“I am so thankful to have had Kristi house sit and care for my fur babies, she kept them engaged the whole time to the point where my son's and I were joking how the dogs are going to want to live with Kristi. She not only played with them, worked on tricks with them but also loved on them and we received daily pictures and updates. She even cleaned!!!! She gardened and planted plants for me. All things that needed my attention and did not get until Kristi showed up. She even found and picked up glass that was in my backyard that the dirt had been throwing up from previous owners. She went WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND!!! She made me feel safe and comfortable that everything was and would be OK. We LOVE YOU KRISTY ?”


“We greatly appreciated Livana staying with our Tank. He was so happy to go on walks and play with his toys while we were away. Livana took great care of him. She sent us updates and pictures the entire time and we couldn’t thank her enough.”


“I was nervous about leaving my furbabies with a stranger but Kori reassured me and kept her word by sending me daily photos (sometimes several) of my dogs and was in constant contact the whole time. The house was as clean as I left it and she even washed her sheets and towels! The next time we go out of time I hope she's available.”


About: Hello! My name is Lois and I am 25 years old. I live with my fiancé Aaron, he is a wonderful man, gentle, and kind man. His love for animals is equal to mine. I am from Pittsburgh originally but, I have since moved to North Jackson! I live in a sweet, cozy, home. My property is very private, with lots of land for animals to play on safely. I will be the sole caretaker for your pet, and I am able to dedicate my full attention and provide round-the-clock care and attention for your pet. I have an almost 2 year old son, that I co-parent with his father. So he is here every other week, if you prefer to arrange a time when he is or isn’t here, for your or his safety. I 100% will do that. I currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs, all are very friendly and love other animals. They are absolutely great role models for other dogs. I occasionally foster dogs that need homes, and they are absolutely incredible. Our heeler is a very big charmer and is extremely playful. Our poodle is laid back, reserved, but definitely loves to play. They both love exploring and hiking. I am outside almost all day with them, and when it’s too hot we go out in intervals. Cool off, drink/eat, refresh, and we’re back outside playing and enjoying nature. Our closest neighbor is family, and they equally love animals, our dogs will visit for treats haha. If you’d would like our animals separate from any of your animals, I can arrange that. Just please let me know ahead of time! My experience with animals: I have been around dogs, cats, and exotic animals pretty much since I was born. I've always had a passion for animals, I truly love and value everything from the tiniest bug to the tallest horse haha. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles (venomous and non-venomous) and fish. I have trained show dogs since the age of 13, and have ethically bred and assisted many litters alongside my mother and/or equally knowledgeable/highly experienced mentors. My mother was very passionate about showing dogs and was an amazing obedience trainer. She has won many shows and competitions across the country. To the point where she had #1 dogs for breed and in obedience. I have grown up and learned many techniques from her specifically. My mother and I, also have plenty of experience with rescue work, for many years we rescued dogs from high-kill shelters, we then rehabilitated them for many months before finding their destined home. We also have done years of rescue work with cats/kittens, rescuing injured and/or abandoned cats/kittens and rehabilitating them until they were eventually ready to go to their forever homes as-well. At one point in my life, I co-founded an exotic animal transport business. We traveled the country transporting exotic animals for zoos, rescues, conservations, and private collectors. At one point, having over 100 venomous/non-venomous reptiles. Obviously, I have left that behind now that I have my son. I also have alot of experience with poultry aswell, I used to raise and rescue ducks, chickens, and turkeys! I have worked in pet stores, spend lots of spare time studying, learning, and have had a lot of incredible mentors in my life. I can give advice in foods, toys, preventatives, and lots of other animal supplies. I can also give advice on any behavioral issues that your pet may have. I am currently training my poodle to be my personal service dog. I definitely have a passion for helping animals.. I find that many animals are sadly misunderstood, but every one is just as valuable and deserving of love as the next. If you are considering me as a pet sitter, please feel free to write me with any questions you may have. I’ll respond as soon as possible! Im more than willing to work on prices as-well, it’s hard to get by nowadays and I know things are easy. I’m honestly much more interested in meeting and caring for pets than making a profit from someone who just needs some help. Please feel free to look through the gallery of my photos, I would say 90% of the animals shown were either my personal pets or rescues. Otherwise, I was pet-sitting them! :) LOISW05421, https://www.rover.com/sit/loisw05421 *Discount code* I don’t work, I am blessed to be a stay-at-home mom. I wake up at 7am and go to bed at 10pm. I have full availability! I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I know how to manage dogs with anxiety, mental disorders, and some types of aggression. I have a variety of crates, if you would like me to use them. I would NEVER use a crate that is too small, and I would NEVER leave your dog alone in the crate unless you specifically request it. Your animal will be my top priority and concern, I will care and love them as if they were my own!

“Cyndi was very trustworthy and reliable while watching our two dogs while we took a family trip. Usually our dogs stay with family while we travel, but I can tell Cyndi kept them comfortable and gave them all the snuggles they needed! She did a beautiful job cleaning our home too, which was completely unexpected! Cyndi is warm and welcoming and I'm confident she'd be an excellent care taker for anyone's pets and anyone's home.”


