About: I have owned dogs and cats for 27 years and have learned that each pet is unique and deserving of great love and care. I've trained a puppy, rescued a young dog, given dogs and cats medicine, taken care of an ailing senior animal, gone on long walks and given plenty of belly rubs. I recently left my full-time job to focus on freelancing. This gives me flexibility and lots of time to care for pets. I would like to establish long-term relationships with pets and their owners. If I'm checking in on your pet, I will respect your home as if it were my own. I'll follow your care instructions to the letter, and make sure your pet feels safe and happy. For walks, I'll provide the utmost care to ensure your pet is safe while getting the amount of exercise and outdoor activity they need.
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.
“Jackie was phenomenal. She did a meet and greet at the last minute and was able to watch our fur babies the next day. Great communication and pics of the dogs. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!!”
About: Hi! I'm Harue, and I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. I've cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors, volunteered at local animal shelters, and rescued my own pet parakeets. Getting to know each animal's unique personality is one of my favorite parts of pet sitting! 🐶🐱❤️ I've cared for dogs, cats, parakeets, hamsters, and reptiles, and I love spending time with animals of all kinds. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers quiet company, I'm happy to meet them where they’re at. I have a flexible schedule and am home for most of the day, allowing me to give your pet plenty of attention and companionship. I’ll follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, and any special care needs, while keeping you updated with photo updates along the way! 📸 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would give my own, while following their routines, keeping their environment safe, and creating a calm, stress-free experience. Whether we’re going on walks, having playtime, or spending quiet time together, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. 🐾
“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!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Alexis put us totally at ease leaving our cat in her care. Alexis was kind enough to stop by a few days before to meet us and our cat. Our skittish former-street cat took to her immediately, curled up with her, and Alexis was great at not only feeding her, but providing companionship a lnd many pets/scratches. She sent great Rover Cards and sweet photos. I would 100% use her again!!”
About: I have been dog-sitting/house-sitting since sophomore year of high school, and my customers always have high praise. I ensure your house will remain clean, and your pets happy. I am respectful to your rules for your home and pets, and love to spend time with them! I love nature and willing to take your dog on an adventure during our walk, and I love to run with dogs, so I can ensure a great workout for your pup. I’m very easy-going and super flexible with my time. I hope I can help you and your pets! I own two cats myself, and they're very social, thankfully though since they are cats my time is very flexible. I'm truly looking for something to fill in my time just like any service. I've house sat for all different types of pet situations, with training varying to a lot to none. I want your pet to enjoy my stay and not fear me, and I want to give you peace of mind of that while I'm there.
“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!”
About: I've owned pets since I was a toddler. I'm currently a cat, dog, and bearded dragon owner. I’m an animal lover! I specialize in caring for rescues and abused animals. I also walk and board dogs using the Wag app. I'm a self-employed single parent and entrepreneur. I create my own schedule, so I'm very flexible. I'm available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding your pet/s. I live in a huge single family home with plenty of space. I live close a metro park, so that is where I mostly walk my pet clients. I'm a local handy woman, but prefer caring for animals from the comfort of my home. I have a huge single family home with hardwood floors and also own a few crates to keep multiple boarders separated and safe if necessary. I’m currently available for full-time boardings, sittings, drop-ins, and walks. Taking care of animals and pets brings me great joy and I’m happy to be of service. I have a huge single family home and two fur babies to keep your pet company. I can easily crate your pet when necessary. Pets are supervised 24 hours a day.
“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!!!”
“This is my first time using the app and Kay made me feel so comfortable and has done an amazing job looking after Louie and really tended to any special needs he had.”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Cleveland
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!
Lindsay is the best! I can tell my kitties loved her, because they usually make themselves pretty scarce when they have pet sitters, but Lindsay has tons of photos of them. She also went pretty far out of her way to make a visit happen when an unexpected neighborhood festival made my home pretty tough to get to. Lindsay will really go the extra mile for furbabies!

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 East Cleveland 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.

- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
