“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 class is dedicated to providing attentive and dependable care for your pet. I currently offer in-home sitting and walking services so your pet can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their daily routine. I’m also currently offering doggy daycare in my home! ❣️ During a typical daycare visit, your dog can enjoy: -Several walks around the neighborhood -Nature walks -Supervised playtime and enrichment -Playdates with my dog, Journei, when appropriate -Plenty of affection, attention, time to relax and lots of treats (with owner’s permission, of course!❣️) Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my priority. Before booking daycare, I recommend a meet-and-greet to ensure our dogs are comfortable together. 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 ❣️

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: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds since I was 10 years old. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I also have hands-on experience giving medications and vaccinations from my time working as a veterinary assistant. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets both inside and outside the home and have experience with boarding, dog walking, medication administration, and in-home visits for feeding and watering. Every animal I care for quickly becomes part of my extended family, and I truly enjoy every moment spent making them feel safe, loved, and spoiled. I currently work from home, giving me plenty of time to provide attention and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is flexible and is very convenient for those who may need a little extra attention. My fenced yard offers space to play, and my two friendly dogs are always ready to welcome a new friend. If needed, I can also easily crate your dog for comfort or routine.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. Since 2008, I've volunteered at a local animal shelter, walking dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I've also provided trusted dog sitting for family and friends over the years, treating every pet like they're part of my own family. I'm passionate about animal welfare and believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and lots of love. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I'll make sure your furry family member feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs who are very calm to keep your pup company also. My husband works from home and I too am home mostly. It will be very rare when your pup is left alone in our house and if it is the case I am comfortable crating or leaving your pup to have the run of the house if that is what you would prefer. I have a neighborhood filled with sidewalks where many, many dogs walk so the sniffing is a must! I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs who are very calm to keep your pup company also.

About: I am the person at a party that hangs out with the pets of the house instead of socializing. I have pretty much always had a dog in my house. I am currently my dog’s secondary care giver but during the day I become the primary. I currently work a part time job that takes up my time after 4:30pm on week days and around 5:30-11:00 am on weekends. My Sunday’s will be free after the 27th though I can easily crate your dog if needed, I am pretty cuddly and also love playing with dogs. I am also an avid hiker and love long walks.

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 grew up around dogs and have a heart for them. I love them and will take great care of them like I do my own fur baby. They are our family forever!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I am teacher, so I am currently on summer break from school. This allows me to have some extra time to walk your dog, check in and let my dog make some new friends with your fur baby! Our fur baby has a crate and a warm, loving home where she is spoiled rotten! I would do the same for your pup to make sure they receive the best care possible.

About: Growing up I’ve always loved animals, As a child I would rescue stray dogs and provide food, care and shelter. I helped many pets get back to there homes also. My dream was to become a veterinarian, though I took a different route my love for animals never left and I still operate in a field of care. The Different pets I had where birds , fish , turtles, rabbits , dogs and cats. I’ve always prided myself on knowing the intricacies about the different breeds of animals and what makes them special or unique and what they require to be healthy and happy. Though I’ve had many breeds of animals I know I still have much to learn but one day I aspire to open a shelter or nonprofit organization for pets in need of a loving home. Trusting your animal with me I can Guarantee there safety and protection but also ensure that in my home will be equally as loved. I’m familiar with grooming techniques, administering shots for puppy’s and medicines a dog may require. I can also make sure that anything you may be teaching your pet will be carried out while in my care or any schedule you may have your dog on will be implemented also. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and walk then 4/5 times daily. Two long walks and two short walks and extra if the weather is nice or we are outside taking adventures. I prefer evening drop offs and pickups. I care for pets often. This is something I genuinely love to do. I like to follow the instructions owner give when taking care of their pets

