“Elizabeth has communicated promptly to messages! When we come home and find our 4 westies happy and non-stressed we know they got a good loving drop in visit. Thank you Elizabeth! We will see you again! Xoxo”
About: Hi! I’m Cass. I have been a life long animal lover. I was often the child bringing home every stray cat and dog I found. When I became a Mom and my youngest son begged us to get a dog, I was so happy. We added Rocky to our family 12 years ago and he’s been my companion ever since. We also have two cats Domino and Luna to complete our family zoo! We’d love to have new furry friends and visitors to come on our family adventures and to play with. I work from home so I am available all day for pet care needs to be able to frequently feed and bathroom breaks along with some outdoor time I have a somewhat private back yard and I will be outside with your pet at all times while they get outdoor time and use the bathroom or I am able to go to your home and walk them in their environment. I also have a nice neighborhood block area that I am able to take breaks and walk your pet.
“Laurel did a great job with our dog Reece and disabled cat Bobbie! We were worried how Reece would do with a new person coming into our home without us there. Laurel did great giving him time and space, he quickly warmed up to her! Having a disabled cat often makes it hard to find someone who will take care of their needs, Lauel did not hesitate and took such good care of her! Laurel was great with communicating with us and sending pictures. We will definitely be booking with Laurel in the future.”
“5 Stars all around. Chirstina has been dropping in and seeing my 3 month Old Golden Retriever Duke for an hour everyday for the past week now. She is amazing. Keeps me updated. Send me pictures, and also helps train him! Writes me a wonderful summary after every visit letting me know how his day was!! Anyone who is looking for a respectful person to trust in your home to watch your dog while you are away at work for a few hours. She’s your girl! I am pleased with everything she has done so far and will continue to keep on using her to take care of Duke while I am at work! Thank you Chirstina. Me and Duke appreciate you so much! You are absolutely incredible!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and I have also owned mine my whole life. I went to tel tctc for animal management also. I own my own photography business so this is something I would like to do when I don’t have any sessions. I also do hair We have a invisible fence, and we have baby gates in areas so she can not get into anything. Our cat stays in the house.
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our cherished fur babies in someone else’s hands. From the meet and greet to the final check in, Kristi went over and above our original expectations. She kept us informed, sending us photos, which truly made a difference while travelling. She provided many special touches which we will be forever grateful for as she genuinely cared and loved for our fur babies like they were her own. We will forever be indebted to her and without a doubt, use her services again! Highly recommend!”
About: ** Recently moved back to Girard and offering services in the area! Since I can remember I’ve always been drawn to animals. All living creatures fascinate me. I grew up with fish, hamsters, a bunny named Ears and my dogs (both quirky rescues) Buddy and Bella. I always thought I’d be a Veterinarian or a Marine Biologist but I also loved creating and followed that path. With Rover I can do what I love while helping others and I think that’s pretty awesome! My schedule is flexible allowing me to provide ample time if needed to accommodate your pet(s) and their routines. I work part-time on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. I care for my pet clients the same way I care for my own dog, dedicating my time to ensure they are comfortable and safe while making sure they get the exercise and love they deserve and need!
“Meghan is a sweetheart. She’s very compassionate with her job. You can tell she loves animals. I had an emergency for two days. Meghan didn’t hesitate. She filled in for me!! She will be back on June 3rd through June 9th. No doubt, she will do an amazing job!! Additional comment and tip will be provided after June 9th. Thank you for Meghan!!”
“Chelsea was super easy to work with! She constantly sent us amazing photos of our boys, and informed is of anything that happened. Definitely will be using her again in the future? Thanks for making this such an easy experience!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Cydni S. Cydni did a phenomenal job with our 3 dogs! She was always sending pictures at every drop-in with a description of how they were doing. Our dogs needed medication daily and she had no problem with giving it, she even paid attention to our picky eater and made sure she attended to his needs. Cydni went above and beyond by getting a package left on the porch out of the rain and tiding up the house for us. We can tell that they received lots of love and care! I would use Cydni again and recommend her to someone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter.”
