Highly-rated overnight sitters - Copley
“We feel so fortunate to have found Mark and Vicki. They loved our Heidi almost as much as we do! We appreciated that they only keep small dogs, and while Heidi was there, she had the company of another of their small dog regulars for a few days. We appreciated the many pictures Mark and Vicki sent along with notes about Heidi's visit, every morning and evening. We even felt like they would miss Heidi when we took her home! She even slept on their bed--just like home :). They interviewed us thoroughly and were careful to follow Heidi's routines as far as walks and feeding and snuggling were concerned. Thank you, Mark and Vicki. We will definitely call you the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Danielle and her kids were terrific. We were nervous as this was the first time Brownie stayed over night with someone but we felt comfortable after meet and greet. She communicated daily when our fur baby stayed with her for the weekend and put our minds at ease. Brownie loved running in back yard and making new friends. We will definitely call her back”
“Such a great experience all together!! Had many updates and pictures! Great communication! Great family! Louis had such a wonderful time! Thank you so much! (:”
“We’ve done Rover a lot and never had a sitter so dedicated. We got reports each day and many days she took our pup on an adventure, dog park, pup cup, walks, etc. She clearly takes this job seriously and we appreciated it for our senior pup that gets stressed easily. We were gone a long time and he did great!”
“Awesome as always. The perfect, loving, low key environment for our golden Ellie. Susan and Doug are serious about doing the best for our baby. So many pics of Ellie smiling with toys , on walks, getting cuddles. I told DH that I thought Ellie wasn’t going to want to come home with us. Totally comfortable leaving Ellie there.”
“Sydney is a great communicator and stays in touch often ensuring the safety, love and care of your pet. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. I was at ease knowing that she communicated so well and also was able to identify potential habits that may be developing. This was the best process for us and so glad we chose this route vs boarding him. Thank you for all your understanding and patience with our baby boy.”
“Jenna did a great job taking care of Monte for the weekend. The photo shoot she did with him was super cute too. Looks like he had a blast on his doggy sleep over. Thank you again!”
“My 16 year old Chihuahua Molly had a wonderful stay with Anita and her family. Her dog, Fern, is sweet and mellow and quickly became Molly's BFF. Anita is patient and positive in dealing with older doggy issues. We really appreciate that Molly has such a comfortable place to stay when we are out of town. :)”
“Jessica kept our dog Leif while we were on vacation and made him so comfortable. She was very responsive and sent us regular updates with pictures and videos to make us feel comfortable! She also did drop in visits with our cats and was great to work with.”
About: All K9 Solutions is fully insured and licensed here in Akron OH. I've been training dogs for 6 years and professionally for 4 years. After I worked for reputable training companies, one here in Akron area as the head trainer, I decided to open my own company called All K9 Solutions. I grew up with dogs, and have experience with cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, chickens, and ducks as I used to manage a farm as well. I personally network all over the US with other dog trainers. One of my recent travels has been to Kansas to help host a working dog workshop with a few small departments. I have two Belgian malinois who I strive for their needs to be met daily. From mental stimulation to physical stimulation while giving them a “job”. My youngest is 3 years old and does many sports (PSA, AKC sports, and has been dabbling in odor work), and my oldest is 10, he’s a retired military explosives K9 who served on the boarder of Jordan up until 7 years old. Both the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. All of my dogs have off leash obedience training that is kept up with. I have a background in dog training, boarding, and daycare; from puppies all the way to seniors. I strive for knowledge with dogs as there’s always new information to learn and dogs aren’t cookie cutter. I’m also an STSK9 MVP student for advanced obedience. I’m very passionate about teaching others about dogs from genetics and breeds to how their psychology works. My business hours run from 7am-10pm. My availability is open from the afternoon to night time, this way all morning routines are completed, walks, potty breaks, feeding, training sessions etc. All dogs are boarded in a home environment instead of a facility. This way your dogs aren’t as stressed being away from you, and they can comfortably enjoy their vacation too. All dogs are