“Wow! Rachel is absolutely amazing! We had a last minute need for someone to watch our cats - 2 brothers that joined us from a foster home about 10 months ago. We found Rachel on the site, reached out to her, and she immediately responded and stopped by that day to meet us and Bo and Luke. Rachel was so kind with the boys from the moment she met them. They are still pretty shy, but Rachel was great sending updates and pics each day (although hiding under our bed) and ensuring their bellies were full and their potties were clean. Rachel clearly adores cats and truly knows how to take care of them. We would absolutely reach out to Rachel again….and are hopeful they will get to know her and not be so shy. So professional and so kind! Rachel even went as far as to bring in packages that were delivered on our front porch. Thank you Rachel!! You are a GEM!!”
“Ella did a great job watching my two cats while i was away for a week. Followed my instructions for their care and was communicative with me on how they were doing. Was very happy with the care they received”
“Matt was fantastic! He communicated with us, sent pictures and was flexible to add an extra visit the day we came home when our plans changed! Highly recommend him for anyone who needs dog/cat sitter!”
“We are so happy we found Joyce! Our dogs love her, we feel so at ease knowing they are taken care of while we are at work. Joyce is very understanding, quick to respond, and professional!”
“Melissa went above and beyond my expectations. I really appreciated her taking her own time to come meet Romeo and let me show her where everything was before the actual visit. I was really nervous leaving Romeo and she did a great job communicating and doing everything that was asked over the few days and was very flexible with last minute changes to the schedule. Would definitely book again!”
“Paula is my go-to for a while now and am so happy to have found her! I have had to run out of town a couple times now on short notice for sudden family matters and with Paula, the dogs are the one thing I don't have to stress about! I know they are taken care of and happy pups! She has bailed me out a couple of times now and I can't thank her enough! She even left me and the dogs a Christmas card the last time... so thoughtful of her! If you need someone for an upcoming weekend, I highly recommend her!”

Buddy was instantly comfortable with her thanks to her warm and welcoming demeanor. Knowing Buddy has someone that we can trust to drop-in while we are at work is very comforting. Highly recommend Jessica!!”
“Greg is a lifesaver. I used him to take care of my Cane Corso and Beagle mx dogs while I was out of town and he was AMAZING!!! He took excellent care of them, feed them, gave them potty breaks and played with them. Greg also updated me with pictures for each visit that he had with them. I can not rave enough about how excellent and amazing Greg was with my babies. I was able to take care of my business out of town and not worry about what was going going on at my house with my babies because of Greg. He took care of them like I would have done it myself!!

About: Hi! I’m Emily, a pet lover with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and more. I offer dog walking, boarding, daycare, and in-home care, tailoring each visit to your pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or daily exercise, I make sure every furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. I’ve been around dogs and cats for pretty much my whole life. But I have a love for all animals! I know it can sometimes be hard to leave your furry loved ones with a stranger, but I can promise you I will treat them like my own! They’re in good hands(: Let me know if you have any questions! I currently work as a server but am never there past 2pm and I have flexible hours! I’m super flexible with everything so if you have any concerns, reach out to me and I’m sure we can figure it out! I have two friendly cats who love to play and get along with all animals! They also don't mind hanging out in the basement if need be. I've got a large area indoors and outdoors to keep your pet busy or they can relax on the couch! We have a border collie mix pup as well who is friendly with other dogs, but very high energy. so I am able to keep them separate in my home if need be!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Painesville
Olivia did an amazing job with our skittish cat. It takes a lot for him to warm up to people, and he clearly liked her — which says a lot. She was responsive, followed all directions, sent updates and pictures, and was very friendly. We felt completely comfortable while we were away and would absolutely use her again. Highly recommend!
As usual, we knew that our dog was in good hands with Cindy. He’s a little uncertain with new people but he’s always happy when Cindy arrives at his house for a visit. She is always on time and he loves their walks together. If walks don’t work out (he doesn’t always like nighttime walks) she will spend a little extra time with him at home. I would definitely recommend her for your pets!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Painesville on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 954 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Painesville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Painesville 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Painesville. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
