“Michele saved my life, I always take my dog everywhere but for obvious reasons I couldn't go to Cedar Point. I contacted her and she quickly said yes. She walked her and took care of her until the afternoon. She sent me photos so I could check her status with my dog. Highly recommended. Thanks Michele.”
“Kayla was a great sitter for our pup. We needed help last minute, we did a meet and greet and then our dog stayed for a long weekend. She came home exhausted from all the fun and play. She was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Kayla for your sitting needs.”
“She's amazing!! Super accommodating when my flight was delayed from the snow. She took great care of my pup and updated me frequently with a video or picture! She's a great petsitter!!”
“This was our first experience with Erin and we couldn’t be happier. She took great care of Cali, kept us updated throughout the day via text and pictures. She was very flexible in our pick up time due to the circumstances with not knowing exactly when we would be back. Prompt response to our texts. Will be taking Cali back for this weekend.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Margaret! She took such great care of our Lightning, and kept us updated throughout our trip with the sweetest photos. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. Lightning looked so happy and relaxed—we could tell she was truly well cared for. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, easy-to-work-with and attentive sitter!”
“Annie was wonderful. She kept me updated and sent me pictures when I boarded my six month old puppy Arlo. This is my first time using Rover and doing a private boarding so she made me feel completely comfortable. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

“TEN STARS ALL DAY!! Tiffany and family were incredible with my Great Dane baby, Coffee! I've never felt so comfortable leaving him with a sitter before. I'm a dog sitter as well, and Tiffany is the only sitter I'll ever use again for my own dog. Pictures and updates daily, fabulous, and prompt communication. Thanks again Tiffany!”
“Jenni was great to work with for my pup’s care. She was responsive and clearly likes pups. My dog can have separation anxiety and not be willing to eat but he did well and seemed content. I would use her again and recommend to a friend”
“Michael has been so wonderful with our Tiny Tim. Tiny loves going over to Michael’s house when we have something going on for the day. We will always use Michael as long as he still in the business.”
“Kelsey took great care of my 2 dogs this week! (1 pitbull &1 frenchie) it was 5 nights , they played with them and kept them fed and happy the whole time and updated me randomly and also responded quickly if I had any questions about my babies!! She does have children which has previously been an anxiety point for my pit bull.. the kids were so friendly and patient and he played well with them all weekend! Overall really happy with the turnout and that he was able to play with children in a controlled environment! Will definitely use her if we go out of town again!🩷”

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. My life has been enriched by caring for kittens, puppies, adults, and seniors. I’ve given pills and eye drops to both cats and dogs. I love playing with cats and dogs and seeing them happy! It would be an honor to care for your pet. I’m the owner/operator of a new pet transportation business and have taken care of puppies during 200+ mile trips. This includes giving them water and food, cleaning them and their crate up (if they got carsick ☹️), sitting with them on breaks while they roamed the back of my SUV, and snuggles. I am excited to take care of fur babies at your home or mine! I have two cats of my own, a calico (7 yrs old) and a Siamese mix (6 yrs old), and they are amazing! 😻 I have a fenced in backyard and swimming pool (which can also be fenced off if desired by pet parent). I can feed, water, do short walks, and give medicine or eye drops (to compliant pets). I have 2 cats and am happy to provide care to cat friendly dogs at my home or I can come to yours. I’m available M-F 8-4 and for overnight stays.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wakeman
About: We have had dogs for over 50 years, all sizes, many breeds. We know your dog may need a different level of attention than others, we will make it feel at home by treating it just like you tells us to. We won’t just throw it out back with some food and water, it will get personal treatment just like our Piper does. She doesn’t work and only leaves home for a few hours to go to the store or doctor. Your dog will have supervision most of the time. Bring its favorite toy or bed, it can play fetch, ball, tug of war with Piper. The fenced yard has access via a doggy door or a human door. Piper sleeps in a crate in her own bedroom but your dog can sleep the same way it does at home, just tell us what it prefers. Bring its food and water Bowls. We will consider dogs from 40-100 lbs in case by case review. We DO NOT accept Pit Bull dogs. We request a meet and great visit prior to scheduled stay to make sure your dog is a good fit in our home.

