“Wow, I can't say enough great things about Jessica. Jessica absolutely saved the day while we were traveling abroad and had last-minute issues with another sitter. We were really worried about our pets and Jessica was able to check in immediately on our two cats to make sure everything was okay. Knowing she was there to take care of our two fur babies gave us great peace of mind while traveling and we'll definitely be reaching out again in the future for her help. :)”
“Shandra was fantastic. She did a wonderful job checking on our cats for us and giving nice updates. It’s the best Rover experience that we have had. We plan to work with Shandra next time we’re out of town.”
“Maddie was wonderful with Roxy! Roxy can be a little hesitant with meeting new people, but she warmed right up to Maddie. She did everything we requested and we loved the photos!”
“Alexis cared for my cats while I was out of town. One is particularly shy and nervous, and she came out with Alexis which I think says something! She was communicative and easy to plan with!”
“When I say she goes above and beyond for your fur baby, I’m even underselling her. Arianna went above and beyond for my newly adopted 14 yr old cat, she did drop in visits for me over the weekend of July 4th. She was so attentive, so patient and so kind. She definitely helped Goldie feel so much better after a loud July 4th. Thank you Ariana!!!”
“Joe was amazing and did a great job with our fur babies. We wanted to find someone that would love our dogs and also we felt comfortable around our 100+ pound Alaskan Malamute and our Huskies (plus their endless amount of fur!). They all loved spending time with Joe and he took lots of great pictures. He was on time and made sure to update us constantly. We would absolutely recommend him and will be calling him for moments we need someone to drop in on them.”
“Julia was fantastic! She was kind, compassionate, and caring towards my kitties and she followed my instructions perfectly (since I have a cat that needs medication). She helped ease my anxiety, gave me updated pictures daily, and was quick to respond if I had any comments or questions. I will absolutely be using her services in the future!”
“Lexie was fantastic with daily check ins for my sweet cat while we were away for almost two weeks. She gave her a lot of loves, playtime, and special treats, sending me lots of pics each time so I got to stay updated on her happenings. I’ll definitely rebook in the future and highly recommend!”
“Tyler was fantastic and we wood definitely book with him again! We appreciated the chance to speak with him through a pre-visit and introduce him to our pets. He was very communicative with us, and took great care to spend quality time with our pets during each visit. His photos brought smiles to our faces and allowed us to relax, knowing that our pets were receiving excellent care.”
“Jules was amazing! We had several weeks out of town and were hesitant to board our cat for the time frame. Jules was easy to communicate with, flexible with scheduling times, and left great reports/photos that were fun to read when we were missing our Tabby. She also was kind enough to let Tabby enjoy some time outside when able (her favorite thing), and even bring in some packages that were delivered while we were gone. We felt very secure and were able to enjoy our time away knowing our home and pet were so well taken care of, I can't recommend her enough.”
“Maureen is wonderful! Communicative and friendly, she took great care of our girls while we were out of town. Writes adorable updates for them too which was very appreciated.”
“Sophia is so sweet! She’s helped look after my cats during a few extended work trips and was happy to help when they needed medicine or special instructions. Now whenever I’m planning to be away, booking Sophia has become routine. The cats are typically shy but they sure like her and she goes above/beyond every time.”
“Serafina was kind and thoughtful through the whole process of booking and watching Sugar. I could trust her with my new puppy and felt informed through the whole process.”
About: I have been around cats and dogs my entire life. I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was 17. I am a huge animal lover and will treat your babies like they are my own. I have had experience for 10 years growing up with pets. When I was in high school I volunteered at my local animal shelter. I am currently a server at a restaurant. My work day does not start until 2pm at the earliest during the week. I am available in the morning for walks or drop in visits. I can even stop by after work if need be. I am a very communicative person and would ensure that any concerns you may have will be answered. I love takings photos and would be more than happy to send cute update photos of your pet throughout the day. I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own. Your house will be treated with the upmost respect while I am there.
“Octavia took great care of our pups! Our one dog, Frankie, is very reactive to strangers and a hard sell and she warmed up to her so well! She took the time to make sure Frankie felt safe and comfortable! Both dogs were very happy to have her there! We can’t wait to hire her again!”

Allyson took wonderful care of my puppy and was reliable, attentive, and communicative throughout each visit. I really appreciated the thoughtful check-ins and updates, and she made sure my puppy got plenty of playtime, attention, and care. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in great hands while I was away. Would absolutely recommend!
We absolutely love Caio — he is truly amazing! This is our second time booking him to care for our two dogs and two cats, and once again he exceeded every expectation. He is so incredibly gentle and attentive with our babies, and you can tell he genuinely loves the animals in his care. Our girl is completely smitten with him, which says everything! His profile says "certified belly rubber" and we can 100% confirm that title is well earned! We couldn't be more grateful for his kindness and the peace of mind he gives us while we're away. We will absolutely keep booking Caio and recommend him without hesitation! 🐾
Genevieve was FABULOUS! I was in town for work and needed someone able to be with my service dog at the Rocket Arena for multiple hours in a row twice a day ... and on very short notice. She was everything I requested and much more. It was obvious that she loves dogs, and we even found quite a lot in common between us. I HIGHLY recommend Genevieve for people who want someone to care as much for their dog(s) as they do themselves. 5 stars; highly recommend!
Jamie was reliable, communicative, and made sure my pup was happy, safe, and well cared for. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos—it gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog clearly loved spending time with her, and I could tell she treated her like their own. I would definitely book with Jamie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Cleveland stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Cleveland with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 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.