kenneled to ensure safety (not investing anything they shouldn’t, no free roam 24/7 with other client’s dogs you don’t know, and they have their own space to decompress). Since the yard isn't fenced in, all dogs must be leashed with a properly fitted collar with a longline when going outside, a harness, or a slip lead. However, a good peaceful walk with all the smells is always more mental and physical stimulation for the dogs than a fenced in area with limited access. Reactive dogs and fearful dogs are welcome as I have years of experience with them, and training them to grow confidence and obedience. I also have experience with special need's animals. Loud dogs are welcome too. If your dog(s) show healthy body language and do well with other dogs, my two malinois are gentle beings and always love a play mate. Minka especially, she follows the other dog's pace and reads their body language. I do ask that you leave your vet information with me and emergency vet information as well for an emergency contact if ever need be. Better safe than sorry. I also do ask for a second choice of contact incase the primary owner is unable to be reached. All dogs must be up to date on vaccines and bordetella for boarding and daycare. Safety precautions are always taken. For the well being of the dogs and myself. Please note that I do require all important behaviors are made aware of by the owners before hand and I will notify owners upon any concern of sickness or bite risks. I send updates each day as well or will add photos to your rover card.
“Darlene was great, she send a nice picture and said Daisy was good and this was the first time I use rover and I will do Darlene again. I was very happy with her, it’s was a wonderful experience!”
“Heather was friendly and easy-going. She updated us with pictures and a short summary of how our dog was doing. When we picked him up she said he was a "perfect house guest".”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I can remember. Started with having my own pets as a child and raising orphan wildlife, then moving on to a carrier in veterinary. I’ve been working as licensed veterinary technician since 2009 and going strong. I still work part time at a clinic but spending more time at home now to raise my family. I am very comfortable with medical needs, including injections, and hold a special place in my heart for the elderly pets. I do still work part time at a vet clinic, but half days so your kiddos wouldn’t be going long periods without potty breaks and attention. I have a large fenced in yard that has direct access from the walkout basement where boarding pets stay. Your kiddo will be treated as one of the family, playing out in the yard and a lot of Netflix and chill on the couch. While I do have 2 dogs of my own, they will be kept separated from any boarding pets. We are surrounded by woods and wildlife so rabies vaccine and flea/tick prevention is a requirement to stay in our home.
“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the wonderful care you provided for my dog, Luna! From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in great hands. You took the time to understand her personality and needs, which made all the difference. Luna had an absolute blast during her day with you! Thank you once again for giving Luna such a wonderful day. I will definitely be reaching out for future dog-sitting needs, and I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter!”
About: I foster for our local pet rescue and do well socializing pups and adult dogs who are child friendly. Avid walker with clean, comfortable home. I work from home daily so unless I’m at a client visit, you can expect 24/7 care. Can help over nights and weekends for traveling. I have a lead in the back yard for potty breaks, access to local metro park for long walks, stair gates and a pen for crating.
“Megan and her family were wonderful!! My pup Zoey seemed to have a great time and is wore out from all the fun! She got to play with Megan's two sons, their dog, neighbor kids, went on walks, and tagged along doing errands for the car ride! Thanks so so much for caring for our girl, Megan!”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Kim!! She was the perfect fit for my 8yr old Mal-Shi, Ella. She took such good care of my anxious little girl, giving her lots of love & comfort, as well as paying attention to the details of her care. She absolutely treated her like the queen that she is.”
“My original sitter canceled the morning before my trip. I was frantically trying to find a new sitter and Kathleen let me book quickly without hesitation. I am so thankful for that! I recieved messages and pictures while away and I could tell Myles had a great time and was well taken care of. Thanks again!!”
“Our little Brutus was well-cared for at Ramona’s home. She got him to eat (he can be finicky) and sent us pictures every day of him snuggling up with her. We’ll definitely book again!”

