“We are new to the area and recently moved. We had such a positive experience in our previous city with Rover we decided to try here. Lucky for us Pam provided just the service we were looking for and took good care of our Shiba”
“As always Lulu had a great time with Susan and Frank. Susan sends lots of pictures and Lulu seems very at home from napping in a doggie bed to playing with the other dogs in the backyard. Lulu and I both are happy and secure when she boards with Susan.”
“Sligo had the best time playing with Sarah and Brendan’s pups all weekend! Thank you so much for taking such great care of him! We will definitely be using them again :)”
“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.”
“The only issue with boarding my girls with Lynn, is that my dogs seem to suffer from postpartum depression for a couple days following their stay. You cannot find a better, more caring, surrogate dog parent for your 4 legged kids. Lots of playtime with Summer (Lynn’s girl), homemade treats, toys galore, cuddles and snuggles at will,… I could on and on… (BTW, unlike Amazon’s reviews, you can take this one to the bank!). A&J send their love to you, Lynn, and keep asking me when sre leaving town again?🙄)”
“This was the first time I used a Rover sitter and I couldn’t be more happier! Kyle was amazing!! He sent me pictures and kept in contact with me to let me know how things were going. He gave my dog constant attention and took him for walks. I truly think my dog misses him, which makes me very happy cause I know he was well taken care of by Kyle!!”
“Julie is amazing! From start to finish, she was quick to respond, provided many updates, photos and videos, and was so friendly, kind and professional. She and her family had a ton of patience for my boston terrier Lily, who is obsessed with playing tug of war and fetch. I never once worried about Lily. Julie was also very accommodating for my last minute request for a sitter, and I really appreciated that!! Don't hesitate to book her services! I definitely will again!”
“Colleen was so great with our dog while we were away! She provided nice updates throughout the trip and was very thorough in collecting information to provide the best care for our dog. 5-star dog sitter!”
“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!”
“Rex had such a good time at Tara’s. She sent us lots of pictures and videos throughout the week. We booked very last minute and they were able to accommodate us and made things easy. Thank you!”
“Our pup had such a great time with Anna! She did such a great job and sent us daily updates and pictures. We will definitely use Anna again and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, happy place for their furry friends.”
“Brittany was awesome. This was the first time my dog was away from me and she made him feel comfortable and welcome. She sent lots of pictures of what they were doing. I will definitely use her again!”
“I had always used a commercial service for boarding, so was nervous about trying this. But after my dog and I met Cheryl, that anxiety went away. Immediately I could see how positively Reka reacted to her. Cheryl kept me up to date with daily messages and a photo. This was the first time I was not worried about boarding and this was the first time Reka did not have stomach issues after getting her picked up. Everything went perfect as Cheryl is very kind, understanding and patient. I highly recommend her. I will definitely use her every time I need someone to watch Reka.”
“Liz was such an incredible sitter for our senior baby! We're so thankful to have found a new sitter and friend and definitely recommend her to everyone looking for a sitter for their pet!”
“Beth is wonderful! She was patient with my pup and instead of refusing her services to me she was willing to give him a try. Turned out to be a success! Thank you so much for putting my mind at ease and allowing my puppy a chance to develop his confidence.”
“Thomas was great. Our pup had such a great time and he treated him like family. Super responsive and accommodating and sent lots of photos. Will definitely bool Thomas again!”
“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.”

“Kim was absolutely wonderful! She was extremely communicative and reliable, and our cats loved her! And she went above and beyond helping with things around the house like packages and deliveries. I would recommend Kim to anyone!!”
“Stephanie did a great job taking care of my two cats. I had a mishap where my flight got changed and she was really flexible with watching them for a few extra days! Will definitely be looking to book her again in the future!”
“Natalie, once again, was amazing with our cat Hazel! We were away for a week and it was a stress-free time vacation knowing that Natalie was dropping in daily to check on Hazel. She took extra special care of her and always provided detailed report cards after her visits. We can’t recommend Natalie enough!!!”
