“Kaylie is amazing and made sure to give lots of updates and photos. She was a fantastic sitter for my pup and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again in the future!”
“Amanda is great. Unfortunately she got unexpectedly sick with the Flu. However, she is AMAZING on communication and care, so we were able to work everything out. She handled it very professionally.”
“Breon was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs! We read every review and they could not be more accurate; Breon has a warm, welcoming presence and she clearly loves what she does. Our dogs immediately took to her when we first met so we knew she would be a great fit. Her communication was excellent, which helped us feel so comfortable with her caring for the dogs. She sent such precious pictures during the walks and during their time hanging out together in the evenings. We also so appreciate Breon’s thoughtfulness in keeping our home tidy, such a nice touch that really helps you feel relaxed when you return home. We recommend her highly and will absolutely be having her stay with our pups in the future! Thank you Breon!!”
“JoHannah stayed with my dog and cat over a holiday weekend. She kept me updated on what was happening at home and included pictures! She is friendly and communicative. My pets seemed to enjoy their weekend with JoHannah.”
About: I’ve grown up with animals all throughout my childhood, which i’ve helped care for. I had 4 dogs in my family home and loved growing up with them. This has helped me learn many skills and how to care for dogs. I was so interested in joining Rover because caring for animals is something I naturally enjoy. I would love to help families and to be a trusted person that you can rely on. My animals mean the world to me and I know how important it is to find the right person to care for them. Would love to get to know your four legged friends! I’m currently available during the weekdays as well as weekends. I work a job but have some time in between assignments so I am currently very flexible. I will accommodate to the needs of every animal making sure they feel as safe and comfortable as they can be. I will build trust and help every animal.
“As always, Jo is THE BEST. I never have to worry they are being well cared for. She is very observant of their behavior. We always enjoy her running commentary throughout her stay! My pets LOVE her!!”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have grown up caring for dogs and cats of my own, as well as pets belonging to friends and family. I recently lost my 14-year-old soul dog, who was a huge part of my life. I miss them deeply, and caring for animals has always brought me so much joy. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care I would give my own. As a nurse, my schedule can vary between day and night shifts, so my availability is somewhat scattered. I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs when my schedule allows and will always communicate clearly about my availability. My flexible schedule also gives me the opportunity to provide care at different times throughout the week! I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and needs while providing plenty of patience, attention, and affection. My goal is to create a trusting environment where your pet feels right at home while you’re away.
“I have had Alexis sit for my pit Mac before and just recently for almost a week; and as previously she did an excellent job. She kept me well-informed daily with pics and updates. She’s extremely caring and professional as well in her services!! I will definitely use her if needed again and highly recommend her!!!”
“Danielle was truly heaven sent while we were on our honeymoon. Our dog has special needs and she handled everything like a pro! Our pup even had some tummy troubles while she was there and she went absolutely above and beyond to take care of him until we could get back. We are so grateful to have found Danielle and we will absolutely book with her again!”
“Excellent communication. Dejaun was able to quickly connect with our dog, who can be skittish with new people. He sent lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. He stayed in our home and left it really neat. We will definitely contact DeJaun the next time we go out of town!”
About: Experienced pet sitter and dog walker in Lakewood with two years of experience! I grew up around animals, and currently have cats and a dog of my own, including a wonderful senior cat and a very special reactive dog. Animals have always held a very special place in my heart, and I prioritize your pet's comfort and happiness by treating them as if they were my own. I maintain a safe, stimulating environment and keep a consistent routine to ensure your pet feels secure. Whether managing high-energy breeds through active play or helping shy pets come out of their shell, I approach every pet with patience, understanding, and empathy. I love sending pictures and updates of your pets during every visit! I pride myself in staying vigilant for any signs of distress. In an emergency, I stay calm, follow our pre-discussed plans, and communicate with you immediately. I have experience with young pets and senior pets, and can tailor my care to their specific life stages. I truly love witnessing the unique quirks that make your pets so special, and I look forward to meeting your fur babies! I’m currently working part-time, and am available Thursday-Sunday throughout the day. I am also happy to work with weekday evenings, so please feel free to discuss. I am very flexible, even with last-minute plans! I follow your care plan to ensure I provide the best of the best for your pet! I strive to go above and beyond, and care for your fur babies like I do my own.
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.
“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.”
About: I will make myself available to do everything possible to keep your dog happy and calm while you are away. Animals are my passion and come natural to me. You will have to worries leaving them me. I’m currently working part-time cleaning houses. As well as, babysitting and pet sitting. I make my own schedule so I can be available when you need me. I try to stick to the routine the pets are most used to as not to stress them out too much. Regular feeding, walking, etc.
“Jeannie was absolutely amazing! She watched our three pups—Lulu, Whiskey, and Indie—and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the very beginning, her communication was thoughtful and consistent. She kept us updated with tons of photos and videos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Each of our dogs has their own personality, and Jeannie gave them all the love and attention they needed. It was clear she truly cared for them like they were her own. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs—and that’s the best feeling in the world! We would 100% book with Jeannie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and kind to care for their pets. Thank you, Jeannie! P.S. she makes one heck of a banana blueberry muffin 😊”
“Shannon was so detailed and extremely caring for my girl!! She consistently sent pictures and updates about when she was hanging out with her. This was my first experience leaving my pup at home without us and I could not have had anyone better! Thank you again Shannon, and we will for sure see you again!”
“Lisa is amazing! She was able to help us out last minute and took such good care of our doggies. She sent us so many photos and videos, and I could tell our dogs were getting all the love. Would absolutely book her again!!”
About: I have been a cat and dog owner, walker, and lover for nearly two decades. I have extensive experience working with animals of all sizes; I had a Papillon growing up for 9 years and was a stepmom to an 11 year old pitbull who recently passed away. I adopted a bonded kitten pair in 2018 and now have two 4 year old cats. Since I am quite athletic, I can walk, run, and play with high energy and demanding dogs and cats. I have had experience administering oral medicine to dogs and cats as well as bathing. I can't wait to love and take care of your fur babies! My two cats, Tia and Tamara live with me. I feed them twice a day and play with them every night. Additionally, I brush them weekly to prevent hairballs and excessive dander. I generally feed them in the morning and night and play with them / take them on a walk ~1 hour in the evening. I can feed, walk/run, give medicine to and play with your dog(s) as much as desired. Unfortunately, my cats do not like other cats but they do like dogs in the case of an overnight stay. I can crate you dog(s) if needed. As for cats, I can also feed, play with, and administer medicine (if needed).

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Parma
Daisy has the top two qualities you want in a pet and house sitter - communicative and trustworthy. She made sure she knew the cat and house routines before we left and gave me daily photo and text updates. Returning home to find the cat happy and the home is perfect order means I’d be happy to hire Daisy again and you should too.
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 of House Sitting in Parma is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $104 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
