“We could not have had a better experience with Casey caring for our pups! His communication was prompt, he arrived to every visit on time, he sent lots of pics while our dogs were in his care, and was just a rockstar with our three pups. We will definitely reach out to him again and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I have two dogs of my own that my parents rely on me for to help walk, feed, and play with daily. I have taken my dogs to the vet for their check ups and for illness. I also have learned how to take care of my dog who is almost deaf. I’ve also taken care of the neighbors dogs when have gone on vacation! I work a couple days a week, so i have lots of availability. i’m available pretty much every morning and evening for dog walking/house visits. Weekends vary. I have two healthy, loving dogs who love other dogs company. My dogs have retractable leashes that way they can experience a good walk while also being safe. I’ve used crates when my dogs were puppies to help train them.
“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.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities for over 20 years. As a neonatal nurse practitioner, providing attentive, compassionate care is part of who I am, and I bring that same level of responsibility and love to every pet I watch. I’m the proud owner of Kona, my friendly 9-year-old Lab/Shar-Pei mix, and I have two young children who have grown up around dogs and are gentle and respectful with animals. Because of my flexible schedule, I’m available most days of the week and can provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with people, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“Skylar was great with my cat Rudy. He was well taken care of and just hearing him purr in the videos she sent me reassured me he was fine. I highly recommend Skylar to help with your cat or dog. She’s a real pet person!”
“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’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life! I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, and a chinchilla that I’ve taken care of. I currently have two German Shepherds and two cats! I will provide patient, personalized care and treat every pet like my own. I understand that every animal has different needs, routines, and personalities, so I will focus on making them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I am entering summer break and only have track practices, so I have a lot of available time to make visits! You can also reach out any time, even same-day messages! I have a large front and back yard, and the back is also fenced in for extra safety. My dogs at home are also friendly to have a pet friend! If needed, there are also plenty of rooms in my house to separate animals too.
About: I have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I took care of our dog for at least 5 years up until he passed away. I have been learning to train dogs as well. I currently work full time, Monday through Friday, and I have extra time and love to give to dogs that need a place to stay. I have a partially fenced in yard that is on the process of being fixed/finished. I can easily separate dogs if needed. I will provide walks as long as weather permits.
“Alicia was great in caring for our two furbabies. She was very attentive and communicated often during our time away. Will definitely contact Alicia when we need our dogs cared for.”
“Julie took our Sadie out for a potty break and spent time playing with her when we were gone for the day. She sent some pictures, it eased our minds to see that Sadie was being taken care of. We really appreciated it. I would recommend Julie.”
“Lindsey was great! She did a drop in visit with our 13 year old pup, Lily. Lily has separation anxiety, and in the past has been a flight risk. I felt like Lindsey listened to our concerns and was thoughful in her care for Lily. She sent updates and lots of photos. It was comforting to know Lily was in great hands. Thanks again!”
About: I have been taking care of pets for about 8 years now. Whether it be my own dog or my friends dogs, I provide high quality care to each pet I care for. In addition, I potty trained and crate trained my dog, as well as taught her all her fun tricks! I am in college and will be available to care for your pets throughout most of my days due to my classes being spaced out throughout the week. I place the utmost importance not only on pet care but also on respecting pet owners and their instructions. I aim to provide high quality care to each and every pet so that they are safe, healthy, comfortable and happy!

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 Elyria 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 Elyria 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 Elyria 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.
