About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends for many years. I love to play with the kitties, go on walks with the pups and just generally hang out with your furry friends! I work about 30 hours a week in food service, usually between 8am-5pm. My job is close to my house so I don’t have much of a commute either. So I have ample time to check in/hang out/go on walks with any of your furry friends! I am clean, tidy and will leave it how I found it! I like my own environment to be neat as well. Cat toys on the floor are fine tho!
“We’ve booked with Melissa multiple times now for home drop-in visits when we’re out of town and she always does a great job! We trust her to take good care of our pets & definitely recommend her services :)”
“James was fantastic with our cats. He had thoughtful questions prior to us being away, and was really communicative during our time away. He went above and beyond when we had a sensor issue with our Simplisafe alarm system.”
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!
About: I will make sure to give all of my attention and love towards your dogs and keep them good company. I am very responsible with taking care of dogs and will make sure they get the exercise they need if that is what I am asked to do. I will even just watch them while you are gone and keep them company. I will do anything they need and make sure they are okay. I can't wait to meet all of the wonderful furry friends I will get to meet. This is my full time job at the moment so I have a lot of availability to care for your dogs and cats and dedicate my time. I care for pets and others homes. I have lots of experience going and doing pet care and other people’s homes. I’m very respectful of others houses.
“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: I’ve taken care of dogs since i was a little girl, they’re an important part of my life. Every dog that visits will receive a bath if requested! Very good with senior pups! I have a very flexible work, as well as my husbands schedule so always there to do potty breaks and just give some love and attention! I have one dog right now, he’s a 6 year old lab. He’s pretty chill, likes to play & would love to have a buddy to play with!
About: I have been house and petsitting for friends, family, and clients for over 15 years. I value stimulation as well as emotional support for all people and animals. I have a lot of energy and will probably out run or play any of your pets! I am a pre-med student and will be house and pet-sitting for extra income. I am going to school in the Cleveland area and am available for walks/potty breaks in-between my classes. I treat all pets as the family-members they are. I have been trusted to house and pet sit for a variety of clients over the years, and I believe quality speaks for itself. I am very respectful of all homes (including my own) and understand that pet-sitting is more than just pouring food and water. Stimulation, exercise, and companionship is an essential need for every living organism.
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.
“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'm great with dogs and cats. I'm not afraid to administer meds to seniors. I provide a loving home to my 2 cats and small dog I'm currently self-employed part-time and can be flexible. I have two cats and one dog. Happy to try to work around your schedule as needed. I provide a safe and loving environment to my pets. I can administer meds as needed. I prefer to sit in your home as needed.
About: I’ve taken care of pets of all types for over 10 years! I understand it is a huge act of trust to hire a pet-sitter, and I’m determined to do everything possible to put your mind at ease! I’m available for weekdays and weekends! I’m off work for the next two months, meaning I have plenty of time to care for your pet :) I am happy to come to your space and work with your pet’s specific needs! I provide walks, feedings, play time, cuddles on the couch, or a quick drive-by to build trust.
“Shandra is an absolute pro. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs. I have one cat in particular who has special needs including medication and Shandra doesn’t miss a beat. She is attentive and inquired about routines or if she thinks something is amiss. I always look forward to her check-ins and they are always thorough with pictures! After having a nightmare Rover experience, I do not take these things for granted! Not all sitters are like Shandra! I feel so fortunate to have Shandra for my babies!”
“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!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 16, giving me nearly a decade of experience with dogs and cats of all personalities. I’m attentive, responsible, and committed to keeping your pets happy and comfortable while you’re away. I work a hybrid schedule with two days in the office and three days at home, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. On my home days, I’m available for regular visits, drop‑ins, and longer stays. On office days, I can still provide morning, evening, and lunchtime check‑ins. My routine is consistent and predictable, so pets get reliable care and attention throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and stress‑free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, refresh water, clean litter boxes, and provide plenty of playtime, affection, and calm companionship. I make sure the home stays tidy, lights and doors are secure, and pets get the attention they’re used to. Whether it’s quick drop‑ins or longer stays, I keep communication clear with updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, and small animals. I do have some basic experience with training. I am very comfortable with giving medication as well. I work in the hospital setting 3-4 days a week, but I have a lot of flexibility before and after shifts and on my days off! I will cater to your furry friend's needs. I will treat your animal like my own, and make sure that they get all of the love in the world. I have a flexible schedule and I will personalize their care.
About: Growing up with a variety of pets has really helped deepen my love for animals. I grew up a family of German shepherds, I’ve had snakes, ferrets, cats, even a hedgehog! All my friends and family have relied on me for watching over there furry friends. I am a newly post grad from Kent state and just recently moved to Cleveland. I work as a bartender and my shifts are usually at night up to 8 hours and I always make sure my apartment is set up to assure any pet I am watching is comfortable while I am gone. I also love to go on walks and would love to be accompanied by your pet! Most of my shifts are at night usually starting around 4 and ending around 12 so I always make sure to take any pet I am watching on a long walk before leaving and spending as much time with them in the mornings! I also always try to get off my shift as early as possible while I have a current pet over! I like to treat any pet as my own no matter the size, personality, or behavior. Not only is rover beneficial to you but to me as well for allowing me to spend time with your furry friend!
About: Hi! I have about 2 years of personal experience walking dogs for family friends. I like to believe I have a special bond with animals, and will treat them with nothing but love and care. There’s not much about me other than I’m young and full of energy! I’m recently graduated from Case Western Reserve University and have just started a full-time job. It can be kind of lonely living alone so what better way to get some company than to spend time with animals! I have experience walking, playing, sitting, feeding dogs, and overnight care. I’m open to sitting cats as well, I just don’t have as much experience with them. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have, and we can work something out together! I’m currently working full-time at a mainly remote job, so I have plenty of time to spend at my home to take care of all of the necessary needs your pet may have. I have a large yard great for potty breaks and playing fetch. I’m also in a great neighborhood for walking. Keeping an eye on your pet at all times is my number one priority.

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!

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 .

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.

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.
