“This is our second time using JaXx, and it’s been great! Love the updates and the attention that she gives out little Yadi. We plan on making her part of the family! Highly recommend.”
“Tigger was happy, healthy and exhausted when he came home. I felt very comfortable leaving him with Kelly. She is clearly experienced and cares greatly for the dogs. We will be back!”
“Jeanette is such a joy to have your pet around! She is organized and detail. She provides updates and love to my Melo. Melo deals with separation anxiety but he enjoyed his time with her. He came home worn out and had a great time. I would recommend her to anyone with a little one.”
About: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds my entire life and truly treat every animal like my own. From playful pups to cuddly cats, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress free environment while you’re away. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, reliability, and the genuine bond I build with each pet, because they deserve more than just care, they deserve love. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my day around visits, feedings, walks, and check ins, making sure each pet gets reliable, consistent care and attention. I’m flexible and organized, so I can adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs while keeping everything running smoothly. “I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress free. In a client’s or even in my own home, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean spaces, and plenty of attention, playtime, or walks depending on their needs. I’m very respectful of each home and focus on giving pets consistent, loving care so they feel safe while their owners are away.
About: I have trained and groomed my dog since he was a puppy, and we all know how dramatic Shibas can be. I approach all animals with love and patience in order to gain their trust, no matter the situation. I am incredibly affectionate so your pet will never feel out of place during their stay with me! I’m currently home at all times with my pet and would love to invite yours into our warm and loving home. I am able to provide meticulous and attentive round the clock care to your pet if they require. I reside in a dog friendly apartment complex with multiple parks for them to release extra energy. My baby, Kylo, will gladly keep them company or leave them alone, depending on their needs. Much like myself, he is very attentive. I also have a porch and a hammock that Kylo and I enjoy during warmer weather. If needed, I can easily crate your pet
About: I have owned a dog most of my life, we currently have one dog in the house now. His name is Oreo and he is about 5 years old. Very friendly, does well with other dogs and children! I have also pet sat for many friends over the years. We love dogs of all kinds! I work from home so I am available most days and home full time with them for boarding, and very flexible between meetings for walking schedules! I have a fenced in back yard for outside play, along with my dog! And with being full time work from home I am available to keep them company all day!
“Megan treated my little dog like a member of her family. She sent me numerous pictures and I could see he was comfortable and calm. I have already booked a longer stay with her.”
About: I've been around animals my entire life, and caring for dogs has always been something I genuinely enjoy. When I was younger, I had the opportunity to work alongside a family friend who owned a dog walking business in the Chicago area. That experience taught me the importance of building trust with every dog, understanding their individual personalities, and making sure they felt safe and comfortable while away from their owners. Today, I'm the proud owner of two Golden Retrievers, River and Willow, who have given me hands-on experience with every stage of dog ownership. From puppy training and daily exercise to grooming, administering basic care, and maintaining consistent routines, I've learned how important patience, structure, and positive reinforcement are. I've also cared for litters of puppies, giving me experience with newborn and young dogs as well. Whether your dog loves long walks, energetic playtime, or simply wants someone calm and dependable to keep them company, I'll treat them with the same level of care, attention, and affection that I give my own dogs. When your dog stays with me, they'll be treated like one of my own. They'll have plenty of supervised playtime, lots of attention, and access to my large, fully fenced backyard to safely run, explore, and burn off energy. My goal is to create a fun, stress-free environment where every dog feels comfortable, loved, and excited to come back. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to every pet I care for. Since I already have two active Golden Retrievers, daily walks, exercise, playtime, and maintaining routines are already a big part of my life. I understand how important consistency is for dogs, so I work to keep them on their normal schedule as much as possible, whether that's feeding times, walks, potty breaks, or simply giving them attention and companionship. I pride myself on being dependable, responsive, and making sure every pet receives individualized care. Safety and trust are my top priorities with every pet I care for. I take the time to learn each dog's personality, routine, and any special needs so they feel comfortable and secure from the moment we meet. Whether I'm caring for your dog in your home or mine, I follow your instructions closely and make it a priority to keep their routine as consistent as possible. One of the biggest advantages I offer is a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs have plenty of room to safely run, play, explore, and burn off energy. My own Golden Retrievers, River and Willow, absolutely love spending time outside, and I know how important it is for active dogs to have a safe space to exercise. Of course, all outdoor time is supervised, and I always make sure every dog is comfortable and introduced appropriately. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both your home and your pet with the same level of respect and care that I would expect for my own. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving plenty of love and attention while you're away.
