“Carrie was a wonderful pet sitter. She is prompt, communicative, and a joy to work with. I highly recommend hiring her as your furry loved ones will be in great hands.”


About: Hello! My name is Kaitlyn and I am a 4th year veterinary student about to start my job as a veterinarian. I began working with pets 12 years ago at a local rescue where I grew up in Florida. Since then I have had a plethora of experience with all types of animals. I have worked in a shelter, many small animal general practice hospitals, cat cafes, a wildlife rehabilitation center, triage student for the veterinary emergency department at my veterinary school, etc. Throughout the last 12 years in addition to my many volunteer and working experiences, I have also looked after family’s and friends pets when needed. Due to having pets of my own, I provide drop in visits and walks right now. However I am open to discussing any additional visit types on a case by case basis. I currently have a ton of availability while I await starting my full time job and am able to spend a lot of time with your pets 😊 Don’t worry! Once I start my full time job (in July) I would still love to continue providing care to your pets during weekends and after work. Your pets safety and happiness are the utmost importance and I am to create a great relationship with not only your pets but you to create a stress free and enjoyable environment for everyone. Feel free to reach out anytime with questions or comments about your furry friends. I am very quick to respond and would love to chat about how I can help with you and your pets needs!
About: Hi! I’m Robert. I’ve had animals all my life (dogs, cats, fish, lizards, hermit crabs, raised praying mantids and butterflies). I trap and spay/neuter feral cats (TNR), feed birds, planted a pollinator garden in my yard…love nature and appreciate the relationship between humans and animals. My small dog Tyson is 11 or 12 years old and has some special needs (anxiety, hip-problems, blind in one eye, and I am his 3rd owner), so I know patience and compassion when it comes to senior dogs. Two of my cats I’ve had since they were kittens, and the third cat was abandoned by a neighbor and chose me as her new human when they left her. Happy to accommodate your companion’s special needs, and will be honest with you if there is something I don’t feel confident about. I also use two water fountain bowls, so your friend will have access to clean, moving water. I am a bar tender and have been doing that work since 2006, 12 years at my current bar. I work part time there and have a good amount of free-time which I can use to take care of of your dog. I have a large fenced in yard (176 ft of 6ft tall wooden fence) with plenty of shade, water bowls, central air and heating. Pets are free to lounge anywhere in my house, but I do prefer dogs to be crated if I am away for their own safety, and peace of mind for me :) Please let me know if you have any rules you have for your pets at home, feeding schedule, potty-break schedule, etc.

About: Lifelong dog owner experienced with animals of all sizes. Reliable, patient, active, and dedicated to keeping pets safe, comfortable, happy, and extremely well cared for. I don’t start my full time job until July, so I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I always make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for in their own environment by following their normal routine and any instructions provided by the owner. I’m attentive, reliable, and focused on making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for during visits and walks.
About: I noticed I’m always offering to take care of everyone’s pets in my personal life (HUGE animal lover) so I figured it’s time to join Rover. I’ve taken care of other pet owners cats, dogs, and rabbits in the past. I’ve had cats, dogs, and rabbits as pets as well as hamsters, goats, ducks, and fish growing up. I grew up in a small town in Ohio and my grandparents had a farm so I was around farm animals often. I don’t currently have any pets of my own as I work 10 hour shifts 4 days a week (nurse) so I would absolutely LOVE to watch and walk your pets whenever I’m not at work! Since I work long hours and am not in a good position to get a pet of my own at this time, I would love nothing more than to share the love with your pet(s). I do have a full time job but I’m available on weekends and evenings after approximately 6:30pm (perfect time for walks!). I also have one off day during the week that rotates. I do not have any pets of my own so your pet would have my full attention (also a plus if your pet does not get along well with other pets).
About: I've taken care of many different types of pets for people and have had many years of experience with training and handling dogs specifically. I have experience with small rodents, felines, and canines I am looking mainly for weekend sitting positions or week evenings, weekends being the most flexible, weekdays after five pm preferably, schedule able to be discussed I do not have pets of my own but have house sat pets at owners home. I have also works with dog boarding at a professional facility.
“Nicole was very responsive and able to come meet me and our dog on a very short notice. She was great with our dog right away and we felt comfortable having her come over to spend time with our dog. She was amazing and very communicative throughout the weekend. I would highly recommend her and we look forward to having her watch our dog again!”

“Susan really went above and beyond to make our new high anxiety rescue dog comfortable. She is calm and loving and my dogs loved her. Will 100% recommend her to anyone!”

