“Rachel and Daniel were fabulous! My dogs had a great time! Honestly, I was afraid they wouldn’t wanna come back home with me lol. I’ve got future stays booked already:)”
“I am so critical of who watches my pets. This is the first time that I have ever boarded my two mastiffs. That being said, I HIGHLY recommend Arya. The quality I like the best is that our pets' welfare and comfort seem to be the first priority with him, above all else. He cares about what is best for my pets. Together with his knowledge and experience, I feel I can trust him completely. Excellent communication gave me piece of mind knowing all is well while we are away. I have every confidence in Arya and enthusiastically recommend him.”
“I love Susan and Kenny. They are so good with my girl Mona. Mona is a rescue and hates to be away from her person. Susan and Kenny have become her new persons after only two stays. They treat Mona like I treat Mona. I'm so happy to have found them.”
“Deanna took great care of our dog! She was so kind and welcoming, and made me feel like our pup was safe and well cared for. I appreciated the photo updates throughout his stay with her! We'd be happy to have her care for him again!”
“Isabel has been awesome with our Buddy. We have used her always and have been very happy with her. She truly is an animal lover and will make your furry family member feel right at home. My dog is an older big dog and she always takes extra special care of his needs. Isabel sends pictures and updates through the entire stay. We will continue to use her as long as she will have us!”
“Alayna and Adam deserve a 10 star review. They met the needs of our dogs, they followed instructions provided, kept the dogs engaged and stimulated. Dogs were perfect little angels and never showed distress as they were made to feel at home during their stay. Great communcation via messages, videos and pictures. They shared any concerns they observed during the stay and checked in to make sure it was normal behavior and one of our dogs health was okay. They were amazing and accomodating. Their house is clean!! I can't say enough things about them! Will definitely book them again!”
“I was super nervous about leaving my puppy Simba for the first time. Zachary and his family took great care of him. I love that the backyard is fenced in and the dogs are able to run and play. When I picked my puppy up, he wasvery relaxed and calm and you can tell he had a good time I will definitely book with Zachary and his family for all of my future dog sitting needs.”
“This was our first time using Wendy’s service. She was wonderful with our dog. She sent us pictures during his stay to keep us informed of how he’s doing. Her house is immaculate. We felt very comfortable with leaving our fur baby with her as soon as we met her and see her place the first time during the interview process. Thank you for take such good care of our Mater.”
“Kim is so wonderful! My dog is young and gets food aggressive with other animals, but she handled it great and was very accommodating to her needs. Her two dogs are so sweet and her home is a great environment for my dog. My dog seemed very comfortable and loved. I received plenty of pictures (which I adore). I would highly recommend Kim to care for your pup!”
“Our puppy LOVED staying at Cassie’s! Cassie was very commentating, kept us updated with pictures and was the friendliest! I can’t wait to book with her again because I know Lucie just loved staying with her and playing with her kids!”
“Savannah was awesome! She kept me up to date with both pictures and videos. My husband and I both commented on how nice it was to take Sylvie to Savannah's home, compared to a boarding kennel. She got a lot more love, attention and care and came home smelling great too!”
“This was our first time ever leaving a pet with someone we didn’t know. Our former pitty had severe abandonment issues that left us very very Anxious. Karma was so relaxed that it eased all of our anxiety. Our baby was very well taken care of and had so much fun with all his new friends and running the big backyard. She gave updates was so flexible when we needed to change our pick up time due to unforeseen circumstances. Will definitely use her in the future.”
“Melissa is fantastic. She accepted our two dogs into her home and they were treated like hers. She set twice a day updates with pictures and videos. I was out of the country in a different time zone and wonderfully took that into account when she sent her updates. I’m not sure my dogs were happy to come home, they truly love staying with Melissa.”
“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!”
“Nathan and Jenna we're great. The dogs got 24/7 attention and love from them, the other dogs and the kids. We'll be called them up again for the next time we need a sitter.”
