“Kayla was a great sitter for our pup. We needed help last minute, we did a meet and greet and then our dog stayed for a long weekend. She came home exhausted from all the fun and play. She was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Kayla for your sitting needs.”
“We had an excellent experience with our dog sitter! Sharon took wonderful care of our dogs and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. One thing we especially appreciated was how reliably they administered our dog's medication exactly as instructed. It's not always easy to find someone you can trust with a pet's medical needs, and they handled it with care and professionalism. We came home to a happy, healthy, and well-cared-for dogs. We highly recommend them and will definitely book with them again!”
“I felt totally at ease leaving our standard poodle with Andreja for a 4 day weekend. She sent photos of Ruby my dog, and I appreciated it and it gave me ease in leaving her. Totally trust her and would leave Ruby with her again. Vicki Hudak”
“Michael has been so wonderful with our Tiny Tim. Tiny loves going over to Michael’s house when we have something going on for the day. We will always use Michael as long as he still in the business.”
“Ralph was great! He’s friendly and fun and you can tell he genuinely loves dogs. Howie spent 5 nights at his house. Ralph always kept us updated and sent lots photos all day every day. Howie was spoiled with a giant backyard, lots of cuddling, treats and other pups to play with. We will definitely use Ralph again!!”
“Rose was such a blessing! We’re from out of town and needed an unexpected sitter last minute and she was there to save the day! Sent updates throughout the day and took super good care of our old pup! Would absolutely recommend her care to anybody!”
“We have taken our dog to Margaret a few times and would highly recommend! She took our dog for a walk in the park and sent photos during the stay. She has good quick communication. Well worth the cost knowing she is with someone who cares for her the same way we do!”
“We are so thankful to have found Annie! Thank you for treating our pup like family. Our dog and their dog became great friends. Everything was very easy, great communication and sent lots of updates. i would highly recommend Annie to anyone! Thank you so much for everything. We are so lucky to have found you!”
“Jenni and her family took amazing care of our dog, Olive Lucy. She was obviously part of the family by the end of her stay. Jenni took her on walks everyday and followed all instructions. Jenni sent great pictures and updates of Olive's time with them. Highly recommend!”
“This was Slink’s first time away from us. I appreciated the texts and pictures. I believe he enjoyed his time with Emily and her family. Thank you for taking care of Slink!”

About: I have a 5-year-old chocolate Lab boy and a 4-year-old Maine Coon boy. They’re best buddies, super friendly, and always happy to make new friends! I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was very young age. I work from home Monday through Friday with a flexible schedule. My cat and dog are best friends, they’re very good boys and always welcoming others. Fenced yard with 0.6 acer backyard, so the dog friend can run and play outside. While your pet is in our care, their safety is our top priority. However, accidents can occur. If your dog becomes injured or injures another animals pr person, We will notify you immediately. Owner is responsible for all veterinary costs and medical decisions. Aggression, biting, or repeated dangerous behavior may result in early pickup.
“Wendalyn and Keith took such good care of our girl Gracie! They sent multiple pictures and updates a day during our time away! I would definitely use their sitting services again and highly recommend them to others!”
“Very happy with Christina! She accommodated our situation when plans changed last minute! She took good care of our puppy and sent pictures and updates during her stay! Our puppy came home happy and healthy!”
“Derek is an excellent communicator! We are so thankful to Derek for taking such great care of our pup, Mango, while we were away for a week. We had a hard time finding the right dog sitter and did several meet-and-greets before we found Derek. He made us feel comfortable and confident that Mango would be in good hands. On the first day we dropped Mango off, I was honestly so anxious because it was our first time leaving her with a new dog sitter. But Derek immediately started sending us updates and photos throughout the day. It almost felt like we were never away from our pup. Throughout the entire week, Derek consistently kept us updated with pictures and messages. One day, he even prepared a fresh batch of poached walleye for his dogs and included Mango in their special “culinary experience.” It was such a thoughtful and fun surprise, and it showed how much he genuinely cares for every dog in his care. When we picked Mango up, she was so happy, and it was obvious she had an amazing time with Derek and his sweet dogs, Emma and Ruthie. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares for your pet and keeps you informed every step of the way, I highly recommend Derek. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Mango we’re so grateful!”
“Sabrina is absolutely fantastic! She took excellent care of my dog, followed all feeding and care instructions perfectly, and kept me updated the whole time. I received daily photos updates, and it was so comforting to see my pup playing and settling in perfectly. Highly recommend to anyone in the Avon Lake area”
About: I have loved dogs my whole life despite not being aloud to have any growing up. My parents just didn’t have the same love for animals as I did. Any chance I got I would go to friends houses or family’s houses and give their dogs love. It was very clear what my plan was after moving out of my mom’s house. Me and my now husband moved in together and very shortly after adopted our fur baby Luna!! Almost a year later we decided to add to the family and we got our other fur baby Salem. It’s been an amazing 3 years with Luna so far and 2.5 years with Salem!! After having them occasionally getting dog sat on rover for a few years now I realized I would love to be one of the awesome sitters to make your babies feel loved just like they are at home. While I feel as if I have more experience from being around other dogs my whole life I do think it’s only right to limit my experience to the years I’ve had with my own dogs. It is definitely different than just spending time with dogs. I also have decided to start with smaller dog breeds since I am currently pregnant and have a toddler. I am a stay at home mom with plenty of time to care for your pups, even more time once my husband gets home from work everyday. Me and my toddler love getting outside for walks and would make sure to have your pup join us. I will be taking a long break from sitting once our new baby is here. I will arrange my schedule once that is happening. I’m so excited to meet new pups and help out other owners! As I mentioned before, I am a stay at home mom with an active toddler who loves going on walks. I also have 2 dogs who have an active schedule so the pet care routine is already part of my daily routine as is the walking. I can cater to your pup however I need to if they have different needs. While your pups are in my home I can provide them exercise with walks and play time with our 2 dogs. They are very active dogs and we do walks often because we do not have a closed in back yard yet. We do plan on putting up a temporary fence around our back patio. Your dogs will get the same amount of attention and care as ours. My toddler is also very gentle with dogs of all sizes and if needed for older dogs we have child gates to create separate spaces. While yes, my husband and toddler are part of the household, I will be the sole caretaker of any dogs that I sit and that will not change. If it does change, my profile will be updated to a joint profile with my husband.
About: I’ve always wanted a bigger pack. Caring for your dog like family gives them a loving home away from home while fulfilling my lifelong passion for dogs. I work from home during the week so I have the flexibility to give your fur baby play and bathroom breaks as their needs dictate. I have a spacious backyard equipped with 20ft. tie outs for supervised fun in the sun. Two to theee walks a day in the Avondale neighborhood as weather permits.
“Joylyn was amazing with Rue. She sent us updates with pictures several times and really cared about her. We will definitely use her again. You can tell she cares about animals.”

