“Christina was absolutely amazing! She made the time to come meet my dog prior to the drop in and she listened to all of my care details and was very thorough and enthusiastic! She sent a great note after the drop in and made sure to take photos for me so I could see he was doing well! Will be using her regularly!!!”
“Sophie did an amazing job with our cats. She sent the cutest pics of our fur babies while we were away, and it was clear they were in great hands. This was our first time using Rover and everything was so easy and smooth. Looking forward to booking with Sophie again soon!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, including my black lab, Sadie. She taught me how to be thoughtful of how pets feel, and as she aged, how to clean up lots and lots of poop in the house! I believe pets deserve a happy alternative to being boarded, and I intend to give that genuine connection to any pet I encounter! I am currently on summer break from college, but I decided to stay in the area. I have a couple of part-time jobs, but they are only a few hours a day, so I can designate more time to taking care of your pets! I can be pretty flexible with hours and days, and I don't care what time of day it is to make sure your pet gets the attention they need. Pet safety is my top priority. I make sure pets are always in a secure environment—free from hazards, toxic plants, or small items they could swallow. I follow any routines or instructions you provide closely, from feeding schedules to exercise needs. As a collegiate athlete, I prioritize healthy foods and exercise, and I will make sure your pets do as well. In your home, I treat your space with respect and maintain a calm, comforting environment to reduce stress for your pet. I always supervise outdoor time and use secure leashes or fenced areas. You can count on regular updates and photos, so you feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Matthew did a great job with his drop in visits with Archie while I was working and my husband was away. Matthew was very timely and great at communicating. Archie enjoyed his time with Matthew and I look forward to booking him again!”
“We don't have a dog, but we do have 2 cats, a tropical fishtank, and backyard chickens. We reached out to Paula for check-in services over a long weekend trip we were so pleased. She had excellent communication right from the start, including special instructions for our little pet family, and she reached out politely in advance to remind me about some last minute details that I still hadn't confirmed with her. During the visits she took pics of the crew and gave an update both nights. (This was good, because Gizmo mewed that he didn't even get any food OR attention all the whole time, but I had photographic proof! Nice try, kitty!! You know how they are :) :) :) ) We will use Paula again! Thanks, Emily.”
“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!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I’m patient, reliable, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. I pay close attention to instructions, communicate regularly with updates and photos, and make sure every pet receives the care and attention they deserve. I work entirely from home, which gives me a highly flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. I can easily accommodate potty breaks, mid-day walks, and constant companionship throughout the week. My weekends are completely open for extended playtime, boarding, or overnight house sitting. When watching pets in your home, safety and respect for your space are my top priorities. I stick strictly to your established routines, double-check that all doors and gates are secure before and after walks, and keep in constant contact with daily photo updates to give you complete peace of mind. My home is a cozy, pet-friendly space where your dog's safety is my number one priority. While I do not have a fenced yard, I always keep dogs securely leashed during all outdoor bathroom breaks and walks. I strictly follow your feeding routines and provide constant supervision to keep them safe and happy.
“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!”
About: I'm an experienced pet sitter who loves spending time with dogs. I'm patient, reliable and, I treat your pet like family. I have owned and worked with dogs all my life (I'm 65) and feel this is a natural fit as I near and enter into retirement. I'm currently a full time pastor of a Lutheran congregation. The congregation is used to me bringing dogs with me to work. However, depending on the pet and the request of the owners, I can leave pets at my (or your) home and check in on them regularly. I am with them overnight. I do not have a fenced yard in my Condo so will walk them on a leash. I have my own fur baby, Annie, who absolutely loves other doggy companions. I work with each pet and client individually to ensure that we are meeting your needs. Crate trained animals are welcome but I've sat for many who roam free in the condo.
“Taylor is an excellent pet sitter! We are so very pleased with her loving and caring attention to our pups. Plus her communication with us while we were away was outstanding and provided much peace of mind.”
“What can I say about Kristin? She is AMAZING!! She makes owning a pet, raising a family and working a whole lot easier. Kristin is reliable and truly an animal lover. I know that my dog is in the best of hand with her, so thank you Kristin!”
About: Lived on farm growing up so am familiar with barn pets and house pets - have raised puppies and kittens - also used to have an amphibian resucue that I worked for - on foster team for humane society I am currently working on part time basis which allows me flexibility in visit times and length of visits . The work I do need to plan around I mostly have control of. I always have dogs leashed unless a fenced in yard is provided . I am conscientious and careful of doors and gates when entering and exiting home .
“Melanie was very responsive, kind and professional! She took great care of your two pups while we were out of town. Easy to coordinate with and look forward to working with her in the future!”
About: Hi there! I’m Belma — a 27-year-old nurse with a flexible schedule and a huge love for pups. I work 12-hour shifts, 3 days a week, which gives me plenty of time on my days off to care for your pet! I have a 5 year old golden retriever of my own and have experience raised two puppies. I’ve also spent years volunteering with animal shelters in the Willoughby–Eastlake area and grew up around all kinds of pets — from birds and cats to hamsters and dogs. I’m primarily offering drop-in visits and dog walking. I’m very active and love going on walks — so why not bring your furry friend along for the fun? I’m available most weekdays and cover both the Cleveland and Columbus areas depending on my workweek. Let me know if your pet has any special needs or medications — I’m happy to accommodate. Looking forward to meeting your four-legged family member! I work 3 days a week, 12 hour shifts so I am off 4 days a week currently and very flexible on those days. My work schedule does vary week to week however and I am both in Cleveland and Columbus during those times so we can discuss this further Currently looking for those needing assistance with dog walks throughout the day and drop in visits for potty breaks and shorter walks while you’re at work! No home care at this time.
“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!! Use Greg a d you will not be disappointed. I guarantee it!!! Terry and Carolyn”

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!

As of July 2026, there are 997 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:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
