“Ashlee is patient with our sweet shy cat, Lola. We came home to a very happy and talkative kitty. Both times we have asked Ashlee to care for Lola while we were out of town have been great! She even checked our mail for us!”
“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: 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 owned dogs and cats since I was 4 years old. I love my lil dogs— the lil dogs with ginormous energy are my pawsitively fur-avorite pets. Along with that, my friends call me the cat whisperer. I bond with animals quickly and have a huge spot in my heart reserved for your fur babies. I currently only work twice a week with 5 hour shifts, so I have basically free availability. I have 4 dogs and 3 cats of my own, but they are very independent and the dogs have a large fence with a dog door. I cannot offer services in my own home due to a reactive Great Pyrenees and a cat that is a bully, but I will treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect and care. I am passionate about leaving things better than I found them, so if there are any accidents I will likely clean up after your pet if there is time.
About: I grew up with multiple dogs and cats and spent years taking care of friends pets! Nothing makes me more happy than making sure animals have a fun and exciting day! Currently between careers so i have plenty of flexibility around visiting your pets! I do have pets of my own i need to tend to during the day, but aside from that I'm pretty available! Happy to tend to any kind of animal. I'm a lover of dogs of ALL sizes (yes even the big "scary" ones)! Let me know how i can make your pet more comfortable and I'll do my absolute best to accommodate!
About: I’m a dependable companion for your furry family member while you’re away. What sets me apart on Rover is my commitment to personalized, loving care that makes pets feel safe, happy, and at home—even when you’re not. Every pet has their own personality, quirks, and needs, and I take the time to truly understand and cater to them. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication, or just giving extra belly rubs and playtime, I treat your pet like my own. I also keep you in the loop with frequent photo updates and messages, so you always know your pet is in good hands. One of the biggest advantages of booking with me? I’m home full-time and have a completely open schedule! That means I can provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day—whether your pet needs morning walks, midday playtime, evening feedings, or just lots of love and companionship in between. Because I’m not juggling another job, I can easily accommodate last-minute bookings, special routines, or extra check-ins. Your pet gets all the attention they deserve, and you get total peace of mind knowing I’m just a message away. When your pet stays with me, their safety and well-being are my top priority. While we don’t have a fenced-in yard, I always use a secure leash and harness for outdoor time, ensuring your pup gets fresh air and exercise safely. I’m attentive on walks and always keep a close eye on their surroundings. Inside, I have plenty of clean, pet-friendly space where your pet can relax, play, and feel right at home. Whether it’s a cozy spot for a nap or room to roam and explore, I create a calm, welcoming environment that feels safe and familiar. With years of experience and a genuine love for animals, I’m dedicated to earning both your trust and your pet’s. You can count on me to treat them with the same care and attention I give my own.
“I hired Paige to care for my cat while I was away for a few days and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She was incredibly friendly, communicated clearly and consistently, and followed all instructions perfectly. My cat was well cared for and happy when I returned. I would absolutely recommend Paige to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!”
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!
“Kathe did a phenomenal job checking in on my kitties. She provided daily updates and pictures, with little bits of how each cat was doing. I would trust her to watch them again any time.”
“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!”
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 believe that pets are extended family and I will treat your fur family members like my own, with love, respect, and care! I also am experienced with caring for chickens! 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.
“Elizabeth was so kind. Fell right into the routine, and made quick friends with my girl cat. I would definitely book with Elizabeth again!! Thank you for providing peace of mind to pet owners!!”
“LaDonna took great care of our kitty. Chloe was happy and content and her old self when we returned. Thank you for caring for our girl while we were away for the holidays!”

About: I am was previously a volunteer at the Alameda Animal Shelter which I have been for about a year. I have dog sat many friends dogs while away on trips and walk my dog every day rain or shine. Many of my friends and family often rely on me to watch their dogs while they're away on vacation and I am always eager to accept! I enjoy taking 1-2 hour walks/jogs everyday and love to take dogs along with me. I will always send you photos of how your pup is doing while you're away and give you a full report on our day! I currently own a Shiba Inu named Thor which you might have met at the dog park or when I walk him around. I have grown up around animals all my life and believe that they are truly part of the family.
About: Hello, my name is Anna! I am a registered nurse in Chattanooga. With my extra time, I would love to help take care of animals in our community while their parents are away. I have worked and volunteered with animals for years. Shoot me a message and we can get to know each other! I work Monday through Friday 8am - 5pm and have free time on most Saturdays and Sunday's. During the week I could do check-ins at 6am or after 5:45 pm. I am available many weekends. Our family has loved many cats over the years, and our latest kitty required fluid injections every other day and medications and ear ointment. I am used to providing detailed care and lots of love and play too. I am very organized, and that has been useful when pet sitting.

Was so happy to have Ashlee back to watch Fish! She is always on time, detailed, responsive and takes great pictures for my peace of mind. My Fishie real enjoys having her come by to check in on him and I feel much more relaxed on my trips knowing Ashlee is looking in on him for me.
Cierra has a really nice manner that is calming a reassuring to cats. Our skittish cat even came out one day when Cierra was there and let Cierra pet her! Also, a couple of very large branches fell across our driveway while we were away and they were completely blocking the driveway. Cierra moved the branches so that she could get through to care for our kitties! Talk about dedication!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cleveland is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $26 per visit. 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 838 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cleveland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cleveland. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
