About: When I was in grad school, I worked at an animal shelter and learned so much about taking care of animals. I've had pets my entire life: dogs, cats, birds, Guinea pig, hamsters, and fish, and I've dealt with it all: from babies to seniors, medications and ointments, special diets, and a range of picky habits and funny quirks...I absolutely adore animals! I work from home and my schedule is flexible so I definitely have time during my day/evening to help you take care of your pet, and it would be a really fun thing for me to do with my time. I have been a public school teacher for a couple decades, passing all background checks with flying colors. I realize that your pet and home are precious to you, and I will treat them with care, respect, and attention to detail. I will care for your pet by following your instructions precisely and will keep you updated with messages and pictures.

“Colleen always goes above and beyond for Mowgli! She is sure to be on time and give plenty of pictures and videos. She is so sweet with Mowgli and was so patient with him while he was getting comfortable with her at first. Mowgli is very lucky to have someone like Colleen available on days when I am not able to let him out. It’s so nice to know he is in great hands :)”

About: Hi, my name is James Dalla C. I love pets and wish I could own a pup pf my own full-time. Unfortunately, I am currently in graduate school for sociology and do not have the time to take care of a pet full-time. Therefore, summer-time is the perfect time for me to interact with pets for people who need them taken care of (and taken care of with compassion and love). I am extremely active and love to go on long walks and spend hours in the park, which consists of exercise and playing when it comes to dog sitting. Furthermore, if you are in need of a dog sitter, look no further. I am here to help and would love to do so. :)

About: Hi there! My name is Maddie and I just moved to the Cleveland area from Oregon! I have been a pet sitter/dog walker for 12+ years.

“Janet was quick to make friends with my dog, and their walks together are quickly becoming an event my dog looks forward to. I am beyond pleased. So much so that we’ve booked the next month.”
About: I’m a dog mom to three rescues (a dachshund, pit mix, and Great Pyrenees/Shepherd mix) so I’m very comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve also volunteered at City Dogs for the past year, which has given me experience with dogs of all temperaments, including anxious and high energy pups. I previously cared for a senior rescue dog, so I understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attention they need. I’m also a nurse, which means I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and very attentive to safety and well-being. I also have a 14-year-old cat at home, so I’m comfortable caring for cats and understand their unique personalities, routines, and needs. I treat every dog like my own and focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine! I work part-time as a nurse four days a week and am typically home by around 2pm. This allows me to be available for afternoon walks, evening drop ins, and most weekends, plus I have one weekday fully open each week. For house sitting, the longest I’m away from your home is about 8 hours (including my commute), and I always prioritize making sure pets are comfortable, safe, and well cared for while I’m there. I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay in the environment they know and feel most comfortable in. I do my best to stick closely to their usual routines so everything feels familiar and low stress. I’m very mindful of safety, whether that’s being aware on walks, keeping doors and gates secure, or making sure pets are always supervised. I follow all care instructions carefully and treat your home and pets with the same respect I would my own. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing!!
About: Hello! I am so excited to get to know the lovely furry neighbors of my community! I have grown up my entire life around dogs and all types of animals. I currently have two family dogs myself I walk when I visit my childhood home, each with their own unique personality when it comes to walking, so I completely understand the key to a good walk is patience and awareness for the dogs energy. I started walking dogs from a very early age, so I have lots of experience. I promise your fur babies will have the greatest time and be in safe hands! Plus, I love taking as many photos as I can 💗 I currently work full-time but typically have mornings free, Wednesday’s and Sunday’s free. I always try and make time for dog walks and I’m very communicative about whether or not a walk time would work for me. In my home I have parks nearby and a nicely sized living room. At clients homes I’m always very respectful of the space and typically try to take the dog out for walks as much as possible if that’s their energy.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Cleveland is $20

**Five Stars! Exceptional Care for Gracie! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** Katie took wonderful care of my sweet Gracie while I was away for three very busy days of business meetings. Although my schedule didn't always allow me to respond to her thoughtful messages and photo updates, I can't express how reassuring it was to receive them. Seeing Gracie looking so happy, comfortable, and content gave me tremendous peace of mind and allowed me to focus on my work, knowing she was in excellent hands. When I returned home, Gracie was in wonderful spirits, and my home was just as clean, organized, and in order as I had left it. It was clear that Katie had taken exceptional care of both Gracie and my home. Katie is thoughtful, attentive, dependable, and genuinely caring. I'm so grateful for the love and attention she gave Gracie, and I wouldn't hesitate to trust her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their beloved pet like family!
Chloe came through super last minute for me to walk my dog! Very reliable, experienced, and stayed in contact with me the entire time! She also sent photos which I really appreciated. This was my first time using rover and my dog’s first babysitter! Thanks for making our experience so great! You are great at what you do!!! 🐶🫶🏻🩵
We just started working with Andria last week and have already had a great experience. She’s been very flexible with scheduling and does a wonderful job handling our husky mix, who tends to pull during walks. It’s clear she’s confident, attentive, and genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. We’re really happy to have found her and look forward to continuing!

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 walker.
