Lauren was wonderful with Laila! She was kind, attentive, dependable, and made sure Laila felt comfortable and well cared for. I really appreciated her communication and the peace of mind she gave me while Laila was in her care. I would happily book with Lauren again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs and have experience taking care of both. I love to go on runs with dogs and know how to let them get the zoomies out! I also have a cat of my own that I have been taking care of for the past 6 years and am an expert at convincing cats to take their pills! I would love to help your pet out! I am currently a student, so I have a more flexible schedule. I only have 2-4 hours of class per day, depending on the day. I am available weekends, early mornings, after 4 on weekdays, and mid-day every day. I have a cat of my own who has lived happily with other dogs and cats, but will most likely be separated just in case!

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’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love. I’ve pet sat for neighbors, friends, and family, caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart is that I’m also a registered nurse. My career has made me compassionate, dependable, detail-oriented, and attentive to changes in behavior or health. I have a natural instinct for noticing when something doesn’t seem quite right, and I always prioritize safety and communication. I understand that pets are family, and I promise to treat yours with the same love, patience, and care I would give my own. I currently work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the pets I care for. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, keeping them active, sticking to their routine, or simply giving them companionship throughout the day, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Since I live in the city, I don’t have a fenced yard, but that doesn’t stop my dog from getting plenty of exercise and attention! I have one dog of my own and also frequently care for my neighbor’s dog. We go on regular walks throughout the day, visit nearby grassy areas for bathroom breaks, and enjoy trips to the park just up the street for extra exercise and playtime. I also have a crate available if your dog is crate trained or if you’d like them crated for rest, bedtime, or while I’m briefly away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and, of course, lots of love and attention. My goal is to help every pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their family is away.

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!

About: As a lifelong animal lover I have cared for dogs, cats and even rodents! For the past decade plus I had the honor and privilege to have cared for 2 dogs who lived fun and fulfilling lives to senior age. I am experienced with dogs who deal with reactivity, chronic illnesses, and mobility issues. I have acquired some basic training skills over the years including e-collar training. Please do not hesitate to send a message with details about your dog's specific needs. Together we can create the best care plan possible for your fluffy family members! I work remotely full time from home with a flexible schedule. Throughout my work day I diligently walk, water, feed, and play with any animals under my care. Pet needs can sometimes be unpredictable. My services can be made available to those in need of short-notice pet care. For those in need of pet boarding and short-term pet sitting I have a large fenced yard with plenty of toys, access to potty areas, and open access into my home. There is plenty of space for your dog to be comfortable and receive appropriate mental stimulation. Crate trained dogs are welcome though the majority of my experience is with non-crate trained dogs. I make a point to walk and play with your dog as much as necessary!

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.

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!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - East Cleveland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in East Cleveland on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 .

As of August 2026, there are 2,467 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across East Cleveland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Cleveland. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
