“It was our first time leaving our pup since we’ve had her. We need a last minute sitter and Oren took her in and did so good with her. We were given so many updates and pictures any time we asked. She even was taken to a dog park to run and play. We will definitely be booking him for our next vacation.”
“Jennifer was amazing and helped us out so much in a pinch. Highly recommend and would definitely board with her again! She sent lots of pictures and gave us a peace of mind his entire stay.”
“Erin was available on very short notice for a holiday weekend for both of our pups. We have to very sweet, happy boys, but they are both big…one being a giant Newfoundland who is full of 1 y/o energy 😉 She was so accommodating and sent us updates and photos so we knew the boys were doing just fine. She was quick to respond and the boys were happy as could be. We would definitely come to Erin for future needs again!”
“Abby and her family were really loving with my Razzle. Great communication and pictures. Razzle had fun playing with her two fur babies and running around in their big backyard. Thank you so much we will definitely use you again.”
“Melissa did an amazing job with my two boys! I could tell how much they loved spending time with her and her sister. The boys came home happy and well rested. She was very communicative and kind throughout the entire process and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for boarding services! I am looking forward to re-booking in the future. Thank you again!!!”
“Bazinga looked so happy staying at Rachel’s for the weekend. From the pictures she shared and the regular updates I could tell he was well taken care of. The only problem I had is that he didn’t look like he wanted to come home after a fun weekend playing with his new friends. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend Rachel. We don’t travel a lot but I’m sure we’ll be back when we do.”
“We had a great experience— super communicative and flexible, with lots of photos and check-in’s so that I knew that everything was going ok. I appreciate the effort that went into helping my Eddie feel comfortable and confident in the new space!”
About: I have been around dogs and cats for most of my life. In college, I worked at a boarding and training service for dogs. I currently have three of my own, and love being a dog mom. I treat my dogs like they are my children, and I enjoy being around animals all the time! I am a teacher, so during the summer months I have a lot of availability. I am looking to help out those who are busy or work during the summer. I can drop in to let out your pet and play with them for 10-15 minutes. For walking services, I will spend 30 minutes walking, and then play for 10-15 minutes. I have a spacious home and yard, but it is not fenced in. I always go outside with the pets and supervise them. We live in a safe neighborhood. My dogs are friendly and well-socialized; they enjoy being around other animals.
“Fantastic service! Very accommodating to my travel schedule with pick-up & drop-off. Great communication in very timely way including daily updates. Very knowledgeable of dogs, and how she introduced my dog to her two. Even allowed me to meet her pups. I’m in process of booking again, and very grateful for Lisa and her thorough care of Winston!”
“Novalee/Brooke G. is a fantastic pet sitter! Our dog stayed with her for a week while I was out of town and he had the BEST TIME at her house! He spent his days romping with her adorable pups, playing inside and outside and sniffing all the smells on their neighborhood walks. Novalee also took him on excursions to various pet-friendly stores and family get togethers - which meant he rarely spent anytime alone. Her level of care is unmatched and we know that anytime our dog is with her, he is loved just like her own. I cannot recommend Novalee more highly!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life. Growing up my family had a golden retriever, Yorkshire terrier and beagle lab mix. I recently lost my 17 year old cava-poo. I’m currently working part time and have Mondays and Fridays available to help you out any way I can. Weekends are also flexible for your needs. I have a fenced in backyard to keep your dog safe. I also have a large crate inside if needed. My cat is super friendly and gets along with all pets.
“Emily took great care of our dog, and from pictures and updates it looked like Sunny had the best time and also made friends with her pup! Will definitely bring Sunny back to her in the future!”
“Haleigh was great! I felt my pup was safe and enriched in her care, and I appreciate the updates she sent me throughout the sitting period. Will definitely request her services again if ever I am in need. Thank you Haleigh!”
“We could tell that Stella enjoyed her time with Betsy & Gordon and their children. We were very selective in our selected sitters leading up to our European vacation. This was our first out of the country vacation away from Stella. Betsy and Gordon provided us with great communication leading up to the booking, and great communication throughout. Easing my fur momma worries. We hope that Stella will visit again soon!”

