“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.”
“Haley was an amazing host! Very communicative and kept us informed through the entire visit. Our Copper really seemed to enjoy his weekend stay! We will definitely use Haley’s services again! 5 ⭐️”
“They are amazing ! This is the first time we ever left our 12 year old dog. They sent me daily pictures and updates. He truly loved it there! We will be using them again and again!”
“This was our second booking with Keksey. She's super easy going and great with our fur baby. Her dog, Mozilla, also seems to enjoy Lilys company. We got some pics of the dogs playing together and some chill time pics too. Im an anxious dog dad because I worry about my dog when im not around but Kelsey has taken great care of her on both occasions. I highly recommend her anyone who needs care for their baby. Just dont take any of the dates I need. 🤣”
“Anghella was amazing! She was available on short notice, she was close, and Obi was awesome too! There was a miscommunication on my end and she was able to accomodate my needs. After meeting Anghella I did not feel anxious or worried about leaving our pup with her. Thank you Anghella!!! We will be using her in the future.”
“Ariel is wonderful!! Her own pups are so friendly and loved our Daisy. She probably felt like she was at summer camp. Ariel has a fenced in yard so the dogs can be out frequently. She sent a ton of photos and is a great communicator. Seeing our fur baby happy in the new environment was so comforting. The fact that she is so close to where we live is just a bonus. She will be our go-to from now on!”

“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”

About: ✨ Personalized Cat Care ✨ Hello, friends and fur babies! I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and have been a trusted Rover sitter since May 2023. While I grew up around dogs and volunteered at an animal shelter in high school, my professional pet-sitting journey has naturally led me to specialize in personalized, high-quality cat care. I’ve had the opportunity to care for cats of all personalities and needs, including multi-cat households, senior cats, and shy or anxious kitties. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, following detailed care routines, and providing patient, attentive support tailored to each cat’s temperament. My approach focuses on consistency, comfort, and enrichment.

This helps prevent any miscommunication about expectations, ensures your pet is comfortable with me, and confirms that I’m a good fit for your family.
“Absolutely outstanding with our pup, sent us pictures of Zoey during her stay and was super attentive and thorough to our pets needs. Will book with Kaitlynn again! Thank you!”
“We are returning customers and when we were planning for an out-of-town trip, there was no question of where to go for boarding for our pup.

“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!”
“Jessica has been fantastic during drop-in visits for our dog Buddy! It was clear the second she walked in our home that she knows and loves dogs. Buddy was instantly comfortable with her thanks to her warm and welcoming demeanor. Knowing Buddy has someone that we can trust to drop-in while we are at work is very comforting. Highly recommend Jessica!!”
“I have two cats, one being diabetic and Katie was able to help me last minute when my sitter fell through. She sent me multiple updates and took care of everything I needed! Would definitely recommend Katie again!”
“My Miss Kitty can be a real handful. Martin was very good with her. He sent pictures and let me know that she was warming up to him. By the end of the week, she actually allowed him to pet her and would hang out with him.”
“She was a wonderful cat sitter. She went on the days when she scheduled to feed, water, clean the litter box and play with them. I will keep her in mind, the next time we need a cat sitter, and hopefully she will be available. I really can’t say enough things able her.”

About: I’ve taken care of my own cats for 14 years, keeping them purring all the while. I can temp any cat into being brushed with a handful of temptations treats and have no issue scrubbing their litter box to give them a luxury bathroom experience. I genuinely love cats and would be lucky to meet your furry friend!
“First time with Ariel. She was very personable. We talked about my cats requirements and she agreed with everything since I was having Elvis to stay overnight for the first time. Throughout the day, Ariel sent many pictures to show how Elvis was adapting. I would recommend Ariel to anyone that wants their pet to be treated with care and love!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I’ve grown up with 2-4 dogs at a time my entire life. I’ve taken care of cats, fish and even bunnies and even saved a baby bird once. Currently, I have 2 dogs of my own and they’re my best friends. Pets are the best thing anyone can ask for and it’s always been my passion to help animals. My main goal in life has always been to open an animal shelter. I’m one to always try to save injured animals or re-home lost, neglected or abused ones. With extra time in my schedule that I haven’t had in years, there’s nothing I’d be more passionate about and enjoy more. I’m currently working full time M-F until 4:30pm. I can walk or provide drop in visits during the week anytime after 5pm. I am now available most weekends anytime after 10am and can stay the night with your pet Friday and/or Saturday nights when needed if I’m available. I am willing to do any services in/at the client’s home. I can take them for car rides and on walks or to the park if permitted by the owner. I will follow all feeding instructions and can give baths and brush the pets as needed.
“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!”
“Olivia did an amazing job with our skittish cat. It takes a lot for him to warm up to people, and he clearly liked her — which says a lot. She was responsive, followed all directions, sent updates and pictures, and was very friendly. We felt completely comfortable while we were away and would absolutely use her again. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren is the most caring and reliable pet sitter to have for your animals!!!! She contacted me back in a timely manner, she was on time which her check in’s and sent daily pictures of our pets. Thank you so much Lauren for giving my husband and I peace of mind while we were away and giving our cats the care and attention they needed!! Mike & Krissy”
“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.”

