“Susan is so sweet. You can tell sh truly loves her dog babies. She kept us very informed during our dogs stay with lots of pictures and excellent communication. This was our first time using rover and we are so glad to have found Susan. We will be using her again!”
“Lorie is terrific! The dogs were well cared for and safe in her home and fenced yard. We felt welcomed upon arrival and the dogs were ready for us with their things packed for departure.”
“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!”
“Mel was the absolute best with our pup. She provided pics of Cali during our time away and even bathed her! Picking up a clean puppy was a real treat and far exceeded our expectations. Cali got to go on lots of walks and was completely worn out when she got home, which is quite an achievement for a lab!”
“Wendy was fantastic! Our sweet Mae stayed with her for 10 days and she took wonderful care of our spunky girl! It was clear from the updates and photos that she adjusted to Wendy’s home the perfect balance of active play time and snuggles. Wendy was very quick and clear in her communications. I’d recommend Wendy’s oasis to any pet parent! :)”
“Samantha was a kind and caring sitter! She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on how my puppy was doing. She also has 2 small and very well behaved pups and this was great for socialization. Very happy to leave my puppy with Samantha.”
“I was so pleased with my dog’s stay with this boarder. She sent me daily updates and made sure I knew Oreo was being treated with the BEST care! This was my first experience leaving Oreo with a someone outside my family and all of my insecurities went away the very first day he was there. I would highly recommend her and will definitely reach out again if I need to leave Oreo again!”
“We never have to worry when Tommy is at his home away from home. I know that I can leave him and he will be loved as though he were with me. We always appreciate the pictures and little notes. This stay was unique in that I had to contact Kathy and request to extend Tommy's stay because of a family member's health. Kathy was so accommodating and without hesitation kept Tommy two extra days. Tommy is already looking forward to his next "vacation"! Five stars is not enough!!!”
“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.”
“Bri I wanna thank you so much for your boarding service! You are God sent. You loved on my baby, kept me informed, sent pictures and treated him like your own. You took great care of my Brawny! I am looking forward to booking with you again! I appreciate you!!!”
“Tara and Peter are great dog sitters! I received pictures and update daily. The pups were treated like family pets. I would definitely leave my pups with them in the future.”
About: I truly love animals, my favorite being dogs. i am with dogs every day all day.I have lots of experience with raising puppies and caring for dogs of many sizes and temperaments. I have owned snakes, lizards, turtles, fish;etc. so I also have experience with small animal care along with house sitting. Though I am not certified I train dogs for fun. (Basic obedience & tricks) I have even been told by a professional that I am really good at training dogs. I am a certified dog groomer. Some may say that I am a great bather and my grooms are neat. After working at an animal hospital for 2yrs I know a thing or two about pet care & what to do in an emergency so no worries your pets are completely safe in my care. Pet care is my life from the time that i wake up from the time i lay my head. i can do this in my sleep. (: in my home every dog is given the same amount of love. i do not have a fenced in yard however i take leash safety very seriously. we walk daily and i have never had a dog escape. i have tie out long enough to go where they'd like within the safe zone. we also have play time within my spacious finished basement that also has a fully stocked mini grooming salon on the opposite side. as far as drop ins in the clients home whatever care sheet you provide is what will be followed to the T.
“Goldie had a great time in Susan's care. I received two or more pictures every day and updates on how she was during. I knew from day one that she was in good hands. Will differently use her again.”
“Takia hosted my sheepadoodle during some late planned holiday travel. She was very accommodating as we feed a raw diet to my dog, and her communication and updates were great during my time away.”
“Anna was wonderful with my pup and is just a special person who loves animals. Her home was amazing and is perfect for any dog. The backyard was a special treat for sure for my Chip. I cannot recommend Anna and her home enough. I knew my dog was very well taken care of and in great hands. Excellent communication as well. Thank you Anna and Gabe too 😘 ❤️”

“Ben arrived on-time for both meet & Greet and pet care for our year-and-a-half-old doodle girl. He was open and friendly and warm with both human and dog. Our puppy warmed to him immediately --they can always tell when people are truly comfortable around them, can't they?!? Ben was communicative throughout the process, and sent photos of our baby to reassure us that she was well. Would definitely contact him again.”
