“Brittany was such a joy to work with while we were out of state for 6 nights. She took fantastic care of our two somewhat high maintenance dogs, and made it so easy for us to be present on our trip. She sent plenty of pictures and our girls were clearly happy spending time with her. We will absolutely try to book with Brittany again in the future.”
“Elizabeth is always a joy! My cats love her and she always leaves the house tidy and out together. She is communicative, attentive, and always goes above and beyond to make sure you know your pets are in good hands. 10/10 will book again!”
“Dena is the best! She always kept me up to date on how our dogs were doing. I could tell that our dogs just absolutely loved her. Would love to have her back any time!”
“Riya was communicative and our boy was very comfortable with her while we were away. Getting all the photos and updates made us feel at ease and we’re thankful.”
“We have 5 dogs which can definitely be a handful so we can’t trust them with just anyone. Joe did an awesome job at our meet and greet to do a slow introduction so everyone involved felt comfortable. Joe stayed for 4 days, 3 nights and did very well with all of them, keeping us up to date on feedings and pics of the pups playing. He also took care to leave the house in good clean condition, we unfortunately had a leak in our bay window after a heavy rain but Joe cleaned it up to make sure no further water damage occurred while we were gone which was very appreciated. We would definitely hire Joe again if needed.”
“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.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and finding someone to stay overnights with my pets. That was a really big deal for me. James has been amazing since the first time we talked. He took great care of my babies, my home and made my husband and I feel at ease. He was communicative, punctual and transparent. I would recommend James to anyone!”
“Madi is great with our dog, Henry! She took wonderful care of him, and when our power went out during a heat wave while she was watching him, she stayed with him to make sure he was safe and comfortable. We really appreciated her responsiveness and the extra care she showed. Henry loves her, and we'd definitely recommend her!”
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 is the best!! See my prior reviews for more appreciation for her :) Breon just watched our pups for an extended stay and she was incredible as usual. She always keeps us posted with how the pups are doing and sends such fun photos and videos. Our dogs absolutely adore her! Breon is great with communication and this eases worries when away from our furbabies. We know they’re always in good hands and she treats them like her own. Breon is an absolute gem and we are so glad to have found her to take care of our girls!”
“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.”
“This was Brody's first time with a petsitter at home. Maura made us feel very comfortable and kept us updated on how he was doing with frequent messages and photos. It was reassuring to know that he was safe and well cared for in the comfort of his own home and that she maintained his usual routine. We're looking forward to being repeat customers!”
“Devaney took the time to get to know our pets prior to pet sitting for us. She was able to form a positive relationship with our Boerbel, who is very untrusting of strangers. She took excellent care of our dogs, cats, other animals, and house. She sent text updates every day with pictures and videos. We will definitely hire Devaney again, and highly recommend her to others.”
“If you're like us, we look for care providers with multiple reviews so we have a better idea of who we're hiring. But everyone needs to start somewhere, and this time we decided to give someone a chance who hadn't received reviews yet; boy did we luck out. Jaina did a fantastic job looking after our 80 pound loverboy, Luca. She stayed in our home while we were away five days, and both he--and our home--were well taken care of. He even got a daily walk (in winter, no less!). Jaina is who you want in a sitter: responsive, reliable and kind. She provided daily updates and photos of our dog, too. We would hire her again, and suggest you do too before people catch on and her rates go up.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Parma is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Parma
Daisy was great! She sent photos of the animals daily, kept in touch when she was coming and going from the house and followed all the rules and expectations we set up while we were away. If she had questions or something was unclear she was sure to communicate with us. Our animals loved her, even the most timid one! She left our home clean and even offered to do laundry. We would definitely book with her again.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Parma on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,359 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.

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.
