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!!

About: Hi! My name is Ebony, and I’m a college student pursuing a degree in Veterinary Technology. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and currently have a dog of my own, so caring for animals isn’t just a job… it’s my passion. With my background, I’m comfortable administering oral medications, recognizing changes in behavior, and responding appropriately in emergency situations. Cleanliness and organization are very important to me, and I always make sure your home and your pet’s space are left tidy. I am more than happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you always know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. ❤️ While I attend school full-time , my availability outside of classes is fully dedicated to your pet’s care. I currently offer in-home sitting and walking services so your pet can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their daily routine. I understand how important patience, consistency, and compassion are when it comes to building trust with both pets and their owners. I strictly follow all provided feeding schedules, dietary needs, medication instructions, and routines to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their own home. Thank you for considering me as your sitter ❣️

Kendra did a great job taking care of our cats. And she stepped up to do it at the last minute since we had to leave town for a funeral. She was very pleasant and when we came home to collect the keys from her, the cats were there to greet her. Would recommend for anyone who needs a pet sitter. She loves animals.

About: I have been a pet owner for about four years now and truly have a passion for taking care of dogs and giving them freedom to have fun and be themselves.

I have a closed in gated fence, which allows the pets to have access to roam around handedly at Will I have a true passion for taking care of dogs.

About: I am a current student at the Ohio State university as an animal science and vet technician student. I have always had a passion for taking care of animals and ensure to extend the same care that I have for the animals I treat with your pets! I have worked with small companion animals numerous times as well as large animals so my skills are varied to work with changing circumstances! I also have experience with working with older dogs as I had an older dog for a long time. I am college student attending summer classes so I do have a time confinement in the mornings of some weekdays but I am free for weekends, afternoons, and evenings! A flexible schedule that can work for everyone and ensure comfort for your pet! I have a small unfenced front and backyard in a small, quiet neighborhood. I do not have any other animals in my home so I will ensure the comfortability and safety of your dog(s). I can easily crate your dog if needed as well.

About: I love animals, I’ve had animals in my home all my life; dogs, cats, snakes, reptiles, fish, you name it. I have always felt close to the world so I connect very well with all animals. I’ve had plenty of experience with dogs and cats as well. I’ve taken dogs I’ve just met on private walks and trained them. I also enjoy grooming, the first thing i do when I welcome a new friend is wash them—I enjoy connecting with them and having them nice and clean in my home! I have a one floor home and when I’m pet sitting they are allowed to roam freely. They are allowed on the furniture I dont mind it. Bathroom breaks are every 3-4 hours I love to have a buddy to walk with. I do sit lessons and stay lessons throughout the day with treats for encouragement! Besides that—whatever you want I will do, just let me know. New customers welcome! Promo: https://www.rover.com/sit/aaliys65179 Im a stay at home mom mostly but I have a client I see outside the home part-time until May 28th so I am up from 6am-10pm. I enjoy doing outside activities and I like having a buddy with me. I have a fenced backyard and I just enjoy having a buddy with me walking by my side in my home. I have an open concept home, I like to enjoy relaxing with buddies on the couch but if they prefer outside I am all for it being a consistent option every other hour. Ensures they get fun exercise, a distraction from the fact their family isn’t near, and bathroom breaks freely.

About: I’d love to help out all fellow pet owners! I currently have 3 dogs and one cat who I love dearly, so I’m pretty familiar with pet care. I’d love to share my love for animals and sit your own furry friends. I’m good with puppies, kittens, and senior care. I have one senior dog myself and two dogs who are 3 years old and a 1 and a half year old cat. I’m currently a college student with plenty of time to spend with your furry friends. My schedule is very flexible so I’m willing to watch your pets whenever needed!! I can easily provide any sort of care needed for your pet. Feeding, walking, crating, giving them some love are all easy for me to do. The only experience I don’t have is giving any sort of medication to pets.

About: I’ve taken care of a German Shepherd named Kylo for the past 2 years. I recently stopped due to the owner being able to stay home with him full time. I used to house/dog sit, walk, and help with general care including baths, nail trimming, and very very basic trims. I work 3rd shift Monday-Friday. So I will be available between noon-6:00 PM on those days. I am available between 9AM-5PM on Saturday’s and 9AM-2:00PM on Sundays. I will care in anyway needed. I can provide companion, physical and mental stimulation to your dog, make sure they are fed and hydrated, walked and taken to go potty, along with any other basic task you may want complete.

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!

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.

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.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. At that time, we got a standard poodle puppy (Inspector Gadget) who I fed, walked, played with, and let out before/after school everyday. When he was about 3, we also got a springer spaniel (Sookie) from the shelter who was an absolute angel, and mine and Gadget’s best friend. I always made sure they had what they needed and felt loved! I took care of Gadget until he sadly passed at the age of 14, and Sookie until she passed at the age of 10, so I have experience with elderly dogs as well. My mom recently got a golden retriever puppy who I would visit to walk, feed, and play with occasionally while she is at work. I also have experience with birds and cats. I am currently working as a resident at one of the local hospitals, so my schedule is variable, but by booking me you know that you will get a trusted professional to care for your pets. I am free every other weekend to care for pets, and am generally free in the evenings of weekdays. I have no problem showing any pet love, regardless of size or breed, and will make sure they get the attention and love they need! I am used to big and mid-sized dogs since that’s what I grew up with, so walking large dogs will not be a problem. I am familiar with standard training practices for dogs as well and will adhere to any specific instructions.

Kendra did a great job taking care of our cats. And she stepped up to do it at the last minute since we had to leave town for a funeral. She was very pleasant and when we came home to collect the keys from her, the cats were there to greet her. Would recommend for anyone who needs a pet sitter. She loves animals.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Garfield Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Garfield Heights on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,612 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Garfield Heights. 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 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.

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 Garfield Heights. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% 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 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.