This was our first time ever leaving our puppy, and she immediately gave us peace of mind with updates, sweet pictures, and amazing communication throughout the day. It was clear our puppy was loved and cared for like family. We are beyond grateful for her kindness, reliability, and exceptional care. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable, we highly recommend Erin and her family!”

We recently adopted our pup from a shelter and wanted to make sure he was in someone’s home while traveling to avoid any more trauma and she did a great job making sure he was comfortable. The second time we dropped him off he went right in! Our boy loved Kayla and we will definitely use her again. She is excellent with communication and you can tell she truly loves dogs. Thank you for providing a great environment for Arrow!”

About: I make sure they’re taken care of properly just like the owner wants. I’m all around an animal lover. I enjoy the walks, playing, and bonding. Availability is whenever. I love teaching dogs tricks! I like setting goals for myself and animals. I like making them feel loved. Giving them the attention and care that they need. I will do anything for anyone. I love helping others. If your animal needs special care then that’s what they will get. I will give them the best care that you ask for. I have a year old puppy that loves attention.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and currently have two dogs and two cats of my own, so caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur babies because I would only want the absolute best care for mine. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, walks, crate routines, playtime, and of course plenty of cuddles. Living with both dogs and cats has also helped me become very attentive to animal behavior and body language, which allows me to keep pets safe, calm, and happy in my care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners feel comfortable with regular updates and photos. My goal is always to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life since I have two dogs and two cats of my own. My day naturally revolves around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure my pets are happy and comfortable. I do work full time, but my job is very flexible. When I’m booked for pet sitting, I’m able to adjust my schedule or take time off to make sure I can fully focus on the pets in my care. I prioritize reliability and planning so every pet gets the attention and consistency they deserve. My home is clean, pet-safe, and thoughtfully set up to create a calm environment. I remove any hazards, keep floors clear, secure doors and gates, and ensure all pets are supervised at all times. I follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, and playtime — so they feel right at home. I understand how important trust is when it comes to your furry family members. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and communicative. I provide regular updates, photos, and quick responses so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet loves active play, cozy naps, or extra cuddles, I tailor my care to their personality and needs. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and your pet a safe, loving home away from home.
“She was so wonderful to have as a daycare watcher for my dog. My dog was tuckered out and he was so happy. She sent me photos and a video. I felt 100% confident with my dog being in her care. Her girls also loved having my dog around. I truly wish I could have stayed in the area for another day so they could watch him and he could play with them.”

