Personalized care for your dog or cat - Massillon

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Massillon
“Kristin was great and provided Abby with a safe, family environment with lots of stimulation. It's harder with a puppy who is just learning about life (and where to poo/pee!) and this was an unscheduled trip for me, but Kristin came through. Thanks, Kristin!”

“Gail is absolutely awesome! She gave the girls so much attention and has an amazing back yard for them to run and play. It was such a relief to know that they were being so well cared for while we were traveling. I absolutely plan to use her again in the future. 5 star service!”
“My senior pup just got home from a wonderful weekend with Patti! He had the best care and we received regular updates and photos. My dog has vision issues among other senior ailments and needs medication at meals. Patti was so patient and helped him navigate the new space, always making sure he was safe. We felt so comfortable with Igor in Patti’s care and look forward to him visiting her again!”

“Melissa was an amazing dog sitter! She was very flexible with our schedule and responded right away when I reached out looking for someone to watch Bruno. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and she kept me updated with photos while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Bruno also had a great time playing with her dog—they got along wonderfully! It was obvious he was well cared for and comfortable during his stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Melissa again, and she’ll definitely be one of my first choices the next time we need a dog sitter. Highly recommend!”

“We loved Vicki and her husband and so did Rudy! He ran off with her as soon as we got there and that was enough to put me at ease. He had a wonderful time and they treated him as their own. She sent pics during his stay and was in touch often, which I appreciated so much! Her home is lovely and we will 100% be bringing Rudy back for future stays! :)”

“Athena was very responsive and understanding of Bella’s needs. She also kept in contact with me and even sent me pictures. I would highly recommend her and plan to use her in the future.”

“It was Dasol's first time with Alicia, so we were worried whether she would be okay at an unfamiliar environment. But Alicia made every effort to make Dasol feel more at home, contacting us on a frequent basis. It was comforting to know that Dasol was in good hands. Thank you, Alicia!”

“Rikki is great Our dog Taz ‘makes himself at home’ he is so comfortable with her and her family This is our 2nd time utilizing her services- it was for 2 weeks Taz didn’t care when we left & was happy & playful when we returned I highly recommend Rikki”

“Melissa was in a word, Fantastic!! Our two dogs immediately could sense she was kind and caring. The frequent updates provided a nice picture of the wonderful time our pets were having. I would highly recommend her and will definitely book her for any future needs.”

“Our first time using Rover and leaving our puppy with someone other than family... and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! Tiffany was wonderful with communication and updates and pictures! Winnie had the best time and didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend!!”

“Priyankaa is amazing! She truly cared for my cat like she was one of her own! I loved receiving creative updates, pictures and videos while I was gone. I am so grateful she was able to care for Leuci while I was gone!”

“Tricia was excellent with our 2 year old Weimaraner Tucker. He has never never been boarded or stayed away from home and tends to be timid or anxious. She sent pictures to let me know he was doing well throughout his entire stay. I will definitely utilize Tricia again, she made me feel very comfortable that our guy was in great hands while we were away.”

“Theresa and her husband took such great care of our Niah on a last minute request. Niah hasn't stayed with too many strangers but Theresa and her husband did such a great job making her feel comfortable and making sure she adjusted and keeping me updated! I would highly recommend them for your fur babies!!!”

“Ozzie had a quick one night stay and absolutely moved the stay. We're from VA and had a 2 day stop to catch up with college friends. Ozzie is a 5 month old puppy and had lots of play time. When he got in the car he fell a sleep almost immediately. Thanks for taking care of Ozzie.”


“Savannah was great! She welcomed Charlie with open arms and an open heart! Couldn't have asked for a better caretaker! Five stars just doesn't do her justice...should be ten stars! Thank you Savannah and family! Kathryn and Milt”

“Diane is an excellent pet sitter! She was very communicative while we were gone - sending photos and updates on how our kitties were doing. She cared for them like they were her own. The litter boxes and house were in great shape when we returned as well. I highly recommend Diane!”

“This was my first time using Rover. Emily was very responsive and professional. She was prompt and did a great job with my kitties. I would use Emily again for sure!”