“Becky made fast friends with our cat, provided a thorough description of each visit (with multiple photos), and really put us at ease while we were away. She gave treats, lots of lovies, scooped litter, and even brought our packages in for us. We highly recommend her and hope to schedule with her again!”
“Taylor was so great with my Cleo! She was available on short notice and was willing to meet us prior to going away for a few days. I was really worried how Cleo would react, he is an older dog and protective, but she handled him so very well! Thank so much Taylor! I will be reaching out again!”
“I would definitely book Erin again and recommend her to anyone looking for a good cat sitter! Erin was responsive, followed all instructions, and my cats loved her! I especially appreciate it since my booking was so last minute and I wasn’t able to prepare as much as I usually do.”
“We knew our cat would be lonely in our absence, but we were reassured that Monica gave her the attention she needed, playing with her as well as attending to her basic needs. We appreciated the daily pictures she sent, too. Leaving our sweet kitty (and our home) in Monica’s care was the right decision, and we will not hesitate to use her services in the future.”
“She was absolutely amazing got good pictures of my babies every time she visited and also had very good communication. My cat seemed very happy and healthy when I got back!”
“Great communication, daily updates and lots of pictures of our kitty while we were away for the week 😸 Keerie was so sweet and it was great to know our boy was in good hands while we were missing him on vacation! Will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Marie is amazing! Scooter cannot wait to see her again. I felt completely at ease on my vacation because she kept us well updated and made sure our guy was well taken care of.”
“To simply describe Sydney as AMAZING is not enough. Not only is she excellent at communicating (even when I might take a bit of time to respond), her love and care for my cats are phenomenal. My shy cat took to her so quickly that I’m sure if given the choice, he would not mind going home with her 😆. The picture and video updates I got put me at extreme ease while I was traveling, knowing that my cats and my place were in great hands. I would not even hesitate a single second about recommending her for pet sitting. 1000% would be asking her to care for my boys again in the future.”
“Michele is absolutely wonderful! I booked her last minute and she definitely did not disappoint. She checked in everyday and sent pictures and videos of our cats. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. She seemed so loving and caring to the boys that they didn't even realize we were gone! Thank you so much Michele!!”
About: I’ve been a lifelong cat lover, growing up with several cats and learning how to care for them from a young age. As an adult, I’ve had two cats of my own, including one who lived to the incredible age of 21, giving me valuable experience with both long-term and senior cat care. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, whether they’re playful, shy, or independent, and I take the time to make them feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. As a mom of two, I know how important it is to trust that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I would love the opportunity to provide that same peace of mind to fellow cat parents.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life (24 years). Growing up with cats and dogs gave me a great foundation for caring for other peoples pets! For the past few years, I have been pet sitting for all kinds of dogs & cats. There is nothing more I love than creating a sense of safety and peace for animals when their humans are gone. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur-babies!
About: I have loved animals all my life and have been asked to watch family and friends pets on countless occasions. I believe in the importance of enrichment activities as well as the good ole belly rubs. Whatever the pet is in need of I am happy to help make their day brighter. I can’t wait to spread the love to more fur babies! I’m currently working full time but always have time for walks and playdates with your pets! Weekdays after 6:30 and weekends work the best but I am flexible! I have a2 year old Beagle Boston terrier who gets a few hours of physical activity and mental enrichment a day before winding down for snuggles and love. We spend time on training and puzzles as well as engaging walks.
“Brianne was great! Our cat has special needs and she accommodated incredibly well, and has extensive knowledge on cat care. She sent us regular updates and pictures, and overall made us feel much better about leaving our cat alone for the first time.”
“Missy was so wonderful with my puppy Corbin! I had zero concerns leaving him in her hands. She was very communicative, followed directions, was respectful of my home, and was detailed in her updates. The photos she included in her updates were the highlight of my day! I could tell she really enjoyed her time with him and he was having fun and felt safe with her. Thank you so much, Missy!!!”
“Another amazing sitting experience. My normally shy cat has come to really love Morgan, which shows me just how amazing she is with pets. I am super relieved whenever she is checking in on my cats. She continues to be very easy to communicate with as well.”
