About: I currently have two dogs, an Australian Shepard and a Border Collie, and have cared for other dogs in the past! Whether that was taking them on walks, light grooming, letting then outside for bathroom breaks, feeding, giving some much needed love, or anything in between. I truly believe that dogs need time to burn some of their energy and get exercise through the day. So, by going on walks and having play time outside is a perfect outlet for this, and something I genuinely enjoy doing! I love spending time with them and being able to build a bond with them. For me, working with dogs never feels like a job, but more of a great opportunity to have fun with my favorite animals! Recently moved and I am working from home so I would love to have a furry companion throughout the day or to visit and play with your pets! I have an apartment that is pet friendly and there are great places to walk and awesome dog parks around the area. I am constantly taking cute pictures of the fur babies and I love sharing them.
About: I grew up with dogs and love to be around them! I feel totally comfortable around them and am happy to provide them with any needs and attention they require while you’re away! I work a hybrid job so I am in and out of the office depending on the day. I am free for lunchtime visits and before and after work on weekdays. I can be pretty flexible if needed. While you’re away I’ll do my best to keep your pets routine as normal as possible for them and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for!
“Chloe was easy to communicate with and shared lots of love with my cats. Likewise, living downtown is tricky to work out parking and she was more than willing to work around that. She also has unbeatable rates, tip her well!”
“Ann was an absolute rockstar with our last minute holiday booking. She responded very quickly to our messages and gave me peace of mind while being away from my girls. She had great patience with my anxious dog after a big move and worked with her to help her adjust. Will definitely book again! :)”
“Victoria was very thorough when visiting my very shy cat, Toby! She followed all instructions and left me a detailed note about it. Made me feel so much better knowing my old guy had someone to check in on him. Thank you!”
“Jackie was awesome! Friendly when we met her, and did a great job with our cat Shadow! Always nice to not have to worry about your pet when you travel. We would highly record her!”
“Sydney & James were so awesome with my dog! They sent great pictures and updates. It was such a relief going out of town knowing that he was in good hands!”
“I cannot say enough amazing things about Caio as a cat sitter. From the very beginning, Caio was incredibly kind, reliable, and attentive, which immediately gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet, especially when your cat is such an important part of your life, but Caio treated my cat like his own. He took the time to understand my cat’s routine, personality, and little quirks, and it really showed in the level of care he provided. I received updates and photos that reassured me everything was going great, and it was obvious my cat felt comfortable and relaxed around him. When I came home, everything was spotless and my cat was happy, calm, and clearly very well cared for. What really stood out was how thoughtful and responsible Caio was throughout the entire experience. He didn’t just “check in” on my cat—he genuinely cared about her well-being and made sure she had attention, affection, and proper care every day. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly excellent with animals, I wholeheartedly recommend Caio. Knowing he was there taking care of my cat made all the difference, and I would absolutely trust him again without hesitation and have and booked him way in advance. This reassures I have him and his time for when I need him. Thank you !”
“Sam was great! My cat can be a little fiesty and Sam was very patient with her and gained her trust. Her rover cards were always detailed and had plenty of pictures that made me feel so much better about leaving my fur baby for the weekend. 10/10 would recommend booking with Sam!”
“I would definitely rebook Faith in a heartbeat! We took in a feral cat quite literally a few days before we left out of town and she was incredible. She was so gracious and offered to meet us in person prior to us leaving for the holiday so she knew where everything was and knew the lay of the land. She filled out the Rover cards, took pictures of our girl, and kept us posted along the way. I felt at ease knowing that Faith was going to be dropping in on our skittish new kitty.”
“Issac was great walking and checking in on Loubie. He was dependable, attentive, and clearly cared about her well-being. Communication was great, and I felt confident she was well taken care of.”
“She did a great job and was so thoughtful with both my pets and my home. She did well with my anxious kitty which I really appreciated. Will be booking her again and would highly recommend her!”
