“Absolutely sweetheart!! I trusted her with my two polar opposite dogs and she did absolutely amazing!! Stayed with them all day so they didn’t have to be in a cage all day. She was very responsive and send updates throughout the day. 10/10 would recommend and rebook again!!”
“Anna was amazing with our cat and home. We are so thankful for her care and communication. Her flexibility when our travel plans were delayed was a lifesaver.”
“Ginger is very tidy, responsive and made me feel at ease while I was away from my senior dogs. I loved her photos and communication was great! I will definitely reach out to Ginger first for my next trip.”
About: I’ve grown up with high energy Aussies since I was a kid. From the moment I moved to a pet friendly home and schedule I started on the Aussie pack I have now. I have trained two dogs from puppies and rescued two from unfortunate situations. Therefore, I understand and can assist in potty and leash training, socialization, or a good old fashioned game of fetch. I’ve always loved working with dogs and seeing the joy they get from just being with you. In college I often volunteered with animal shelters to assist in socializing dogs. While I was active duty military I relied on my dog sitter to ensure my pups were getting all of their energy out and getting all the love with my unpredictable schedule. Therefore, I know how important it is to have someone who you can trust with your pups. I will strive to treat your fur babies just like my own because they’re our family! I recently retired from active duty military and am taking some much needed down time with my 4 dogs. I am available Monday-Saturday and would love to fit your fur babies into the routine! I have a large fenced backyard, I believe in positive reinforcement, and have 4 excited friendly pups who would love to share their space and toys with any new friends that want to play!
“David was an excellent dog sitter for our two dogs. When he sent photos they looked so relaxed which is such a plus when you are leaving your dogs with someone. Thank you again for taking care of them!”
“It was our first time hiring a non family member to care for our girls. Yet it became very clear upon our first meet & greet that Heather B was like a family member to us! Our girls were treated like royalty. We received many photographs throughout out vacation that showed us our girls were very comfortable with Heather B. We will definitely ask for Heather B again & we sincerely suggest if you need a caring pet sitter, Heather B is the one to recommend! Warm Regards & with much gratitude, Andy & Pia”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and over the years, I’ve come to realize that each animal is truly unique with its own personality and quirks. This is what I love most about pet sitting—getting to know them and observing their personalities as they become more comfortable with me. I am currently only working a few days a week as I am in school. So I will have more than enough time, love, and definitely cuddles to give to your furry family. Your pets’ safety is my top priority when pet sitting. I make every effort to ensure that your animals have a wonderful and enjoyable time while I’m taking care of them. Also, I’d like to add that during overnight stays, I prefer my boyfriend, Landen, to stay with me. It makes me feel more comfortable as a young woman. He’s also an animal lover, so between the two of us, your beloved animals will receive an overload of love. (lol) I’ll make sure you’re okay with that before the booking as well!
“All I know is that our female Lab, Hazelnut, seemed a bit mopey after we got home. We think she just missed Anna. Makes sense. Anna took the same kind of care for our two Labs that we would have taken ourselves. She went out of the way to take them to their regular parks for off leash walks and playtime. Bodie had all his required meds - on time (3X/day). And Anna's communication was spot on. We were clear across the country, but felt very comfortable that our dogs were well taken care of. If Anna is avail;able when we need a sitter, we'll book her again, for sure.”
About: I have provided professional pet-care in & out of my own home for over seven years. I am dedicated to treating your pets and your home as if it is my own. I am devoted to ensuring my schedule is built around the care of your animal. I currently work for myself, making flexibility easy for me. Quality service is my number one priority. My focus as a provider is keeping your pet as comfortable as possible, by giving them individualized attention and specialized care.
“I am so grateful for Aubrey’s attentive care to our dogs and our house during our trip. She is a professional who goes above and beyond expectations, and the dogs absolutely love her. We wish we had met her sooner, and I am certain the dogs feel the same way! Many thanks to her for giving us complete peace of mind during our trip!”
“Kara was wonderful! She was willing to come sit with our baby Archer when we asked her last minute and on a holiday. We appreciate her kindness and the quality of care that she gave Archer.”
“We had a few mishaps such as my dog and whatnot. HOWEVER Amaya did take care of them and play with them. She kept my home very neat it’s almost as if no one was here! She did follow all instructions and communicated with me when she felt as if something was off with my dog. Would book with amaya again.”
“We cannot recommend Lee highly enough! He cared for our two senior dogs while we were on an international trip, and the experience was truly exceptional from start to finish. I have a prior career in veterinary medicine, so I hold an extremely high standard when it comes to the care of my pets- especially since both of our dogs are seniors who require multiple medications twice daily. Lee exceeded every expectation. He followed all instructions flawlessly, managed their medication schedule without a single issue or complication, and cared for them with genuine attentiveness and compassion. Leaving them would normally have been incredibly stressful. This was the first time we have ever been away from home without a single issue arising- and that peace of mind is absolutely priceless to us. We truly did not worry for a second while we were gone. Lee also took wonderful care of our home and was outstanding with communication. He provided multiple daily updates, which kept us connected and reassured the entire time. Everything felt seamless and easy because of him. Because of Lee, we were able to fully enjoy every moment of our trip knowing our pets were safe, loved, and in the very best hands. We are beyond grateful and will absolutely be recommending him to everyone we know. Thank you again, Lee- you are truly one of a kind!”
“Riley was so great as a house/pet sitter. She spoiled our pets and took great care of our home. Our dog loves car rides so she took her on one every day (even got pup cups)! She even washed her sheets on her last day. We already booked her for another trip we have planned. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been tending to animals since I was about 7 years old, I’ve grown up with cats, dogs, reptiles, farm animals, and more so I’m very comfortable around all pets! I also attended a school where I helped care for animals through my high school years. My schedule is pretty flexible, and honestly, I’d love an excuse to spend more time around animals. I’ve always had a soft spot for cats, especially the weird little personalities they all have. I’m happy to give them attention, play with them, or just hang out and let them do their thing. I’m pretty easygoing and patient, and I like giving animals the time they need to get comfortable with me. I also have a 15-year-old cat, so I definitely have a soft spot for older animals and understand that they can need a little extra patience, care, and attention. Every pet is different, and I’m happy to meet them where they’re at.
About: I’ve been an animal lover all my life I’d love the opportunity to meet your and your pets needs and provide a safe, fun home for them I am semi retired and work part time My schedule is flexible most days to provide you and your pet friendly reliable service as needed I have a fenced yard and one older dog who loves other animals!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Cleveland is $86 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $86 and $86 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,301 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cleveland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Cleveland walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Cleveland maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
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 sitter.
