Christine was fantastic. I originally signed up for 4 checks. She was very punctual, getting there exactly at the times I requested. She also agreed to adding 2 more drop in times so I could extend my weekend. She sent pictures each time of my fur babies! My pets were taken care of! I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs

Ellen really saved my bacon! I was not having luck finding a Rover for Moo and she saved the day the last day before my trip. My cat has a complicated medicine regimen and I came home to a very happy Moo!

About: Hi, I’m Kris! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have two years of professional experience working in a busy doggy daycare, where I was responsible for safely supervising and caring for up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play, administer medications, maintain proper cleaning and disinfection protocols, and provide a safe, low-stress environment for every dog in my care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and pets with behavioral challenges or special medical needs. I’ve also fostered dogs in my home, which has given me additional experience helping nervous or transitioning pets feel safe and comfortable. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to three dogs and a cat, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a patient companion, medication, or simply lots of love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! et care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my day around consistency and animal care. I have experience managing multiple pets at once, so I’m used to building my schedule around feeding times, litter box maintenance, play sessions, and check-ins. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits and maintain a steady routine for each pet I care for. I’m comfortable incorporating visits into my day-to-day activities, and I plan my time so pets always get full attention without feeling rushed. Because I’ve worked in structured animal care settings and have fostered pets in my home, staying on top of routines like feeding, cleaning, medication, and companionship is second nature to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s something I naturally organize my day around I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care visit. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m careful with home entry and follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and any house rules. I keep doors secured during visits, monitor pets closely during interactions, and make sure their environment stays clean, comfortable, and safe at all times. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me. I approach each animal with patience and respect, especially shy, senior, or anxious pets, and I always move at their comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, consistent experience so pets feel secure while you’re away and you feel

About: I’ve had three dogs so far and also currently have a cat and absolutely love caring for them!! I have also done pet sitting for the past 5 years!! I am a manager at my current job and am able to make my own hours, so pet care can fit in any day and at any time! At my home, I have a fenced in backyard for my dog to play and occasionally let my cat out on a harness. I love playing with them during the day and make sure they are always fed and watered.

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 been caring for pets for around 10 years and have experience with both cats and dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve cared for my cats, Louie and Dash, as well as several dogs over the years, including Loki and his son Syrax. Through pet sitting for friends and family, I’ve learned that every pet is unique, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one happy and comfortable. Whether it’s playing, teaching simple tricks, going on walks, or just providing companionship, I make sure every pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I also have experience with puppies and highly energetic dogs. Syrax, for example, was the smallest and sickest of his litter and faced difficult odds early on. Through consistent care, patience, and attention, he grew into a healthy, thriving dog who is now even bigger than his father. Experiences like that have taught me how important it is to be attentive, adaptable, and committed to a pet’s well-being. I understand the bond people have with their pets, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I’ll always provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Tuesday afternoons and Thursday afternoons work especially well for me because I don’t have class the following days. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I’m currently a mechanical engineering student at the University of Akron and have classes Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday mornings, which leaves my afternoons, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends available. I make time every day to care for my own pets, and I enjoy spending time with animals whether that’s through walks, playtime, companionship, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. My approach is to learn each pet’s personality and routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for both energetic dogs and shy cats, and I know that every animal has different needs. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide regular updates with photos and videos, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, care, and companionship. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

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: Offering walks around the neighborhood, potty breaks and hikes! Have been training, competing, exercising and hiking my pups for 20+ years. Both my pups are avid hikers and would you love to offer other pups the experience. All local trails - on leash - will send pics of your pups big day out! Is a hike on your pups bucketlist? We can make that happen. Hike length can be varied based on pup age and their fitness level. Can take well behaved pups siblings together and with groups of other pups if you are looking for play friends! I can walk dogs early in the morning and in the evenings during the week. I am flexible with schedules and walks/hikes on the weekends. I can care for your pet based on your specific needs and instructions. We can tailor services to the personality and needs of your pets

About: Experienced with diabetic pets, including insulin administration and blood glucose monitoring. Hi! I provide reliable, in-home pet care so your pet can stay comfortable and stress-free in their own environment. I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent while you’re away—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply having someone there with them. I’m very attentive to behavior and always make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m experienced with pets that need extra attention, including administering medications, insulin, and monitoring blood glucose levels. I understand how important timing and consistency are, and I take care to follow routines closely and safely. Rates are customized based on each pet’s routine and level of care. For pets needing extended time, consistent presence, or specialized care, pricing may be adjusted accordingly. I also spend quality time with the pets I care for, so they’re not left alone for long periods and have consistent companionship throughout the day. You can expect regular updates and communication so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to keep your pet comfortable, cared for, and in their normal routine while giving you peace of mind. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to see if I’m a good fit for you and your pet! I like to add a little fun into my routine with animals. I did work at a doggy daycare for about three years, until I successfully came into the medical field. Missing my favorite pups that I created a great/exciting bond with them. I would still like to create new bonds, even if I'm not at the daycare!! I usually write down a schedule sheet on what your pet and I have done doing the days that I have been sitting. Always asked for permission before doing anything. Making sure everything is locked up and looking nice once I leave.

Katherine was amazing. She took care of my 13 year old husky who is stuck in her ways. Despite Roxy not being very welcoming Katherine didn’t give up and was able to give Roxy her meds twice a day and let her out. She even cleaned up after Roxy when she had an accident in the house (no fault of Katherine’s). Her notes and pictures for every visit was such a comfort.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Parma on Rover is $17.76 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,425 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Parma. 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 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 .

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Parma. On Rover:

  • 96% 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.

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.