“Brittany was very kind and attentive and did a great job looking in on our cat during our time away. She sent us a picture and update every scheduled day and attempted to spend some time with our typically shy cat. Highly recommended!”

I am available for dog walking on weekdays during the late afternoon and evening and am also available on the weekends.

“Macy was great! I was nervous about leaving my 2 senior cats who are now needing medication, but she was able to get them both to take their pills with very little trouble. They were happy and healthy upon my return.”

“Alicia is always dependable and takes such good care of my cats. My cats are not cuddle buddies, they're fraidy cats and Alicia is always able to let me know & see that they're doing ok while I'm away.”

“We were a first time Rover user and Kristin was outstanding. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She took great care of our cat during the scheduled drop-in times. Highly recommended!”

“Isis was great with our old and big girl! Our dog has a hard time with our couple of steps and Isis came over to help take her out and in while we were away. She was kind and patient and did what we needed. We are very happy we booked her and will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve self-trained my own dogs and I’m comfortable reinforcing basic obedience commands like sit, stay, leave it, and leash manners (especially helpful for puppies and energetic dogs). I also have experience caring for a dog with seizures who requires medication, so I’m confident with administering meds and supporting pets with special routines or extra care needs. In addition to my own pets, I’ve regularly helped neighbors and friends with pet sitting and daily care. I’m attentive, calm, and safety-focused, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I also groom and bathe my own dogs, and while full grooming isn’t typically part of my services, I’m absolutely willing to help if an urgent situation arises. I’m self-employed and work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of needs. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks and check-ins, including hourly relief when needed, and I can do multiple drop-ins throughout the day. Because I’m home often, I’m also able to give pets consistent attention, supervision, and routine support. Care looks a little different depending on whether I’m in your home or mine, but my top priorities are always safety, routine, and clear communication. I expect to communicate frequently during your pet's visit with me. In my home: For daycare or boarding, I require that dogs are crate trained, since dogs will be crated overnight and anytime I’m not home. I also require up-to-date vaccine records to keep everyone safe. I have two dogs of my own, so I carefully monitor introductions and compatibility. We do have a yard, but it is not fenced, so all outdoor time is supervised and on-leash. In your home: During our meet & greet, we’ll go over your pet’s routine in detail (feeding, potty breaks, walks, medication, etc.). I ask that any important care instructions are also listed in your pet’s Rover profile in writing, so everything is clear and consistent. I’m happy to follow your household routines as close as possible during the visit.
About: Hello! I am a huge animal lover and have been around cats and dogs all of my life, including with the addition of my own furry-son who I adopted while in college. I’m comfortable around all sizes, ages, or any combination of the two. My schedule is extremely flexible as I continue my education, so I can accommodate early mornings, late nights, and anything in between! Thank you for checking out my profile and I hope to meet your furry family member soon! I’m currently a student pilot who sets my own schedule, so I am super flexible to be available any time of the day/week to take care of your pet! Living in my parents home means there are multiple animal-loving people to keep your pet company alongside a couple of other friendly cats! That said, I can easily keep animals separated if that is preferred. In your home, I will take deliberate care to be a calm, cheerful visitor for your pet and to leave your home as perfect as I found it!
“We had such a great experience with Chris! They took incredible care of our dog, Myles, over the weekend and treated him like their own. Myles needs medication twice a day, and Chris made sure it was given consistently and without any problems. We loved receiving regular updates and pictures, and it meant so much to know he was happy, eating well, and staying on his routine. Chris gave him so much love and attention, and we truly felt at peace while we were away. Highly recommend!!!”

About: I have taken care of fur babies since as long as I can remember! I’m currently a dog momma to a rescue named Louie, but before that I have helped care for multiple dogs and cats in my lifetime. I come from a family of animal lovers-they currently have a tortoise and a dog as well! I have house sat/walked for numerous families in my hometown, and I am looking to care for animals while in graduate school! I am a current student within the Duke school of medicine and I have a pretty flexible schedule with my afternoons free almost daily. Outside of classes, my research is on my own schedule which allows me to take care of furry friends! I am also the owner of a very sweet, very loving dog named Louie! *If you are booking house sitting* IMPORTANT TO KNOW: Since I am also a dog owner, if house sitting is a service that is being booked-you must understand that I will be bringing my dog Louie with me to house sit as well. We are a package deal! Louie is the sweetest dog you will meet and gets along great with every dog or cat he has met. If your animal may not get along well with him, or you would not want my dog in your home then please do not book a house sitting service with me! All other services I am more than happy to provide without my dog present!

