“Dena was able to come by last minute and help us out of a pinch. We got lots of photos of our dogs! She was great with our very large dogs, which is sometimes hard to find. One is skittish and she had no issues warming her up. Will definitely rebook!”
“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 been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family was always fostering dogs in need of a home and spending time with them was my favorite part of the day. Family, friends, and neighbors always knew they could rely on me to watch, walk, and love their pets like my own (taking probably too many pictures of the adorable fluffers.) Because I’m currently between apartments, my schedule is incredibly open and flexible right now! I have plenty of free time during the day and week to focus entirely on your pet’s needs, routines, mid-day walks, and playtime. I care for pets in your home by adapting to the environment they are already comfortable in. Through the experience with pets of my own, I prioritize safety by double-checking locks and doors, following feeding instructions perfectly, and keeping a clean space. I make sure your pets get plenty of supervised playtime and attention, and I'll send you lots of pictures so you never have to worry about how they are doing!
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and share a special bond with them. I volunteered at a street dog rescue organization in Mexico, where I helped stray dogs recover and find loving forever homes. I’ve also cared for friends' dogs while they were away or couldn’t walk them. I’m gentle, patient, and enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. As a photographer, I often find myself at the computer, so taking a dog along on my walks is a win-win! It provides a much-needed break while giving a furry friend the exercise and companionship they deserve. I mostly work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Just let me know what you need, and I'll see if I can make it work. I prioritize safety on every walk, keeping dogs on a leash. During drop-in visits, I make sure they have water, attention, and a calm, comfortable environment. I'm more than happy to keep you updated with messages and photos.
“Jo Did a wonderful job caring for our 2 babies for the first time. She’s reliable, followed directions that I let for her, she responds promptly to messages and writes great notes and sends pictures which I love. Our girls dispositions were very happy when we got back. I will use her again.”
“Christina has been awesome spending time to get to know my two dogs, even though one of them is people-phobic. I appreciated her suggestions on ways to try to ensure my little dog takes her medications. She is very caring and enjoyable to work with.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life - mostly well tempered labs we got as puppies. Now, my husband and I have a pitbull who we rescued a few years ago that has taught us so much about patience and unconditional love. She’s needed a lot of training and nurturing due to her abusive past and we accepted the challenge. Now, I am comfortable with all kinds of training tools such as prong and e-collars, I understand how to read behavior and body language and feel very confident caring for dogs that have different behavioral challenges. I work frequently with a trainer (with 30+ years experience) who has really changed our dog’s life for the better and has taught me how to be a more confident and responsible dog owner/caretaker. Rover is my secondary gig - I am a full time personal trainer. I work mostly afternoons and evening but am available during the day during the week and most weekends. I frequently update my calendar, so make sure to check out my availability prior to booking! I can not keep dogs in my home as our rescue dog is not friendly to other dogs, but I would be happy to care for your pet in your home/neighborhood, which I am sure is the most comfortable environment for them anyway. I love to get my steps in and was an athlete for many years so I can take dogs for short or long walks depending on the owners desired activity level for their pet! I'd be happy to walk around your neighborhood or head over to a local trail or park as well!
About: I’ve had a family dog in my life as long as I can remember. Currently own a well socialized and trained German shepherd. She loves walks and meeting new dog and human friends. Currently working night shift (7p-7a). I am very flexible to check in on and walk dogs during normal business hours. Message me for your daily walking needs. I have a pet of my own who loves to go on walks, well socialized, and is crated when I am not home. I am very active outside of walking/running my dog.
“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.”
“We've loved working with Makaila over the past few months and multiple trips. She's been wonderfully professional, friendly, and very comfortable and knowledgeable about cat behavior. I was always very comfortable leaving my cat in her care, and would continue to work with her if she wasn't moving away! Highly recommend to anyone who needs a sitter.”
“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.”
“Alexandria has been wonderful with my Ellie! Her notes during her drop in visits are detailed and she makes sure to send lots of pictures of their time together. Highly recommend!”
“Gracie did such a great job! She clearly cared about my cats, kept them stimulated and busy, and went above and beyond our requests when she was here. She spent extra time and sent the greatest photos. Very well done.”
“Breeana did a great job! She provided great care and updates while I was out of town for my pups. She was flexible and happy to help when I needed her to do a couple extra drop ins. I would definitely recommend her! We will hire her again. Thanks Breeanna!! ❤️”
About: Hello! I'm a native Clevelander that has had personal experience growing up with my own dog! My goal is to help your dog stay fit, happy and healthy. I'm based out of Middleburg Heights, but am willing to travel to Berea, Strongsville, Parma, and Parma Heights! We'll walk, whether it be rain, sunshine or snow! Having kids of my own, I know how very important it is that you demonstrate patience when helping others learn something new. I'm a firm believer that the old adage, "You can't teach a dog new tricks" is far from the truth, and I'm always thankful for new opportunities to help pets pursue their very best. If you'd like to meet to talk about yours and your pet's needs further, send me a message! I have kids in school and one who does half-days. So my main availability is mornings between 7am - 11am. I can be flexible with times over the weekends! I like to begin by doing a meet-and-greet with you and your dog, and going for a walk all together. You can show me your preference of route, length, and any helpful advice pertaining to your dog in particular. My goal is to build trust and familiarity to set our walks up for success! I am a gentle, friendly, and easy-going individual that I hope sets your pet at ease.
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our little baby. Jeannie did a great job on our first time with her and followed all our instructions perfectly.”
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.

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!
Kevisha was great! She communicated well and sent pictures of her every visit. We had peace of mind with her tending to our dog. It made being gone much easier on us. Everything was great! I look forward to booking with her again in the future. Thank you for your care!
Isabelle was great watching our pitbull mix. She was an excellent communicator, took adorable pictures and took care of Princess as if she was her own. Her energy was calming, which worked well for out high-energy dog! When we got home we had a happy pooch! Thank you Isabelle! We will definitely use Isabelle again!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,427 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Middleburg Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. 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 Middleburg Heights. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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.