“Frank did a great job. Timothy seemed to get along really well with him (he can be shy with new people). Loved all the photos - being able to see how Timothy was getting on definitely made me feel better about being so far away. Thank you!”

About: My parents bred dogs, so I grew up learning how to guage a dogs personality and adjust to their needs. I am comfortable with the anxious, the high-energy, the easily triggered, the "aggressive breeds", etc. I am confident in administering medication as needed to your animals. I went to school for zoo-keeping. Providing enrichment and taking great care of your animals is something that I take pride in. If you have any other animals I am more than happy to include them in my care- I have experience with them all, almost. I currently work alongside my husband. We are renovating a few homes in the area, therefore I can usually adjust my schedule and am available almost 24/7. I have a reliable Chevy Cruz that is fondly accustomed to dog hair. You will receive updates from me often, but feel free to request additional updates. I am very communicative and quick to respond. You can count on me being observant, responsible and proactive with your animals at all times.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Copley
About: Since I was young, I’ve always had a pet. After college I finally got a pet of my own and they’ve just multiplied over the years! Dogs are my specialty - I’ve taken care of dogs belonging to friends and family & I’ve trained both of my dogs since they were puppies. I’d say what sets me apart from others is that I have plenty of time in the afternoons (and any time during the weekend) to take care of your pup because my job ends early in the day unlike a 9-5 job. I have years of experience under my belt and I just really love animals. Always have and always will! As a teacher, I am always home early on the weekdays so I’ll have plenty of time every afternoon to play with & walk your dog! I am available any time on the weekends and I can board Fri-Sun. My husband and I have a big fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company! We are firm believers in lots of walks, lots of playtime, and positive reinforcement. If needed, we can provide a crate as a safe space for your dog to lounge in. Our dogs are our children and we will treat your dog with the same love as we treat our own :)
About: Hi! I’m Erin, an Ohio State graduate with over 10 years of pet sitting experience, specializing in dog/cat care. I offer both drop-in visits and overnight stays, with a big focus on making sure your pet stays in their normal routine. I’m confident handling different sizes, temperaments, and leash behaviors, and always prioritize safety and consistency. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I bring. I’m very detail-oriented and tuned in to behavior, so I pick up quickly on what makes each dog comfortable. I keep communication clear and consistent with updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I also keep things clean, calm, and organized in your home during visits or overnight stays. I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have two cats of my own, so I truly understand the trust that goes into leaving your pet with someone. With years of building my long term clientele, I can assure you your pets will be treated like my own everytime! My goal is to make your dog or cat feel secure, cared for, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone reliable who goes beyond the basics, I’d love to connect and meet your pets:) I have dedicated my days and weekends to providing loving care for animals! I’m fortunate to have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet sitting a priority in my day to day life. Most of my experience has been pet sitting in the owners home or drop ins! I provide overnight services as well. Since I have 2 cats of my own, I would allow dogs to stay at my home if they have experience being around cats. I am dedicated to making each animal feel as comfortable as possible and making sure they feel loved while you are away.
“Monica was pleasant and interested to know all the little things about my doggies. She was timely, played with my dogs and took them for a walk. I will be having her back!”
About: My husband and I have loved getting to dog sit for friends and family. When we heard about rover we got so excited! My husband and I are both runners and are happy to take the dogs we watch on runs/ walks and hikes. We also have enjoyed our new home which came with a fenced in yard. Giving the dogs freedom to run and play is so fun to watch! Every dog we watch feels right at home and we love to cuddle with each and every one.

We have a beautiful fenced in backyard with lots of room to run and play. We also have a crate that can be utilized if need be. There is an extra room we use for dogs to be able to take a break if need be.
