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
“We are officially recurring customers. Amber is awesome! She not only cares for the boys but makes sure my house is in good order. She cleaned up the entire yard after my boys which was above and beyond expectations.”
“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.”
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.
“Tyler was very fast at communicating back to me and very knowledgeable. I could tell my pup had a good time during her drop in, she was all tuckered out. Exactly what I was looking for. Definitely will rebook with him.”
“My dogs were great. Brendan checked in every time and sent me pictures. My dogs are very calm and I can tell no stress that we were gone for a couple of days. Would absolutely ask Brendan again. Thank you!!!”
“Trish is wonderful with our 13-year old yellow lab, Emma. Emma is on various medications and requires some special care. Trish has her figured out perfectly. Highly recommend!”
“Carrie worked hard to engage our two cats. They seemed content when we got home much later than expected, without fighting or displaying bad behavior. (Our cats do not get along) She kept up with their meds and messes and the house looked great when we got home.”
“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!”
About: My dog growing up was a black lab chow mix, so I work well with energetic dogs and love to run and play with them. I love to be outside and would love to take your dog on a walk/hike with me! I joined Rover to spend time with animals, get some exercise, and help you take care of your furry companions. I am hardworking, reliable, and punctual. I’m currently working hybrid so I’m flexible with dog walking times and my ability to dog sit! My job is 9-5, but I can stop over before/after and on breaks between meetings depending on your dog’s needs! I am flexible to either let your dog out in a fenced-in-backyard or take them on a leashed walk! The length and duration of that walk can be adapted to your dogs’ energy levels!
About: I've loved cats my whole life! I have three cats of my own, and have fostered almost a hundred cats through the Cleveland APL. I have experience with all ages and temperaments, from friendly kittens to shy adults. I am able to tell when a cat wants attention, and work with cats who need a little bit more space to feel confident. I am able to give pills, eyedrops, and other medications to cats as needed. I can recognize changes in behaviors and alert pet owners when something seems concerning. My experience doesn't end with cats! I've owned rats, mice and hamsters and understand the importance of having someone experienced with small animals to watch them. Your small pets will receive the same high quality of care. I'm a remote worker so I have plenty of time for drop in visits as needed! My schedule is flexible, and I want to make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible. I'm excited to care for your pets in your home. I am very careful around doors to the home, as I know how quickly pets can escape. I will follow your instructions closely to keep their daily routine as close to normal as possible.
“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: Hello! I’m Madeline, an avid animal lover. I’ve been my street’s pet sitter since I was 14, and have always been around dogs my entire life - big and small. For dogs, I have 2 years of experience doing routine visits which includes: play, food, potty breaks, and lots of pets. I’ve also had 2 years experience for watching cats which includes: food, litter, lots of pets! In the summer and winter, I am free all week for pet care. The rest of the year I am a full time art student. I will follow any instructions or advice provided first and foremost to keep both you and your pet comfy and happy. However without instructions, I will feed 2 times per day, visit 3 times for potty breaks for dogs, and let out litter daily for cats.
About: I have experience helping with both family and friends - dog sitting and housesitting! I enjoy long walks daily so adding a dog into the mix would be great. I work at a local hospital and have a lot of flexibility due to multiple days off. If you need any additional information about myself don't hesitate to reach out to me. I'm that person that most dogs gravitate towards so you won't go wrong choosing me to take care of them. I work only 3 days a week which leaves me with a lot of flexibility during the week and weekends. I decided I needed something fulfilling and enjoyable on my days off and will have continuous days I can dedicate. I have many years of taking care of close friends and family’s animals, I also have nannied previously for families that also have dogs/cats. I treat everyone’s animals as if they are mine. No one should ever feel unsafe or hesitant about leaving their animals with someone and I aim to erase that fear for the owner(s).
About: Hi! My name is Evelyn! I have taken care of all sorts of animals my whole life, From big dogs to small dogs and cats!

But I most certainly will come to your home, and care for your pet!! Whether you need me to take your pet on a walk, feed them, play with them! That’s what I’m here for :)
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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for several years! I have two huskies of my own now. I have raised dogs from their puppy stage all the way up to their adulthood on my own and for families I babysat for. I am very active and energetic and would love to walk yours too! I am currently not employed so I am available any time and day! I usually walk my own dogs 4 times a day but can work around your schedule. I would be able to care for your pets in your home. I have two huskies of my own and my partner would be staying home with them as I stay at your home to watch your pets.
“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!!”

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 Bay Village 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 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.
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.

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

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.
