“I recommend Stephanie to anyone needing a sitter for their furry friend or someone just to drop by and make sure they are okay! She was very understanding, knowing I had a demanding job that changed my booking time. I was very appreciative for her accommodation.”

About: I've taken care of all sorts of dogs of many different sizes. From puppy's to senior dogs they're all no problem. I've also given medications to dogs to. I'm currently available to look after your pets on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at anytime. I would like a day in advance so I have time to prepare. I have three cats and a dog. One of my cats is in her senior years so she requires special foods. I like to keep my animals environments very clean and stress free for them. I have no problem with giving medications to any animal. I don't mind what size or how old the animal is I think they all deserve great care.

About: I love all animals and would love to do this as a job! I do it for fun all the time and thought I could make some money off of it! One day I want to adopt a bunch of animals probably mostly dogs cause I love dogs. But I’m open to watching any animals not just dogs and cats! I’m currently working part time as a server and i work night shifts so just looking for some extra money for in the mornings! I’m also in school but it’s online currently I have a fended in yard and I have a dog but he’s very friendly. And if I’m at your house or walking then they would be in good hands and care!
About: I’ve owned pets since I was born, even now I own 2 rescue cats, 2 golden retrievers, chickens, ducks, too many tanks and fish to count and often many rescue animals. I’m the girl that stops my car and moves snakes, alligator snapping turtles and all manner of creatures from the road. I’m not scared of any pets, or animals. I love to meet new furry friends and often am told I have “a way” with animals. My nick name as a child was Snow White. One day we hope to own a farm. I graduated college as an EMT, so I have wound care experience and also am trained in natural medicine as well. I’m the mom of 3 and have the privilege of being a stay at home mom of humans and animals. I’m free most of the time to help care for those who need help! I often dog sit at my home with my family as supportive help for playing with and caring for those in our care. My kids adore walking, playing and loving on any pets. I and (if desired) my kids can easily come to care for your loved ones at your home as well. We cater to preferences and love animals of all kinds! Furry guests in our home usually sleep on a kid and their bed all night unless other preferred requests like a kennel if you don’t want them spoiled.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years and regularly care for the pets of family and friends. I truly love animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I treat every animal as if they were my own and give them the same care, attention, and affection I’d want for my own pets. After all, pets are family. My schedule is very flexible as a part time server and college student. I’m generally available every day before 4 PM, and I often have evening availability depending on my work schedule. I’m happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit their needs and can accommodate most requests with advance notice. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a safe, stress free environment. I have a very friendly dog who loves other animals and can provide a crate if needed. I follow each pet’s routine, respect their individual needs, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while their family is away.
About: I have had pets my whole life! I worked at a local vet clinic for over 8 years before becoming an RN. I am experienced in giving meds, caring for senior pets, snuggles, and love! I will love your pet as my own! I am currently a stay at home/homeschool mom. We are home for the majority of most days. We love to be outside, go on walks, and spoil pets! I have an 8 foot privacy fence around my large back yard. I am mom to a playful and very friendly golden retriever and a 13 year old diva cat who mostly sleeps all day. I am available for overnight care at your home or drop-in visits.
About: I have owned pets my entire life. I currently have a 3 year old German Shepard named Brutus who is the apple of our eye!

I am a stay at home mom so I am extremely flexible! I am able to work around your needs and adjust to my own schedule! Our yard is fenced in at home and our German Shepard is crate trained and knows all basic commands, as well as a fabulous frisbee athlete! I will care for your pets at your home how you treat them so that they are familiar with routine and comfortable with me. I can do a prior meet and greet as well to make sure we are both a good fit for each other.
About: I’ve always had dogs and taken care of my families pets while they are gone. I currently work with the autistic population and love being a caregiver. I currently work 30 hours per week with large chunks of time available to love and care for pets. I’m also in a good location work wise for drop ins to visit your pet. I have a huge fenced in yard myself and could have overnights at my house. Still deciding if I wanna do that with my 2 dogs (whom are very sweet).

“This is the second time Kathe has pet sit for my two cats. My husband and I trust her to take excellent care of them when we are away. She gives me so much peace of mind and I know that I do not need to worry about anything. She is easy to get in touch with and sends daily updates. Kathe is very kind and dependable. I will always recommend her!”