About: Life long animal lover, I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, ducks, fresh water aquariums and hamsters. It delights me to give other pet owners peace of mind while they are away from their furry, feathery or even scaley family members by providing care, companionship and security. Pet care is my main schedule priority, I also work as a wellness counselor part time but generally have a lot flexibility in my schedule as I mainly operate remotely for that and I am happy to work with you and your furbabies schedule needs. I do not currently offer care within my own home due to limited space but I am very happy to care for your pets within your own home or by taking them to a trail or park where they can be their happiest and most comfortable. It's important to me to ensure animals stick to their routines to ensure the least amount of stress while owners are away so the more detailed care instructions provided the better, I'm not afraid to adust my personal schedule to best fit the needs of any pet!
About: I have had dogs my entire life. Over the past 15 years I've become quite fond of special needs and rescue pups. I have 3 awesome dogs and a cat that have chosen us to be there family.

About: I have been routinely dog sitting and watching since before I was 12 years old. From small, to medium, to large dogs, I can handle it all! I have even watched cats, ferrets, and lizards. I believe each animal has unique needs that I am able to deliver at your request. In my own home, I have a dog, cat, and two ferrets! I love taking care of our fuzzy friends🤩 I work part-time from 4-9am which allows the rest of my day to tend to your companion! My summer is built to cater to your pet’s needs😁 I currently take my family dog for routine walks, and sometimes runs, as well as letting him out throughout the day. I also provide loving attention and to our family cat! On the other hand, the two ferrets that I own require special attention due to chronic illness. Their primary veterinary always praises the care that I am able to provide for them!
About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover, growing up with both dogs and cats and learning to care for them from a young age. As an adult, I’ve had two cats, including one who lived to the incredible age of 21, which gave me extensive experience with long-term and senior pet care. I currently share my home with our 6-year-old Papillon, who is a cherished member of our family. As a mom of two, I understand how important it is to trust that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for when you’re away. I would love the opportunity to provide that same peace of mind to other pet parents. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a pet owner myself, I’m already used to feeding, cleaning, and spending quality time with animals each day. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to plan my day around visits, whether that means morning, midday. I’m consistent and dependable, and I make it a priority to give each pet the attention, care, and companionship they need while their owner is away. When caring for pets in your home, I aim to keep them comfortable by sticking closely to their usual routine. I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning or potty breaks, and plenty of attention and playtime based on what your pet enjoys. For dogs, I offer safe, engaging walks suited to their pace and personality. I treat every home with respect and always follow your instructions carefully, and I’m happy to send updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands.

About: Hello! My name is Amanda Engel.

Since the comfort and safety of your pet is my #1 priority, I take the following steps to ensure a safe and healthy environment: - Monitoring weather conditions and limiting time outdoors in excess heat -Always keeping dogs on a leash when outdoors -Inquiring about any medical history or needs and adhering to any medication schedules -Taking a Canine First Aid & CPR course periodically to maintain safety skills
About: I love animals & enjoy tending to their needs. Whether I have to trick them to take meds, walk or play fetch, I love it. I usually clean houses in the mornings, but I always make time for pets! I offer drop in visits, play time, feedings, & overnight stays. I prefer to watch pets at their home so they feel comfortable & don’t have to endure too many changes. They’ll be right at home.
About: I’ve been a dog lover since about the age of 10 when we got my family dog, Shadow, a cockapoo. As a kid and while growing up, I even trained Shadow to compete in agility competitions and took him to training weekly while also practicing with him in the backyard! When I moved out, I got my own fur baby- a golden doodle named Bubity! Obsessed doesn’t even begin to describe how much I love my dog as I have a water bottle, pair of slippers, shorts and sweatshirt with him on it! I promise to treat your dog as if they’re are my own! I’m currently working part time as a nurse while also attending classes virtually for my masters. My schedule changes weekly but I usually know it about a month in advance! I am pretty flexible on my days off and and willing to work with you in order to help take care of your fur baby! I have a fully fenced in yard and my 1 golden doodle at home. I am more than happy to host your dog for play dates in our yard. I know how hard it is to get a routine set with your dog whether it be something as simple as turning the TV on before leaving the house, walking a specific route to get them to go potty or giving them a special treat when they’re going to be left alone. Whatever your routine is, let me know and I will follow it to its entirety!

