About: I love dogs and have been around them most of my life. Most recently I was lucky enough to have my yorkie for over 17 years. During your dogs stay with me I will treat them as if they are my own- getting lots of attention, walks, play time, and cuddles. I am committed to making sure your dog is happy, safe and comfortable during their time with me! I currently work from home the majority of the week. I am free on weekends so I can give your pup lots of time and attention! Your dog will be treated like a member of my family during their stay! They will get walks in my dog friendly neighborhood (along with a dog friendly park across the street), and lots of couch snuggles during TV binges. They will get lots of play time and attention!
“Katherine had watched my 3 kitties for a few days kept me thoroughly updated with photos, one of my cats has health issues & kept me updated on how he was doing as well! We did a meet & greet & she was very kind & understanding through out my days away”
“We’ve booked with Melissa multiple times now for home drop-in visits when we’re out of town and she always does a great job! We trust her to take good care of our pets & definitely recommend her services :)”
“Veronica was great! She was very communicative and timely, and kept me updated with photos and text messages about my cat while I was away for the weekend. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was young and love taking dogs for walks, being affectionate with cats, and also meet your pet at their level and their energy! I work part-time as an in-home tech consultant, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m available for mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnight! I’m also available for extended sittings if needed (: I will always communicate and make sure I’m meeting your pet’s needs. I love sharing their activities with them (staring out the window, playing on the ground, talking to each other) and am always looking out for their comfort and safety (:
“Wow, I can't say enough great things about Jessica. Jessica absolutely saved the day while we were traveling abroad and had last-minute issues with another sitter. We were really worried about our pets and Jessica was able to check in immediately on our two cats to make sure everything was okay. Knowing she was there to take care of our two fur babies gave us great peace of mind while traveling and we'll definitely be reaching out again in the future for her help. :)”
“Carla is awesome, coming to the rescue with a last-minute cat visit when I had to leave town suddenly and giving them and my house the best care and me, peace of mind. I genuinely appreciate her flexibility and sweetness, and we would welcome her back anytime for future travels!”
“James was so amazing with our 2 dogs! We had a pet emergency and he was able to pick them up last minute and watch them while we were away. His wife is also so sweet and caring! Would highly recommend him!”
“When I say she goes above and beyond for your fur baby, I’m even underselling her. Arianna went above and beyond for my newly adopted 14 yr old cat, she did drop in visits for me over the weekend of July 4th. She was so attentive, so patient and so kind. She definitely helped Goldie feel so much better after a loud July 4th. Thank you Ariana!!!”
“Erin is the best! She knows just how to handle our dog with a big personality and they have become such good friends. She has gone above and beyond each time she drops in on him making sure he is fed and walked. We are so happy we found her!”
About: Hi there! My name is Ireland, if you ever need someone to check in on your furry one during the day, I’d love to help. I’ve been the go‑to dog walker and pet‑check‑in person for neighbors for over 10 years, and caring for furry friends has genuinely become one of my favorite parts of life. I’m extremely reliable, consistent, and always treat every dog like they’re one of my own and trust me, mine set the bar high. I currently have two big, lovable goofballs at home: a Saint Bernedoodle and a Golden Doodle, both tipping the scales at over 100 pounds. So whether your pup is tiny, timid, energetic, or extra‑large, I’m fully prepared and experienced. If you’re looking for someone who shows up, pays attention, and makes your dog feel safe, happy, and loved, I’m your girl. Big dogs, small dogs, shy dogs, wild dogs - I walk them all like they’re my own. ❣️ I’m currently attending Cleveland State University’s Accelerated Nursing Program, and because the program is fully online, it gives me incredible flexibility throughout the day. I’m able to structure my coursework around your pet’s needs, which means I can reliably stop in for walks, check‑ins, feedings, or whatever support your family needs. Caring for animals fits naturally into my daily routine, and I love having that balance of studying and spending time with your furry one. When I’m caring for a pet whether in my home or yours my approach is simple: treat them like family and keep their routine steady, safe, and stress‑free. • Routine consistency - I follow your pet’s normal schedule for meals, walks, potty breaks, and playtime so everything feels familiar and comforting. • Detailed communication - You’ll get updates, photos, and notes so you always know how your furry one is doing. • Respect for your space - I keep your home tidy, follow all house rules, and make sure your pet’s environment stays clean and safe. • Behavior + comfort check‑ins - I pay attention to mood, appetite, energy, and any changes so you’re always in the loop. • Experience with large breeds I currently own two gentle giants a Saint Bernedoodle and a Goldendoodle, both over 100 lbs so I’m very comfortable managing big personalities and big paws. • Play, enrichment, and affection - Walks, mental stimulation, cuddles, and attention are all part of the package. • Cleanliness + comfort - Fresh water, clean bowls, cozy rest spots, and a calm environment are always maintained. Why You Can Trust Me: • 10+ years of experience caring for neighbors’ pets • Extremely reliable. I show up, communicate, and follow through. • Comfortable with all sizes — from tiny pups to 100+ lb doodles. • Genuine love for animals — I treat every pet like it’s my own.
