“AMAZING!!! First of all even before how amazing these two are - they are right he the airport. About them: I knew my pups were so happy the entire time they were there. I received so many great pictures and little stories about their day. These two were so enthusiastic about loving my dogs and letting me know. Sarah even works from home some days so you know your pups are happy 24/7. My dogs just got home and they are completely passed out so I know they were active and happy. I highly recommend Brendan and Sarah.”
“Stacie and Doug were amazing. My dog has several medications she needs to take throughout the day and she is older. They were wonderful about keeping me updated on her stay with them. It really gave me peace of mind as I was on vacation. I will be booking with them again soon …highly recommend Stacie and Doug.”
“Winston had the best stay! This was my first time ever leaving him, and I was understandably nervous, but I felt completely at ease from the start. There was constant communication throughout his stay, with updates that made me feel confident he was in great hands. He was truly treated like part of their family, not just a dog they were watching. I’m so grateful for the care, attention, and love they showed Winston, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Caroline and Samuel were fantastic with my dog Netty. They were flexible with pick up times and they genuinely care about your dogs well being and happiness. The updates they sent made me smile and reassured Netty was in good hands. Their dog Winnie is adorable and eager to play with your dog any chance she gets! 100% recommend booking with them! Will book again soon. Thank you for a great experience”
“Lynn is the best Rover we ever had. She plays games with her dogs and makes sure to find the best way to get our picky eater to eat. Our dog is very comfortable at her house because she is treated like Lynn's dogs and she fits in with her pack. We get daily updates with pictures and videos and we never have to worry about our dog while we are away.”
“Jennifer went above and beyond when takinf care of Taro. She gave daily updates and photos at the best level I've ever seen on Rover. Taro my dog had a top-notch experience staying with her and her family.”
“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!”
“Eric and Polly are fantastic! They are so caring and Colby loves spending time there! We can go on vacation knowing that he feels at home and that he is in a safe and loving environment.”
“Kathleen was great - Dewey is an anxious pup, but she was able to get him to settle down and be comfortable quickly! She was very communicative and kept us well informed as to how he was doing. We will definitely be using her again!”
“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.”
“Leonard and family took great care of our little Daisy! She made herself at home which was clear from the daily pictures we got while we were away. Communication was amazing and he was patient with our lack of cell coverage while we were on a cruise and our flight delay on the way back. We will definitely book again when needed!”
About: I've been an animal person my entire life. I grew up helping pet-sit the neighborhood dogs, and my family loved a rescue German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix from the time I was 10 (she was 2) until she was 15 - she watched us grow up and even visited my college house. As an adult, my heart belonged to January, a border collie/American Staffordshire terrier mix I brought home in my late 20s after seeing her story on the news. She was an energetic, clever puppy who taught me patience, consistency, and the value of positive training. We had 13 wonderful years together before she passed in November 2025. Losing January left a hole in my routine and my heart, and i'm not quite ready to adopt again - but i've found real joy and healing in caring for other people's pets. I've recently house-sat and hosted dogs, cats, and birds for friends and family, from puppies and kittens to seniors on medications with special needs. That experience, plus a gentle nudge from the people who suggested Rover, is what brings me here. I've used the same trusted vet since I was a kid and know the ropes - comfortable administering medication, contacting the vet, or getting emergency care if needed. Your pet will be loved, watched closely, and cared for like one of my own. I work a hybrid schedule: two days at home (typically Monday and Friday) and three 8-hour days in an Avon Lake office (Tuesday-Thursday). My schedule is flexible and easy to swap these days. I can use my noon lunch break for midday walks, potty breaks, and playtime if you're within 5-10 miles of my location. I’m available in the evenings after work for walks, feeding & visits. I'm also happy to water plants, bring in mail, and handle other small house-sitting tasks. I live in a cozy Lakewood duplex on the first floor with a front yard and porch my dog loved to lounge on (yard stake leash available for safe outdoor time). I already have bowls, beds, leashes, and other supplies, so your pup won't need to travel with a pile of gear. I can board up to two dogs at a time -any size, any friendly mix - but I don't board cats in my home (happy to care for them at yours).
“Abby took extra care with Dallas and gave him lots of love and made sure he got to play in the splash pad during the extra hot days! Thank you Abby for making my pup feel like he got a vacation too!”
“Mike was very welcoming and it was obvious our pups loved the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere of Mike’s house and his demeanor. I highly recommend Mike to watch your dog(s).”

