“Summer was very flexible and accommodated unforeseen circumstances. She really treated Teddy like her own. He appeared to be right at home. Thank you for taking care of him.”
“Karin did an awesome job, our communication was frequently, she understands what a dog mom needs. She sent me updates, photos and details. She take care of Noah like if was her own. She made me feel secure to be away from him. Ill recommend her 100%.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received while staying with this wonderful couple. We know he can be a little shy and withdrawn when he first meets new people and is in a new environment, so we especially appreciated their patience, kindness, and understanding as he settled in. They treated him like one of their own, gave him plenty of love and attention, and kept us updated so we always knew how he was doing. It was such a relief to know he was safe, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. We are incredibly grateful for the time and care they gave him, and we would absolutely trust them with him again. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care about their dog and make them feel at home. ❤️🐾”
“I have used Lynn multiple times and she is absolutely excellent. Reliable, caring, and completely trustworthy. I have total peace of mind when my dog is with her. Also great communication. Lynn is the best and I highly recommend her.”
“Christine did a fantastic job boarding my Doberman! I got lots of pics and regular updates so I felt I had a good understanding of how my pup was doing. She boarded my dog over Easter and Christine even took her over to her family’s house where my dog participated in the Easter egg hunt! When my girl comes back home with no emotional issues, I know she had a good time and felt safe. I’ll board with Christine any time.”
“Debra took great care of my Boston terrier Oliver. He had to be on antibiotics and a painkiller at the time and she administered the pills to him daily. I am truly grateful he loved playing with her two little dogs too.”
“Mike was very welcoming and it was obvious our pups loved the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere of Mike’s house and his demeanor. I highly recommend Mike to watch your dog(s).”
“My dog, Lola, enjoyed Thanksgiving week with Samantha and I’ve already booked the Christmas holiday week for her. That’s high praise for Samantha’s positive style & work ethics. ***** 5 stars!”
“Nicole took great care of my dog, Cooper! She was very easy to coordinate pick up and drop off times and she provided updates along with pictures during the stay. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Jennifer gave us many updates throughout the day when we were on our vacation out of the country. She treated Winnie as her own, letting her spend a lot of time on her lap and cuddling. We felt confident that Winnie was in good hands during her stay.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs. I grew up around cats and have been a dog owner myself for the past 5 years, in addition to regularly caring for friends’ dogs. I work a 9–5 job from home, which means your pet gets plenty of company throughout the day rather than being left alone for hours. I’m also able to take dogs on an extended walk during my lunch break, so they can get some exercise, fresh air, and attention in the middle of the day. Whether your pet needs a long walk, some playtime, a cozy companion while you’re away, or just a little extra TLC, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and preferences. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for! My weekly routine is pretty consistent, which is great for dogs who love having a predictable schedule! Every workday I start each morning with a trip to the gym, then come home and take the pups on a nice, extended walk through the Metroparks near my house. Once we’re home, I settle into work for a few hours while the dogs get some downtime. I have a fenced-in yard, so I like to let them out regularly throughout the morning to stretch their legs, sniff around, and get some fresh air. Lunchtime means another extended walk! It’s a great way to break up the workday and give everyone a chance to burn off some energy. Afterward, my own dog usually settles in for a well-earned afternoon nap while I finish up work. Once the workday wraps up, we usually head outside for one more walk before settling in for the evening. If everyone’s feeling a little less energetic, we’ll skip the walk and have some backyard fun instead, such as fetch, tug-of-war, or just general goofing around. Basically, your pup can expect plenty of exercise, fresh air, playtime, and company throughout the day, with lots of opportunities to relax and recharge too. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide a comfortable, low-stress home environment where pups can feel like part of the family. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside for fresh air and playtime, along with plenty of opportunities for walks and exercise throughout the day. Since I work from home, I’m also around to keep an eye on things and make sure everyone is doing well. For daycare and boarding, I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, crate time, and any other preferences or house rules you provide. I’ll also make sure dogs have time to relax and nap when they need a break from all the excitement. When introducing dogs to my home, I prioritize compatibility and a gradual introduction so everyone feels comfortable. I want every pup staying with me to feel safe, supervised, and genuinely at home, not like they’re being dropped off somewhere unfamiliar.
About: I've cared for dogs for the past 3 years and have loved every minute of it. I also have a dog of my own, Brooklyn, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone. I treat every dog with the same patience and attention I give him. My medical training as an oral and maxillofacial surgery resident has also taught me to stay calm, pay close attention to detail, and take responsibility seriously. I work full time as an oral and maxillofacial surgery resident, so I plan my pet care around my hospital schedule. I offer dog walking and overnight boarding, and I'm available every day from 6 PM to 7 AM. That means your dog gets my time and attention all evening and overnight. Please message me before booking so we can confirm that my schedule fits your dog's needs. I'm attentive and engaged with every dog in my care, and their safety always comes first. I keep dogs on a leash during walks, follow your feeding and treat instructions, and stick as closely as I can to their normal routine. Overnight guests stay with me in my ground-level apartment. There's no fenced yard, so outdoor time is always on a leash and supervised. I'm happy to send photo updates so you can see how your dog is doing.