“Preston was an outstanding dog sitter over the Fourth of July holiday! From the very beginning, he went above and beyond by taking the time to meet our dogs beforehand, which made us feel completely at ease. Throughout our time away, he was incredibly caring, attentive, and communicative. When a storm blew through and knocked over our patio umbrella, breaking the glass table, Preston let us know right away and kept us updated on everything. We really appreciated his honesty and prompt communication during an unexpected situation. It’s clear that Preston genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and compassionate dog sitter!”
“Excellent cat sitter! Great communicator! Showed up in time and communicated well. Clearly loved my cat and I appreciated the photo updates. Went above and beyond sweeping up spilled cat litter. Plan to book again in the future and would recommend to anyone”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Solon
“Bandit is always so excited to see Karma. He loves going there so much that we can get him to take his medicine by saying if he takes it, he can go see her. She is so flexible and caring with him. We feel very confident in her skills because of the way that Bandit cries with excitement to see her.”
About: Hi! I’m Maria, and caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I’ve dedicated years of my life to. I have over 10 years of hands on experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace, I understand that every pet deserves care that’s tailored specifically to them. My partner and I work together as a team, which means your pets receive twice the attention, care, and reliability. Having two experienced animal lovers allows us to be flexible with scheduling and provide consistent, dependable care for your pets, whether you’re away for the day or an extended vacation. I offer: • Dog Walking • Drop-In Visits • House Sitting • Overnight Boarding • Puppy Care • Senior Dog Care • Medication Administration (if needed) • Lots of playtime, cuddles, enrichment, and exercise! I’ve cared for everything from tiny toy breeds to giant breeds, including dogs with anxiety, high energy, special routines, and unique personalities.

When your pet stays with us or we care for them in your home, they’re treated like family. We stick to their normal routine as closely as possible because we know consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether that means long walks, endless games of fetch, quiet cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, we adjust our care to what makes your pet happiest. As pet owners ourselves, we understand how difficult it can be to trust someone with a member of your family. That’s why communication is one of our top priorities.

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.

“Brandon was amazing with our dog Dixie and made everything very easy. With this being our first time outside of family dog sitting he kept us in the loop with everything going on. We will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Pogo had his very first day at daycare with Flora, and we couldn't be happier with our choice! He seemed so at home there as he dove right into the fun activities Flora had planned. It was such a joy to see him having an amazing time! The warm welcome we received was simply amazing. Flora really took the time to understand Pogo’s schedule, which made everything go so smoothly. Knowing he was in such great hands was incredibly reassuring. Flora was just a quick call or text away if we had any questions. As a sweet touch, she left us a handwritten note about Pogo’s day with her, which really put our minds at ease and showed us how much fun he had and the care she took of him. We can’t wait to book with Flora again in the future!”
About: I’ve always had a multitude of pets ranging from birds, to dogs and cats, and crustaceans. I’m the perfect go to for all of your pet needs. Ever since I was 8 I have been pet sitting, bathing and grooming, as well as learning the basics to developing great relationships with animals. This journey is one of the main factors that has led me to going to college for Veterinary studies. Currently I am a student at The Ohio State University with a focus on Pre-Vet! Currently, my hours of availability begin at 6 am and usually end around 6pm for dog waking services. For drop in visits and stay in visits, I have open availability. In my clients home I make sure to never go beyond my parameters and to always care for the pet in the most comfortable and effortless way possible. I am very experienced with dog walking and ensuring that the walks are both productive and fun for both me and your pet. This includes casual jogs, sightseeing (nature) walks, and walks suited for older or handicapped animals. As for feeding, I always make sure to give your pet the desired amount that you have given to me to make sure that no over feeding happens, and treats are only given upon authorization from owners.
“Al did a great job with our dogs for the day. The place is perfect for dog sitting. Our dog has issues dealing with other dogs but Al gave her space to get used to the others; she had a great time!”
