About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is truly my passion. As a former veterinary assistant with extensive hands-on experience, I’m confident caring for pets of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. From energetic puppies to senior pets and special-needs animals, I understand how important patience, safety, and individualized care are for every pet. I have experience administering medications, recognizing signs of stress or illness, and making sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs extra attention, a calm environment, regular exercise, or specialized care, I’m committed to treating them like family. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and communicative, so you can feel at ease knowing your furry family member is in experienced and compassionate hands. With open availability and a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide reliable pet care that works around your needs. Whether you need daytime walks, overnight care, weekend help, or extended stays, I’m happy to accommodate whenever possible. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. Because I will be caring for your pets in your home, I will be sure to communicate with you of what your standard procedures are and will follow through with the same procedures to create a sense of stability for your pets.

About: Hi, I’m Nina! I provide dependable, stress-free care for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk to burn energy, or just some company during the day, I’ve got you covered. I focus on making each visit feel calm, safe, and tailored to your dog’s personality. For high-energy dogs, I keep walks active and engaging. For older or more relaxed dogs, I keep things calm and comfortable. I’m also happy to follow specific routines, reinforce training, and provide medication if needed. You’ll always know how things are going—I send photo updates and a quick summary after every visit so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Variable availability throughout the week - would like to find regular clients for recurring walks but also happy to help out here and there for occasional walking needs. I provide on-time, reliable visits, clean water, feeding (if needed), and lots of attention. I tailor walks to your dog’s pace and needs. I will provide photos and update after every visit. I will always respect your home and instructions.
About: I have had animals almost my entire life. I am a big animal lover and would love to give your dog a safe, energetic, and loving home while you’re away. I do have one friendly dog of my own who would love to keep yours company. I am a stay at home mom with availability any day of the week and a lot of flexibility. I would love to welcome in and/or care for your pet. I have a fenced in yard with kids and a friendly dog to keep yours company. I can crate if needed and cater any care needs.
About: Hello! I am a proud Clevelander and lover of the outdoors. I was previously on Rover as a regular dog-sitter and dog-walker, and looking to pick it up again as my schedule has become flexible. I loved caring for others’ dogs and meeting their needs when their pawrents were out of town or at work! I now live with my husband in a house with two pups of our own, a 8-year-old miniature poodle named Charlie and a 13 -year-old welsh terrier named Prim. I’m available for dog walking during the workweek! I have a flexible schedule these days and would be happy to walk your dog during the weekday. I always approach dogs slowly and allow them to sniff me first. On walks, I allow them to set their own pace. Then, I make sure they are comfortable and settled before I leave.
About: I have had many pets since I was a child. I have taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, bunnies, and fish. I love animals and know how difficult it can be to find a good pet sitter. I have been a sitter for cats and dogs in many different capacities, from walking dogs, to taking care of cats over their owner’s long vacations. I am able to walk any sized dog, play with them, and feed and clean up after them. I am able to feed and clean up after cats, and play with them also. I have the skills it takes to give animals their time to warm up, and understand the signs of illness or distress. I work very part time, so I am available every day of the week with only a few hours away from home per week. I have a pretty open schedule. I work part time in the evenings, and can arrange plenty of time during the week for pet sitting. I have a fenced in yard and 3 well behaved dogs. I also love walking dogs and playing with pets to keep them happy and healthy.
About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, and horses for ten years. My skills include cat socializing, dog walking, and overall pet sitting/care. As someone who has owned pets my whole life, I am eager to take care of yours! I just moved to the area and am not currently working! I have lots of free time and will continue to make time once I begin working my hybrid/remote work. I have experience caring for dogs in both an open yard and in smaller environments like apartments/closed yards. I am able to crate pets, give medicine to both cats and dogs, and provide a comforting environment to pets of all kinds.
“I am so happy we found Amber to watch our English bulldog! She sent us detailed messages after every drop in and sent plenty of pictures keeping us updated. We are so grateful for her !”
“Kourtney was very flexible to my hectic schedule to set up a meet and greet for a drop in visit she had with my dog Cash. He liked her and she loves dogs! Very good communication and it worked out great! Will use again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Jo made it an excellent experience. Jo’s reports were thorough and comforting so I felt good about how my cats were doing during my trip - even my elderly and needy ones!”
“rebecca was amazing with my fur baby. he has separation anxiety and she helped and cared deeply for him while i was away for 4 days. if you have a shelter dog rebecca will be the perfect for you because she has a lot of patience and genuinely care for animals!”
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful, and I am so thankful we found her! She completely eased my anxieties about leaving my two senior, high maintenance dogs for the weekend. It was obvious from the start that she is a true dog person. She followed all of my instructions, communicated clearly, and kept me updated with pictures throughout each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. She was patient, attentive, and more than capable of handling my senior boys and all of their quirks. I truly hope Melissa is willing to watch my pups again in the future because I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy sitter!”
“Tiffany is absolutely wonderful! We were going out of town and needed someone to watch our Motley Crue and she definitely came to our rescue! We have two dogs that absolutely adore her now and a big old Tabby that's very grateful that he got all his treats! I highly recommend Tiffany and you will know your animals are in good hands with her!”
About: Until I was 21, I never had a pet, but then Olive came into my life, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Over the last 12 years, our adorable boxer/pitbull mix has shown me why dogs are called "man's best friend" and for the last six, as I've been working from home, I've spent nearly every minute with her. I'm a remote, freelance writer who works his own schedule, so I am quite flexible and can accommodate yours and your pets needs essentially whenever you need me to. Having typed out unique instructions for my own dog, I know that every dog is unique and needs a different kind of care. I feel as though I'm equipped to handle whatever your pet needs, whether it's a walk, a feeding, or just a buddy to keep them company for a little while
About: I have had dogs my entire adult life and I am sure I can bond with your baby I understand basic cat and dog behavior I am retired so I have a desire to be useful and would love to have your pet as part of my regular daily routine I have two dogs and would not be able to watch in my home I can do pet sitting and walks or just campion visits
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Parma
Katherine is a saint. She took amazing care of our English bulldog while we were out of town. She went above and beyond to make her comfortable when our girl wasn’t feeling well and kept us updated with every visit. Thank you so much for the love you showed our Ellie.
Nicole was truly amazing and was so flexible with us. She respected our home and had patience with our puppy. She’s a great communicator and always stood in touch with us. If you’re ever looking for someone local and affordable, Nicole outshines the competition! Thank you!!
Patience was a dream! She handled our very timid and shy Dane with such love and care! Our dogs loved her, and she ensured they got plenty of pets and love with each visit. While the cats were fed with an auto feeder, water fountain etc, she made sure the machines were operating and gave them plenty of attention too! Would highly recommend her!
Paige was incredible! They hopped in super last minute and were able to stop in and take care of my pup after a sitter canceled. They followed all directions and was very patient with our boy in a situation that was new for him. Could not recommend enough!

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 Parma 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Parma choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Parma with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
