“Elizabeth took great care of our 2 year old dog, Rory. She was completely reliable, sent lots of pictures, and we could tell he was well loved when we returned home. She left our house very clean and communicated well with lots of pictures while we were away. We will absolutely be using her again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Tiny requires a bit of special attention and Kelsey did a great job handling her. My home was also in mint condition when I returned after she completed the in-home dog sitting.”
“Jo is absolutely amazing! We have a very anxious and attached French Bulldog, Talula, and we’re so comfortable leaving her with Jo. She sends frequent updates and photos, and does everything she can to make Talula feel at ease. Most recently we left Talula with Jo for our wedding, and could enjoy ourselves knowing she was well taken care of!”
“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.”
“Elizabeth was amazing with our dog Fez while we were gone for nine days. She also stayed at our house and housesat for us. Very communicative, tons of photos where we could tell Fez was having a lot of fun and we came back to a very clean home and a very happy doggo. Definitely will be using again.”
“Christina was fantastic with my little ones. She stayed at our house, sent us photos, and checked in daily. It was such a relief knowing that my dogs are comfortable while gone. Definitely will use her again!”
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.
“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.”
“Highly recommend Breon! This was our first time leaving our pup overnight, and she made us feel very comfortable doing so. Great communication, our dog took to her quickly, and she left our place very clean as well. Thanks again!”
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.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats since I was old enough to remember them. I’ve helped raise three dogs from around the age of 10 weeks old, and along with that time and experience I helped my mom with training, walking, and playing with the animals. I currently am a cat mom to two furbabies, and I am looking to help other pet parents who need some extra assistance when they can’t be home 24/7 with their furkids. While I do work full-time M-F, I would be available for drop-ins after 5:30pm during the week am on weekends I’d be available for overnights on Friday or Saturday, as well as for drop-ins when overnights aren’t scheduled. I will not be offering the service within my own home since I live in an apartment complex. To help make it easier for the animals, I feel it would be beneficial for them to stay within their own space while I’m there temporarily.
“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!”
“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.”
“I was nervous about leaving my little one's with someone but Barb was great. She played with them and took them for walks. When I got home they were happy to see me but when I mentioned Barb's name they got excited so I know they liked her. I will recommend her to others and I will ask her to come back again.”
“Joe was so great. The dogs loved him. He was punctual, friendly and kept me updated. I was really able to enjoy my vacation knowing the dogs were in good hands. When I came home my house was tidy and he was very considerate during his stay here. I could tell the dogs were in good spirits. Joe spent a lot of time with them. Super grateful. Thank you Joe. I would highly recommend him to watch your fur babies”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Parma Heights
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.
Kayla went above and beyond our expectations. She stepped up to take care of our 2 dogs very close to the dates of our trip after another dog sitter had to cancel. There were photos of our “girls” every day. And then she cleaned up the house and washed her bedding before she ended her stay.
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Parma Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Parma Heights on Rover is $39.32 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 1,338 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Parma Heights. 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 Heights 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 Heights 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 Heights 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.
