“Once again, Kathy and Graham took such good care of Tommy that when he came home after his 2 week vacation with them, although happy to be home, was still looking for them! It’s such a great feeling to know and trust that another person can and will take good care of your beloved pet. We would not hesitate to leave Tommy for any length of time with Kathy”
“They helped me out TONS by watching my Shih Tzu for about 6 days. I’ve never used Rover before, so I was a little hesitant at first. Everything went smooth and they were flexible on drop off & pickup times since we drove all day. My dog seemed extremely comfortable @ pickup and we got several pics throughout the week! I would definitely book with them again.”
“Brandon is such a cool person and I will definitely be a regular customer of his. He went the extra mile to help me feel confident about leaving my fur baby with him (the first time I’ve ever left my dog alone without me for an overnight stay somewhere). He has a very nice backyard area for the dogs and was excellent with communication. I felt very at ease, especially with the photo updates! Thank you, Brandon!”
“Everything was exactly as we expected. Clear communication, lovely spaces for our dog to roam and cuddle. And we were sent pictures to reassure us that our Rosie was happy!”
“Bri I wanna thank you so much for your boarding service! You are God sent. You loved on my baby, kept me informed, sent pictures and treated him like your own. You took great care of my Brawny! I am looking forward to booking with you again! I appreciate you!!!”
“Daniel and Rachel were absolutely incredible Rover hosts! We boarded our energetic beagle with them for 11 days, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. From day one, they made us feel completely at ease with regular updates and daily pictures that showed just how happy and well cared for our pup was. They clearly went above and beyond—making sure she had plenty of playtime, consistent walks, and lots of attention to match her high energy. It was obvious she was having a great time and getting the engagement she needs. We’re so grateful for the love and care they gave her while we were away. I would highly recommend Daniel and Rachel to anyone looking for reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring hosts. We would definitely book with them again!”
“Patchareya was an excellent sitter for my pup. She communicates regularly and provides a lot of care and affection for small dogs. If you have a small dog I would highly recommend her for your future boarding needs. I know I will!”
“Tara and Peter are fantastic! They treated Zoey like the princess she is and sent me pictures and reports about her everyday. They are very loving and caring people with a wonderful, fully fenced backyard that is a puppy paradise. I'm sure Zoey will be seeing them again!”
“Our pup loved spending the night with Susan and gang - She was very responsive, and I appreciated the extra effort they put in to making her feel comfortable. Will use again soon!!”
“This was our third time having our Maltese boarding at Beth's place. Beth was a great host as usual. She responded fast on Rover and shared lovely photos of our dog during the stay. We are very thankful for having Beth as our host and would recommend her for sure.”
“Rachel was great, she made it convenient for me to drop my dog off for boarding, and when I picked him Up he jumped over to Rachel and gave her a big hug, I think he wanted to stay with her, he might like her more than me!!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I’m patient, reliable, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. I pay close attention to instructions, communicate regularly with updates and photos, and make sure every pet receives the care and attention they deserve. I work entirely from home, which gives me a highly flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. I can easily accommodate potty breaks, mid-day walks, and constant companionship throughout the week. My weekends are completely open for extended playtime, boarding, or overnight house sitting. When watching pets in your home, safety and respect for your space are my top priorities. I stick strictly to your established routines, double-check that all doors and gates are secure before and after walks, and keep in constant contact with daily photo updates to give you complete peace of mind. My home is a cozy, pet-friendly space where your dog's safety is my number one priority. While I do not have a fenced yard, I always keep dogs securely leashed during all outdoor bathroom breaks and walks. I strictly follow your feeding routines and provide constant supervision to keep them safe and happy.
“Hayley was so easy to work with and took great care of our dog! She provided plenty of updates and pictures throughout the stay! Our dog and hers got along perfectly. We will absolutely be using Hayley's services again in the future!”
“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!”