“Payed attention to detail, took great care of my two cats while out of town, and updated me if time of arrival was going to change based off originally scheduled time. Great in all ways!”
About: My family dog found my first cat while we were out on a walk. He was a little guy that still needed bottle-fed and I fell in love with cats from that point on. He was my heart cat and was with me through many ups and downs in my life and the birth of my son. The cats that have come into my life have all been strays, with two being born in our bathroom six years ago! I currently have 3 cats and one has had medications for urinary issues so I can administer meds. I also understand the importance of making sure litter boxes are clean so cats want to use that space instead of any other.
“Always love Kari D. Communicates well including pictures or and scheduling modifications. She even took care of our fur baby for one extra feeding when we were running really late getting back from our trip😻😻😻!”
About: I have had cats and furry friends all of my life. I had a tuxedo cat ever since I was wee little to a black cat and a calico kitty. I love animals and have always taken care of cats. I will treat your little one like my own!
“Was out of town for three weeks for work and needed to find a cat sitter for the first time. As anxious as I was leaving my two kitties alone with someone else Kery made it super easy and comforting while away. If you are looking for a pet sitter Kery is my recommendation.”
About: I have been taking care of animals most of my life. I started dog sitting/walking when I was 14. Many people have relied on me to care for their animals. I am gentle and loving, but I am strong enough to not allow dogs to drag me down the road. I am currently unemployed, and I am not starting school until the fall. This has given me a lot of free time, so I thought this would be a fun way to get some exercise and make some money on the side. As well as dog-sitting, I started babysitting at 14. I learned a lot of patience because of that. So when I care for my dog, or others, I treat that animal with as much patience and love as I would a child.
“Krystina is the best sitter I've had yet! She's so good with my dogs and they love her. She always left thorough messages for me and took beautiful pictures at each visit. She cleaned up messes and gave my elderly dog his medicine. She will be our go-to sitter from now on!”
“Courtney was lovely and took wonderful care of our cat and two guinea pigs. She sent us pictures everyday and came to meet us before we left for vacation. 10/10 would recommend.”

About: I have had experience with doggos ever since I was a little kiddo. We had a Japanese Kai doggo up until recently and I have also had some part time jobs taking care of dogs for my friends and family. I will love your furry friend as my own! I am currently a full time college student in the school year and a part time college student in the summer. I work online and will have all the time in the world to play with your pets and take care of them! I live at a house with friendly neighbors but not a fenced in yard. We have trees on our property that shield the road from our house.
About: I’ve always been the go to person when someone needs their dog picked up, let out or watched. I’ve had animals my entire life from horses to dogs. I am a registered nurse who works 3 days a week. I am currently looking for a side gig that is baby friendly so my son can tag along on walks. Your dogs will not be left out of my sight! I would never want anything bad to happen on my watch, as dogs are considered family.
“Novalee (aka: Brooke G.) is an amazing dog sitter and we cannot recommend her more! On the days our dog was scheduled to be with her, we needed early drop offs and flexible pickup times - both of which she easily accommodated. Our senior dog had the absolute BEST time hanging out with Novalee and her husband and their puppy crew (he slept like a baby after coming home because he had so much fun playing!) We absolutely 100% recommend Novalee and will definitely utilize her in the future when we need to go out of town!”
About: We will spoil your pups as if they are our own! I work from home and my husband and daughter are also home in the evenings. You can rest assured your pet will have plenty of attention from our family and from our dogs. We have used Rover services many times ourselves and we know that leaving your dog in the care of others can make you feel nervous. We will be certain to send pics and/or videos to keep you update on the well being of your loved one(s). Our dogs will love and love on your dog. As I work from home I have a lot of availability and flexibility to fit your schedule! We have a fenced in yard with dog door access. Your dogs will have as much access to the inside, or outside as you or they would prefer. Our two friendly pups will love to play either way.