About: Labs have been in my life since I was born, but I got my kitten at age 6, so I'll say that's when my real pet care experience began! Animals are such a significant part of my life that I got my bachelor's degree in zoology. I've practiced dairy goat husbandry, studied monkeys in the Surinamese rainforest, and worked as an animal keeper at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. Not only do I understand how to care for animals, but I'm a truly playful and active person. There's nothing better than romping around outside with a pup and wearing one another out! That being said, I helped care for my family dog Farrah in her senior years and during that time we shared some of the most tender and mellow moments. If my admiration of pets isn't yet clear, I also paint pet portraits and you can see some in my profile photos. I’m a morning person, up with the sun, so early walks and check-ins are no problem! I also have a hybrid work schedule, which supports my flexibility around pet care. Pets are family members and the magnitude of trust put towards a petsitter is not something I take for granted. I care deeply about helping my clients feel at ease when I'm caring for their beloved pets. I'm meticulous and detail-oriented in everything I do, and that translates to following pet care directions and routines to a T. I'm open to talking through all of your needs and concerns to help make the experience excellent for all involved.
“Susana was great! We have a very elderly dog with a lot of issues and Susana did not hesitate to accept the booking and did a great job. She communicated well and problem solved when our pup was having some issues. Thank you for caring for Mitsi!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was young and love taking dogs for walks, being affectionate with cats, and also meet your pet at their level and their energy! I work part-time as an in-home tech consultant, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m available for mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnight! I’m also available for extended sittings if needed (: I will always communicate and make sure I’m meeting your pet’s needs. I love sharing their activities with them (staring out the window, playing on the ground, talking to each other) and am always looking out for their comfort and safety (:
About: From a young age, I have always had a pet. I love animals and look forward to taking care of your special pet/s :) I have experience with all ages and tailor my care depending on their individual needs. I am responsible, punctual, and detail-oriented. I am currently a first year law student at Cleveland State, so I have a lot of flexibility with my school schedule. Mondays I have class from 1:00-2:40 pm, Tuesdays & Thursdays from 10:00am-11:15am & 1:00-2:40 pm, and Wednesdays from 10:00-11:45am & 1:00-2:40pm. UPDATE: during the summer I work full time from 8-4:45. My boyfriend and I keep our apartment spotless so your dog/cat would be safe from any foods that may cause them harm! I also love going on walks or cuddling with your pet on the couch.
About: I’ve had multiple cats and dogs growing up! My animals are one of my top priorities. In the past I would stay in homes of families who were in need of a pet sitter. I did this for multiple years before I began to work at a pet store. During this time, I continued to board puppies for multiple weeks at a time. I have flexible availability throughout the weekday. I am open to work around an owners schedule for what best suits their availability as well. I am open for last minute inquires, if needed. I have two bunnies and two cats! It works best for me to come to you and your pet. I am able to come by your home/apartment or even take your animal to the park, if requesting.
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Cleveland is $20
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Cleveland
Sam was quick to answer my Rover request, and very responsive to a few questions. She was extremely good with the cats. My skittish cat lazily opened one eye to see who was there then returned to sleeping. Strangers usually have her sprinting for under the bed. Highly recommended, would book again.
Victoria was great! I did a meet and great with her before I left on vacation and she immediately put me at ease. She is very personable and professional when it comes to cat sitting. She sent me pictures and updates everyday she stopped by. I highly recommend her.
Jackie is amazing! She takes such great care of my cats, spends extra time with them, sends lots of photos and updates, and even brings in my packages while I’m away. I always have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in such caring hands. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Sydney and James were fantastic! We couldn’t have asked for better! They took such great care of our Teddy, and really took our worries away with traveling. Above and beyond service, they definitely treated our little guy like their own. Will definitely be contacting them again!
Torrey was the best! We have to keep our kitties separated and she was very understanding of that and made us feel comfortable while on vacation. We got lots of photos (which we loved!) and she was very quick to respond/ communicate. This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely try to book Torrey the next time it is needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Cleveland on Rover is $18.19 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,186 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Cleveland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cleveland. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