About: I intentionally take one dog, or one dog family, at a time because I want every pup staying with me to receive the attention, care, and love they deserve. ❤️ I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. They’re family, and you want to know they’re not just being watched. You want to know they’re being cared for, understood, and loved. That’s exactly what I try to provide. Your dog gets to stay in a comfortable home environment, become part of our routine, and receive plenty of individual attention instead of being one of several dogs competing for a sitter’s time. ❤️ Dogs of All Ages and Needs One of the things I especially love about caring for dogs is getting to know what makes each individual dog comfortable and happy. I’ve had dogs throughout my life, including senior dogs, so I understand that not every pup needs the same kind of care. Some dogs want to play all day, while others are happiest curled up beside you. Some need extra patience and reassurance, while others just want to know when dinner is coming. I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs and dogs who need a little extra help, including following feeding routines, administering oral medications, and keeping up with individual care instructions. If your dog has medication, supplements, mobility limitations, a specific feeding schedule, anxiety, or simply needs a little more patience and attention, I’m happy to work with their normal routine. My goal is to make their stay feel as familiar and comfortable as possible. 🏡 What Your Dog’s Stay Looks Like: Because I keep boarding intentionally small, I can give your dog the individual attention that can be difficult to provide in a busy boarding environment. Depending on your dog’s personality and routine, their stay may include: 🐶 One on one attention and companionship 🛋️ Couch cuddles and cozy naps 🎾 Playtime and enrichment 🌳 Supervised outdoor time 🥰 Lots of affection and reassurance 🍖 Meals, treats, and supplements according to their normal routine 💊 Medication administration when needed 🛏️ Comfortable sleeping arrangements 📸 Regular photos and updates for you I’m happy to follow the routines you already have at home. The more I know about your dog, the better I can care for them. 🐾 Why One Dog at a Time? I’m not trying to fill my house with as many boarding dogs as possible. I chose to keep my boarding small because I want to actually know the dog I’m caring for. I want to know their personality, their favorite things, their quirks, what makes them nervous, how they like to sleep, what their normal routine looks like, and what makes their tail start going a mile a minute. That also means I can give extra attention when a dog needs it, whether that’s an energetic play session, a quiet afternoon, an older dog who needs to take things slower, or simply someone to sit beside them when they miss their family. 🐕 Meet Kenobi: Of course, no stay at our house would be complete without Kenobi, my 4 year old yellow Lab and resident Buddy. Kenobi is goofy, affectionate, laid back, and absolutely convinced that every couch in the house belongs to him. He’s always excited to make a new friend and loves having another dog around, but your dog is still the VIP. 🐾 A Little About Me: I’ve always had a huge love for dogs, especially Labs. My dogs have been an incredibly important part of my life, and caring for them has taught me that dogs aren’t just pets. They each have their own personalities, needs, routines, and ways of communicating. That’s what I love about boarding: getting to know the dog, not just watching the dog. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pup is somewhere safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. And yes, I’ll probably send you entirely too many pictures. 📸 My goal isn’t simply to give your dog somewhere to stay. I want them to feel like they’re spending a little time at their second home. ❤️ 🐶 One dog at a time. 🏡 One comfortable home. ❤️ Personalized care for every pup. Because your dog deserves more than somewhere to stay. They deserve to feel at home. I am currently working part-time for a real estate agency as an admin. I can work from home or in the office so my schedule is flexible. My dog is on a routine from walks to feedings and I do my best to stick to it everyday. I will always be prompt and timely to make sure your pets stay on schedule as well.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs growing up as well as friends dogs over the years. I walk / hike a lot and love being outside, if your dogs are comfortable at parks I’d love to take them out ! My friends and family have relied on me a lot for holidays and special occasions or to just check in while they work to take them on a walk or for some pets / play time. I always send photos for updates on how the fur babies are doing during our visits :) I’m very reliable and have a flexible work schedule that I know 2-3 weeks in advance. I’m always looking forward to meeting new people and their animals ! I do also work another job, but I know my schedule 2-3 weeks in advance and have breaks to come and check on pets also! I don’t care for any other animals at my home besides my own cats! But I always come and meet everyone beforehand and get a run down of everything I’ll need to know for the time I’m watching them!

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.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Maple Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Maple Heights is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 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 2,577 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Maple 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 Maple 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.