About: Hello families! My name is Tanner. I am currently majoring in psychology at Youngstown State University. I graduated from Ursuline High School in 2022. I have much experience pet sitting for many neighbors and different families. I have experience administering medications to different pets and can follow schedules well. I can provide references and background clearances upon request. I am available for drop in visits and overnight stays for pets that might need a little extra love! Feel free to reach out with any questions! I am looking to be a pet sitter full time or drop ins Saturdays and Sundays. I am flexible with my schedule so we can work out any times needed I make sure they get lots of love, pets, and plenty of exercise or playtime but ultimately whatever the dog needs is what I will stick with.

About: I have taken care of family pets since I was young. As I grew older, I adopted my own pets and have volunteered in animal shelters as well. I have always had dogs and cats in my life and it has grown to guinea pigs and a bearded dragon. I'm able to give baths, do walks, and bathroom breaks and provide ample amounts of play time. I am available for Labor Day weekend! I am also a full time stay at home mother so currently all of my days and times of the week are free and open, even weekends. I let all of my animals on my furniture if they want in my home. They all have their special homes and spots where they can be in peace until they come out with the rest of the family. My home is kept clear of dangerous items, tiny small toys for example that pets might eat.

“Haley is amazing! The communication before and during our stay was perfect. She was so patient and kind with our anxious girls. She sent many pictures, videos, and updates throughout the stay. We felt very comfortable and happy knowing they were safe with her, and we returned to very happy and loved puppies.”


About: I don’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t taking care of animals! Whether it be while growing up or starting to dogsit/walk in high school, there was never a time a fur baby wasn’t relying on me. And I wouldn’t have it any other way! I have a flexible schedule which allows me to help out with my friends and families animals, as well as volunteer for local animal shelters. I have experience with dogs of all ages and levels of care. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with your pet (I have used Rover myself when I go out of town) so I assure you I will provide the kind of care and attention to your pet that I would want given to my own! :) I’m currently working part time. My job offers flexible hours, so I have the opportunity to accommodate whatever schedule you and your pet require. :) I will happily go over what your pets routine is and abide by whatever you’re most comfortable with! If your dog is used to being walked at certain times, crated, etc. The well being and safety of your animal is my upmost concern so whatever you need me to do to guarantee that, is what I’ll do!

About: I’ve dog sat for a family for 10 years, they had 3 medically sensitive wiener dogs. I’ve also house sat for several farming families and watched horses cows goats and chickens. I’ve cat sat and done several special circumstance sitting. I’m currently a teacher and my schedule for pet sitting would be morning or evenings during the week & weekends fully. I’m open to more flexibility if needed All pet sitting would be done in clients home, not my own. I would care for the animal but providing food water consistently as told. I would walk the dog 3x a day and would sit with the animal when needed. If needed more care I would provide

About: I have a flexible schedule and work per diem in healthcare, which allows me to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and love. I offer regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection to make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. During our time together, I can also teach basic tricks like sit, paw, roll over, and lay down—keeping things fun and mentally stimulating. Pets are welcome to relax wherever they feel most comfortable, including the couches and beds. My home is smoke-free, peaceful, and full of love. I truly go the extra mile to make every pet feel like part of the family. Pet care is one of the most meaningful and fulfilling parts of my week. I work per diem in healthcare, which means I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate quality time to caring for animals. I structure my week around the needs of the pets I’m caring for—whether that means morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or overnight stays. Making sure pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my daily routine. When pets are in my care, their comfort and safety come first. I create a calm, clean, and smoke-free environment where pets are free to relax, snuggle, and feel right at home. I take time to get to know their routines, preferences, and energy levels—whether they love to play or prefer quiet companionship. In my home, pets are allowed on furniture and beds if that’s what they’re used to, and I follow any feeding, medication, or behavior routines closely. In a client’s home, I always treat the space with respect and care, keeping pets on their usual schedule to reduce stress while you’re away. I believe in clear communication and always send updates, photos, and messages so you feel connected and reassured.

About: I have had animals my whole life and I have love for all kinds of fur babies. I can’t wait to meet yours and shower them with love and attention! I just graduated college and am applying for corporate jobs at the moment, but so far am primarily pet sitting so my schedule is very open. I do not care for pets in my home as it is a shared space with roommates and pets. Thank you for your time and understanding.

About: My schedule is extremely flexible so I'm able to drop in last minute when needed. I've had my dogs since they were puppies (they're now 10.5&11.5) so I've really gone through most major stages with them. I'll love your dogs the way I love my own. I'm extremely flexible. I own my own small business selling handmade items online so I truly make my own schedule. I never work on weekends and I'm flexible on weekdays and can fit your animals schedule into my day. I have a fenced yard at my own house. I can either let your dogs out in an enclosed yard or leash them for walks and potty breaks. Any cats boarded in my house will have an entire guest room to themself if they are not comfortable around dogs. My dogs have been around cats multiple times and are very cat friendly.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. With my mom working at a vet clinic, I believe I stand out because of knowledge that was passed down to me. I have a part time job where I work mainly evenings after 4pm, so I’m available most mornings and afternoons. Sometimes I work mid shifts, but they don’t start till noon, so I almost always have mornings free. I have a partially fenced in yard with a runner lead for my own dog. I have a crate available if needed. I have a park not far from my home, so I usually take my dog on walks there.