About: I always loved animals. They come second hand in my life. I always take good care of my pets. I have a dog as well I currently delivery drive and I’m also in school.

“Takia was amazing with my pup. She sent update pictures and kept me updated on how well he was doing. He absolutely loved the other little pup she was watching.”
About: I offer a premium pet sitting/walking experience because of my hands on experience in many different dog environments. I have trained service dogs through 4 Paws for Ability, worked in a busy dog daycare, volunteered in shelters, and competed in agility. These experiences help me understand behavior, manage different energy levels, and support dogs with unique needs. I am dependable, organized, and attentive to every detail of your dog’s routine. I also make communication a priority and provide frequent updates, photos, and notes so you always feel connected to your dog while you are away. If you choose to trust me with your dog, you can have complete peace of mind knowing they are in capable and caring hands. I work remotely so I am able to offer drop in and dog walking services weekdays before 8:45 AM, during my lunch break most days, and after 4:30 PM. I also have availability most weekends. For select dogs, I may consider overnight or weekday daycare in my own home on a case-by-case basis, dependent on my own dogs getting along with yours and the behavior of your dog(s) - must be house trained and non-destructive. I would only take dog(s) from ONE client in home at a time (in addition to my own two dogs). Please reach out to discuss this further. The safety and health of your pets is my number one priority. From shifting to indoor activities on days when the temperature is dangerously hot to double checking that the harness/collar is fitted properly before going outside, I do everything in my power to keep your dogs happy and healthy. Additionally, positive reinforcement is the foundation of how I train and interact with animals. I use it with my own dogs and with the service dogs I’ve helped train, and I’m happy to continue that approach with your pets. This means no yelling, “punishing”, or other harsh corrective methods will be used.
“Andrea is the absolute best!! I had to submit several requests with her at the last second but she made them all work and was sooo great with my dog! My dog can be weird with other dogs but Andrea was so great about keeping them separate while also providing tons of one on one time with my girl and working on tricks and training with her, as well as playing with her favorite toys!! Whenever I leave my dog with Andrea I can completely relax knowing that she will be super well taken care of! I can’t recommend Andrea highly enough!!!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Solon
About: Update June 1, 2026. I have taken a part-time job and right now I can only accept cat drop in requests . Unfortunately I can’t commit to dog walking because of this part-time job unless it’s on the weekend. I am answering as a pet owner. I am hoping to start working as a pet sitter/dog walker soon. As a kid we had birds and hamsters, then graduated to cats when I was about 14. As a young adult I usually had up to 4 cats at the same time. When my kids were in high school, my husband introduced me to dogs by re-homing a dog named Lucy. We still have her. I had never had dogs before but I am so glad I did not say NO to hubby at the time. We have 2 dogs now but no cats. I do miss having cats and hope to again some day. I left my job of 34 years and would love to do something I have been wanting to do for a long time but never got around to. I am happy to care for cats too! At my house we have invisible fence to keep the dogs from leaving the yard, though our younger dog needs to be on a long lead because he is so excitable and cannot always be trusted to stay in the yard. We also have invisible fence inside to keep both dogs out of the kitchen.
“Emily has been a FANTASTIC dog walker for my sweet, 85lb fur baby for the last few months. She goes above and beyond and I'm truly so grateful to have her. I fully trust her to take excellent care of Meeko and he LOVED her from the beginning.”

