About: Hello! I am an animal lover who has multiple years of care experience. I have a puppy so I am aware of the special care needs they may have. I also specialize in cats. I am flexible when it comes to cancellations and care times. I work second shift so I am able to provide care in the mornings or late at night. Late night care does not bother me, as I am a night owl! I am able to board, however I would prefer cats or small dogs. In my spare time I love to exercise, so I would love to take your pup on a long walk! I love animals, so rest assured your friend will be in loving, caring hands when you are away! I work overnights, so I am able to provide care in the mornings, during the day, and in evenings. I am flexible when I need to be! I reside in an apartment and have a large, unfenced yard. Perfect for supervised playtime! I have 2 friendly cats that would love to keep your pet company.
“Alyssa went above and beyond for our girl, who just happens to be a bit anxious. She took good care of our home and sent updates throughout our time away, we really felt better knowing she was watching our baby. Cannot say enough how much we appreciate this service!”
“Joy watched my dog in my home for two weeks and did an amazing job. She sent daily updates and pictures that really put me at ease. She took excellent care of my dog and couldn't be nicer. I would recommend her to others and would hire her again.”
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my professional experience as an animal keeper, where attention to detail, behavior observation, and quality care are essential every day. I’ve owned and cared for dogs throughout my life and genuinely enjoy being around them, whether at dog parks, beaches, or dog-friendly spaces. Even without a dog of my own currently, I stay actively connected to dogs and understand the exercise, enrichment, patience, and companionship they need to thrive. I currently work full time as a professional animal keeper, but I’m excited to spend my free time caring for even more animals. I’m available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks outside of my work hours, and I bring the same level of attentiveness, reliability, and compassion to pets that I do in my professional animal care career. I understand the importance of trust, responsibility, and attention to detail when caring for animals in someone else’s home. I am reliable, respectful of clients’ spaces, and committed to providing attentive monitoring, consistent care, and peace of mind while pets are in my care. I currently care for two cats, a lizard, and a boa, which has given me firsthand experience with the unique needs, behaviors, and routines of a variety of animals. Caring for such different species has strengthened my understanding that every pet is an individual and deserves personalized, attentive care tailored to their specific personality and needs.
“Craig was wonderful with my dogs. He sent pictures and responded to emails. He also stayed at my home and brought in packages as requested. I would highly recommend him for your dog and house sitting needs!”

I want every pet to feel happy, safe, and comfortable while in my care. I would be happy to meet you and your pet to provide dependable care to your fur family members! Hi there!

“Kerrigan was absolutely amazing! We booked her last minute due to travels plans shifting and she was on time, responsive, and adaptable! She provided responsive check ins and if I did reach out to remind her of anything she responded very quickly. Roscoe really enjoyed his time with her and we felt he was in good hands! 🙂 We will definitely rebook with her in the future 🥰”
“Brittany was great and very easy to work with! I needed a sitter last minute & Brittany was willing to help- she was flexible & able to do a quick visit the night before to meet my dog. My dog seemed very comfortable with her & I felt comfortable having her stay in my home! Would recommend”

About: I have had pets all of my life! I have cared for both cats and dogs! I had a dog walking business since the age of 10. During college I worked as a stable hand and love being around all of the animals! I do work at a school every week day until 2:30. I’m mostly free on weekends. I can send a more detailed schedule if you’re interested. I live with 3 other people so there’s usually someone home for most of the day. I have a 4 year old cat as well who does fine with dogs.
“Really glad to have Maxwell on board to help with my rambunctious dachshund! It is great to know that my best buddy is playing hard and having tons of fun when I need to be away. Definitely hope to have Maxwell back again soon!”
“Nichole was great! Olive has very Happy. I was going to have her come over in a couple weeks to let Olive out, however, my neighbor said they would do it for me. I will definitely keep her in mind when making other travel plans!”
About: I have been caring for animals for years. I have cared for my own since I was young. I expanded this service to family and friends in my teen years. I follow to direction as given and use good judgment in between to make your Baby is well cared for. I like staying busy and like company when I complete my daily steps. Contact me, I will make sure all your fur/smooth skin babies are will cared for.

About: I have a ton of experience with animals in the past. My family used to own a bulldog business, where I helped take care of their dogs, and give them unconditional love. Now I have 3 dogs of my own. Dogs are absolutely my favorite animal, I am a great pet-sitter because I love all animals, and we always become the best of friends. I just graduated from Kent State University with my BA in American Sign Language. I am deaf, and I know ASL, fluent English, and I have great communication skills with all types of people. Please feel free to ask if you would like to know anything else about me! Juggling my studies, family, and my Papillons is quite the routine, but it’s all part of the day’s work. Morning cuddles and care for my dogs amidst the family hustle set a positive vibe for the day. It’s a busy life, but caring for my dogs blends seamlessly into it, filled with love and joy. They’re more than pets; they’re family. Caring for pets involves understanding their specific needs and routines, whether it’s in my home or a client's. This means regular feeding, exercise, and affection, plus any special care required for their health or breed, like my Papillons. It’s all about ensuring they're happy, healthy, and well-adjusted.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Olmsted
We were so impressed with how well Quinn managed our dog Kona. She is a large dog who is not always friendly to strangers. She was confident and patient and had Kona eating out of her hand in short order. What a relief! I am so grateful to her for the photos and updates throughout my time away.
Leah is wonderful! She took the best care of our little cat Scarlett while we were overseas. I had total peace of mind about home knowing she was there the whole time taking loving care of our kitty and our home. The adorable daily pics were such a comfort. I can't recommend her enough!! Thank you Leah!!! Until next tine!!
Halle was wonderful to work with! She is organized, professional and responsive, and our "crew" was very well cared for (and quite doted upon! :) We enjoyed receiving daily updates and pictures, and returned home to find them all very relaxed and happy and our house as tidy as can be. We will absolutely request to work with her again!
Chloe did an excellent job during my 9 days away. She provided lots of updates, adorable photos, and had excellent communication! She had no issues navigating my dog’s medication schedule or need for multiple walks a day. I would highly recommend her for any pet sitting service!!
Jennifer was an amazing sitter for Lucy. I received daily updates with photos and knew she was in great hands. Leaving a younger puppy for a longer vacation was difficult, but knowing she was with a loving family made it so much easier. I highly recommend Jennifer!
We love Maura! This is our second house/pet sitting with her. She took wonderful care of Brody so we were able to relax and enjoy a few days away from home. She kept us posted on how he was doing, kept the house tidy and watered our outside plants for us. She's the best!
emma is great! she house sat for us and watched our two pups with very different personalities and they adore her. she kept our home clean and sent us pictures and updates daily. our pups were happy and healthy when we got home, and she even left us a cute note and some cookies for when we returned from our trip. she is timely and took notes while we shared how to care for our home and pets. highly recommend hiring her for your house sitting/dog watching and walking needs. she is a bright woman and very courteous. we will surely be using her services again in the future.
Carrie was great with our Gilbert, she stayed over our place with him overnight while we were out of town! He still has puppy golden energy & can be hyper at times. She was very patient with him & updated us frequently with photos as well. I would highly recommend her to care for your fur babies!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in North Olmsted is $55 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $94 per night. 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.

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 North Olmsted 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 North Olmsted 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.
Tip: 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 North Olmsted 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.
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 .
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.