About: We’re katie and ralph 👋 we love animals and would be honored to take care of your furry friend! Our families grew up with cats, but later in life we became a dog family! We love all animals and would be happy to take care of any family’s pet. When we had our own dog, we used Rover for overnights so we know how it feels to leave your pet with someone new. We have watched friends and family’s dogs for many years, big and small! Ralph recently decided to leave his job to explore a new career so we’re wide open for scheduling! Happy to accommodate any scheduling needs. 😀 We have a ton of experience with crate training and e-collar training if that’s needed. Happy to administer any medication and follow any special diet needs.
About: I have been walking dogs and pet-sitting for over 10 years now. I started walking dogs around the neighborhood and quickly demonstrated my dependability to clients. Through client word-of-mouth and recommendations, I started pet-sitting overnight. My responsibilities ranged from simple daily walks while clients were traveling to weeklong stays at residences, caring for several pets, watering plants, and doing light housework. I work remotely which allows me to be with your pet all day while sitting! This flexibility also gives me the opportunity for walks during the day and short notice care. I am very active so taking your dog out will be the best part of my day! I will follow any and all instructions you leave me for in-home pet care. I can assure you I will meet and exceed your expectations for pet-sitting. I will care for your pet as if they’re my own!
“Peyton was very sweet with my cat, Sugar. She followed my instructions for her care and made sure that Sugar was safe and sound before leaving. I would definitely trust Peyton to take care of Sugar again.”
“Lani was a great cat sitter! She was super responsible and responsive, and even sent me pictures and updates. I could tell my kitty boys enjoyed her presence! Will be booking again.”
About: Hi! I’m new to Cleveland and excited to help care for your furry family members! I’ve spent many years caring for pets and genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. When caring for your pets in your home, I carefully follow all of your instructions and routines to make sure they stay happy, comfortable, and stress free while you’re away. You can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in reliable, caring hands! As of right now I am currently on summer break, which completely opens my schedule for taking care of your pets. I’m available every day of the week for your convenience. When taking care of your pet in your home, I thoroughly follow your instructions in order to create the best experience for you and your family. There’s nothing to worry about while you are away from your pets!
About: Hi! I have about 2 years of personal experience walking dogs for family friends. I like to believe I have a special bond with animals, and will treat them with nothing but love and care. There’s not much about me other than I’m young and full of energy! I’m recently graduated from Case Western Reserve University and have just started a full-time job. It can be kind of lonely living alone so what better way to get some company than to spend time with animals! I have experience walking, playing, sitting, feeding dogs, and overnight care. I’m open to sitting cats as well, I just don’t have as much experience with them. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have, and we can work something out together! I’m currently working full-time at a mainly remote job, so I have plenty of time to spend at my home to take care of all of the necessary needs your pet may have. I have a large yard great for potty breaks and playing fetch. I’m also in a great neighborhood for walking. Keeping an eye on your pet at all times is my number one priority.

We absolutely love Caio — he is truly amazing! This is our second time booking him to care for our two dogs and two cats, and once again he exceeded every expectation. He is so incredibly gentle and attentive with our babies, and you can tell he genuinely loves the animals in his care. Our girl is completely smitten with him, which says everything! His profile says "certified belly rubber" and we can 100% confirm that title is well earned! We couldn't be more grateful for his kindness and the peace of mind he gives us while we're away. We will absolutely keep booking Caio and recommend him without hesitation! 🐾
Genevieve was FABULOUS! I was in town for work and needed someone able to be with my service dog at the Rocket Arena for multiple hours in a row twice a day ... and on very short notice. She was everything I requested and much more. It was obvious that she loves dogs, and we even found quite a lot in common between us. I HIGHLY recommend Genevieve for people who want someone to care as much for their dog(s) as they do themselves. 5 stars; highly recommend!
Jamie was reliable, communicative, and made sure my pup was happy, safe, and well cared for. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos—it gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog clearly loved spending time with her, and I could tell she treated her like their own. I would definitely book with Jamie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!
Chelsea was wonderful, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again! She was so accommodating with all of our requests for our 3-month-old puppy. Since it was our first time leaving our pup with someone else, we were a little nervous, but Chelsea made the whole experience reassuring and stress-free.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ohio City stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
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 Ohio City 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Ohio City with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