“Extremely reliable, communicative, and the dogs absolutely love him—we couldn’t ask for a better daily visit than our walks with CJ! He provides so much peace of mind, knowing my dogs are being well cared for when I can’t be there. The adorable photo updates are always a joy, and it’s clear that he puts a lot of effort into building relationships with his clients—human and furry friends alike.”
About: I have always loved animals ever since I was small. My experience really started when I was able to live on my own and adopt my first pet, a female cat named Kitty, in 2001. I have flexible hours and am willing to help pretty much any time. I currently work part time for myself as an Ebay seller and I sell mostly 3D printed items. I have 3 teenage sons and a tween daughter who are also animal lovers. I have a fenced backyard if needed and I can also help at the client's home. I follow instructions well and can offer your pet safety and love on their terms.
About: Dog sitting and dog walking has always been something that I have loved. Taking care of our four legged fur babies is the best feeling. I have animals of my own so taking care of different animals daily is something that will easily fit into my daily and weekly routines. I have two cats and one dog. I take my dog for a walk about three times a week and I always spend time with my cats and dog.
About: A little about me! I have been dog sitting for over four years and truly enjoy caring for animals. My professional background includes working with children through the Boys & Girls Club of America in both after-school and summer programs, as well as working in senior assisted living communities, where I currently work full-time. I also earned my esthetician license, but I continue working in assisted living because I love building relationships and caring for others. Outside of my full-time career, pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy. I’ve always been an animal lover and have a soft spot for both dogs and cats, which I could never choose a favorite! I currently provide pet care for friends, family, coworkers, and referrals through mutual connections. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets when you’re away. My goal is to make both you and your pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. You can also expect plenty of photos, videos, and updates while you’re away. I believe staying connected with your pet brings peace of mind and helps you enjoy your time away worry free!! I currently work everyday until 2 pm except Wednesdays and Fridays I am off and work every other weekend. However I still am available everyday for house sitting. I never leave the animals longer than 8 hours! I strive to maintain your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible. Feeding times are scheduled according to your preferences, though there may occasionally be slight adjustments based on my work schedule. I make it a priority to keep pets active, engaged, and happy through playtime, walks, and other activities. My goal is to provide a comfortable, familiar environment that helps your pet feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life! I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, and a chinchilla that I’ve taken care of. I currently have two German Shepherds and two cats! I will provide patient, personalized care and treat every pet like my own. I understand that every animal has different needs, routines, and personalities, so I will focus on making them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I am entering summer break and only have track practices, so I have a lot of available time to make visits! You can also reach out any time, even same-day messages! I have a large front and back yard, and the back is also fenced in for extra safety. My dogs at home are also friendly to have a pet friend! If needed, there are also plenty of rooms in my house to separate animals too.
“Amanda communicates to me with our dog’s behavior and makes me feel confident that our dog is happy. Would recommend her to anyone needing care for any dog big or small, young or mature.”
About: Hey there! My name is Dorottya. I've taken care of different kinds of pets since I was a kid and I always seem to be a pet magnet when I visit my friends, they just can't get enough of my cuddles. I've also been known to talk and sing to animals, it makes them happy and sooths them. I believe that creating a comfortable and caring environment while pet owners are away will help bridge the gap between the times they will be together again. No one wants a sad puppy or kitty while pet parents are away. My main options on here are for house sitting and dog walking. I have worked as a nurse for 10 years, so I have a medical background. I work full-time on my own business and typically leave a couple days open to my rover clients. I'm currently working on my own business, and I'm available to pet sit and dog walk a couple days a week from 9 am to overnight when needed. I respect the homes of my clients when pet sitting, or dog walking. I love to tailor the day to fit the individual pet's needs and their schedules for feedings, medications (if pet is taking them), potty, and activities (play time or walking).
“Shadia is great! Shadia is quick to respond to a request for a dog walk, shows up on time, can handle my very old hearing impaired dog, and follows my overly detailed instructions! 😂”
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember! My family has always had multiple pets in our home at a time. I currently own a dog named Jax, and two cats named Milo and Lee! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperament. I have taken care of puppies, blind/deaf dogs, big dogs who like to take you on a walk instead 😅, cuddly and energetic labs, shy dogs who may hide, and I love them all the same! I am a nanny, so I also take my part in loving and taking care of their animals in their home or when they may travel! As a pet mom myself, I understand how big of a decision it is to search and trust for someone to look after your fur baby. That’s why I will always focus on communication and providing updates and pictures so you can feel at ease and comfortable. All animals are family, and I will treat your pet as if they were my own. When I come to your home, I promise to come with all the extra snuggles, belly rubs, or anything your pet may need to feel comfortable, keeping up with routines, required needs, and all different personalities. If your pet may need special medications, I also have experience with that area! I’m currently a college student, home full time for the summer! I go to a community college, so long term care is also available! Some hours may just change once I start again this Fall semester :) I care for each pet as if they were my own. My animals are my babies, my world, and I expect it is the same for all pet owners. You putting your trust in me to care for your babies means the world to me, and you won’t regret it! :)

About: I have been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my routine. From a young age, I helped with feeding, walking, playtime, and daily care, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each animal’s unique personality. I carry that same level of attention and care into every pet I look after today. Right now, I have open availability to pet sit whenever I am needed and when my availability changes, I will change it on here immediately! I offer in-home pet sitting at my client’s house, which helps pets stay relaxed and comfortable in their own environment. This setup allows me to provide consistent care while respecting each pet’s routine and needs.

