“Kasey took great care of our pups on various drop in visits over the last 2 years. We are sad to be moving out of state! We appreciated Kasey’s care for our dogs, communication, and regular availability! Thanks Kasey!”
About: I worked at a vet clinic for a couple of years. I also worked at a dog training facility for a year. I know it’s hard to leave your fur baby behind but I can promise you that they will be safe and definitely loved! I just had a baby and not able to work in the moment. So I’m up early in the morning and up late at night so I’m very flexible! Well I will have to have my baby with me ( just a warning). But I normally treat them as my own. I will walk them every 2-3 hours then I’m there. If the owner has any schedule I follow the schedule or any instructions. I do normally send pictures and videos of the fur baby to the owner and keep them updated with everything.
“This was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad I selected Valerie. She did an amazing job with my dogs and was very patient with my questions. Would definitely use her services again.”
“Morgan did a great job taking care of our two kitties. She bonded with them right away and sent us great pictures with a message on how they were doing everyday. Would highly recommend Morgan.”
“Brittany is outstanding. She has an attention to detail and dedication that is unmatched. Whenever I step out of town I have all the confidence in the world that my pets are well taken care of. Brittany delivers with consistent communication and updates on my pets care that I felt was overlooked by other dog sitters prior. I am beyond fortunate to have someone like Brittany that cares and loves for the pets she sits as if they were her very own.”
“Jordan was fabulous! She was able to administer oral calming medication to our cat during our absence which we have not been able to do and she sent great reports and pictures. She did everything we asked her to do. We plan to use her again if we need a pet sitter.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ashley was amazing with my dogs, Arya and Salvatore, while I was away for the week! She was always on time, spent quality time playing with them in the yard, and made sure they got plenty of attention. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures, it gave me total peace of mind knowing they were happy and cared for. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Ryan is the best! He takes awesome care of our rowdy and sometimes overwhelming boy without even blinking. I've never seen Peep warm up to someone so quickly. Thanks for being great, Ryan!”
“Aaron was fantastic with our babies - showed up on time, and took them on walks at each visit. I know they loved his company! He has been very flexible and understanding with out last minute request. Thank you so much Aaron. We highly recommend him!”
“Kirsten was a great find when I needed someone to watch my special needs dachshund while he stayed with my brother. He really enjoyed spending time with her and she was sensitive to his needs. Would absolutely rebook with Kirsten the next time I'm in the Covington area!”
“Jesse did a great job first time with Tag, who is an anxious dog. Jesse is professional and friendly. He is very reassuring and took good care of Tag. we will definitely have Jesse take care of Tag again!”
About: My experience pet-sitting (before I joined Rover in 2019) began at age 14 and has consisted of taking care of neighbors and family friends' dogs, eventually getting gigs through personal referrals. Helping others look after their animals and taking care of them as my own while making a few extra dollars is the perfect gig for me! Dog-walking/sitting: I'm pretty active and love the outdoors, so I'm more than willing to take your fur baby on short or long excursions outside. Some of my favorite memories are taking my family's dogs on long walks and spending time with them at the lake. Cat-sitting: I love both cats AND dogs for very different reasons. Dogs are awesome because they're friendly, energetic, and man's best friend! Cats are so different in that they are sooo relaxing, hands-off compared to dogs, and relatively independent. Other animals: I have little experience in this arena but would love to take care of any other pets you may have! I'd love the opportunity to take care of your pets while you're away! :) I work full-time from home when not traveling for my job. Because I love animals and travel too much to have some of my own, pet sitting is the perfect, flexible gig for me! I treat my clients’ pets as my own, so I do let them on the bed or couch to snuggle if that’s something you allow in your home. My personal motto is “leave no trace” typically used for the outdoors, but that is also the standard I abide by when staying in a client’s home.
About: I got my dog when I was 13 and she was the best thing that happened to me. She was the most loving and caring dog I ever met but lost her to a serious illness and I just love to give out my heart to animals and would love to spend some time with your animals. I am a stay at home mom and the moment. Son is five and in kindergarten and he loves animals just as much as I do but because I’m not completely over losing my dog I haven’t been able to get him a dog for himself. I’m home and have a dog park right now the road from me so keeping dogs a breeze. I always have an eye on the animals. Never feed food other then the kind given. Nothing in the rooms that they would stay in that could hurt them.

Kasey too great care of my cats & dog. She was punctual and very dependable. The pets were happy when I got home & behaved as if I never left. Kasey provided photos of my pets and also was comfortable asking any questions needed to give the best care. Thank you so much Kasey!
We are so grateful for Kasey's help with our cats. She provided exceptional care for our 2 cats, proving to be incredibly hardworking and reliable. Beyond her professionalism, she is a joy to interact with. We will definitely be booking her again for our next trip. A++++

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cleveland is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $24 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 526 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cleveland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Cleveland. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
