About: I have always loved dogs of all sizes and truly enjoy caring for them. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or making sure your dog feels comfortable while you’re away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important routine, safety, and trust are, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care every time. I grew up with a dog starting in middle school, which sparked my love for working with animals. In college, I regularly dog sat for a variety of dogs, including both boarding and in-home stays, and gained experience with different personalities and needs. While I’m not able to have a dog of my own right now, I love spending time caring for others’ pets. This is my second year in Cleveland, and I’m excited to build connections with local families. It truly brings me joy to care for dogs and make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I currently work as a teacher, and am looking to stay busy during the summer and loving others pets is the perfect way to do so. I work full-time as a teacher, so my availability is primarily on weekends during the school year. In the summer, I’m available daily after 12:00 PM. I love using that time to stay active while providing fun, engaging walks and care for dogs. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority while caring for them. I love learning each individual dogs routine, and preferences. I also ensure that I read closely to any instructions regarding the dogs care. I always keep the dog on a leash to ensure their safety outdoors, and strive to ensure each pet gets the right amount of exercise and rest. I love to play and to pet and rest with the dogs. I will follow the dogs lead and their schedule to ensure the dog is comfortable and happy while you are away. I also love to send pictures while you are away and communicate anything unexpected to ensure you are informed even while you are gone about your pets safety.
“Marti took great care of my two kitties! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a drop in sitter. She was very communicative and helpful. I came home to two happy cat brothers😻”
About: I have been a volunteer at Lake Humane Society for 2+ years, and I also worked on their adoption team for over a year. I have also been pet sitting for friends and family for many years now, and I also own cats and fish!! I am currently available for pet sitting Monday through Friday, and I can also manage some weekends as well, and if needed I can do some holidays! I have experience with dog crate training, experience with giving dogs and cats medication, and I am also able to walk dogs, let them outside in a fenced area, or put them on outdoor leads. I also have lots of experience feeding multiple animals at a time as well.
About: My family has had cats since I was 13 years old and we’ve fostered and found homes for many strays. I adopted my dog when she was 8 weeks old, 8 years ago. I understand the deep love and concern all pet parents have for their babies because I see Juju as my child. I would love to help provide trustworthy and compassionate care for your pets! I also rely on Rover when I’m at work 3 days a week and I’d love to spend my days off helping other pet parents and animals feel safe and supported. I only work three days a week so I have a lot of flexibility. I’m off every other weekend so I have some weekend availability too. I’m happy to feed, walk, play with, cuddle, and care for your pet in any way that you need! I’m also comfortable with administering medication.
“Michael was fantastic with my cat. He took great care to make sure I knew her daily goings on and communication was amazing. I highly recommend Michael!”
About: I've been a dog lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for my own pets has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. My puggle was truly the love of my life and taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and the unconditional love that dogs bring to our lives. I understand how much our pets mean to us because I've experienced that special bond firsthand. I currently have a quirky little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who keeps me smiling every day. He's incredibly sweet, loves attention, and has his own unique personality. Caring for him has given me experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, grooming, and making sure he feels safe, happy, and loved. I've fostered cats briefly a couple times and truly respect their independence. I know every pet is different, and I enjoy getting to know each personality and routine. Whether your dog/cat loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply cuddling on the couch, I'll make sure they receive the same care, attention, and affection that I give my own. I currently work full time from home. I'm able to stop by during the day and can do more extended visits in the evening/weekends. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions so they can stay as comfortable as possible while you're away. I follow feeding schedules carefully, make sure they always have fresh water, provide plenty of exercise and playtime, and, of course, lots of love and attention. In a client's home, I respect both your home and your pet's routine, keeping their environment calm and familiar. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Lindsay is the best cat sitter. She has rolled with various changes to our schedule due to health issues with my cat and communicated quickly and kindly. Highly recommend!”
“Susan is very reliable and really cares for your pet. I really appreciated her efforts in making sure your pet is well taken care of and is a great communicator.”
“India is amazing! Great communication and responsive to a last minute request. I needed their supplies refreshed while I was on a trip and she gave me peace of mind! My cats enjoyed her drop in visit and I would gladly use her again!”
About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking since before I can remember. My family members were all allergic to animals so I was never able to have my own to love and care for. Pet sitting and dog walking was a way to get my animal “fix” without causing any allergic reactions in our household! I also ride horses and have owned and cared for many horses over the past ten years. Currently, I am taking a break from owning a horse but still get to ride occasionally! I do have references available if need be and would be happy to share to whomever is interested. I now have my own dog, Zuri, I rescued her in October 2020! She is the best girl ever and loves her life! I also have fostered for a few different organizations so am well versed in how each dog is different. I love all animals and would love any opportunity to give yours love when you aren’t available to do so! I work from home 4 days a week! So I am able to snuggle and play with the dogs all day! We do several walks a day & utilize enrichment toys. I live in an apartment, it’s big enough to host Zuri and one other dog comfortably. There are a few flights of stairs so would want to make sure your dog is comfortable with that.

