“Pam and her son Evan were incredibly wonderful to my 2 pups. They took them in like family which was clear from the photos they sent while I was away and they way they watched over them to keep them safe and well cuddled! I can’t say enough about these new friends. They were just super!!!”
“Melanie was great taking care of our little Charlie. She gave him lots of attention and he really enjoyed being at her home. She also gave us updates on how he was doing.”
“Jess took exceptional care of our older Bernese Mtn dog, Gracie. Just as her background on Rover indicates, Jess is well-versed in special care with administering meds and handling our dog who has some issues with weakness. Her care goes beyond those two qualities! Our dog loved her stay there as to how great she looked when we picked her up! Jess gave us a daily photo update and stayed connected with us about an issue Gracie had, which was quickly resolved. Wonderful peace of mind. We can't say enough great things about Jess. She is the best!”
“They did a wonderful job watching our girl Mouse. She had recently been spayed and they took time and care to make sure she didn’t have any issues while we were traveling for work. We will absolutely use their boarding services again. They sent daily photos and updates which were greatly appreciated. 10/10”
“Brendan & Sarah are the best! They took great care of our two large dogs and sent us plenty of pics and updates. It’s such a relief to know our dogs are well cared for when we go out of town.”
“Julie and her family were excellent with my somewhat anxious dog Sammy, and made him feel at home from the beginning. She sent daily pics/videos. Highly recommend her!”
“Kathy took great care Cosmo. He had only recently started taking medications and she watched me give him his pills the morning I dropped him off so she would be able to give him his twice daily pills every day. I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care.”
“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!”
“I wish is could give Kyle 10 stars! This was my first time taking my pup to a sitter and I had nothing short of a worry free comfortable experience. Kyle is very friendly and sent updates and pictures almost everyday! Layla had a blast and I’ve never seen her get so comfortable so quickly. I will absolutely be back. Thank you for keeping Layla happy and comfortable and contributing to a good ,worry free trip.”
“Kirby had another great visit with Tom and Tolley! They always send pictures and/or videos. I never worry that he’s having a great time and being very well taken care of.”
“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! 🙏🏻”
“Lynn was an amazing caregiver for my Chloe. She boarded there a whole week and I was very comfortable with her care. It was wonderful to travel and not have to worry. She texted me every day with updates and sent pictures and videos. She even washed all of Chloe‘s bedding!! which is so appreciated. She has a lovely spacious home and a huge fenced in backyard.I would highly recommend Lynn and hope to use her again.”
“Colleen was great, and accommodating of a last minute request for sitting. I received daily updates with photos, and my dog seemed very happy. No issues noted, and will definitely use her again - on a monthly basis if possible!”
“My boys always love staying with Michael and Regina, and we love knowing that they will have the best time during their stay. They always send tons of pictures, and treat my boys like their own”

“Amazing dog sitter, would highly recommend. You can really tell that she and her husband care and love the dogs so much. So glad and reassured that Miso was in their hands for a week and had so much fun. Would book again for future trips!”
“As always, Karin did an amazing job taking care of our dog Graycie. From daily pictures to even letting her crash a Thanksgiving family photo, she makes sure Graycie is taken care of and loved. We can’t thank you enough!”
“We are so happy we found Sarah and Tobi. Our little Nicolás was so happy with them and quickly adjusted to his stay. Sarah was extremely helpful, understanding and responsible. She treated our baby as if it was hers. Highly recommended! We will book another stay with her for sure! Thank you Sarah!! The Ocasio Wagner Family.”
“David took great care of our dog. I would highly recommend him. He provided updates and sent pictures - this was a nice touch (especially since this was the first time leaving our dog with non-family). We will definitely use his services again in the future.”