About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets with diverse personalities, health conditions, and behavioral needs. I have helped care for a Husky for nine years, managing health challenges and providing consistent, patient care. I also care for rescued cats and have experience pet sitting cats that require special attention around other animals. I focus on building trust, following routines, and ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I care for my own cats every day and have experience providing care for both dogs and cats through feeding, playtime, exercise, medication schedules when needed, and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate time to walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting while ensuring each pet receives attentive, reliable care and plenty of affection. When caring for pets, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, administering basic care instructions, and giving pets plenty of attention and companionship. I pay close attention to each pet's behavior, health, and comfort level and provide regular updates to owners. My goal is to ensure pets receive safe, reliable, and compassionate care while maintaining the environment and routine they are accustomed to. With a spacious house, I easily can keep my two cats away if a pet doesn’t enjoy their presence. Though my cats are lovers of all, I understand if other pets aren’t the same.
“Jenn watched my puppy for the first time today and did a fantastic job! He has a somewhat complicated medical condition - she read about it before we met and handled it wonderfully. He was so happy (and tired) afterwards, and he loved playing with the other dogs in the house. Would definitely recommend!”
About: Hi! I grew up on a hobby farm of sorts - chickens, goats, calves, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, and even the occasional injured wild bird or rabbit. I have since moved around, explored the country, and landed here in Henry County. During my trvels, I voluntered at many shelters as well as adopted 5 dogs who have sinced crossed the rainbow bridge. I now have two big squishy pups who love traveling and soaking up rays of sunshine. I work from home during the week and have a few home depot shifts on the weekend. I work from home during the week and home depot on the weekends. We like going for morning and evening walks along with some rolling around in the back yard over lunch. This will depend on the pet and his/her personality. I have many ways of separating animals should it be needed. Or, if wveryone is getting along, we have a nice big back ars for playtime and wrastling.

About: Hi, I’m Ariel! I’m a former nurse and now a stay-at-home mom with a lifelong love for animals. Caring for others has always been a big part of who I am, and that same compassion extends to every pet I meet. I understand that pets are family, and I treat each one with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Whether your furry friend needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication administration, or simply a comforting presence while you’re away, I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and personalized care. As someone who is home throughout the day, I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention and companionship. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my day. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention are things I genuinely look forward to. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure each pet gets the time, consistency, and care they deserve while they’re with me I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. Every pet has different needs, and I’m happy to tailor my care to their personality, energy level, and routine
“Samantha took care of our 5 month old puppy and she was great! He stayed over night with her and he had a great time! Her dog gets along with others and Tito was so excited to have a playmate for the day! She has experience with fostering dogs so she definitely knows how to care for them! Would recommend anyone to her for day care needs!!”
About: I have had my dog for over 8 years, and many other animals come and go in my life that I’ve given all the love and attention to! I love to take walks around my neighborhood and be outside as much as possible. I have a fenced in back yard . Special skills include playing fetch, providing treats, and a lot of cuddles and scratches. I am home most weekends because I work full-time and am a student, and dog-sitting would give me the opportunity to get some exercise and have a change of pace.I work from home 100% of the time so I can be flexible during the week with your pup. I work from home 100% of the time so being home with your pup and attention is a given! Having my own dog, I understand the importance of not just being let outside, but also providing stimulating activity. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run around and play. Also have a large crate in case of needing it.
“Amy was absolutely amazing! This was our first Rover experience, and she truly set the bar high. From the start, her communication was great and she was incredibly accommodating by willing to meet us last minute for a quick meet and greet. Her fenced-in backyard was perfect for Rico to run and play, and we loved how many photo updates she sent us throughout the day. You can tell she genuinely cares about dogs and their well-being. Rico came home happy and totally exhausted after a fun day of daycare. We’ll definitely be booking with Amy again the next time we need someone to watch Rico!”