About: Hi! I’m Corey — a pet-loving guy who truly understands how deeply animals become family. I’ve spent the last 15 years caring for dogs, including two beloved seniors who recently passed in 2021 and 2025. Betty, an English Bulldog who was “thicker than a bowl of oatmeal,” and Sadie, my blue-tick coonhound/beagle mix who was a true treat connoisseur with a heart of gold. Losing them has been incredibly hard… but also a powerful reminder of just how special the bond with a pet really is. Caring for other people’s pets has become a form of healing and therapy for me. I miss the snoring, the wagging tails, the playtime, and the pure happiness a dog brings into a home. Being around animals fills me with joy, and I pour that love right back into the pups I watch. I have hands-on experience with: • Senior dog care (medications, patience, mobility support, and gentle comfort) • High-energy dogs who need walks and structured play • Bulldogs, hounds, and every personality in between • Smaller breeds like Chihuahuas and Dachshunds Your dog isn’t just a “dog” to me — they’re family, someone’s whole heart. And while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same gentleness, humor, consistency, and affection that I gave to Betty and Sadie. I work from home and can provide exceptional care! Your dog is my main concern during the day and evening and will be spoiled and loved! I will treat your pet as my own and follow all instructions provided to me about your dog(s) routine and schedule. I truly care and want to make your experience easy and stress free.
About: I have two dogs of my own. Both are very friendly and get along with other dogs. They have been to the dog park multiple times. I am home most weekends, evenings, and throughout the day on weekdays. I will treat your dogs like my own. I have flexible rates if you need me to watch more than 1 of your dogs. I have flexible rates if you need them watched for an extended amount of time. I have a son who has been raised with dogs since birth so he will treat them well and is not afraid of dogs at all. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. I look forward to helping care for your fur baby. I am available mornings, evenings, and weekends. I also have flexibility to leave work for an extended lunch. I have the flexibility needed to care for your pets. I have friendly pets who are used to other animals.

“Our pup Maggie was in great hands with Kirsten J. We have never left her alone or have had her boarded with anyone until now. Communication was terrific and Maggie came home happy and exhausted from playing all day long 🙂 we will definitely have Kirsten watch her again in the future.”

About: I've been around animals my entire life. Growing up, my family had two litters of Old English Sheepdogs. While I wasn't involved in the breeding process, I helped care for all of the puppies until they went to their forever homes, along with our three adult Sheepdogs. I also grew up around our family's three horses and have had two cats over the years. Today, I'm the proud pet parent of two Huskies—my boys, who I lovingly call my babies because they're truly part of my family. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I'd give my own. I have a flexible schedule and work from home, which allows me to be available whenever you need dependable care for your pet. My flexible routine gives me plenty of time to provide your furry family member with the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. Pets are family too. I treat them with great care and follow any instructions provided. I can go on walks, play, have set feeding schedules, whatever is needed. I also love taking photos so sending them to clients would be a must. I want to keep everyone updated on their fur baby's experience with me.

I started dog sitting when I was 17 years old. Every client that I have worked for has asked me to come back and I continue to work for them. I love all different kinds of dogs. I have worked with small and large dogs. Along with dogs as young as 1 year olds, all the way up to 14 year old dogs I am a college student, so I can be with the dog(s) while I’m home doing homework. I only go to school 3 days a week, and I only go for a few hours. So I will be able to spend plenty of time with your dogs! I have one fun and hyper dog, he has an electric fence so he loves to run around the yard. I love to take breaks from doing homework to play with him.

