“Lori did a very nice job watching our pets while we were on vacation. They were well fed, she took the dogs outside often and watered our plants. She sent pictures of our pets every day and told us how they were doing. She informed us when she was leaving the house for a while and didn't stay away very long. We were impressed how well our chihuahuas liked her. Our dogs don't like very many people....at all. We look forward to having Lori watch our pets when we go on vacation again.”
“Brittany took care of our aging dog (and itinerant cat) for a week while staying a our house in November, 2021. She was wonderful - very responsible and conscientious. Sent daily updates, pix and was really nice to work with. House looked great when we got home. We would be happy to have her sit anytime!”
“Maria was outstanding. My cats were chill and happy when I arrived home. She even refilled my bird feeders. Much gratitude for her love and care of Bodhi and Bear. Will definitely use again and highly recommend 💜”
“We did not know Tara before our trip, and I was a little nervous about leaving our pets with someone new. But I didn’t need to be. She did a wonderful job taking care of our beloved dog, and our bunny, and kept us updated on how they were doing, as we had asked - which allowed me to relax and have a nice time away. I highly recommend her!”
“Emily was fantastic! She kept us informed and sent lots of pictures and videos while watching our 2 pug puppy’s. The boys just love her I will always turn to Emily if I can’t take my pups with me. She made our trip that much better , thank you emily”
“Tamela did an amazing job of watching our dog Forrest for us! She was very attentive and gave us updates while we were gone to put my anxiety at ease! Highly recommend her and will definitely be utilizing her care going forward!”
“Felix was so wonderful in caring for our two pups! He was kind, considerate and our dogs took to him immediately. We felt at ease being away from them knowing Felix was there. Looking forward to working with him again soon!”
About: I grew up always having dogs in the household, but currently do not have any. However, my wife and I have cats. Five to be precise, lol. We've also helped around 40 stray cats over the years get spayed, neutered, or rehomed. It's a sad, never ending battle, but always worth it! I also donate to local shelters and non-profits when I have the funds. Things I offer depending on which service: - Daily walks - Potty breaks, up to 1-5 times per day - Combing at least once per stay - Waste removal - Medication - Play time - Treats! I hope through Rover I am able to bond with your pup or kitty and build friendship & trust with your family.
“It was such a relief to have Aidan caring for my dogs at my house while I was gone on my 8 day vacation. My pups are 14 and 11 years old and have special dietary and medical needs and he was able to keep them well fed, medicated and happy! This was the first time in their whole lives that I didn't have friends or family available to watch them, but I didn't have to worry as Aidan sent pictures and kept me up to date on how things were going. If I am in this situation again Aidan will be the first person I reach out to!”
About: Trusted Dog Sitter with Years of Experience! Family and friends have recommended me to their own family and friends. I’m passionate about making your dog feel at home, providing attentive care, playtime, and exercise tailored to their personality and needs. Whether they love long walks, play sessions, or cozy cuddles, I’m here to ensure they’re happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away. Let me give your dog the care they deserve and peace of mind for you! I am currently in school at The University of Akron, but I commute from home in Wadsworth. I am only on campus for one or two classes a day. My schedule is pretty open otherwise, so we should be able to work around whenever you need me! I do not board pets in my own home. I travel to your home for part-time stops, full day, or overnight pet sitting. I can even do weekends!
“Audrey was AMAZING with Malibu! Malibu was recently adopted and very timid with new people, but Audrey did a great job and Malibu loosened up and even cuddled her sometimes. Audrey sent multiple pictures daily and checked in daily. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Michelle watched our babies during our wedding weekend! She was amazing and we were able to relax and really enjoy our wedding without worrying about our babies. We also have a dog with reactive issues and she was great with her. We highly recommend Michelle and our dogs love her!”
“Brittani was fantastic! She has excellent communication and sends plenty of pics. I was nervous leaving my dog, he’s older and just likes attention, I could tell he was in good hands and she kept me updated on how he was doing. Will definitely be asking for her help again and again!”
“Gray was a great match for my dog! She was attentive to all her needs and quirks. My dog requires a few extra meet and greets and Gray was more than willing to go the extra mile for her. We’ll be using her again in the future!”
About: I've always believed that dogs aren't "just pets" - they're family. That's why I want every dog I care for to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their people are away. When I come to your home, I don't want your pup to feel like someone simply stopped by to let them outside. i want them to look forward to seeing me! Whether it's a potty break, a little playtime, some belly rubs, or simply sitting with them and giving them company, I take the time to make their visit special. I'm the person who will notice the little things- if your dog seems extra tired, isn't eating normally, needs extra attention, or just wants someone to sit beside them. I'll follow your instructions and your dog's routine because I know every pup has their own personality and needs. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing that while you're gone, someone caring and dependable is looking after your best friend. I currently work 3 days a week. I self schedule at my other job so I can fit more time in doing what I love, which is caring for pets. I do not offer caring for pets in my home. I have two dogs of my own at my home that I need to be cautious of.
About: I can show that I am committed to providing the best care for each pet by taking the time to get to know them. I am responsible. I can demonstrate experience by noting the breeds of animals you've cared for, any behavior challenges. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I am passionate about caring for animals. I am able to plan my schedule around feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide consistent, loving care while keeping pet parents updated.🐾 I provide loving, reliable care for every pet as if they were my own. Depending on the service, I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure they have fresh water and a clean, safe environment. I am experienced with dogs and always pay close attention to their individual needs, personality, and comfort. I will also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel comfortable knowing their pet is being well cared for.🐾

“A+++ a fantastic person who was so caring for my little guy. Catherine provided just the right amount of updates with photos and videos of his progress / status. She took him on walks and helped him with his training journey. She’s thorough upfront to know what’s needed and is comfortable asking questions throughout. She’s thorough upfront to make the process smooth. She really earned my trust during this stay and I’d love to have her support again in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Boston Heights
We had a wonderful experience and couldn’t have asked for a better house and cat sitter! She was reliable, thoughtful, and communicative throughout our trip, regularly sending pictures and updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. She even went above and beyond by helping us with a package that arrived during our absence. We returned to a home that was just as neat and clean as we left it, and everything was well taken care of. It was clear she took her responsibilities seriously and genuinely cared about doing a great job. We would absolutely welcome her back and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and considerate sitter!

The average cost of House Sitting in Boston Heights is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $42 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Boston Heights walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Boston Heights maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Boston Heights 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!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
