About: I have has pets since I was 5 years old. Dogs of all ages and sizes, cats, fish, and reptiles! I enjoy caring for all living creatures, even snakes and spiders! I am working part time, mainly Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights so I have LOTS of availability during the week days and nights to take care of your pets! I have many years of experience with on leash and off leash walking, fenced and open yards, and crating. I have a lot of experience with dogs that have been through extreme trauma, so I can easily adapt to their specific needs and routines so that they are safe and well taken care of!
About: I grew up with dogs. I can groom, bathe, walk, and clean up throw up. I have been relied on by friends and family to let their dogs out and feed them while they are out of town. I am currently a college kid searching for an internship, so my days are wide open! I tend to go on walks during the day, so bringing along a furry friend would be great company. I will follow the directions given to me so your dog will be comfortable with a stranger entering their house. I am great with boundaries.
“Brittney is truly amazing. From making sure the animals were comfortable with a meet-and-greet, to making sure that all dietary and special needs were considered. Even with the typical NEOH snowstorm, Brittney made sure my babies received the best care. I will be rebooking again!”
“This is the first time we have used her and she was amazing! One of my cats is very shy and loved her from the beginning. We were out of town for quite a while and I never worried once. The pictures she sent daily proved they were happy. I highly recommend her.”
“I had a great experience with Elizabeth. I had her dogsit in my home over the holidays, and I left feeling assured that everything would be handled without worry. Elizabeth kept me informed along the progression of the dogsit, and updated me with photos and texts. She was also willing to feed my 2 cats. I was away for 4 days. I highly recommend Elizabeth.”
About: I have experience with many different animal species thanks to my work at the zoo! Patience and respect are the two most important elements I've incorporated into any interaction I have with animals. I care for my own cats every day, and frequently help my friends and family with taking their dogs on walks and stopping in to check on them. Adding your pet to my routine would be as natural as heading to the store or grabbing coffee. I work as a bartender, so even on the days that I work, stopping by to check on a pup or walk them during your workday is easy. I've stayed at multiple homes to care for other people's dogs. A weimaraner, an ibizan, a couple boxer-shitzu mixes, some terrier mixes, and many more! Catering to the needs of each individual dog and home comes easily to me, and following instructions for securing pets or households is a top priority.
About: Between my Burmese-Rottweiler mix and Chihuahua-Weiner mix, I have plenty of experience working with both small and large dogs! On top of that, my family has owned cats for as long as I can remember. I’m a full-time college student working part-time on campus, so my schedule is relatively busy. I am always willing to work and modify my schedule — we’ll figure it out! I believe trust is extremely important with this — so I will do my best to instill that within my customers. Respecting your homes, property, and space as well as loving your pets is everything to me!
About: I grew up in a house that was always full of animals and kids, so chaotic and energetic animals do not phase me, and I can adapt well to whatever care plan is needed for your loved one. As an example of this, the last two dogs I cared for were very different personalities. I took care of an elderly 14-year-old Jack Russell, who was a bit blind so would nip on occasion, and needed spoon feeding and consistent potty breaks starting at 6am. Conversely, most recently I did a house-sitting stint for an owner of a rescued 5 yo Pitbull mix that needed almost constant attention and good tiring play. I have also housesat for many cat owners in the past few years of ranging personalities and needs; some needing some attention and play, others just needing food and water topped up, while another needed me to help her clean herself as she couldn't go to the toilet. I know that there are people with strict routines, and I understand that getting an external sitter or a walker can really mess with the structure you are trying to create. I want to help build that, not tear it down. I pride myself in being able to use positive reinforcement as an effective disciplinary method. I do not bribe or abuse the animals entrusted to my care. I work remotely, so I can be very flexible to the needs of you and your animals. Let me know if you have any questions :) I currently work part-time and remotely, so I can be totally flexible to your animal care needs. In the case of early mornings of 6am and earlier, I would prefer to have the animals stay here or I stay at the clients' residence. I live on the second floor in an apartment building where everyone owns a dog. Having animals stay with me is no problem at all, but there is no yard, so for dogs it would be exclusively dog walking/dog park if they were to stay here. I can be totally flexible in sitting at a clients' home.
“Excellent communication. Dejaun was able to quickly connect with our dog, who can be skittish with new people. He sent lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. He stayed in our home and left it really neat. We will definitely contact DeJaun the next time we go out of town!”