“Brittany was great at communicating with me, especially because my cat is antisocial. I didn’t anticipate Brittany seeing her so she let me know that the food and water were being consumed and she was using the litter box. It made my travels much easier! I’d book with Brittany again.”

“Kayla took excellent care of Eddie. She introduced him to the pack and even got him accustomed to a cat, which doesn’t happen very often to him. We would rebook her without question again!”

I’m the owner/operator of a new pet transportation business and have taken care of puppies during 200+ mile trips.

I am excited to take care of fur babies at your home or mine! I have two cats of my own, a calico (7 yrs old) and a Siamese mix (6 yrs old), and they are amazing! 😻 I have a fenced in backyard and swimming pool (which can also be fenced off if desired by pet parent).

“Hong did a fabulous job taking care of Rover. He seemed like he did not want to leave her house when I picked him up. She took a ton of pictures so that I was able to see how much fun he was having during his stay. I will definitely be letting Rover stay with Hong again soon.”

About: I've owned and cared for a lot of different animals since I was 7, ferrets, rats, mice, fish, dogs, cats. I have senior animal care experience, and experience giving animals medication on a schedule. I've had my own dog Pinky since she was a puppy, so I'm sure I can handle any rambunctious pups! I have some cat stuff, even though I don't own a cat. I have a cat tree, scratching posts, cat toys. I'm a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to care for your beloved pets! I'm available for you to drop off/pick up your pets on weekends and weekdays from 8am - 10pm I have a Large fenced in back yard, and plenty of time to take dogs on walks. I have a small 5lbs Chihuahua named Pinky, she likes cats and medium to small dogs (big dogs make her a little nervous, but we are working on that). Pinky is crate trained, so if your fur baby is crate trained I'll have no problem letting them out in the morning, and putting them in at night. If you have a senior animal, or an animal that needs medication, let me know all of the care details, so I can keep them on schedule and keep them comfortable and cared for!
“Sharon was awesome!! I knew from the moment I stepped into her house that Dude was in good hands, she treated him like he was one of her own. She lives in a great little neighborhood close to downtown and the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame. I would highly recommend!!! Thank you Sharon!!!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Tom and Tolley (and their sweet and kind children) provided for Rudy! From the start, communication was excellent—they kept me updated and made me feel totally at ease. They have a great backyard that gave Rudy plenty of room to play and burn off energy. It’s such a relief to know Rudy was in such good hands. Highly recommend Tom and Tolley!”

“Marissa is awesome! She has been walking Lilly for over a week now, and I couldn't be happier. She is dependable, always comes in the time frame I ask, and I feel that she cares about my dog. She always gives me updates in addition to the card that Rover gives you. As a dog trainer myself, I have met several dog walkers who don't actually know how to walk a dog. You can rest assured that Marissa will properly walk your dog. I highly recommend that if you need a dog walker to look no further than Marissa.”

