“Debra did a could drop-in visits on my kitties while my boyfriend and I were away for a few days. She met with us beforehand to chat and see where everything was. She was very warm and friendly, and she came by exactly when she said she would on those drop-in days. Their food and water were topped off when we got home and litter was all cleaned. They were well taken care of- thanks Debra!!”
“Val was great! Excellent communicator, was always there when she said she'd be, and my dog adored her 😊 It's a huge relief knowing my dog was in safe and caring hands, would definitely book again.”
“This is the third time Janet has cared for my current group of kitties, and she’s just fantastic. I always look forward to her recaps and pics when I’m away. They’re such a highlight. Also my current group has a girl who’s a little scared of people. I thought for sure she’d just hide during any visit. Nope. She’s so comfortable with Janet that she’s out during her visits so she doesn’t miss out on pets and playtime.”
“My dogs absolutely love Jesseca! She is amazing!! She even brought my mail/packages in the house because she knew we were out of town. I will continue to have her take care of my babies.”
“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: I’ve had dogs since forever, I love mine more than anything. My experiences dog sitting and cat sitting range from my neighbors and family to taking care of animals on my uncles farm. I love meeting people’s pets so it would be my pleasure to meet more!! My dog Ruby is 15 years old and I love her to death, I can’t imagine her being alone all day. I go to college full time at Cleveland State University. I do play in multiple orchestras as well, but although I’m busy I have time in between classes and in the afternoons/evenings that I struggle to fill! I would love to have a slow morning taking care of a pet, or going on a walk, so I am very flexible. I understand that all pets have their own personality, and honestly the best way to take care of them relies on me getting to know them. The quirks about pets are my favorite thing about them, and I am willing to work with any needs they have. I love spending time with any animal and making sure they feel loved and entertained.
“Katherine is amazing. We have a small zoo and she's cared for them all. Took the dogs on walks, gave treats to the turtles and cared for the kitties like they were her own. We'll definitely always ask her to care for our fur, and scale babies.”
“Daniel was fantastic! He was very communicative throughout the entire booking process and made us feel comfortable from the start. He took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand, which we really appreciated. Sunny and Nala were very well cared for, and the updates and photos he sent while we were away were great. We loved seeing how they were doing and knowing they were in good hands. Daniel was professional, kind, and reliable. We would highly recommend him and would absolutely book with him again!”
About: When it’s time to go outside it’s time. Clean up areas where the pet(s) have pooped @. Please make sure they are trained with handling strangers. Thank you ! Currently, I am currently working part-time after almost a 9 months of unemployment. I have time for pet care services. Just a American putting effort in the American Dream for myself. Since I will take them out to poop, pee & food I’m going to be diligent on that note ! Close & lock doors is a must !

About: I have professional animal care experience of 4+ years working in a dog daycare/boarding facility and in pet stores where I cared for small mammals, reptiles, and fish. I've also had dogs and cats my whole life. New to cleveland area, looking to explore and earn on this side gig! I currently work as a bartender- almost exclusively at night, so my days are very open! The perfect fit for me would be jobs in the early afternoon. With love, kindness, and respect! Animals are living creatures and should be treated as such. That being said I'm aware certain animals will need specific care and would do whatever I could to comply with them :)
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.
“Makenna was reliable and very communicative while I was away. I didn’t have to worry at all about the cats or house and that was great. She was also very flexible with changes that I appreciate.”
“Isabella was fantastic taking care of our pets. Despite some challenges from one of our dogs, she was able to keep them happy and healthy throughtout our trip. She kept us well informed of issues when they arose. Overall, when we returned home it was like we never left!”
“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!!!!”
“Megan was communicative and took great care of our dogs while we were away! We felt completely comfortable having Megan in our home and she was great about checking in when there were questions or concerns.”

This was our first time using Kennedy for our three cats and she did an awesome job caring for them. She was able to get my shy kitty to come out and be social. She is normally afraid when we are gone. She went beyond to do some extra clean up as well. I would highly recommend her services.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Garfield Heights is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,565 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Garfield Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , 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 Garfield Heights. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
