“Abby did an amazing job! She is prompt with her responses and is an excellent communicator. She kept us updated with our dogs and our home and even helped troubleshoot our AC after a brief power outage. She was patient and understanding through it all! She took excellent care of our home and left it cleaner than we left it haha. I would highly recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Had a few bumps and adjustments, but Jessica was very responsive and took care of my pups and home while I was away. I have two senior dogs and Jessica was great in ensuring they got their medicine in time and had plenty of potty breaks. They enjoyed her stay!”
“Kyrah is an expert with my dogs. Both of my dogs love her so much. My little pit loves playing with Kyrah to get her energy out. I am grateful she can watch my dogs for me.”
“This is the second time Jasmine has stayed with our pets in our home, this time for a full week. Everything looks just as it was when we left, mail and packages are stacked neatly by the front door, and the pets were clearly well taken care of. We communicated throughout the week, and I received several photos of each “kid.” I am so happy to have found someone like Jasmine, as I can now travel with the peace of mind that my pets are in excellent hands.”
About: When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a vet. Nature, animals, and being active have always been a part of my life. I became a Fitness Professional who believes health & well-being are fundamental for humans AND for animals. I'm grateful for all LIFE and that shows in the way I embrace energy , the way I love to run & play myself, and that's what I provide to those that are under my care!! Security is a priority, water, food, a warm & comfortable shelter, a place to expand energy & many ways to stimulate interests are all I have to offer to your dog. I'm also patient - which I think is important because we all need time to learn & be understood.
“Nora was amazing!! She followed my instructions and I can tell my pup had a great time. She was on time and such a kind person. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Lori did a wonderful job petsitting my cat and 2 dogs for 4 days. She gave the dogs their meds, exercise, and regular potty breaks. She communicated updates with photos each day, which I greatly appreciated. I will definitely call on her again.”
About: My Personal Approach & Passion for Pets My genuine love for animals is what drives my pet care style. I am patient, trustworthy, and naturally observant, making it easy for me to connect with pets of all temperaments. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a task; it is about providing a warm, low-stress environment where your animals feel entirely safe, happy, and treated like family while you are away. What Sets Me Apart:I offer a highly adaptive environment for all pets and life stages, including dogs, cats, and puppies. I easily handle the high energy and training support needed for playful youngsters, as well as the gentle comfort, slow pace, and strict medication schedules required for senior companion animals. I customize my daily routine to mirror yours, ensuring your pet enjoys a seamless transition with plenty of interactive play, cozy naps, and affection. Pet care is the main focus of my daily routine because I work from home full-time. This flexibility allows me to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks every 2 to 3 hours, and interactive playtime throughout the day. My weekly schedule is highly consistent, meaning your dogs, cats, or puppies will enjoy a reliable routine with plenty of companionship and zero long periods spent alone. I create a safe, pet-proofed environment where your dogs, cats, or puppies are treated like family. They have full access to comfortable resting spots, fresh water, and supervised play. I follow your exact feeding schedules, crate routines, and potty windows to keep their days consistent and stress-free. In Your Home (Drop-Ins/Sitting): I respect your space while prioritizing your pet's comfort. During visits, I handle feeding, refreshing water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and administering any required medications. I make sure to include plenty of quality playtime or belly rubs, and I always send you photo updates so you know they are safe and happy.
“Jessica was amazing with my dogs. They were well take care of and she took the time to play with them and give them love and attention. I will definitely ask her to watch them again if I need a sitter and I highly recommend her”
“Emma was fantastic! She went above and beyond to take care of our girls. She brought them toys and was great at communicating on a daily basis. I would definitely recommend her and we plan on using her again for our pet sitting needs.”
About: What sets me apart is that I truly care about getting to know each pet as an individual. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. every animal has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I want them to feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to give your pets the extra attention they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I also love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. My goal is simple: for your pets to have a fun, comfortable experience and for you to feel completely confident knowing they’re being cared for. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m dependable, organized, and enjoy making time to give pets the attention and care they need. I’m happy to work walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and cuddles into my schedule while following each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I plan ahead so I can be consistent and present during each visit, rather than rushing through care. I also make time to send pet parents updates and photos, helping you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I like to think of pet sitting as stepping into a pet’s world without disrupting it. I pay attention to the small details—their favorite spot to nap, the sound they make when they want attention, the toys they ignore, and the routines that help them feel at ease. My goal is to make your absence feel as uneventful as possible for them. During each visit, I’ll follow your instructions carefully while adding plenty of patience, playtime, affection, walks, meals, fresh water, litter box care, and whatever else your pet needs. I won’t treat the visit like a quick checklist; I’ll take the time to notice how your pet is doing and respond to their personality and mood. I’ll also leave your home even better than I found it and keep you updated with thoughtful messages and photos—not just proof that I stopped by, but little glimpses of how your pet is spending their day.