About: I've been dog sitting for friends and family for several years and have grown very comfortable caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, and I always make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it's going for walks, playing outside, providing companionship, sticking to a feeding schedule, or simply giving extra attention and affection, I'm happy to adapt to each pet's unique needs. As an active college athlete, I have plenty of energy for long walks and playtime, but I'm also patient and attentive with dogs who prefer a calmer environment. My goal is always to provide reliable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. Pet care is something I take seriously, and I have a schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention and flexibility. I work part-time as a lifeguard, which gives me the ability to take breaks throughout the day to check on pets, take dogs for walks, provide potty breaks, feed pets, or attend to any other needs they may have. In addition, I am generally available during mornings, evenings, and overnight hours, allowing me to spend quality time with pets and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Whether your pet needs an active companion, a consistent routine, or simply someone to keep them company, I have the time and dedication to provide reliable, attentive care. My experience caring for pets comes from raising my own two rescue dogs. When my family first brought them home, they were nervous, hesitant around people, and not always easy to handle. Like many rescue animals, they needed time, patience, and consistency before they felt comfortable in their new environment. Over the years, I have helped them build confidence through daily routines, training, exercise, and plenty of love and attention. Watching them grow from uncertain rescue dogs into friendly, affectionate companions has taught me a great deal about animal care. It showed me that every pet has a unique personality and that building trust often takes patience and understanding. Today, caring for my dogs is a regular part of my life. I feed them a combination of wet and dry food twice a day, take them on walks throughout the day whenever my schedule allows, and make sure they get the exercise, attention, and affection they need to stay happy and healthy. One of my dogs also experiences seasonal allergies and requires medication during certain times of the year, so I am comfortable following care instructions and administering medications when needed. Because of these experiences, I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for someone else's pet. Whether a pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, young or old, I strive to provide a safe, comfortable environment where they feel secure, cared for, and loved while their owners are away.
About: I grew up always having a pet in the house and have about 4 years of experience pet-sitting for neighbors. I helped with potty training and basic obedience training for my active mini labradoodle, Maisy! I’m an OSU student home for the summer and am currently pretty flexible! In June, I work Monday through Wednesday during the day but am otherwise available throughout the week. I’m happy to learn about your dog’s individual needs and make sure their environment is as safe as possible! Just please communicate with me :)
About: I’ve been walking and watching dogs since I could ride my bike around my hometown by myself. My family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers have always been able to rely on me to provide their pups with long walk or runs, feedings, baths (when needed), and endless cuddles (if consented to by said pup). I work full-time in Chagrin Falls; however, with a high-energy dog of my own, my free time is usually spent with him outside hiking or playing fetch in parks and on trails in the area. At this time I’m not offering boarding services. My apartment only allows for my service dog (PSA) to be with me there, unfortunately. But I’m more than happy to come house sit! As long as my pup Strider is welcome.
About: I am a dedicated and reliable dog walker with a passion for pets and years of experience caring for all types of dogs. I offer fun, safe, and personalized walks that are tailored to each dog’s needs, energy level, and personality. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll for a senior dog or an energetic adventure for a puppy, I make sure every dog has a great time and gets the exercise and attention they I currently work part time and would love to fill up my schedule. I am available Thursday and Fridays for drop ins and dog walks. During my walks ins I’ll make sure the dog is happy and healthy with lots of play, walks, food and water if needed. I can also update you with photos of the dog!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets of friends, neighbors and family! I helped with walking, feeding, bathing, and overall care for their pets! I am currently working 4 days a week with 1 day remote. I do this as an extra stream of income and love working with pets! I currently live in an apartment, has a lot of space and in a quiet neighborhood. There are parks nearby and a walkable neighborhood, which are great for walks!
About: I have been a pet owner and animal lover my entire life. I have owned dogs, cats, a bird, and fish. I have years of experience pet sitting for neighbors, family, and friends where they have relied on me to feed, walk, entertain, brush, and bathe their dogs. I enjoy getting to know and interacting with all animals and can’t wait to get to know yours! I am currently on my summer break from college, so I have a fairly flexible schedule and availability to walk, pet sit, and board your pets! I provide loving and attention care in both my home and my client’s home, by making pets feel safe and comfortable. I make sure to provide multiple walks a day and give plenty of time for play.
“We hired Megan to check in on our puppy while we were out for a long afternoon, and she was fantastic! She was prompt with communication, very professional, and most importantly, incredibly caring with our pup. Having Megan there gave us real peace of mind knowing our puppy was in good hands. She sent photo updates throughout the visit, and we could clearly see how happy and relaxed our puppy was. We would absolutely recommend Megan to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”
“Dasha was awesome! She texted me updates throughout Wilma's walk/visit and even brought in our packages from our front porch. She followed all of the directions we left to a T, but most importantly she took great care of our dog and made her long day alone less lonely. We will definitely use her again. Wilma had a great time with Dasha!”