About: Hi I’m Hayley! I have about a year of Rover experience, doing doggie drop ins and walks. A little bit about me: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs nearly my entire life. I’ve never met a cat I didn’t love! I have two super friendly poodle mixes Nova and Arlo. Not only have I taken care of cats/dogs for 20+ years, I’m also the first to volunteer to care for my friends and neighbors beloved pets. I once babysat a neighbors 30 outdoor cats! I also have experience with senior cats and dogs. My expertise with dogs are home visits, walking and fetch or playing. I have a toddler who also loves animals and will accompany me at times, so a friendly dog is a MUST. I will watch one small/medium dog at my home in Ravenna prior to meeting them to ensure they get along with my pups. I treat my pets like family members, and would love to care for yours as well! I work a flexible hybrid schedule so I’m willing to work with your schedule. I’m available for overnight doggy daycare at my home for one family friendly pup if you’re out of town. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups to keep your dog company. They love to play! I’m willing and able to crate if needed as well.
“Once again, Tommy has been cared for by Kathy and Graham so well that we never have to worry when we are away. It's obvious that he remembers and loves them. He enjoys his walks, cuddles and special treats!. The pictures we receive make us smile as well.”
“This was our first time using the service. Summer kept us up to date and send pics of our girl. She communicated with us in a timely manner and did an awesome job keeping us informed!”
“Lindsay was an amazing sitter for my baby Theodore. She was attentive, patient, sweet, and also gives updates on how he was doing the whole time. I got daily pictures of him and it made me really happy. I will book her again and again. Highly recommend.”

“Absolutely 10/10. I didn’t have the greatest experience with my last sitter from Rover, so I was really hoping this time around would be different and Deanna did not disappoint. She was prompt, friendly, and was able to check the things I asked about. One of my cats requires two medications and she successfully administered them. She also played with and gave treats out, which I know they love. I can tell they were well taken care of while I was away because they were happy and not screaming when I got back, and appreciate the attention she put towards them. Also sent very cute pictures each visit. Definitely recommend booking with her and will do so again if I need the services!”
“Allison was absolutely wonderful. She went out of her way to make sure my cats were well cared for and even offered to do little extra things like getting the mail and watering some house plants. I highly recommend Allison and will most definitely be asking her to cat sit again in the future.”
“Mackenzie is wonderful! She took photos of my cats so I could see they were eating...not really an issue, but you know.... She also watered plants and brought in the mail...and during a rainstorm she checked for a leak (older home here) and then txted back and forth to sort out where to find a bucket to catch drips until I got home. I whole- heartedly recommend her.”
“Denise is amazing and I highly recommend using her. She updated us daily with adorable pictures of her playing with our fur baby. And even send me updates with WhatsApp since we were out of the country!! Knowing we have such a reliable and caring pet sitter relieves the stress we use to feel while traveling.”
“I was away in Europe for a month, and Hayley took care of my cat with her sitting sessions, putting my worries at ease. Her communication is amazing and she was always reachable. I highly recommend Hayley and would love to work with her again.”
About: I’ve cared for my own dog and neighbor’s dogs for 14 years, giving me experience with daily routines, long-term responsibility, and attentive care through different life stages. I’m patient, gentle, and take time to get to know each pet’s needs and personality so they feel safe and comfortable in my care. Since I recently graduated, my schedule is pretty flexible this summer outside of babysitting a couple days a week. Pet care already feels like a natural part of my routine because I’m used to caring for animals consistently and making time for walks, feeding, attention, and keeping them comfortable. I care for pets by paying attention to their routines and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. With my own dog, that means keeping up with feeding, medication when needed, outside time, playtime, and affection—especially since he’s a senior now. In a client’s home, I’d make sure their pet gets the same attentiveness while following the routines and preferences they’re used to.
“True animal-loving and caring individual. Attention to detail, followed our excessive written instructions to the "T", and did extra work outside of requirements. We will definitely be hiring again.”
About: As an adult, I had 4 kitties for over 20 years. (I miss them every day.) Not only can I handle feeding, watering, and scooping, I can give oral medications and do subcutaneous injections as well.
About: Hi there! I have been a pet sitter for 7 years with a majority of bookings being cats. I have multi-species experience including: dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, fish, turtles, and rabbits. I am a cat owner myself, and truly enjoy interacting with and observing cats. I am a 4th year student of Animal Behavior with a primary interest in enrichment and welfare. I have experience with: • oral medication administration • pets with anxiety • grooming and nail trimming (*depends on your pet's temperament) • enrichment I am available for drop-in visits, walks, or pet-sittings. ***I do not offer boarding due to my own pet for the safety of all pets involved!
