“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”
“I can’t recommend Sarah and Brendan enough!! They were so sweet, responsive and took great care of our girl! We loved all the updates and pictures they provided. We will definitely be using them again ??”
“Stacie and Doug are the best! They treated our Westie like the Queen that she is and sent us notes so we could remain connected. We met in advance of our booking to get to know each other and they were very kind when I had some last minute changes to our agenda. Our pup got along very well with their pup and we would recommend them for your pup as well!”
“Summer was an absolutely wonderful sitter for Tycho and Kepler! They stayed with her for 5 days and 4 nights, and we felt completely at ease the entire time. She sent multiple photos each day and kept us updated, which we really appreciated. It was clear from the start that Summer took the time to read our dogs’ Rover profiles. She came prepared with thoughtful questions at drop-off and even reached out when Kepler started chewing on a deer antler, just to double-check with us. That level of attentiveness meant a lot. Tycho and Kepler got tons of playtime with her own pets, including her dog Morty and her cats, and they clearly had a great time. As an added bonus, her son was incredibly sweet with our dogs and spent time cuddling with them, which made their stay even more special. We would absolutely book with Summer again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, and attentive sitter!”
“Karin took great care of our anxious dog, Chester. He seems to have a great time and she took him for great walks. Chester came home happy and tired. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Mitzy always has SO much fun at her home-away-from-home! We know that she’s having a great time and getting taken care of and loved, which makes it so much easier for us when we have to be out of town. Thanks for always taking care of our golden girl!”
“Malik was very sweet and courteous. He's focused on keeping the dogs safe and comfortable, and my dogs came home clean and well cared for. Would gladly recommend him to others and would book with Malik again.”
“Carla and her family are incredible! I was in Cleveland for work and unexpectedly needed a dog sitter She was super helpful and understanding. She took my dog for walks every day, even though she barks at every cat or dog she sees when she’s on walks She sent me videos and updates without me having to even ask. I’ve never had a dog sitter before so I was kind of nervous about texting everyday because I didn’t want to be annoying, she willingly sent me updates and even offered to allow me to come visit when I miss her. I definitely recommend! Five stars”
“Marla is a fantastic dog sitter. She was very professional and so kind to our dog. She was watching him after he had a surgery and was so accommodating to his needs. She kept us updated during the weekend and I constantly felt like Simba was in good hands. You can definitely see her love and care for dogs. We will be rebooking her in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Westley was in good hands with Rachel. I could tell he was comfortable with her from the snuggling pics and happy when he would get the zoomies with her! I didn’t have to worry.”
“We Love Lynn❤️😊❤️🐾❤️🐾 This is the First Time We used Rover Recommended by a Friend We were nervous about leaving “Dakota” for Two Weeks but our Worries went away!!❤️😊🐾 Lynn was very attentive with Dakota very conscientious about “Cody’s” “Well Being” Gave Us Updates Each Day including Both Photos & Videos!! We will definitely use Lynn again!! 👍🏻🐾😊❤️🐾”
“We had a great experience with Chelsea! She was very friendly, easy to communicate with, and took wonderful care of our dog while we were away. We appreciated the updates and could tell our pup was happy and well cared for. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was in good hands. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“We took our little dog to Mariia for the first time. She kept in touch to let us know how she was doing, and we were very happy with the way she cared for her. We will be using her again!”
“Sarah was the best sitter we’ve had- so glad we found her. She sent daily pictures and videos of her playing and walking our pup. He really enjoyed the backyard. She was very attentive to him, we were relieved to know he was in good hands. Sarah was also very understanding and flexible with travel times. Will definitely be using her next time we go out of town.”