About: Hi there- my name is Destiny and I have been an avid animal lover since the day I was born. I have had cats and dogs within my care for as long as I can remember. I have taken in many stray cats and have got them neutered/ spayed and have found homes for them over the years. I believe that all animals are a true gift to us in this life. They are only here for a part of our lives but we are their whole life, so they deserve nothing but the utmost love given to them every day. I will treat your dogs/cats like they are my own. I currently work from home for my full time job, so I have adequate time to go on walks, play, and give your pet the attention it needs. I have a 2 bedroom apartment in Poland, Ohio, so I have many sidewalks and parks all by me to take your fur baby on all the walks and play times it needs. I do have a cat, but he is very sociable and friendly towards dogs.

“Valerie is the sweetest! She is so knowledgeable about animals and their needs. She bonded with our puppy Charlie instantly. She came to the house and watched Charlie for 5 hours and was so attentive to her. They went for a walk, played ball and snuggled on the couch together. I highly recommend Valerie as a Fur Nanny! She’s the best!!”


About: I have been taking care of both cats and dogs since I was younger! I have helped not only my family but also my friends and other pet owners! I have learned over time what certain pets need and I am ready to learn more if needed! I will continue to keep my availability up to date every week when my work schedule comes out. Sometimes when I work it will be from 12pm-11pm so I would not be able to stay there all day. I’ll make sure to put that in my availability, and if that’s not a problem with you just send me a message and we can figure something out! Also, if I know in advance about any pet sitting, I’m able to get days off, so keep that in mind! I am able to do any care that you need in your own home! I am unable to pet sit at my house for the time being but I am working on it!

Tanner S.
“Tanner (and her mom) have been caring for our dogs for about a year now. We have three big dogs and they provide them exceptional care and company when we are away. Our Aussie has a serious medical condition that requires time sensitive medication around the clock and I can always trust that she is getting them on time. Tanner comes over regularly for drop ins and med administration during the work week and has dog sat over night for up 12 days while we are away on vacation. Highly recommend!”


Melissa V.
“I am a little late in getting out this review, but in no way was it because I was disinterested or not wanting to do so..On the contrary, I absolutely felt the need to write this because of the loving service I felt my family had received from this Pet Sitter. Our family has 2 pets, a dog(Susy) and a cat(Milu) and like most on this site, we deem them to be our precious little babies. They never have really been away from the family for any great length of time, so finding someone to watch and care for them was very important to us. My family was to be in South America for a week, while I was away from home that same time for my work. I had found a Pet Sitter very close to our home for Susy, but could not find anyone for Milu. After much searching, I realized the Rover website and there found numerous Pet Sitters available for Milu. After much searching, we were able to procure the services of a Sitter on Rover and set the contract. Then, with 1 week before our departure, the contractor informed us that she had to cancel our reservation because of health issues in her immediate family and would not be in the area during the needed time. That really put us in dilemma to find someone in such short time. So we searched the Rover site and found several, but all the family agreed to contact Melissa... There were several things that greatly impressed us about Melissa. First there were the reviews. While there were not many, Melissa's reviews were actually very accurate and factual about the care that our Milu would receive. They spoke of the great love she had for animals, as we all experienced firsthand. As I had mentioned, our babies had not been away from us and Milu is very timid with strangers. So, we were surprised when we actually brought her to Melissa and after Milu s brief inspection of her new abode (Lol), she was right there, on the couch and happy as can be. I know that animals sense our love for them and I was amazed at how comfortable she was at that time. Later photos, which Melissa sent through the week, also confirmed how tranquil our precious niña was. In fact, when I returned a week later for Milu, she went to Melissa, not to me and she actually cried when I took her away. That experience was special to me and I knew then that our family had made the correct decision in choosing Melissa. Another proof to me that Milu was very comfortable there, was how she interacted with Melissa's young son. Normally, she runs and hides from children, but the pictures showed her actively playing with the boy! I have never seen her do this with any other children, but my own. I can think of no other magic that could have done that, but love. Yes, I am and family are so pleased with the decision we made to contract Milu's care with Melissa. I think that anyone who loves their pet would also have the same impressions with Melissa's care. I almost never write reviews, but felt the need to express my thoughts and feelings with this one. Thank you Melissa for taking care of our Milu! And, I actually do think that Milu misses you!!!!”

Augusta B.
“Augusta is the only person I trust to take care of my Zoo. She is amazing handling my anxious chihuahua, and meets him where he’s at with compassion and care. She does amazing with my other dog, my two cats and my exotics. I never have had to worry about my babies while she’s cared for them, because she spoils them with love and care just like I would. She’s an amazing communicator, punctual, consistent and has a great intuition and attention to detail. She is your one stop shop for all of your animal caretaking needs! ❤️❤️”
