About: I have taken care of dogs from all sizes and breeds. I enjoy taking them for walks, playing fetch or giving them all the belly rubs they want! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have helped take care of my friends and families dogs while they are away. Depends on day and time, I can do 3 times a day if needed. I work full time but am available before work and after work Monday through Friday. I am also free Saturdays and Sundays whenever needed. I will always make time for your pets as you are trusting me to watch your loved ones while away. I would always make sure your pets are cared for by feeding them, giving them water and while out for a walk making sure their safety is my top priority. Playing with them with their favorite toys or giving them belly rubs before leaving to get as much energy out as possible!
“Chloe was phenomenal with our dogs - she watched them for a long weekend when we were out of town. Not only did she tax excellent care of our fur babies, she left the house in pristine condition - she went above and beyond what I requested - what a superstar!!!”
“Thank you so much Christina! You did a great job with Sadie and it made our weekend stress free. The communication was fabulous and updates and pictures were so nice to have. We appreciate you and will definitely be requesting your services again as well as recommending you!”
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.
“Shannon was unable to be present but, her husband came to the rescue! I so appreciate both of you watching my Dutchess while I was in the hospital for outpatient care! I definitely will want you to watch her for me in the near future! Thank you so much 💓”
“Elizabeth took great care of our 2 year old dog, Rory. She was completely reliable, sent lots of pictures, and we could tell he was well loved when we returned home. She left our house very clean and communicated well with lots of pictures while we were away. We will absolutely be using her again!”
“Ebony did a great job watching my 11 mo. old puppy over the weekend. She stayed and left the house spotless. She also communicated very well when my puppy had an issue with her harness (puppy was nervous about someone new) and was open about what was going on. Puppy was in good hands and I could relax on vacation. I would highly recommend using Ebony for an overnight stay!”
“Allie was an excellent sitter for my 2 year old German Shepherd Dog Hero! She was attentive to his needs, took him on regular walks multiple times a day, walked him to the Dog park down the road and let him run and play, and sent me regular updates and photos of their time together. Allie is detail oriented and will follow instructions to the letter. Her and Hero played so hard while she dog/house sat with one of his favorite toys that the squeaker broke out of it and she went out of her way to buy him a close replacement for it as well as a bag of treats which she absolutely didnt have to do but Hero and I appreciated very much! I would highly recommend Allie's services to anyone looking for a pet sitter. I was uneasy at first having a stranger stay at my home to watch my dog, but after seeing how comfortable Hero was around her within minutes of meeting her it gave me some peace of mind and Allie is absolutely worthy of trust and your business. Thanks for all you did for Hero and I Allie and I wish you nothing but the best I'll definitely be in contact next time I need someone to help with Hero!”
“Our dog loved Zoe! He was so happy to see her that he’d cry and lean on her. This speaks volumes to what a great job she did with him! I’d have her sit with him again and again! So lucky we found her!”
About: I have grown up with and taken care of animals roughly my whole life! Having two cats and two dogs makes caring for animals a daily routine for me. I am also great with caring for kittens and puppies as I have raised all four of my animals since they were little. I have also cared for my own dog’s litter! I’m currently a full time student at the University of Akron & have a ton of time during the summer and holiday seasons to care for any type of animal as needed. I have crate training experience and will be able to crate your pet if needed. I am able to easily adapt to any other security measures as needed.
“Megan and Jeremiah were great. It was only one night, but they took great care of my foster dog, Zoey. They left my house prsotiem and even took out my garbage! They were both very friendly and kind.”
“We felt very comfortable leaving Maya in charge. She was always quick to respond and gave us updates with pictures. The pets seemed to really take to her and were happy to see her when she arrived. The house was in great shape when we returned. Her communication skills were excellent. Will definitely use again.”
About: I have taken care of senior dogs for over 4 years. Clients trust me to keep their pets needs in mind while I am watching them. I am currently an online student, so that means my schedule is wide open for taking care of and getting to know your precious pets! I maintain the pet's normal routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. I ensure their feeding, water, and exercise needs are met on schedule and take extra care to keep their environment clean and tidy. I respect the home by keeping it clean and secure and am happy to provide updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Amazing with my furbabies. He had quite the job with our fur family. We have 2 dogs and 3 cats. And one of our dogs is still a rambunctious, frazzled lab pup. Got daily updates on everyone. They were happy and well maintained during our trip. My husband was able to relax and not worry bout our animals for once.”
About: I’ve provided care for animals since I was a young child. Successfully completed a basic dog training course at Alaska SPCA in 2016. My skill ranges from walks to grooming, I’ve got you covered! Currently, I’m working full-time with free availability Sunday through Tuesday! I will require at least a three day notice before the date of booking. Please message me for any questions you may have! I have a balcony and plenty of space for your fur baby to lounge and play. Currently my roommate is an agreeable cat. Chai is pleasant and tolerable to other cats and small dogs.
About: I have taken care of different breeds and ages of dogs. I have taken care of senior-aged dogs with a variety of needs as well as younger pups! I have even gained the trust of more protective/nervous dogs and have successfully taken care of them. Hello! I’m a teacher, so my weekday availability is extremely limited! However, I usually am able to make more drop-in visits and walks on the weekend! During the school year, when I house sit I make sure that all needs are met before leaving for the day (food, water, walks) and that they get everything they need before bed time! I’m usually able to do a morning and evening/night walk! I do my best to care for your pet the same way you would! Any entry routines or special meal time requirements you do for your pet, I'll follow those as well! While there, I keep spaces clean and am very mindful of everything in your home,

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Royalton
I knew from the meet-and-greet that Jeannie was the right person as my Molly took to her right away. Jeannie took good care of Molly, followed instructions, is respectful, responsible, reliable and trustworthy. She sent lots of pictures to let me know how things were going. Excellent communication! Highly recommend!
Jeannie always goes above and beyond when she stays with our pup. She’s in regular communication, sends videos and photos daily. She’s even spoiled our pup by making him special dinners! To top it off, she baked some banana bread for my husband and I to have after our red eye flight home. She’s truly exceptional!

The average cost of House Sitting in North Royalton is $59 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $72 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.

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 Royalton 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 Royalton 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 Royalton 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.