About: I was four years old when I began training our family dog. I was home alone for a few hours and crafted a special bond with our purebred Rottweiler named Zeus. Sometimes I get along better with animals than people, probably because my family has always bred dogs and treated them as part of the family. My parents helped me train our multiple dogs as the years went by and the most important lesson I learned was patience and consistency. I will treat your pet as a member of my family! I have a park a block away from my apartment and I love finding creative ways to entertain and teach animals. I can't wait to be a part time parent to your animal! I am very flexible so please don't hesitate to tell me your needs, even if they seem strange! I exercise my pets everyday and ensure they are training consistently. I currently have a flexible schedule so we can work on your needs and scheduling. My home is puppy proof, along with a gate I use to separate the upstairs from downstairs so my cat can have some peace and quiet lol
“Jennifer and her family were fantastic hosts for Blake. They took the time to understand his special needs and quirks and took very good care of him. Thank you!!”
“Eric & Polly were great with Nyx and sent us lots of updates. They were also super responsive. She seemed confortable with them by the time we picked her up. Thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life. I currently have a small Havapoo, but have had big dogs, cats, bunnies, and guinea pigs. I have experience with training, as well as administering medicine if need be. When I first moved away from my family, I was so nervous to try to find care for my pup while I was away! I am so thankful I have had amazing experiences with Rover, and I’m excited for the opportunity to give others an amazing experience, especially those who may be a little weary and nervous like I was at first! I work from home Monday - Friday, and have flexibility on the weekends so your pup will be in great hands with round the clock care! I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly Havapoo that is dying to keep your fur baby company! If staying in my home, I will absolutely follow any special instructions or needs for your dog to make them feel right at home and keep them in their routine. For clients home, I will always make sure I leave the home the way I found it, and of course keep your fur baby in their routine!

“Kristi was amazing. Great communication and pictures the whole visit. She was wonderful with my cat who can be slow to warm up to strangers. I will absolutely be rebooking with her.”
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful, and I am so thankful we found her! She completely eased my anxieties about leaving my two senior, high maintenance dogs for the weekend. It was obvious from the start that she is a true dog person. She followed all of my instructions, communicated clearly, and kept me updated with pictures throughout each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. She was patient, attentive, and more than capable of handling my senior boys and all of their quirks. I truly hope Melissa is willing to watch my pups again in the future because I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Mitchell is my first pet sitter experience and they were fantastic. I requested 30 minute check ins for my 2 (normal) cats and they did just that. They even walked me through the process of handing off keys (very important thing to consider!) When I got home both my cats were chill and happy and getting photos and videos of the cats every day while I'm out camping is just the best thing ever. Good times, I will book again and I recommend Mitchell for your (and your pet's) peace of mind.”
“Maureen was communicative and gave our Lumi the attention she needed while we were away. I'm very grateful for the updates and check ins. Very happy and I feel at ease leaving Lumi under her care”
“Joyce took wonderful care of Smooshie. When I got home later in the day, he was a happy sleepy pug. Joyce was great at communicating during her visit too, which is so important with an older dog. So happy that we met her through Rover!”
About: I would love to babysit your pets while you are away! I welcome pets up to 80 lbs and with affordable pricing and providing in-home and outside care with three day bookings and cancellations in the Cleveland area (up to 25 miles radius) I’m sure to fit your needs. I hope to meet you and your pet soon! Thanks I am currently working 7:00am-3:00pm as an STNA and I’m free any time after and looking for a second job that’s enjoyable and with animals. I have a fenced in yard, crates are available if needed. I also have a 3 year old lab mix who just loves other animals!
“Veronica came to check on our cats while we were out of town. She was great to communicate with and is very professional! She did a great job and would definitely recommend her!”
“I am appreciative of how Andrew looked after my kitten! He explained her check ins with details and the care was clear! He is a great sitter option and I know my kitten was in great hands!”
“We had the pleasure of having Megan care for our two cats during our 12-day trip out of the country, and she was absolutely amazing. She visited twice a day to feed them, clean their litter boxes, and spend quality time playing with them. She even trimmed one of our cat’s nails after noticing them getting stuck while playing! Her dedication and attention to detail gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Plus, the pictures and messages she sent warmed our hearts. What truly stood out was the connection she formed with our cats—especially our younger kitten, who has recently been timid around new people. Megan’s calm and caring nature clearly made them feel safe and loved. She’s truly gifted with cats, and we’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust. We couldn't have taken this trip without her!”
