About: Hello! My name is Rebekah. I recently moved to the area and, while I can't have a dog of my own just yet, I would love to shower yours with affection, exercise, and care! I work full-time during the week, but I am incredibly flexible outside of office hours: Weekdays: Early Mornings (4:00 AM – 8:00 AM) & Evenings (4:30 PM – 12:00 AM) Weekends: Fully available anytime! Boarding: Open to discussion—just ask! My Experience: I’ve been pet-sitting and dog-walking since the 6th grade, giving me over a decade of hands-on experience. My background includes: Professional Care: Working at a professional dog kennel and daycare facility. Specialized Training: Volunteer Service Dog Trainer through 4 Paws for Ability. Rescue Work: Volunteer with Golden Retriever Rescue and Needy Dog Adoption. From high-energy pups to gentle seniors, and every breed in between, I’m ready to give your dog the best part of their day! Have a question or want to chat about boarding? Reach out! If I’m not the right fit or available, I’m happy to point you toward a resource or community contact who can help. Can't wait to meet your pup! Currently I am working part time but willing to make necessary changes to fit your schedule for your dog! Usually only 3 Days a week in the mornings but of course that can change to fit you and your pup as long as I’m given two weeks notice in advance. Currently I am not able to board any dogs but I know various parks and walking trails to take the dogs. My dog isn’t comfortable with other dogs currently just because she is so old.
“Melissa took care of my two cats for a week and did a wonderful job. She was communicative, sent photo updates, and it was a relief knowing she was caring so diligently for their needs!”
“Madi was just fabulous! She was consistent with visiting and taking care of my cat and worked with my apartment manager for apartment access. She communicated well and I appreciated her following up. I will definitely rebook!”
“Erin was wonderful! We have a recently diagnosed diabetic cat and have been anxious about leaving the house. Erin came and met our cat ahead of time to learn his needs and was very thorough to make sure that she could take care of our sweet boy. We felt confident in her ability to administer an insulin injection to our cat, and our two other skittish cats even came out for her! She sent plenty of photos of the babies, was prompt with her arrival, and actively communicated with us leading up to and during her visit. We will absolutely book with Erin again and will recommend her to friends and family.”
“Carla is awesome, coming to the rescue with a last-minute cat visit when I had to leave town suddenly and giving them and my house the best care and me, peace of mind. I genuinely appreciate her flexibility and sweetness, and we would welcome her back anytime for future travels!”
About: i’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes for several years now and always treat them as my own. your dog will feel right at home at my house with lots of room for play time and also lots of cozy places to snuggle! I work full time but am available intermittently through the week and on weekends for daytime and overnight care. We enjoy taking walks and exploring the city but also napping and relaxing when needed! I have a semi fenced in yard that is pretty spacious. Dogs are always leashed when taken out for safety purposes. Cleanliness is a top priority along with making sure your dog is happy and healthy.
About: I love dogs and have been around them most of my life. Most recently I was lucky enough to have my yorkie for over 17 years. During your dogs stay with me I will treat them as if they are my own- getting lots of attention, walks, play time, and cuddles. I am committed to making sure your dog is happy, safe and comfortable during their time with me! I currently work from home the majority of the week. I am free on weekends so I can give your pup lots of time and attention! Your dog will be treated like a member of my family during their stay! They will get walks in my dog friendly neighborhood (along with a dog friendly park across the street), and lots of couch snuggles during TV binges. They will get lots of play time and attention!
“Peyton was very sweet with my cat, Sugar. She followed my instructions for her care and made sure that Sugar was safe and sound before leaving. I would definitely trust Peyton to take care of Sugar again.”
About: Hi there! My name is Ireland, if you ever need someone to check in on your furry one during the day, I’d love to help. I’ve been the go‑to dog walker and pet‑check‑in person for neighbors for over 10 years, and caring for furry friends has genuinely become one of my favorite parts of life. I’m extremely reliable, consistent, and always treat every dog like they’re one of my own and trust me, mine set the bar high. I currently have two big, lovable goofballs at home: a Saint Bernedoodle and a Golden Doodle, both tipping the scales at over 100 pounds. So whether your pup is tiny, timid, energetic, or extra‑large, I’m fully prepared and experienced. If you’re looking for someone who shows up, pays attention, and makes your dog feel safe, happy, and loved, I’m your girl. Big dogs, small dogs, shy dogs, wild dogs - I walk them all like they’re my own. ❣️ I’m currently attending Cleveland State University’s Accelerated Nursing Program, and because the program is fully online, it gives me incredible flexibility throughout the day. I’m able to structure my coursework around your pet’s needs, which means I can reliably stop in for walks, check‑ins, feedings, or whatever support your family needs. Caring for animals fits naturally into my daily routine, and I love having that balance of studying and spending time with your furry one. When I’m caring for a pet whether in my home or yours my approach is simple: treat them like family and keep their routine steady, safe, and stress‑free. • Routine consistency - I follow your pet’s normal schedule for meals, walks, potty breaks, and playtime so everything feels familiar and comforting. • Detailed communication - You’ll get updates, photos, and notes so you always know how your furry one is doing. • Respect for your space - I keep your home tidy, follow all house rules, and make sure your pet’s environment stays clean and safe. • Behavior + comfort check‑ins - I pay attention to mood, appetite, energy, and any changes so you’re always in the loop. • Experience with large breeds I currently own two gentle giants a Saint Bernedoodle and a Goldendoodle, both over 100 lbs so I’m very comfortable managing big personalities and big paws. • Play, enrichment, and affection - Walks, mental stimulation, cuddles, and attention are all part of the package. • Cleanliness + comfort - Fresh water, clean bowls, cozy rest spots, and a calm environment are always maintained. Why You Can Trust Me: • 10+ years of experience caring for neighbors’ pets • Extremely reliable. I show up, communicate, and follow through. • Comfortable with all sizes — from tiny pups to 100+ lb doodles. • Genuine love for animals — I treat every pet like it’s my own.