About: growing up with a family dog, i’ve always looked forward to our long walks. since i've moved to care for my grandma & i can’t have a pet at my current home, i’m looking to be the dedicated adventure buddy your pup deserves! i’m an avid walker who cleans up after your pet & loves exploring local parks and trails, and i’m just as comfortable handling a brisk, high-energy trek as i am a slow, 'sniff-heavy' stroll for seniors or four legged friends who love getting distracted! HOT WEATHER: for dog-friendly clients, i am able to provide outings to low stress trips to uncrowded, pet-friendly stores/facilities for stimulation and enrichment (including a potty break outside before and after, of course!) i am also happy to walk earlier/later in the day to avoid the heat as well! i also enjoy keeping pets company in home, whether its playing with toys, using lick mats, or just spending some time together! because i work evening and overnight shifts, i have guaranteed availability every morning and midday for your dog’s routine. whether you need a recurring daily walker or a same-day visit because you’re running late, i'm local and ready to jump in! my current job is closing in a few months, so i’ll be even more available for your schedule soon :) in public, i use a short-leash grip, stay hyper-aware of our surroundings without distractions like phones/technology of any kind (aside from photos, of course!), and avoid unknown dogs to keep your pup protected. i pride myself on being a trustworthy, punctual communicator, providing frequent photo updates so you’re always in the loop. i am very confident in my ability to kennel/leash pets & i consider myself well-versed in administering medication. i am keen when reading animal stress signals, ensuring your pet feels safe and understood under my care! as of early may, i am taking dog training certification courses to better my understanding and confidence in dog training :)
About: Nice to meet you! I've personally had dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. I currently have 3 dogs who I love to the moon. I am my family and friends go to when/if they need someone to take care of their animals-whether it be dropping in for potty breaks and/or walks during busy days or dog sitting when on vacations, I know what it takes to love and care for my own animals and can provide the same care for your own pup. Let me help take the stress out of finding reliable care! I have experience with all ages and am comfortable with learning and catering to your cat's specific needs and routines.

“Arya N was great to communicate with and it was a very easy and smooth experience. He sent multiple video and photo updates through the day even working with him and our pup came back happy. I would definitely recommend to anyone and wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thank you again for the care you gave to our pup for the day!!!”

“We left our baby, Oswald, with Karma for about 4 hours while we went to a concert. She sent us photos and updates so we knew he was doing well! I am always anxious about leaving him with anyone but he was safe and sound with Karma!”
“Our dog has gone to Zachary’s several times for doggy daycare and he loves it! Each time he comes home happy and tired from playing with his dogs. Would definitely recommend!”

“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: It’s simple. I just love dogs. I love my dog. I’ve had dogs all my life. I like to walk dogs just plain and simple. I have a friendly dog now and walk it and let it outside and take care of it. He’s part of my family and fixed. I have a fenced in yard and pay a lot of attention to the animals needs. I make sure they’re happy and pay a lot of attention to animals.

“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.”
About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs through both personal and professional settings. I currently own my own dog and grew up in a household with dogs, giving me lifelong experience with daily care, feeding, exercise, grooming, and administering basic medications. Additionally, while working as a nanny, I regularly cared for the family’s dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, providing companionship, and ensuring their overall well-being while the family was away. I am comfortable with dogs of different ages, sizes, and temperaments and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m off work for the summer, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care, I’m available throughout the day to make sure your pets get the attention and love they deserve. I treat pets like family in my home. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions from the owner. My goal is to make pets feel happy, comfortable, and at home while they’re in my care.
