“I would like to give Alexandria K 5 stars! We were very pleased with her house sitting and care of our fur babies, Bailey & Pickles. We look forward to working with her in the future.”

“Rachel was an enormous weight off our shoulders and we cannot thank her enough. We left the country for 7 days, and were so nervous to have someone take care of our animals. We have one dog who is not fond of strangers and needs extra time for getting comfortable. In fact, she’s never stayed with anyone other than the three people she knows and loves. By the end of the week, our pup was playing her favorite sport with Rachel, frisbee! We couldn’t have been happier with our choice of Rachel to comfort our sensitive girl. Rachel also sent loads of daily pictures that always brightened our day and made us feel much better at being away. We will not hesitate to use Rachel in the future and are so happy we found someone that our animals enjoy.”


“We had Andie house sit for us while we were out of town for a few days and I would highly recommend booking with her! She was very nice and easy to work with and our animals were well taken care of. The house was left in perfect shape and with happy animals!”


“Rebecca watched our two cars for three weeks. She left the house spotless and the kitties well taken care of. I would have given her five stars if she had sent more updates and pictures. Even if they are just sleeping, we like to see them! Thanks, Rebecca. We will use you again!”

“Tony is an amazing! He has cared so well for our 3 heathens including a wild puppy and a needy senior. He has done so with so much kindness and grace. He stays in our home and helps our pups stay in their own routine. He cares well for our home as well and leaves it cleaner than he found it. Tony is sincerely among the best. He is definitely our go to sitter.”


“Jennifer was wonderful with Bambi! She was kind, reliable, and took great care of her while following all of our instructions. It gave us peace of mind knowing Bambi was in good hands. We’d happily book with her again!”

“Randall is absolutely phenomenal! He went above and beyond caring for our kittens while we were away. His updates were detailed, full of adorable photos, and perfectly balanced…enough to keep us connected without being intrusive. He checked in several times a day, and his kindness, humor, and genuine love for animals really shone through. Randall stayed in our home the entire time and gave our kittens 24/7 love and attention — they were so spoiled and happy when we got back! He’s attentive, responsible, fun, and feels like part of the family now. Truly one of the best sitters we’ve ever had. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Elizabeth was amazing with boomer. He’s a senior and she took such great care of him! Took him on walks even in thr cold weather and kept his routine the same everyday! Can’t thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone looking to have their dog watched, choose her and you won’t regret it! Thank you again!”

“Jason took unbelievably good care of my dog Ginger. Cuddles, pats and walks everyday plus plenty of time in the yard. The house was immaculate. Clean sheets on the bed, dishes washed, all good! I highly recommend him!”

“Annicka was a pleasure to work with! She was incredibly kind, communicative, and easy to talk to. During our initial meeting, she asked thoughtful, detailed questions about our puppy’s care, which immediately put us at ease. Throughout her time with him, she was reliable and kept us well-informed with great updates. We felt completely confident leaving our pup in her care and would absolutely utilize her again, as well as recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter.”

About: * Having served my local community's pet care needs in Missouri for over 3 years now, both through Rover and my private business, I've built a solid foundation of recurring clients, such that I do not have many current reviews on this page. I am quite proud of the relationships I've developed with my clients and their animals, and that we've established the trust, confidence, and history of reliability needed to have years behind our professional relationships. * After a full Marine Corps career wrapped up in North Carolina, my family and I moved to Missouri and have begun putting down our roots. I have maintained my CPR and First Aid certifications for 4 years, am privately insured and bonded. My personal pack of pups are older, so I have a significant amount of experience with seniors, to include administering medication and special physical needs, but also have cared for senior kitties, puppies, kittens, and a variety of small caged animals. In the time that we've been in Cass County, I've cared for pigs, horses, chickens, and ducks, but am willing to be taught how to care for most any animal that the owner is willing to take time to show me how to do. I am am member of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters and Pet Sitters International. I am experienced in knowing and recognizing the signs of stress in cats and dogs, and their body language, and strive to maintain continuing education about the animals I take care of through online courses, in person courses, and personally guided studies. My pet care business, both personal and through Rover, is my full time job as clients make requests of me. I am available for regular visits in your home for potty breaks, meals, administering medication, and/or walks around your neighborhood. I am also available for house sitting in your home. My house sitting services are dedicated care from 8p to 8a, with one half-hour midday visit. Additional visits can be scheduled if needed as regular drop in visits. I am available for more constant care on a case by case basis that can be discussed at the time the dates are submitted. The more information you can give me about your pets, the better, so that I can make them as comfortable as possible with our visits. Before a booking begins, I'll set up an emergency plan with you so you can take comfort in knowing your pets are in good hands. With each visit, I send several pictures and a detailed card so you know exactly how our visit(s) went. I carry a First Aid kit with me to each visit and am able to take care of any small issues that may arise. For house sitting, I have a questionnaire that needs to be completed before our first meeting, and am always happy to answer any questions that may come from it. When you leave your pets in my care, I want you to be confident in knowing that I've done everything possible to care for them to the best of my abilities.
“What happy puppies! Thank you so much. I can tell they enjoyed your time with them. They were calm and happy to see me. They did look for you like, ‘hey where’s our new friend?’ I will definitely check out your availability when I need to travel again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,381 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cleveland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Cleveland 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 Cleveland 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Cleveland 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
