Michelle did a great job with our pups! She was responsive and kept us updated on how they were doing. She was extremely respectful of our home! If it weren't for the rumpled sheets, she wouldn't have even known she was there! Highly recommend her for house sitting and any care your pups could need!

Lori was so fantastic to have in my home and she did an amazing job with my puppy! It was incredible to get some time to go to an appointment and run errands while knowing my puppy was safe and having a good time. Lori sent updates and photos so I wouldn't be worried. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again in the future!

It was such a relief to have Aidan caring for my dogs at my house while I was gone on my 8 day vacation. My pups are 14 and 11 years old and have special dietary and medical needs and he was able to keep them well fed, medicated and happy! This was the first time in their whole lives that I didn't have friends or family available to watch them, but I didn't have to worry as Aidan sent pictures and kept me up to date on how things were going. If I am in this situation again Aidan will be the first person I reach out to!

About: Hi there! I have been a pet sitter since I was 14, with multi-species experience including: dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, fish, turtles, and rabbits. I am a life long pet owner as well. I am in my 4th year of studying Animal Behavior, which feeds my interest in enrichment and proper welfare for all animals. I have experience with: • oral medication administration • pets with anxiety • grooming and nail trimming (*depends on your pet's temperament) • enrichment I am available for drop-in visits, walks, or pet-sittings. ***I do not offer boarding due to my own pet for the safety of all pets involved! I'm currently on break for the summer and have full availability during the week to stop in and take your pet for a walk or play session, or house sit for a longer period. I tend to stick to the instructions provided as to keep a normal routine for your pet. For a first time visit, I will get aquatinted with your pet and offer a treat if allowed. I will send photos of your pet when I arrive and leave to offer some peace of mind. For walks, I will take your dog on a stroll around the neighborhood so they can let out some energy and use the restroom, followed by a treat after returning home. Drop-ins are similar where the pet will be taken outside for the restroom if needed and have some playtime to let out some energy. For pet sitting jobs, I tend to ask more questions about your pet to get a better understanding of their needs as well as anything else that will need taken care of such as collecting the mail, or watering plants. No matter the species, each visit will include playing, treats, and lots of pets! When entering or leaving your home, I ensure that the key is placed in the correct spot (to prevent lockouts!) after locking to keep your pet and home safe.

Look no further than Patience for a dependable and kind companion to your furry family while you’re away. This was my first time booking on Rover and I was extremely nervous about it. I work from home and my 3 dogs don’t spend very much time without a human around and so when she mentioned she would allow the dogs to sleep with her that peaked my interest as it is comforting to know they’ll get extra cuddles while I’m away from someone who “gets it” ( they're our babies!) Patience put me at ease with her prompt communication and kept us updated on how my 3 dogs were the entire week I was away. I will definitely rebook her for my next trip!

Amanda listened carefully to what we discussed concerning our dogs. This made me feel confident for her to watch them. She sent pictures and answered phone and text each time I reached out to her. When we got back our two dogs didn’t act like they had missed us terribly which to me is the best sign of all that Amanda did a great job while in our home. Also, she was very respectful of our home and property.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring animal lover with 5 years of experience in pet sitting and dog walking through multiple companies. Animals have always been a huge part of my life — I grew up helping care for and train my uncle’s service dogs, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to understand different dog personalities and needs. I also have a lot of experience with puppies and dogs that need extra care because I volunteer at an animal shelter. Through my experience I have gotten to know so many breeds and their special personalities, unique abilities, and where they may need some extra care. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that’s long walks, playtime, keeping them company, or making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. As a fun hobby, I also make homemade dog treats, so you can safely say I’m a little obsessed with dogs🥰 I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, and I always treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and personality to make the experience stress free for both of you! I am a college student so I have a lot of availability. My classes are mid day and only 2 hrs long. I only have class 2 days a week. In the summer and over winter break I have full availability. I feed them the recommended amount, give lots of cuddles, walks and all the love! I give them my full attention and follow the owners instructions.

Luna helped us out in a tight situation! We needed a pet sitter at the last minute and she pulled through for us. She was willing to come without meeting our pets before the weekend she came to sit. Luna was responsible and I felt our pets were safe with her. I would definitely ask her to come again.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes. Also, have been trusted by many family members & friends to take care of their dogs. This includes taking care of an elderly dog who takes multiple medications & has some trouble getting around, & on the other end of the spectrum a very active & young husky, plus many more! I am a full time athletic trainer at a college, but get a month off in the summer. The other month I work during the summer I only work 4 hour shifts so will have plenty of time to attend to pups! Moving forward after summer I can pick up random week nights & weekends here & there! I am an active person so would love to walk with a dog & take it out to run around & play! On the flip side, I also love cuddles & will give your pups all the attention they would need!

About: I have taken care and loved animals for as long as I can remember walking. Young, old, on a diet? I can do it all! I am a full time student at Youngstown State University. I currently am on summer break, and free about all week except for weekends. There is lots of space for pets to run on our property, and I will be attentive at all times! I have watched dogs at others houses for years, along with taking care of my own animals at home! I have administered medication intake for animals, followed strict diets, and made sure they all get their energy out! I prioritize making sure the pets feel safe in the environment as my biggest heartbreak is an animal's sadness!

