“Caio was incredible with my little Gracie. I could see the difference in her anxiety levels between leaving the first day and returning home. She was so happy and calm when I walked in the door. Caio goes above and beyond to provide the best care. He provides frequent updates and many sweet pictures. Highly recommend.”

“Sam was a wonderful kitty care taker!! She was super communicative, sent great updates and photos, and I felt comfortable knowing my kitties were in great hands. Will rebook!”

About: With 9 years of experience, I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, from energetic large-breed dogs to cats with unique personalities and needs. I’m also comfortable handling elderly pets and those with medical requirements, ensuring they receive the care and attention they deserve. Beyond pet sitting, I specialize in house sitting, making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you're away. Whether it's keeping up with a high-energy dog’s exercise routine, understanding a cat’s body language, administering medication, or giving extra playtime and snuggles, I treat every pet as if they were my own <3 In addition to dogs and cats, I have about 4 years of experience with average freshwater aquariums. I’m comfortable performing water changes and maintaining tank health—I even have my own 10-gallon tank. If you're looking for a reliable, experienced sitter who understands the unique needs of big dogs, energetic pups, affectionate (or independent) cats, and even fish, I’d love to help! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, even with a full-time job. Since I’m passionate about animals, taking care of pets is something I truly enjoy, especially because I have my own pets. My workplace is filled with pet lovers too, and that connection keeps me motivated. I always make time to ensure every pet I care for gets the attention, kisses, and snuggles they need to feel happy and stress-free. Balancing my job with pet sitting allows me to do what I love while earning extra income. When I care for pets in my clients' homes, I make sure to fully understand their routines and where all essentials like food, leashes, and toys are located. I respect house rules, ensuring I know which areas are off-limits and where pets should be kept when I’m out. I keep the environment tidy and mess-free, ensuring a safe space for both the pets and the home. My goal is to maintain consistency, so pets feel secure and comfortable while you're away.
“Jackie was awesome! Friendly when we met her, and did a great job with our cat Shadow! Always nice to not have to worry about your pet when you travel. We would highly record her!”

“Issac was great walking and checking in on Loubie. He was dependable, attentive, and clearly cared about her well-being. Communication was great, and I felt confident she was well taken care of.”

“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 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’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.
“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: 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!
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Cleveland is $20

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.

Victoria was great! I did a meet and great with her before I left on vacation and she immediately put me at ease. She is very personable and professional when it comes to cat sitting. She sent me pictures and updates everyday she stopped by. I highly recommend her.

Jackie is amazing! She takes such great care of my cats, spends extra time with them, sends lots of photos and updates, and even brings in my packages while I’m away. I always have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in such caring hands. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Sydney and James were fantastic! We couldn’t have asked for better! They took such great care of our Teddy, and really took our worries away with traveling. Above and beyond service, they definitely treated our little guy like their own. Will definitely be contacting them again!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Cleveland on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,441 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.

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.