“Awesome as always. The perfect, loving, low key environment for our golden Ellie. Susan and Doug are serious about doing the best for our baby. So many pics of Ellie smiling with toys , on walks, getting cuddles. I told DH that I thought Ellie wasn’t going to want to come home with us. Totally comfortable leaving Ellie there.”
“Sydney is a great communicator and stays in touch often ensuring the safety, love and care of your pet. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. I was at ease knowing that she communicated so well and also was able to identify potential habits that may be developing. This was the best process for us and so glad we chose this route vs boarding him. Thank you for all your understanding and patience with our baby boy.”
“Jessica kept our dog Leif while we were on vacation and made him so comfortable. She was very responsive and sent us regular updates with pictures and videos to make us feel comfortable! She also did drop in visits with our cats and was great to work with.”
About: All K9 Solutions is fully insured and licensed here in Akron OH. I've been training dogs for 6 years and professionally for 4 years. After I worked for reputable training companies, one here in Akron area as the head trainer, I decided to open my own company called All K9 Solutions. I grew up with dogs, and have experience with cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, chickens, and ducks as I used to manage a farm as well. I personally network all over the US with other dog trainers. One of my recent travels has been to Kansas to help host a working dog workshop with a few small departments. I have two Belgian malinois who I strive for their needs to be met daily. From mental stimulation to physical stimulation while giving them a “job”. My youngest is 3 years old and does many sports (PSA, AKC sports, and has been dabbling in odor work), and my oldest is 10, he’s a retired military explosives K9 who served on the boarder of Jordan up until 7 years old. Both the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. All of my dogs have off leash obedience training that is kept up with. I have a background in dog training, boarding, and daycare; from puppies all the way to seniors. I strive for knowledge with dogs as there’s always new information to learn and dogs aren’t cookie cutter. I’m also an STSK9 MVP student for advanced obedience. I’m very passionate about teaching others about dogs from genetics and breeds to how their psychology works. My business hours run from 7am-10pm. My availability is open from the afternoon to night time, this way all morning routines are completed, walks, potty breaks, feeding, training sessions etc. All dogs are boarded in a home environment instead of a facility. This way your dogs aren’t as stressed being away from you, and they can comfortably enjoy their vacation too. All dogs are kenneled to ensure safety (not investing anything they shouldn’t, no free roam 24/7 with other client’s dogs you don’t know, and they have their own space to decompress). Since the yard isn't fenced in, all dogs must be leashed with a properly fitted collar with a longline when going outside, a harness, or a slip lead. However, a good peaceful walk with all the smells is always more mental and physical stimulation for the dogs than a fenced in area with limited access. Reactive dogs and fearful dogs are welcome as I have years of experience with them, and training them to grow confidence and obedience. I also have experience with special need's animals. Loud dogs are welcome too. If your dog(s) show healthy body language and do well with other dogs, my two malinois are gentle beings and always love a play mate. Minka especially, she follows the other dog's pace and reads their body language. I do ask that you leave your vet information with me and emergency vet information as well for an emergency contact if ever need be. Better safe than sorry. I also do ask for a second choice of contact incase the primary owner is unable to be reached. All dogs must be up to date on vaccines and bordetella for boarding and daycare. Safety precautions are always taken. For the well being of the dogs and myself. Please note that I do require all important behaviors are made aware of by the owners before hand and I will notify owners upon any concern of sickness or bite risks. I send updates each day as well or will add photos to your rover card.
“Darlene was great, she send a nice picture and said Daisy was good and this was the first time I use rover and I will do Darlene again. I was very happy with her, it’s was a wonderful experience!”