Throughout my career, I’ve been dedicated to providing top-tier care for both puppies and adult small breeds, helping them thrive in loving, healthy environments. I have worked extensively with a variety of small dog breeds, including Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Yorkies, Shih Tzus, and Dachshunds. My experience spans everything from basic pet care and feeding to behavior management, training, and health monitoring. I specialize in the unique needs of small dogs, including their dietary requirements, exercise routines, and socialization skills. My approach is centered around building trust and positive relationships with the pets in my care. With puppies, I focus on early socialization, potty training, and establishing consistent routines to set them up for a well-adjusted adulthood. With adult small dogs, I work on maintaining good health, managing behavioral issues, and fostering strong bonds between pet and owner. I’m particularly passionate about understanding the individual personalities of each dog, ensuring they receive personalized care that meets their specific needs. My extensive background in pet care has allowed me to not only enhance the lives of the dogs I care for but also provide valuable advice and support to their owners, helping them navigate the joys and challenges of dog ownership.

I have a fenced in back yard , plenty of toys and activities to keep your pup busy! My home has central air conditioning for hot summer days . I also have a small male shitzu to keep your pup company during their stay .
“Octavia took great care of our pups! Our one dog, Frankie, is very reactive to strangers and a hard sell and she warmed up to her so well! She took the time to make sure Frankie felt safe and comfortable! Both dogs were very happy to have her there! We can’t wait to hire her again!”
“Brittany was wonderful! She was easy to communicate with and very responsive. She treated Astro and Cocoa with lots of love and playfulness, and sent lots of pictures! Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the importance of finding the right caregiver.

I have experience taking care of animals with all sorts of behavioral and medical needs, including animals with aggressive or anxious behaviors as well as those who require medication administration. I pride myself on being able to provide pet owners with the assurance that your furry family members are receiving the attention, love, and care they deserve while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to come by and play with your furry friend! I have the most availability Tuesday- Friday, at any time, with some occasional exceptions being between 5:30-7:00pm. I am traveling the last week of July, from July 24-August 4, and I am leaving for college on August 21. What’s most important to me is that your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for at home. I take note of the individual needs and preferences of each pet, and adjust my energy level to make them feel as loved and comfortable as possible while their pet parent is away. I am more than happy to spend as much time as needed outside or inside, close or at a distance, high or low energy.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Cleveland
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.
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!
Megan helped us check on our 3 golden retrievers while we were away for a long weekend. She sent us photos every time she visited and we really liked how detailed she was on her daily reports. That really helped us feel less worried and relaxed during our trip. When we came back, our dogs were happy and healthy! We highly recommend her!!
Jimena is great! When I first met her for the meet and greet, I knew immediately that I could trust her to provide my 3 dogs and 1 cat with the best possible care over the next four days (while I was out of town). Over those 4 days, whenever she had a question, she did not hesitate to ask. She also provided me with updates, including pics, after every visit. When I arrived back, everything was very clean and orderly. No complaints whatsoever. Will definitely ask her back the next time I have to travel.
Brittany was fantastic! She was so thorough and sent great updates and photos for each visit - I was able to relax on our trip knowing that she had everything handled. This was our first trip away from our recently adopted dog, so I was a little nervous about how she would do, but she warmed up immediately to Brittany (which was impressive!) and I could tell by all the photos that she was relaxed and happy. Will absolutely be booking with Brittany again!

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.