About: My years of experience is for professional experience. Years personal experience is well over 20. I’ve had pets all my life growing up from exotics to cats and dogs. Professionally I’ve been a pet groomer (can do small animals, dogs and cats) and a shift manager at a pet store where I was a pet specialist, dog groomer, and pet nutritionalist. I have experience with fish, dogs, cats, pocket pets (hamsters, rats, mice, Guinea pigs, rabbits ect.), reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, arachnids. I have certifications in pet grooming, animal body language, and pet care. Formerly a fear certified pet groomer (not activity grooming anymore but I plan to get that back). Feel free to message me with any questions or concerns you may have. I’m going to school full time all online so when pet sitting I am able to take my course work with me while I take care of your pets. I will follow all instructions, I have slip leads that I will use over the collars so that way if anything happens during walks outside there’ll be extra protection. I will pick up after your dog. Make sure water is available 24/7 and make sure feeding schedules are on time. I can also take care of exotic pets, fish, and I have an amazing green thumb! So even your plants will get the best care.
About: I recently graduated from a vet tech program and have gotten my license and work at a hospital in Perrysburg. I have also been a nurse for 10 years so I have a lot of medical background. I have 3 cute cats and 3 rats. I get a lot of experience with dogs, cats and even some pocket pets at work. I love animals and have so much compassion for them. I would love to spend time with your pets whether its walking or spending some time playing while you’re away. I lived on a farm as a child and we constantly had cats and dogs. I would like to think I am great with animals and understanding their needs. I love seeing animals that are happy and well taken care of. I currently work 2 days a week so I can almost always make something work. I am even willing to stop before and after work to check on your pets. I understand how scary it can be for animals when meeting new people. I make sure to always give them their space and respect their boundaries. I let them set the pace for getting to know each other.
About: From since before I can remember, I've always loved animals. As a kid I wanted to a dog in the worst way but we never had the room. When I was 10, our first family dog showed up under the Christmas tree and I was hooked. There have been few times in my life where I haven't had a dog to take care of. I've worked in a vet office, an animal rescue, and have helped take care of dogs for friends and family when they go out of town. I currently work part-time so I have the flexibility to provide your furbaby with the best care. Daily walks and play time are already built into our daily routine and your pup can join in on the fun! I have a very large fenced in yard and live on a dead end road so traffic is minimal around our home. Our two dogs are very friendly and love to have visits from other dog friends. Our home is large enough that a separate space can be created for your pup if they feel overwhelmed or just need some quiet time. A crate can also be utilized if needed.
About: I've grown up with pets and have since always come home to one. I started pet sitting in high school and continued to sit for the same and new families for years. I love all dogs and got my cat about two years ago. With my years of experience, I have cared for puppies up to senior dogs, cats, and some special needs animals. I love all animals and would be thrilled to care for yours! I am currently a part-time student in college and have a lot of time. I do have some schoolwork, but it's very light and I pretty much have an open week. I also have weekends free, so I am very flexible and can work whenever. Your pet's wellbeing, safety, and comfort is my top priority. I am an avid rule-follower and love thorough instructions to be able to give your pet the best care they need and deserve. I have my own cat and have trusted fellow Rover sitters and would love to be able to do the same. I believe in leaving a place the same or better than it was found, and would do the same when visiting your home.
About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was a teenager, worked in a kennel during grad school, and have extensive personal experience with senior and geriatric dogs, including mobility issues, medication routines, monitoring comfort, and hospice-style care. Currently a cat owner and love them too. I work mostly from home, so I can schedule my days around other obligations. I'm happy to do visits either during the work day or in morning or evening hours. I'm happy caring for any type of pet, I have experience with special diets, meds, putting dogs in crates, cats in carriers, mobility devices , etc. I also love to interact, talk to, and play with dogs, cats, birds, anything.
About: I’ve grown up having 3 dogs my entire life, as well as cats. Since I was 16, I’ve been housesitting for my aunt for at least a week out of every year. Which requires taking care of 5 dogs, 3 cats, chickens, mice, sugar gliders, a parakeet, fish, and turtles. 2 of the dogs required medication multiple times a day so I have experience with that as well. I currently work every 3rd day, which leaves 5 days out of the week completely available to come by and walk your dog or stop in and feed animals. I have experience walking dogs on leashes as well as if I stop by and let them go potty I have no issue picking up after dogs as well. I will make sure they’re fed and safely put up if need be before leaving. I will also be sure to send plenty of pictures and updates!