“Samantha was exceptionally kind and generous towards my little dogs. She made sure that they received their medication‘s, were showered with love, affection, and care, even sharing a bed with them. I’m exceptionally grateful for how she was able to give them their medications every day, and my dogs looked genuinely happy to be there. She was incredibly thoughtful and punctual with communication, and went the extra mile by staging photo shoots with my dogs every day.I’m grateful to Samantha and would gladly rebook her anytime.”

“Brittany mastered the art of wrangling and eyedrop administration on day one! She was a perfect match for our skittish Persian grumpy cat and will definitely use her in the future.”
“Arrived promptly at requested time, provided awesome photos, and communicated accomplishments of visit. She also met with me before I left on vacation to meet my cat and see the lay of the land, so to speak.”
About: I currently have a 4 year old mini Australian shepherd. My experience includes watching a puppy overnight, helping train a deaf dog, and taking neighbors dogs on walks. I am a teacher so I am available all of June-August to provide all day care for dogs or just walk dogs during the day. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home where dogs are treated like family. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and lots of affection. I follow each dog’s routine and make sure they feel happy and relaxed while they’re away from home.
“Absolutely ZERO complaints or issues with Nicole. She watched our cat for a week during a recent vacation. My wife and I are super early risers. Typically waking up around 3am. We got lucky with Nicole, she has a similar schedule and was able to feed our cat early mornings consistent with our daily feedings. Our meet & greet was great as well. We have never used Rover and were really unsure what to expect. Nicole answered questions via messaging before scheduling a meet. A few hours before our scheduled time, Nicole reached out to confirm our appointment. Nicole asked many questions about our cat, home, plants etc. Asked if she should shovel snow, water plants, take garbage to curb etc. Nicole really put my wife and I at ease after talking with her. Nicole gave us great report cards with her daily check-ins. Always received multiple pics of our cat in our home. We are new cat owners and were nervous on what to expect. When we travel in the future, and will not be able to bring our pets with us, we will definitely rebook with Nicole. All said, Nicole is a great reflection of Rover and what they offer pet owners. We look forward to interacting with Nicole again in the future.”
“Rachel did an amazing job watching over our 2 cats while we were away for our wedding. She made sure they got their food on time, scooped their box daily, and played with them. Rachel was perfect, we will definitely be booking her again when we need another sitter!”
“Matthew came over prior to our vacation to get to know our house and our pet. He was communicative while we were gone, reaching out if you had any questions or issues. We sincerely appreciated his care and follow through for our cat Chuck!”
About: I have owned cats since I was a kid, and I currently have my own kitten as well as 3 other cats living in my house (they’re not mine they’re my boyfriend’s families) and I have a regular client whose cats I take care of. I have volunteered at an animal shelter that required me to desensitize feral cats, provide enrichment, perform daily care, and more. I love cats so much and I would love for the opportunity to take care of yours!
“Paula was great with our two cats. She managed to get both of them, who are very shy of new people, to come out and visit with her. She kept in contact and I got several pictures of the cats while I was away. I would absolutely hire her again!”
About: I’m a dependable and caring cat sitter who understands that every cat has their own unique personality. Whether your cat loves to play or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to feed, refresh water, clean litter boxes, play with toys, provide cuddles (if they want them!), and send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Sophie did an amazing job with our cats. She sent the cutest pics of our fur babies while we were away, and it was clear they were in great hands. This was our first time using Rover and everything was so easy and smooth. Looking forward to booking with Sophie again soon!”
“Morgan was great with my cat, and really got him to warm up to her. She was very communicative, prompt, and responsive during the visits, overall a great experience and I would recommend Morgan to anyone!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover; I have cared for my own pets most of my life, and did my first ever (non-family) pet sitting job when I was about 12 years old. I have experience with dogs, cats, and a variety of farm animals. My husband and I currently have a dog and cat indoors, along with a pair of cats and fifteen ducks outside. My current pup, Abby, has taught me a lot about dog body language and behavior, so I'm better equipped than ever to interact with anxious dogs. I work full time, but can still provide house sitting services if you're comfortable with me being away during the day Monday-Friday, and can provide drop in and walking services early mornings/evenings during the week. Most weekend days I can be available all day. I'll be sure that I have and understand any instructions you have for your pets to ensure that they get the care they expect and deserve. I've also just completed a PetTech first aid and CPR class to be sure I'm able to keep your pets as safe as possible.
