“Kenna is great. Ive used her multiple times and each time has been great. She's on time and dog adores her. She is very considerate about specific things youbtell her about your pup. I'd recommend her to everyone! Thanks kenna”
“Molly and Caroline took great care of our cats when we were busy in the middle of a move and when we were away on a short trip. They were great with the cats and very nice. The cats loved them and enjoyed hanging out with them. We wholeheartedly recommend Molly and Caroline to anyone looking for a sitter for their fur babies.”
“Katherine was our first experience with Rover and was everything we could’ve asked for and more. Consistent updates, and she was able to accommodate changes in visit schedule at the last minute. Huge peace of mind knowing she was the one caring for our pets while we were gone. Can’t recommend her enough.”
“The best care I’ve had for my little dude! Melissa really cares for the animals. Making sure that they don’t feel alone and they are getting everything they need. Also putting my anxiety at ease with tons of check ins and photos, I never worried once about him. She went above and beyond by cleaning the silverware she used to make my cats food which was never expected but so kind! Thanks again Melissa!”
“She was great with my very senior golden retriever. Would definitely recommend her. She kept me updated on how my dog was doing and gave lots of love and attention.”
About: I was raised in a house with chickens, parrots, snakes, frogs and of course dogs and cats! I feel comfortable around any kind of dog or cat, no matter how shy or excitable. Any age group I am adept at handling as well, as I have a lot of experience caring for young animals I am free most days of the week. Thursday’s, Friday’s, and weekends are all wide open. My schedule is very flexible, just let me know! I can crate or walk your dog, and have no trouble cleaning up after or feeding a dog as well. I am great at playing with dogs, and making them listen to me.
About: ’ve been around dogs my whole life, my grandma trained therapy dogs, so I learned early how to care for pets with patience and structure. I’ve looked after both a Golden Retriever puppy and an elderly Shih Tzu with health needs, including meds and slow walks. I’m based in Gordon Square, work fully remote, and am super flexible for last-minute bookings, routine care, and giving your pet all the love they deserve. I work fully remote, so pet care fits into my routine really easily. I love starting and breaking up my day with walks, check-ins, or playtime — it keeps me active and gives me an excuse to get outside. I keep a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m able to adjust around your pet’s needs, whether that’s a midday potty break, an early morning walk, or evening feedings. I’m comfortable caring for pets in both my home and theirs — my goal is always to make your dog feel like they’ve got a second home (and a new bestie). In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep things familiar. At my place, it’s calm, clean, and cozy with plenty of attention, outdoor time, and space to chill. Wherever I am, your dog’s comfort comes first
“Veronica was very communicative and sent great feedback and pictures of my cats while I was away. She let me know if an issue with my litter robot and did her best to resolve the issue. I appreciate that she took a last minute booking and will be reaching out to her again in the future.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life. I grew up in a home with multiple dogs and have experience caring for many different personalities and needs. In college, I regularly dog-sat for friends and other pet owners. I’ve also raised my pit bull, Levi, since finding him in the middle of the road when he was just three months old, he’s now eight! From 2024 to 2026, I worked in partnerships and marketing for K9Grass, where I regularly interacted with dogs and professionals at pet-care facilities. I’ll treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I work from home, which allows me to build pet care naturally into my daily schedule and provide consistent attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I can accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, bathroom breaks, and medication needs while remaining flexible to each pet’s routine. Working remotely also means I’m available to give pets the care and reassurance they need rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I care for pets in clients’ homes by maintaining their familiar routines and providing consistent attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I also make sure pets feel comfortable and reassured in their own environment, giving them plenty of care and attention rather than leaving them alone for long periods.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and I have an 18 year old pup at home! I’m very passionate about the quality of life for our furry friends, and can’t wait to meet yours! Safety and fun are my main priority. I’ve transitioned to pet care full time! If you’re looking for someone to spend extended periods of time with your furry companion, I’m your girl! On top of house sitting, I’m also available for walks and drop in visits. I always make sure to follow instructions left by owners as closely as possible. I want you and your pet to feel comfortable and at ease with my care! I do my best to keep dogs exercised as needed so you have a sleepy pup by the end of the day.
About: I grew up taking care of a pug. When I was only 4 years old, she came into my life at the young age of two months. She amazingly lived until she was nearly 17. For all those years, I took care of her— playing with her and petting her endlessly. We would often relax together, getting cozy with blankets. She loved to play outside in the yard with me and catch some sun rays too. We bounced off each other's energy. I always made sure she was fed and hydrated and taken outside for the bathroom. My pug Penny had been in my care from the days of her potty training and first learning special commands, to being senile and needing extra assistance in terms of mobility and lack of hearing and sight. More recently, I had dog sat for my friend. My friend's dog needs about 4 hours of walking total per day, so we were always on the move. My friend's dog is getting old, and I could gauge when she was getting tired when we were walking and I adjusted to her needs. I always have water handy. She also loved playing the game where I hid her sheep plushie toy around the house in such good hiding spots that it would impress me when she would almost immediately find it and run it back to me, wanting me to hide it again in a new, more difficult to find spot. I work part time in downtown Cleveland, so I have a lot of free time throughout the week and weekend to dedicate to taking care of your dog. Depending on the day, I could show up periodically throughout the day, or I could pet sit at the house all day long. I do not take care of pets overnight. I pay attention to your dog's needs. I make sure they always have access to water. I set alarms to ensure I feed them at the proper times, taking note of the required measurement of food to feed them. I gladly show them attention and loving care, playing with them when they're enthusiastic about physical activity and having a blast, and petting them and helping them relax when they're feeling like taking a breather or are simply just feeling calm. When it comes to walking dogs, I make sure I'm fully aware of my surroundings. Being observant of other people, other dogs, and drivers at all times, I remain cautious while also keeping up with the dog's pace. I make sure to scan the ground ahead of me in order to avoid debris/poop catching your dog's attention and making them stop in their tracks to sniff/eat it. It's important that your dog doesn't eat things it's not supposed to, and I pay attention to detail and always try to ensure safety when it comes to your dog.
“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.”
“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. :)”
“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!”
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’ve taken care of pets of all types for over 10 years! I understand it is a huge act of trust to hire a pet-sitter, and I’m determined to do everything possible to put your mind at ease! I’m available for weekdays and weekends! I’m off work for the next two months, meaning I have plenty of time to care for your pet :) I am happy to come to your space and work with your pet’s specific needs! I provide walks, feedings, play time, cuddles on the couch, or a quick drive-by to build trust.
“Madi was just fabulous! She was consistent with visiting and taking care of my cat and worked with my apartment manager for apartment access. She communicated well and I appreciated her following up. I will definitely rebook!”

Christine was fantastic. I originally signed up for 4 checks. She was very punctual, getting there exactly at the times I requested. She also agreed to adding 2 more drop in times so I could extend my weekend. She sent pictures each time of my fur babies! My pets were taken care of! I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs
Allyson took wonderful care of my puppy and was reliable, attentive, and communicative throughout each visit. I really appreciated the thoughtful check-ins and updates, and she made sure my puppy got plenty of playtime, attention, and care. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in great hands while I was away. Would absolutely recommend!
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!

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.