About: I’ve been around cats for as long as I can remember and grew up caring for them since I was little. I have experience with both cats and kittens, including feeding routines, litter box care, baths, playtime, and giving medication when needed. I know every cat has a different personality, so I’m always patient and attentive to what makes them feel comfortable and safe. Whether your cat is super affectionate or more independent, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for and loved while you’re away — plus I love sending cute photo updates throughout the day ♡
“Elizabeth did a fantastic job looking after my cat, Murphy, while I was out of town! She sent regular updates and was very easy to communicate with. Recommend 10/10!”
“Katherine was absolutely amazing like always. My cats love her and she sends great pictures of them when we are away. I’m never worried about them when we are gone because I know she’s taking great care of them.”

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.
“Abby is the best! Mickey loved his stay and feels right at home. Abby is warm and caring and treats Mickey like he is her own. She sent pictures and provided updates. Mickey especially likes playtime in the yard. Abby is fantastic and we will definitely use her again.”
“First experience on this app and it couldn’t have been better! What a great weight lifted knowing my sweet boy was in the best hands. Super attentive from the start and sent pics/updates throughout. Will most definitely be booking again!”
“Maria was great! She was really friendly and our dog enjoyed his stay playing with her pups in the backyard. She sent pictures throughout the day also and kept us updated on our dog. Would highly recommend booking with her.”
“Rose Ann is absolutely amazing - just finished week 2 of dropping off my puppies and tails are at full wag when I drop them off every morning. She updates throughout the day & is very adaptable to your fur babies’ needs! We will of course continue to drop off Charlie & Phoenix to Rose Ann.”
“Jeffany was amazing! We were in need of a rover sitter as our other recently moved, so I'm so grateful to have found Jeffany! Our pup absolutely loved running around in her lovely, spacious backyard with the other pups she was taking care of at the time. Jeffany was super easy to communicate with and sent multiple updates/photos throughout the day which I really appreciated! I would definitely recommend and we will be booking again for sure! :)”
About: I love animals, I have been taking care of dogs for family, neighbors, friends for 3 years. They adapt super well with me. I like to play and spend time with them. At the moment I am working carrying Amazon blocks in the early hours of the morning between 3 am and 7 am. I am available full-time to take care of your puppy. I live in an apartment, it has a special park for dogs where I can take them out several times a day, I can play with them, and comb them and even bathe them if you want. How much with a very comfortable environment I have a bed for your pet, feeder, etc.

“Julie was great! She took my last minute request with no question, allowed me to come early in the morning before work, sent me pictures through the day, and kept Margo busy! We hope to use Julie again!”
About: I’ve always taken care of animals my whole life. From dogs,cats,chickens to small critters. I love having fun with animals as of playing, walks and teaching new tricks! I’m currently free 7 days a week. My calendar is always up to date! If it’s green I’m free! If you ever need to drop off a day ahead or even have your pet stay an extra day do to some issues I WON’T charge an extra fee I understand life always throws things at us. I care for pets in my home like they are my own children. I love playing and spending time with pets and animals I love to spoil other people’s pets as they are my own I do have a closed in fence and is shaded so when pets are out there there is no problem with the sun. If your dog, doesn’t get along with other dogs please let me know because sometimes I do have another dog already in my care and my number one priority is to always make sure all animals are safe. I love to send you pet home with goodies such as toys, treats, blankets or whatever I have free for them!
