About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to Baker, our 5-year-old adopted coonhound. He’s such a big part of my life that he even inspired me to write and publish a children’s book about him, Learning to Count with Baker the Dog! Having Baker has given me years of firsthand experience with the responsibility, attention, patience, and love that go into caring for a dog. My husband and I also regularly help care for our sister-in-law’s two dogs when she’s away, sometimes having them stay with us for several days at a time. We also love helping our friends by watching their dogs in our home when they need a sitter. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet. Whether your dog is staying with me, needs a walk, or just needs some extra attention and company, I’ll treat them with the same care and affection I give Baker. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or other instructions you provide. I also understand that every dog has their own personality, and I’ll take the time to learn what makes yours feel comfortable and happy. You can expect dependable care, great communication, plenty of updates and photos, and lots of attention for your pup. I’d love to meet you and your dog and help give you peace of mind while you’re away! I work fully remote from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day and makes pet care fit very naturally into my routine. I’m able to be present for regular walks, potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day rather than leaving a dog alone for long stretches. Because my schedule is flexible, I can also adjust around each dog’s normal routine and specific needs. Whether your pup is staying with me, needs a daytime visit, or just benefits from some extra company and attention, I’m able to make their care a consistent part of my day. When caring for pets in my home, I do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and part of the family. Since I work remotely, I’m able to be home with them throughout much of the day for regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also make sure to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and will learn about their personality, preferences, and any special instructions before their stay. Because we have our own dog, Baker, I prefer to do a meet-and-greet before boarding whenever possible so we can make sure the dogs are comfortable together. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their home and their pet’s established routine. I’ll follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any other care needs, while making sure their pet receives plenty of attention and companionship. For either type of care, communication is very important to me. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: My name is Ivette and I currently study at Case. My husband is a USPS mail carrier and I work from home. Currently, I have one dog and two rescue cats🐾. During the pandemic, I spent a significant amount of time with my pets indoors where I had the opportunity to take care of two litters that my dogs had. I learned many skills during that time. With age, my dog became a senior dog and had to take oral medication so I am used to giving oral/topical medication to pets. I have been living in the Cleveland area since 2019 but I am originally from Texas. My current home has a fenced back yard and a good route for walks. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.
“Flora was the loveliest to me and Carter. From the initial meeting she was so kind, gentle, attentive, and understanding with Carter. She wanted to know the details of his personality and the activities he likes. She left me detailed notes of how their day and evening went and sent professional like photos. She loves walking so I knew Carter would be well exercised, even in the colder weather (which Carter loves). Thank you for the wonderful care!”
“Tove and Jerry were terrific. All the glowing reviews regarding their home are 100% accurate. We couldn’t have been happier with the care they gave our young golden doodle. They were very flexible and worked easily with our drop off and pick up times. I received daily pictures/videos of our pup. They were very gracious hosts and treated Cooper like he was their own. A++++”
“Jenna was so awesome!! Very communicative and responsive with scheduling, sent lots of pics and updates throughout each day, had a beautiful and safe home for my dog to play and relax. He even came home with a new toy!! Absolutely would recommend.”
“Katie is AMAZING!! From the moment I dropped my puppy off until I picked him up. She updated me sent me pictures and was very responsive. I booked her with short notice and also longer visit. I had to add a day and she accommodated it. I will definitely be using her services again in the future. If I could give 10 stars I would she is great.”
“Always a pleasure, and I’m so grateful to have Andrea as our dog sitter and extended family. She is very formative and communicative and always send pictures and updates. So I always feel secure.”
“Mike was fantastic. He took great care of our dog while we were out of the country. He sent us photo updates throughout the stay. His backyard is fully fenced in and beautiful. And Pickle and Burt were very welcoming to Theo. We will book Mike again when we need a sitter. Highly recommend”
“I'm very tardy in completing this review - I thought I had done it! As always, Sandra was GREAT! She sent us pictures of Casey and at the end of our vacation, we received a wonderful video w/ music. It made my day! He was kept busy, loved on and barely noticed we were gone. LOL I trust Sandra 100% with my baby. Thank you!!!”
“Cordelia was truly the best cat sitter i can imagine. She took wonderful care of my cat and sent lots of pictures. She was very communicative and accommodating. Highly recommend!”
