“Suzanne went above and beyond to take care of my cat. I am blessed to have had her as a sitter while I was gone! I truly appreciate her care and effort and I would recommend her services to everyone!”

“Erin was great. Timely, great photo updates, and no news to report. Will definitely be reaching out to her again! That was the first time using Rover, and first time leaving my dog for a full weekend without a family member, and all went well!”

“Excellent service, made sure Bella was well fed and taken care of. Even cleaned up the messes Bella made of the pillow. Would highly recommend to others, will be doing business with her again in the future if needed.”

“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.”

About: Hi! I’m Robert. I’ve had animals all my life (dogs, cats, fish, lizards, hermit crabs, raised praying mantids and butterflies). I trap and spay/neuter feral cats (TNR), feed birds, planted a pollinator garden in my yard…love nature and appreciate the relationship between humans and animals. My small dog Tyson is 11 or 12 years old and has some special needs (anxiety, hip-problems, blind in one eye, and I am his 3rd owner), so I know patience and compassion when it comes to senior dogs. Two of my cats I’ve had since they were kittens, and the third cat was abandoned by a neighbor and chose me as her new human when they left her. Happy to accommodate your companion’s special needs, and will be honest with you if there is something I don’t feel confident about. I also use two water fountain bowls, so your friend will have access to clean, moving water. I am a bar tender and have been doing that work since 2006, 12 years at my current bar. I work part time there and have a good amount of free-time which I can use to take care of of your dog. I have a large fenced in yard (176 ft of 6ft tall wooden fence) with plenty of shade, water bowls, central air and heating. Pets are free to lounge anywhere in my house, but I do prefer dogs to be crated if I am away for their own safety, and peace of mind for me :) Please let me know if you have any rules you have for your pets at home, feeding schedule, potty-break schedule, etc.
“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.”

About: I noticed I’m always offering to take care of everyone’s pets in my personal life (HUGE animal lover) so I figured it’s time to join Rover. I’ve taken care of other pet owners cats, dogs, and rabbits in the past. I’ve had cats, dogs, and rabbits as pets as well as hamsters, goats, ducks, and fish growing up. I grew up in a small town in Ohio and my grandparents had a farm so I was around farm animals often. I don’t currently have any pets of my own as I work 10 hour shifts 4 days a week (nurse) so I would absolutely LOVE to watch and walk your pets whenever I’m not at work! Since I work long hours and am not in a good position to get a pet of my own at this time, I would love nothing more than to share the love with your pet(s). I do have a full time job but I’m available on weekends and evenings after approximately 6:30pm (perfect time for walks!). I also have one off day during the week that rotates. I do not have any pets of my own so your pet would have my full attention (also a plus if your pet does not get along well with other pets).
About: I've had a love for animals my entire life and have years of hands-on pet care experience. Growing up with two family dogs taught me the responsibilities of daily pet care, from feeding and walking to playtime, exercise, grooming, and making sure they always felt loved and cared for. In addition to caring for my own pets, I volunteered as a foster with Cincinnati Animal CARE, where I provided a safe and nurturing home for a foster cat. Through fostering, I gained experience helping a pet adjust to a new environment, establishing routines, monitoring their well-being, and giving them the patience and attention they needed to thrive before finding their forever home. These experiences have helped me become a compassionate, dependable caregiver who understands that every pet has their own personality and deserves individualized care. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. In addition to caring for dogs throughout my life, I also had the rewarding experience of fostering a cat through Cincinnati Animal CARE. Fostering taught me the importance of patience, creating a calm and safe environment, and helping an animal adjust to a new home and routine. I provided daily care, including feeding, cleaning the litter box, playtime, and plenty of affection while monitoring the cat's comfort and well-being. This experience strengthened my understanding that every pet has a unique personality and needs individualized care. Whether I'm caring for a playful kitten, a relaxed senior cat, or an energetic dog, I'm committed to making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable! My schedule allows for flexibility throughout most of the week. I attend classes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, so I have limited availability during those times. Outside of those class hours, I am available for pet care services, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I strive to be reliable and accommodating when scheduling visits, walks, or overnight care, and I will communicate promptly to ensure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. At my house I have a fenced in yard so my dog is protected from any of the animals around. Your dog’s safety and happiness always come first. I provide dependable care, constant supervision, and secure walks so you can feel completely at ease.
About: We are so excited to open our home to new visitors. We are a home with lots of love, a fenced-in yard, and a sweet 4-year-old dachshund-beagle to keep your pup company. I currently work from home and have the daytime and weekend availability to meet the needs of your pet. I'm available for boarding on the weekends and even house visits during the week. I have a large fenced-in yard with lots of sniffing areas. Our community is very walkable with sidewalks, parks, and the beach nearby. Our pup Ruby is great with other dogs and would love to have a buddy in our home to play with.