“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!”

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.

About: Hi, I’m Lora! I have experience with a wide range of dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments—from larger breeds like labs and huskies to including smaller, high-energy or more timid dogs who may need a little extra patience. I live in a house with a yard and lead an active lifestyle, so your dog will get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention based on their needs. I’m attentive, patient, and reliable, and I always aim to keep your dog comfortable and cared for while you’re away. My current routine is mainly focused on keeping up with grad school. I am enrolled full time in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at John Carroll University. I have classes 3x a week for 2.5-3 hours. This would be the only time I would need to leave your pet(s) alone. I live in a 2 story home within walking distance of a park suitable for dogs. I do not have any personal pets in my home. If you are looking for me to host, I live alone so it would just be your pet(s) and me. I will be respectful of not having guests over when I am caring for your pet(s) to ensure they’re given proper attention and feel comfortable in their environment. I have a partially fenced back yard and my front yard is not fenced.
“Kyle was amazing with our 10 month old Bernese! He is extremely patient and understanding, especially when it comes to a high energy puppy! He sends multiple updates throughout the day to make sure you know your pup is being well taken care of :) We will definitely continue to use Kyle for daycare and other puppy needs, he treats Bogey so well and is very in tune with what he may need throughout the day ◡̈”
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.

“I know my fur baby is safe, loved, and cared for with Cheryl. She is very thoughtful and sends beautiful pictures and updates of my baby Owen. She’s detailed orientated and safety is priority for her. I love that I can go to work with a peace of mind knowing he’s having so much fun! He was so excited to be dropped off today. I’m so grateful I found her.”
About: I have been dog sitting for 10+ years, all shapes, ages & sizes.

“Austin saved the day, again. We had church and a birthday celebration to attend, and Lewey was kept in Austin’s care for the day. Austin sent us pictures, and we could tell Lewey had a great time. So thankful for the services offered. Lewey was in a safe environment which made it easy for us to enjoy our time.”

About: I’ve taken care of family pets my whole life, including Labrador retrievers, rescues, and Pembroke Welsh corgis. I love all dogs, playing, walking and cuddling with them! I currently work at a hospital (3 12hr shifts). On days off, I can pop in whenever, and days that I work would be early in the morning and later in the evening. I know how to properly feed dogs, safely walk them with traffic and other dogs, and play with them to ensure they are getting by exercise and socialization time.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. Being very active, I enjoy making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need through walks, playtime, and engagement. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s caring for a high-energy puppy or making sure an older dog is comfortable and well looked after. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize their safety, routine, and happiness. Pet care fits well into my routine because I’m currently training for the National Football League, which keeps me active and disciplined with my schedule. My training sessions are structured, so I have consistent availability throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. Staying active means I enjoy getting dogs outside for exercise, playtime, and walks while making sure they receive reliable care and attention. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep pets on leash during walks, and make sure they’re in a safe environment at all times. I pay attention to their behavior, energy levels, and comfort so they feel relaxed and secure while in my care.

“Melissa was an absolute lifesaver for us. We had an unexpected situation come up, and she stepped in on short notice to take care of Reggie, Stella, and Mayhem without hesitation. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and incredibly accommodating. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such capable and caring hands during a stressful time. We could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We’ll absolutely be booking with Melissa again and are so grateful for her help when we needed it most. Highly recommend!”
About: I very much enjoy engaging with and taking care of all types of animals and I have owned and cared for animals since childhood. I have the most experience with cats and dogs but have owned and looked after a range of other pets as well. I can provide the appropriate level of care and attention to your pets that you are looking for and am more than happy to provide as many photos or updates for you to feel good about being away. From puppies to elderly pets I have cared for all ages and types of pets! My goal is to get as many regular clients as possible, so I am very open to working through rates that work for both sides for ongoing or regular services. I have a large SUV so i can also do drop off and pickup if that would be helpful. Because I work from home full-time, I'm able to offer a level of flexibility. I can usually accommodate early mornings, evenings, last-minute requests, and everything in between — just ask! Punctuality and reliability are something I take seriously, so you can always count on me to be there when I say I will. My home is welcoming for all animals and there is an acre and a half in the back with plenty of room to play. I am active and engaged with animals and will make sure any routine or special care requirements are followed.
“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!”