About: Hi there! My name is Jada. I am 26 years old and i am a graduate from Horizon Science Academy High! All my life i’ve LOVED dogs. I’ve had different dogs growing up. When i was growing up, i found myself spending more time with my dogs than actual people. I would watch movies with them and play with them! They made me feel safe and warm! Dogs are way better than humans in my opinion! I can make conversations with them, make them feel loved, and most importantly, make sure they’re cared for! I believe that everyone needs a companion/bff, even animals! That’s where i come in! Allow me to care and love for your dog as i would for my own! We will for sure make memories! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have tons of time to play with your pups! I always make sure to give all of my attention to the pups! I do not have a secluded yard, however I do have open field areas for your pups to run around in! There are tons of other dogs in my complex that are very loving and friendly!
About: I love animals but most of dogs because they keep me in a good mood. I make sure that dogs eat , get the right exercise, and got to the bathroom on time. I also own a dog of my own back my hometown. And we have a great relationship! I know what she wants just by her body language and her speaking to me lol kind of cute. Dogs are like humans. I love to play with dogs. Dogs give me a since of joy and calmness because I know when they are taken care of they trust me. I make sure that dogs retrieve the right nutrients that they will need as requested by the dogs owner. Dogs are my best friends. Safe!
About: I stand out because of my years of experience, genuine love for being with dogs, and a track record of trust with numerous satisfied clients who have relied on my services! Despite my work commitments, I am dedicated to incorporating pet care into my daily routine. I prioritize morning and evening sessions for feeding, walks, and quality time with your pet. Additionally, I ensure that your pet has a comfortable environment during the day. Communication is key, and I'll keep you informed with updates, so you can have peace of mind while you're at work. In both my home and yours, I prioritize a safe and comfortable environment for your pets. In my home, I create a pet-friendly space with designated areas for play, rest, and meals. Daily walks and engaging activities are part of the routine. For in-home services, I adapt to your pet's familiar surroundings, maintaining their routine while providing personalized care. Regular communication and updates ensure you have peace of mind, knowing your pet is well-cared for in either setting.
About: I have been rescuing & caring for animals for some time now, I have had experience with older animals and younger animals, with bottle feeding to giving them the medical care they need. My weekly routine in consistent and mostly flexible throughout the week, which makes it easier to tie things in between. Work and daily priorities. Pet sitting is where my main ideal routine would be. Giving them my upmost attention. Keeping them active and making sure they are well feed and taken care of. Being alert on essential needs they might have as well as making sure they are loved and adored.
“As always, Liz made us feel we could enjoy our time away from home, knowing the boys were being spoiled rotten with attention. Liz takes care of our 2 dogs, cat, and home, so well, we can rest easy when we travel. Liz also provides excellent picture and summary updates, which goes a long way in seeing how happy everyone is! Thank you, Liz!”
“Kurstin was amazing ! She kept me up to date on my pets daily and sent pictures. This was my first experience having someone watch over my reactive dog who can be a menace on the leash and she handled her perfectly! Has experience watching small pets and reptiles as well!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets As a business owner, I have a flexible schedule and can tailor my availability to meet each pet’s needs. I’m able to adjust my schedule when needed to provide the best care possible. I own my home ( with my Husband ) and have a nice fenced in backyard with lots of grass to run around. I also have 2 fur babies of my own. Lillie is (F) yorkipoo and Cayde is (M) labor doodle. Your fur baby will never feel lonely. My 2 dogs are friendly and love to meet new people. Fun fact: Lillie and Cayde have their own bedroom

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mayfield Heights
Molly was able to watch our dogs very last minute. She was a good communicator throughout the stay and was helpful about bringing in our packages. She also took the sheets off the guest bed before leaving, which we appreciated! Overall, a great experience!
Rebecca stayed with my sweet senior Eevie for 4 days and I came home to a relaxed, and clearly well cared for dog. Eevie had a UTI when I left town so Rebecca gave her antibiotics, probiotics and two other daily medications. Rebecca sent photos during her visit and responded right away when I checked in by text. In addition, I came home to an extremely clean house. Rebecca is professional, accommodating, down to earth and very kind. She's a real gem!
Falyn did a great job watching our three high energy dogs and cat for the weekend. Our animals were so happy with her care and we can tell they loved having her! She was responsive and easy to work with. Our house was also just as tidy when we came home! Will hire her again and again!!!!
Brittney is truly amazing. From making sure the animals were comfortable with a meet-and-greet, to making sure that all dietary and special needs were considered. Even with the typical NEOH snowstorm, Brittney made sure my babies received the best care. I will be rebooking 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 Mayfield Heights 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 Mayfield Heights 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Mayfield Heights 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 , 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.

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 .
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.
