“Wendy was awesome with Grace and showed her lots of love! Grace seemed to enjoy coming back to Wendy's home after our first meeting to play with the other dogs in Wendy's fantastic fenced in yard where Grace could run to her heart's content! Wendy is very knowledgeable about dogs and shared some great training tips. She is very personable and accommodating and sent photos & videos. I highly recommend Wendy! We are going to use her again for a 16 day stay.”

“I'm very tardy in completing this review - I thought I had done it! As always, Sandra was GREAT! She sent us pictures of Casey and at the end of our vacation, we received a wonderful video w/ music. It made my day! He was kept busy, loved on and barely noticed we were gone. LOL I trust Sandra 100% with my baby. Thank you!!!”
“Keeley did an amazing job watching our pup! This was our first time using Rover and she made everything very easy. She was super responsive, provided multiple updates and pictures throughout and accommodated our schedule perfectly for pick up/drop off. Would definitely recommend her! Thanks Keeley!”
About: Hi, I’m Kris! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have two years of professional experience working in a busy doggy daycare, where I was responsible for safely supervising and caring for up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play, administer medications, maintain proper cleaning and disinfection protocols, and provide a safe, low-stress environment for every dog in my care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and pets with behavioral challenges or special medical needs. I’ve also fostered dogs in my home, which has given me additional experience helping nervous or transitioning pets feel safe and comfortable. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to three dogs and a cat, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a patient companion, medication, or simply lots of love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! et care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my day around consistency and animal care. I have experience managing multiple pets at once, so I’m used to building my schedule around feeding times, litter box maintenance, play sessions, and check-ins. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits and maintain a steady routine for each pet I care for. I’m comfortable incorporating visits into my day-to-day activities, and I plan my time so pets always get full attention without feeling rushed. Because I’ve worked in structured animal care settings and have fostered pets in my home, staying on top of routines like feeding, cleaning, medication, and companionship is second nature to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s something I naturally organize my day around I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care visit. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m careful with home entry and follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and any house rules. I keep doors secured during visits, monitor pets closely during interactions, and make sure their environment stays clean, comfortable, and safe at all times. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me. I approach each animal with patience and respect, especially shy, senior, or anxious pets, and I always move at their comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, consistent experience so pets feel secure while you’re away and you feel
“Cathy took wonderful care of our dog while we were away for 5 days. I can’t say enough good things about her. She was easy to communicate with, she sent photos everyday, and checked in so we knew all was well with our boy. If you’re looking for a friendly and reliable sitter I’d highly recommend Cathy!”
“Katherine was the sweetest sitter for our cat, Muzzy! I mentioned my concern since my cat has a history of overheating issues and a heat wave was coming— Katherine went above and beyond, even buying an AC unit for her to be comfortable. She created nice spots for Muzzy to perch on and be comfortable. I would definitely put my trust in Katherine to watch any of my pets in the future!!”
“Tori was awesome! I received daily updates and multiple pictures which made me so happy! Bailey was in such great hands! She had cuddles, treats and lots of fun with her dogs Barley and Porter. If you want your pup to have fun and feel home I highly recommend Tori. Bailey can’t wait to see them again!”
“Sarah was great with Teddy. He's far from a low maintenance dog and especially for his first boarding experience he seemed to settle in very well and she made sure he had everything he needed to feel comfortable and provided plenty of updates and pictures.”
“Eric and Polly are fantastic! They are so caring and Colby loves spending time there! We can go on vacation knowing that he feels at home and that he is in a safe and loving environment.”
“Thank you Rachel for taking care of our Luke! Luke is a beagle mix who is quite a handful but got along well with all of her dogs. Wish I could give a few extra stars!”
“We could not have asked for a better experience with Amanda as our dog sitter. It was clear he was happy during his stay from avideo and picture, which gave us peace of mind. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Clare did a great job with Indy. She has a sweet comforting personality and our dog felt right at home right away. It's clear how much Clare cares about animals and she so wanted to please. Her apartment is tidy and there's lots of places for dogs to hang out. Clare sent pictures of Indy sleeping, walking and playing. Clare is just starting with Rover but we recommend that you give her a shot watching your dog. Mark and Patty”
“Shirley took such amazing care of my pups while I was out of town. She provided multiple updates per day and many photos during their stay. Honestly the best Pet Sitting experience I’ve ever had! I will most definitely use her services again and highly recommend her!”
“Archna was great. Very flexible and accommodating in regards to pickup and drop off times for our dog. She also was great at trying to keep with patterns and routines we may have established with our dog. She really cared about him. And the daily updates and pictures were awesome.”