About: While I am somewhat new to dog/cat sitting, I have grown up with 2 dogs and 3 cats in my household. I also recently adopted my own kitten who I take care of myself! I’m currently back from school for the summer so I am just looking for a part-time job until then. I have a lot of time on my hands, so I’m just looking for good opportunities. I often care for my pets by making sure they always have enough food and water and time of attention and exercise. If someone has specific needs or instructions, I’d follow as told.
About: I grew up watching a lot of Animal Planet, back when Animal Channel was Steve Erwin, Jeff Corwin, Meerkat Manor, and various Vet shows, and I've always had cats around me at home and at my grandparent's. I've also walked and cared for dogs for family off and on over the years. I promise to do my best to take care of your fur babies as if they were my own! I can't do any boarding or stay overs as I have two of my own cats I need to love on, but I'm currently part-time, so I am fairly flexible to make time for your fur babies otherwise. I fully understand that some pets want space from strangers outside the necessary while others need someone to hang out with them and tire them out. I'm comfortable to providing whatever your pet needs.
About: I have had dogs all my life and I have pet sit for many of family members for years. I also worked in a kennel for two summers. I also go to school for pre-vet so I work with animals all the time. I am a college student at the university so mornings are hard with school but afternoons are open. I am available on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays after 2pm. I don’t have a pet at the moment so yours would not have to worry. I can easily crate if needed be and we have a huge yard for them to run around.
About: I've take care of many different kinds of pets since I was 10. Ranging from cats (young, old, special needs, etc), dogs (young, old, special needs, etc), horses (young, old, special needs, etc), multiple type of goats, chickens, geese, reptiles, hamsters, bunnies, and more. I love to be able to take care of your pets while you are out, this can includes grooming, baths, enriching training, plenty of walks and cuddles, and more. I take care of neighbors pets along with family friends, consistently for over 4 years. I am currently a full time student but have gaps in between classes (every 2 or so hours) to come say hi to pets and get them out and about. My classes start no earlier than 10:00 so I will be able to give breakfast and morning cuddles, my classes also go no later that 4:50 so I will be back to your pets around dinner time. If you need other accommodations please let me know so I can see what we can work out! For me taking care of your pet is my number 1 priority. I approach all animals on their terms and like to listen to their cues. Making sure you and your animals are comfortable while I take care of them is a must.
About: I have professionally taken care of dogs and cats for over 7 years. I went to the Medina County Career Center for animal care in high school. I have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs and cats. I can walk them, let them out, clean up after them and play with them. I also have experience with medicating pets including insulin for diabetic pets. I also have some small animal and equine experience as well. Bathing can be tacked on as well with your own equipment provided. I have extensive educational and professional experience. I currently have 1 dogs, 3 cats and 2 ball pythons. Please feel free to send me a message and ask me any questions you may have. At the moment I have complete open availability to help take care of your pets. Please let me know in advance as I may have other plans but I should be pretty flexible with check ins and walks. I will take care of pets per owners request. I will stay outside with dogs in yards at all times to monitor them, make sure they have plenty of food and water and there is nothing that they can get into. They will get plenty of play, love and snuggles and get to explore on walks as well.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many breeds and sizes since i was very young. This included providing food, water, medications, bathing, cleaning up after the dogs and more. I previously worked at a dog daycare so I understand dog body language and know how to approach appropriately. I am in school at The University of Findlay for Animal Science/Pre-Veterinary. I will do my best to fit your furry friends into my schedule! I provide drop in visits every 4-8 hours based on your pets needs. I am knowledgeable on the use of oral or injected medications as well.
About: I have been taking care of animals most of my life. I started dog sitting/walking when I was 14. Many people have relied on me to care for their animals. I am gentle and loving, but I am strong enough to not allow dogs to drag me down the road. I am currently unemployed, and I am not starting school until the fall. This has given me a lot of free time, so I thought this would be a fun way to get some exercise and make some money on the side. As well as dog-sitting, I started babysitting at 14. I learned a lot of patience because of that. So when I care for my dog, or others, I treat that animal with as much patience and love as I would a child.