“Margot has been walking and taking care of my dogs for years. She is truly compassionate, knowledgeable, and organized! Her attention to detail always leaves me feeling assured that my dogs are in the best hands 🩷”


About: I have a 5 year old male border collie named Rocky who is my absolute soul dog. My mutt Halo I adopted from a shelter in Lansing, Michigan while I was studying at Michigan State University in East Lansing. They are both born in July one year apart. I raised Rocky from puppyhood and taught him 30+ tricks. Rocky helped me raise Halo. I am an animal person in general. I love cats and dogs. I bar back at TopGolf in Avon and am a Host at Scramblers in Rocky River. I’m looking to become a dog trainer soon. Once I can afford my own house I will pursue a certification for it. I am friendly, polite, musical, and fun. I walk around 30-40K steps a day so I would love to meet and be able to walk your dogs for you. I also have a fondness for cats as well and used to take care of my neighbor’s cat Caramel when we were in college! I work Saturdays from 9am-3pm and for Top Golf I am still fairly new so I barely even get scheduled right now. It could pick up in the summer but regardless I have an incredibly flexible schedule for the time being. My border collie and pitbull mix Halo live with my parents and I in Westlake in an apartment. We have a secret off leash spot we like to use for them to run around and Rocky to play fetch in!
“I was worried about having someone watch my temperamental weiner dog. However, Sharon knew exactly how to handle him! She is very knowledgeable and helpful. I feel so at ease knowing he is in good hands when I’m away for work! She is also very personable and easy to talk to. Thank you Sharon!”

About: I have grown up with a dog in my house since I was born. I have taken care of neighbors and friends dogs while they have went on vacation or just out of town for work. Since moving away for college and now graduate school, I am looking for my dog fix since I cannot own one myself With the summer starting and vacations coming up I will do my best to be available for your dogs. I do have other responsibilities such as school and work but I am always 100% with my clients if I will be a good fit for the stay/drop or not. If you are looking to book with me but see my availability is different then what you’re looking for, please still send me a message and I will do my best to accommodate to make it work! Since I am not able to host dogs at my current place of residence, this will allow the dog to feel more comfortable with a stranger coming to take care of them while the owners are away for however long. I will adjust to their routine so they hardly notice the owners are gone. They will receive all the belly rubs and love they could ask for until their owner returns home

About: I have had dogs just about my entire adult life. I had a miniature pinscher named Trey for 15 years and he was awesome! I also had a terrier mix named Alice for 12 years whom I loved very much. I have not had a dog for a few years now and miss getting to play/walk with a four-legged friend and figured this would be a fun way to scratch that itch. I have a sunroom that overlooks acres of woods for your pup to stare/bark at and a big front window to guard and let the mailman know who's boss. I work from home and can hang out with your pup all day in my house. I have a big yard they can play in and can take them for frequent walks. I do not have any pets so your pup will get my full attention. I have had dogs for 20+ years of my life and am a huge animal lover!
“Tyler was very fast at communicating back to me and very knowledgeable. I could tell my pup had a good time during her drop in, she was all tuckered out. Exactly what I was looking for. Definitely will rebook with him.”

“Amber is my go-to sitter to watch my 6 month old puppy! She is such a great communicator and so sweet. She really has a knack with dogs — would highly recommend her! Bonus - she takes the cutest pictures of your pet!”

“Sam has walked our dogs several times now when we were going to be away for long days in the mountains. San does an excellent job, always keeps us updated to know how the dogs are, and is flexible and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend!”


About: I am a professional actor and aspiring pet caretaker new-ish to the Cleveland area! Pet care is one of the many side hustles I have taken on since graduating college and beginning my acting career. It can be challenging to find jobs that are easy to hop right back into in between or even on top of my performing jobs, so what better place to work than as a caretaker for your pet? Considering my background in theatre and a lifetime of caring for the many dogs and cats my family owned growing up, you can consider me a reliable, loyal, and trustworthy caretaker for your sweet fur babies. I will quickly and easily match their energy and I can assure you that your pet(s) will remain safe and happy! In my childhood and teen years, my family took on multiple pets - cats and dogs of all ages. I was a responsible caretaker for my family, ensuring to pay close attention to the pet’s needs and behavior and always letting my parents know if I noticed an issue. Our pets remained happy and healthy, and I moved away from home only to adopt a six week old kitten myself! My cat, Kirby, is now a happy and healthy three year old who lives among two other cats that I successfully socialized him with. Needless to say, my caretaking methods are effective and rehearsed, beginning from a young age and continuing into my adulthood. I am so looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies, and I’m ever so excited to be of the utmost assistance I can be to you. By hiring me, you are helping a young actress make her way in the beginnings of her career and filling her heart by allowing her quality time with your pets! I currently am working as a server and a part-time keyholder in retail. My schedule varies week to week, but I am happy to rearrange my schedule when possible to accommodate to your pet care needs! I am happy to bring along any supplies of my own that would make our time easier! I am also happy to follow any routine you already have in place and comfortable with looking in your home as much as you would allow me to use supplies you may already have.
Westlake dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lauren was an excellent pet sitter—always timely, reliable, and attentive to our dog’s needs with feeding, walks, and care. On cold or rainy days, she made sure he still got quality time inside, whether that meant playing or giving him extra pets. She was very communicative, patient with my messages, and consistently sent photos, which I truly appreciated.

I can’t recommend Madison enough! She’s reliable, friendly, and truly cares about my dog. Piper gets so excited whenever she arrives, which says a lot! I always receive updates, photos, and a summary of the walk, which gives me peace of mind when I’m at work or away. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a responsible and loving dog walker!
