“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Absolutely amazing experience! From start to finish, she went above and beyond. She communicated clearly and consistently, keeping me updated every step of the way. I never had to wonder how my dogs were doing. She sent frequent pictures and messages that showed just how happy and well cared for they were. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She made the entire process effortless and stress-free. I truly couldn’t recommend her more. She’s a gem and I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Elizabeth was phenomenal! She sent pictures everyday of my two cats and kept my mind at ease while being away. Also came home to a spotless home and the place better than when we left it! Will 100% rebook in the future for my next trip.”
About: Hi, my name is Tina! I grew up on a farm in rural PA which has provided me with a lifetime of caring for animals. I actually cannot remember a time when I haven’t had a pet. When I moved to Cleveland I didn’t know anyone here and I was working 12 hour night shifts. With my work schedule (and before Rover), finding dog sitting/walking was tough. Now that my job has become more flexible and I have the luxury of providing pet services, I want to make this task as easy as possible on you and your pup. I am comfortable giving both oral and injection medications. I am pet first aid and CPR certified. And also carry full pet liability insurance. My love for animals doesn’t stop at dogs. I can also drop-in to your home to look after your cats and other pets (birds, fish, rodents, reptiles, etc) - I have experience with them all. *Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate high energy dogs at this time* I am a registered nurse who works on an as needed basis so I am home most of the day except when I am out providing dog walks and drop-in services. My partner (Rick) works from home 100% of the time so there will always be at least one set of eyes, if not two, on your furry friend. *All of my clients will receive photos daily.* I know it’s hard to leave your doggo behind, but I will ensure that they are well cared for while you are away. We have a quiet, comfortable, clean home for your pup to enjoy in a safe and friendly neighborhood. We have a spacious, fully fenced in backyard with a doggie door that will fit up to 40lbs - meaning your dog will have 24/7 access to the outside. And pet cameras to watch them on if we so happen to not be home. We currently have 2 rescue dogs and a cat in our home - all of which are spayed/neutered, up to date with vaccines, and are non-territorial with new dogs. Whether it is humans or animals - providing loving care is my passion. I will treat your furry family member as one of my own.
“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!”
“Breon was amazing in taking care of an emergent situation for one of my pups while house sitting. It was her first time sitting for us, but kept us in the loop and continued to provide excellent care for my other dog in the meantime. Would welcome her back anytime!”
About: I can show that I am committed to providing the best care for each pet by taking the time to get to know them. I am responsible. I can demonstrate experience by noting the breeds of animals you've cared for, any behavior challenges. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I am passionate about caring for animals. I am able to plan my schedule around feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I enjoy spending time with animals and can provide consistent, loving care while keeping pet parents updated.🐾 I provide loving, reliable care for every pet as if they were my own. Depending on the service, I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure they have fresh water and a clean, safe environment. I am experienced with dogs and always pay close attention to their individual needs, personality, and comfort. I will also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel comfortable knowing their pet is being well cared for.🐾

“Riya was amazing! She stayed with Chewie and Chase even though it was short-notice, after another sitter couldn't get dates off from work! Chewie loved playing with her dog Archie, and I greatly appreciated that Riya gave updates and pictures throughout my four nights away. She went above and beyond checking Chewie for ticks after a couple were spotted on her dog. I couldn't be happier with her care for my fur babies while I was away.”
“Megan and Jeremiah were great. It was only one night, but they took great care of my foster dog, Zoey. They left my house prsotiem and even took out my garbage! They were both very friendly and kind.”
“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!!”
“Olesja was amazing with my dog Kopitar, she stayed at my house with him and he is a handful but she was patient and very communicative with me about his needs and what was going on. I came home to a happy well taken care of guy. Will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone needing a great sitter. Thank you Olesja!”
“Aspen was fantastic with the animals, frequent check-ins and so respectful of our home. We'd be delighted to have Aspen back for a future trip”

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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
