About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and I have an 18 year old pup at home! I’m very passionate about the quality of life for our furry friends, and can’t wait to meet yours! Safety and fun are my main priority. I’ve transitioned to pet care full time! If you’re looking for someone to spend extended periods of time with your furry companion, I’m your girl! On top of house sitting, I’m also available for walks and drop in visits. I always make sure to follow instructions left by owners as closely as possible. I want you and your pet to feel comfortable and at ease with my care! I do my best to keep dogs exercised as needed so you have a sleepy pup by the end of the day.
“Maureen is wonderful! Communicative and friendly, she took great care of our girls while we were out of town. Writes adorable updates for them too which was very appreciated.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and James made the entire process incredibly easy. Before I even booked, he took the time to explain how everything worked and answered all my questions, which helped me feel comfortable right away. During the first week of appointments, he continued to check in, guide me through the app, and make sure I knew what to expect. He visits three days a week to help socialize my very grumpy, very particular cat, and he’s been so patient with her. He gives her space when she needs it, tries gently to engage when she’s willing, and always makes sure she’s fed and cared for. He’s flexible, kind, and clearly committed to helping her warm up at her own pace. The photos he takes are great. They always capture her personality and the fun notes he leaves on each report card make the updates something I look forward to. His consistency and care have made a real difference, and I’m grateful to have found someone I trust.”
About: I've been an animal person my entire life. I grew up helping pet-sit the neighborhood dogs, and my family loved a rescue German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix from the time I was 10 (she was 2) until she was 15 - she watched us grow up and even visited my college house. As an adult, my heart belonged to January, a border collie/American Staffordshire terrier mix I brought home in my late 20s after seeing her story on the news. She was an energetic, clever puppy who taught me patience, consistency, and the value of positive training. We had 13 wonderful years together before she passed in November 2025. Losing January left a hole in my routine and my heart, and I’m not quite ready to adopt again - but I’ve found real joy and healing in caring for other people's pets. I've recently house-sat and hosted dogs, cats, and birds for friends and family, from puppies and kittens to seniors on medications with special needs. That experience, plus a gentle nudge from the people who suggested Rover, is what brings me here. I've used the same trusted vet since I was a kid and know the ropes - comfortable administering medication, contacting the vet, or getting emergency care if needed. Your pet will be loved, watched closely, and cared for like one of my own. I work a hybrid schedule: two days at home (typically Monday and Friday) and three 8-hour days in an Avon Lake office (Tuesday-Thursday). My schedule is flexible and easy to swap these days. I can use my noon lunch break for midday walks, potty breaks, and playtime if you're within 5-10 miles of my location. I’m available in the evenings after work for walks, feeding & visits. I'm also happy to water plants, bring in mail, and handle other small house-sitting tasks. I live in a cozy Lakewood duplex on the first floor with a front yard and porch that dogs (including my former dog and the neighbors’ dogs) love to lounge on. I have a yard stake leash available for safe outdoor time. I already have bowls, beds, leashes, and other supplies, so your pup won't need to travel with a pile of gear if you don’t want to. I can board up to two dogs at a time -any size, any friendly mix - but I don't board cats in my home (happy to care for them at yours).
“I have a very energetic 7 month old bernese moutain dog who loves to jump on you. Sirena was very patient and kind with him but also stern. He needs a little structure.”
About: I grew up with dogs my entire life and started watching dogs for family and friends while in college and couldn't have my own. I've enjoyed watching pets for my loved ones and now that I am in a house and working remotely I want to be able to provide my pet care experience to more fur babies. While the majority of my experience is with dogs I've also taken care of cats, fish, anoles, bearded dragons, rabbits, chinchillas, and hedgehogs. I'm open to caring for all sorts of animals and I'm able to be flexible with your needs. I work outside the house part time so when pets are with me they are my first priority and I only accept pets when I know I have enough time to give them all the attention they need. I have caged animals that I let out when I can supervise them so they house is animal proofed and anything potentially harmful is locked away. I have baby gates that can be put up to keep puppies/ elderly dogs from falling down the stairs. My back yard is enclosed on 3 sides by fencing and would be watched and leashed at all times when outside.
