“Maddie was great for our first experience using Rover. We have a 10 month old pup that we weren't comfortable boarding while on vacation. We utilized Maddie for deop in services to feed, walk and spend some time with our guy. She was very responsive from my initial message. We did a meet and greet several days before. She followed up with notes she had taken during that meeting to ensure she understood expectations and that we were on the same page. During her times with Joey she provided several pictures and a detailed summary of their time together for each visit. Maddie will.be the first person I reach out to should we need further services in the future. I highly recommend her to assist with anything you may need for your own pet.”
About: Growing up on a 5-acre farm, I've raised all types of animals from cats to dogs or even pigs and horses. I have experience with shepherd dogs, pugs and bulldogs, st. Bernards and rottweilers, elderly pets, puppies and kittens, nursing and pregnant mamas, and so on! I also have taken care of horses, dogs, cats, and ferrets when house-sitting. My schedule is very flexible. My job requires time out of the office multiple times a day and I can always check in for a potty break. My evenings and weekends are always clear and if something comes up, I always communicate and have a back up plan. When I am taking care of your pet in your home, I will prioritize your family’s specific needs and respect any rules you have in place.

“Our dog can be nervous around new people, but Laken got down on the floor with her and snuggled to make her comfortable. She had her two small dogs who played well with ours. She has a fenced yard and our dog enjoyed running around. We felt like she received good care and looked very comfortable when we picked her up.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. My life has revolved around caring for my own dogs. I have one senior dog & he'd like to make new friends. I work full time from home. I lost my female in February. I have a senior lab mix who would like company & i would like more interaction with dogs. My husband works part time from home. We have a nice yard for play time. I have a senior lab mix & he was trained on an underground fence . The yard is partially fenced in. It's a great space for play time
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, from dogs to cats, and even smaller pets like rabbits and hamsters. Whether it's walking, feeding, playing, or giving medication, I treat every animal like they're my own. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to care for their pets when they’re away, and I genuinely love every second of it. From energetic puppies to sweet seniors, I’ve handled it all with love and patience I’m going to start police academy soon but I’ll still be extremely flexible! I can provide care throughout the day, whether it’s morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening cuddles. Weekends are open too. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I always make time for play, walks, and one-on-one attention. I have a fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for safe outdoor time. Inside, I keep a calm, clean, and pet-friendly space with no hazards. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I follow your routine closely and keep communication open with updates and photos. I understand how important trust is, and I treat each pet like family. Crating is no problem if preferred, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions you have.
About: I care for ONE pet family at a time, giving your fur kiddos undivided attention! I work from home and have a secure, fenced in yard. My goal is for your pet to feel safe and loved while you’re away. A mutual stress relief, hanging with your pet is the best part of my day! I work from home full time, and provide frequent potty and sunshine breaks. I am available between 745am - 830pm for pickups and drop offs. My home is designed with pets in mind — safe, calm, and full of love. I live in a clean, cozy space where cats and pups can explore, nap, and get comfy. I’m mindful of every detail, from secure doors and windows to quiet corners for shy or senior pets. My own two friendly cats are used to sharing their space and love making new friends, but I can easily provide separation if your pet prefers solo time. I follow feeding and medication schedules carefully and keep a close eye on every guest’s comfort and well-being. You can expect regular updates and photos, so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and cared for as if they were my own.
“Michele is a very kind, animal loving, and extremely knowledgeable on pet care. With two days of day care in her home, my rescue puppy now is much more confident than she was before meeting Michele. She got plenty of exercise and attention!”
“Bronzy absolutely loves Barkwatch and so do I. He has been with them since the beginning. The care they provide for us is that of extended family. I really don’t trust him with anyone else. Not only do they provide great service but accommodating and knowledgeable when I comes to my fur baby.”
About: Hi!! I have a deep love for dogs and have grown up with them my whole life of all ages! I got my first dog in high school and was I was 100% responsible for her and raised her from a puppy until she was 4 years old until I had to go to college and couldn’t bring her with me. I miss her so much so I thought this is a great way to fill that void! I have experience with different breeds as well, and I have dog sat for some of my friends and family in the past! I am currently taking summer classes and I have a very free schedule with only being out of the house for 1-2 hours a day. I have a very pet friendly home with a large couch where your pup could hangout on and take a nap! I can easily put the dog in their crate or just let them hangout on the couch if you’d like!
“Mary was fantastic and took such good care of Archie! He played HARD with another puppy there and slept like a baby when he got home. He had so much fun! Thank you for watching him!”
“Extremely reliable & so attentive to the needs of my dog and accommodating our busy life!! I’m endlessly grateful for her and her adorable daughter. They’re our number one go to for dog care in Ohio!!”
“Thomas took great care of my pup and he had a great time. Thomas sent plenty of updates and was very communicative and quick to respond. I could tell when I picked my dog up that he had not felt stressed or anxious, which is a huge relief.”
About: Hi! I am a pet owner and enthusiast. Since I am a professor, I work from home and have a lot of free time in summers and holidays to hang out with your wonderful dog. I love getting to know a pet’s wants, anticipate their anxieties, and most importantly play! My work requires me to be on-site part time, so I am quite flexible for overnight stays, extra long walks, and boarding at my place with my sheltie Flora. I have a two bedroom apartment with my sweet, spayed sheltie Flora who loves to play and take naps. I am quite active so I would be happy to take your dog on long epic walks.

