“I love when Jayme comes to let my dog out! My dog is very shy & timid with everyone & Jayme takes the time to take her out & even just sit with her to make her comfortable & she is making strides! Jayme treats your animals like your own!”

“This was my first time using Rover and it was great. Margaret met with me beforehand to become familiar with me and my animals and to get info in person. She is incredibly kind and personable and the animals took to her lovely disposition right away. I felt comfortable with her after meeting her as well. The time we were away Margaret provided me with detailed visit overviews and pictures. She really seemed to enjoy my fur babies which made me happy!! I knew they were getting well taken care of. Margaret’s communication was frequent and thorough which I found comforting. Will definitely book again!!”

About: I work from home and have time to walk or care for other dogs. I first walked dogs at the age of 12. I’m the primary caregiver for our ten year old goldendoodle, Cupcake, who continues to be full of energy! If your dog enjoys other dogs, we can take breaks and explore the neighborhood with Cucpcake. I have experience tiny dogs up to med/large (Cupcake is 75lbs). I enjoy walking Cupcake and other dogs as it gets me out and a break from my day. I currently work full time and can walk or board dogs nearby. I’m able to take breaks and take your pet out during the workday. We have a big fenced in backyard for dogs to go out and use the restroom as needed. I have children and a goldendoodle who love playing with other dogs.
“Celene was an absolute life saver. My dog sitter cancelled a few days before my vacation and I was very worried about not just finding someone, but someone that my dogs would enjoy being with. As soon as I met her and my dogs welcomed her I could tell they were in good hands. She was very informative with her 3 visits a day and sent pictures as well as updated if something seemed off with them or if they were extra happy to see her. I truly appreciate her more than words can explain and I’m so deeply grateful that my fur babies were well taken care of and appreciated. Thank you again Celene.”

“Patrick is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had from Rover! He’s reliable, great at communicating, and great with our dogs (2 corgis under 2 years old). I always have the upmost confidence that my dogs and my home will be well taken care of when Patrick comes to visit.”

“Allan did a great job taking care of my cats! I got pics every day, he played with them, and generally put my mind at ease while I was on vacation! I would recommend him!”

“Natalie is the best! She was willing to help us out on short notice, is professional and responsible, and our dog clearly had a great time with her! We are very grateful and will definitely book with Natalie again :)”

“I came home to a happy little dog! My dog is fearful of everyone when she first meets them. Stranger danger, lol. Michelle did a great job when meeting my dog such that my dog started warming up to her right then. I received updates and pictures at every visit and knowing that she was in good hands allowed me to relax. I am new to the area and I am so happy I found Michelle. I would trust Michelle with my dog’s care again for sure!”

About: I’ve taken care of family & friends pets since I was young. This has included overnights & multiple day stays, quick stops to allow a potty break & play time, or just a quick walk. I have cared for dogs under 1 year of age and elders requiring close attention and medication. I follow your guidelines and instructions regarding your pets care! Ensuring your pet is well taken care of and providing you peace of mind is my top priority. I have grown up with a pet consistently in the household and have a dog myself! I am currently a law student at UT! This is my only source of income and fits into my breaks from class. I already love to go on walks and spend time with animals for a much needed mental break from schoolwork. As much as I am a source of love for your pet, they are a source for me as well! I can easily crate your pet and give medication if needed. I do not discipline unless you express that as a request. I am very patient and positive with animals. I will only enter the parts of your home where the dog is located unless told otherwise. I can simultaneously water any plants or do small house chores if you need!
About: I am a huge fan of all dogs, large to small, and since moving to Ohio for medical school away from my family, I have been missing dog time. Happy to care for any size or age of dog, any breed, and provide medications, walks, play time, or potty breaks. I am a student and spend the majority of my time at home studying, with only short trips of a few hours at a time to my classes. I leave town rarely for holidays, and spend the majority of the year in Toledo and available to care for animals any time of the day. I have a fenced yard and one cat, who is indoor-only, friendly to other cats, and up to date on all vaccinations. Due to my cat, I am unable to board dogs at my home, but other cats are more than welcome. I am more than happy to visit several times per day to spend time and care for pets, take for walks or potty breaks, feed, and play as much as needed.
“Hannah was great! This was my first time using rover and she helped walk me through it. Leaving your home and your dog with a stranger is definitely an intimidating thing, but with all of Hannah’s communication I felt confident that it would could go well. I would recommend her to anyone! She was so nice and my dog Aussie seemed to have an amazing time.”

