“Dena did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were on vacation! We will definitely be rebooking with her in the future! Our cats seemed happy too!😸😸😸”
About: 👋🏻 Hello, dear pet parents! Leaving your pet is never easy — I know that feeling well. That’s why I’ve built a care experience where your dog or cat gets the same routine, attention, and comfort they’re used to at home. 👤 My name is Maria. I’ve built this as a real service — with structure, clear policies, and consistent standards. I don’t have a dog of my own yet, and pet sitting has become my way of staying close to that daily routine and care in the meantime. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior dogs — my calm, one-on-one format tends to work especially well for older pets and those who need a little extra patience. ✨ What makes my care different? • One family at a time. Your pet gets my full attention, without sharing space with unfamiliar animals; • I’m home most of the day. I work remotely, so your pet has company and a calm environment throughout the day; • Fully insured + real-time GPS tracking during every walk; • A Petcube camera lets me keep an eye on your pet even when I step out — live feed and two-way audio, day or night, for extra peace of mind; • Personalized updates, your way — regular photos and videos, or simple morning & evening check-ins; • Care built around your pet’s routine, learned in advance so the transition feels smooth. 🕐 Daycare & Boarding Hours Daycare typically runs between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with a maximum of 10 hours per booking. Extended pick-up times later in the evening may shift into boarding rates — happy to discuss what works for your schedule. Boarding works differently: it’s booked in full 24-hour cycles starting from your drop-off time. Exact drop-off and pick-up times are always coordinated with you in advance. 🌙 A small neighborhood note: quiet hours run from 10:00 PM to 9:00 AM. Early morning drop-offs and pick-ups are welcome — I just ask that high-energy playtime wait until after quiet hours end. 🔔 A few important details: • I accept only fully house-trained dogs and litter-trained cats; • Pets are fed only the food and treats you provide. If your pet refuses to eat and we need a plan B, I’ll always check with you first; • Before a first stay, I’ll send a short intake form — please have your pet’s vaccination records handy (Rabies, DHPP, Bordetella). It’s how I keep my home safe for every guest; • If a pet has had any respiratory symptoms, I wait a full week after they’ve cleared before hosting — the same care I’d want taken before your pet arrives; • I’m not able to accommodate reactive dogs over 40 lbs or pets showing aggression toward people or other animals — I want every walk to feel safe for your pet and for me; • Puppies and pets needing extra support (medication, mobility assistance, lifting onto furniture) are +$10 per night or day, as they need more hands-on time. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family — not just another booking — I’d love to meet them. Feel free to message me with any questions 🐾 🗓 My availability: Monday–Saturday, and occasionally Sundays by request. Since I work remotely, pet care fits naturally into my day. I’m generally flexible — feel free to reach out to discuss your specific schedule. 🦮 My home: I live on the ground floor with a patio opening onto a shared green area, plus easy access to nearby parks. No stairs, easy outdoor access, calm walks tailored to your pet’s pace and needs.
“Kevisha was very kind and sweet to our Jax. Always on time and took pictures to let us know he was walked and fed and happy. Definitely gave us peace of mind when we were traveling!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Jo made it an excellent experience. Jo’s reports were thorough and comforting so I felt good about how my cats were doing during my trip - even my elderly and needy ones!”
About: I love dogs and cats, I am a big animal fan and have always been. i enjoy going on walks and being super active.I am saving up for my dream dog a shiba inu for the future when I get my own place to call home. id love to enjoy having the experience of lightening up you and your furry friends day! I am currently working on a school so through out the day I would like some outside time to enjoy the weather or just help get energy out. I have 2 cats i love dearly and i am a very visual person. I can sometimes pickup when something is wrong or notice specific signs.
“Leah took such great care of our cat while we were out of town! She was patient and thorough, and takes the BEST photos. We would use her services again any time without a second thought. Thank you, Leah!”
“Makaila was very prompt and dependable. My two cats were very pleased to see her. She took time to feed them, play with them, give them love, and thoroughly clean their litter boxes. They were happy to see me but very emotionally content in my absence. I felt very comfortable knowing Makaila was in charge of them and their care. I highly recommend her!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Kelly! She connected with our dog immediately, and it was so reassuring to see how comfortable our pup was with her right away. Kelly is incredibly professional, always on time, and has a calm, relaxed demeanor that puts both pets and owners at ease. Beyond just watching our dog, she went the extra mile by offering helpful, actionable suggestions on how to handle our dog's pulling during walks, and she even recommended some great, durable toys that are perfect for our "super chewer." We are so happy to have found her and will definitely be booking her again!”