About: I have been dog walking and house sitting since I was in 6th grade! I wanted to help and earn money for my parents so we could afford groceries! Over time I grew to love watching over animals and their homes! I love every single animal I have come by and absolutely adore taking care of them and getting to know each and every spunky trait they have! I have a very flexible Hybrid job! I work from home Everyday except for Wednesdays! On my office day I work in Twinsburg from 8:30a-5p. If your pup cannot be left alone for 7-8 hours, let me know in advance so I can request to work from home on my office day :) Being active is one of the most bonding experiences between you and an animal! Most importantly I make sure to ask about their animals activity and if they like certain areas to walk in or play! Making sure to follow an animals regular schedule is super important because it can be stressful for them to have a new person in their home and having that person follow their routine puts the furry friends at ease as well as pet parents :) Proper care is of upmost importance !

I also groom and bathe my own dogs, and while full grooming isn’t typically part of my services, I’m absolutely willing to help if an urgent situation arises. I’m self-employed and work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of needs. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks and check-ins, including hourly relief when needed, and I can do multiple drop-ins throughout the day. Because I’m home often, I’m also able to give pets consistent attention, supervision, and routine support. Care looks a little different depending on whether I’m in your home or mine, but my top priorities are always safety, routine, and clear communication. I expect to communicate frequently during your pet's visit with me. In my home: For daycare or boarding, I require that dogs are crate trained, since dogs will be crated overnight and anytime I’m not home. I also require up-to-date vaccine records to keep everyone safe. I have two dogs of my own, so I carefully monitor introductions and compatibility. We do have a yard, but it is not fenced, so all outdoor time is supervised and on-leash. In your home: During our meet & greet, we’ll go over your pet’s routine in detail (feeding, potty breaks, walks, medication, etc.). I ask that any important care instructions are also listed in your pet’s Rover profile in writing, so everything is clear and consistent. I’m happy to follow your household routines as close as possible during the visit.
About: I have had a special companion by my side since I was 5 years old. I cannot imagine living life without a dog by my side. I just left my job of 23 years at Aultman Hospital to pursue what makes me happy inside, and that is working with animals. I am currently enrolled in a holistic canine massage therapy course and am learning techniques to help dogs with injuries, arthritis and joint pain. I will treat your pets like I would treat my own and respect your privacy and property while caring for your fur babies. Please email me with any questions you may have. Thanks so much for visiting my profile. I am currently available to watch your pups full time on Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturday. On Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays I work from 8:30 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. I would need to leave your pets alone in my home on those 3 days of the week. Please message me with any questions you may have. Thank you! I have a boxer named Buefferd, I adopted him from the dog pound in 2015. We jokingly call him King Tut in our house because he rules the roost in our home. Buefferd is super spoiled and enjoys his day's leisure. :) ***UPDATE*** Buefferd recently passed away at the end of August 2024. We are dearly missing his presence. I can now watch your pets for overnight stays at my home in Perry township. We have a doggie door with a small fenced-in area if your pet is used to this accomodation. If not, I will gladly chaperone your pet on a leash in our large back yard.

I have 4 friendly dogs; one who is Canine Good Citizen certified that I enjoy taking into nursing homes and schools to support and uplift others!

About: I'm a very reliable, caring, and responsible dog lover! I have been pet sitting for friends and family for around 12 years (big and little dogs, high anxiety, nervous dogs, dogs with medical needs, dietary needs). I don’t own any animals currently and would take care of your pet like my own. I enjoy going on walks, going to dog parks, playing fetch, tug, playing with mind/strategy toys, and giving healthy treats to help train a certain trick or correct a behavior. I enjoy playing one on one with dogs, or several dogs at once. I look forward to working with you to accommodate any requests to make you and your pet/s comfortable. Dogs are part of a family and I hope you chose me to be part of their lives! I currently set my own work schedule, so I'm very flexible with what you and your pets needs are! I will follow your instructions so your pet is comfortable with their regular process of how they do things. I'm looking forward to working with you and hanging out with your lovely pets!! I am able to follow any instructions needed for your pets. I want them to be comfortable in their regular routine, especially with a new person taking care of them! Their comfort and the owners comfort are very important to me.

“Gail is absolutely awesome! She gave the girls so much attention and has an amazing back yard for them to run and play. It was such a relief to know that they were being so well cared for while we were traveling. I absolutely plan to use her again in the future. 5 star service!”
“My senior pup just got home from a wonderful weekend with Patti! He had the best care and we received regular updates and photos. My dog has vision issues among other senior ailments and needs medication at meals. Patti was so patient and helped him navigate the new space, always making sure he was safe. We felt so comfortable with Igor in Patti’s care and look forward to him visiting her again!”

