“We are so thankful to have found Rachel for a last minute booking to watch our 11-week old puppies! She arrived a few minutes before the early morning scheduled time and the puppies liked her immediately. She made sure to ask questions so she could provide the best care and she did. Thanks Rachel!”

“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.”

“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!”


“She was amazing. Our trip came at not the best time for our pets. We had just blended our families and our pets were still getting use to each other. She was able to help them become friends and learn to live with each other. She sent pictures every day and they were all very happy. I highly recommend her and will use her again”


“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!”

About: I have had pets my whole life up! I'm a full time mom with 3 kiddos (2 in school and 1 not in school cause shes a baby!) My 1 year old will be accompanying me to any potential jobs, so if you know your pet is not good with kids please let me know. She will have as little access as possible either way, she will most likely be in her stroller. My schedule is very open. Whatever work you're needing with your animals, please reach out. I would love to help in any way that I can. Animal care in my home will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Animal care in your home will be as requested by you. I typically could not do overnight care as I've got kiddos in school and will most likely have to travel a bit to help you with your animals, but on weekends or breaks I can consider it.
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.
About: HIIII! ♥️ My name is Libbey and animals have always been a huge part of my life. As a Pet Owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, dependable, and loving to care for your furry family members while you’re away. ♥️ I currently care for multiple pets of my own, including dogs, cats and even reptiles so I’m comfortable with a variety of personality sizes and care needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved and well cared for. 🥰 Your dog doesn’t like cats? No problem. I built my four cats a haven in one of our large rooms, where they can stay separate, away from your pup. The whole room has climbers, they love it and it’s hard to get them out of there if I need too during the day! 😂 I LOVE photography-so expect photoshoots and lots of photos, if your pup stays with us! 🥹♥️ I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to details. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I make sure to treat every pet as if they were my own. I don’t have many reviews for right now, because most of my clients I’ve met through different events, or dog parks, etc. I look forward to meeting you and treating your pets like they’re part of our furry family! 🐾 I am currently a stay at home pet mom already. I am able to give your pet the attention and love they need 24/7, round the clock. I care for my pets in my home by providing occasional separation breaks from each other in different rooms, entertainment with cat trees, and dog toys. I also provide the nutrition needed to raise healthy fur babies. I keep my reptiles enclosures clean and kept as well.
“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: Hello! My name is Andie, and I’m a cat lady, dog lover, bookworm, and traveler. I work as a freelance editor, so I can work from anywhere, and my schedule is very flexible. * As a big animal lover, I love the opportunity to make new furry friends. I currently have a cat (Luna), as well as having cats and dogs growing up. I’ve worked as a dog and cat sitter in Philadelphia and Kansas City for several years, and I also house/pet sit through Trusted Housesitters, a service that facilitates lodging around the world in exchange for house/pet sitting. * Through these experiences, I’m accustomed to working with a variety of types and personalities of cats and dogs, as well as caring for rescue and/or nervous pets. I’m calm and patient, diligent in following specific instructions, and committed to making sure your furry friends are healthy, comfortable, happy, and well loved even while you're away! I’m organized, reliable, and tidy, I’ll make sure your home and/or pet(s) get the respect and care they deserve so you can relax in knowing your home and beloved beasties are safe and well cared for! I’m also very communicative and am happy to provide updates and photos as frequently as you like (because there's no such thing as too many cute animal pics). My schedule is very flexible, so I can structure my days around your pet’s routine. I typically work from home during the day and sometimes run errands or go out in the afternoon/evening. I’m not usually out late or gone for more than a few hours at a time. I also love to be active, so I’m happy to walk/play with pets as much as needed. I try to maintain a routine and environment as close as possible to what pets are used to—feeding and walking at their usual times, etc. I love spending time with pets, whether that means taking a dog out on an exploration or cuddling up with a lap cat/dog, but overall I want pets to be comfortable, so I cater to each pet’s preferences and comfort levels.
“Jason is absolutely amazing, I felt so content leaving my doggos and farm animals (chickens/baby chicks/turkeys) in his care. He updated me multiple times throughout the day, very easy to communicate with, and you can tell he just truly cares for your animals. When we got home from vacation, the dogs were nice and calm - happy to see us - but I know they felt safe and enjoyed their time with Jason watching them. Thank you so much for all the effort and care you put into the animals!”

“Reese did an amazing job: first walking me through how to introduce her to my anxious big dog at our meet-n-greet and on the first day of the sit. She regularly sent a ton of pictures of my three pets throughout the weeklong stay, which increased my enjoyment of my time away. And even though she caught a really bad cold while sitting, she remained extremely communicative and committed to staying with my pets until the day I was due home, which I greatly appreciated. And I also appreciated her efforts to make sure my home was sanitized and cleaned before I returned.”

“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!”

“Ty was communicative and sent tons of pictures to put us at ease that our dogs were having a good time while we were away! We will definitely book with him again if available on future trips!”

“Sydney is the best! She’s so sweet and has been so easy to work with. My dog has anxiety around new people, so Sydney went out of her way to do multiple meets/ drop ins to let her get use to her before staying over night. She did everything we asked and made sure our dog was comfortable. We can’t wait to use her in the future!!”


“Kathryn is phenomenal. I have had her housesit for my 3 year old 10 pound toy poodle twice now. He suffers from separation anxiety and cannot be left alone for very long. The 2 times Kathryn has sat for me I was gone for long weekends. She stayed with him the entire time never leaving him alone. He absolutely adores her and is extremely comfortable with her. She is very loving and has no problems following the instructions I leave for her. I will only have her sit with him.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,398 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
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
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
