“Kai’Lee did a great job with my pups. They had a great time with her and she maintained order despite one escape attempt (under the fence) and a nasty stomach bug. They both love her!”
“Angela was great! She was very patient & gentle with my anxious dog during the meet & greet, so I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her! They seemed to get along great during the stay. Angela was good about sending pics & communicating. Would hire again!!”
“Christina was so thorough when meeting my dogs and really took the time to understand their needs. She took great care of them and sent lots of detailed updates, which I really appreciated!”
“Em was fantastic! I loved receiving pictures and daily updates. My cats can be picky about which humans they trust, and I was relieved to know they were acting friendly and felt safe with Em. I’ll definitely be booking again.”
“Octavia took such good care of our 3 pups while my family and I were out of the country. She contacted me with any questions, sent lots of pics/updates, and the house was clean and tidy when we returned. I highly recommend Octavia!”
“I was super pleased with Kaley. She sent me daily updates with photos and was very proactive letting me know that Raven had developed a rash on her ear. She did a terrific job keeping my baby company and also maintaining the house. I would not hesitate to book her again!”
“Nate is hands down the BEST dog sitter I’ve ever had! 5 stars all around with communication, respectfulness, professionalism, compassion, friendliness. I would recommend him to anyone, and I will be using him from now on to dog sit! He put my mind at ease while away by sending frequent updates with pictures and I never once was anxious about being away from my fur babies. I can’t thank you enough for devoting your time and giving the best care to my babies!”
“Avery was super helpful with a somewhat last minute booking. We came back to a happy puppy and got lots of updates and pictures throughout the day:) we will definitely book Avery again in the future!”
“Lori did a very nice job watching our pets while we were on vacation. They were well fed, she took the dogs outside often and watered our plants. She sent pictures of our pets every day and told us how they were doing. She informed us when she was leaving the house for a while and didn't stay away very long. We were impressed how well our chihuahuas liked her. Our dogs don't like very many people....at all. We look forward to having Lori watch our pets when we go on vacation again.”
“If you're like us, we look for care providers with multiple reviews so we have a better idea of who we're hiring. But everyone needs to start somewhere, and this time we decided to give someone a chance who hadn't received reviews yet; boy did we luck out. Jaina did a fantastic job looking after our 80 pound loverboy, Luca. She stayed in our home while we were away five days, and both he--and our home--were well taken care of. He even got a daily walk (in winter, no less!). Jaina is who you want in a sitter: responsive, reliable and kind. She provided daily updates and photos of our dog, too. We would hire her again, and suggest you do too before people catch on and her rates go up.”
About: Hi my name is aaziya and I have over 10 years of pet care experience and I am very flexible. Whether your fur baby is reactive, special needs, or you have specific instructions on how you want them cared for, I do it all! My schedule is very open due to the fact that I just left a pet grooming job where I didn’t feel very much comfortable and couldn’t fit into my day to day life Since I don’t have anything other than getting my son to and from daycare that needs my attention, your pet will have all of my undivided attention to care for all their needs! I also have a very large yard for them to either burn energy or just relax in the sun.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have always loved caring for them! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from Yorkies to Great Danes, and I truly enjoy everything from long walks and playtime to cuddling up with your pup. I’ve also cared for a variety of other pets, including reptiles, birds, and rodents. My experience ranges from caring for young puppies as early as 6 months old to senior dogs with disabilities and pups with severe social anxiety who need extra patience, understanding, and one-on-one attention. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to provide the individualized care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My husband and I are both huge animal lovers, and we would be thrilled to give your pets the same love and attention we would give our own! 🐾 I work from home two days a week, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to fit pet care into my routine. I also go on walks every day and love spending time outside, so having a furry walking buddy is a perfect addition to my day! My husband and I love to travel, which makes it difficult for us to have pets of our own. Because of that, we truly enjoy every opportunity to spend time with animals and spoil them with plenty of love and attention. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, or just a cozy companion to hang out with, I’d be happy to make them part of my daily routine! I want every pet to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re in my care. At a client’s home, I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including their feeding schedule, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected to your pet while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away!
“Devaney is wonderful! She stayed with our 17 year old Havanese for 10 days. He is very skittish and doesn't like anyone but us. She worked with him and got him to relate to her. He has accidents in the house and she cleaned up. When we returned the house was in wonderful shape. She sent pictures and updates every day. I highly recommend her! And she has a great personality and sense of humor!”
“Madi is amazing!! She was on time and followed my instructions carefully, and sent cute pictures while I was away. I would trust her to watch my pets any time!!”
“Aspen was amazing! She was available for a last minute booking and took great care of our dogs. Our dogs took to her immediately! Both can be a little skittish around new people, but within 5 minutes of meeting Aspen, they were asking for belly rubs! I will definitely be a repeat customer!!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in East Cleveland is $50

Devaney took the time to get to know our pets prior to pet sitting for us. She was able to form a positive relationship with our Boerbel, who is very untrusting of strangers. She took excellent care of our dogs, cats, other animals, and house. She sent text updates every day with pictures and videos. We will definitely hire Devaney again, and highly recommend her to others.
Sophie was a great house/pet sitter! She came over for a meet and greet and was very patient with our anxious dog Stevie and ensured both dogs got their medications. We got multiple updates and photos throughout the day and Sophie was responsive to updates/requests. Highly recommend!
Mike was great for my first time ever having a dog/house sitter. Communications were right on time for each visit with photos and his thoughtful questions based on observed behaviors of my dog. She can be high maintenance at times and Mike did great with giving her meds, adjusting her diet when she goes on a “hunger strike,” and intuitively providing her extra care when necessary due to her anxiety and upset stomach. I’d definitely rebook with Mike in the future. Thanks again
Esther took wonderful care of both my cat Oliver and my home while I was away on vacation. I came home to a happy cat and Esther kept me updated on him while I was away. I highly recommend her as a cat-house sitter and will definitely seek her out again when I travel.
Alia was amazing, she made sure to give me daily updates and pictures. She was even willing to add an additional drop by visit when our return time changed to make sure our dogs and cats were properly cared for while my husband and I were away for a week. The house was all cleaned up and she even went beyond what we asked of her!

FAQs for House Sitting - East Cleveland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in East Cleveland on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,325 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Cleveland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred East Cleveland walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in East Cleveland maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 East Cleveland 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
