“Kathleen and Nathan took excellent care of our dog. We were passing through the area on our way home from the east coast and needed a place for Dilly to get some exercise and play before we continued our trip. Dilly enjoyed playing in their large, fenced yard and had fun playing with their kids. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Dilly was happy and relaxed and ready to go the next day.”
“Anita was so great! My dog is super shy but she really enjoyed her stay with Anita and fern. I got updates two times a day while on vacation and was totally confident that Luna was ok.”
“Jessica took great are of our dog while we were away. The daily photos she sent showed that Sundance was comfortable in his temporary surroundings, which gave us peace of mind. She has a nice fenced yard where dogs can enjoy outdoors time. She was available for meet/greet and drop off/pick up. All went smoothly!”
“Kim is so wonderful! My dog is young and gets food aggressive with other animals, but she handled it great and was very accommodating to her needs. Her two dogs are so sweet and her home is a great environment for my dog. My dog seemed very comfortable and loved. I received plenty of pictures (which I adore). I would highly recommend Kim to care for your pup!”

About: I foster for our local pet rescue and do well socializing pups and adult dogs who are child friendly. Avid walker with clean, comfortable home. I work from home daily so unless I’m at a client visit, you can expect 24/7 care. Can help over nights and weekends for traveling. I have a lead in the back yard for potty breaks, access to local metro park for long walks, stair gates and a pen for crating.
“Wrigley had a wonderful stay with Mark and Vicki! We received lots of daily updates and pictures, which made our vacation enjoyable because we knew he was in great hands.

About: Pets have always been a part of my life. I have years experience training and taking care of my own pets, everything from dogs, and cats to snakes, and rabbits and everything in between. I am a go-to petsitter for neighbors and friends and family. I worked for a doggie daycare for a little over a year. I currently am a certified dog groomer on the weekends and a stay at home dog mom during the week, so I have plenty of time for your fur, feather, and scale babies. I currently work part time on the weekends, I have plenty of time to check on your fur babies and get their energy out while you are away during the week. I have a bearded dragon, rabbits, and two dogs who are my babies, oh and chickens! My dogs are treated like family and are spoiled everyday I cant wait to do the same for yours. I am very good at paying attention to detailed care instructions and maintaining an established routine for your pet while also giving them plenty of love and care while you are away.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life and I’ve been taking care of other people’s pets since I was in high school and have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My goal is to provide dependable care and regular updates so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m a stay at home mom with a husband who works remote so I’m very flexible! This allows me to provide consistent care, frequent potty breaks, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Your pet will receive plenty of supervision and companionship while in my care. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities.

I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

“Augusta was absolutely wonderful while watching our three cats during a recent trip to Nashville. She went above and beyond in every way—cleaning up spilled litter and food without being asked, and taking such great care of our babies. We loved the consistent daily updates with adorable photos and videos that truly put our minds at ease while we were away. Augusta followed every instruction perfectly and made sure each cat was comfortable and cared for. We could tell she genuinely loves animals, and we are so grateful for the kindness and attention she gave to our fur family. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, detail-oriented sitter! She is our new go-to sitter, hands down! ❤️”
“Brianne has been awesome! I was able to stay in touch with her, which was super important to me! She has been in contact with me each day throughout my trip (including adorable pictures!) and I felt so much better knowing someone caring was visiting with my 3 cats over the past week. I will be using her services again when I need to go out of town. Brianne is great :)”
About: While I have only had one cat, I have always been around kitties and love their witty personalities! I have watched roommates' and neighbors' cats since I was young and would love to be considered to watch yours!

“I was very nervous to use the Rover app for the first time but a had a wonderful experience with this. My dog has diabetes and needs a pee break every three hours. An unexpected situation came up and I decided to try this service. He was wonderful and even sent me pictures to insure me that Noah was fine on his visit. Will definitely use again!”
“Julie was great! She was very patient and caring with my very shy and nervous cat. She took extra care to make sure he was as comfortable as he could be in order to receive medication he needs. She was also very communicative, meet with me multiple times to ensure I felt comfortable. Highly recommend and plan on using in the future!!”
“On our initial meeting with Anna, Ruby loved her almost instantly. I loved receiving daily photos and updates about her playtime and any hair balls.

About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life, and now that I’m recently retired, I have the time to give them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I treat every dog like part of the family—whether we’re going for a walk, playing fetch, or just relaxing together. With a calm, patient nature and a flexible schedule, I can focus fully on your pet’s needs and routines. You can rest easy knowing they’ll be safe, happy, and loved like one of my own. I am recently retired and am available all of the time. I currently have two small dogs of my own and watching an additional dog would be no trouble at all. If you dog stays with me, they will be treated just like my own pet. I am able to walk them, feed them special diets, or administer oral medication. I am home almost all of the time and can give them the attention they need.