“Roselie and Kevin watched my dog for the day while I was in Cleveland on vacation. They were flexible with times and were able to watch him on short notice. I know he had a good day because he fell asleep right when we got in the car! I would highly recommend them for dog care.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, and providing a calm, nurturing environment for them comes naturally to me. I understand the rhythms, personalities, and emotional needs of pets at every stage. My care is gentle, attentive, and rooted in years of true experience. I manage a small Airbnb business and am only away for a couple of hours on weekends to handle cleanings. The rest of my time is spent at home with my gentle 4-pound dog, who is friendly and easygoing. This creates a calm, stable environment where pets receive consistent attention and very minimal alone time. My home is quiet, tidy, and set up to give pets a safe and comfortable experience. I maintain a predictable rhythm throughout the day and adjust to whatever helps your pet feel their best — whether that’s playtime, cuddles, quiet rest, or simply being close by. I also have a fully fenced-in backyard where pets can enjoy fresh air and supervised outdoor time. I pay attention to the small details so your pet feels cared for, understood, and at home.
About: Hi! I’m Erica. I work from home, so your pet won’t be sitting alone all day while you’re away. Whether they need walks, playtime, couch time, or just someone around, I’ll be there to keep them company. I’m reliable, easygoing, and a big animal lover. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets for years, and I know how important it is to find someone you feel comfortable leaving them with. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own, stick to their routine, and send plenty of photos and updates along the way. I know leaving a pet can be stressful, so I want you to feel confident they’re in good hands. I work from home full time, so my schedule is pretty pet friendly. Whether your pet is staying with me, needs a drop in visit, a walk, or overnight care, I have flexibility throughout the day and can usually work around their normal routine. Since I’m home most of the time, pets staying with me get plenty of attention, company, and potty breaks instead of being left alone all day. My evenings and weekends are also wide open, which gives me even more time to spend with them. I take pet care seriously and know that trust is a huge part of leaving your pet with someone new. I always follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, walk preferences, and any other routines that help your pet feel comfortable and secure. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on pets staying with me throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I pay attention to the little things, like changes in appetite, energy levels, or behavior, and I’ll always reach out if something seems off. I want pets to feel safe, relaxed, and at home while they’re with me. Whether they need extra exercise, extra patience, or just someone nearby while they nap, I’ll do my best to make sure they’re comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is being well cared for.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for years, including overnight stays and quick drop-ins for potty breaks. I have experience with different routines and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m also a pet owner myself—I have three cats and a mini goldendoodle who loves to play! I got into dog sitting because we had taken our dog to be boarded before and were very unhappy with the lack of care and love she received when she was boarded. I wanted to make sure other families didn’t have that experience as well. We have a fully fenced-in backyard, so there’s plenty of safe space for dogs to run, play, and get their energy out. My daily routine is already built around structure, consistency, and caregiving, so pet care fits in seamlessly. I’m used to following schedules, whether that’s for feeding times, potty breaks, walks, or playtime. I make time for walks, outdoor play in my fenced-in yard, and plenty of attention and care. Throughout the day, I’m organized and responsive, making it easy to prioritize pets’ needs and stick to their normal routines. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and it naturally fits into my day just like caring for my own pets. I care for pets in my home by creating a safe, comfortable, and structured environment where they can feel at ease. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions. Pets have access to my fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play and exercise, and I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day. I also keep a clean and pet-friendly space, ensuring water is always fresh and that pets are monitored closely during interactions. With my experience caring for animals and my own pets at home, I understand how important it is for them to feel secure, loved, and part of the family while you’re away.
“Thanks Joe!!! You are just amazing with Reagan and so appreciate you. Ring able to take her on short notice. We trust you completely with our furry kids and home!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 12. When I got into the job field it all had to do with animals. I gained experience with Administering medicine and creams. I also gain experience in CPR for cats, dogs, and birds. I used to work for a boarding agency so the daily animal necessities will all be met. I currently have a 6 month puppy his name is dudah he is a doodle mix. He is always with me. He is a bundle of energy and fluff. He works well with other animals his favorite are turtles. Your pup will be outside every two hours for a 30 minute walk. If they have a specific schedule let me know and I will work with it the best I can. I offer multiple other offers just ask! I currently go to school at CSU as a pre-vet. That used to take up most of my time but since summer is starting I have a bunch of free time. I do plan on working but only for two days a week. So I am always free to take care of a pup needed. Your pet will be taken care of just as you take care of them. Let me know how and specific routines you may give your pet and I will follow. If not I'll treat them as if my own they will go out every two hours and be fed three times a day. I also like taking my pup out for pup cups on Fridays so if your dog is not allowed please let me know. Your dog will not be fed dry dog food by default.I like to give fresh food to dog made for dogs. If this is not a preference please let me know I do have dry dog food for that reason.