“Thank you Jackie! You are a precious gem! Jackie is the best, she is very dependable and flexible. She out of her way for Spike (cat) and me to assure me that he was home and was safe. My phone was alerted last night the cat was outside so I thought it was my Spike. It turned out to be a similar cat. So be assured that when I say, “Jackie is the greatest”, It’s the truth, you better believe it!”
“Mary was so great to us and our kitties! She was very communicative, kind, and made us feel great about leaving town with our pets in her hands. She sent us pictures/videos and was very attentive. Thank you so much Mary! We will definitely be lucky to work with her again in the future.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Lauren. She was able to charm my very shy cat into letting her give him his inhaler and pill! We will definitely be using her services again.”
“What an absolutely lovely person. She did a wonderful job sitting my cat while I was away. She sent daily pics and updates. What I would also like to mention is when she came over for the initial visit my dog was here. She was severely abused by her previous owner and does not do well with strangers. The minute Kimberly walked in my house my dog acted like Kimberly was her long lost friend. Ive never seen her react like that to a stranger. Animals are good judges of character. I would recommend Kimberly, and I plan on using her services in the future.”
“Michael was fantastic with my cat. He took great care to make sure I knew her daily goings on and communication was amazing. I highly recommend Michael!”
“Brittany to the rescue! We had to go out of town at the last minute and needed a sitter for our little fur baby. Brittany was easy to book and took great care of our kitty. We got updates every day and will definitely book again in the future!”
“Erin is one of the best sitters in Cleveland! She was so attentive and caring with my two cats while I was gone and when my cat developed an eye infection, she treated him with the medicated eye drops everyday until it resolved. My cats made such a special bond with her after a couple days. She was punctual, responsible and communicative about her visits. Will definitely look forward to having her back!”
“Where do I even begin? We have a 20-year-old senior cat, and we had never trusted anyone else to care for him before. Leaving him was something I was incredibly anxious about, but Alexis made the entire experience so much easier. She was so patient, kind, and gentle with our sweet senior boy. She did an amazing job giving him his medications and always kept me updated after each visit with thoughtful messages and pictures. Honestly, I don’t know who she comforted more—me or my cat! I’m forever grateful for the love and care she gave him while we were away. Knowing he was in such capable, compassionate hands gave me such peace of mind. I’ll admit I’m a bit of a nervous Nelly and very particular, especially when it comes to my cat. Alexis followed every one of my detailed instructions, little tips, and routines without hesitation, and she made me feel completely at ease. I truly can’t recommend Alexis enough. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet as if they were her own, she’s the one. Thank you, Alexis, for taking such wonderful care of our boy. It meant more to us than you’ll ever know.”
“Charlotte was incredibly efficient, always arriving on time and following my instructions. Communication was a breeze; she kept me updated with photos and messages, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loves her! He was happy and well cared for, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Kacey took excellent care of my two cats when I was gone and went above and beyond what I would expect from a sitter. I would definitely hire again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring cat sitter.”
“Gina is amazing! She took such good care of our needy little guy. She is so attentive and takes the best pictures! We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Elinor as our cat sitter! She was a great communicator from our initial request through her very last visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away on an extended trip. Our cats don't always come out for strangers, so we were especially happy to see that they warmed up to her enough to come out for treats and even play with her during some of her visits. She sent us cute photos and thoughtful updates each day, which we really appreciated and loved seeing while we were away. Our flight home was unexpectedly delayed, and she was incredibly flexible about adding an extra day with the girls. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter!”
“Alexis was a great care taker for our dachshund over the weekend! She was very open and receptive to any specific requests we had, shared pictures and videos. Overall our dog appeared to enjoy the time with her and we would definitely reach out again the next time we are out of town.”

“We are so lucky to have found Susan (and Jason)! Nugget had another great day and I’m always so confident he is safe and well cared for while I’m at work. We are grateful to be repeat customers!”