Everyone’s home needs to be respected, I will make sure that clients feel comfortable with me being in their homes and taking care of their cats and like my grandma used to say “take care, stay in your lane, and clean it up if you can”.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10! They are what get me through it all and I’m so excited to help you take care of yours! I will automatically fall in love like they were my own🫶🏻 I work my own hours so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups and/or dogs!! We can discuss boarding upon request!! :) I live in an apartment building, approximately three stories high. There is a doggy park near by which I can always take your pup to get some quality time and exercise into their day! Taking the best care of your fur baby has become such a hobbie of mine- I love to be their caretakers and create new fur besties!
“Bailey was great, we did a meet and greet with her prior to the 2 walks she did for our pup. Bailey was on time, sent pictures and updates, and we would be very comfortable using her again in the future!”
About: I take care of my two dogs named Ivy and Cooper I rescued them both when they were puppies Cooper is now 12 and Ivy is now 4. I walk them once a day. I cuddle and play with them a lot. I’m currently not working so my schedule is very flexible right now to watch and take the dogs for a walk five days a week. I do not have a fenced yard but I am always outside when my dogs are outside I crate my older dog at night I let them out first thing in the morning and feed them first thing and fill up their water bowls.
About: I have been a registered veterinary technician for 9 years. I specifically work with emergency and critical care. I of course have my own animals that I have cared for 12 years. I have four dogs, two cats, a betta fish, some shrimp, and a snail. Animals are my passion and I will treat yours like my own. I only work three nights a week, which leaves long weekends available for services. I have pretty open availability to suit your needs. I’m very willing to work with your schedule. Whether you need over night care or daily walks, I'm confident we can arrange something. Unfortunately at this time, I will only have services outside of my home. I will care for your furry loved ones like they are my own.

“Kayla was a great sitter for our pup. We needed help last minute, we did a meet and greet and then our dog stayed for a long weekend. She came home exhausted from all the fun and play. She was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Kayla for your sitting needs.”
“We had an excellent experience with our dog sitter! Sharon took wonderful care of our dogs and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. One thing we especially appreciated was how reliably they administered our dog's medication exactly as instructed. It's not always easy to find someone you can trust with a pet's medical needs, and they handled it with care and professionalism. We came home to a happy, healthy, and well-cared-for dogs. We highly recommend them and will definitely book with them again!”

“Very happy with Christina! She accommodated our situation when plans changed last minute! She took good care of our puppy and sent pictures and updates during her stay! Our puppy came home happy and healthy!”
“Derek is an excellent communicator! We are so thankful to Derek for taking such great care of our pup, Mango, while we were away for a week. We had a hard time finding the right dog sitter and did several meet-and-greets before we found Derek. He made us feel comfortable and confident that Mango would be in good hands. On the first day we dropped Mango off, I was honestly so anxious because it was our first time leaving her with a new dog sitter. But Derek immediately started sending us updates and photos throughout the day. It almost felt like we were never away from our pup. Throughout the entire week, Derek consistently kept us updated with pictures and messages. One day, he even prepared a fresh batch of poached walleye for his dogs and included Mango in their special “culinary experience.” It was such a thoughtful and fun surprise, and it showed how much he genuinely cares for every dog in his care. When we picked Mango up, she was so happy, and it was obvious she had an amazing time with Derek and his sweet dogs, Emma and Ruthie. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares for your pet and keeps you informed every step of the way, I highly recommend Derek. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Mango we’re so grateful!”
“Sabrina is absolutely fantastic! She took excellent care of my dog, followed all feeding and care instructions perfectly, and kept me updated the whole time. I received daily photos updates, and it was so comforting to see my pup playing and settling in perfectly. Highly recommend to anyone in the Avon Lake area”
About: I’ve always wanted a bigger pack. Caring for your dog like family gives them a loving home away from home while fulfilling my lifelong passion for dogs. I work from home during the week so I have the flexibility to give your fur baby play and bathroom breaks as their needs dictate. I have a spacious backyard equipped with 20ft. tie outs for supervised fun in the sun. Two to theee walks a day in the Avondale neighborhood as weather permits.
“Joylyn was amazing with Rue. She sent us updates with pictures several times and really cared about her. We will definitely use her again. You can tell she cares about animals.”
“Tom and Tolley took excellent care of Kirby and sent pictures every day. I had no question that Kirby was in great care and was loving his “vacation”. This was our first experience with Rover and we chose the best sitters! We will definitely use them again.”
“Julie is amazing! The moment we met her and her family we knew we could trust her with Mamba (our fur baby)! You could see that he immediately felt comfortable in their home. He even barked at US when we came to pick him back up.. haha we had great communication throughout his stay with her and couldn’t wish for a better experience! I’m sure Mamba misses her already! Thank you again so so so much Julie for taking good care of our Baby. We will definitely book with Julie for his next stay. 10/10 !!”