“I'm a longstanding client of Kristi's, and I was grateful that she was able to accommodate me with less than a week's notice, when I had to travel out of town for a funeral. Her Rover Cards are excellent, and she is patient and resourceful with my senior cat.”
“Mitchell is a fantastic sitter and was absolutely amazing with my cat while I was out of town for a few days. I received updates every day of the two of them playing and having fun together. Mitchell is very attentative and goes above and beyond to make sure all of your care instructions are followed. I'll always consider Mitchell for pet sitting with future trips.”
About: My dog growing up was a black lab chow mix, so I work well with energetic dogs and love to run and play with them. I love to be outside and would love to take your dog on a walk/hike with me! I joined Rover to spend time with animals, get some exercise, and help you take care of your furry companions. I am hardworking, reliable, and punctual. I’m currently working hybrid so I’m flexible with dog walking times and my ability to dog sit! My job is 9-5, but I can stop over before/after and on breaks between meetings depending on your dog’s needs! I am flexible to either let your dog out in a fenced-in-backyard or take them on a leashed walk! The length and duration of that walk can be adapted to your dogs’ energy levels!
About: I grew up with dogs my entire life and started watching dogs for family and friends while in college and couldn't have my own. I've enjoyed watching pets for my loved ones and now that I am in a house and working remotely I want to be able to provide my pet care experience to more fur babies. While the majority of my experience is with dogs I've also taken care of cats, fish, anoles, bearded dragons, rabbits, chinchillas, and hedgehogs. I'm open to caring for all sorts of animals and I'm able to be flexible with your needs. I work outside the house part time so when pets are with me they are my first priority and I only accept pets when I know I have enough time to give them all the attention they need. I have caged animals that I let out when I can supervise them so they house is animal proofed and anything potentially harmful is locked away. I have baby gates that can be put up to keep puppies/ elderly dogs from falling down the stairs. My back yard is enclosed on 3 sides by fencing and would be watched and leashed at all times when outside.
“Natalie is amazing I’d recommend to anyone. I have a GSD who is very difficult to walk if you do not know how to handle him, she does great with him on walks, always on time and he loves her!”
“Alexandrea was wonderful with my cat while I was out of town. She kept her well fed and played with her each day. I received several photos each day of my cat happily playing and cuddling with Alexandrea which helped put my mind at ease. I'd use Alexandrea again for future cat sitting services.”
About: With 27 years of cat ownership and more than 30 foster kitties cared for over the past 5 years, I bring deep experience, patience, and love to every cat I meet. I’ve also worked in shelter environments and provided cat sitting for a variety of feline personalities, from cuddly lap cats to independent explorers. I understand that each kitty has unique routines, preferences, and needs, and I make sure every visit provides comfort, care, and companionship. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication, or just a reassuring presence, your cat will be in caring, capable hands.
“Maureen was incredibly attentive and responsive. We were very anxious about leaving Lumi for the first time since we got her, but Maureen made us feel very at ease. She was prompt with communication and sent so many updates! And most importantly, Lumi seemed to have been happy and at ease. Thank you so much for everything Maureen!”
“I found a gem of a cat sitter in Allyce, who came to the rescue when I contacted her with only a few days notice, rearranging her schedule to help. She gave my two cats the best care during my trip, and me peace of mind knowing I could trust her with them my home. She is incredibly thoughtful, thorough, and sweet, and sent me updates throughout the day, assuring me they were being cared for wonderfully. I highly recommend her to any pet parent, and my cats are already looking forward to seeing her again!”

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.
“Today was Oakley’s first time for daycare at Leslie’s and all the dogs hit it off! Leslie is friendly and communicative. Oakley is worn out and I’m happy he had a good day at Leslie’s home.”
“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.”
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!