About: Hi, I'm Jillian! As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets are family. When your pet is in my care, they'll be treated with the same love, attention, and respect that I would give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and confident while you're away. What sets me apart is my ability to care for pets with a wide range of needs. As a recent nursing student with healthcare experience, I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications, monitoring for changes in behavior or health, and maintaining specialized routines for pets with medical conditions or unique needs. Whether your pet requires extra patience, medications, mobility assistance, or simply a structured daily schedule, I am committed to providing reliable and attentive care. I'm also a very active person who loves spending time outdoors. If your dog enjoys long walks, hikes, playtime, or exploring new sights and smells, I'd be thrilled to keep them active and engaged. Of course, if your pet prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, I'm happy to provide that too! I also want to keep you in the loop as much as possible! Expect to get tons of photos and videos sent to you throughout the day. This allows me to keep you updated while also providing a peace of mind that your pet is being loved and cared for while you are away! I believe every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and routine to make their experience as stress free and enjoyable as possible. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I am currently a nanny part time for the summer before I start my a new job in the fall. This allows me to have an open schedule while also being flexible for last minute walks or sits! I prefer to care for pets in their own home! I love being apart and learning their daily routine and making their day even better when I’m there. Whether that’s going on a long walk or giving them a few extra treats!!
About: I have grown up with a dog in my house since I was born. I have taken care of neighbors and friends dogs while they have went on vacation or just out of town for work. Since moving away for college and now graduate school, I am looking for my dog fix since I cannot own one myself With the summer starting and vacations coming up I will do my best to be available for your dogs. I do have other responsibilities such as school and work but I am always 100% with my clients if I will be a good fit for the stay/drop or not. If you are looking to book with me but see my availability is different then what you’re looking for, please still send me a message and I will do my best to accommodate to make it work! Since I am not able to host dogs at my current place of residence, this will allow the dog to feel more comfortable with a stranger coming to take care of them while the owners are away for however long. I will adjust to their routine so they hardly notice the owners are gone. They will receive all the belly rubs and love they could ask for until their owner returns home
“Caitlin is responsive and communicative! I know my Millie is in good hands whenever Caitlin can sit for her. Plus she updates with pictures and videos. Thanks for all that you do for Millie!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, there were always pets in the house, so caring for animals has been a natural part of my daily routine for years. Today, I have three cats of my own who get plenty of love, attention, and care. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away Pet care is already part of my daily routine. I care for my three cats every day, including feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and making sure they’re happy and healthy. Because I’m used to planning my day around animals’ needs, adding walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting fits naturally into my schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide reliable care and attention while owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, receive plenty of attention, and get any exercise or playtime requested. I respect my clients’ homes, keep doors and gates secure, and provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are safe and comfortable while they’re away
About: I say the above because for many years, my long time dog buddy, Shelby (pictured in the photo I'm holding), loved to ride in my car, right by my side. Shelby passed away in 2018 and I miss her so much, every day. In 2019, I rescued a blue heeler/beagle mix, Nova; then in 2024, a shepherd mix, Holly. Dogs have been my companions for more than 40 years, and I have loved caring for, walking, playing, vacationing and just plain hanging with them. . I truly love dogs. They are one of humankind's most noble and steadfast animal friends. I would very much enjoy taking your best friend (or friends) for a walk. I have always enjoyed the company of my canines...and I'm sure I'd feel the same way about your four-legged pals. Plus, getting out with them is great exercise...for both dog and human! I am semi retired, so I have much flexibility in the hours that can be devoted to dog walking. I walk my own dogs in all kinds of weather, which is necessary given the variable climate here in NE Ohio! In my own home, my dogs get out for walks at least three times a day, we well as potty breaks where necessary. They have crates where they can freely go to when they wish to. Most important is that the dogs and I adhere to a stable, regular routine, including feeding and playtimes.
“Michelle was wonderful with our two dogs and one cat. She sent pics and checked in often to update me on how they were doing. Certainly recommend Michelle and will use her again!!”

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 Bay Village 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.

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.
