About: With 9 years of experience, I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, from energetic large-breed dogs to cats with unique personalities and needs. I’m also comfortable handling elderly pets and those with medical requirements, ensuring they receive the care and attention they deserve. Beyond pet sitting, I specialize in house sitting, making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you're away. Whether it's keeping up with a high-energy dog’s exercise routine, understanding a cat’s body language, administering medication, or giving extra playtime and snuggles, I treat every pet as if they were my own <3 In addition to dogs and cats, I have about 4 years of experience with average freshwater aquariums. I’m comfortable performing water changes and maintaining tank health—I even have my own 10-gallon tank. If you're looking for a reliable, experienced sitter who understands the unique needs of big dogs, energetic pups, affectionate (or independent) cats, and even fish, I’d love to help! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, even with a full-time job. Since I’m passionate about animals, taking care of pets is something I truly enjoy, especially because I have my own pets. My workplace is filled with pet lovers too, and that connection keeps me motivated. I always make time to ensure every pet I care for gets the attention, kisses, and snuggles they need to feel happy and stress-free. Balancing my job with pet sitting allows me to do what I love while earning extra income. When I care for pets in my clients' homes, I make sure to fully understand their routines and where all essentials like food, leashes, and toys are located. I respect house rules, ensuring I know which areas are off-limits and where pets should be kept when I’m out. I keep the environment tidy and mess-free, ensuring a safe space for both the pets and the home. My goal is to maintain consistency, so pets feel secure and comfortable while you're away.
“Stephanie was phenomenal! Very attentive, quick response time and extremely caring. She took great care of Stormy and left her one happy pup. We will definitely be going through her again and 100% recommend!”
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.
“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 :)”
“Victoria sends super detailed care reports so I know exactly what happened while she was watching my dog. We appreciate the great care she provides!”
About: Hiiii, my name is Gianna! I live in Gordon/Ohio city area. I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I understand how important routines are and will always follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any special instructions closely. Whether your dog loves walks, playtime, or just companionship, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they need. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding, and can provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I have a large fenced-in yard with a privacy fence, giving dogs plenty of safe space to run and play. I also have a friendly dog who enjoys company and helps visiting pets feel comfortable. My home has no carpet (just a few rugs), so accidents are never a big issue, and I always keep a clean, pet-safe environment. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely and provide regular updates and photos so you feel comfortable while you’re away.
About: Labs have been in my life since I was born, but I got my kitten at age 6, so I'll say that's when my real pet care experience began! Animals are such a significant part of my life that I got my bachelor's degree in zoology. I've practiced dairy goat husbandry, studied monkeys in the Surinamese rainforest, and worked as an animal keeper at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. Not only do I understand how to care for animals, but I'm a truly playful and active person. There's nothing better than romping around outside with a pup and wearing one another out! That being said, I helped care for my family dog Farrah in her senior years and during that time we shared some of the most tender and mellow moments. If my admiration of pets isn't yet clear, I also paint pet portraits and you can see some in my profile photos. I’m a morning person, up with the sun, so early walks and check-ins are no problem! I also have a hybrid work schedule, which supports my flexibility around pet care. Pets are family members and the magnitude of trust put towards a petsitter is not something I take for granted. I care deeply about helping my clients feel at ease when I'm caring for their beloved pets. I'm meticulous and detail-oriented in everything I do, and that translates to following pet care directions and routines to a T. I'm open to talking through all of your needs and concerns to help make the experience excellent for all involved.
“Sydney and James are great with their care with Kiwi - they fed him according to my guidelines and also brushed him. They played with kiwi during their visits and enjoyed their time together. I will recommend them to anyone!”
“Ann and Kyle were amazing. They spent extra time with our senior dogs and took wonderful care of them! Other than checking on the camera to see what the dogs were doing, we never worried about them because Ann and Kyle were keeping us updated. We would definitely use their services again. We highly recommend them!”
“Sam was a wonderful kitty care taker!! She was super communicative, sent great updates and photos, and I felt comfortable knowing my kitties were in great hands. Will rebook!”
“Jackie was absolutely amazing when it came to watching my boys for the week of Thanksgiving. It was my first time using Rover and I was initially very nervous and stressed. Jackie arranged a time for us to meet each other and the cats before my trip and go over their needs in person. She came every day as arranged and sent pics to keep me updated. She also brought in our mail which was so kind and helpful! Highly recommend and would happily have her watch my boys again in the future!”
“Ellen did an excellent job dropping by to take care of my two kitties. She was very responsive and did everything I asked for them. Would definitely have her cat sit again!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets are family, and I strive to provide the same level of care, attention, and patience that I would want for my own. My background in healthcare has taught me how to be responsible, detail-oriented, and attentive to the unique needs of every individual, skills that translate naturally to pet care. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need patience and consistency to senior dogs who may require a gentler pace and extra attention. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, administering oral medications, reinforcing basic training, or simply providing companionship, I prioritize your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness. I am currently a Master's student in Medical Physiology at Case Western Reserve University, which has helped me develop strong time-management, responsibility, and organizational skills. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals as a balance to my studies. Despite a busy academic schedule, I am very intentional about managing my time and maintaining commitments. Whether it's morning walks, midday drop-in visits, evening care, or weekend sitting, I enjoy incorporating pet care into my routine because it allows me to spend time outdoors and connect with animals while helping pet owners have peace of mind. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet with patience, attentiveness, and compassion. As someone pursuing a career in healthcare, I value reliability, clear communication, and attention to detail, and I bring those same qualities to caring for your furry family members. I am committed to ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any specific preferences or needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and mental stimulation while also keeping their environment clean and safe. If providing care in my own home, I would ensure pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, fresh water, and opportunities for play and rest. My goal is always to make pets feel as relaxed and loved as possible, whether they are in their own home or mine.
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ohio City
We had a wonderful experience with Elinor as our cat sitter! She was a great communicator from our initial request through her very last visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away on an extended trip. Our cats don't always come out for strangers, so we were especially happy to see that they warmed up to her enough to come out for treats and even play with her during some of her visits. She sent us cute photos and thoughtful updates each day, which we really appreciated and loved seeing while we were away. Our flight home was unexpectedly delayed, and she was incredibly flexible about adding an extra day with the girls. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter!
Sam was quick to answer my Rover request, and very responsive to a few questions. She was extremely good with the cats. My skittish cat lazily opened one eye to see who was there then returned to sleeping. Strangers usually have her sprinting for under the bed. Highly recommended, would book again.
Victoria was great! I did a meet and great with her before I left on vacation and she immediately put me at ease. She is very personable and professional when it comes to cat sitting. She sent me pictures and updates everyday she stopped by. I highly recommend her.
Jackie is amazing! She takes such great care of my cats, spends extra time with them, sends lots of photos and updates, and even brings in my packages while I’m away. I always have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in such caring hands. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Sydney and James were fantastic! We couldn’t have asked for better! They took such great care of our Teddy, and really took our worries away with traveling. Above and beyond service, they definitely treated our little guy like their own. Will definitely be contacting them again!

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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. 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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