“Melissa was an amazing dog sitter! She was very flexible with our schedule and responded right away when I reached out looking for someone to watch Bruno. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and she kept me updated with photos while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Bruno also had a great time playing with her dog—they got along wonderfully! It was obvious he was well cared for and comfortable during his stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Melissa again, and she’ll definitely be one of my first choices the next time we need a dog sitter. Highly recommend!”

“We loved Vicki and her husband and so did Rudy! He ran off with her as soon as we got there and that was enough to put me at ease. He had a wonderful time and they treated him as their own. She sent pics during his stay and was in touch often, which I appreciated so much! Her home is lovely and we will 100% be bringing Rudy back for future stays! :)”

“Athena was very responsive and understanding of Bella’s needs. She also kept in contact with me and even sent me pictures. I would highly recommend her and plan to use her in the future.”

“It was Dasol's first time with Alicia, so we were worried whether she would be okay at an unfamiliar environment. But Alicia made every effort to make Dasol feel more at home, contacting us on a frequent basis. It was comforting to know that Dasol was in good hands. Thank you, Alicia!”

“Rikki is great Our dog Taz ‘makes himself at home’ he is so comfortable with her and her family This is our 2nd time utilizing her services- it was for 2 weeks Taz didn’t care when we left & was happy & playful when we returned I highly recommend Rikki”

“Melissa was in a word, Fantastic!! Our two dogs immediately could sense she was kind and caring. The frequent updates provided a nice picture of the wonderful time our pets were having. I would highly recommend her and will definitely book her for any future needs.”

“Our first time using Rover and leaving our puppy with someone other than family... and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! Tiffany was wonderful with communication and updates and pictures! Winnie had the best time and didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend!!”

“Priyankaa is amazing! She truly cared for my cat like she was one of her own! I loved receiving creative updates, pictures and videos while I was gone. I am so grateful she was able to care for Leuci while I was gone!”

“Tricia was excellent with our 2 year old Weimaraner Tucker. He has never never been boarded or stayed away from home and tends to be timid or anxious. She sent pictures to let me know he was doing well throughout his entire stay. I will definitely utilize Tricia again, she made me feel very comfortable that our guy was in great hands while we were away.”

“Ozzie had a quick one night stay and absolutely moved the stay. We're from VA and had a 2 day stop to catch up with college friends. Ozzie is a 5 month old puppy and had lots of play time. When he got in the car he fell a sleep almost immediately. Thanks for taking care of Ozzie.”


“Savannah was great! She welcomed Charlie with open arms and an open heart! Couldn't have asked for a better caretaker! Five stars just doesn't do her justice...should be ten stars! Thank you Savannah and family! Kathryn and Milt”

About: I love any type of animal and will provide it with the best care possible. We would go on long walks and play all day! Big, small, medium you name it I will love your dog or cat! I have been around dogs my whole life and would love to care for yours. I am currently a nurse in the area and use Rover when I am away at work so I would love to give back to the community and watch other pups while you are away! I know how difficult it is to find a trustworthy and reliable sitter and always want to treat your pups like my own! I will make sure to treat your home and pet with respect and follow all instructions left to properly care for your fur baby and make sure they get everything they need!
About: I have been dog walking and house sitting since I was in 6th grade! I wanted to help and earn money for my parents so we could afford groceries! Over time I grew to love watching over animals and their homes! I love every single animal I have come by and absolutely adore taking care of them and getting to know each and every spunky trait they have! I have a very flexible Hybrid job! I work from home Everyday except for Wednesdays! On my office day I work in Twinsburg from 8:30a-5p. If your pup cannot be left alone for 7-8 hours, let me know in advance so I can request to work from home on my office day :) Being active is one of the most bonding experiences between you and an animal! Most importantly I make sure to ask about their animals activity and if they like certain areas to walk in or play! Making sure to follow an animals regular schedule is super important because it can be stressful for them to have a new person in their home and having that person follow their routine puts the furry friends at ease as well as pet parents :) Proper care is of upmost importance !
