my cousins cats. Unfortunately I have been moving around more recently and have not been able to get my own. I love going to dog parks, playing fetch, and going for runs with dogs. Also, I have fun playing with cats and laser pens. I’m new to Washington, hence the Rover account. I’m free most weekends and also available in the evenings to walk dogs. I'm currently in grad school. I take mostly evening courses so am happy to come by for a mid-day walk and fairly free on most weekends. I'm hiking most weekends, so would love to take your furry friends on a hike! At this time my home is not available to pet sit but I am happy to come to your home to let pets out for a walk or to spend time together to play!

Megan helped us check on our 3 golden retrievers while we were away for a long weekend. She sent us photos every time she visited and we really liked how detailed she was on her daily reports. That really helped us feel less worried and relaxed during our trip. When we came back, our dogs were happy and healthy! We highly recommend her!!

Randy did a great job caring for our 10 yr old Lab. He walked her 2x per day and provided food and water each time. Randy was punctual and stayed for the contracted time. He even took in the mail. Randy used the Rover app to leave a detailed report of every visit, so we were always confident that our dog was being well cared for while we were out of town. We would definitely use Randy again.

Brittany was fantastic! She was so thorough and sent great updates and photos for each visit - I was able to relax on our trip knowing that she had everything handled. This was our first trip away from our recently adopted dog, so I was a little nervous about how she would do, but she warmed up immediately to Brittany (which was impressive!) and I could tell by all the photos that she was relaxed and happy. Will absolutely be booking with Brittany again!