“Adara was absolutely wonderful with Javi and Tamale! From the start, it was clear she genuinely cares about the dogs in her care — she was attentive, gentle, and really listened to everything I shared about their needs and routines. The regular updates she sent gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I came home to two happy, relaxed pups, which says everything. We will 100% be booking with Adara again — highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pets like her own!”
About: I've been around animals since I was very young and love all of them. They are part of my family and will be treated as such while they're with me. I enjoy going on walks and keeping pets happy and entertained. I believe it's very important to know your fur babies will be in great hands when boarding with me. My beloved dog Mario is no longer with me; he lived for 13 wonderful years and was the best dog anyone could ask for. I haven't been able to get another one since then. Watching and caring for other pets makes me happy and brings me joy. I currently work from home so my schedule is very flexible throughout the week. Working from Home is a blessing and has given me the flexibility to care for others pets. I do not have a fenced yard, but I live in a development that gives me plenty of opportunities to go for walks. As long as they come with a leash we will be walking.
“Katrina checked in on Niles and Melody as we agreed on, sending updates and photos throughout the booking. I appreciate her attentiveness to them as she noted their demeanor and behaviors. This is reassuring when we are away. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, professional sitter don’t hesitate to reach out to Katrina. I know I’ll continue to schedule my trips around her availability.”
“Shawntel did a great job with my cat, Angus! He is typically a very shy and anxious kitty that doesn’t like company, but totally warmed up to Shawntel. I booked this somewhat last minute, but Shawntel still took the booking and even took the time to do a meet and greet before as well. I really appreciated the pics and updates as I was out of town as well. Would definitely rebook.”

“Brandon is amazing! He agreed to watch my 3 month old puppy on a 2 day notice while I had to work for 12 hours. Ollie had so much fun playing with other dogs. He sent me videos and pics all day and gave me updates! Highly recommend, Ollie loves it here and he’ll be back!”
“Murphy was so excited to go to Leslie’s for the day! It had been awhile since he stayed away from home. I told him he was going there and he ran to the door to wait until we were ready to leave! I never need to worry because I know he is getting wonderful care!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog - sitting experience for our little Frenchie, Caillou! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he was in loving, attentive hands. We received thoughtful updates and photos; we could tell he was happy, comfortable, and truly cared for all weekend. Caillou came home relaxed, well cared for, and clearly adored - always the best sign. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was treated like part of the family, not just watched, but genuinely loved. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care and would absolutely trust them again without hesitation. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Andrew provided excellent care for our precious dogs. He kept them exercised, hydrated and rested. He sent pics and updates and made us feel so relaxed about our decision. Will definitely have Andrew watch our pups again!”
“Amanda, Aaron, and their precious pups are wonderful! ???? Our 12 week old little girly has been socialized with all ages, shapes, and sizes of people, but not with other furry friends! Well, She had a daycare day today! She was nervous and shy at first, but then couldn’t care less about me when I came to pick her up!??♀️She loved playing and hanging out with new friends! Amanda updated me and sent me photos throughout the day! They have their house set up so they can separate the dogs if need be, and she took them out one at a time so as not to have them wrestling around in the wet mud, etc. I appreciate that! ☺️ I can tell Amanda and Aaron love dogs- we are so thankful! ?????”
