About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets are family, and I strive to provide the same level of care, attention, and patience that I would want for my own. My background in healthcare has taught me how to be responsible, detail-oriented, and attentive to the unique needs of every individual, skills that translate naturally to pet care. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need patience and consistency to senior dogs who may require a gentler pace and extra attention. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, administering oral medications, reinforcing basic training, or simply providing companionship, I prioritize your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness. I am currently a Master's student in Medical Physiology at Case Western Reserve University, which has helped me develop strong time-management, responsibility, and organizational skills. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals as a balance to my studies. Despite a busy academic schedule, I am very intentional about managing my time and maintaining commitments. Whether it's morning walks, midday drop-in visits, evening care, or weekend sitting, I enjoy incorporating pet care into my routine because it allows me to spend time outdoors and connect with animals while helping pet owners have peace of mind. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet with patience, attentiveness, and compassion. As someone pursuing a career in healthcare, I value reliability, clear communication, and attention to detail, and I bring those same qualities to caring for your furry family members. I am committed to ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any specific preferences or needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and mental stimulation while also keeping their environment clean and safe. If providing care in my own home, I would ensure pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, fresh water, and opportunities for play and rest. My goal is always to make pets feel as relaxed and loved as possible, whether they are in their own home or mine.

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!

Molly and Caroline took great care of our cats when we were busy in the middle of a move and when we were away on a short trip. They were great with the cats and very nice. The cats loved them and enjoyed hanging out with them. We wholeheartedly recommend Molly and Caroline to anyone looking for a sitter for their fur babies.

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!

About: I was raised in a house with chickens, parrots, snakes, frogs and of course dogs and cats! I feel comfortable around any kind of dog or cat, no matter how shy or excitable. Any age group I am adept at handling as well, as I have a lot of experience caring for young animals I am free most days of the week. Thursday’s, Friday’s, and weekends are all wide open. My schedule is very flexible, just let me know! I can crate or walk your dog, and have no trouble cleaning up after or feeding a dog as well. I am great at playing with dogs, and making them listen to me.

Ann and Kyle were amazing. They spent extra time with our senior dogs and took wonderful care of them! Other than checking on the camera to see what the dogs were doing, we never worried about them because Ann and Kyle were keeping us updated. We would definitely use their services again. We highly recommend them!

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 !

About: I have two lovely rescues who have 10/10 energy four times a day and I take them to the park once a day for a nice round of zoomies and catch. On rainy days I sometimes go still go if the rain is not too bad (mud is not my friend) I have taken dog training courses to help my dogs adjust to city life and it has been fantastic so far. High energy dogs are welcome with me! I’m currently working from home and I speed walk and run at 7am-9am 12pm-2pm 4pm-6pm 8pm-10pm. If your dog needs a morning run, they can definitely join my pack! I live in a city my entire life and have walked friends dogs so I understand how important it is to get many walks and to get them out of the building ASAP. I have a high sense of urgency and I make sure that my pack is ready for a big NAP during the day!

About: I grew up taking care of a pug. When I was only 4 years old, she came into my life at the young age of two months. She amazingly lived until she was nearly 17. For all those years, I took care of her— playing with her and petting her endlessly. We would often relax together, getting cozy with blankets. She loved to play outside in the yard with me and catch some sun rays too. We bounced off each other's energy. I always made sure she was fed and hydrated and taken outside for the bathroom. My pug Penny had been in my care from the days of her potty training and first learning special commands, to being senile and needing extra assistance in terms of mobility and lack of hearing and sight. More recently, I had dog sat for my friend. My friend's dog needs about 4 hours of walking total per day, so we were always on the move. My friend's dog is getting old, and I could gauge when she was getting tired when we were walking and I adjusted to her needs. I always have water handy. She also loved playing the game where I hid her sheep plushie toy around the house in such good hiding spots that it would impress me when she would almost immediately find it and run it back to me, wanting me to hide it again in a new, more difficult to find spot. I work part time in downtown Cleveland, so I have a lot of free time throughout the week and weekend to dedicate to taking care of your dog. Depending on the day, I could show up periodically throughout the day, or I could pet sit at the house all day long. I do not take care of pets overnight. I pay attention to your dog's needs. I make sure they always have access to water. I set alarms to ensure I feed them at the proper times, taking note of the required measurement of food to feed them. I gladly show them attention and loving care, playing with them when they're enthusiastic about physical activity and having a blast, and petting them and helping them relax when they're feeling like taking a breather or are simply just feeling calm. When it comes to walking dogs, I make sure I'm fully aware of my surroundings. Being observant of other people, other dogs, and drivers at all times, I remain cautious while also keeping up with the dog's pace. I make sure to scan the ground ahead of me in order to avoid debris/poop catching your dog's attention and making them stop in their tracks to sniff/eat it. It's important that your dog doesn't eat things it's not supposed to, and I pay attention to detail and always try to ensure safety when it comes to your dog.

Sydney and James were great and very responsive! They were very proactive about making sure they were getting the details right in caring for our boys. They were even very flexible about coming back an additional time to take care of our cats when our building security erroneously prevented them from entering the building one morning. Would highly recommend these two to anybody looking for cat sitters in the Cleveland area.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Cleveland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Cleveland on Rover is $17.12 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,412 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cleveland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