About: Life long animal lover, I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, ducks, fresh water aquariums and hamsters. It delights me to give other pet owners peace of mind while they are away from their furry, feathery or even scaley family members by providing care, companionship and security. Pet care is my main schedule priority, I also work as a wellness counselor part time but generally have a lot flexibility in my schedule as I mainly operate remotely for that and I am happy to work with you and your furbabies schedule needs. I do not currently offer care within my own home due to limited space but I am very happy to care for your pets within your own home or by taking them to a trail or park where they can be their happiest and most comfortable. It's important to me to ensure animals stick to their routines to ensure the least amount of stress while owners are away so the more detailed care instructions provided the better, I'm not afraid to adust my personal schedule to best fit the needs of any pet!
“I had a great experience with Emily walking my dog, Rocket! She let me know when she arrived, sent me photos, and provided a detailed summary of how the walk went. Because the conditions near my house meant Rocket could not walk a long distance, Emily spent the remainder of the time allotted for the walk working on some command training - she was very thoughtful in asking me beforehand to confirm what commands I was working on with Rocket. I'll be happy to book with Emily again!”
About: My husband and I have loved getting to dog sit for friends and family. When we heard about rover we got so excited! My husband and I are both runners and are happy to take the dogs we watch on runs/ walks and hikes. We also have enjoyed our new home which came with a fenced in yard. Giving the dogs freedom to run and play is so fun to watch! Every dog we watch feels right at home and we love to cuddle with each and every one. I am currently a stay at home mom for my 5, 4 and 2 year old and think your pup will fit in just right with our fun crew. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

We have a beautiful fenced in backyard with lots of room to run and play. We also have a crate that can be utilized if need be. There is an extra room we use for dogs to be able to take a break if need be.

I offer both drop-in visits and overnight stays, with a big focus on making sure your pet stays in their normal routine. I’m confident handling different sizes, temperaments, and leash behaviors, and always prioritize safety and consistency. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I bring. I’m very detail-oriented and tuned in to behavior, so I pick up quickly on what makes each dog comfortable. I keep communication clear and consistent with updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I also keep things clean, calm, and organized in your home during visits or overnight stays. I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have two cats of my own, so I truly understand the trust that goes into leaving your pet with someone. With years of building my long term clientele, I can assure you your pets will be treated like my own everytime! My goal is to make your dog or cat feel secure, cared for, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone reliable who goes beyond the basics, I’d love to connect and meet your pets:) I have dedicated my days and weekends to providing loving care for animals! I’m fortunate to have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet sitting a priority in my day to day life. Most of my experience has been pet sitting in the owners home or drop ins! I provide overnight services as well. Since I have 2 cats of my own, I would allow dogs to stay at my home if they have experience being around cats. I am dedicated to making each animal feel as comfortable as possible and making sure they feel loved while you are away.
About: I’ve been a dog lover since about the age of 10 when we got my family dog, Shadow, a cockapoo. As a kid and while growing up, I even trained Shadow to compete in agility competitions and took him to training weekly while also practicing with him in the backyard! When I moved out, I got my own fur baby- a golden doodle named Bubity! Obsessed doesn’t even begin to describe how much I love my dog as I have a water bottle, pair of slippers, shorts and sweatshirt with him on it! I promise to treat your dog as if they’re are my own! I’m currently working part time as a nurse while also attending classes virtually for my masters. My schedule changes weekly but I usually know it about a month in advance! I am pretty flexible on my days off and and willing to work with you in order to help take care of your fur baby! I have a fully fenced in yard and my 1 golden doodle at home. I am more than happy to host your dog for play dates in our yard. I know how hard it is to get a routine set with your dog whether it be something as simple as turning the TV on before leaving the house, walking a specific route to get them to go potty or giving them a special treat when they’re going to be left alone. Whatever your routine is, let me know and I will follow it to its entirety!
About: I currently have a flexible schedule and looking to help relieve some pent up pupper energy or drop in for a hangout during those long days. Do you have a pup that needs a walk or a fall hike? Are you traveling this Holiday season? I have some Holiday availability for boarding. I am currently between jobs and wanting to explore areas where my passions lie. My greatest joy are my pets and I’d love to help spoil yours. I am highly flexible during the weekdays. I have a fully fenced in yard as well as everything your pet may need. I have a variety of crate sizes, dog beds, bowls, leashes, and litter boxes. I have many baby gates allowing the ability to separate animals if needed. I personally allow my dog to free roam and sleep in bed but able to accommodate all guests.
About: I’m available for round-the-clock care this summer! I am a music teacher during the school year but I love taking care of animals as well. I can care for any type of animal, I’m always down to learn about new and interesting pets too! I’m available almost 24/7 this summer since I’m a teacher and have summers off. I’m hoping to get plenty of walks in not only for the animals but also myself! I am able to provide consistent care around the clock if needed. I can follow directions for feeding, medication administration, and bathroom needs. I love walking dogs and hanging out with cats!
About: I can’t remember a time growing up not being around an animal. I have experience working in rescues and have been fostering for over a year now. I have also been dog sitting for over 4 years. I love being around animals and helping them live their best lives while providing safety and trust! I mostly work evenings so I have time during the day to hang out with and give love to some cats and dogs. Allow me to take some stress away while you are busy or working to provide some playtime for your pup or cat! I understand the possible worry of having someone take care of your animals and I assure being vigilant will take top priority. While allowing playtime or taking them for walk, I will be sure to keep them safe!