About: We have both personal and professional experience taking care of pets. Kama has been working in and with dog/cat kennels for 7+ years now. I (Bruce) have had dogs small and large pretty much my entire life, as well as a few cats here and there. We love animals and want the best care for your furry family members! Kama works from home so taking care of pet's immediate needs won't be a problem and Bruce is a real estate agent which allows for a flexible schedule. We have a fenced-in back yard with a 6-foot tall privacy fence, pet's run free in the home and we have an extra crate if needed.

“It was our first time leaving our pup since we’ve had her. We need a last minute sitter and Oren took her in and did so good with her. We were given so many updates and pictures any time we asked. She even was taken to a dog park to run and play. We will definitely be booking him for our next vacation.”
“Jennifer was amazing and helped us out so much in a pinch. Highly recommend and would definitely board with her again! She sent lots of pictures and gave us a peace of mind his entire stay.”
“Erin was available on very short notice for a holiday weekend for both of our pups. We have to very sweet, happy boys, but they are both big…one being a giant Newfoundland who is full of 1 y/o energy 😉 She was so accommodating and sent us updates and photos so we knew the boys were doing just fine. She was quick to respond and the boys were happy as could be. We would definitely come to Erin for future needs again!”
“Abby and her family were really loving with my Razzle. Great communication and pictures. Razzle had fun playing with her two fur babies and running around in their big backyard. Thank you so much we will definitely use you again.”
“Melissa did an amazing job with my two boys! I could tell how much they loved spending time with her and her sister. The boys came home happy and well rested. She was very communicative and kind throughout the entire process and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for boarding services! I am looking forward to re-booking in the future. Thank you again!!!”
“Bazinga looked so happy staying at Rachel’s for the weekend. From the pictures she shared and the regular updates I could tell he was well taken care of. The only problem I had is that he didn’t look like he wanted to come home after a fun weekend playing with his new friends. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend Rachel. We don’t travel a lot but I’m sure we’ll be back when we do.”
“Fantastic service! Very accommodating to my travel schedule with pick-up & drop-off. Great communication in very timely way including daily updates. Very knowledgeable of dogs, and how she introduced my dog to her two. Even allowed me to meet her pups. I’m in process of booking again, and very grateful for Lisa and her thorough care of Winston!”
“Novalee/Brooke G. is a fantastic pet sitter! Our dog stayed with her for a week while I was out of town and he had the BEST TIME at her house! He spent his days romping with her adorable pups, playing inside and outside and sniffing all the smells on their neighborhood walks. Novalee also took him on excursions to various pet-friendly stores and family get togethers - which meant he rarely spent anytime alone. Her level of care is unmatched and we know that anytime our dog is with her, he is loved just like her own. I cannot recommend Novalee more highly!”
“Emily took great care of our dog, and from pictures and updates it looked like Sunny had the best time and also made friends with her pup! Will definitely bring Sunny back to her in the future!”
“Haleigh was great! I felt my pup was safe and enriched in her care, and I appreciate the updates she sent me throughout the sitting period. Will definitely request her services again if ever I am in need. Thank you Haleigh!”
“We could tell that Stella enjoyed her time with Betsy & Gordon and their children. We were very selective in our selected sitters leading up to our European vacation. This was our first out of the country vacation away from Stella. Betsy and Gordon provided us with great communication leading up to the booking, and great communication throughout. Easing my fur momma worries. We hope that Stella will visit again soon!”
About: I would say what sets me apart is I’ve had special training incase of any type of emergency or mishap. I am a very forgiving person also. My schedule is fairy open so I have time to fit most a lot of things in. One of which is taking care of animals I most walk them at the park or play with animals in my house. My home can fit 1-2 dogs or 3 cats at a time
“Sarah was very nice and accommodating for our last minute needs! She communicated while we were out and took care of our needy pups like they were her own. Will be using her again in the future.”
About: I’m very good with different personalities of the dog and can work to what they feel comfortable with. Love giving them attention and making them happy! I am free from 3-7pm after I get off work. Taking care of animals fits perfectly into my afternoon schedule and is a great distressor as well. Depending on the animal we can play more outside or inside make sure they are feeling loved and happy. My dog personally loves being outside so we spend most our time on walks.
