“Riya is simply awesome! Here’s why: She got sick before house sitting but still showed up and later she found out she had a flu and went to ER. But she still got back to our dog, Jacob, and took good care of him. Also, she disinfected the whole house and did laundry to make sure we don’t get the flu. Isn’t it just awesome!? I would definitely 100% recommend Riya, and we will book with Riya again.”
“I am so thankful for Dena’s time and help while i was away with my senior dog, Roscoe. She was very attentive, communicative, friendly and I felt comfortable with her sitting Roscoe for the entire week at my home. I received lots of pictures and my home was clean when I returned. Thank you again Dena!!!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Elisabeth took amazing care of our three dogs and our cat—everyone was happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved while we were away. On top of that, the house was spotless when we returned. It gave us total peace of mind knowing our pets and home were in such capable hands. Highly recommend!”
“Serena took very good care of our new furbaby!! We were a little anxious cuz it was the first time leaving him for a few hours. All was well eI will definitely call on Serena next time.”
“Jo was absolutely wonderful. This is our first time using Rover, and Jo was very helpful and communicative. She also was willing to work with our 3 dogs, cat, AND escape artist of a sugar glider. She was willing to book with us despite giving her less than a day’s notice. She made sure all the dogs got walks and love and attention and gave us daily updates with photos of all our animals. She even cleaned up our house of any mess the animals made and brought our packages inside. Overall great experience!”
“Barb took care of my two cats for 4.5 days and slept over with them. I was so happy with her service. I felt so much more relaxed when she got there. My cats loved her and she got the best pictures of them she updates me with. When I came home and they very were happy not stressed like usual. She even cleaned the house! I would definitely recommend and rebook with her thank you so much Barb!!”
“Our dog received excellent care from Madi for an overnight house sitting. Madi communicated regularly and provided several updates and pictures. Our home was kept clean. Most of all, our dog seemed to have a fun and comfortable experience. We would highly recommend Madi!”
About: I have grown up with and taken care of animals roughly my whole life! Having two cats and two dogs makes caring for animals a daily routine for me. I am also great with caring for kittens and puppies as I have raised all four of my animals since they were little. I have also cared for my own dog’s litter! I’m currently a full time student at the University of Akron & have a ton of time during the summer and holiday seasons to care for any type of animal as needed. I have crate training experience and will be able to crate your pet if needed. I am able to easily adapt to any other security measures as needed.
“Breon was great!! Our dogs our like our kids and Breon took excellent care of them. She stayed in communication daily with pics and videos. They are two energy dogs who also demand a lot of attention. They loved Breon and she gave them lots of love!!”
“James is the best!! He has taken care of my reactive, anxious, senior pup and my senior cat many times. I can comfortable travel internationally for over a week without any worries. My pets love James so much and he’s an amazing house guest. Can’t recommend him highly enough!”
“Ebony did a great job watching my 11 mo. old puppy over the weekend. She stayed and left the house spotless. She also communicated very well when my puppy had an issue with her harness (puppy was nervous about someone new) and was open about what was going on. Puppy was in good hands and I could relax on vacation. I would highly recommend using Ebony for an overnight stay!”
“What more could you ask for! Mature and responsible. Loved on my pets like I do…and they loved her! She shared pictures throughout the week which was GREATLY appreciated! I worried about my dog’s separation anxiety, but didn’t need to. Amanda instantly was one of the pack. She cared for the house, kept it clean, and brought in the mail. Perfect 5 star sitter.”
About: I take care of BOTH Cats and Dogs FULL-TIME! 🐾 I have plenty of experience of dog care since I was a baby, I used to work at a place for daycare/boarding animals, plus I board here on Rover! I am comfortable with dogs all shapes and sizes with my experience with my own pets in the past and Rover. I am happy to host your dog/cat in my home, as well as I am happy to stay in your home for your dogs/cats. I can also take care of your pet full-time in your home or mine! I have experience giving oral medication to dogs, in the past I had two dogs that needed a oral pill medication and a oral syringe medication. I am not certified in the medical pet care area but I do have some experiences taking care of elderly dogs and oral medication. I am very responsible and attentive to an animals needs. If you tell me your animal has a slight problem eating or going potty, I will pay attention and update you on everything! Tips would be greatly appreciated! :) I have four of the sweetest and most friendly animals, plus two of my parent’s family dogs! I have a lot of experience with variety in animals. I have a sweet boy pup who loves to nap and play all the time, very relaxed (until he has playmates! super excited). I have a girl pup who has LOTS of energy, loves belly rubs and loves attention on her, she also loves to play and meeting other pups! I have two kitties, one very calm and kept to herself, the other very sweet spirited and very very friendly. I have spent most of my life with animals, mostly dogs and recently cats. I have a passion for taking care of them. I’ve helped my parent’s family dog go through labor twice, raised the puppies and gave them basic training including crate training! 🐈⬛🪴 I have a fence in my backyard, which I use for any animal to go potty or have playtime! It however doesn’t have a gate. I will usually have a leash around a pole that is very long so there will be no problems with free roaming. If that’s something that my client isn’t comfortable with I can also just use a regular leash and walk with them! I also offer walking around the neighborhood if the backyard isn’t an option or preferred. I have a pet room, it’s mainly for any animal that isn’t mine, staying in there for bedtime, playtime and more. It’s basically their own space to relax and eat in peace! Your animal will be able to free roam in my home, while having the pet room to themselves! My animals will also be in a separate area in the home, just incase there are any issues or preferences. I’m very open to any suggestions or ideas with my clients. 🏡✨
“I can't say enough about how awesome Olesja is! She went above and beyond while taking care of our Sherman, which gave us incredible peace of mind while away. She gave frequent updates on how he was doing and kept his same routine while incorporating plenty of walks and other activities. We felt like Sherman had his own vacation! The house was also in pristine condition when we came home. We will definitely rebook the next time we need someone to watch our pup.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Parma is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Parma
Patience stayed at our home over the weekend to care for our two pups, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She kept us updated throughout her stay with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She treated our home with the utmost respect, and we returned to find everything clean and tidy. We highly recommend Patience to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. We will absolutely be using her services again in the future!
Dorianne took wonderful care of my dogs while I was away. She was incredibly patient with my poodle, especially after I recently discovered he has cage aggression. She handled everything with kindness and understanding. She even had her own emergency come up and still made time to care for my dogs late into the night, which I truly appreciated. She’s very caring, communicative, and sent lots of photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would absolutely trust her with my pets again!
Cameron did a fantastic job with our two dogs. He was communicative with us while we were out of town and proactively sent us updates on what was going on. He took great care of our house as well. I would definitely refer him to a friend and plan on working with him again in the future.
Amanda is a real pet star! She took care of my home respectfully. But more importantly she took such wonderful care of my fur babies. She kept me informed and immediately took steps to make sure my one problem elder fur baby ate her meals. She is amazing with all my babies. I’m sure they will miss her.
Alivia was extremely responsive and responsible. She took wonderful care of Anakin, giving him lots of exercise and cuddles. She also took wonderful care of our home. She sent regular updates and photos and responded to any questions promptly. Our house was immaculate upon our return, and she even stripped her bed, washed the sheets and replaced them before we arrived home. Highly recommend Alivia and hope to have her stay again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Parma
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Parma on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,370 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Parma. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Parma walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Parma maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