About: Hi, I’m Nicole — a lifelong animal lover and self‑proclaimed helicopter dog parent. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. My babies are in heaven now so I’ve joined rover as a pet sitter. I’ve spent the last decade-plus loving and supporting two very different pups with very different needs. My 16‑year‑old baby boy chihuahua Harley taught me everything about caring for a truly high‑maintenance senior dog. From medications and special feeding routines to extra snuggles, slow walks, and those middle‑of‑the‑night “I need you now” moments — I’ve handled it all with patience, gentleness, and love. I also shared my life with my 11 year old Labrador-baby girl Lexi- who recently passed away from cancer on 5/19. Navigating that journey with her taught me deep compassion, vigilance, and emotional care. I became an expert in monitoring comfort levels, adjusting daily routines, and making every moment count. These experiences shaped the way I care for every dog who comes into my home: with attentiveness, understanding, and the same level of devotion I have given my own. • I treat your dog the way I treat mine — like family. • I am extremely attentive and present. If your pup needs something, I’m there. • Senior dogs and high‑maintenance fur babies are welcome. I get them. • Dogs are absolutely allowed on furniture — cuddles are encouraged here. • We don’t have a fence, but I’m a safety‑first sitter. I leash dogs for every potty break and stay right with them. • Because I work from home, your dog will rarely be left alone. • My home is calm, cozy, and dog friendly. Why I Do This I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone. They’re your heart. Your family. Your little shadow. I’ve been in your shoes many times, I’ve used Rover in the past and my goal is to give you that same peace of mind I always looked for — knowing your pup is safe, loved, and truly understood. On weekdays I go to the gym early in the morning and telework daily in my private office with a comfy dog friendly couch. Sometimes I am home on the weekends and sometimes not so it depends on when you need care. If you’re unsure just message me and I can see if I am free. :) I do ask that if you request me, you have a filled out rover profile and photos. Thank you. Our non-smoking home is pet friendly and I have a 12 year old daughter who loves animals. I do not have any animals in my home. For potty breaks your pet would be leashed.
About: I have always had pets of all kinds growing up along with much love for all wildlife. Currently I have 4 cats, 2 dogs, 3 fish and many snails, and a lot of plants! My dog growing up became diabetic (also blind) and I provided him supportive care for the remaining 5 years he had (including special meals and insulin shots)! I have rescued several cats and found loving homes after getting them medical care (I always keep in touch). One of my cats was a bottle baby after finding her on the side of the road at only 3 weeks old, she is now almost 2. I also provided supportive care for my two eldest cats (11years) after their major surgeries (perineal urethrostomy and gallbladder removal). I am also in the process of obtaining my wildlife rehabilitation permit for I always seem to be brought animals to care for and I would like to do more for them than just transporting to a rehabilitator! I have a lot of room at my house which includes the finished basement area with separate rooms, a mudroom, a large fenced in backyard, and kennels if needed. I'm willing to travel to you, or care for your animals here! All my animals are friendly (successfully introduced and integrated) but if yours needs some privacy I can absolutely provide it. I'm here to help, I hope it's clear how important your fur babies would be to me! I would love to make whatever it is you need happen. I am currently a stay at home mom with my own fur babies. My day starts at 6AM when I wake up to feed and walk the dogs and check to see if the cats need anything. I would be more than happy to care for your animal(s) here or get out of the house and care for them in their home! I have a large fenced in yard, a finished basement with separate rooms, a separate mudroom, and kennels if needed! My 4 cats and 2 dogs roam the house and would love to make new friends, but if your animals are shy, we have plenty of space to accommodate. All I ask is for a clear set of instructions if caring for your pet in your home and you can expect those instructions to be carried out with love and respect for your animal(s) and property. I am also insured for pet care/housesitting through PCI.
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life, and now that I’m recently retired, I have the time to give them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I treat every dog like part of the family—whether we’re going for a walk, playing fetch, or just relaxing together. With a calm, patient nature and a flexible schedule, I can focus fully on your pet’s needs and routines. You can rest easy knowing they’ll be safe, happy, and loved like one of my own. I am recently retired and am available all of the time. I currently have two small dogs of my own and watching an additional dog would be no trouble at all. If you dog stays with me, they will be treated just like my own pet. I am able to walk them, feed them special diets, or administer oral medication. I am home almost all of the time and can give them the attention they need.
About: Your pet is treated as my own and a family member. Your fur baby is not crated unless you request that and provide the crate. Your pet gets to go outside and run and play several times a day. I go out and encourage playing and running for exercise. When the weather permits, we walk through the field and explore along the canal. If your pet is older and doesn't want to play or explore, that's ok. I have plenty of shaded areas for them to just lounge and take a snooze while I sit with them and read. I would love to share your fur babies with you. Must provide proof of all shot records (including Kennel Cough vaccine). I insist on a meet and greet to make sure that your fur baby is going to be a good match with our family. I do not board pit bulls (or pit mixes), German Shepherds, Rottweilers it any aggressive dogs for my safety as well as my pup. I am retired. I never leave your pups alone. If I need to run to the store, my husband is here with the pups. When the pups are outside, I'm outside work them. I have a large fenced in back yard and a standard poodle that would love to play with your pup/pups and keep them company. She loves having new playmates.