About: I have a loving home with plenty of space fenced and unfenced to run around. Designated room with separate crates available if needed. I currently have several clients that I pet sit at their homes. I currently am working full time with the flexibility to work from home when needed. I am available every day. Please provide at least 3 day notification for in Home or my home pet sitting. I have a large fenced in yard, 3 of my own wonderful golden duds to keep your fur baby company. I have the ability to crate if necessary. I also have several clients that I take care of their pets in their homes while on vacation or long weekends. References can be provided.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since i had my first dog in the first grade. A white Samoyed. When she was 3 she has 7 puppies! I was obsessed with them. We sold 6 and kept one. So we had 2 big white Samoyed’s that I had the responsibility of raising and attending to. They were my whole world. I’m always the first to be asked to watch someone’s dog because if there’s one thing I’m passionate about, it’s loving on dogs. I now have a mini dachshund who i love so much. I have experience with puppies, big dogs, little dogs, and senior dogs. I’m able to train puppies and care for senior dogs who would need more help in their day to day activities such as meds, frequent potty breaks, and patience. I also had an internship with the lake humane society in high school and have a special place in my heart for rescue dogs/cats who could use some extra love. I am currently a stay at home mom with my 8 year old who is in school and 1 year old who both love dogs I figured i could help out some dog momma or daddies who aren’t able to be home with them all day. I am able to let your dog out every couple hours. And even take them for brief walks. We have plenty of dog toys to share, bully sticks (while supervised), treats, and extra dog bowls if needed. My husband is a realtor so is home most of the time if i am not. I crate our dog at home when we leave. I also have a camera just in case to make sure she’s okay while we’re gone. We moved so we don’t have a fenced in yard anymore. But had leads if they want to stay outside for a longer period of time. I also live next to my parents who have a fenced in yard where i could take them if you feel more comfortable with that.
“Karma was great! Sent plenty of pics and feedback to put us at ease! We have a very nervous little guy and she did great with understanding his needs and accommodating them”
About: My passion for caring for animals began in childhood while growing up on a farm. From a young age, I helped clean stalls, collect fresh chicken eggs each morning, and care for a variety of animals. I was always the kid begging my parents for more pets, and animals quickly became my greatest source of comfort through a tough childhood. I have over 10 years of hands-on experience working on a horse farm, where I learned the value of consistency, safety, and attentive care. In addition, I’ve fostered bottle-baby kittens, assisted my mom in breeding golden retrievers, and helped raise her litters many times. My love for animals has no boundaries — I’ve worked with everything from farm animals to dogs, cats, and even jumping spiders, which I currently breed. I have two dogs of my own — Meme, who is 6, and Pia, who is 3 — and they are my whole heart. They have a daily routine I take seriously: outside time at 6:00 a.m., treats before I head to work, a midday potty break, and an evening 30-minute walk at 5:30 p.m. On weekends, we enjoy adventures at the park or exploring new places. I understand how important structure and routine are for pets, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve provided a wide range of pet care — from weekend stays to week-long vacations — both in my home and in others’. Whether it’s an active pup needing exercise, a senior dog requiring gentle attention, or a young animal that needs extra patience, I’m flexible, attentive, and committed to giving each pet the love, safety, and care they deserve. My pups have an entire routine each day. In the morning they go outside at 6:00 am. I do have a fenced in back yard, so I leave my sliding glass door open so they may come in and out. The get treats in the morning before I go to work. I do return home for lunch to let them out to potty. I return home around 5:30 each day and we go for a 30 minute walk. They get their bedtime treat and we start again the next day. On weekends I do like to take them to the park or on adventures. My pups would love some friends, and sleep overs. I know how important my dogs routine and/or schedules are and I would take your pup’s routine just as seriously. The amount of care I offer for pets on a regular basis always fluctuates. I have had pups for a week long vacation, and I have also had just weekend stays. Various weekends I do stay at others homes and care for their pets. I’m very flexible.
“100% would recommend S&J! I had an unique circumstance of coming from out of town for a family event and Sheila accepted my 8 month old pup, Reggie, for the day. She provided constant updates and made me feel comfortable leaving him for the day without them every meeting. Thank you so much!”
“Austin was flexible with drop-off and pick up times, and sent us updates throughout the day. We appreciate that because Rory can be shy with other dogs at first, so it was nice to have the confirmation that she was settling in and having a good time. Will be using Austin again!”
