About: I’ve been around all sorts of furry friends, flighty friends, and the scaley ones ect. The love and passion I have has always set me aside from most and I’ve also gathered many different experiences in the animal care field. In my growing path, I’ve worked for the Lorain County Metroparks multiple times and have been volunteering with animals since the age of 16! Pet care fits great into my daily routine due to my part-time career currently and my passion for the animal care field!! I also have 5+ years of animal handling experience/ dieting❤️ I have a fenced in yard all around and also pay attention to daily behaviors and movements. Also prioritize outdoor time and play time as well.
“Julia was fantastic! She was kind, compassionate, and caring towards my kitties and she followed my instructions perfectly (since I have a cat that needs medication). She helped ease my anxiety, gave me updated pictures daily, and was quick to respond if I had any comments or questions. I will absolutely be using her services in the future!”
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.
“We were so lucky to find Caitlin to watch our kitties over the July 4th holiday weekend. She did an excellent job with feeding directions, sending photos & talking to our cats while we were away. We felt very confident & comfortable with Caitlin’s kitty care & highly recommend her. Thanks so much & will use again. Bob & Fran W.”
“Susana was great! We have a very elderly dog with a lot of issues and Susana did not hesitate to accept the booking and did a great job. She communicated well and problem solved when our pup was having some issues. Thank you for caring for Mitsi!”
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I've owned dogs of all breeds and sizes over the years, and currently share my home with my five-year-old Boxer, Olly. Olly has multiple allergies and follows a strict homemade diet, so I understand the importance of sticking to special diets, medication schedules, and individualized care. I know every pet has unique needs, and I'm happy to provide the extra patience and attention they deserve. Rain, snow, or sunshine, walks and playtime are always part of our routine! I've also discovered that I'm quite the cat lover. We adopted our cat, Dodger, a little over a year ago, and he has completely stolen our hearts. Whether your cat loves to play or prefers a quiet companion, I'm happy to give them the care and affection they need while you're away. In addition to dogs and cats, I'm comfortable caring for reptiles and small mammals too—just please, no tarantulas! I treat every pet as if they were my own because I know they're family. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. Whether you need regular walks, drop-in visits, or care while you're away, I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I make communication a priority. I'll send updates, photos, and plenty of tail-wagging (or purring!) moments so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I'll follow your instructions carefully, whether that means feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or plenty of belly rubs. I understand that every pet has their own personality and preferences. I'll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I'll keep things clean and tidy, lock doors and make sure your pet is safe before I leave.
“Susan took wonderful care of our Belgian Malinois, Lucy, while we were away. Anyone familiar with the breed knows they require an experienced, attentive, and caring person, and Susan gave us complete confidence that Lucy was in good hands. She kept us updated, made sure Lucy was well cared for, and gave us real peace of mind throughout our trip. Knowing Lucy was safe and happy allowed us to relax and enjoy being away. We couldn’t be happier with the care Susan provided. She is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet. Thank you, Susan, for taking such great care of Lucy!”
“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!”
“Madelyn takes wonderful care of our pup! She provides informative updates and photos. If there are any schedule changes, she communicates them well in advance so we can make other arrangements. Malley loves his visits with her.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a long time as they have always been a family pet for me, as we typically had 4 at time. I’ve also pet sat for neighbors and friends. I am currently not working so I have open availability. I have no pets at home so I am able to stay and pet sit. I have a car so can take dogs on rides and take them to parks and out for walks. I will make sure they are comfortable.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I think they make a home a home. I’m waiting to retire before I find my next friend, so I can devote all my attention to yours! I’m comfortable with all aspects of dog care, including giving medication. I currently work full-time, at a location just three blocks from my home. I go home every day for lunch, and I’m off at 4:30. Plenty of time for walks and care in the morning, at lunch and all evening☺️ I have a fenced yard, food and water bowls and other supplies. I can crate your dog or gate it in an area to keep it secure and cozy. It can also find its own spot if that’s what makes your pup happy.
About: Hey there! I am an animal lover who has 10 years of experience raising and caring for my family's tiny furry best friend; Mia (Dachshund/Pomeranian). When we are together we love to take daily walks, run around the yard, play tug of war in the living room, and snuggle on the couch. I make sure she is fed, groomed, and, of course, gets her morning and evening treats. I live with my sisters cat in our apartment and am comfortable caring for your feline friends, as well. My friends and family have entrusted me to take care of their pets, large and small, over the years. Whether it's going for a long walk or spending quality time at home, I'm here to make sure your furry friend feels safe and loved while you're away. I am currently between jobs so I have a flexible schedule to work with. Aside from errands and remote tasks I have plenty of time to give to your furry friends. I am here to adapt to your pets routine and environment to keep things as comfortable and normal as their usual day to day as possible.

“I am happy to share that barely took excellent care of my cat while I was away on vacation. I was extremely impressed upon our first meet and greet where she also brought her husband. Bailey took excellent care of my cat, brought in the mail, and sent timely messages with photos!! I came home to a clean house and a happy cat! I would highly recommend her to watch your pet.”
About: I have several years of cat and dog experience. I grew up with animals and have taken care of them from early ages all the way through senior ages. I love all animals like their my own and love taking care of them! I'm currently working full time. However, I have evenings, weekends and holiday's off. I am pretty flexible with my weekends and can accommodate you and your animals for any needs! I have lots of training in dog walking.

Emily was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She was attentive, caring, and clearly took the time to make sure they were happy and comfortable. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She was communicative, dependable, and treated my dogs like they were her own. I came home to happy, well-loved pups, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely recommend Emily and would be thrilled to have her care for my dogs again! 5 Start sitter ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,831 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Avon Lake. 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 Avon Lake 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Avon Lake. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