About: Since I was a teenager, neighbors, friends and colleagues have often asked me to watch dogs while they are away. Then walking dogs helped me get through graduate school and now I want to keep it going even as I work as a counselor! I am licensed professional counselor, but when I don’t have a client, I am completely open for things such as watching or walking your pets! I can easily fit that into my schedule. I am a quick learned and will do anything to make sure your pets get to know me and are comfortable! You share how you prefer things to be done and I’ll follow that to a T.

About: I have grown up with dogs all of my life anywhere from a German Shepard to a Dachshund. I understand the importance of trusting and depending on those who care for your loved ones (because dogs are a part of the family too). I love long walks around the neighborhood and ensuring each dog is cared for specifically tailored to their needs and owners preference. Would love a dog of my own however living vicariously through my clients and supporting them in their care of their animals is the next best thing! Flexible on the weekends and mornings/evenings during the week. Caring for animals is just as much a stress reliever for me as it is for them and their owners. Can’t wait to help! I am flexible in availability and capacity for the client needs. I can be adaptive contingent on environment, medical and ability considerations of the animal(s).

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who has been surrounded by pets my entire life. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and other small animals, and I currently share my home with two reptiles. I also had the privilege of caring for my two senior dogs through their golden years, giving me firsthand experience with the patience, compassion, and extra attention that older pets often need. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I strive to provide care that's tailored to their individual needs. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, overnight care, or simply some extra companionship while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, enrichment, cuddles (when welcomed!), and basic medication administration if needed. I'm currently a Ph.D. student with a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. I understand how important consistency is, so I'll do my best to maintain your pet's normal routine while keeping you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. I know how much our pets mean to us because they've always been family to me. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am a PhD student with flexible work hours and I own my car, so I have time to devote to caring for animals when they need it. I follow instructions to a T and enjoy working with all kinds of dogs/cats/other. My schedule allows me to visit when I am needed by the owner. During visits, I'll make sure your pet has fresh water, meals on schedule, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I'll also keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or health and will contact you immediately if I notice anything concerning. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I believe communication is key, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and messages while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving the same level of care and attention I'd want for my own animals.

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and have frequently pet sat for my family and friends. I am a dog and cat lover and I enjoy taking care of many different animals! I am a college student who is home for the summer, and currently trying to make a bit of extra money. For the most part, I have open availability! I can take your pets on a walk around your neighborhood, and I am able to crate your pets if need be. My two dogs have a fenced in yard to play in and I can take them outside in our backyard frequently.

“I love my puppies more than anything, so naturally I don't trust just anyone to care for them. So I panicked when I had to go to a convention in Las Vegas. That's when a friend recommended Rover. Thankfully, out of the multitude of people on Rover, I found Emily. She, and her husband, have been truly wonderful in every respect. They took excellent care of my puppies, fed them on time, took them on walks, have them plenty of toys and stimulation, and sent amazing pics regularly. I couldn't ask for better people to watch my dogs. I'll certainly be working with them again for my dog watching needs. Thank you very much for everything Emily!”