About: Hi! I’m Colleen, and I know exactly how much trust it takes to leave your feline family members in someone else’s care. As a proud pet parent to a bustling crew of four cats, Anubis, Momo, Tigger, and Vader, I am incredibly attuned to the unique personalities, quirks, and needs of our feline companions. My true passion and expertise lie with cats. Whether your pet is a playful kitten who needs to burn off energy, a food motivated lounger, or a shy rescue who prefers quiet companionship from a distance, I adapt my approach to make sure they feel safe and loved on their own terms. What I Offer: Feline Expertise: From immaculate litter box maintenance and precise meal times to providing interactive play and chin scratches (only if they’ll allow it!). I am very comfortable reading subtle feline body language. Peace of Mind: I am highly organized, detail oriented, and communicative. You can expect frequent updates and plenty of photos of your kitties having a peaceful, stress free time while you’re away. I am currently serving the Lakewood area and would love to meet you and your cats to see if we're a perfect match!
“We are so glad we found Megan on Rover. She has watched our 2 kitties multiple times and we are always grateful knowing they are in good hands when we are away. She is caring, professional and sends great photos & notes!”
“Shandra was fantastic. She did a wonderful job checking on our cats for us and giving nice updates. It’s the best Rover experience that we have had. We plan to work with Shandra next time we’re out of town.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats for as long as I can remember. I’ve helped take care of two very special corgis as well as my roommates bunnies. I’m referred to as the buncle (bunny uncle) when they’re left in my care I usually work mornings but that could change depending on the week, leaving my afternoons free. I will work with you, I’m pretty flexible and work something out that fits your fur babies needs ❤️ My cats are indoor. I have an apartment, it’s a duplex, on the top floor. If your cats don’t like other cats? No problem, they won’t interact. I cater to your cats needs so that way they feel safe and happy.
“Christabel was excellent. She responded quickly to my initial inquiry and kept me informed throughout the visit period. I received pictures twice a day and saw my cat becoming progressive more and more comfortable with her. The final nap on her lap melted me! Christabel is responsible, caring, and considerate. Highly recommend.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Linndale
Stephanie went above and beyond in caring for our cats. She checked in on them exactly as requested and always sent us photo updates, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, she had even left us a thoughtful little gift. We highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for someone who is not only wonderful with animals, but also kind, reliable, and personable.
We’ve been using Bethany for a few years now. She is gentle, kind, trustworthy and competent. I recently had surgery and couldn’t walk my dog, so we called upon her to help. Not only does Max love seeing Bethany arrived for his walks, but her kind, gentle, nature was a comfort to me since I wasn’t feeling well. I cannot recommend her enough! 5 stars isn’t enough!
Veronica has watched mittens a few times and I couldn’t recommend her enough! She is incredibly knowledgeable about cats and understands that every cat has their own personality, needs, and comfort level. She does a wonderful job making sure Mittens is happy and comfortable, and I always feel completely at ease knowing he’s in her care. It’s such a comfort to have someone I can genuinely rely on when I’m away. She is dependable and I know mittens is in very good hands!
Christine was fantastic. I originally signed up for 4 checks. She was very punctual, getting there exactly at the times I requested. She also agreed to adding 2 more drop in times so I could extend my weekend. She sent pictures each time of my fur babies! My pets were taken care of! I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs
My partner and I just returned from a long weekend, and it was the first time ever leaving our little 13.5 yr old girl with anyone but very close friends. Stephanie and Michelle not only put my mind at ease during the initial meet-n-greet; I received daily updates, with photos. I cannot stress enough the anxiety I felt leading up to the trip. I needn’t have worried. I will book Stephanie and Michelle every time. Highly recommend.
Jackie was absolutely wonderful! She communicated clearly, she was able to medicate my cat (who is really difficult to medicate), and she went above and beyond in caring for my 3 boys. She clearly cares about animals and my boys loved having her as a pet sitter. 10/10 would recommend, will be booking with her again!
We couldn’t be happier with the care our boys receive with TJ! He is reliable, kind and clearly loves treating our pups like they are his own! He cares to understand our boys personalities and keep us updated after every walk. His report cards are personal, funny and so well written! It’s very reassuring to know our babies are in such great hands! I’m afraid our dogs might start loving TJ more than us!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
