“Amazing sitter!! I could tell just by the photos that our dog was well taken care of and had a blast with Kaitlyn! She even straightened up our couch pillows and blankets and brought in our Amazon package.”
“Nathan came through at the last minute for us…. Everything has been great. Nathan has kept me updated on how my dog Bear did outside the normal report. I’m very happy with the job Nathan is doing and hope he stays with us.”
“One of our pups is very anxious around new people and Rachel has been so great with her. She lets her take her time to warm up to her and it has been such a relief to have someone we can rely on to take such good care of them.”
About: Hello! My name is Michael, and animals have been a central passion of mine throughout my life. As someone with autism, people are less my forte, but caring and interacting with animals has always come naturally to me. I grew up in a household where everyone was allergic to dander except me, so I got my animal fix by pet-sitting for friends and neighbors—both dogs and cats. I’m used to housesitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I also have some higher education with veterinary assisting, which has come in handy with the animals under my care. I was only able to adopt my cat from a shelter a few years ago, but I am no stranger to all sorts of animals (reptiles, birds, small mammals all included—I have experience with caring for all wide variety of creatures!), all with a wide range of personalities. Every pet is different, and I take care to adapt to each individual’s needs. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ I am in the process of applying for disability, during which time I am otherwise available outside of my appointments during the week. Tuesdays are typically my busiest days. I am most available on the weekends, where my days are completely free to devote to your pet(s)! I do not board at my residence, as my cat is an anxious fluffball. However, when it comes to client homes, I like to make sure that your pet’s routine is as familiar as when their pet parent is home. I work to make sure that although their people might be temporarily absent, it is a positive experience and not a devastating waiting period; every animal deserves to be treated with as much attention and care as they need, the more the better. Any particular treats they enjoy, toys, playtime, places to visit on outings, specific times for feedings—all are great information for me to give your pet the experience they deserve.
“Alex was absolutely amazing!! She took time to get to know our pup. She was responsive and gave great details for her visits with him. He warmed up to her from the pictures she sent. Very happy with her level of professionalism and we will definitely be asking her to look after him again. Thank you Alex!!!”
“Really appreciated Hannah being available for a drop-in visit on short notice. She did a fantastic job of leaving feedback and taking a few pictures! Can't wait to have Hannah for an overnight visit next.”
“Elisha was phenomenal in taking care of my baby. She sent updates, pictures, and action shots. I was never nervous about him the whole week I was gone. She was that great at updating. This is the first time I have let a stranger watch my dog so I was extremely nervous leaving, but her updates put my mind at ease. We did a meet and greet/run through of care before I left. Booster (my dog) interviewed her and gave the signal she would be a good fit to care for him. She followed instructions well and gave exceptional care. I couldn’t recommend her more!!”

About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for and training animals of all sizes, from small breeds to large dogs. Growing up with pets my whole life has given me extensive hands-on experience with feeding, walking, bathing, administering basic care, and understanding different animal personalities and behaviors. I have also volunteered at numerous animal shelters, where I gained experience working with animals of varying temperaments and needs. In addition to caring for family pets and my own friendly dog, I am comfortable handling energetic, shy, senior, and high-maintenance animals. I prioritize creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while ensuring every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Pet care fits very naturally into my current routine because although I am a full-time college student, I have a flexible schedule and a lot of free time throughout the week. My schedule allows me to dedicate consistent time to walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets the attention and care they need. Since I already maintain an active lifestyle and care for my own dog, incorporating additional pet care responsibilities is something I genuinely enjoy and can easily prioritize. I am organized, dependable, and able to balance school while still being fully attentive and responsive to each pet’s needs. Creating a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment for every pet is my top priority. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident leaving their animals in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I always ensure pets are supervised, secure, and cared for with patience and attention to their individual needs and routines. With years of experience handling animals of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, I am comfortable adapting to each pet to help them feel safe and stress-free. I also maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment while providing plenty of affection, exercise, and consistent care so both pets and owners can feel completely at ease.
About: As a dedicated pet sitter and walker, I bring a lifelong passion for animal care to every furry friend I meet. With a wealth of experience across all life stages, I understand the diverse needs of pets, from energetic pups to gentle seniors. My commitment to their happiness and well-being means that each dog receives tailored attention and love, ensuring they feel safe, cherished, and joyful while they’re in my care. Pet sitting and walking fit seamlessly into my daily routine because I already own a mobile business and am frequently out and about. This flexibility allows me to easily integrate pet care into my schedule, ensuring that I can provide attentive and timely service for your pets. My established routine means I can offer reliable and convenient care while managing my other commitments effectively. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their routine and comfort. I follow the established feeding, exercise, and medication schedules, ensuring consistency with their normal environment. I also focus on providing companionship and attention to keep them happy and relaxed. I make sure to respect the client's home, following any specific instructions and leaving the space clean and tidy. Regular updates and photos are provided to keep pet owners informed and reassured about their pets' well-being.

About: Hey! I’m Alissa, and I’ve spent over 4 years loving on animals through doggy daycares, a humane society, and now as a vet assistant. I’ve worked with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities— from bouncy puppies to sweet senior pets who just need a little extra TLC. I’m especially experienced with older pets and those with medical needs, and I always take a gentle, low-stress approach to make sure they feel safe and comfy. Got a shy or nervous pup? No worries—I’m super patient and all about building trust at their pace. I also enjoy helping young dogs learn the basics (like sit, stay, shake, and lie down), and I can even trim nails for those who are chill with it! Whether your pet is playful, sensitive, or somewhere in between, I treat every animal like my own and do my best to keep them happy while you're away. I currently work at an animal hospital 4 days a week (Mon, Wed, Thurs, Fri, and alternating weekends) until around 5:30 PM. ✅ Available: Tuesday – Open availability Evenings after 7:00 PM-9:00 PM on workdays Midday weekends – typically free between morning/evening shifts Let me know your pet's routine, and I’ll do my best to fit them in with the care they deserve!

I take the time to get to know your pet’s unique quirks, routines, and favorites so they feel totally at ease with me. I stick closely to your instructions, whether it’s feeding schedules, meds, walk times, or just knowing which toy is the real favorite. For seniors, shy pets, or those with anxiety, I use a calm approach and let them take the lead so they feel safe and respected. I’m totally cool with alarms, crates, and all the little home details, and I always treat your space with care. You’ll get regular updates and cute photos from me so you know everything’s going great. I hope to make every animal feel relaxed, happy, and most of all loved.
About: I have cared many pets; I’ve grown up around dogs in cats my whole life. Other than that, I’ve had fish, turtles, and bearded dragons. I’ve house sitted for many family members and am very cautious and respectful towards the care for pets. I treat pets as if they’re humans because they are apart of us and deserve that respect. I’ve been around animals of all sizes and breeds. I currently have a 12 year old Female Havanese Dog that has been apart of my life since I was 8 years old. I’ve done drop ins and house sitting many times in the last several years for family and some of their friends. I hope you’ll consider me as I will care for your pets like they’re my own.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, and turkeys, which gave me hands-on experience with animals of all kinds from a young age. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, gaining experience with everything from puppy potty and crate training to feeding, walking, bathing, administering basic care, and providing lots of love and attention. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of time within my days to love and care for your fur babies while your're unable to! I have a fenced yard with lots of other friendly dogs that are always eager to have another playmate! Between crate training, potty training, or walks with your pup I am able and willing to do it all!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cleveland is $29 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $33 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 2,367 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