"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.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and responsible dog lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I understand how important it is to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your dog company, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure both you and your dog feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I build my schedule around being consistent and dependable. I’m available in the mornings for feeding, walks, and check-ins before starting my day, and I’m home in the afternoons, which gives me time to spend with dogs for exercise, play, and attention. I do work part-time in the evenings about five days a week, but I plan around that so dogs are never left without care for long. Before work, I make sure they’ve had a walk, time outside, and attention, and when I get home, I stick to an evening routine with another walk, feeding if needed, and time to wind down. On my days off and weekends, I have much more flexibility, so I’m able to give extra time, longer walks, and more one-on-one attention. Overall, I’m very structured with my time, so even with a busy schedule, pet care is something I prioritize and stay consistent with. Your dog won’t just be “watched”—they’ll be cared for like they’re my own. I keep a consistent, structured routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Throughout the day, I make sure they’re never bored or ignored—whether that’s playtime, walks, or just hanging out so they have company. I pay close attention to their mood and energy, so high-energy dogs stay active and tired, while calmer dogs get a more relaxed, easygoing day. I stick closely to your dog’s normal routine and any specific instructions, because I know the little details matter. Bottom line: your dog gets consistency, attention, and someone who actually cares—not just someone stopping by.
“As new Rover users Rachel helped us through the process and was very flexible with our schedules. We’re grateful that she’s working with us. Charlie is looking forward to seeing her every day.”

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: My name is Keri and I have been around animals since I was a baby. I live in a two bedroom house with my husband. Every animal has their own unique character and I know they are like family. So, I will give them love and care as if I were taking care of your child because I know how much they mean to you. All types of animals are welcome in my home. I care for people and animals, so I will be there if you want someone as your regular walker or sitter. I believe in honesty and kindness, there's enough chaos in this world. Why add to it? My schedule is wide open most days. If there is anything that I am not able to do, I will let you know. I am currently starting 2024 fall classes. I make sure doors are closed and they are always outside with a leash. They will get plenty of attention and treats from me !
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 have owned 3 dogs and a cat in my life. My fiancée and I currently own a Siamese cat that we adopted from the OKC Animal Shelter. We previously fostered two kittens. I'm reliable, accountable, and punctual! And above all, I am CPR certified for both humans and animals. You can count on me! I'm currently working part-time, but I will definitely try to work around your needs! I am open to any and all animals! Let me know what availability you have and we can work with that! I do have a cat crate and some cat treats and toys. I do also have dog treats and chew toys. I am very gentle and know how to approach animals in a way that does not make me appear threatening and will earn their trust.

“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.”

About: Hello! My name is Maria and I am very excited to meet your furry friend! I’ve raised 2 large dogs and 2 small dogs so I am comfortable with any size pet. I also worked at a doggie day care center for a year and a half where I worked with all size dogs for 8 plus hours at a time and facilitated friendly play so I am able to handle multiple dogs or cats at a time! am available for dog walking or a stop in visits. I live in the mentor area but am willing to travel as well. Please let me know if this is the type of sitter you are looking for! I work as a nurse so my schedule is pretty flexible. I care for my own pets with walks, park visits, and agility. I also enjoy caring for other dogs with walks or acting as a dog sitter. I am always cautious when taking care of pets in my home or another persons home. I understand that allowing someone into your home can be nerve racking so I am always sure to communicate as much as I can with home owners and follow their specific instructions to ensure the visit goes as smooth as possible.
“Kyle and his partner were great with our dog over a long holiday weekend! It was our first time with Kyle, and he listened to us about all our dog's quirks and needs. We got frequent updates from him and photos! Our dog got multiple walks every day, lots of couch cuddles, and all of our concerns were addressed! We will definitely be using Kyles services again!”

It’s nice to have peace of mind leaving a family member for a few days! thanks Steven!”

About: I have watched my cousin's shi tzu many times for extended periods of time. It has went well every time. Also I have over 15 years of having a pet in my home. Walking dogs and taking care of them is something that I have a lot of experience in. I have a very flexible schedule as an independent contractor so i can be available at any time. Whenever I watch my cousin's dog, it becomes a full time endeavor. I take pride in taking care of the things in my environment whether it is lawn care, businesses, car, or my hobbies. I walk them regularly. I make sure the pets are fed on schedule. I pay attention to the pet's communication signals, and I am a caring person towards them.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Cliff! He watched our pup for a full week, and from start to finish, everything was seamless and stress-free. Cliff treated our dog like his own, playtime, and plenty of love. He kept us updated with photos and little notes that showed just how happy and well cared for our dog was. When we picked her up, she was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a great time. We’ll absolutely be calling Cliff again next time we travel! Highly recommend—five stars🐾⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🐾”