“Sam is such an amazing sitter!! I had her watch my cat for a second time. She is so good with my cat, and respects her boundaries while caring for her. She always sends multiple pictures and great updates when she does a drop in. She is also very responsive to messages and requests. If you’re looking for a sitter I definitely recommend reaching out to her!!”
“Sydney and James were so great with our girl! They were really good at communicating, punctual, and made sure to spend time with our kitty while we were away. It gave us such a peace of mind on our trip knowing Ralphie was in such great care!”
“Lauren was awesome with our beloved cat Regan. She was punctual everyday for her drop in visits and spent extra time with Regan. Lauren was very professional. Regan is a senior cat with some health issues. Lauren was very conscientious when monitoring Regan’s medications and administration which helped us feel more comfortable . We will definitely be using her again.”
“Jackie was fantastic - as usual - while watching our cats! She is already there when she said she will be and sends excellent photo updates! We have no worries when we have Jackie watch our cats because we know they will be loved and well fed! Thanks again for everything Jackie!”
“Alexis cared for my cats while I was out of town. One is particularly shy and nervous, and she came out with Alexis which I think says something! She was communicative and easy to plan with!”
“Mary was amazing! She checked in on our two kittens while we were away for a week. We were quite anxious about leaving them and she gave us so much reassurance with lots of updates and photos. The cats were very fond of her and we would absolutely work with her again!”
“Super reliable, even during the crazy snow she still made her way out to take care of my kitties!! And I loved that she spent time petting them and making sure they got attention and felt cared for”
“We had a wonderful experience with Elinor as our cat sitter! She was a great communicator from our initial request through her very last visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away on an extended trip. Our cats don't always come out for strangers, so we were especially happy to see that they warmed up to her enough to come out for treats and even play with her during some of her visits. She sent us cute photos and thoughtful updates each day, which we really appreciated and loved seeing while we were away. Our flight home was unexpectedly delayed, and she was incredibly flexible about adding an extra day with the girls. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter!”
“Stephanie has been taking care of my elderly cat off and on since we moved to the area. He needs 2 medications and I always come home to a happy, healthy cat and a clean house!”
“Emily, took care of our three fur babies, one being a senior cat with daily medication requirements. We had one challenge throughout the week with her phone not being charged but overall, excellent experience. Rover, however having a competent plan of communication in place with their pet sitters totally fails.”
“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!”
“Ellen was wonderful!! We were so grateful to her for checking on our kittyboyes while we were away. She made it a point to check in with us and spend some good time with them, we got some good petting pics so we know they were loved on. She was there for two trips we had back to back. Thanks Ellen, you’re the best!”
“Colleen was super attentive to Frances and her needs, dependable, reliable, friendly, and offers a very competitive rate. I would highly recommend her to amy pet owner. In fact, I have already booked another stay for my cat.”
“Brittany was absolutely amazing with Love! My fur baby was recently diagnosed with kidney disease and I was able to go on vacation knowing that he would be able to get the subcutaneous fluids that he needed. She was very communicative, paid attention to detail, and was able to troubleshoot as things came up. Would absolutely have Brittany take care of Love again in the future.”

“We are so lucky to have found Susan (and Jason)! Nugget had another great day and I’m always so confident he is safe and well cared for while I’m at work. We are grateful to be repeat customers!”

“Abby was amazing with our coonhound and beagle puppy! Exercise is a big thing for him, and she made sure he was well exercised and played with! He had an awesome time!”
“We are visitors to OH and looking for someone to watch our dog Georgia for a day while we bike the tow path and ride the train. Aspen was amazing. She really put us at ease by giving us updates constantly and letti ng us know how our dog was doing. I cannot recommend her enough”
“Makenna was very sweet and took excellent care of Stella. Stella was not stressed out when we picked her up and we can tell that she was very comfortable with Makenna.”

“Samantha is awesome! We are preparing for a long vacation so we wanted our puppy to get to know Samantha a long stay. Onyx came home very tired from playing! Thanks Samantha!”
“Nicole was amazing with Lola! Before Lola’s stay I warned Nicole that she probably won’t eat and doesn’t like to be handled a lot. By the end of the day, Lola trusted her enough to wipe her down and even ate ALL of her food. I was pleasently surprised that Lola trusted her enough after a few hours. Also, Nicole’s 3 dogs are so well behaved and Lola joined the pack in minutes. We now trust Nicole so much so that we feel confident about leaving Lola with her while we go on vacation for 2 weeks!”
“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!”
“Erica is so patient, easy to coordinate with, and goes above and beyond to make sure Lucky has a fun day! She takes photos to send which makes me feel reassured he had a good day with her! thanks for everything! I appreciate it and will reach back out soon!!”
About: I have been walking dogs and pet-sitting for over 10 years now. I started walking dogs around the neighborhood and quickly demonstrated my dependability to clients. Through client word-of-mouth and recommendations, I started pet-sitting overnight. My responsibilities ranged from simple daily walks while clients were traveling to weeklong stays at residences, caring for several pets, watering plants, and doing light housework. I work remotely which allows me to be with your pet all day while sitting! This flexibility also gives me the opportunity for walks during the day and short notice care. I am very active so taking your dog out will be the best part of my day! I will follow any and all instructions you leave me for in-home pet care. I can assure you I will meet and exceed your expectations for pet-sitting. I will care for your pet as if they’re my own!
About: My husband and I own a very sweet, playful Great Dane/mastiff and a pure bred English Mastiff. We have experience with all kinds of dogs and other animals. We have a large finished upstairs where our dog loves to run and play. We have a large backyard that is fully fenced/gated. We walk daily (in nice weather). We have fun toys to play with and a whole room for your dog to sleep in (instead of a cage) but if your dog prefers a cage we have a huge one he can sleep in (or you can bring your own). I stay home so your pet will have plenty of company! We have three young girls who absolutely love playing with dogs. They are gentle and dogs always love them.
“Tom, Tolley and the whole family are awesome. They take great care of my dog, Max. He really enjoys his time with them and I enjoy all the pictures. Thanks, guys!”
“Wubbie seemed like she was right at home! Sarah kept me updated with lots of pictures and daily walk updates! I would love to have Wubbie stay with them again in the future when needed! Thanks so much for taking such good care of Wubbie!”