About: I’m a cat mom to a 4 yr old baby and a cat auntie to my 8 yr old cat niece and my friends’ cats! I am highly experienced with cat care and I love cats and love to spend time with & take care of them! In my free time, I am often at cat shelters and cat cafes, spending quality time with the feline residents. I do have experience with dog sitting & walking, but I prefer cats! I’m currently working remote full-time on weekdays so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can do drop-ins on weekdays & housesitting or boarding mainly on weekends, but can be flexible on weekdays too. I do have a four year old cat. She is very social and likes other cats, updated on all vaccines, takes monthly flea-prevention treatments, and is an indoors only cat. I always keep her safety, health, & best interests in mind, and would do the same for your cat as well.
About: I am a calm, responsible dog walker and I’ve lived with dogs my entire life. I’ve cared for different breeds — including a Boxer/Bernese Mountain Dog mix, poodles, and several mixed-breed pups — so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I enjoy calm, steady walks where dogs feel relaxed and supported, and I always treat every dog with kindness, patience, and genuine care. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I enjoy spending time outdoors and I make time in my schedule for walks throughout the day. I like planning calm, steady walks and giving each dog my full attention while I’m with them. I’m reliable with timing, I stick to the dog’s routine, and I’m consistent about communication and care. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the routine and instructions they provide. I make sure the dog feels comfortable and secure, and I keep things calm and predictable. I focus on gentle walks, fresh water, feeding as instructed, and giving attention, affection, and reassurance. I’m respectful of the home, careful with routines, and I always check in if something seems different with the dog’s behavior or energy.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my house my entire life, both bigger and smaller! I’ve been trusted to watch friends and family members pets of all ages. I have also done "dogs day out" at locale humane societies. As a current Physician Assistant student, I have a varying schedule for classes during the week however, I am happy to work with everyone in order to take care of their furry friends outside of these times :) Typically I am free before 8am and after 4-5 pm during the week, with some variations depending on the week! I am free on the weekends for sitting or drop in visits. I am happy to work with night shifters too! While I am not offering services in my own home, I will be mindful of boundaries and personal space in clients homes when caring for their pets.
“Vivien is absolutely amazing!!! I found her for a last min trip, and not only did she immediately scheduled a same day meet and greet with my two cats, but she also agreed to take care of them the very next day! She was a life saver at that time. Afterwards, Vivien has been my routine cat caregiver and she has went above and beyond to play and love my two cats. My cats are so comfortable with her and they love her so much. My cats are high maintenance too and Vivien has worked with me from every angle to tackle some litter box issue. She cleaned my house everytime as well! I can’t say enough good things about her. If you have pets to take care, I highly recommend Vivien!! You won’t regret it.”

About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was young. I have raised and fostered newborn kittens, stray cats, and injured wildlife. I have a ball python, so basic reptile experience. I am in college, but have less than 4 hours of classes a day. I already feed and clean my personal cats litter three times a day as well as feeding strays. I have a small fenced in yard, and live in a walkable neighborhood near the university. I have three medium crates or a separate room available if needed.
West Gate pet parents share their Rover experiences
Hannah was wonderful with our kitty while we were away, Thomas really enjoyed her company which isn't always a given, and I appreciated the extra care when a painting fell and by taking care of our fish tanks too! Top notch sitter and will absolutely book again in the future.

Natalie was great about letting me know the daily status of our 3 cats. She was able to send me pictures of 2 of the cats but not my skittish girl. I know she tried but she can be very elusive. All the cats are rescues and each have their own personalities but she was still able to assure us while we were gone

Sydney was wonderful! She accommodated a fairly last-minute request from us to drop in twice a day for a week. We appreciated the check-ins, regular updates, and her flexibility with our schedule. Dot was nice and tired each day I arrived home, too! It was a great relief to know that Dot received so much care and attention during a busy week. We will book Sydney again!