“Gina and her husband are very nice and accommodating. I did not worry about my little guy while I was at work. They have a beautiful clean home with a large yard. Their 2 ittle dogs are very friendly and play well. I highly recommend whether you are boarding or using as daycare. Thank you so much Gina.”
“Pogo had his very first day at daycare with Flora, and we couldn't be happier with our choice! He seemed so at home there as he dove right into the fun activities Flora had planned. It was such a joy to see him having an amazing time! The warm welcome we received was simply amazing. Flora really took the time to understand Pogo’s schedule, which made everything go so smoothly. Knowing he was in such great hands was incredibly reassuring. Flora was just a quick call or text away if we had any questions. As a sweet touch, she left us a handwritten note about Pogo’s day with her, which really put our minds at ease and showed us how much fun he had and the care she took of him. We can’t wait to book with Flora again in the future!”
“Zarina took very good care of our fur babies. Even though my pups are painfully shy, she did well with them. I appreciate her and I will ask her to watch our pups again when in town in November.”
“We could not have ask for a more perfect experience with Susan. We wanted to go and enjoy Cleveland for the day and not have to worry about our dogs. She and her husband welcomed them into their home and we were able to have a worry free and fun day. When we picked them up they were tired and happy. What more could you ask for! We would highly recommend!!”

About: Hello fellow pet peeps! I’ve had pets as long as I can remember- I’ve been lucky enough to have been a pet mama to small pocket pets, cats, dogs, reptiles (snakes and lizards), fish, a chinchilla named Jerry and even a small flock of chickens! I am a teacher, so I have time this summer to help out! I would love to offer my services to all the families needing someone to look after their furry (or scaley) family members. I can offer housesitting, but I am unable to stay over night due to my own family needs at this time. I can be flexible and would love to help if I can. I have a lot of experience taking care of different types of animals, but would always follow the specific directions based on the needs of your pet. I am comfortable with all types of pet care including medication needs, crating, potty training etc…
“Rachel was amazing!! She took such good care of Josie!! She stayed a little longer to play with her since they couldn't walk as far due to the rain. We are looking forward to using her again!!”

About: Since I was 11 years old putting dog walking flyers on my neighbors porches, I have always had a passion for taking care of animals. I still have people contacting me to cat or dog sit for them, and they love to recommend me to their friends. I love animals, and I know how to handle them safely and responsibly. From working with horses to dolphins, I have been around many different animals. I have owned reptiles and guinea pigs as well as dogs and cats, I have been working with and riding horses since 2018, and every summer since around 2020 I have gone to the Florida Keys and learned about training dolphins, I have aged out of that program now. I also volunteered at an animal shelter when I was younger. I am looking for a job to use my skills with animals. I work at a veterinary practice for a large animal veterinarian currently on Wednesdays and Fridays. I am looking for another job that I can work on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. I can also do weekends if you are looking for someone who will stop by and take care of your animal for 30 minutes to an hour, but I like to have time on my weekends to spend with my loved ones, so the activities that take longer I would like the save for weekdays. I promise to love and take care of your animal as if it is my own until their favorite person comes back! I have my own reliable transportation, I can take your dog to a dog park if it is dog friendly, or I have a lot of land at my house. I also could take it to any walking paths. I know how to handle animals of all temperaments, and I am a good communicator and will keep you updated. I would love the opportunity to take care of your animal! I work at a veterinary practice part time on Wednesdays and Fridays and I generally start early in the morning around 7, and it’s a 40 minute drive. My hours can vary but I’m usually done sometime before 4pm. I can do drop by visits on those days early in the morning and after 5pm. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, I can do dog walking, dog sitting, or doggy day care at my house! Anything that generally takes a decent amount of time I can do on those days. On the weekends, I can do house visits for 30 minutes to an hour, but I would like to keep my weekends open as much as possible to spend time with friends and family and go to the barn. I have my own cat as well as 4 other cats, an english bulldog, and a french bulldog owned by my boyfriend’s family that I live with. I generally feed and take care of my cats and the other cats, but I used to pet sit for them and took care of their dogs as well. As far as caring for animals in my own home, I live on 8 acres of land, some of which is a field blocked off by tree line that would be a perfect place to play. I also have a fenced in concrete and grass area for the dogs to use the restroom. I have crates in my house where I can separate dogs if needed. I also know of lots of places to walk dogs, and live by a couple of dog parks. As for care in a clients home, I have lots of experience. I can do litter boxes, feed and water animals, and give enrichment and treats if requested by the owner. I can also let dogs outside on leash, or in a fenced in backyard. I’d rather be safe than sorry, so I avoid taking a dog off leash if they do not have a fenced in or secluded area. I can take them on walks around your neighborhood as well. I am also willing to take care of exotic animals or livestock, as I have plenty of background in that as well.