“This was my first time using David and he is FANTASTIC!!! He is very responsive. I got plenty of pictures and updates during Rocco's stay. I could tell Rocco was having a great time and was well taken care of. I would highly recommend him and will definitely be using him again in the future. Thank you for taking such great care of Rocco!”
“Julie and her family were excellent with my somewhat anxious dog Sammy, and made him feel at home from the beginning. She sent daily pics/videos. Highly recommend her!”
About: Hi! I’m Danielle, and I’ve always loved dogs and their fun, energetic personalities. I grew up with a yellow Lab who was part of my family for 15 years, and I regularly help care for my sister’s and friends’ dogs. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy being active with dogs. I’d love to give your pup plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and love while you’re away! I am a full time teacher but available in the evenings after 4pm. I am available most weekends as well! I am an early riser and enjoy spending as much time outside as possible. I have a fenced yard and small sun porch. I do not have any other animals in the home so I am able to be very attentive and accommodating to your pets various needs! I live near a small public park and am walking distance to Edgewater Park. I also am more than happy to take your dog on hikes and have a vehicle that is pet-safe.
“Pamela was great! We came to Cleveland from out of town for a sporting event and needed a place for our little pooch to crash while we were competing in the event. Pamela provided a great “home away from home” for our little dude. We received pictures of him having a good time, and he seemed really happy and content when we picked him up. Would totally use Pamela again if we get back to Cleveland and need a dog sitter!”
“Marcie & family excepted my request on short notice. She sent pics. She went above and beyond for me and my pup. Her family treated him like one of their own. And for that, I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much!!!”
About: I have 10 years of hands-on experience caring for my own Chocolate Lab, which gave me a strong understanding of the love, patience, and attention dogs need. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, companionship, and lots of affection. I truly enjoy being around animals and will treat your pet like family. 💜 I work full-time during the week, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pet care during evenings and weekends! - Boarding: Available Thursday evenings after work through Sunday. I work remotely on Fridays, allowing me to be home and provide extra attention and companionship throughout the day. - Dog Walking: Available Monday-Thursday after 5:30 p.m., Fridays after 1:00 p.m., and anytime on Saturdays and Sundays. I live in a clean, comfortable two-bedroom apartment with plenty of space for your pet to relax and feel at home. I can also accommodate crating if needed and will happily follow your pet’s usual routine and any specific care instructions. I’m fortunate to live near several walking trails and dog parks, making it easy to provide plenty of exercise, outdoor adventures, and fresh air. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being and will treat your fur baby with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. My goal is to make sure you feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is in caring, responsible hands. 💜

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Parma
Katherine has been taking care of our dog for many years and we recently left George with her for about 4 weeks. Katherine did a great job introducing George to her dogs and George had a fantastic time at her house. Would 100% recommend her services to anyone looking for a kind, reliable pet sitter!
We had a wonderful experience! Our two girls were so well cared for while we were away, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Everything went smoothly, and we came home to two happy girls! We’re so grateful for the care and attention they received and would absolutely recommend!
Alison is wonderful! She watched our dog once before while we were out of town and we were so pleased with her we booked again. She treated our pup so wonderfully and gave us updates about how she was doing. When I came to pick up our dog, I could tell she was very comfortable and calm. It was obvious she was well cared for. I will absolutely book with Alison anytime we need a dog sitter.
Kara is the absolute best. I don’t worry about my Maggie for a second when she’s with Kara. She’s happy to go and enjoys her own little vacay. Kara sends photos and updates daily. Our Maggie is a bit of scaredy-cat when it comes to rain/storms and was at Kara’s house during a few at her last stay and Kara updated us and loved Maggie through it. Your pet will not be cared for better anywhere else. Kara is the right choice!!
Chelsea and her husband are always great with a watching Hank during the day for me. This time they watched him for 2 nights while I was out of town. I got photos everyday and he always has phone hanging out in the pool and playing with the other dogs. Glad I have someone I can trust to watch my little buddy for me.
Tina & Rick are my go too sitters; they are kind, compassionate and understanding towards my Husky (and her behavioral changes as a senior dog). They are always flexible, which is good because I’m a huge procrastinator!!! But definitely book well in advance don’t be like me. 😂
Cody had a great time at Nicole's house. I knew he would be in good hands with her and her small children and their big dog. I'm so glad he settled in there and I highly recommend Nicole. She is so pleasant and kept me updated on Cody. I will definitely use her again on tue near future!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Parma can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Parma home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Parma.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Parma. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
You and your Parma sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