About: Hello and welcome! I'm Heather, but I go by Xel (pronounced •zel•) and it's nice to meet you! (Pronouns are he/him, thank you in advance if you use them! ♡) I have owned more dogs and cats (as well as a ferret, lizard, fish, and a spider and have handled various others) than I can count through the years (I'm 40 and we've had a LOT!). Everything from domestic shorthair to Bengal-mix and Schnauzers to German Shepherds. I have house-sat for both friends and family for many years (short and extended!) and I have administered medicine in pill form, as well as inhaler (would be willing to learn injections if necessary). Our oldest cats have lived 18 years, and I currently own four cats (all rescues, aged 2 to 16). Our oldest dogs have lived 15+ I believe, but it's been a long time since owning one (my parents are disabled). I have done a bit of training with dogs and cats alike, but I am not a professional. I'm HIGHLY flexible (PLEASE do not go by the Rover calendar, as I have weekly clients outside of Rover), so if you would like to know more, feel free to reach out! If you've made it this far, have a lovely day! ♡ I'm available at a moments' notice the majority of the time! This includes overnights, emergencies, and short/extended stays. As long as there is clear communication, I'll do my best to aid in any situation, even if it's within the hour! ♡ For our own cats, our oldest, Max, has to be fed separately from the others, as he needs a higher calorie diet than the others. All of the cats are treated with flea medication and I clean multiple litter boxes several times a week. For friends and family, I have had feeding schedules for both dogs and cats, ranging from custom mixed and weighed portions to simply making sure the auto-feeders/fountains are kept clean and filled. My best friend's dog gets playtime and outside time (he has a runner and a ton of toys to play fetch with). My Aunt's cat would need constant watch, as he needed an inhaler if he walked too far or his anxiety flared. I'm also open to doing light chores, so feel free to reach out with any and all questions! Thank you for your consideration! ♡
About: My love for pets is unmatched! I have had pets all my life growing up! I am here to help you in your time of need!! I currently work on a hybrid schedule, which allows me flexibility in my work schedule week to week. I work 2-3 days from home each week. I do not currently offer this service. I am open to the idea, and would consider certain situations/ instances. Let’s chat and see what we could work out!
About: I have 20 years of experience with dogs. My mom raised them. I have one dog and I went through dog training with her. She’s fixed and microchipped. I’m currently a stay home mom, so I will be with your dog 24/7. I will be able to tend to their needs all day. I have a fenced in yard and two sweet dogs to keep your baby company. Mine see the vet for updates on shots, medicine, etc
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for many years and truly love being around animals. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, including puppies and senior pets. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I treat every pet as part of the family and always follow the owner’s feeding, medication, and care instructions carefully. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends, for boarding and pet care. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving home environment and carefully follow each owner’s feeding, walking, medication, and daily routine instructions. I always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for just like they would at home.
About: With an extensive background of both child & pet care, making loving & genuine connections are important to me. I’m very detail oriented & attentive! I enjoy adventures outdoors & finding new ways to have fun at home too. I’ve had my own pets for years & always enjoy spending time with animals :) i’m currently working part time Monday to Friday but still available for weekends & weekday mornings or nights. I will have more open availability in June & July. I can easily follow routines, spend quality time with pets, & keep the home in shape to ensure a safe & comfortable environment for long term care!
About: I’m vigilant and will keep your pup safe on a walk, will make sure they have time to do their business, and allow them to stop and smell the roses along the way. I work from home and love dogs so this is perfect opportunity for me to earn a little extra money and give a little extra love. I am used to watching dogs that need constant supervision. My husky required constant supervision during his puppy months and is now potty trained and the best boy.

Kory was very reliable, communicative and did a great job watching both our home and our dachshunds. She followed our instructions and the house was clean when we came home. I am VERY protective and particular when it comes to having someone watch my dogs but Kory did a fantastic job. I highly recommend her services!
Lexi did a great job watching our pets and home while we were away. She was very communicative, kind, and made sure both animals were well taken care of. Everything went smoothly and we felt comfortable knowing our pets were in good hands. We’d definitely trust her to watch them again!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Hiram walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Hiram maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Hiram 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hiram. 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.
