“Maggie did an exceptional job with my two dogs . I booked the wrong dates and needed her that same day and she made it happen. Her patience and flexibility is top notch. Dependable and trustworthy! I will definitely be a repeat customer.”

“Alicia stepped right in and got immediately comfortable with our fur babies. She accepted a last minute booking and was so helpful with her flexibility and patience with our anxious girl dog. I will book again with Alicia!”

“Maura was wonderful. She was so attentive and sent amazing pictures. She’s reliable and has amazing communication. I will absolutely be using her in the future and I recommend her 100%!”

“We had a wonderful experience and felt completely at ease leaving our dog in her care for several days. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly took great care of our dog as if it were her own. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would not hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life and genuinely love being around them. I currently have three dogs (a terrier, a mastiff-lab mix, and a pittie) who I’m obsessed with, plus my black cat who is my best friend. I also foster puppies and senior dogs, which has given me a lot of experience with pets who need a little extra patience, care, or attention. I’m super comfortable adjusting to different energy levels whether that means keeping up with a crazy puppy or going slow and gentle with an older dog. I used to work at a doggy daycare where I cared for 100+ dogs at a time, feeding, cleaning, walking, and just making sure everyone was safe and happy. That experience taught me how to handle all kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities. Overall, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well taken care of :) I’m a college student so my schedule can be pretty flexible, especially during the summer and school breaks. That’s when I’m really looking to do more pet care because I love having something active and fun to fill my time, and being around animals is honestly my favorite thing. I’ll treat your pets just like my own, with lots of love, attention, and care. I know every pet is different, so I always make sure to follow whatever instructions you leave, whether that’s feeding routines, crating, medications, walks, or anything specific to their needs. I’m very attentive to their behavior and comfort level, and I’ll make sure they feel safe and relaxed in their environment. I also keep things clean and consistent so your pet stays happy and stress-free while you’re away.
“Erin was great. Timely, great photo updates, and no news to report. Will definitely be reaching out to her again! That was the first time using Rover, and first time leaving my dog for a full weekend without a family member, and all went well!”

“Mitchell is awesome!! he’s going to be my regular cat sitter from now on. He really spends time and plays with the cats and is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend.”

“Brian was absolutely wonderful! He took great care of our puppy, Storm, on our wedding day. He updated us with pictures, and messages. He transported Storm to and from our wedding day pictures at Lakewood Park. He went beyond our expectations. He has set the bar high and we would give the highest recommendation to book with him!! Great job! Thank you so much Brian!!”


About: As an animal lover, I know pets are family—not just animals. I take pride in giving them the same love and attention they get at home. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just extra cuddles, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and stress-free while you’re gone. As an elementary teacher, I have a structured schedule that actually works really well for pet care. I’m available before and after school, in the evenings, and on weekends. During breaks and summers, I have even more flexibility, allowing me to provide extended care, walks, and drop-in visits. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on making them feel loved, safe, and comfortable—whether that’s sticking to their usual routine, giving them extra playtime, or just spending quality time with them. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Thanks again for taking such good care of our dogs, and for adjusting to our schedule with our grandson’s arrival! It’s great to see the informative reviews and it’s clear they love you!”

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my professional experience as an animal keeper, where attention to detail, behavior observation, and quality care are essential every day. I’ve owned and cared for dogs throughout my life and genuinely enjoy being around them, whether at dog parks, beaches, or dog-friendly spaces. Even without a dog of my own currently, I stay actively connected to dogs and understand the exercise, enrichment, patience, and companionship they need to thrive. I currently work full time as a professional animal keeper, but I’m excited to spend my free time caring for even more animals. I’m available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks outside of my work hours, and I bring the same level of attentiveness, reliability, and compassion to pets that I do in my professional animal care career. I understand the importance of trust, responsibility, and attention to detail when caring for animals in someone else’s home. I am reliable, respectful of clients’ spaces, and committed to providing attentive monitoring, consistent care, and peace of mind while pets are in my care. I currently care for two cats, a lizard, and a boa, which has given me firsthand experience with the unique needs, behaviors, and routines of a variety of animals. Caring for such different species has strengthened my understanding that every pet is an individual and deserves personalized, attentive care tailored to their specific personality and needs.