Anika was wonderful! She provided great care for our dogs while we were away. Making sure to keep us updated right away. They clearly enjoyed their time with her and received lots of attention and love. She went above and beyond to help when we needed it, and we would gladly book with her again. Highly recommended!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of patience, care, and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has a different personality and unique needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I am dependable, trustworthy, and committed to keeping pets happy and maintaining their normal routines. I also have experience caring for pets at different stages of life, including young puppies and senior animals. I can help reinforce basic training for younger pets, such as potty routines, leash manners, and positive behavior habits. With senior pets, I provide gentle care, extra patience, medication reminders if needed, and close attention to comfort and mobility needs. In addition to daily feeding, walks, and playtime, I focus on providing companionship and reducing stress or anxiety for pets when their families are gone. I communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos so they always know their pets are in good hands. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and reliable experience that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. Pet care fits into my daily routine by being my favorite thing in the world. Since I moved I am not able to have any pets so being able to take care of your fur baby would be a blessing! I do not allow pets at my place over night. Only if it’s for a few hours as my landlord is picky. So it is more ideal for me to come to your place as it would be easier for me to meet your pets needs. I do ask that you provide so information about your pets when you book with me. Thank you!

Randy was awesome with Mabel! He walked her endlessly so much so, when we came back, Mabel was so chill! Also, our flights were delayed twice and Randy spent extra time making sure Mabel wouldn’t be left alone having to potty for a long time. His care was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I also want to commend Randy for how he took care of the house. I have had sitters (not from Rover) who left the house in a shambles: unmade bed, stuff on the kitchen counters, etc, so that when you got home you had to tidy up before you could unpack. Randy had the house like when we left, or better. He was polite, kind, attentive to Mabel and just all around terrific. He is now my ‘go to’ guy! Thanks tons Randy!

About: Each and every animal that I come in contact with I am respectful and calm! I love every pet like it’s my own. Each dog requires different needs and I am completely understanding and will do what it takes for the animal to be the most comfortable and relaxed it can be. I am grateful for the love animals give me and I hope that I can give them that love back. Animals are part of families and I want to provide that comfort when their families are not around! I have expierence with being around all different animals since I was very young. I have been dog sitting since I was 13 years old. I have the experience you want for your loved family member. I work at a veterinary clinic so I have experience with working with all types of breeds. Being a vet assistant I am able to provide for your pet with the knowledge and confidence it takes to take care of any pet!! I work full time at a vet clinic and love to surround myself with all types of different animals! I find comfortable and peace giving people the option to have someone love their pets as my own when they are away! Any needs that your pet may need I am more than comfortable to provide. I deal with many different species and behaviors daily at my job and would love to do whatever your pets need to be comfortable.

About: My whole life I've loved animals, it started as a young child when I'd rescue injured turtles and bring them home.. then as a teenager it turned into rescuing cats, dogs, geese, chipmunks, raccoons, opposums, rabbits, and birds. I had cats, dogs, fish and yes..2 rats as pets as a child. I currently have my kitty Luna, she's 5 years old and is just the sweetest little cuddle bug. Growing up I thought my animal soft spot came from my parents who used to occasionally rescue as well.. then I realized it wasn't that. It was just, I love animals. They're goofy beings, each with a personality of their own, and have nothing but love to give if they're treated properly. If I'm at an event, it's a guarantee I'll befriend the animals before any humans. I've been blessed that each animal I've connected with has picked up on the love I have for them and typically trust me just about instantly. Since my teenage years, I started doing daily drop-ins which quickly grew to over night stays for night long furry cuddles. I currently care for 4 familes, 2 with pets on medications and my flexible job lets me balance both perfectly! I've been a nail technician for 6 years, which has given me the flexibility to set my own schedule. Because of this, I can easily come and go as needed, fitting pet care seamessly into my daily routine. This allows me to provide attentive, reliable care to each pet, ensuring they get the time and attention they deserve. At this time I only provide pet care in the clients home. I make sure to follow each pets routine closely, keeping their environment safe and familiar, and provide regular updates to owners. I ensure I keep a clean, secure space and respect each pet's, and their owners, comfort and boundaries so they feel at ease. I also pride myself on being responsible and reliable. I have my own car and hold my own personal vehicle insurace, so I can take pets to appointments or emergencies if needed, within reason.

About: Ive had dogs all 21 years of my life. Currently I have 5 dogs all medium sized dogs which is a lot of cleaning and attention so I understand needing the help. I love all animals and would be willing to work with pets that I have not worked with yet. I’m big on communication just want everyone to be comfortable my schedule is pretty lenient at the moment. I work for a company called premium/Acosta, which is a vendor for Walmarts. I also do Rover and Instacart. I do like to travel occasionally but I’m always big on communicating ahead of time at least two weeks in advance when I do plan something. I would always call or text if there was ever a concern or question and wouldnt do something that wasnt talked about before. I grew up with dogs and around animals all my life. I love all animals and am willing to learn and work with pets I have and haven’t worked with. I want both parties to be as comfortable as possible. I love communication, I always appreciate tips and tricks from the owners especially letting me know any triggers for the pet or boundaries.

Michelle did amazing with our dog lily! She stayed at our home for a full week whole week while we were on vacation. She was very responsive, sent photos of lily, snuggled and loved her the whole time. She got our mail and took the trash out too! She is very knowledgeable about animals and has a very calm presence. Would highly recommend Michelle and look forward to working with her again in the future