About: I’ve cared for three dogs; all different breeds and ages, I especially love pitbull breeds, I have experience with dogs with medical problems as well I work 3 12hr shifts/week and available the rest of the week, and am hours almost all daylight hours and can schedule ahead for longer boarding stays I have an open tile and vinyl first floor closed off from basement and upper floor ensuring constant supervision and a risk free environment for both cats and dogs
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats alike as long as I can remember. My family, neighbors, and friends trust their fur babies with me because I treat them like they are my own. I am a stay at home wife, so my day is completely free to look after your fur babies. I have all the time needed to provide a safe and happy stay. I have a fenced yard and two of my own fur babies to keep your baby happy and entertained. The babies are allowed on the furniture and in my bed if they need it.
About: Provided in-home care and pet walking services to both cats and dogs. Including grooming, feeding, and playing with pets. I ensure safety and the well-being of all pets I encounter. Trusted to go into houses to care for pets. I am currently on summer break so my availability is very flexible. I am available in both morning and evening. Sundays would be the only day I have minimal availability. My home is located right near Wick Park, positioned only 5-minutes away from a local park. My house has a big grassy area and plenty of space to run around and play!
About: I interned under a dog trainer and doggy day care specialist a while back before he relocated out of my area. He taught me about controling aggression, basic commands, feeding, and potty training. I previously worked at a vet clinic which helps in knowing how to handle various moods of dogs. Ones with anger, fear, anxiety, or explosions of happiness! It also gave me the knowledge for medications (oral and injectable). I used to work for Disney's Animal Kindgom where I dove trucks for Kilimanjaro Safaris, so basically my whole life revolves around animals. I'm still currently at Animal Kingdom but as an animal educator for exotic animals. I'm punctual, available early mornings and evenings, and am comfortable introducing dogs to one another. I am also very good at special care for pets (ie. Diets, treats, play time, potty time, crate time, bed time, medications, and etc...). I hope I can be of service to you and your pet! I am currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your fur children. I am available most times of the day and can work around most schedules. I have a fenced in back yard and a friendly dog that loves to play. He can help keep all the fur friends entertained and if need be, I can crate pets as well. I have a small supply of blankets, can offer quite time if needed, and have plenty of puzzle games for those that need a mental challenge.
About: Our pets are our family, and making sure they are comfortable and less anxious while you are gone is so important. Who wants to go to a doggy jail while you are gone when you can have them stay in their own home so much easier and much more affordable! I've put my own through puppy training and dealing with a senior dog with hip dysplasia. Prior animals I went through the insulin shots and special diet needs. My current job I do work 9 -6:30 pm which works great for morning potty and dinner timr. Saturday through Tuesday availability is much more open during day compared to Wednesday and Thursday. I literally have a dog that knows how to open doors so I understand keeping things a certain way to protect them and mail/delivery drivers. I will maintain awareness when letting them out either on leash or perimeter fence. Keeping them on a routine route is so important during those times, they love a schedule.
Youngstown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Peyton is amazing and went above and beyond for us while we were away for our first family vacation!! She was on point with communication when we or she had a question regarding the dogs, plus she did cleaning outside when we didn't ask her to. With the 6 dogs she had to watch, 5 out of 6 dogs (5 are my MIL dogs) loved her, except 1 of our dogs, Misty, was very stubborn and guarded she was giving us a play by play on how she kept on barking and 24hrs later Misty warmed up and earned Peyton's respect. We would love to have her again in the near future!! :)
Haley has been fantastic dropping in on my dog Cheddar for the last 2 consecutive months! She has been dropping in on cheddar for the last two years on and off when I need someone and will always rebook her! she shows up on time, is respectable of my home, and sends lots of pics and videos during the visit.