“Leslie is amazing. She takes great care of our fur babies and always does a little extra that helps us know things will be fine while we are gone (water plants, bring in mail, etc).”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets are family, and I strive to provide the same level of care, attention, and patience that I would want for my own. My background in healthcare has taught me how to be responsible, detail-oriented, and attentive to the unique needs of every individual, skills that translate naturally to pet care. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need patience and consistency to senior dogs who may require a gentler pace and extra attention. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, administering oral medications, reinforcing basic training, or simply providing companionship, I prioritize your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness. I am currently a Master's student in Medical Physiology at Case Western Reserve University, which has helped me develop strong time-management, responsibility, and organizational skills. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals as a balance to my studies. Despite a busy academic schedule, I am very intentional about managing my time and maintaining commitments. Whether it's morning walks, midday drop-in visits, evening care, or weekend sitting, I enjoy incorporating pet care into my routine because it allows me to spend time outdoors and connect with animals while helping pet owners have peace of mind. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet with patience, attentiveness, and compassion. As someone pursuing a career in healthcare, I value reliability, clear communication, and attention to detail, and I bring those same qualities to caring for your furry family members. I am committed to ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any specific preferences or needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and mental stimulation while also keeping their environment clean and safe. If providing care in my own home, I would ensure pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, fresh water, and opportunities for play and rest. My goal is always to make pets feel as relaxed and loved as possible, whether they are in their own home or mine.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cleveland Heights
Tove & Gerald did an excellent job caring for our sweet girl while we were able to focus on being present at our wedding without having any concerns about how our dog was doing during it. They were very flexible and understanding and generously included a meet and greet for us before booking to ensure they were a good fit. We are so happy that we have someone close by that we can trust our girl with - and are very thankful for them!
He’s new to Rover and doesn’t have the experience to handle unexpected issues yet. My dog got an upset stomach and had diarrhea the first two nights. Dejaun asked for an emergency contact but there wasn’t really anything for them to do as Kai wasn’t actually having an emergency, he just got loose bowels. Im not sure what caused this but think it was possibly from stress because some other dogs were also being boarded and one was acted quite aggressive towards Kai when I dropped him off (though Dejaun had a crate rotation system in place to make sure no fights broke out and everyone could move about safely). Dejaun did eventually go to the store to buy some pumpkin, bone broth, and goat’s milk to help settle Kai’s stomach after I asked my breeder for advice. When Kai was returned he still smelled like poop so I don’t think he was wiped down very well, but there wasn’t anything obvious stuck to him and Dejaun still took care of him. My one qualm is that Dejaun seemed to make up a $50 fee that was not added by rover, listed on his profile, added when he originally modified the booking request, or discussed during our conversation prior to me confirming the booking. I found that part rather unprofessional and uncomfortable as it was brought up in the middle of the stay while my dog was in his care. I double checked his profile to ensure I hadn’t simply missed it but it was not there so I ignored the request and he didn’t bring it up again. Since he didn’t push for it and continued to be polite in all other interactions, I will give the benefit of the doubt that maybe he forgot he hadn’t disclosed that earlier and upon realizing he let the matter drop quietly. I’m still giving five stars because he took the extra steps of going to the store to hunt down the ingredients for Kai’s tummy treatment and provided Kai with good care despite Kai’s unexpected illness.
They are extremely good sitters. I was apprehensive about leaving Lily and she was too but they soon put me at ease with pictures and text updates. I was able to relax when on vacation because I could see she was actually enjoying her stay. They new how to accommodate an older dog.
Our pup Charlie was in great hands with Alyssa and her crew for the last 10 days. From the start, Alyssa was responsive, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She shared frequent updates, photos, and videos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was obvious Charlie was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime, and he looked happy and well cared for throughout his stay. We came home to a relaxed, healthy pup, and we’re so grateful for the care he received. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Charlie with Alyssa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their dog.
Ivette was so incredible with my senior dog! She updated me about how he was doing including potty breaks, meals, and medications. He has special needs and she was very accommodating for all of my requests and went above and beyond with making him at home and comfortable. We appreciate that she was very helpful and flexible with some changes to our itinerary. Eich was very happy when we picked him up! I'm a very anxious pet parent and am always nervous leaving Eich but felt very comfortable that he was well taken care of. We highly recommend Ivette!
she always does such a great job and is so amazing about keeping you in the loop and updated, i was away for about 11 days and i have a puppy and a senior pup and her and Colt (her pup) were such amazing sitters and were so great with both of my pups for the long stay 🐾 🦴 💜

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.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