About: Hi! I'm excited to offer dependable, loving pet care through Rover. As a lifelong animal lover and dog owner myself, I understand that pets are family, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently have my own pup, Charlie, who has taught me firsthand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and plenty of love and attention. Caring for Charlie has given me daily experience with walks, playtime, routines, and understanding the unique personalities that make every dog special. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, simply some extra attention while you're away, my goal is to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide personalized care that keeps them happy and stress-free. Services may include walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, administering medications if needed, potty breaks, belly rubs, and plenty of companionship. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your home and your pets. I respect your space, follow instructions carefully, and work hard to maintain your pet's normal routine while you're away. Whether your dog loves long walks, your cat prefers quiet companionship, or your pet simply needs a familiar face during the day, I'm committed to providing reliable and attentive care. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and building a lasting relationship based on trust, communication, and exceptional care. I work full time during the week, so pet care fits best into my evenings and weekends. I’m available for walks after work and have more flexibility on weekends for extra time with pets. I will follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, and I make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I’m attentive to their needs, keep their space clean and make sure they feel secure while their owners are away.
“James was so amazing with our 2 dogs! We had a pet emergency and he was able to pick them up last minute and watch them while we were away. His wife is also so sweet and caring! Would highly recommend him!”
About: I’ve always had a dog, outside of a brief stint in college, and had care responsibilities from an early age. I have taken a dog CPR course. I currently own 2 large boxer mixes named Ben Franklin and Aretha Franklin! They are my buddies and I just live all dogs! Looking forward to helping care for yours! I work from home for myself and have an adaptable schedule, so I can generally work around pet care client needs. I’m open to working with clients to schedule at their convenience. In your home, your rules apply. I can keep pets company, feed them, let them out, have some play time , etc. If there’s anything specific you need, please request and I’ll try to accommodate reasonable requests.
About: I have taken care of multiple personal pets since about 13 years old, including a golden doodle, a Havanese (who was a senior dog with many medication needs) a Husky named Juneau and most recently a kitten named Ollie that I rescued from the APL. I frequently pet sit for family, friends and neighbors. My camera roll is filled with dog pics so you can expect pictures and videos during the walk. I have loved animals of all kind since I was young. I’m extremely organized, reliable and passionate and would love to make some new pet friends and keep myself active at the same time! I am currently only available on weekends at this time but may be able to make exceptions if needed and if it fits both of our schedules. I live in an apartment which helps prevent escape artists that like to bolt out of the front door. At your home or on walks, I would make sure to follow all of your instructions to make sure me and your fur baby have a great time!
“Amanda is amazing and sweet. She helps us so much with our puppy, giving us a little break to do house things or giving him a walk when we're away. Makkachin always loves seeing her each time. 7/5 stars.”
“Katherine was great as always! She recently helped me out when my dog was having some tummy issues and had an accident in his cage. She made me aware and helped clean up the kennel and gathered the blankets and then spent a bit of extra time with him outside before heading out! Presley (my pup) and I appreciate her greatly 😊”
“Shandra is the absolute best! Traveling and leaving pets alone can be stressful; Shandra puts my mind at ease whenever I have to leave my cat for a few days. She is the most caring and nuanced cat sitter out there. I would highly recommend Shandra for your pet sitting needs! Thank you Shandra as always! 😺”
About: I’ve taken care of cats for as long as I can remember. I’ve helped take care of two very special corgis as well as my roommates bunnies. I’m referred to as the buncle (bunny uncle) when they’re left in my care I usually work mornings but that could change depending on the week, leaving my afternoons free. I will work with you, I’m pretty flexible and work something out that fits your fur babies needs ❤️ My cats are indoor. I have an apartment, it’s a duplex, on the top floor. If your cats don’t like other cats? No problem, they won’t interact. I cater to your cats needs so that way they feel safe and happy.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cleveland
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!
Chelsea was wonderful, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again! She was so accommodating with all of our requests for our 3-month-old puppy. Since it was our first time leaving our pup with someone else, we were a little nervous, but Chelsea made the whole experience reassuring and stress-free.
Sprout took care of my dogs while I visited the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and she was fantastic! She’s sweet, reliable, a great communicator, and made the whole experience easy. Most importantly, my dogs were happy and relaxed when I got back. Highly recommend!

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.

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 .

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.

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.
