“I don’t have enough words to sing the praises of Caitlin. She was absolutely wonderful with our 3 cats. She truly went above and beyond to make sure they all were happy and loved on. She treated them like they were her own pets. I really can’t recommend her enough. It was much easier for us to relax and enjoy our vacation especially knowing she was caring for one of our cats who needed special attention. Thankful she was so trustworthy, responsible and had a huge heart for our cats!! Thank you Caitlin!!!”
“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!”
“Susan did an outstanding job taking care of Lucy during our time away. She arrived exactly on time for each drop-in visit, communicated clearly and consistently, and kept us well informed throughout. Lucy is a Belgian Malinois with plenty of energy, and Susan handled her confidently and professionally. It was clear Lucy was well cared for and comfortable in her care. We truly appreciated her reliability and attention to detail. I would absolutely recommend Susan to anyone looking for dependable, high-quality care for their pet.”
“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!”
About: I’ve watched and walked friend and family pets for years, including puppies and senior dogs of all sizes/breeds, as well as kittens, cats, and the occasional exotic pet! I work from home full-time and have lots of flexibility in my day to care for my pets and yours! I’m happy to care for your pets on the weekends as well. I am a proud helicopter dog mom to two golden retrievers! Their safety is my first priority and I will treat your fur babies like they are my own!
“Maddy is a caring and attentive sitter. She proactively clarified instructions and followed them to the letter. She gave detailed updates from the visits and always added several photos of the cats playing, eating, hanging out, and being petted. She successfully administered meds to our two senior cats who can be wiggly and hide before dosing. I would definitely book Maddy again to drop in and care for our cats!”
“Kaleigh is so willing to accomodate last minute travel plans, and for that, we are so grateful! Our cats love seeing her and they're always well cared for whenever she stops in!”
“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!”
“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: 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.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities for over 20 years. As a neonatal nurse practitioner, providing attentive, compassionate care is part of who I am, and I bring that same level of responsibility and love to every pet I watch. I’m the proud owner of Kona, my friendly 9-year-old Lab/Shar-Pei mix, and I have two young children who have grown up around dogs and are gentle and respectful with animals. Because of my flexible schedule, I’m available most days of the week and can provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with people, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“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.”
“James was fantastic with our cats. He had thoughtful questions prior to us being away, and was really communicative during our time away. He went above and beyond when we had a sensor issue with our Simplisafe alarm system.”
“Eva was amazing! She was so sweet and kind to my puppy, she was very punctual and followed all my instructions throughly! I would definitely recommend her to anyone and would love to book with her again!”
“My pups love Devon! I also foster and she’s up for taking care of 3 dogs if I need her to. She is easy to communicate with, reliable, and provides great care for my pups. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Ellen was great! I really appreciate her sending me photo updates while I was away - especially because it seems like she had to go looking for them since they were shy while I was away. Gave me a lot of peace of mind.”
“Lexie was fantastic with daily check ins for my sweet cat while we were away for almost two weeks. She gave her a lot of loves, playtime, and special treats, sending me lots of pics each time so I got to stay updated on her happenings. I’ll definitely rebook in the future and highly recommend!”

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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Avon Lake on Rover is $20.33 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 August 2026, there are 1,858 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
