“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!”
About: Hello! I recently moved to CLE for a full-time role post grad. With the travel requirements needed for work I don’t have time for my own pet so would love to be able to provide services for a range of different dogs and cats. I have ownership experience with both large dogs (labradors) and smaller dogs (miniature dachshunds) as well as cats. I grew up on a family farm so I have experience looking after a multitude of different types of animals as well. I am available to walk dogs or to come over and care for an animal when the owner is away as well. I promise to provide excellent care for your animal(s) and professional service too. Taking care of animals is truly a passion of mind and I would love to take care of yours! Currently working full-time so my availability is mostly on weekends. I work from home on Monday and Fridays so could potentially walk or care for animals during those two days as well. I live in an apartment and watch smaller animals at my place from time to time. Also able to go to clients’ homes and watch/walk animals at their place. I currently dog sit for two neighbors in my apartment building and would love to watch even more animals.
“Chloe was easy to communicate with and shared lots of love with my cats. Likewise, living downtown is tricky to work out parking and she was more than willing to work around that. She also has unbeatable rates, tip her well!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Veronica was great. She took pics and let us know how they were doing. She was understanding and helped with dealing with some digestive issues our cats were having. Would 100% book again.”
About: Growing up I have always had a range of pets including turtles, a chinchilla, Guinea pigs, fish, and dogs. Being around animals makes me happy! (But currently don’t have a pet due to my long work hours) I am a nurse and always go on walks on my days off! 4 days a week I will be available to assist in dog walks/pet care. Would love to help a pet owner I will take care of your pets as if they were my own- I will always make sure your pet is safe and happy! Will follow any instructions left by pet owner
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!
About: i’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes for several years now and always treat them as my own. your dog will feel right at home at my house with lots of room for play time and also lots of cozy places to snuggle! I work full time but am available intermittently through the week and on weekends for daytime and overnight care. We enjoy taking walks and exploring the city but also napping and relaxing when needed! I have a semi fenced in yard that is pretty spacious. Dogs are always leashed when taken out for safety purposes. Cleanliness is a top priority along with making sure your dog is happy and healthy.
“Shandra went above and beyond to find our apartment after we accidentally gave her the wrong address to our house! She was still able to check in on our cat while we were out of town, and she did a great job! We will definitely be booking with her in the future.”
“Amanda was great! My boys fell in love with her. She was right on time sent plenty of photos which made me smile and the boys were having fun. I highly recommend her. She is super sweet with a friendly fun personality😊”
“Katherine is prompt, honest, communicative and generally wonderful. She was easy to get ahold of and was extremely accommodating of all our changes. If she’ll work with us, we’ll work with her as long as she’s willing to dog sit.”
“Susana was great! We have a very elderly dog with a lot of issues and Susana did not hesitate to accept the booking and did a great job. She communicated well and problem solved when our pup was having some issues. Thank you for caring for Mitsi!”
About: I have taken care of multiple personal pets since about 13 years old, including a golden doodle, a Havanese (who was a senior dog with many medication needs) a Husky named Juneau and most recently a kitten named Ollie that I rescued from the APL. I frequently pet sit for family, friends and neighbors. My camera roll is filled with dog pics so you can expect pictures and videos during the walk. I have loved animals of all kind since I was young. I’m extremely organized, reliable and passionate and would love to make some new pet friends and keep myself active at the same time! I am currently only available on weekends at this time but may be able to make exceptions if needed and if it fits both of our schedules. I live in an apartment which helps prevent escape artists that like to bolt out of the front door. At your home or on walks, I would make sure to follow all of your instructions to make sure me and your fur baby have a great time!
“Jules was amazing! We had several weeks out of town and were hesitant to board our cat for the time frame. Jules was easy to communicate with, flexible with scheduling times, and left great reports/photos that were fun to read when we were missing our Tabby. She also was kind enough to let Tabby enjoy some time outside when able (her favorite thing), and even bring in some packages that were delivered while we were gone. We felt very secure and were able to enjoy our time away knowing our home and pet were so well taken care of, I can't recommend her enough.”
“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!”
“Issac was great walking and checking in on Loubie. He was dependable, attentive, and clearly cared about her well-being. Communication was great, and I felt confident she was well taken care of.”
“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: I’ve taken care of cats for as long as I can remember. I’ve helped take care of two very special corgis as well as my roommates bunnies. I’m referred to as the buncle (bunny uncle) when they’re left in my care I usually work mornings but that could change depending on the week, leaving my afternoons free. I will work with you, I’m pretty flexible and work something out that fits your fur babies needs ❤️ My cats are indoor. I have an apartment, it’s a duplex, on the top floor. If your cats don’t like other cats? No problem, they won’t interact. I cater to your cats needs so that way they feel safe and happy.

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.

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 Ohio City 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.
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
