We absolutely recommend Samantha to anyone looking for help with their pet , she is a wonderful, caring, professional and kind person who adores animals!!! We were so thrilled with her services, and will definitely use her again. She came to our house for several weeks, doing drop-in visits with our dog when I was out of town working remote. I received a over Report Card everytime, detailing all the care and the fun that they had together. She also sent multiple pictures everytime as well. Millie looked forward to Samantha's visits and they became fast best friends. They played fetch, went on walks, had potty breaks and food breaks and lots of cuddling! Thank you Samantha:)

About: I care genuinely for all pets. I have a great deal of experience in my own home or yours. Love and safety are my specialty. I have a full time job. Sometimes I am gone for 8 total hours but most of the time I can come home for lunch mid day and drop in visits as I work for myself and am always in the area. I have a fenced and gated yard. Your dog has the ability to come and go into the yard at all times while I’m home. My gate also locks and if you’re comfortable after seeing my yard setup I can also lock the gate and let your dog go in and out of my house throughout the day while I’m gone too.

Shantel kindly helped me out in an emergency situation on a holiday weekend. She sent photos to put my mind at ease, and was communicative and compassionate with my situation. I’ll gladly rebook Shantel anytime for caring for my fur babies, for the peace of mind and the exceptional care she offers.

About: I have had dogs and cats, and taken care of other small animals for my family for years. I understand the bond of families with their animals and respect that! I am retired from full time work, but do participate in volunteer activity. A part time role of caring for your pet as needed will best fit my schedule. Or providing in home care for your pet while you travel will work as well. I am happy to come and take care of your pets in your home, where they are comfortable in their own environment. I respect the pet owners preferences on how best to care for their beloved pet.

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: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and my family has four dogs of our own! I also completed a two-year Small Animal Science program and currently foster dogs. Through fostering, I’ve helped 7 dogs find their forever homes. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, energy levels, and needs, and I’ll always treat your pet like part of the family. Pet care fits really well into my routine because I work a consistent school schedule as a teacher and have plenty of time after work, in the evenings, and on weekends. I love spending that free time going for walks, stopping in for visits, feeding, playing, and giving pets some extra attention. Since I’m used to having four dogs in my family, caring for animals already feels like a natural part of my day. I always make safety, comfort, and trust a priority. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and try to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel as comfortable as possible. I’m respectful of your home, careful with doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions, and I’ll always give your pet the attention, patience, and care I’d want for my own dogs.

Second time having Natalie come and check on my cat while I was out of town. Natalie did an amazing job taking care of my cat and giving her the medications that she needs. Her attention to detail and caring attitude make going on a trip worry free.

About: I've always had a passion for animals since I was very little. I was never able to have them of my own growing up because my dad was highly allergic. Once I graduated high school I moved out and rescued my first dog from a backyard breeder. He was a Pit-bull mix. 4 months later I rescued my golden saint from a hoarding situation which ended up in all of her animals getting taken away. I realized I wanted to help save more animals so I ended up becoming a foster mom. My first foster was a 7 year old Rottweiler named Sabrina. I only had her a short 3 months before I was told she had a stomach tumor that was not curable. I unfortunately made the decision to get her cremated and the last words I said to her was " I promise I will save as many animals like you as I possibly can." I kept that promise to her after 8 years already and plan to for many many more! Fast forward to today, i suddenly lost my soul dog in January 2026 but still have my golden saint and a Catahoula Leopard dog. He was my first foster fail 6 years ago. I wanted to extend my experience even more so now I pet sit/dog walk as well! I am experienced with senior dogs, puppies, aggressive dogs as well as dogs with high anxiety I have taken care of all sorts of animals such as hamsters, Guinea pigs, birds, snakes, miniature pigs, and of course cats and dogs! I treat every animal like my own and I guarantee I will become their best friend! My goal is to eventually own a building and name it in Sabrina's memory:) I am available for in home stays in your own home, overnights, drop ins, and dog walks on week days and weekends. If you see a date that is marked unavailable please still reach out to me as I might have some spots open or a last minute cancellation for those days. It is first come first serve so book while the dates are still available! In home/overnights- This includes play time, bathroom breaks, food and water replenishment, medication administration, baths if needed, walks, picture/video updates, and lots of snuggles! Drop ins- This includes food and water replenishment, bathroom breaks and a little bit of play time! Dog walking- I offer 1/2 hour walks and 1 hour walks

About: I’ve never lived in a house without my family owning multiple dogs. I’ve always loved to play and walk them, especially my own 2 dogs now! They are very young and active, which has taught me a lot. I am a waitress so I typically don’t start work until 4 or 5 pm, my shifts are anywhere from 3 to 5 hours. this gives me plenty of time during the day to walk or check in on your pups! I have my own dogs which could play with or also be kept separated from your dog. We have an awesome fenced in backyard with lots of room to run & play!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Akron on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 936 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Akron. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Akron stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Akron choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Akron with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 89% 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.