About: Since being retired, I have plenty of time to help dog owners. I’m available to board, sit or walk your dog. Whatever I can do to help. I’m retired so I have the time. It helps pass the time. I lost my fur baby a few years ago after having him for 12 years. I have a fenced in yard and no current animals so each of the animals will have my undivided attention. I can gladly take care of them.

“This was my first time using Rover (and the first time having anyone outside of family care for my puppy), and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I have a young Doberman with a lot of energy, and Arya was patient, calm, and firm in just the right way—which is exactly what she needs. He took her on a nice long walk, and I really appreciated the videos he sent along the way. They gave me peace of mind and made the whole process so much less stressful. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and confident with energetic dogs!”

“I can't enough good things about Matt. He's upbeat and friendly to Truman and myself. When walking, he gets updates from friends in the neighborhood and keeps me abreast.

About: I have been helping my neighbors with their pets since I was a teenager and I've had two dogs of my own since I was 5. For the past 3 years, I've been working as a professional pet sitter and house sitter. I understand the importance of giving animals the love they deserve. I also make sure to follow their potty and feeding routines to keep them comfortable and happy. You can rely on me to take great care of your pets while you're away, providing you with peace of mind. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, allowing me to provide dedicated attention to your furry companions! I love my morning walks and being able to take a pup with me is a treat for me! Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule as I have lived with animals my whole life! It’s second nature. When I provide overnight stays at the client's home, I ensure that their pets receive attentive and comprehensive care. This includes feeding them according to their regular schedule, providing fresh water, and administering any necessary medications. I make it a priority to create a comfortable and safe environment for the pets, maintaining a clean living space and adhering to any specific instructions or routines provided by the owner. I am dedicated to giving them plenty of love, attention, and playtime to keep them happy and engaged. During drop-in visits, I focus on meeting the specific needs of the pets. This typically involves feeding them, refreshing their water, and taking them out for potty breaks. I make sure to follow any specific instructions regarding their feeding and bathroom routines, ensuring their comfort and well-being. Additionally, I am attentive to their emotional needs, offering cuddles and playtime. When it comes to dog walking, I prioritize the physical exercise and mental stimulation of the dogs. I tailor the walks to their individual energy levels and exercise requirements, providing them with an enjoyable and enriching experience. Safety is paramount, so I use appropriate leashes and ensure that the dogs are secure and under control at all times. I also pay attention to their behavior and monitor their well-being throughout the walk. Overall, my approach to pet care is personalized, attentive, and adaptable to the unique needs of each client and their beloved pets.
About: I’ve been around dogs for about 10 years and have a genuine love for caring for animals. I also have hands-on experience from working at a zoo, which taught me the importance of responsibility and attention to detail in animal care. At home, I lived with and cared for my family's dog for 5 years, which gave me daily experience with walks, play, and companionship. My background makes me patient, reliable, and comfortable with pets of all personalities. I’m currently a full-time student, which gives me flexibility to care for pets during the day. I have breaks between classes, and I’m usually done around 3 pm, so I have plenty of time for walks, play, and giving pets the attention they need. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep them comfortable and stick to their usual routine. I ensure they’re fed on time, have access to fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and enjoy playtime and affection. I also pay close attention to their behavior so I can keep them safe, happy, and relaxed while their owners are away.
“This was Kevins first time with a walker and being away from me and Joie was super friendly and I communicated the whole time she even sent pics! I will definitely be using her again.”