About: My goal is to make sure that pet parents like me have someone they can trust to help care for their babies. I have two years of experience working at a boarding/daycare facility where I was a supervisor for 1.5 years there, this means that I have experience working with dogs who need to take any type of medication- like insulin. I have been working at an animal shelter for 6 months where I’ve grown to learn more about the body language of dogs which has made me more confident in making sure the animals are comfortable and I can tell when they are starting to get overstimulated. I treat every fur baby like my own just as I would hope anyone else would mine. I am currently doordashing, actively seeking more work. My schedule is very flexible so I am able to do last minute drop in’s if needed! I have a fenced in property where your dogs would be safe from getting out and wandering around, I have 3 very social dogs who love to have friends but I could also keep everyone separated if that is what’s needed. I also have crates if your pet needs to go in one. If I were to be at my clients home I would make sure that your pets are able to go potty at a scheduled time either going in your backyard or bringing them on a walk to get everything out of their system. I can make sure that your pet will not have anything in their area that could hurt them or be eaten which could cause more damage as well.
“Sandy was awesome! She walked my pup, played with her, and fed her. She also sent pictures and stayed in contact. I really appreciate her helping me while I was out of town. Derby seemed so happy after being with her. Can’t say thank you enough!”
“Allison has been wonderful to work with! She has been walking our two pups for the past few weeks and we couldn’t be happier with the care and attention they receive! From the start, Allison has been reliable, communicative and a great resource for long work days!”
“Brandon was amazing with Arlo and really spent some time making sure he had fun. Great walks, played fetch and had some fun with him in pond. Arlo has a new friend and will definitely have them spend some more time together. Thanks Brandon”
About: I worked in the veterinary field for 9 years. I have extensive experience with pets who have fear aggression or need special care due to anxiety or age. I have for the past decade been routinely petsitting or dog walking for friends. I am currently working part time, and my schedule is pretty flexible, so I am open most days to take love and care for your pets!! My main goal in any dog walking or sitting gig is that the pet and the owner are 100% comfortable with me. As a pet owner myself, I know how important our babies are to us. I want there to be no concern about my services provided. I want you to feel confident that I can provide the top most care when it comes to your furry loved ones.

I'm excited to provide the best care for your furry, scaly, or feathered friends while you're away. Your pets will be loved and looked after as if they were my own. I have extensive experience with dogs, cats, and even lifers I am available early mornings every day of the week . Right now I have open availability so i have free range to help out any time of the day. I can even check in on your precious cargo holidays or weekends I have a fenced in backyard for your dog to run around in. I do have cats in my home who were introduced and lived with our pooch until her passing recently. I prefer to home sit in your home due to the fact I have 5 cats and 2 dogs and it may be overwhelming
About: I’ve been around all animals my whole life, My friends and family have always called me an animal whisperer because I’ve never met an animal that didn’t like me. I’m skilled in reading body language and respecting animals so they feel comfortable with me. I’m a customer service manager full time all week but will be available all weekend at all hours of the day and night so you can be free on weekends. I’m respectful of home I come to and if needed to come to mine I have a service animal that is good with all dogs but can be put away if needed.