“My husband and I were traveling across country with our fur baby, Bella and he wanted to visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. They do not allow dogs (unless they are service dogs) into the hall of Fame, so as a Rover sitter myself, I looked for a sitter here. I found Pam and she was great! She provided the care and attention that Bella needed. When we left the Hall of Fame to go pick Bella up, I texted Pam to let her know we were on our way. Pam was thoughtful enough to take Bella for a walk before we picked her up and continued for a four hour drive. I highly recommend her!”
“Kyle was absolutely wonderful! He helped me and my family out in a pinch!! He treated our dogs like his own and was an amazing communicator! He went out of his way to pick up our girls and sent many pictures. Highly recommend and we will use him again! 😊”
“We'd highly recommend Angie as a sitter! Our dog has pretty bad separation anxiety, and Angie made sure she felt comfortable while in her care. She's very attentive and provides lots of updates and pictures!”
“Thomas and his partner Hannah were wonderful with Lina from the moment we all first met. They are friendly and accommodating and have a real love for dogs. I am so grateful to leave Lina in such competent hands when I visit Ohio!”
“Samantha is awesome! We are preparing for a long vacation so we wanted our puppy to get to know Samantha a long stay. Onyx came home very tired from playing! Thanks Samantha!”
“Mary is so kind and truly loves animals. She was so kind and patient with my little puppy. She kept me updated throughout the day to ease my anxiety of leaving my dog for the first time. She also is very flexible in her schedule which is exactly what I was looking for. Excited to have Mary watch her again!”
“Super easy to get along with. My dog loved being able to go outside and run around and play with their dogs. They sent a lot of pictures and I know my dog had a great time!! Will love to use them again!”
About: My husband and I own a very sweet, playful Great Dane/mastiff and a pure bred English Mastiff. We have experience with all kinds of dogs and other animals. We have a large finished upstairs where our dog loves to run and play. We have a large backyard that is fully fenced/gated. We walk daily (in nice weather). We have fun toys to play with and a whole room for your dog to sleep in (instead of a cage) but if your dog prefers a cage we have a huge one he can sleep in (or you can bring your own). I stay home so your pet will have plenty of company! We have three young girls who absolutely love playing with dogs. They are gentle and dogs always love them.
“Abby was amazing with our coonhound and beagle puppy! Exercise is a big thing for him, and she made sure he was well exercised and played with! He had an awesome time!”
“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.”
“Nicole is a gem! She has been such a blessing for my big boy Deazle! She wasn’t intimidated by his breed (pit) and always welcomed him into her home lovingly. Nicole does a wonderful job at updating Deazles stays with her, and never fails to be very specific as to what ‘the kids’ did for the day. She has a HUGE backyard and the dogs love it! When the weather isn’t nice enough to go outside (bc this is OHIO), she plays with them in her basement. Nicole ROCKS”
“Wubbie seemed like she was right at home! Sarah kept me updated with lots of pictures and daily walk updates! I would love to have Wubbie stay with them again in the future when needed! Thanks so much for taking such good care of Wubbie!”
“Erica is so patient, easy to coordinate with, and goes above and beyond to make sure Lucky has a fun day! She takes photos to send which makes me feel reassured he had a good day with her! thanks for everything! I appreciate it and will reach back out soon!!”
“Tom, Tolley and the whole family are awesome. They take great care of my dog, Max. He really enjoys his time with them and I enjoy all the pictures. Thanks, guys!”
“Karma was great! Sent plenty of pics and feedback to put us at ease! We have a very nervous little guy and she did great with understanding his needs and accommodating them”
“Macy had a great day with Leslie and all her fur friends. This was Macy's first time away from home and Leslie did a great job with easing my mind and making Macy feel welcome. Leslie has great communication and sent videos throughout the day.”

“Mike was so great with our dog Toby. He walked Toby twice a day for two weeks while we were on vacation, and also fed him. Mike was terrific communicating with us the entire time to let us know how things were going and alerting us to any issues he saw at our house while we were gone. Thank you, Mike!!!!”
“10/10 I would recommend Alyssa. She came and walked our beloved dog while we were out of town and our dog was home with gramma. She came and met him before booking to make sure they were a good fit. She was flexible with the schedule when the weather called for rain. She kept us updated with pictures and summaries of their walks. She also gave him his meds, treats and water.”