About: Hi there! I have been a pet sitter since I was 14, with multi-species experience including: dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, fish, turtles, and rabbits. I am a life long pet owner as well. I am in my 4th year of studying Animal Behavior, which feeds my interest in enrichment and proper welfare for all animals. I have experience with: • oral medication administration • pets with anxiety • grooming and nail trimming (*depends on your pet's temperament) • enrichment I am available for drop-in visits, walks, or pet-sittings. ***I do not offer boarding due to my own pet for the safety of all pets involved! I'm currently on break for the summer and have full availability during the week to stop in and take your pet for a walk or play session, or house sit for a longer period. I tend to stick to the instructions provided as to keep a normal routine for your pet. For a first time visit, I will get aquatinted with your pet and offer a treat if allowed. I will send photos of your pet when I arrive and leave to offer some peace of mind. For walks, I will take your dog on a stroll around the neighborhood so they can let out some energy and use the restroom, followed by a treat after returning home. Drop-ins are similar where the pet will be taken outside for the restroom if needed and have some playtime to let out some energy. For pet sitting jobs, I tend to ask more questions about your pet to get a better understanding of their needs as well as anything else that will need taken care of such as collecting the mail, or watering plants. No matter the species, each visit will include playing, treats, and lots of pets! When entering or leaving your home, I ensure that the key is placed in the correct spot (to prevent lockouts!) after locking to keep your pet and home safe.

“Rachel and Daniel were fabulous! My dogs had a great time! Honestly, I was afraid they wouldn’t wanna come back home with me lol. I’ve got future stays booked already:)”
“I am so critical of who watches my pets. This is the first time that I have ever boarded my two mastiffs. That being said, I HIGHLY recommend Arya. The quality I like the best is that our pets' welfare and comfort seem to be the first priority with him, above all else. He cares about what is best for my pets. Together with his knowledge and experience, I feel I can trust him completely. Excellent communication gave me piece of mind knowing all is well while we are away. I have every confidence in Arya and enthusiastically recommend him.”
“Isabel has been awesome with our Buddy. We have used her always and have been very happy with her. She truly is an animal lover and will make your furry family member feel right at home. My dog is an older big dog and she always takes extra special care of his needs. Isabel sends pictures and updates through the entire stay. We will continue to use her as long as she will have us!”
“Alayna and Adam deserve a 10 star review. They met the needs of our dogs, they followed instructions provided, kept the dogs engaged and stimulated. Dogs were perfect little angels and never showed distress as they were made to feel at home during their stay. Great communcation via messages, videos and pictures. They shared any concerns they observed during the stay and checked in to make sure it was normal behavior and one of our dogs health was okay. They were amazing and accomodating. Their house is clean!! I can't say enough things about them! Will definitely book them again!”
“I was super nervous about leaving my puppy Simba for the first time. Zachary and his family took great care of him. I love that the backyard is fenced in and the dogs are able to run and play. When I picked my puppy up, he wasvery relaxed and calm and you can tell he had a good time I will definitely book with Zachary and his family for all of my future dog sitting needs.”
“Our puppy LOVED staying at Cassie’s! Cassie was very commentating, kept us updated with pictures and was the friendliest! I can’t wait to book with her again because I know Lucie just loved staying with her and playing with her kids!”
“Savannah was awesome! She kept me up to date with both pictures and videos. My husband and I both commented on how nice it was to take Sylvie to Savannah's home, compared to a boarding kennel. She got a lot more love, attention and care and came home smelling great too!”
“This was our first time ever leaving a pet with someone we didn’t know. Our former pitty had severe abandonment issues that left us very very Anxious. Karma was so relaxed that it eased all of our anxiety. Our baby was very well taken care of and had so much fun with all his new friends and running the big backyard. She gave updates was so flexible when we needed to change our pick up time due to unforeseen circumstances. Will definitely use her in the future.”
“Melissa is fantastic. She accepted our two dogs into her home and they were treated like hers. She set twice a day updates with pictures and videos. I was out of the country in a different time zone and wonderfully took that into account when she sent her updates. I’m not sure my dogs were happy to come home, they truly love staying with Melissa.”
“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!”
“Nathan and Jenna we're great. The dogs got 24/7 attention and love from them, the other dogs and the kids. We'll be called them up again for the next time we need a sitter.”
About: Hi I’m Hayley! I have about a year of Rover experience, doing doggie drop ins and walks. A little bit about me: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs nearly my entire life. I’ve never met a cat I didn’t love! I have two super friendly poodle mixes Nova and Arlo. Not only have I taken care of cats/dogs for 20+ years, I’m also the first to volunteer to care for my friends and neighbors beloved pets. I once babysat a neighbors 30 outdoor cats! I also have experience with senior cats and dogs. My expertise with dogs are home visits, walking and fetch or playing. I have a toddler who also loves animals and will accompany me at times, so a friendly dog is a MUST. I will watch one small/medium dog at my home in Ravenna prior to meeting them to ensure they get along with my pups. I treat my pets like family members, and would love to care for yours as well! I work a flexible hybrid schedule so I’m willing to work with your schedule. I’m available for overnight doggy daycare at my home for one family friendly pup if you’re out of town. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups to keep your dog company. They love to play! I’m willing and able to crate if needed as well.