“Matthew was willing to help me out on relatively short notice. I needed help walking my dog over the weekend because of a flared back issue. He was terrific! Friendly, enthusiastic, good walker and communicator. I appreciated his ability to be flexible, too. Shankara evidently loved the walks. I will definitely book with him in the future as needs demand it! Thanks, Matt!”
About: I’ve always had cats and dogs growing up and have experience with all ages. I’ve spent the last several years animal sitting for friends and family when they’re out of town. I have a pretty flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to give your pets lots of care and attention! Available any day of the week! I can walk your pet, feed your pet and play with your pet and I can give them lots of cuddles and attention while you are away!
About: My parents are also animal lovers, so I have had many different dogs growing up from Great Danes to Teacup Chihuahuas! My first dog was a Golden Retriever named Roxy! She made me fall in love with animal care which is when I pursued positions working at boarding facilities, vet clinics, and animal shelters. These positions gave me plenty of experience working with many different breeds and personalities. I also learned correct ways to administer medications and deal with animals that may be in distress. I currently am in grad school and have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My field season is in the spring, so I may have limited availability. I am very trustworthy. I understand that my only job is to come and offer the care and love to your pets while you are not available. Most of my time will be spent giving my full attention to your loved one’s! If your pet is not the social type or I need to be at your house for a long period of time, I have many hobbies (journaling, reading, crocheting, etc.), and I am also in school to receive my masters degree in Biology, so I have homework or materials I can bring to entertain myself if needed.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Im always my family’s go to person when they need it! I’ve watched many kinds of dogs of many ages, including little 3lbs puppies to 120lbs leonbergers! I also was involved with service dogs in training. I’m currently free most weekdays after 3 pm and most weekends! I love being outdoors, going on long walks at the park, and I love dogs! So I figured this would be the perfect activity for me (: I always listen to the rules that are made for me to follow when watching someone’s pet because I understand that it is the best way to care for their fur baby while the owners are away.
About: Pet Taxi & Check-In and Poo Cleaning Services- STARTING July 9th- AVAILABLE DAILY!! Moving back to Ohio! https://pettaxicheck-inservice dot com This is an "at your home pet check-in service" and "transportation service" for your pet in the local area(s). I also do poop clean up in your residential yard for $40 a time- will use your trash or remove from premises for an additional fee. Do you need your pet to go to the groomer, or get a vet check up, or enjoy a walk in the park, and you cannot find the time? Or you do not drive and public transportation will not allow pets to ride? Here is your solution.... the LOCAL PET TAXI is at your service! The Pet Taxi cost is $60 round trip with a max distance of 20 miles from my residence. If over 20 miles away, then the cost is $80. $5 additional per pet, please. I am located in Lake County and look forward to checking in or transporting your beloved pet to wherever they need to go! "Check-In" [Drop-In] Visits I stop by my client's home while they're away a few times a day (Usually 3-4X is most common) for 30-45 minutes each time to feed, take out to potty, and play with their pets. The fee for check-ins run between $18-20 a visit, depending on the distance and the amount of times needed, holiday rates, number of pets, etc. Overnight sitting in your home is at a higher rate and dependent on scheduling availability. (This would not include staying at the residence all day; just over-night with your pet.) Pet sitters take care of our most treasured furry friends and help ease the stress and discomfort that comes with a disrupted schedule for your dogs. They’ll still miss you, but having someone available for belly rubs, food, and fetch can help take their minds off the misery. If you need your yard picked up after your pup’s poop- I offer that service too!! As of July 6, 2026 I am available EVERY DAY with appointment in advance. Losing my full time job so after July 5 I can pretty much schedule anytime pet check-ins, walks, sittings, yard cleanup and transportations. I check in at the pets' residence. I can take care of any kind or breed of animal. I have several years experience with different kinds of animals- including reptiles.