About: Admittedly I have limited experience when it comes to taking care of pets. I have had a Great Dane as a kid but that's about it. However, I am more than willing to learn more about pet care. Whether it's walking a dog or taking care of a cat, it doesn't matter to me. I am currently working at a part-time restaurant job, taking a college class so I may transfer to another college one day, and volunteering at the museum of natural history. When I'm near animals, I give them my undivided attention. When I had my Great Dane as a kid, I've managed to feed him and take him on walks (I had to have help with him; he was nearly as big as me at the time.)

“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!”
“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.”
“Tara and Peter are great dog sitters! I received pictures and update daily. The pups were treated like family pets. I would definitely leave my pups with them in the future.”
“Takia hosted my sheepadoodle during some late planned holiday travel. She was very accommodating as we feed a raw diet to my dog, and her communication and updates were great during my time away.”
“Anna was wonderful with my pup and is just a special person who loves animals. Her home was amazing and is perfect for any dog. The backyard was a special treat for sure for my Chip. I cannot recommend Anna and her home enough. I knew my dog was very well taken care of and in great hands. Excellent communication as well. Thank you Anna and Gabe too 😘 ❤️”
“Boarding with Clifford was simple in every step of the process! He took great care of our pup. His big fenced in back yard is the perfect spot for everyone to play and get their energy out! We were very happy with Clifford's care and will look to return in the future!”
“Jason was patient and thoughtful with our elderly dog. He made the accommodations we needed to meet his special needs. I was glad he was there for our dog while we were out of town!”
“She did a great job and my usually very shy and scared cat warmed up to Stephanie and her family fairly quickly! I have nothing but good things to say about her. Also, she was very flexible on the pick up time and I couldn’t be more appreciative. Highly recommend to use her for your animal sitting needs!”
“Cathy took wonderful care of our dog while we were away for 5 days. I can’t say enough good things about her. She was easy to communicate with, she sent photos everyday, and checked in so we knew all was well with our boy. If you’re looking for a friendly and reliable sitter I’d highly recommend Cathy!”
“Katlyn did a wonderful job watching my dog. She was quick to respond to messages, sent lots of picture updates and it was evident she truly cares about animals. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Colleen was absolutely wonderful! She has a calm demeanor and was so loving to my Poppy while away for a week. I received daily updates and loved seeing through photos the bond Poppy and her lab, Peaches, developed. In fact, tonight a yellow lab appeared on the TV in an ad and Poppy went wild barking. I think she already misses her new friend and it has at even been 24 hours. I will most certainly use Colleen for future boarding.”

“Lillian is for sure a dog whisperer! She sent me a update each day with pictures. Blondie remembered her from our meet and greet! I love the experience! I will return!!”
“Angel was fantastic! She was easy to work with, highly communicative, and Walt came back happy and well cared for. She gave daily updates with lots of photos so I always knew how Walt was doing. He can be a little anxious but settled in really well. Angel was also very flexible with pick up and drop off times when our plans changed. Would definitely use Angel again!”
“I recently relocated to NC and after having a great Rover family where I came from, it was important to find a new Rover home where I felt my best buddy, Ollie was happy. After one visit, I think I found one! OllIe loves to play with other dogs and Austin expressed how happy Ollie appeared playing chase at Austin’s home with his dogs. Since Ollie got home, he’s been himself, but slept most of the day his first day home. Clearly he was tired! Thanks Austin.”
“Alayna was super kind and responsive. Sent lots of pictures of my pup while I was gone! My dog just ran right into her house when I dropped her off, so I knew it was going to go well. I plan to utilize her services in the future!”
“As usual Elandra was great! Marley was excited to see her and with this being her 2nd time with Elandra I was happy to see that she was excited. Elandra definitely has a repeat booker in me.”
