“It quickly became clear to me that Nicole is a true animal lover at heart, which gave me so much peace of mind while she cared for my fur babies. She kept me updated, shared wonderful photos, and spent genuine quality time with my two cats. I could tell they were well cared for and loved while I was away. So grateful. Thank you, Nicole :)”
About: As an animal lover, I know pets are family—not just animals. I take pride in giving them the same love and attention they get at home. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just extra cuddles, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and stress-free while you’re gone. As an elementary teacher, I have a structured schedule that actually works really well for pet care. I’m available before and after school, in the evenings, and on weekends. During breaks and summers, I have even more flexibility, allowing me to provide extended care, walks, and drop-in visits. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on making them feel loved, safe, and comfortable—whether that’s sticking to their usual routine, giving them extra playtime, or just spending quality time with them. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Kayla did an amazing job watching our dog and taking care of our house while we were away! She sent plenty of pictures and kept us updated. Kayla is reliable and so kind. Our dog loved her !!”
“My pups love Devon! I also foster and she’s up for taking care of 3 dogs if I need her to. She is easy to communicate with, reliable, and provides great care for my pups. Highly recommend!”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I work full time, so evenings during the week work best and my availability is flexible on the weekends. I am more than happy to discuss more! My services will be suited for the clients’ need. I will discuss with you on how to care for pets before the booked appointment. You will know exactly where your pet is at all times.
“Madelyn takes wonderful care of our pup! She provides informative updates and photos. If there are any schedule changes, she communicates them well in advance so we can make other arrangements. Malley loves his visits with her.”
“Brittany was great at communicating with me, especially because my cat is antisocial. I didn’t anticipate Brittany seeing her so she let me know that the food and water were being consumed and she was using the litter box. It made my travels much easier! I’d book with Brittany again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs from all sizes and breeds. I enjoy taking them for walks, playing fetch or giving them all the belly rubs they want! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have helped take care of my friends and families dogs while they are away. Depends on day and time, I can do 3 times a day if needed. I work full time but am available before work and after work Monday through Friday. I am also free Saturdays and Sundays whenever needed. I will always make time for your pets as you are trusting me to watch your loved ones while away. I would always make sure your pets are cared for by feeding them, giving them water and while out for a walk making sure their safety is my top priority. Playing with them with their favorite toys or giving them belly rubs before leaving to get as much energy out as possible!

I am a hairstylist, looking for another income, and whats a better way then to combine my love for animals and exercise then to provide a service for dog owners I would love to take your dog on walks, play with their favorite toys, give them approved snack, and feed them lunch or dinner if needed.
“Gracie is amazing! We will definitely be booking her drop-in services again for our 3 dogs. She came over before our trip to meet our pups and get a run down of their routine. Then at each drop-in visit, we got an update and great photos! Gracie is reliable, trustworthy, and there's no doubt she loves dogs! Five stars! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was able to walk, they are my passion with a career in wildlife rehabilitation in mind! I currently have dogs, cats, snakes, spiders, and a gecko. Working with a variety of animals in my time has allowed me to grasp certain aspects of animals that allow for smoother interactions. I currently work 3 times a week, days depending on schedule. I work with dogs for a living. I’d like to take on clients especially on the days I don’t work for some extra money. I have experience with walking, crating, putting gear on safely, basic training, and much more. For cats I know how to safely get cats into carriers, administer topical and oral medications, basic first aid, noticing concerning behaviors, take care of accidents, scoop boxes, and much more.
“Susan did an outstanding job taking care of Lucy during our time away. She arrived exactly on time for each drop-in visit, communicated clearly and consistently, and kept us well informed throughout. Lucy is a Belgian Malinois with plenty of energy, and Susan handled her confidently and professionally. It was clear Lucy was well cared for and comfortable in her care. We truly appreciated her reliability and attention to detail. I would absolutely recommend Susan to anyone looking for dependable, high-quality care for their pet.”
“Pierre was amazing! I put in a last minute request for Pierre’s drop in services during the holidays and he quickly responded. He sent multiple pictures per visit with my kittens being feed and litter boxes cleaned daily! He even grabbed my packages and placed them inside for me. Thank you, Pierre!”
About: PLEASE READ: I have started my own dog walking and pet sitting business and would like to grow it there rather than on Rover. If you are interested in hiring me, please search on Facebook or Google "Rachael's Dog Walking and Pet Sitting" or message me for the links, my website, or email. You can still read much of my current information here. I worked as a professional pet sitter for one of the biggest pet sitting companies in the Cleveland area for 2.5 years and have done pet sitting on my own since then. I have experience caring for many different types of animals of all ages and sizes. I have taken care of them when the owners were on vacation; feeding, giving medicine, walking, etc. I also do dog walking visits during the day for people who are at work or sometimes still home. I have had my own dogs, cats, and other small animals my whole life. I currently have a very part time remote job as a social media coordinator, and have recently started my own dog walking and pet sitting business and also do occasional freelance graphic design and photo editing. I am mainly looking to work in mornings and afternoons on weekdays, but can occasionally do nights and weekends too. I am available for daily dog walking in cities near Olmsted Falls, and can do occasional pet sitting in farther cities. I have professional experience caring for animals and being in client's homes. Before I worked as a pet sitter, I even cleaned houses for 4 years, while people were away, so I can be trusted in people's homes. I always make sure to hold a dog's leash tight, and make sure no pets get out when I come and go through a door. I also always make sure the door is locked when I leave. I will meet you and your pets before services begin to go over everything so I know exactly what to do and make sure the pets get to know me first.
About: I have had dogs my entire life so I’ve gotten very used to taking care of them and loving all kinds! I’m the person everyone in my family comes to for dog/house sitting while they’re out of town and it’s my favorite thing to do for them. I’m in between jobs right now so I have all the time to care for and play with your dogs/cats! I have a 3 year old son who’s been around dogs since the moment he was born and he’s very friendly. I have two dogs of my own at home but they get along kindly with other dogs. I have a fenced yard and a son who loves to go on long walks!

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 Columbia Station 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.
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 Columbia Station 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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Columbia Station with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