About: Through years of dog training, fostering, volunteering, and working at a dog daycare, I have interacted with and handled hundreds of dogs in my life. I own Beegan K9, a dog care services company that emphasizes lower volume than other local competitors. My 4000 square-foot facility located at 2080 West 110th street serves as a dog daycare and boarding facility. For daycare, we take on only 12 dogs a day. I am at my facility every weekday from 6am until 6pm. Throughout the morning I handle daily daycare dropoffs and work with my training dogs. In the afternoons, we run small, highly-supervised playgroups. Members of my community trust me to take care of their dogs and I take that responsibility very seriously. Before Beegan K9, I had house sat and fostered dogs for around seven years. I also have three dogs of my own. Working with dogs is an integral part of my life and I take their care very seriously.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up helping care for our family dogs, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I absolutely love animals and truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. A little over a year ago, I got my own puppy, Marty! He’s a Whoodle (Wheaten Terrier/Poodle mix) who just turned one and absolutely loves playing with other dogs. Watching him make new friends has been so much fun, and I’d love to give your dog the same loving, safe, and playful environment. I decided to join Rover because it’s a great way to earn a little extra money while doing something I genuinely enjoy—spending time with dogs! Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a caring companion while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for every step of the way. I work from home full-time, so your pup will have plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. My dog, Marty, gets several walks each day, along with regular potty breaks outside on a lead whenever we’re not out walking. I truly enjoy getting outside with dogs for exercise, playtime, and fresh air, but I’m just as happy relaxing inside for cuddles and downtime. Since I’m home all day, your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive lots of love, attention, and care while they’re with us! I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own! They’ll receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and affection throughout their stay. I make sure dogs get regular walks, frequent potty breaks whenever they need them, fresh water, and lots of opportunities to exercise and have fun. Every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow your routine and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. My goal is to make sure your pup is happy, well cared for, and has a great time while you’re away!
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I've cared for pets for years, helping with walking, feeding, playtime, and overnight stays. I love going on walks and enjoy a good amount of play time. Whether it’s a high energy dog or a senior, I adjust my care to fit their personality. I have a relaxed work from home environment that allows me the flexibility to attend and care for your pet. There will be no lack of attention when they're in my care. I allow dogs the freedom to roam my home and yard as long as they're well mannered. If not, then I have a gated and fenced area for them to roam in.

About: Hi 👋 I have many years of caring for pets, both my own and others. I’m very detail oriented and prioritize safety for your pet and your property. My favorite part of the job is the genuine connections I make with animals and the deep satisfaction I experience helping animals feel cared for and loved until their people return. I have a flexible schedule which allows me to provide detailed safe care for your pets. It also allows me to spend time for walking, playing, and of course hugs.

I'll definitely be reaching out to Mitchell whenever I need a pet sitter.”
About: I have grown up with a dog in my house since I was born. I have taken care of neighbors and friends dogs while they have went on vacation or just out of town for work.

If you are looking to book with me but see my availability is different then what you’re looking for, please still send me a message and I will do my best to accommodate to make it work! Since I am not able to host dogs at my current place of residence, this will allow the dog to feel more comfortable with a stranger coming to take care of them while the owners are away for however long. I will adjust to their routine so they hardly notice the owners are gone. They will receive all the belly rubs and love they could ask for until their owner returns home

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. Ps. I also work night shift so I am okay with late night drop ins and etc!

I’m attentive and gentle, always prioritizing safety and comfort. I respect your home and your pet’s routine, keeping everything consistent, clean, and stress-free while you’re away.
About: I have grown up with and taken care of animals roughly my whole life! Having two cats and two dogs makes caring for animals a daily routine for me. I am also great with caring for kittens and puppies as I have raised all four of my animals since they were little. I have also cared for my own dog’s litter! I’m currently a full time student at the University of Akron & have a ton of time during the summer and holiday seasons to care for any type of animal as needed. I have crate training experience and will be able to crate your pet if needed. I am able to easily adapt to any other security measures as needed.
About: I've had dogs most of my life and continuously in my adult life, including my two current dogs, Luna, a shih tzu mix, and Logan, a pekingese mix. Taking care of dogs has become so ingrained into my daily routine that I can't imagine life without it, and I will offer the same care and consideration when taking care of your dogs. I work from home full-time, with largely flexible windows where I can stop by and walk or care for your dog. My work meetings never run longer than an hour, so I can usually work with your dog's preferred schedule. I am the primary caretaker of my wife and my two dogs, including the daily feeding, walks, letting out, and mess clean up. I'll take care of your dog as if it were my own and treat them with the love and respect they deserve.
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!!
About: Hi! I’m Jaclyn! I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love spending time with them including my sweet pomchi Queequeg who just turned 11! Before getting our pup, my husband and I boarded dogs at our home with Rover and absolutely loved our experience caring for people’s pets. Currently, I live in Cleveland, OH and as a theatre artist I have daytime availability throughout the week. I am looking for dog walking opportunities and also check-in opportunities. Would love to take care of your precious pups! As a freelance artist I typically have availability during the days Mon- Fri and due to my work I have a lot of flexibility as well. Safety will always be a top priority for me. I will always make sure your pet is safe and cared for. I will be sure to communicate with photos and updates so you know your pet is doing ok and can relax.
“Julie did an absolutely fantastic job caring for our dogs when we were on vacation. We so appreciated the updates and pictures and our family reported that she truly went above and beyond to keep our house tidy. She seems to love animals and love our three furry friends. We could not have asked for better and can not recommend Julie highly enough!”