About: All K9 Solutions is fully insured and licensed here in Akron OH. I've been training dogs for 6 years and professionally for 4 years. After I worked for reputable training companies, one here in Akron area as the head trainer, I decided to open my own company called All K9 Solutions. I grew up with dogs, and have experience with cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, chickens, and ducks as I used to manage a farm as well. I personally network all over the US with other dog trainers. One of my recent travels has been to Kansas to help host a working dog workshop with a few small departments. I have two Belgian malinois who I strive for their needs to be met daily. From mental stimulation to physical stimulation while giving them a “job”. My youngest is 3 years old and does many sports (PSA, AKC sports, and has been dabbling in odor work), and my oldest is 10, he’s a retired military explosives K9 who served on the boarder of Jordan up until 7 years old. Both the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. All of my dogs have off leash obedience training that is kept up with. I have a background in dog training, boarding, and daycare; from puppies all the way to seniors. I strive for knowledge with dogs as there’s always new information to learn and dogs aren’t cookie cutter. I’m also an STSK9 MVP student for advanced obedience. I’m very passionate about teaching others about dogs from genetics and breeds to how their psychology works. My business hours run from 7am-10pm. My availability is open from the afternoon to night time, this way all morning routines are completed, walks, potty breaks, feeding, training sessions etc. All dogs are boarded in a home environment instead of a facility. This way your dogs aren’t as stressed being away from you, and they can comfortably enjoy their vacation too. All dogs are kenneled to ensure safety (not investing anything they shouldn’t, no free roam 24/7 with other client’s dogs you don’t know, and they have their own space to decompress). Since the yard isn't fenced in, all dogs must be leashed with a properly fitted collar with a longline when going outside, a harness, or a slip lead. However, a good peaceful walk with all the smells is always more mental and physical stimulation for the dogs than a fenced in area with limited access. Reactive dogs and fearful dogs are welcome as I have years of experience with them, and training them to grow confidence and obedience. I also have experience with special need's animals. Loud dogs are welcome too. If your dog(s) show healthy body language and do well with other dogs, my two malinois are gentle beings and always love a play mate. Minka especially, she follows the other dog's pace and reads their body language. I do ask that you leave your vet information with me and emergency vet information as well for an emergency contact if ever need be. Better safe than sorry. I also do ask for a second choice of contact incase the primary owner is unable to be reached. All dogs must be up to date on vaccines and bordetella for boarding and daycare. Safety precautions are always taken. For the well being of the dogs and myself. Please note that I do require all important behaviors are made aware of by the owners before hand and I will notify owners upon any concern of sickness or bite risks. I send updates each day as well or will add photos to your rover card.
“Isabel was a gem ! She’s an obvious dog lover who took Lily on daily walks and to the dog park. She texted and sent photos daily which helped me immensely. She has a huge fenced in backyard so there’s plenty of room for the dog(s). Isabel was a great fit for us and I would use her again.”
About: I won’t lie and say I’ve professionally taken care of dogs for 15 years—but I’ve taken care of dogs ever since elementary school, in my own household and in others’. I know what to look out for to prevent a dog from getting into trouble. I’ve dealt with just about all kinds of messes. And I can handle any size of dog. My main job is part-time contract work, so there are a lot of monetary and time gaps that need filled. That said, my routine allows a lot of room for pet sitting! Every dog is different, so I take that approach with each pet I look after. I follow owner’s instructions, and if I have any questions I am not afraid to ask for clarification—the dog’s/owner’s needs come first. I love giving dogs the attention they deserve (which is usually a lot), and am great at playing.
“Shannnon was amazing with my boys! I’ve never really left them with anyone but family and she made me feel like they were her family! She sent lots of photos and updated me throughout their stay! I would be happy to let my dogs go stay with her any time I needed! The dogs didn’t want to come back home when I picked them up!”
“Wonderful experience boarding with Jenna! Lovely fenced yard, lots of love provided, and payed careful attention to my pups’ needs. Very friendly yet professional setting. Would reboard again without reservation!”
“Excellent Dog Sitter! I can’t recommend Mary enough! She took amazing care of our dogs while we were away. From the very beginning, Mary was professional, friendly, and clearly experienced with animals. She took the time to learn about our dog’s routine, preferences, which gave us great peace of mind. Throughout the stay, Mary kept us updated with regular messages and photos, showing how happy and relaxed our dogs were in her care. It was clear our pups were getting plenty of attention, playtime, and love. When we came back our dogs were calm, well cared for, and even a little sad to say goodbye to Mary! If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves dogs and treats them like family, Mary is the perfect choice. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“First time using Rover. My Remy enjoyed his stay with Warren especially his fenced-in backyard where he can roam around freely. He sent us pics and videos of his stay so we are confident that he is being taken care of. We'll definitely use him again. We highly recommend him.”
“Jason was a life saver agreeing to care for Stella while I had a last minute meeting out of town. He was very responsive and took great care of her. She was happy and busy playing when I came to pick her up. Would absolutely use again. Thanks for the great care!”
