“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 was great! She went above and beyond for our cats and even worked with our two new additions - one who is absolutely terrified and still learning to trust. She sent us complete updates, which was hugely appreciated given that I'm an anxious Mama leaving my babies for the first time in probably 10 years. She even fed our plecco without being asked. All of our cats, even the shy ones, were receptive to her. She's got good cat mojo! :)”
About: Hello! I am a proud Clevelander and lover of the outdoors. I was previously on Rover as a regular dog-sitter and dog-walker, and looking to pick it up again as my schedule has become flexible. I loved caring for others’ dogs and meeting their needs when their pawrents were out of town or at work! I now live with my husband in a house with two pups of our own, a 8-year-old miniature poodle named Charlie and a 13 -year-old welsh terrier named Prim. I’m available for dog walking during the workweek! I have a flexible schedule these days and would be happy to walk your dog during the weekday. I always approach dogs slowly and allow them to sniff me first. On walks, I allow them to set their own pace. Then, I make sure they are comfortable and settled before I leave.
“Octavia saved us with a no-notice booking after one of our boys decided he would rather chase snowflakes instead of going "potty' before we had to leave for work lol. She was prompt with her response and was incredibly flexible. The boys also love her!”
“Takia has been absolutely amazing! She checked in on my dog for 5 days and always sent multiple photos daily with paragraph updates. My dog needed oral meds daily and she was able to give with no issue at all! She even added cuddles with my pup as a cherry on top! Thank you Takia for the kind loving care towards my best friend. We will definitely be returning customers 🐶❤️”
About: Reliable Care for Pets of All Kinds I offer in-home pet sitting tailored to your pet’s routine and personality. Services include feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box or yard clean-up, medication administration if needed, playtime, and regular updates while you’re away. My goal is to keep your pets comfortable, safe, and stress-free in their own home. I have experience dog and cat sitting for family and neighbors! I am a student so on weekdays I will only be available after 4pm but most weekends I am totally free! My nightly routine consists of making sure my pets are fed and taken care of and I always make sure they are happy and healthy! I know some animals need the extra care and how important it can be, so if there are any special instructions for a pet I always make sure to follow those to the letter!
“Riya was wonderful with our two cats and dog! We made a lot of special requests to keep all of our pets happy and Riya was happy to help with everything we asked! She clearly cares a lot about animals and we are lucky to have found her!”
About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m Taylor a lifelong animal lover who truly believes pets are family. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, long walks outside, or making sure mealtimes are just right, I’ll treat your furry child like my own. I know how important it is to feel at ease when you’re away, so I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos, messages, and check ins. Being around animals brings me so much joy, and I’d be honored to give yours all the care, playtime, and attention they deserve. Can’t wait to meet your best friend! 🐶❤️ I work night shifts so I’m available during the day while you’re at work. My schedule varies day wise but I always have my days free!! I care for them as I would my own. Watching your dog is just as beneficial to me getting to spend time around what I love most.
“Kacey took excellent care of my two cats when I was gone and went above and beyond what I would expect from a sitter. I would definitely hire again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring cat sitter.”
“Halie is an exceptional person and sitter!! We are so appreciative of her kindness to our 4 rescue cats. They all loved her and that’s saying a lot as one of our babies is super duper skittish. Cat moms and dads- totally book with Halie! So grateful for her and so happy to have the peace of mind that comes with complete trust of your fur babies when you go out of town!! 10/10!! Thank you so much Halie!!!!”
About: Does your dog like nature walks or is it more of a structured walk play type of animal? I can provide both. We can take long walks outdoors or we can find an area that is more city like and spend some time walking around. I have over 20 years experience caring for dogs. I have kids and treat my pets like my children they will be very loved. I have an open schedule I can work from 6am to at least 9 pm. I do not have a preference on the type of dog as I have owned from toy to giant and can handle them without any problems. We will play catch, run, and will provide obedience training at owners request.Will provide toys. DOES NOT PROVIDE CAT SERVICES HIGHLY ALLERGIC!!! I am currently self employed so I can provide all the love to your pups, right now I have a lot of love to give your baby. I do currently offer overnight services. If client wants dog to play in their personal yard I will follow the direction provided by the owner.
About: I currently have a Labrador Retriever and a cat, and before them I raised a golden retriever who lived to 11. I’m close to the MetroParks, so even without a fenced yard there’s plenty of opportunity for long walks and fresh air. I believe a calm dog is a happy, well‑behaved dog, and I make sure every pup gets the exercise and attention they need. I know it can be stressful leaving your dog in a new environment. My goal is to put your mind at ease so you can fully enjoy your vacation or event. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing. I’m dedicated to making animals feel at home—just like I hope for my own pets when I’m away. I work from home three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks and attention throughout the day when the weather is nice. I’m also home on weekends, so your pets will have consistent company and care. I have a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog easily if needed. I am in an apartment, but there’s convenient side walks and paths for taking bathroom breaks multiple times per day.
About: I am a huge animal lover; I’ve had pets my whole life and know how much a routine matters to them, especially during a stressful time apart from their family. I’ve cared for a diabetic dog, giving insulin shots three times a day for years, and also babysat a diabetic cat — so I’m comfortable with medication schedules and special-needs care. I’m an active person who treats every fur baby like they are my best friend because that’s what they deserve! I have a flexible schedule and work from home Mondays and Fridays, so those days are perfect for midday walks or potty breaks — I can easily fit your pup into my schedule without rushing. On weekends, I’m open to house sitting or home visits, giving your pet consistent, attentive care while you’re away. I don’t board pets at my own home, so all care happens at your house, keeping your pet in their familiar, comfortable environment. During home visits or house sits, I follow your routines closely for feeding, walks, and medication, and I’m experienced with special and elder pet needs. I treat your home and pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
About: To me, every pet is a noble creation of nature we should treat with respect and compassion. I believe every pet should live a full life of happiness and fun, and I treat all pets the way I treat my own. I work from home all week, so I always have extra energy at the end of the day to go out. It's a perfect opportunity to get out and enjoy the day while helping a pet have some time and exercise. I don't currently have a home great for boarding dogs as my yard is too small, and my house has a feisty cat as well.
“Quincy loves Ellen so much! He always gets soooo excited to see her! Ellen is responsible and very communicative! Whenever she watches him, I can trust that he is in good care!! ❤️❤️”
“Susana was great! We have a very elderly dog with a lot of issues and Susana did not hesitate to accept the booking and did a great job. She communicated well and problem solved when our pup was having some issues. Thank you for caring for Mitsi!”
“I needed help last minute. Savannah was more than willing to help and responded quickly. She took tons of pics of my boy and adjusted to our needs. I will be contacting her again.”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Garfield Heights 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 Garfield Heights 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 .

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 Garfield Heights with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