“Michele saved my life, I always take my dog everywhere but for obvious reasons I couldn't go to Cedar Point. I contacted her and she quickly said yes. She walked her and took care of her until the afternoon. She sent me photos so I could check her status with my dog. Highly recommended. Thanks Michele.”
“Kayla was a great sitter for our pup. We needed help last minute, we did a meet and greet and then our dog stayed for a long weekend. She came home exhausted from all the fun and play. She was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Kayla for your sitting needs.”
“She's amazing!! Super accommodating when my flight was delayed from the snow. She took great care of my pup and updated me frequently with a video or picture! She's a great petsitter!!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Margaret! She took such great care of our Lightning, and kept us updated throughout our trip with the sweetest photos. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. Lightning looked so happy and relaxed—we could tell she was truly well cared for. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, easy-to-work-with and attentive sitter!”
“Annie was wonderful. She kept me updated and sent me pictures when I boarded my six month old puppy Arlo. This is my first time using Rover and doing a private boarding so she made me feel completely comfortable. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“TEN STARS ALL DAY!! Tiffany and family were incredible with my Great Dane baby, Coffee! I've never felt so comfortable leaving him with a sitter before. I'm a dog sitter as well, and Tiffany is the only sitter I'll ever use again for my own dog. Pictures and updates daily, fabulous, and prompt communication. Thanks again Tiffany!”
“Jenni was great to work with for my pup’s care. She was responsive and clearly likes pups. My dog can have separation anxiety and not be willing to eat but he did well and seemed content. I would use her again and recommend to a friend”
“Michael has been so wonderful with our Tiny Tim. Tiny loves going over to Michael’s house when we have something going on for the day. We will always use Michael as long as he still in the business.”
“Kelsey took great care of my 2 dogs this week! (1 pitbull &1 frenchie) it was 5 nights , they played with them and kept them fed and happy the whole time and updated me randomly and also responded quickly if I had any questions about my babies!! She does have children which has previously been an anxiety point for my pit bull.. the kids were so friendly and patient and he played well with them all weekend! Overall really happy with the turnout and that he was able to play with children in a controlled environment! Will definitely use her if we go out of town again!🩷”
“Scout had the best time for his overnight stay. He was loved and cared for like he was part of their family. We got pictures of his adventures throughout his stay. Whenever we are back in town and need a sitter we will reaching back out. ❤️”
“We were nervous for our first time having a dog sitter for our pup, but Christina was great! Very communicative and our little guy was well taken care of. I’d recommend her for sure.”
“I felt totally at ease leaving our standard poodle with Andreja for a 4 day weekend. She sent photos of Ruby my dog, and I appreciated it and it gave me ease in leaving her. Totally trust her and would leave Ruby with her again. Vicki Hudak”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. My life has been enriched by caring for kittens, puppies, adults, and seniors. I’ve given pills and eye drops to both cats and dogs. I love playing with cats and dogs and seeing them happy! It would be an honor to care for your pet. I’m the owner/operator of a new pet transportation business and have taken care of puppies during 200+ mile trips. This includes giving them water and food, cleaning them and their crate up (if they got carsick ☹️), sitting with them on breaks while they roamed the back of my SUV, and snuggles. I am excited to take care of fur babies at your home or mine! I have two cats of my own, a calico (7 yrs old) and a Siamese mix (6 yrs old), and they are amazing! 😻 I have a fenced in backyard and swimming pool (which can also be fenced off if desired by pet parent). I can feed, water, do short walks, and give medicine or eye drops (to compliant pets). I have 2 cats and am happy to provide care to cat friendly dogs at my home or I can come to yours. I’m available M-F 8-4 and for overnight stays.
“Katelyn and Andria are AWESOME! We were very nervous about leaving our Golden retriever with someone we didn’t know while we attended cedar pointe but the experience couldn’t have been better. Great communication and lots of happy pictures of our pup throughout the day put us totally at ease. I would highly recommend Katelyn and Andria for anyone that needs a dog sitter in the Sandusky area. Thank you so much!”
“Amanda and her family took wonderful care of Riley! Their home was warm and welcoming, and Riley was clearly very loved. She kept me updated with photos throughout his stay and was flexible, kind, and easy to communicate with. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
