“We booked Madison for drop in visits with our dog Milo. Madison was responsible and wonderful with Milo! Her love for animals certainly shines through her personality! Thank you Madison!”

“Rachel was very kind and attentive to my dog & I felt very comfortable having her check-in on him from the first day they met. She was always been very prompt and reliable.”

“Jonathan was awesome with my dog Thor. Absolutely loved every picture he sent on all drop in visits with him while I was away for a weekend, Thor was always super excited to see him and it was like he had been taking care of him for years based on his reaction. Highly recommend”

“Ayah is on time, communicates well, follows instructions, and my dog ❤️s her. Brought up some minor (potential) schedule conflicts PRIOR to accepting booking. Would definitely recommend and I will use her again!”

About: Animal experience includes working at a grooming shop and walking and babysitting a handful of dogs for several years, as well as always having dogs of my own. I have experience and am comfortable with big, small, shy, nervous, aggressive, sick, traumatized and old animals, so I can handle whatever your pet might throw my way. And I love to run; I'm happy to run with your dog if they want. I'm also comfortable administering medications, transporting animals, bathing, and following training instructions. Most importantly, my clients have always trusted me to be an honest and dependable person. Can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I work short shifts and am pretty flexible at the moment. Available for drop in visits and walks. Message me and we will make it work. I follow instructions left by you, to keep your pet and home safe and your pet comfortable. Happy to take outside, feed, walk, and administer meds.
“Christina was communicative and more than willing to work with our kitties! Pictures and videos were sent to show me how our cats were doing, and she was respectful of our (and their) boundaries. She was also flexible with key pickup and return (which was very appreciated with my schedule). I would absolutely recommend her for caring for your fur babies.”

“Marti is absolutely wonderful! She checks up on our cat while we are away and sends us detailed check ups along with pictures of our boy! Trustworthy and a very kind person. I would recommend her for anyone!”

About: I’m caring, patient, dependable, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I’m great at following detailed instructions from pet parents, whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, medications, favorite toys, or specific house rules. I’m most comfortable with small to medium-sized dogs. While I’m newer to caring for cats and don’t have experience with newborn puppies, I’m always willing to learn and follow your instructions closely. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. 🐾 I have consistent availability that makes it easy to plan pet care around your needs. On weekdays, I’m available from 4:15 PM until 5:30 AM the following morning. On Saturdays and Sundays, I have open availability when given at least 24–48 hours’ notice. I appreciate advance bookings so I can make sure I have plenty of dedicated time for your pet without feeling rushed. I believe in keeping pets as close to their normal routine as possible. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, bedtime, medications if applicable, and any special routines your pet is used to. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I’ll also be respectful of your home and make sure everything is secure before I leave. I’m happy to provide pictures and updates so you know your pet is safe and doing well while you’re away.
“Kevin did such a great job looking after Hazy! She is very shy and he took the appropriate care and she warmed up to him! He listened and paid attention to details and kept us updated. We are very appreciative of all of the care and effort he put into it. We would highly recommend Kevin for any of your pets needs!”

“Karibian was very prompt and ensured Zeek was taken care of. She communicated well during each visit and went above and beyond in helping address a troubling “ant issue”. I would highly recommend her any service she provides on Rover!”

About: I have loved animals all my life. I think they really are a part of a family, and they deserve to be absolutely spoiled and shown all the love they can take I am self-employed so I have a very flexible schedule. I don’t work a regular 9 to 5 so I am home longer than the average person I make sure to take care of all of their needs. Make sure they are fed, always have water, entertained, played with, loved on and completely taken care of
“My babies are typically not too comfortable with people they do not know. Tatyjana Communicated with me that the dogs went under the bed but did not give up. She said she was trying to get them to warm up to her and they did. We will definitely have her back again.”

“Mackenzie did a fabulous job caring for my shy kitty, Penny Lane. I was quite nervous leaving her for nearly two weeks, but she warmed up to Mackenzie quickly and got lots of playtime and good interaction every day. Mackenzie shared lots of photos and left the house in good order for my arrival home. I'd highly recommend Mackenzie as a pet sitter.”

About: I absolutely adore animals but especially dogs, I worked at a dog kennel for two years, which has helped me to gain experience around dogs of any and all different sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments/requirements. I have been dog sitting/walking and doing overnight stays for 3 years and take great pride in taking care of your pet as if they’re my own! I am working part time at a kennel right now, however my shifts are very short (5 hours max but typically 2.5-3 hours). I get my schedule on a week to week basis, so if you want to guarantee that I have the availability to watch your pup, let me know at least 2 weeks in advance and I will happily request off from work to help you out (please still feel free to reach out even if its less than 2 weeks in advance, I likely will still be able to help you out). Having such short shifts, im available for pop-ins and walks the majority of the day, however there should be no problem with staying overnight as my latest shift is from 8:15-9:15pm at the kennel for let out. I will care for your pet as if it’s my own to ensure their safety and enjoyment for the time I am with them, as well as making sure your home is safe while you are away. I will follow any and all instructions that are given to me to guarantee everything runs smoothly and that your pup has a great and safe time!
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and truly treat every pet like my own. I have a degree in animal behavior, experience working in veterinary clinics, and have been training dogs since 2015. I also have extensive experience with cats and a wide range of other species, including exotics (allowing me to offering in-home boarding for exotic pets). I’m comfortable adapting my care to different temperaments, routines, and needs, whether that’s an energetic pup, a shy cat, or a more specialized pet. My goal is always to provide calm, attentive, and reliable care so your pet feels safe and at ease while you are away 🖤🐾 Availability varies depending on owner schedules. Send me a message and we can coordinate. My openings are flexible; I offer morning, midday, weekend, and evening check-ins, walks, and training. I know how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pet. I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure, and I take a calm, patient approach, especially with shy or sensitive animals. I’m very attentive to safety (secure doors, safe feeding, clean spaces) and always make sure your home is left just as you expect. I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: We have a pet friendly home with a huge fenced in yard just ready for your pup to come "home" and play. We will love your fur baby as we love ours. ❤️ Non Smoker. Our dog is current with all vaccines and rabies shots! I am blessed to be able to work from home. This allows me to provide the quality care, love and attention your dog deserves. I am willing to provide medications and walks. We have a very large fenced in yard , this offers your pup an area to run or just relax. We also have an 8year old Bulldog who is a jug of love but not much of a socialite...he may just lay around most the day 😉
About: Hello, I’m Deanna! I have lived in the Buffalo area all my life & previously have had 2 dogs. I currently have a 3 year old dog at home. I have done 100+ services on another platform with a 4.98/5 rating. I am looking for some doggy’s to socialize with, provide them with activity & get some energy out! *Please note I am available for sitting but unable to sleep at the house due to childcare* I work remotely and am available during day for pets that need often check-ins. If your dog cannot be left alone for 4+ hours, I am your girl! I will follow instructions left by owner and check in with the owner if questions arise; everyone has their own routine and I want pet & parent as comfortable as possible.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 484 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Akron. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Akron. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 90% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