About: I grew up with dogs and a cat, and often took neighborhood pet sitting jobs. I also worked with small animals on a local farm for several years, and currently live in a house with two dogs, who I help care for when their owners are away. Over the past six years or so, I’ve done pet and house sitting for various clients, and it’s been a fantastic experience! I look forward to meeting your pets and helping give you the time away you deserve! I work local to Chattanooga as a freelance editor and artist, so I’m able to work from anywhere! My schedule is flexible most days, so please don’t hesitate to reach out. I have plenty of experience caring for big dogs, small dogs, and cats, and am counting down the days until I’m able to have one of my own. Sadly, I’m not in a position to bring any pets home to my current residence, but that means I have lots of extra attention I can give to your pets while you’re away! Your routines and specific-to-you needs regarding your home and pets are important, and my goal is to make sure those needs are provided for. Whether you’re gone for the night on business or spending a week on vacation, don’t hesitate to reach out! I prioritize open communication, and you will receive regular updates while you’re away. Excited to hear from you!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 and have experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m currently a full-time student at Chattanooga State, which gives me flexible schedule. I’m available in the mornings or evenings and can come by in between classes.

About: I used to volunteer at a local animal shelter. I took a course on animal handling, how to decrease frustration, anxiety and stress (FAS) for animals in the shelter, body language, how emotional health impacts an animal’s physical health, etc. I have a certificate in keeping a shelter Fear Free. My family and friends have relied on me in the past to dogsit their fur-babies. I have a large extended family with pets of all kinds, from German Shepard’s, Labradors and Cocker Spaniels, to mixed breeds and Tabby cats. Five of them are shelter rescues and one chihuahua-dashscund. For all of the animals I have taken care of, I came to their home so that the animals remained comfortable. I love all of my fur-babies, and I’m thankful that my family trusts me enough to take care of them while they’re away on vacation. Important Note: If you’re wanting to do more “meet and greets” after the first one in order for your pet to get more comfortable around me, I will be charging the same price as it would be for a drop-in (about $15 depending on the pet care). Another Important Note: I can give oral medication by putting it into their food. I can not, however, give it to the pet straight. My work schedule varies every week. However, I usually work from either 8:30 AM or 10 AM to 4 or 5 PM. I wouldn’t mind discussing the details in-person. My living situation does not allow me to petsit in my own home, however, I am able to petsit in my clients’ homes. When it comes to animals, I am very responsible. I take my job as a pet-sitter very seriously. I am able to give them any medications if needed at certain days and times, walk them, feed them, etc.
“Jaime S did an OUTSTANDING job looking after our pups at our home! Both dogs loved her and her daughter who also came over occasionally. She took care of insulin injections needed for our dog Gemma and always kept us informed. Highly recommend her services!”

“Sara was great with our pups and lovely to work with. She met with us and our pets briefly first which was so helpful and much appreciated. She did a great job asking questions and following through on everything we discussed. Would happily work with her again. Thanks Sara!”

I can administer medicine if they need it and I can provide them with exercise as I have a fenced back yard or we can go on walks! I have four pets of my own (2 cats) and 2 dogs (a basset hound and chorkie). who also love other animals! Boarding wise I will be here with your pet the entire time as I stay at home! I will do my best to make them comfortable while their parents can’t be here! I stay at home so any schedule they are on I can easily accommodate to make sure they aren’t confused whenever they aren’t at home! If coming to your house I will make sure they are comfortable with me before hand and give them all the lives while I am there! When boarding they will have two other dogs to run and play with or I can easily keep them separated if need be!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cleveland
Jackie was great to have take care of our dogs. She communicated well with us. She went above and beyond our expectations. She stayed with them longer than I had planned on for every visit. She made us a card with the pictures she took and even got the dogs extra treats. We also were pleasantly surprised to find she cleaned up after our dogs in the yard. I highly recommend her.

Karissa was amazing! We got our first snow storm in our new house while out of town and she could not get her car out of the driveway, but she still managed to get a ride just so she could come check in on our pups for their drop in visit. We are so thankful!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 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 Meet & Greet .