“They helped me out TONS by watching my Shih Tzu for about 6 days. I’ve never used Rover before, so I was a little hesitant at first. Everything went smooth and they were flexible on drop off & pickup times since we drove all day. My dog seemed extremely comfortable @ pickup and we got several pics throughout the week! I would definitely book with them again.”
“Brandon is such a cool person and I will definitely be a regular customer of his. He went the extra mile to help me feel confident about leaving my fur baby with him (the first time I’ve ever left my dog alone without me for an overnight stay somewhere). He has a very nice backyard area for the dogs and was excellent with communication. I felt very at ease, especially with the photo updates! Thank you, Brandon!”
“Daniel and Rachel were absolutely incredible Rover hosts! We boarded our energetic beagle with them for 11 days, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. From day one, they made us feel completely at ease with regular updates and daily pictures that showed just how happy and well cared for our pup was. They clearly went above and beyond—making sure she had plenty of playtime, consistent walks, and lots of attention to match her high energy. It was obvious she was having a great time and getting the engagement she needs. We’re so grateful for the love and care they gave her while we were away. I would highly recommend Daniel and Rachel to anyone looking for reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring hosts. We would definitely book with them again!”
“Tara and Peter are fantastic! They treated Zoey like the princess she is and sent me pictures and reports about her everyday. They are very loving and caring people with a wonderful, fully fenced backyard that is a puppy paradise. I'm sure Zoey will be seeing them again!”
“Rachel was great, she made it convenient for me to drop my dog off for boarding, and when I picked him Up he jumped over to Rachel and gave her a big hug, I think he wanted to stay with her, he might like her more than me!!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I’m patient, reliable, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. I pay close attention to instructions, communicate regularly with updates and photos, and make sure every pet receives the care and attention they deserve. I work entirely from home, which gives me a highly flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. I can easily accommodate potty breaks, mid-day walks, and constant companionship throughout the week. My weekends are completely open for extended playtime, boarding, or overnight house sitting. When watching pets in your home, safety and respect for your space are my top priorities. I stick strictly to your established routines, double-check that all doors and gates are secure before and after walks, and keep in constant contact with daily photo updates to give you complete peace of mind. My home is a cozy, pet-friendly space where your dog's safety is my number one priority. While I do not have a fenced yard, I always keep dogs securely leashed during all outdoor bathroom breaks and walks. I strictly follow your feeding routines and provide constant supervision to keep them safe and happy.
“Hayley was so easy to work with and took great care of our dog! She provided plenty of updates and pictures throughout the stay! Our dog and hers got along perfectly. We will absolutely be using Hayley's services again in the future!”
“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!”
“Karma was great with Lilly!! She had a sore paw and start of ear infection and Karma took care of both!! She sent me lots of pics and updates and I could tell Lilly was happy:)”
“Colleen was absolutely wonderful! She has a calm demeanor and was so loving to my Poppy while away for a week. I received daily updates and loved seeing through photos the bond Poppy and her lab, Peaches, developed. In fact, tonight a yellow lab appeared on the TV in an ad and Poppy went wild barking. I think she already misses her new friend and it has at even been 24 hours. I will most certainly use Colleen for future boarding.”
“Amazing people! They watched my dog and sent amazing pictures. You can definately tell that my dog was as happy as he can be. Will definately be using them in the future!”
“When my girls are with Katie I know they are safe, happy, and healthy! They play and cuddle like true champions. I’m so pleased with Katie. Couldn’t be more thankful!”
“We were very pleased with the care given to our two dogs during our 7 day trip. Anna was great to keep us informed daily, text back quickly and stay on top of things. For the first time in many years, we actually had a relaxed vacation. We certainly will plan on using Anna again in the future.”
“Mike was fantastic. He took great care of our dog while we were out of the country. He sent us photo updates throughout the stay. His backyard is fully fenced in and beautiful. And Pickle and Burt were very welcoming to Theo. We will book Mike again when we need a sitter. Highly recommend”
