“Diane did a fantastic job with our dog, Maggie, even when Maggie had a tough first day being crated and shredded her bed. Will definitely hire Diane again. Easy to communicate with and took great care of our pooch.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Elinor as our cat sitter! She was a great communicator from our initial request through her very last visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away on an extended trip. Our cats don't always come out for strangers, so we were especially happy to see that they warmed up to her enough to come out for treats and even play with her during some of her visits. She sent us cute photos and thoughtful updates each day, which we really appreciated and loved seeing while we were away. Our flight home was unexpectedly delayed, and she was incredibly flexible about adding an extra day with the girls. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter!”
“Jackie was absolutely wonderful! My dog loved her, and I knew my dog was being so well taken care of. Jackie was on time everyday, and made me feel so at ease. I would very highly recommend Jackie!”
“Glenn provided consistent care and attention for my cat and undertook the challenge of caring for my parrot although he was without prior bird experience. Both bird and cat were happy and healthy upon my return and Glenn communicated daily reports on them while I was away. I couldn’t be more pleased.”
“Lauren is a great communicator. I always love the pictures she sends and the thoughtful check-ins she writes. She is always easy to work with and I really appreciate her!!”
“Michael was great! He was professional, reliable, and communicative throughout the entire process. I felt confident knowing my dog was in good hands, and I appreciated the updates and responsiveness. I would definitely recommend him to other pet owners.”
“Kimberly is a dog persons dog person. She is conscientious and caring, her photography of my dogs is among the best I've ever experienced. Kimberly has a great sense of humor and truly loves dogs. I know that I will be booking her again in the future because she made me completely comfortable that my fur babies were in the care of someone that loves them as much as I do. I can unequivocally recommend Kimberly as a dog care professional.”
About: My genuine passion for animals and my lifelong dream about having my own dogs finally came true when I welcomed my own pups into my family. I have firsthand experience with the daily care, attention and patience that pets need to thrive. My genuine passion for animals and my lifelong dream about having my own dogs finally came true when I welcomed my own pups into my family. Beyond caring for my own dogs, I volunteer with a local animal shelter for a “Dogs Day Out” program where I take shelter dogs on outside to provide socialization, exercise and enrichment. These experiences alone have strengthened my understanding of dogs with many personalities and needs, allowing me to provide compassionate, attentive, and reliable care for every pet I get to meet. :) I work in the emergency department, so my schedule varies, but my partner and I live together so generally when I am not home he is there, and vice versa. When I’m not at work, I will spend all my time with your pet, taking them on walks, to dog parks, to get pup cups, etc, whatever you as the owner allow or prefer! I have a fenced in yard at my home, so dogs can be off leash to exercise, use the potty, and play time. During their stay in my home, they are welcome to be free roaming, not in crates, unless owners would prefer crates.
“Christopher has been great for drop-in visits with my two dogs. My 5 year old doodle Ruthie is nervous around strangers and he put her at ease pretty quickly. My 4 month puppy Bodhi loves his play time with Christopher as well. He’s very attentive with Bodhi’s puppy antics and makes sure the dogs don’t play too rough. Christopher’s prompt communication before and after visits and genuine care for animals definitely earns him a 5 star recommendation!”
“Alexis cared for my cats while I was out of town. One is particularly shy and nervous, and she came out with Alexis which I think says something! She was communicative and easy to plan with!”
“Gina was great! I needed a last minute sitter for a family emergency and she was able to accommodate. Brynlee loved her and she sent the most adorable pictures! I would definitely use her again!”
“Mary was very easy to work with on very short notice! She was prompt and professional in communicating and the dogs had a great time! I will definitely keep her in mind for the future. Thanks again!”
About: I am a huge animal lover; I’ve had pets my whole life and know how much a routine matters to them, especially during a stressful time apart from their family. I’ve cared for a diabetic dog, giving insulin shots three times a day for years, and also babysat a diabetic cat — so I’m comfortable with medication schedules and special-needs care. I’m an active person who treats every fur baby like they are my best friend because that’s what they deserve! I have a flexible schedule and work from home Mondays and Fridays, so those days are perfect for midday walks or potty breaks — I can easily fit your pup into my schedule without rushing. On weekends, I’m open to house sitting or home visits, giving your pet consistent, attentive care while you’re away. I don’t board pets at my own home, so all care happens at your house, keeping your pet in their familiar, comfortable environment. During home visits or house sits, I follow your routines closely for feeding, walks, and medication, and I’m experienced with special and elder pet needs. I treat your home and pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
“Brittany was absolutely amazing with Love! My fur baby was recently diagnosed with kidney disease and I was able to go on vacation knowing that he would be able to get the subcutaneous fluids that he needed. She was very communicative, paid attention to detail, and was able to troubleshoot as things came up. Would absolutely have Brittany take care of Love again in the future.”
“Erin did a great job. Our cats were not stressed and seemed relaxed and happy. Erin checked in a lot and sent lots of pictures. I would recommend this service and Erin specifically.”
“Puppers took to him instantly. It's good to know I can count on someone to take good care of my dog while I'm away, and that my dog isn't gonna turn into a depressed furball. Very much appreciated!”
“Anya is a God send. I work 2nd shift and really need someone to give my Blue that 2nd walk of the day. She is caring and thoughtful and very much appreciated by us both!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cleveland Heights
Kim took wonderful care of our two senior cats while we were away, and she also went above and beyond by taking care of a few extra tasks we had requested, like watering our plants. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our home and our cats were in such good hands. We would absolutely trust Kim again the next time we travel. Thanks so much, Kim!
Where do I even begin? We have a 20-year-old senior cat, and we had never trusted anyone else to care for him before. Leaving him was something I was incredibly anxious about, but Alexis made the entire experience so much easier. She was so patient, kind, and gentle with our sweet senior boy. She did an amazing job giving him his medications and always kept me updated after each visit with thoughtful messages and pictures. Honestly, I don’t know who she comforted more—me or my cat! I’m forever grateful for the love and care she gave him while we were away. Knowing he was in such capable, compassionate hands gave me such peace of mind. I’ll admit I’m a bit of a nervous Nelly and very particular, especially when it comes to my cat. Alexis followed every one of my detailed instructions, little tips, and routines without hesitation, and she made me feel completely at ease. I truly can’t recommend Alexis enough. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet as if they were her own, she’s the one. Thank you, Alexis, for taking such wonderful care of our boy. It meant more to us than you’ll ever know.
So fantastic to have Erin able to provide TWICE DAILY insulin medication and playful care of our older diabetic cat Midnight. All the cute photo updates kept us connected to our beloved kitty. We also really appreciated Erin's close attention to learning about Midnight's special needs in advance. Thanks again to Erin!!!
Charlotte was incredibly efficient, always arriving on time and following my instructions. Communication was a breeze; she kept me updated with photos and messages, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loves her! He was happy and well cared for, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Kate did a wonderful job taking care of our young cat, Ruby, while we were away on vacation. She communicated clearly throughout our trip, including letting us know if her arrival times needed to shift. She quickly won Ruby over with plenty of playtime, snuggles, and attention, which gave us real peace of mind. She also went above and beyond to water our plants during the heat wave which we really appreciated. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. We would happily recommend Kate to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter!

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 .

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 Heights 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.

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.
