About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was young! I’ve taken my neighbors dogs on walks and come visit them if they were away for a couple of hours! I love all dogs and cats! I currently work during the day, so in the evening I’m available to take care of your fur babies! Whether that’s taking them on walks, hanging out with them, or feeding them! I am very flexible when it comes to the care of your pet! When that is doing extra for their care, if you need an extra visit, or doing something you forgot to mention!
About: I have had dogs in my house my whole life, and for the past few years, I have been dog-sitting for numerous families for long periods of time. I am equipped to walk, let out, feed, administer medications, play, and take care of any other needs your dog may have. I work as a caregiver on Saturdays and Sundays for 6 hours each day, but otherwise, I can spend the rest of my time with your pup. I make it a priority to get any instructions my clients may have regarding their pup and make sure to follow them. I also make sure that I am always in earshot when in the home with the dog so that if anything happens, I can quickly act.
“Alicia is always great! She responds quickly and does everything she can to help out, even on last minute notice much of the time. She is great with our dogs and such a nice person. 100% recommend!”
“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%!”
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 have experience with sitting a wide range of pets. This includes dogs, cats, turtles, rabbits, horses, goats, chickens, and even geese! I now reside in Avon Lake. However, throughout college and as a resident of Athens, I provided overnight care and check ins for folks who own farms, or for folks who had a smaller furry family. I have learned on the job from hands on experience, and I have owned my own pets as well! My clients love that I provide them with regular updates and pictures of their animals. Not only will I care for your animals while you are away, but I will keep up with chores so you don’t come home to a mess! My main goal for many of my clients was to provide them some relief from their farm as they took a much needed vacation. I hope to work with you so that you can take that trip stress free! I am open to offer services anytime as long as I am aware 2 weeks in advance so that I can schedule around it. I currently don’t have a job so my availability is open. Thank you! I establish a loving relationship with all animals, no matter how big or small or whether the dog has a disability or health conditions. I have taken care of a blind elderly dog named Otto who has since passed away. That dog taught me so much about how to establish a connection through touch and sound. I can find ways to workaround roadblocks with any animal (and offer them lots of treats and pets while I’m at it).
“I was very happy with the services Tiffany provided watching our cats while we were out of town. One of our cats went into hiding and she went above and beyond trying to find her her. She reported in every day with pictures and stayed in touch with me throughout our time away. I'll definitely use Tiffany again for any future trips out of town.”
“Julie took our Sadie out for a potty break and spent time playing with her when we were gone for the day. She sent some pictures, it eased our minds to see that Sadie was being taken care of. We really appreciated it. I would recommend Julie.”
About: I am an experienced and dependable pet caregiver with a Lifelong love for dogs. Having cared for three dogs, including both puppies and senior dogs, I understand the unique needs that come with every stage of a dog's life. In addition to caring for dogs throughout my life, I regularly dog sit and walk dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience with small, medium, and large breeds, caring for multiple dogs at once, administering medications, following feeding schedules, providing exercise, and offering overnight care when needed. Because I work from home, I have the flexibility to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. My favorite part of pet care is getting to know each dog's unique personality, building a bond with them, and seeing their excitement and tail wags when they feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, reliable, and caring experience that gives pet owners peace of mind while they're away. As a work-from-home pet caregiver, I’m able to provide pets with consistent attention throughout the day. I enjoy living an active lifestyle, including daily walks and regular exercise, so I’m comfortable handling dogs with a variety of energy levels, including larger and more active breeds. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or cuddles, I work pet care naturally into my routine and strive to keep each pet’s schedule as consistent as possible. I care for pets by prioritizing their comfort, safety, and normal routine in either my home or the client’s home. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I make sure each pet gets individualized attention based on their energy level, personality, and any special instructions from the owner. When caring in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all routines exactly as instructed so pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I keep communication open with regular updates, photos, and check-ins so owners always know how their pet is doing. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away.
“Jana is awesome! She genuinely cares about my puppy and take great care of him. As a new puppy momma, she's provided a great deal of peace of mind knowing Finn was taken care of when I went back to work.”
“We are so happy we found Heather! She took amazing care of our two boys! Super attentive with them! Always made sure they had clean water, topped off their food and cleaned their litter box! Happy to know that we have Heather to watch our boys when need!”
“Brittany was great at communicating with me, especially because my cat is antisocial. I didn’t anticipate Brittany seeing her so she let me know that the food and water were being consumed and she was using the litter box. It made my travels much easier! I’d book with Brittany again.”
“Lauren provided absolutely above & beyond attention to my cat for a week. I extremely, highly recommend her to anyone ... and will be employing her services again in the very near future!”
“Sarah was great. I have an older dog & cat and 2 younger cats who like to sneak out and she did great. Keeping tabs on my escapees wasn’t easy but she was able to do it which made me feel so much better being away.”
“truly can't say enough wonderful things about Marissa! From the moment she came over before our trip to meet our dogs and learn their routine, we knew they were going to be in great hands. She treated our puppies like they were her own. Every drop-in was right on time, and she always sent updates with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. What really sets Marissa apart is how she handled an unexpected emergency. During the hottest week of the summer, our air conditioner stopped working with only 24 hours left in our trip. As soon as she noticed the house was getting too warm, she contacted us immediately. She went above and beyond, helping us troubleshoot the issue from a distance and refusing to leave our dogs alone until she knew they were safe. She even helped get the downstairs temperature back to 76 degrees. When she realized the upstairs was still much too hot for the dogs to be crated overnight, she didn't hesitate to offer to spend the night with them—without us even asking. That level of care, compassion, and dedication is something you simply can't teach. Knowing she was there with our dogs allowed us to relax, even though we were so far from home. She did an amazing job caring for both of our pups—our 150-pound lap dog and our demanding little pitty! They absolutely adored her, and it's obvious she genuinely loves the animals she cares for. If you're looking for someone who is dependable, caring, communicative, and willing to go above and beyond, Marissa is the one. We will absolutely be using her again, even for short day trips. Thank you, Marissa, for taking such incredible care of our babies. We are beyond grateful!”
About: I have had pets since childhood. Right now I am petless😞 so would love to take care of your babies! Please know you can trust they will get lots of love! I am currently unemployed and have lots of time to spend with your pet, playing or just sitting and loving them. Thank you for trusting and considering me. I will care for them by listening to what the owner instructs in either my home or theirs. Personally I think the pet is more comfortable in their familiar surroundings.

Heather was amazing! She sent photos of my baby girl daily during her visit or on their daily walks. Heather was always on time and stayed the entire 30 minutes. It was a relief finding someone like Heather to take care of my dog while I was away. I would definitely recommend heather for your dog sitting needs.
So very grateful for finding Amy for several drop-in visits for an extended weekend trip. She was wonderful, and I was at ease throughout our trip knowing she was taking care of the boys. I would absolutely recommend her for anyone needing drop-in visits, and I look forward to having her again in the future.
Kara was a last minute schedule and she was wonderful. It was easy to set up, she responded quickly to our request. She made sure she knew what was needed and gave us a thorough report on her visits with Peanut Butter. She followed up as needed. We will look to use Kara's services again in the future. It is really nice that she is only 2 blocks away also.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Avon Lake stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Avon Lake 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 .

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 Avon Lake with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