“Lindsay was an amazing sitter for my baby Theodore. She was attentive, patient, sweet, and also gives updates on how he was doing the whole time. I got daily pictures of him and it made me really happy. I will book her again and again. Highly recommend.”
“Jessica deserves 10/10 stars. She was amazing with Bailey. She was able to make our wedding special by bringing Bailey to our wedding ceremony. We definitely plan on using Jessica again for our boarding services in the future.”
“Kristen was amazing with our Koko. She was always updating us on her day. She liked being there so much that she did not have her usual excitement upon seeing us. I'm so glad we found her and we will definitely be using her when we need to be away. She also got along really well with Kristen's fur babies.”
About: Hi, I’m Nicole — a lifelong animal lover and self‑proclaimed helicopter dog parent. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. My babies are in heaven now so I’ve joined rover as a pet sitter. I’ve spent the last decade-plus loving and supporting two very different pups with very different needs. My 16‑year‑old baby boy chihuahua Harley taught me everything about caring for a truly high‑maintenance senior dog. From medications and special feeding routines to extra snuggles, slow walks, and those middle‑of‑the‑night “I need you now” moments — I’ve handled it all with patience, gentleness, and love. I also shared my life with my 11 year old Labrador-baby girl Lexi- who recently passed away from cancer on 5/19. Navigating that journey with her taught me deep compassion, vigilance, and emotional care. I became an expert in monitoring comfort levels, adjusting daily routines, and making every moment count. These experiences shaped the way I care for every dog who comes into my home: with attentiveness, understanding, and the same level of devotion I have given my own. • I treat your dog the way I treat mine — like family. • I am extremely attentive and present. If your pup needs something, I’m there. • Senior dogs and high‑maintenance fur babies are welcome. I get them. • Dogs are absolutely allowed on furniture — cuddles are encouraged here. • We don’t have a fence, but I’m a safety‑first sitter. I leash dogs for every potty break and stay right with them. • Because I work from home, your dog will rarely be left alone. • My home is calm, cozy, and dog friendly. Why I Do This I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone. They’re your heart. Your family. Your little shadow. I’ve been in your shoes many times, I’ve used Rover in the past and my goal is to give you that same peace of mind I always looked for — knowing your pup is safe, loved, and truly understood. On weekdays I go to the gym early in the morning and telework daily in my private office with a comfy dog friendly couch. Sometimes I am home on the weekends and sometimes not so it depends on when you need care. If you’re unsure just message me and I can see if I am free. :) I do ask that if you request me, you have a filled out rover profile and photos. Thank you. Our non-smoking home is pet friendly and I have a 12 year old daughter who loves animals. I do not have any animals in my home. For potty breaks your pet would be leashed.
“Isabella made sure our two dogs had a great time with her! They went to the dog park, on a hike, and even for a pup cup. She sent lots of pictures and was very communicative. We appreciate her taking on our last minute booking!”
“I knew it was smart to book with Brandon again as Skyler was so excited when we pulled down his street. Like last time, Brandon took great care of Skyler and he's really made his place super dog friendly with new flooring, fenced in back yard and a roll of Astroturf just arrived to help the dogs stay a bit less muddy on rainy days. We're pretty picky and Brandon did a great job again.”
“Susan and her husband cared for Barney like he was their own. They are both very responsible, caring and loving dog owners that Barney was more than comfortable with. Their dog, Jonah, was very well behaved and super friendly. Jonah and Barney were best buds within the first couple minutes of meeting each other. They went on a few walks and played a bunch in their fenced in backyard. Barney was tired out and a happy dog when we came to pick him up :) I would highly recommend Susan to anyone looking for a trusting and caring dog sitter.”
“I was extremely happy with the care that Gail provided my dog, Cinnamon. She sent daily pictures and updates which helped ease the worry of leaving Cinnamon for the first time. I will definitely be booking with Gail again in the future!”