“Heather was friendly and easy-going. She updated us with pictures and a short summary of how our dog was doing. When we picked him up she said he was a "perfect house guest".”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I can remember. Started with having my own pets as a child and raising orphan wildlife, then moving on to a carrier in veterinary. I’ve been working as licensed veterinary technician since 2009 and going strong. I still work part time at a clinic but spending more time at home now to raise my family. I am very comfortable with medical needs, including injections, and hold a special place in my heart for the elderly pets. I do still work part time at a vet clinic, but half days so your kiddos wouldn’t be going long periods without potty breaks and attention. I have a large fenced in yard that has direct access from the walkout basement where boarding pets stay. Your kiddo will be treated as one of the family, playing out in the yard and a lot of Netflix and chill on the couch. While I do have 2 dogs of my own, they will be kept separated from any boarding pets. We are surrounded by woods and wildlife so rabies vaccine and flea/tick prevention is a requirement to stay in our home.
“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the wonderful care you provided for my dog, Luna! From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in great hands. You took the time to understand her personality and needs, which made all the difference. Luna had an absolute blast during her day with you! Thank you once again for giving Luna such a wonderful day. I will definitely be reaching out for future dog-sitting needs, and I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter!”
“Megan and her family were wonderful!! My pup Zoey seemed to have a great time and is wore out from all the fun! She got to play with Megan's two sons, their dog, neighbor kids, went on walks, and tagged along doing errands for the car ride! Thanks so so much for caring for our girl, Megan!”
“MacKenzie is awesome. We had a trip to see family in Ohio and we brought Trixie with us. Makenzie watched her for the day. We have already recommended Makenzie to family.”
“AMAZING FAMILY. They were such a great choice for my girl. All the updates they sent were so awesome. Let alone you can just see the comfort, happiness & fun in my girl. I was worried she wouldn’t want to come home because she was loving it so much! Ava seemed to fit right in with the pack as well as feel right at home with them. Out of all the Rovers we’ve had this by far has been my favorite! ❤️ 🥰”
“Traveled to Italy for 10 days - the longest we’ve ever left our fur babies - but they had as much fun at Marie’s as we did in Italy!!! With daily photos and videos, we were able to enjoy ourselves knowing our puppies were in good hands ☺️”
“Hailey and Justin are the best. They were responsive, flexible, and they treated our pup like a queen. My dog is always nervous when I leave her, but she wasn’t nervous with Justin & Hailey or their two dogs. When we picked our girl up, she was exhausted from play. I can’t say enough good things about Justin and Hailey. Such kind people. I will be using them again for sure and highly recommend them.”
“Our Lana had a blast making new friends in Bruno and Mary. Mary was attentive with constant updates, pictures and communications, leaving us to relax into our time away. We will be calling Mary and Bruno again soon!”
“I felt Savanna took good care of Felipe. He loves everyone and he is a good dog and that showed when he was with Savanna and her family. Yes I would have him stay with her again. He was taken in his morning walks and they shared videos. Nice home and family. Thank you guys”
“Swetha and her family are very responsive and did a great job watching Cooper! We are repeat clients and would not hesitate to recommend them! Great family. Thank you so much!”
“Jason was super helpful with our last minute request to have Blu stay with him. He was very understanding of our situation and we really appreciate him helping us out! Will definitely use Jason in the future!”
About: I won’t lie and say I’ve professionally taken care of dogs for 15 years—but I’ve taken care of dogs ever since elementary school, in my own household and in others’. I know what to look out for to prevent a dog from getting into trouble. I’ve dealt with just about all kinds of messes. And I can handle any size of dog. My main job is part-time contract work, so there are a lot of monetary and time gaps that need filled. That said, my routine allows a lot of room for pet sitting! Every dog is different, so I take that approach with each pet I look after. I follow owner’s instructions, and if I have any questions I am not afraid to ask for clarification—the dog’s/owner’s needs come first. I love giving dogs the attention they deserve (which is usually a lot), and am great at playing.
“Lindsay was an amazing sitter for my baby Theodore. She was attentive, patient, sweet, and also gives updates on how he was doing the whole time. I got daily pictures of him and it made me really happy. I will book her again and again. Highly recommend.”
