“Elaina has been by far the best catsitter we ever worked with! She was very thorough with each visit at following our instructions and kept us updated throughout the visit. We felt so at ease that our boys were safe this past week. Thank you!”
“Brianna was punctual, communicative, and very professional. She provided updates during the visit and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. I appreciated her reliability and the time she spent making sure everything was taken care of. I would absolutely book with her again.”
“Ella was very sweet and punctual. Any directions left were followed very well. We were given detailed reports everyday and our dogs loved her. Our family will definitely be using Ella again in the future when we need help with Tucker and Hank.”
About: Hello! My name is Shawntel and I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had 2 dogs and 4 cats. Now I have three dogs that I couldn't imagine my life without them, with two of them being rescues. When I’m booked for house/dog sitting, my dad gets to stay and spend time with his grand-pups (: One is a German Shepard mix, another one is a Pitbull, Husky, Lab mix, and my newest addition is a golden doodle! The German Shepard is a senior so I am used to making accommodations for animals as well as giving mediations. It doesn't matter if they are young or old, big or small, boy or girl-- I love them all. I am currently a first grade teacher in Lake County which I recently took time away from dog sitting to focus on my new position. But now I’m back!! So I am available before and after the school day during the week for your animals and pretty free on the weekends. I am usually pretty flexible so if you need anything special for your animal, just let me know! I also dedicate my summers and school breaks to house/dog sitting! I truly believe that a well taken care of animal is a happy one, and who doesn't want their fur baby happy?! I look forward to meeting you and your sweet animal(s)!!

I know animals feel most comfortable in their own home so I mainly watch animals in the clients home. I do my best to give them the love and attention you give them while you are away.
“I have two cats, one being diabetic and Katie was able to help me last minute when my sitter fell through. She sent me multiple updates and took care of everything I needed! Would definitely recommend Katie again!”
About: Hi! I’m Emily, a pet lover with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and more. I offer dog walking, boarding, daycare, and in-home care, tailoring each visit to your pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or daily exercise, I make sure every furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. I’ve been around dogs and cats for pretty much my whole life. But I have a love for all animals! I know it can sometimes be hard to leave your furry loved ones with a stranger, but I can promise you I will treat them like my own! They’re in good hands(: Let me know if you have any questions! I currently work as a server but am never there past 2pm and I have flexible hours! I’m super flexible with everything so if you have any concerns, reach out to me and I’m sure we can figure it out! I have two friendly cats who love to play and get along with all animals! They also don't mind hanging out in the basement if need be. I've got a large area indoors and outdoors to keep your pet busy or they can relax on the couch! We have a border collie mix pup as well who is friendly with other dogs, but very high energy. so I am able to keep them separate in my home if need be!
“Everything went super smoothly! I would highly recommend Celine, she took the time to ask questions and get to know our pups and was very helpful. Looking forward to booking her again!”
About: I am very responsible by nature and love taking care of my cats and dogs. My relatives constantly leave their pets in my care and I love it. I work, but am very flexible. If you need reasonable assistance I can be there in the morning, during lunch and at night as needed. I will come to your house and let ur pets out and feed them. Can do weekends and during the week mornings or nights as needed
About: I have owned dogs as pets all my life. I have been a raiser & sitter for Guiding Eyes for the blind for 6 years. I am a teacher so I am off for the summer. I have a few trips planned but have an open schedule the rest of the time. I am available from morning to night most days and understand not always having time to get that walk in for the day. My dog has been intensively trained so she stays close. I use food rewards that are low calorie for training. I can offer mild training while on walks, in your yard, or house. I am happy to learn how you have trained your dog also so it's not confusing to the dogs. I use crates for calm time and lots of upbeat praise for good behaviors.
About: I have taken care of many family and friends’ dogs when needed. During 3 years of college, I had the opportunity to foster service dogs. This has helped me gain the experience of training and socializing puppies. Right now I have a 1 year old German shepherd. He has given me the experience on training and taking care of a high energy dog I currently work full time during the week day. Other than work, I am mainly home. My weekends I am usually home doing things around the house and have time to make your pet a priority. I have the ability to accommodate to any clients needs based off their care for their pet. I have many items that a dog would need based off having a dog myself (leashes, poop bags, toys, treats, etc.)
About: I attended BGSU, studying Criminal Justice and Forensic Investigation.I am a very outgoing, friendly, and loving person. I recently adopted my cat Gummy. Previously I’ve taken care of my aunt’s 5 dogs (2 of which are seniors) and 1 cat. I am very familiar with animal medications including: pill pockets, ear cream, topical skin cream, and liquid medicine. My cat Gummy has Stomatitis and Stage 2 Kidney Disease so I’m familiar with having to give gabapentin as well as other medicine. I understand the importance of animals who have medical needs and schedules. I love providing the care your fur babies need!
About: I have always had dogs in my household along with other small animals such as bunny’s and hamsters. I currently have three dogs named Ace, Jack, and Baker. Two Husky’s and a Cattle dog. Many of my family members have pets but also like to go out and enjoy themselves, just like everyone! I am always there willing to come hangout, feed, walk, and play with their pets. From young to senior, every single pet will be protected under my watch. There’s nothing that I love more than being an animal lover. I am here to give your best furry friend excellent care and lots of love while you have some you time! I currently work part time at a dog daycare but my schedule is still very open and flexible. I would absolutely love to pursue something in the animal industry whether it’s grooming, sitting, walking, boarding, veterinary, ect. I care for 3 dogs myself and will absolutely love yours as if they were my own! If they have a certain schedule they follow I will be more than willing to follow it. If they need medications, water, food, ect I will always be there to provide. All my attention will go to them when needed. I am an energetic young girl always ready to run around and play with younger dogs or ready to cuddle up and watch a movie with some senior dogs! My goal is to never have a pet parent worry while they are away.

About: Hi! I'm an animal lover with approximately 20 years of pet-sitting experience. I've had cats my entire life and dogs for most of it, so caring for furry family members has always been a big part of my life. I have even owned a bird, fish, and pet rats!

About: There has never been segment of time where I did not have a pet— dogs, cats, ferrets, hamsters, fish, a baby squirrel. I started pet-sitting for neighbors & family friends during high school and continued to accept requests through word-of-mouth. I have experience with puppies, seniors, special needs, and pets with less-than-friendly personalities. All pets are welcome with me. I work full-time in healthcare, the standard M-F, 9-5. Your pet’s morning & evening routine will be carried out thoroughly with plenty of outdoor time. Weekends will be invested with your pet. If they can tolerate a hike, then we’ll definitely be taking a field trip. Your pet's comfort and entertainment is my responsibility. I will follow your pet's schedule & routine and support your training efforts to the best of my ability. The ultimate goal is for your pet to not even know that you left.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I highly recommend Matthew! He took excellent care of our dog, Blaze, while we were away. He was always on time for potty breaks, very friendly, professional, and dependable. He even took Blaze for a walk, which I really appreciated because Blaze is a big, strong dog who pulls hard on the leash! Matthew was also willing to help us out at the last minute, which meant so much to us. It gave us peace of mind knowing Blaze was in good hands. We will definitely be using Matthew again! Thank you so much! 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Mentor is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $23 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 November 2026, there are 1,648 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mentor. 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 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 Mentor. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
