“Rachel was amazing and we will most definitely be calling her again! We went on a family trip and she accommodated taking care of both our dog and my in-law's pets (one dog, two cats). Our dog has some anxiety and doesn't always do well around strangers, but Rachel was so great at letting her warmup to her and she was comfortable around her after one visit! We were able to enjoy our family vacation knowing all our pets were so well taken care of!”

“Jason and Liz were absolutely amazing! They stepped in at the last minute when our original Rover sitter had an emergency, and we couldn’t be more grateful. They kept us updated with messages and photos of Jack, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Their communication was excellent, and it was clear Jack was in great hands. We will definitely be using them again!”

“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!”


“Jenni was outstanding! She was great to communicate with, went above and beyond in taking care of the house, and most importantly, the animals really felt safe with her. We will absolutely be requesting her services again.”

“Isabel was able to jump in and watch our pets when 2 other sitters canceled within a week of our departure. Keep us informed with notes and photos and did a great job with the house during her stay. Thanks so much for watching our pups!”

“Rachel did an excellent job house sitting and taking care of our Biggie. She sent pictures everyday. We were so nervous about leaving since our dog is a bit older, but after a few days in, we knew he was in good hands. She snuggled him through thunderstorms and made sure he was comfortable through fireworks on the 4th. We were able to relax and enjoy vacation knowing Rachel was taking such good care of our boy. She kept up with his routine, and medications. She washed blankets and sheets. She tidied up before leaving, and we came back to a nice clean home with our mail stacked nicely. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Morgan was absolutely FANTASTIC! She kept us aware of how things were going and left our house exactly as it was when we left! I’d recommend her to anyone and will be using her again.”

“Megan is wonderful! She played with our dogs, took them for walks, fed them, and sent us a bunch of pictures. We are VERY HAPPY with her care and will use her again to take care of our two dogs. Thank you SO MUCH, Megan!!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have over 5 years of experience caring for them. I’m confident with all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, or just a cuddle buddy while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I’m also comfortable with feeding routines, crate training, and keeping them safe, happy, and loved at all times. I’m a local property manager, just minutes from home, so I can drop in during lunch breaks, after work, and on weekends. I take my own dog to the park every evening for about two hours so he can play and socialize—your pup can join the fun if you’d like! I’m fully available after noon on Fridays and completely free on weekends for boarding, walks, or drop-ins. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. I care for every dog as if they’re my own. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I always take dogs out on leash for potty breaks and walks. Inside my home, pets have a safe, clean, and calm space to relax and feel comfortable. I do have one puppy of my own—he’s super loving and playful, and I always make sure visiting dogs are comfortable and properly introduced. When caring for dogs in their own home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding routines, crate preferences, and walk schedules. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities.
“Jay went above and beyond caring for our pup while we were on vacation for a week. We’ve never left her in the care of someone that wasn’t friends or family before, but he made us feel so comfortable and our dog was so happy to be with him, which eased our minds greatly! I have previously worked at dog daycare/boarding facilities, on Wag!, on Rover and other pet care companies for the past decade, so I do have knowledge and high expectations when it comes to pet care and Jay exceeded them all. We have Furbo dog camera and it alerts me every time someone is in our home, our dog is playing, etc and he was always very timely and so very caring regarding our home and our dog. He also left the sweetest notes about what they did every morning and evening and sent us pictures of her every day. We will definitely look to Jay for every time we need someone to watch our dog moving forward! Thank you again so much!!!”

“Nico will always be my go-to when it comes to taking care of my senior doggie, Pen Pen. She’s always so caring and kind to my older gal. She knows how to read animals and Pen always feels really safe with her.”

“Mackenzie was a lifesaver for me!! I needed someone immediately and she communicated well and came right over and took care of business. My dogs were comfortable with her off the bat, and she gave them lots of attention and cuddles while I was away, and sent the cutest photos. I knew my pups were in kind and capable hands, and I would hire her again.”


About: I have over ten years of experience with taking care of animals. My experience ranges through ages, sizes, and species. I’m experienced in cats and dogs with varied disability levels. I currently work part time and have complete weekend availability to take care of your furry friends! I love routine, so they will definitely have that with me. I take care of my animals by listening to their boundaries and adjusting to their needs. Every animal has its own personality and needs, I’m willing to learn to adjust to each animal.
About: I’ve had over 5+ years of experience with a variety of furry friends. I have experience with cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, and some reptiles. I am very patient, caring and gentle making sure I set up all animals for success. I am currently a teacher and work eight hours. When I get off work, I would love to help your furry family members feel safe and taken care of while you are away or not able to. I will make sure that your pet has all the things they need as well as an environment that is inviting, fun, playful, and loving. I am happy to entertain them, play, and love on them for you!

About: I’ve cared for animals for as long as I can remember, and pets have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have my own dog, two cockatiel birds, and have previously owned two cats so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I also have past experience volunteering at Wayside Waifs, a large no kill animal shelter in the Kansas City area, where I volunteered for nearly 2 years. During my time there, I gained hands-on experience around dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and backgrounds. That experience helped me become more patient, attentive, and confident when caring for animals who may be shy, energetic, nervous, or still learning to trust new people. I have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic care, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I would love to care for your pet with the same kindness, patience, and attention that I give my own. My work schedule varies week to week, but I typically work daytime shifts as a barista and I am usually available after 6 PM for pet care services. I do my best to keep my availability updated so pet parents know exactly when I am available. I’m happy to help with evening walks, drop in visits, feeding, playtime, and giving your pet attention and care while you’re away. I’ll always communicate clearly about my schedule and make sure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always be my top priority. I will follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, crate needs, and any special routines your pet is used to. I’m attentive, patient, and careful with every pet I care for. I take safety seriously during visits, walks, and playtime. While I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll make sure they have fresh water, a clean and comfortable space, and plenty of love, patience, and attention while you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,345 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.
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 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 , 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.