About: I’ve taken care of animals most of my life and truly love being around them. I’m experienced with different pets and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m reliable, patient and will treat your pet as if it were my own. Flexible schedule with plenty of time for visits, feeding, and play. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and can adjust times to fit your cat’s routine and needs. I’m attentive and gentle, always prioritizing safety and comfort.

“I recently changed jobs and needed someone to walk my anxious dog while I’m working. Natalie has been phenomenal. She’s professional and responsive, she sends pictures and details, and my dog trusted her from the beginning. I’m very pleased with the arrangement.”
About: Ive been caring for dogs my whole life with my family animals and also pet sitting for friends. Im very comfortable with all breeds! Im your girl for long walks or extra snuggles. I recently moved to Ohio from Oregon and am looking to fill my free time meeting new furry friends and getting to know the area with long walks with your dogs or traveling to new neighborhoods to care for your pets. I will care for your pet however you instruct me to. My goal is to make them feel as comfortable and loved as possible while you're away!
“Andrew is the absolute best! Very communicative, professional, and kind. My baby girl Captain loves her time with him. We have truly hit the jackpot with him!”
“Elizabeth just started walking Lucy for us. I wish I would have done this sooner. She is great! She takes lots of pictures and she also left a little gift and treats for her. I highly recommend Elizabeth!”
About: Dogs have honestly always been a huge part of my life, so caring for them feels really natural to me. Between growing up around dogs and now raising my own puppy, I’m used to the chaos, energy, routines, and all the little personalities that come with them. I’m comfortable with everything from walks and potty breaks to baths, playtime, crate routines, and helping reinforce good habits. I love getting to know each dog individually — whether they’re super energetic, clingy, goofy, or more laid-back. My goal is always to make them feel comfortable, loved, and like they’re just hanging out with someone they already know and trust ♡ My schedule is pretty flexible right now! I’m currently interning Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 10am–6pm, but I’m available mornings, evenings, and overnight care on those days if needed. Wednesdays and weekends are the most open in my schedule, so I have plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention throughout the day ♡ Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my biggest priority. During walks, I’m very attentive to surroundings, leash safety, and making sure pets stay comfortable and secure at all times. For in-home drop-ins, I do my best to keep pets relaxed by following their normal routine and giving them lots of care, attention, and patience in their own environment. I’m respectful of both your home and your pet’s boundaries, and I always make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away ♡
“Colleen always goes above and beyond for Mowgli! She is sure to be on time and give plenty of pictures and videos. She is so sweet with Mowgli and was so patient with him while he was getting comfortable with her at first. Mowgli is very lucky to have someone like Colleen available on days when I am not able to let him out. It’s so nice to know he is in great hands :)”
About: Adult cat owner for a year and a lifetime of pet care and sitting experience. I work remotely in communications and marketing, so I have open availability and am very flexible with my time and attention. I’ve been an in-house sitter and dog walker for many friends over the last several years and have lots of experience with senior pets and anxious dogs. I work from home, fully remote, so I’m very flexible! Most of my job involves on-screen virtual meetings, writing and phone interviews so I’m happy to break up my day with walks, cuddles, snuggles and play time! I have an indoor-only cat who loves playtime and cuddling, but I also have experience sitting for anxious dogs and senior pets. I’m patient, calm and caring, and happy to sit with them, walk them or play indoor and outdoor.
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind for a few years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I'm currently working but I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 6 pm. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog or mine if needed.