“Chris was wonderful! The boys absolutely loved him. We have a stronger/less leash trained GSD I was worried about and he had no issues. He even set up a water station along the walk route to make sure they were well hydrated!”
“Molly has been so great for my dogs! She does a great job with my “problem” golden, Bella. I love the detailed report cards. It’s been such a relief for me to have her when I travel for work. She is Highly recommended.”
“Emily is friendly, kind and attentive, and I trust her to take great care of my Artie. She was even kind enough to bring my packages inside when she came over to walk him. I highly recommend booking with Emily.”
“Kimberly has been walking our dog, Frankie, once a week, for about a month now. As a dog owner, my biggest priority when finding someone to come into our house and take care of our dog is trusting that person to keep him safe and love on him like we do. And that’s exactly what Kimberly provides for us! I always know that Frankie is in good hands and Kimberly always provides the cutest note about their walk together. He can be a challenging dog but Kimberly is great with him! We really appreciate the peace of mind that we’ve gotten since hiring Kimberly :)”
About: I am retired, so I have plenty of time and availability to visit, house sit, play, and walk dogs around their neighborhoods or dog parks. I have no problem cleaning/refreshing litter boxes. I care for our two cats, and even though they're both semi-feral, they still need a lot of TLC and attention. Daily food prep, litter box maintenance, and play time. I take care to follow clients' wishes for their loved pets in their homes, including feeding, cleaning, playing, and ensuring the cats and/or dogs are loved and cared for.
“Makenna helped us out during a busy time in our lives by taking our puppy for walks. She is trustworthy, always very punctual and a great communicator. My puppy also loves her.”
About: Ever since I was in middle school, I have volunteered at the food bank, senior homes, elementary schools, preschools, and taking care of pets. I am well-versed in handling numerous conflicts. I am currently a new grad, whose job is summer based and am looking to be busy during the winter and spring months. I will be picking up subbing soon, but that is earlier in the day. I am comfortable with caring for pets however their family see fit. It is always important to keep pets in a routine and to follow instructions. I have no issues with implementing them.
About: Even though we do not have dogs ourselves, I grew up with many rescue dogs. Friends and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pups! I love to play with them, take them for long walks, or just cuddle. I am a full-time university professor. During the school year, I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I am also available Tuesday and Thursday late afternoons evenings. I am happy to schedule weekend care. My summer (mid-May to mid-August) is much more open and flexible. I am available for multiple daily home visits, but not for overnights. Since I had a "super senior" cat who needed daily meds, I am punctual and diligent about care. I am excellent at paying attention to details. I give all animals attentive, loving care!
“James was very easy going and patient with my puppy Moka. He took her for a nice extended walk, fed her and most of all, allowed her to warm up to him before he took her out.”
About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking since before I can remember. My family members were all allergic to animals so I was never able to have my own to love and care for. Pet sitting and dog walking was a way to get my animal “fix” without causing any allergic reactions in our household! I also ride horses and have owned and cared for many horses over the past ten years. Currently, I am taking a break from owning a horse but still get to ride occasionally! I do have references available if need be and would be happy to share to whomever is interested. I now have my own dog, Zuri, I rescued her in October 2020! She is the best girl ever and loves her life! I also have fostered for a few different organizations so am well versed in how each dog is different. I love all animals and would love any opportunity to give yours love when you aren’t available to do so! I work from home 4 days a week! So I am able to snuggle and play with the dogs all day! We do several walks a day & utilize enrichment toys. I live in an apartment, it’s big enough to host Zuri and one other dog comfortably. There are a few flights of stairs so would want to make sure your dog is comfortable with that.

Mike and his wife clearly care deeply for all the dogs within their care and treat those staying with them as an extended part of the family. We received regular updates about how our dog was doing and daily pictures! We would happily have him stay with them again.”
“Kyra is perfect for our dog Dakota “Koti”. Koti has stayed with her twice and loves her. I think the feeling is mutual! We never want to use anybody else.”
