“Melody is a gem! I was very pleased with the updates and photos provided during our trip and felt so relieved to know my furbabies were in good hands. Will definitely use her services again when we go out of town!”
“This was our first time using Kimberly, we immediately took to her, and so did our pups. We felt completely comfortable, leaving her with our home are two dogs in our cat. She was timely, she was friendly and took her time with all of our animals, she sent plenty of pictures daily, and kept us a breast when certain things didn’t seem right. We have an elderly, blind, half deaf dog Who we rescued and was feeling very sad that we weren’t around. Kimberly picked up on this, let us know right away, and even took an additional trip to our house to go and just sit with Katy and comfort her to make her feel better about being alone in the house with the other two dogs and no humans. We would highly recommend her to anybody, she did a wonderful job, and allowed us the piece to enjoy our time away from home.”
“Saundra was very quick to respond to my very last minute request and it was greatly appreciated. She was thorough and left us observations on what she saw about Ruby every day, which made me feel good about her trustworthiness. She also was nice enough to come over to get the key from us before our vacation and drop it off afterwards. Recommend!”
About: I worked as a veterinary assistant, I have experience with cats and dogs with all kind of attitudes and needs. I am comfortable caring for animals who may need extra love and attention, or plain Janes & Joes. (Bonus) 😋 I am familiar with bird care and needs as well as scaley friends and aquatics. I am available any day of the week, and typically any time as well. Feel free to reach out! My typical schedule rarely changes, and I will always do my best to fit your schedule. I hope we can discuss your needs & your pets' needs! 😊 I will be available to come to your home when it suites you and your pet best! I keep open communication so we will be on the same page if there are adjustments or changes to be made. We can negotiate what is prefered day to day!
“Breana was amazing! Very responsive. She kept in touch the whole time and sent pictures. With Aiden’s stress about meeting new people I was worried he would be hesitant to warm up to her but he did great. She has a caring patient way that helped ease him into it. We will definitely have her back again.”
“Carolyn was wonderful. She kept us updated constantly over what she and Harper were doing. She sent pictures, etc. I'm so thankful that we were able to schedule her last minute and we will definitely be using her again.”
About: My first word was kitty. Not kidding! Since my very first word, animals of all kinds have always been a huge part of my life. I have either owned or cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, fish, birds, frogs, horses, goats, and…well, the list goes on. Not matter what four legged (or more or less legged!) friend you need care for, I’m your girl. I have experience caring for all ages (bottle-fed to seniors) all sizes, and many, many different needs. I am experienced in providing wound care and other medical needs, and I am comfortable with animals of all temperaments. My years of experience has taught one thing: ALL animals are unique, and each needs to be cared for individually. I look forward to learning the unique needs of your pet and caring for them accordingly! My work is freelance and gig based, so I often have large stretches of time open and my day to day routine is very flexible. I typically try to book Housesitting stays about a month in advance, but if I am available, I am happy to book last minute! Call it a cruel twist of fate, but my landlord doesn’t allow pets. So, I have TONS of love to share with yours! While I won’t be bringing any of your furry friends home with me, I am always willing to come to them and provide care in the space they are most familiar with and comfortable in. You pet has a routine, and it’s my goal to help make sure that routine is carried out whether you’re at work or out of the country. I prioritize your instructions while caring for your pet and their environment, and make sure to keep open communication with you so you can feel at ease while away.
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.
“Was so thorough and such a great communicator!! Adriana updated me with every drop by with simple and effective communication so that I felt completely confident she was caring for our pets! I appreciated her punctuality stopping by right when she said she would each day! We were very impressed, thank you!!”
“Paige did a great job taking care of our fur babies. I have always felt uncomfortable leaving them, but Paige made me feel at ease. She was very willing to come meet with me so I could let her know their preferences and show her their environment, including where they liked to hide! I would definitely be very happy to leave them in her care again.”
“Cierra has sat for us a couple of time now and we are very happy with her service. Our pets are always happy when we come home and we can tell she gives them lots of love. She is very friendly, responsive and professional. We look forward to working with her again in the future.”
About: I've always had a connection with animals. I know how to give medications as needed. I've always been asked to pet sit since I was 10. I used to own my pet sitting business but life happened and COVID happened so I had to go back to work full-time. I have been wanting to pick back up pet sitting because it made me happy. I, now, do side gigs and am free most of the time. I do have my own animals so I'd like to be able to have some time with them if I stay at your place. I will follow whatever instructions you leave me. Plus, help them feel loved while you're away. There will be no worry because they will be in good care.
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.

Cierra did an amazing job watching my kitten for 10 days. I was nervous to leave her so long but Cierra took such good care of her. She was attentive, friendly, easy to work with, and communicated so well! My cat loved her and I hope she is available every time I have to leave town. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.
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!
I never used rover before this trip and it was a great experience! I’m so happy to have found Ashlee to look after my baby! She was great at communicating, sent me awesome pictures, was great at reading my boys personality in giving him some space to warm up to her. She was willing to clean up his little puke mess and told me about it right away. I would absolutely recommend Ashlee for your pet sitting needs and look forward to seeing if she is available to look after my kitty on the next trip I take.

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 848 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 92% 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.