About: I grew up with a variety of dogs, from my first dog, a Boxer named Sky, when I was 9 years old, to Shih Tzus and a Boston Terrier in my teen and college years. I've loved every one of them for their unique personalities and am proudly a dog person! Aside from family dogs, I have dog sat for friends and family for over 10 years and fall in love with each one as if they're my own. I now own a 2.5 year old Boston Terrier named Becks, who loves a good morning walk (or a good lay in the grass while I stand there 🤪). I no longer pet sit, but would love to care for your dogs throughout the day to give you a helping hand! I work from home as a freelancer and am available to shift my schedule throughout the workday. I have my own car and am able to travel anywhere on the west side to check in on your pup and give them a nice break outside! I have worked as a pet sitter both in my home and client's homes. I will be responsible when entering your home, letting your dogs out, and will make sure to communicate in a timely manner throughout the process.
“Emily has been great to work with! She has been willing to work with my varied schedule and has even come on short notice which is greatly appreciated! Since booking with Emily I have not had to look for another walker!”
“Makenna was tasked with walking my very energetic, young, German Shepherd. She did not disappoint! My dog seemed to love walking with her, and Makenna has been very respectful, patient, and loving to my dog even though they just met! Makenna follows instructions to a T, is very thorough with providing me with updates, and has the utmost respect to your property and your pet! If Makenna can handle the energy of my dog, and provide it with good mid day safe exercise, she can do it for any dog. I would highly recommend Makenna for anyone’s pet care needs!”
About: I’m a dog mom to three rescues (a dachshund, pit mix, and Great Pyrenees/Shepherd mix) so I’m very comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve also volunteered at City Dogs for the past year, which has given me experience with dogs of all temperaments, including anxious and high energy pups. I previously cared for a senior rescue dog, so I understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attention they need. I’m also a nurse, which means I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and very attentive to safety and well-being. I also have a 14-year-old cat at home, so I’m comfortable caring for cats and understand their unique personalities, routines, and needs. I treat every dog like my own and focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine! I work part-time as a nurse four days a week and am typically home by around 2pm. This allows me to be available for afternoon walks, evening drop ins, and most weekends, plus I have one weekday fully open each week. For house sitting, the longest I’m away from your home is about 8 hours (including my commute), and I always prioritize making sure pets are comfortable, safe, and well cared for while I’m there. I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay in the environment they know and feel most comfortable in. I do my best to stick closely to their usual routines so everything feels familiar and low stress. I’m very mindful of safety, whether that’s being aware on walks, keeping doors and gates secure, or making sure pets are always supervised. I follow all care instructions carefully and treat your home and pets with the same respect I would my own. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing!!
“Tyler is literally amazing! First off me and my boyfriend messed up the key situation so Tyler can help us with our puppy and Tyler drove all the way to my job to come get my keys to still help us with our puppy! Tyler left us notes of our puppies time with Tyler and helped clean up any messes our puppy made, he very communicative and helpful!”
“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.”
“The harness Olesja recommended has been such a game changer for Otter’s walks and now we are working on containing his excitement when she arrives and tries to put it on him 😅 Otter is over the moon happy each time Olesja comes and his manners and socialization are coming along so well (apart from breaking into a bag of treats this week, which Olesja kindly cleaned up!)”
About: I've had a dog just about all of my life. I grew up in a household that was a dog family and we all took responsibility for feeding, walking, and entertaining. I've continued my love for dogs into adulthood and have always had my own. I'm currently working part time and I'm a full time student. I walk my dog every day or run her for some exercise for the both of us. I spend a lot of time with my dog so we would love to spend some time with yours too! In my home Millie gets to run around freely when I'm home but does get crated when I leave, which she likes that and it is her safe space. I have a partially fenced in backyard for the dogs to run around in which makes for a great space for play time!