“Kaitlyn is amazing, simply put. I needed help with my pack of 5 rather quickly and Kaitlyn was expeditious with meeting with me, my fiancé and my pack to support our needs. I have Aussies and on top of being high energy, they each have different personalities and individual needs. Kaitlyn took to them like she’s known them forever, and they absolutely adore her! One is afraid of night time and rarely will go outside for bedtime potty breaks and Kaitlyn was successful in working with her to overcome her fear in Kaitlyn’s care. One of my boys had a slight emergency on her first evening with us and she was very quick to communicate with me, trouble shoot, and resolve the issue! Her experience with animals, professionalism, and knowledge show throughout her care and my babies are grateful to her. I will forever highly recommend Kaitlyn to anyone who is searching for someone to care for and love on their fur babies.”

About: I say the above because for many years, my long time dog buddy, Shelby (pictured in the photo I'm holding), loved to ride in my car, right by my side. Shelby passed away in 2018 and I miss her so much, every day. In 2019, I rescued a blue heeler/beagle mix, Nova; then in 2024, a shepherd mix, Holly. Dogs have been my companions for more than 40 years, and I have loved caring for, walking, playing, vacationing and just plain hanging with them. . I truly love dogs. They are one of humankind's most noble and steadfast animal friends. I would very much enjoy taking your best friend (or friends) for a walk. I have always enjoyed the company of my canines...and I'm sure I'd feel the same way about your four-legged pals. Plus, getting out with them is great exercise...for both dog and human! I am semi retired, so I have much flexibility in the hours that can be devoted to dog walking. I walk my own dogs in all kinds of weather, which is necessary given the variable climate here in NE Ohio! In my own home, my dogs get out for walks at least three times a day, we well as potty breaks where necessary. They have crates where they can freely go to when they wish to. Most important is that the dogs and I adhere to a stable, regular routine, including feeding and playtimes.
About: I have been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember! I have taken care of dogs of all ages from little puppies to cute oldie senior pups. I have experience and comfortability with giving meds, going on long walks, and playing with lots and lots of toys. When I was little I would take care of my neighbors dogs with basic responsibilities like letting them outside and feeding them, which made my love for dogs grow even more. I started a summer "business" with my sister and friend just trying to find an excuse to play with the neighborhood dogs. I even got to take my love into a career when I worked in a vet clinic for almost two years during covid. When owners were not allowed into the building, I would be the one to love, hold and play with the animals during the appointment time so that they were still taken care of. I also worked down in the boarding facility, feeding, cleaning, and walking a ton of dogs who all needed to stretch their legs a little. I take time with each animal as much as possible, so not only do they get to spend time with someone, but they get to spend time with someone who actively is just as excited to see them! I currently work part time, mostly mornings, so any visits in the afternoon or evening would be perfect for my schedule! I get my schedule as early as three weeks in advance, so I know exactly when I am free about then. I can also stay with dogs, but need to be able to leave in the early morning but usually isn't a problem! I have done lots of combination house sitting and pet sitting for many of my neighbors throughout the years! I always clean up after myself, and leave the place better than I found it. I can also do some odd chores here or there if you would like, I have watered lots of plants! Keeping the pet in the comfortable environment is most important to me, as that is their home and I want them to be as cozy as possible while I am there.

Maddy is responsive, attentive, and very sweet. She has a ton of experience with animals of all types and stages which made her a perfect choice for Oliver, who is older and just lost his sweet brother. He needed extra care and that was no trouble for Maddy. Oliver can be timid, but came out for Maddy without issue. This made my heart happy. I would happily book Maddy again. 💕

I wish I could leave more than 5 stars because Emilee deserves it. She was so responsive to any questions we had, sent great pictures and went above and beyond anything we asked. We will 100% ask Emilee to watch our “girls” again. I can’t recommend her highly enough!!
Allan was truly a lifesaver. He stepped in at the last minute and helped us through a tough situation with our two kitties, and we’re so grateful for his flexibility and kindness. He went out of his way to accommodate our requests and handled everything with professionalism and care. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need of reliable, compassionate help.