“Amazing sitter, She took great care of my German Shepherd. I only asked for basic checkups and she went out of her way to take my dog on extended walks and play dates with other dogs. Thanks again!”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and am very comfortable caring for both cats and dogs. I grew up with a cat and a dog, so I’m experienced with daily care like feeding, walking, playtime, and recognizing when pets need extra attention or comfort. I also volunteered for over a year at Berea ARF, where I helped care for animals in a shelter environment. Through that experience I became comfortable working with pets of different temperaments and needs while helping them feel safe and cared for. In addition, I’ve been dog sitting and cat sitting for people on the side, so I’m familiar with entering a pet’s home environment, following routines, and making sure pets stay happy and stress-free while their owners are away. I truly love animals and always try to treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m currently in school, so my days are structured around my class schedule. Because of that, I’m really intentional about the time I dedicate to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting before classes, between classes when possible, and in the afternoons/evenings. Spending time with animals is honestly one of the best parts of my day, so I love building it into my routine. I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and have also volunteered for over a year at Berea ARF, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I care for every pet the way I would want someone to care for my own. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. Through volunteering at Berea ARF and pet sitting on the side, I’ve had experience with many different temperaments and needs. I’m very attentive, patient, and gentle, and I always prioritize safety on walks and in the home. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so I make sure to send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Jennifer dropped in and fed my two kitties. She was prompt, sent me photos of how they were doing, and did additional duties such as litter box cleaning. I felt at ease while out on travel, knowing that my kitties were taken care of so lovingly.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life so I’ve gotten very used to taking care of them and loving all kinds! I’m the person everyone in my family comes to for dog/house sitting while they’re out of town and it’s my favorite thing to do for them. I’m in between jobs right now so I have all the time to care for and play with your dogs/cats! I have a 3 year old son who’s been around dogs since the moment he was born and he’s very friendly. I have two dogs of my own at home but they get along kindly with other dogs. I have a fenced yard and a son who loves to go on long walks!
About: (*Please be a smoke-free home for overnights - unfortunately I get asthmatic and have very bad physical reactions to smoke*) I've cared for my sister's dog while she is on vacation, and have several years caring for animals. Part-time, I care for 2 Jack Russell's and a Shorkie - the owners would be happy to recommend my services. I own a cat Allie, and she is treated like a queen, as should be any animal I would be caring for. Animals deserve the greatest love, attention and affection, and I consider them such a high priority. I have a semi flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to devote to the care of your fur babies, in your home, and while you are away. In the Meet & Greet, I will listen very intently for your animal (s) needs, and take detailed instruction on leash requirements, procedures, special requests, etc. Thank you, Nicole (Nicki) I am self-employed and therefore, flexible. I do watch my 3 doggies from 10:30-2:30 Monday through Friday, but otherwise have roughly 10 hours of drafting plans for an Architect. Those hours are also, quite flexible. I can accommodate your needs for overnight stays, medicines, play. While I prefer a fenced yard, I can accommodate on a leash if we are not going too far.
“Leah took the best care of my two fur babies! She fed them and played with them during her drop in visits everyday! Love the photo updates! StinkerBelle and Josey were happy (and Josey doesn’t come out for anyone — she came out for Leah!). Thank you!!! ?”
“i was looking for someone to drop in on my 2 labs 3x a day in the evening hours and was lucky enough to find donavyn just around the corner - my labs took to him right away - donavyns experience with larger dogs really put my mind at ease as larger dogs can be a handful for those who haven’t experienced larger breeds- he’s was prompt for all visits, spent a good amount of time exercising my dogs in the yard even when the weather was chilly, he spent quality cuddle time each visit with both dogs and sent lots of pictures while i was gone - if your looking for someone responsible and trustworthy to watch over your animals i would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate calling donavyn - i’ll definitely be calling on him again for future visits.”

Dena took such good care of our 19 year old kitty, Shultzie while we were on vacation. She was very dependable with on time check ins and his meds plus some play time and photos. We definitely recommend her and will call on her again the next time we go out of town! It's so nice not to have to worry about the care of your furr baby when you are away!
We had a fantastic experience with Kelly! She connected with our dog immediately, and it was so reassuring to see how comfortable our pup was with her right away. Kelly is incredibly professional, always on time, and has a calm, relaxed demeanor that puts both pets and owners at ease. Beyond just watching our dog, she went the extra mile by offering helpful, actionable suggestions on how to handle our dog's pulling during walks, and she even recommended some great, durable toys that are perfect for our "super chewer." We are so happy to have found her and will definitely be booking her again!
Makaila took wonderful care of our four boys! Lots of communication leading up to the booking and during the meet and greet she made sure they all got to know her and were comfortable and at ease. Especially our diabetic cat that needs insulin injections. We will definitely be having her care for them again!
Margaret was fantastic! She checked on our two cats while we were on an international trip. Her thorough reports + photos made us feel comfortable that our guys were in great hands while we were away. Extremely reliable, communicative and will absolutely be rebooking in the future!
Gracie is amazing! We will definitely be booking her drop-in services again for our 3 dogs. She came over before our trip to meet our pups and get a run down of their routine. Then at each drop-in visit, we got an update and great photos! Gracie is reliable, trustworthy, and there's no doubt she loves dogs! Five stars! Highly recommend!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Middleburg Heights stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
