“Victoria was amazing, yet again! This time she was very patient handling the growing pains and the changing dynamics between my new kitten and my older cat who I've loved for years. Evaluating the situation each visit and giving them everything they needed together and independently.”
“Stephanie was great with my cat while I was out of town for the weekend! Pretzel is a little shy but seemed to feel very comfortable in her care :) Thank you Stephanie!”
“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!”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Jackie take care of our cats while we were away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that Jackie is a true cat lover and professional.”
“Awesome job with my furry troublemakers! Were very communicative leading up to and during the booked time. Definitely recommend to anyone who needs their furballs looked after.”
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: I have a high-energy dog that has prepared me in all aspects of pet care! I am well-versed in on- and off-leash exercise and have plenty of ideas for indoor enrichment activities. Having raised my own dog from 6 weeks old, I’m familiar with all of the accidents that can happen when pets are home alone. I’ve also cared for elderly and medically-complex dogs. I work remotely during the school year and have summers off. My work is in pacific time, giving me plenty of time in the morning to take your pet on a walk, play outside, or just keep them company. Of course, when I’m off in the summer, I have all the time in the world to spend with your pets! I am open to the safety, trust, and environment guidelines set by each pet owner. As the owner of a needy dog, I understand that each family has different preferences for keeping their home and pets safe!
About: I've been caring for other people's dogs and cats for most of my life. At home I coparent a dog named Rooster, a wild chihuahua/terrier mix, and cat named Boki, a treat-obsessed Russian Blue. It's never boring. Earlier in my life I volunteered at Charlotte Animal Care and Control, where I walked, socialized, and cared for shelter dogs. It shaped how I think about animals: every pet has its own personality, its own needs, and its own way of communicating. It's on the human to pay attention and meet them there. That's still how I operate. Some pets want active play; some want a quiet, calm presence. I let them lead and give each animal the specific attention they actually want, not a one-size-fits-all approach. I believe all pets are good pets. I work full time, so weekday availability starts around 5pm. Weekends are where I have the most flexibility — I'm available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight sits on most weekends. If your pet needs someone during evening hours or over a weekend, that's my sweet spot. I come to you, which means your pet stays in their own home, with their own smells, their own routine, and their own hiding spots. No adjustment period, no unfamiliar environment to stress them out. When I'm with your pet, I follow your lead — feeding schedules, walking routes, medications, quirks, all of it. I'll ask the right questions before you leave so nothing gets missed. You can expect updates while you're gone.
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 (:
“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!”
“Sam was an amazing sitter! She was very communicative and really catered to the needs of my cat. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
About: I may be a cat dad now, but my house growing up was always filled with both barks and purrs. Once I was strong enough to hold back the leash, I was walking our sheep dog. I still enjoy taking family pets for walks when I visit. And in this cold, who doesn't need some motivation to walk? So I thought I might try to help you while working on my zeal for pup pets. My schedule is currently flexible, and so are my hours and availability. Creating time for bookings and keeping a schedule for your pet would be a priority. I treat your pet like I treat my own, but probably gentler! I take time for brushing, treats, pets, litter care, fresh water, and whatever you suggest would help them feel calm with a new person around. I'm also a photographer and know the value of a reassuring photo when away. I can drive to you, offering some peace of mind in case of emergencies.
About: Hi! I'm excited to offer dependable, loving pet care through Rover. As a lifelong animal lover and dog owner myself, I understand that pets are family, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently have my own pup, Charlie, who has taught me firsthand the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, and plenty of love and attention. Caring for Charlie has given me daily experience with walks, playtime, routines, and understanding the unique personalities that make every dog special. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, simply some extra attention while you're away, my goal is to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide personalized care that keeps them happy and stress-free. Services may include walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, administering medications if needed, potty breaks, belly rubs, and plenty of companionship. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your home and your pets. I respect your space, follow instructions carefully, and work hard to maintain your pet's normal routine while you're away. Whether your dog loves long walks, your cat prefers quiet companionship, or your pet simply needs a familiar face during the day, I'm committed to providing reliable and attentive care. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and building a lasting relationship based on trust, communication, and exceptional care. I work full time during the week, so pet care fits best into my evenings and weekends. I’m available for walks after work and have more flexibility on weekends for extra time with pets. I will follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, and I make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I’m attentive to their needs, keep their space clean and make sure they feel secure while their owners are away.
“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!”
“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. :)”
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.
“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.”

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!
Torrey was the best! We have to keep our kitties separated and she was very understanding of that and made us feel comfortable while on vacation. We got lots of photos (which we loved!) and she was very quick to respond/ communicate. This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely try to book Torrey the next time it is needed.

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.
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.

- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