“This was the first time I have ever left my dogs anywhere while we traveled. (2 King Charles cavaliers). I cannot say enough about how wonderful Susan and Kenny took care of my boys. I received pictures and updates daily…my dogs looked happy and comfortable in all of them (especially the ones sound asleep with Kenny in his chair). Scout and Max have definitely found a home away from home. Thank you Susan and Kenny! ?❤️?”
“Lana did a great job looking after my dogs for the long weekend! She sent photos and kept me up to date with how they were doing. One of my dogs needs medication twice a dog which was administered. There is a lot of space on her property for playing and my dogs had lots of fun!”
“Greatly appreciated Pamela looking after my little one. She was very prompt with updates and looked after him as if he was her own. It really gave me peace of mind while I was on vacation. ”
“LeAndra was very communicative throughout the trip and took the time to share pictures and updates that put our mind at ease. She walked Hermione and made sure she felt loved even through the 4th of July fireworks. Would absolutely book again.”
“Fantastic short stay for our large dog. My dog is shy and can sometimes struggle with new environments. We were given the flexibility of a meet and greet, but even without, the numerous photos were reassuring of my dog’s comfortability in Tina and Rick’s home. I am very appreciative of the updates throughout the day and taking the time to go out on walks. Will definitely be a future customer!”
“Stacie and Doug are the best! They treated our Westie like the Queen that she is and sent us notes so we could remain connected. We met in advance of our booking to get to know each other and they were very kind when I had some last minute changes to our agenda. Our pup got along very well with their pup and we would recommend them for your pup as well!”
“Pat and Paul welcomed Rosie into their home as if she was their own. She had loads of good play time and good care overall. Communication was excellent. Definitely recommend!”
“Stephanie kept us updated on Karma regularly, and that put us at ease. She was quick to communicate when Karma had blood in his stools. Thank you Stephanie for taking care of Karma for 2 weeks!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond Heights
I highly recommend Daniel. He took excellent care of our dog for the week while my wife and I were out of town. He's very clearly passionate about taking care of animals and was quite dedicated to providing the best experience possible to our dog. We could enjoy our vacation and relax knowing that she was in great hands.
I’ve booked with Cheryl multiple times now, and cannot recommend her services enough! She is always great with communication and keeps me updated, which makes traveling so much easier. I genuinely feel at peace knowing my dogs are in her care while I’m away. She is reliable, caring, and clearly loves what she does. I’ll definitely continue booking with her!
Austin took great care of Jojo while we were out of town for a week. He gave us daily updates along with pictures which we really enjoyed. Jojo came home happy and tired out - he even ran up to Austin in the driveway to hug him goodbye (it’s a poodle thing😊). Austin is now our go-to sitter!
Colleen was a great sitter, and Peaches was great with my dogs! Great communication before and during the stay - she sent several photos and updates which was very appreciated! I also appreciated her flexibility on pickup time when I ended up being a bit later than anticipated.
Our dog was taken care of so great by Lisa! I felt at ease leaving our dog with her. Lisa is so friendly and so kind to animals. Dug was able to warm up to her quickly while it was his first time with her. We got pictures and updates that made us feel relieved he was doing ok while we were gone. I will book with her again. 😃
Our pup Charlie was in great hands with Alyssa and her crew for the last 10 days. From the start, Alyssa was responsive, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She shared frequent updates, photos, and videos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was obvious Charlie was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime, and he looked happy and well cared for throughout his stay. We came home to a relaxed, healthy pup, and we’re so grateful for the care he received. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Charlie with Alyssa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their dog.
Sandra's attention to detail and nightly updates made for a worry free vacation. The only suggestion I might have for next time is it might be better to pick up excited babies, after greeting them in the backyard first, might help make for a smoother pickup. Thank you!
Ivette was so incredible with my senior dog! She updated me about how he was doing including potty breaks, meals, and medications. He has special needs and she was very accommodating for all of my requests and went above and beyond with making him at home and comfortable. We appreciate that she was very helpful and flexible with some changes to our itinerary. Eich was very happy when we picked him up! I'm a very anxious pet parent and am always nervous leaving Eich but felt very comfortable that he was well taken care of. We highly recommend Ivette!

There are 807 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Richmond Heights. About 94% of Richmond Heights sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