“Jeffrey is an excellent walker. He takes our dog on long walks and gets him nice and tired. He took the time to meet us first to make sure we felt comfortable with him and always takes the best pictures of our pup as well! Our apartment is a little difficult to access but he has been great working with the staff to get in everyday and we feel comfortable with him in our home. Would highly recommend.”
About: Starting on September 1st, I begin a new job that is from 8am-5:30pm M-F. I've always grown up with animals. I was born into a family with two older dogs, and grew up with 2 family dogs, Maggie & Henry, whom I loved and adored as family. When I moved to graduate school, I adopted two cats, Plum & May. I didn't grow up with cats, but during college up to now I spend time at local animal shelters volunteering and helping to socialize cats where I have time. Currently, I spend my free time trapping, spaying/neutering, and releasing feral cats in my neighborhood to give them better, safer lives. I work an 8-5pm job M-F currently in Cleveland. I am a graduate student, which does mean I am relatively busy, However, I am more than willing to try to fit pet-sitting/walking into my schedule. We can talk more about this if you want to book with me! I always like to get a detailed account of the owner's daily routine with the pet, as well as any medical or physical concerns I should be looking out for. If the client approves, I like to err on the side of reaching out if I have questions or concerns, rather than waiting until they get back. Additionally, having emergency veterinary information is a must, as I am willing to do what is necessary to keep your pet safe.
“Sydney and James were great! We did a meet and greet, and they took such great care of my pup while walking him. It’s nice to have some extra hands during long work days! Thanks guys!”
“Emily is friendly, kind and attentive, and I trust her to take great care of my Artie. She was even kind enough to bring my packages inside when she came over to walk him. I highly recommend booking with Emily.”
“James was very easy going and patient with my puppy Moka. He took her for a nice extended walk, fed her and most of all, allowed her to warm up to him before he took her out.”
About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs and have experience taking care of both. I love to go on runs with dogs and know how to let them get the zoomies out! I also have a cat of my own that I have been taking care of for the past 6 years and am an expert at convincing cats to take their pills! I would love to help your pet out! I am currently a student, so I have a more flexible schedule. I only have 2-4 hours of class per day, depending on the day. I am available weekends, early mornings, after 4 on weekdays, and mid-day every day. I have a cat of my own who has lived happily with other dogs and cats, but will most likely be separated just in case!
“Joe saved the day! Have a chi and Great Dane who is hard to handle. She knocked my husband down three times attempting to chase other dogs. Joe is strong, kind, professional, reliable and knows dogs. So happy with 3x a week walks.”
“Ellen did a great job walking my dog! She was on time, followed instructions, and communicated with me! Quincy had so much fun and is very excited to see Ellen again for another walk!”
About: Ever since I was in middle school, I have volunteered at the food bank, senior homes, elementary schools, preschools, and taking care of pets. I am well-versed in handling numerous conflicts. I am currently a new grad, whose job is summer based and am looking to be busy during the winter and spring months. I will be picking up subbing soon, but that is earlier in the day. I am comfortable with caring for pets however their family see fit. It is always important to keep pets in a routine and to follow instructions. I have no issues with implementing them.
About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking since before I can remember. My family members were all allergic to animals so I was never able to have my own to love and care for. Pet sitting and dog walking was a way to get my animal “fix” without causing any allergic reactions in our household! I also ride horses and have owned and cared for many horses over the past ten years. Currently, I am taking a break from owning a horse but still get to ride occasionally! I do have references available if need be and would be happy to share to whomever is interested. I now have my own dog, Zuri, I rescued her in October 2020! She is the best girl ever and loves her life! I also have fostered for a few different organizations so am well versed in how each dog is different. I love all animals and would love any opportunity to give yours love when you aren’t available to do so! I work from home 4 days a week! So I am able to snuggle and play with the dogs all day! We do several walks a day & utilize enrichment toys. I live in an apartment, it’s big enough to host Zuri and one other dog comfortably. There are a few flights of stairs so would want to make sure your dog is comfortable with that.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and I have an 18 year old pup at home! I’m very passionate about the quality of life for our furry friends, and can’t wait to meet yours! Safety and fun are my main priority. I’m working part time, so I’m looking to fill the gaps in my week with pet care! I can be flexible with scheduling given enough notice. I have an 18 year old dog at home, as well as a 3 year old cat. My animals are spoiled beyond belief, and taken care of diligently.
“Madelyn is so great with Bernie. It was raining earlier today, and Bernie normally won’t go outside. Not only did he go out with her, he went on a long walk. Thank you!”