About: Grew up in my childhood home with dogs. I have been around them my whole life. I have dog sat for friends and family when out of town. When taking care of others fur babies, I like to focus on the routine that’s been build and go based on that. I currently am a full time lab technican and has the weather gets warmer, I enjoy going on strolls in the evening after work and on my days off. I figured having a fur buddy for company would be a great way to spend my time. I usually have three days off a week so I’m flexible. When dog walking I would prefer to stay in the community of the client. If extra care is needed such as playing or feeding while client is out or busy, I would not mind at all.

“Malik was very sweet and courteous. He's focused on keeping the dogs safe and comfortable, and my dogs came home clean and well cared for. Would gladly recommend him to others and would book with Malik again.”
“Carla and her family are incredible! I was in Cleveland for work and unexpectedly needed a dog sitter She was super helpful and understanding. She took my dog for walks every day, even though she barks at every cat or dog she sees when she’s on walks She sent me videos and updates without me having to even ask. I’ve never had a dog sitter before so I was kind of nervous about texting everyday because I didn’t want to be annoying, she willingly sent me updates and even offered to allow me to come visit when I miss her. I definitely recommend! Five stars”
“Marla is a fantastic dog sitter. She was very professional and so kind to our dog. She was watching him after he had a surgery and was so accommodating to his needs. She kept us updated during the weekend and I constantly felt like Simba was in good hands. You can definitely see her love and care for dogs. We will be rebooking her in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Westley was in good hands with Rachel. I could tell he was comfortable with her from the snuggling pics and happy when he would get the zoomies with her! I didn’t have to worry.”
“Sarah was the best sitter we’ve had- so glad we found her. She sent daily pictures and videos of her playing and walking our pup. He really enjoyed the backyard. She was very attentive to him, we were relieved to know he was in good hands. Sarah was also very understanding and flexible with travel times. Will definitely be using her next time we go out of town.”
About: I was four years old when I began training our family dog. I was home alone for a few hours and crafted a special bond with our purebred Rottweiler named Zeus. Sometimes I get along better with animals than people, probably because my family has always bred dogs and treated them as part of the family. My parents helped me train our multiple dogs as the years went by and the most important lesson I learned was patience and consistency. I will treat your pet as a member of my family! I have a park a block away from my apartment and I love finding creative ways to entertain and teach animals. I can't wait to be a part time parent to your animal! I am very flexible so please don't hesitate to tell me your needs, even if they seem strange! I exercise my pets everyday and ensure they are training consistently. I currently have a flexible schedule so we can work on your needs and scheduling. My home is puppy proof, along with a gate I use to separate the upstairs from downstairs so my cat can have some peace and quiet lol
“Shannon and Robert were absolutely wonderful! Their family is so kind, and their children were great with Henry. He settled in right away and honestly didn’t seem like he wanted to leave when we picked him up. They kept him active all day, so he came home happy and completely worn out (in the best way!). We’d absolutely trust them with Henry again and look forward to booking with them in the future.”
“Gareth was amazing!! I was nervous about boarding my dog as it was my first River experience, but it was such a breeze. I got constant communication, his dog Millie played with mine the whole time, and it made me feel so much better about traveling for the first time without the pup. Will absolutely ask them to sit again!!”
“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!”
“Leonard and his family were wonderful, they sent pictures multiple times a day and treated my pup as if he were their own! Thank you so much!!!! Will book with again.”
“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!”
“Katherine was so great with Kylo! She sent lots or pictures and updated us throughout the stay. He had plenty of playtime and outdoor space to burn energy, would definitely recommend!”
“Lea was great with our boys! We asked her to watch them during Thanksgiving weekend and she gladly accepted our request. I was pretty nervous because our dogs have never been around children for long periods of time but she sent the most ADORABLE pictures f our dogs hanging with her two younger boys and my heart almost burst. Our boys came back exhausted so you know they had a great time playing with them. She's very accommodating with whatever we needed to feel comfortable with a first-time sitter and we will DEFINITELY be calling her again!”
“Thankyou Michael & Regina for always taking the best care of my fur babies. I can never say enough about how well my boys are treated when they come to stay. I can rest assured that I know that my pups are safe, happy and getting all of the attention and affection while staying.”