“AMAZING!!! First of all even before how amazing these two are - they are right he the airport. About them: I knew my pups were so happy the entire time they were there. I received so many great pictures and little stories about their day. These two were so enthusiastic about loving my dogs and letting me know. Sarah even works from home some days so you know your pups are happy 24/7. My dogs just got home and they are completely passed out so I know they were active and happy. I highly recommend Brendan and Sarah.”
“Winston had the best stay! This was my first time ever leaving him, and I was understandably nervous, but I felt completely at ease from the start. There was constant communication throughout his stay, with updates that made me feel confident he was in great hands. He was truly treated like part of their family, not just a dog they were watching. I’m so grateful for the care, attention, and love they showed Winston, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Caroline and Samuel were fantastic with my dog Netty. They were flexible with pick up times and they genuinely care about your dogs well being and happiness.

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.”

About: I've been an animal person my entire life. I grew up helping pet-sit the neighborhood dogs, and my family loved a rescue German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix from the time I was 10 (she was 2) until she was 15 - she watched us grow up and even visited my college house. As an adult, my heart belonged to January, a border collie/American Staffordshire terrier mix I brought home in my late 20s after seeing her story on the news. She was an energetic, clever puppy who taught me patience, consistency, and the value of positive training. We had 13 wonderful years together before she passed in November 2025. Losing January left a hole in my routine and my heart, and i'm not quite ready to adopt again - but i've found real joy and healing in caring for other people's pets. I've recently house-sat and hosted dogs, cats, and birds for friends and family, from puppies and kittens to seniors on medications with special needs. That experience, plus a gentle nudge from the people who suggested Rover, is what brings me here. I've used the same trusted vet since I was a kid and know the ropes - comfortable administering medication, contacting the vet, or getting emergency care if needed. Your pet will be loved, watched closely, and cared for like one of my own. I work a hybrid schedule: two days at home (typically Monday and Friday) and three 8-hour days in an Avon Lake office (Tuesday-Thursday). My schedule is flexible and easy to swap these days. I can use my noon lunch break for midday walks, potty breaks, and playtime if you're within 5-10 miles of my location. I’m available in the evenings after work for walks, feeding & visits. I'm also happy to water plants, bring in mail, and handle other small house-sitting tasks. I live in a cozy Lakewood duplex on the first floor with a front yard and porch my dog loved to lounge on (yard stake leash available for safe outdoor time). I already have bowls, beds, leashes, and other supplies, so your pup won't need to travel with a pile of gear. I can board up to two dogs at a time -any size, any friendly mix - but I don't board cats in my home (happy to care for them at yours).
“Mike was very welcoming and it was obvious our pups loved the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere of Mike’s house and his demeanor. I highly recommend Mike to watch your dog(s).”
“Cat was great and very kind with our dogs, and we appreciated the care she gave them. One of the harness was unfortunately completely chewed up and left unusable during the stay. Aside from that, we had a good experience overall. Thank you”
“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.”
“Michael and Regina did a very good job taking care of Addie, even though she never got comfortable being away from us. They were willing to give Addie her daily medication and find a spot for her that made her feel less insecure. Genuinely, very nice people. House spotless and cozy.”
“Malik was an excellent pet sitter with a kind spirit and a welcoming smile. He provided regular updates with pictures and videos of my dog, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. He went above and beyond to help care for my dog, even monitoring and addressing his loose stool from anxiety before drop-off. I highly recommend Malik to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets are family, and I strive to provide the same level of care, attention, and patience that I would want for my own. My background in healthcare has taught me how to be responsible, detail-oriented, and attentive to the unique needs of every individual, skills that translate naturally to pet care. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need patience and consistency to senior dogs who may require a gentler pace and extra attention. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, administering oral medications, reinforcing basic training, or simply providing companionship, I prioritize your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness. I am currently a Master's student in Medical Physiology at Case Western Reserve University, which has helped me develop strong time-management, responsibility, and organizational skills. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals as a balance to my studies. Despite a busy academic schedule, I am very intentional about managing my time and maintaining commitments. Whether it's morning walks, midday drop-in visits, evening care, or weekend sitting, I enjoy incorporating pet care into my routine because it allows me to spend time outdoors and connect with animals while helping pet owners have peace of mind. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet with patience, attentiveness, and compassion. As someone pursuing a career in healthcare, I value reliability, clear communication, and attention to detail, and I bring those same qualities to caring for your furry family members. I am committed to ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any specific preferences or needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and mental stimulation while also keeping their environment clean and safe. If providing care in my own home, I would ensure pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, fresh water, and opportunities for play and rest. My goal is always to make pets feel as relaxed and loved as possible, whether they are in their own home or mine.
“Thomas was great. Our pup had such a great time and he treated him like family. Super responsive and accommodating and sent lots of photos. Will definitely bool Thomas again!”