“I booked Nickeyias for doggy daycare and she took amazing care of my Bintley. He felt completely comfortable with her and her family from the start, and she treated him like he was part of her family. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly enjoyed his day. I already scheduled his next visit — highly recommend!”
“She was very communicative. Sent lots of pictures and videos. When an issue arose, she handled it perfectly and communicated what happened and we established a plan for if it should come up again.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was little. Anytime my family or friends need help with their dogs, they come to me. I play sports and go to school. But when I'm not doing that I have plenty of time to take care of your little/big angel. I have a dog of my own that that yours can play with. Space inside and in the backyard where they can run and play.
About: -I do not accept unfixed males and no-crate trained dogs for safety reasons- Hi! I have had experience with different pets over the years. I have owned ferrets for over 8yrs, have pet sat for cats of different ages (from newborns to senior), as well as dogs (usually have sat for larger dogs), even birds!!. I have plenty of room inside and outside, i have a fenced yard and I’m home all the time so your babies will not lack the love and attention! :) I am assisted by my fiance Anthony, if that’s an issue please let me know! Please please make sure your pup’s items are clean and so are they! If they have a flea problem or they have poor hygiene, I will have to deny. This is for sanitation and safety of other pups staying with me. Schedule is updated daily please shoot me a text if you need more details or require help. Schedule changes week to week so please send request and will talk to you about availability (specifically for drop-ins) not applicable to boarding/doggy care Fully fenced yard, big full front yard, lots of space inside as well in case bad weather doesn’t let them run around outside.

“Stacey is wonderful with dogs and has a very calming presence. Our rescue, Lola, never did well at day cares we tried and she LOVES to go to Stacey’s and see all of her friends!❤️”
“Thank you Leslie for taking great care of Olive while he was little anxious in the beginning. He had a lot of fun which was evident by how exhausted he was when we picked him up. More day camps days to come !”
About: Before bringing a dog into your family it is important to know how to take care of them. You need to provide love and affection and kindness. They are treated like family members. I enjoy playing with them in the backyard or in the house. Love to take them for walks if that is what is preferred. Keeps us both healthy. I love cuddling with them on the couch and petting them. They are such great company and love the loyalty they provide. I love all kinds of dogs they are smart and curious little guys. They must be taken to a vet to keep up with their shots and health. I don't like to feed them from the table and I always read articles on what is or what isn't good for them. I am home and I can be with your pet 24/7. I enjoy sitting and cuddling with the fur babies and sometimes my grandson who is 18 comes to visit he loves animals and just plays with them and will cuddle with them. I usually give the pet free range of the home and they usually love the freedom. I also allow them to watch tv dog shows. Lol
About: My family has had birds, cats, dogs, fish, and rodents throughout my whole life. I used to foster kittens and puppies as well as walk and care for animals at my local animal shelter. While I have pets of my own, my job situation has changed and I’d like to spend my spare time helping other busy people make sure their pets get the love and care they need! My current job is flexible and includes working from home, so I can adapt my schedule to meet your and your pets’ needs (within reason of course). I’ve got a local dog park where I take my dog regularly, and love to go for long walks or just play with a dog in the yard and let them out to go potty if needed. I’m sensitive to pets needing extra care or medication as well. I also am happy to just come over and play with your dog/cat if they just need love and attention. I’m slightly more of a cat person, but I love both very much!
“Sequoia always lives staying with Norma and her pups. Having the fenced in back yard where she can relax and play is so nice on these beautiful fall days. Hopefully, soon she will be spending a few nights with Norma and be totally pampered.”
About: I've been an avid pet lover my whole life! I have taken care of cats and dogs for many years. I have taken care of senior animals with special medications in the past as well, as well as some training, and have even helped dogs in giving birth. I am currently a stay-at-home dog mom! I can meet any potty or feeding schedules. I can provide lots of love and care and give your baby as much love as they need. I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space for pups to play. I have two Australian Shepherds who love other dogs and are very friendly. I also have a cat who loves to play with dogs. Couch cuddles and playing ball are some of our favorites.

Samantha was amazing! We booked with her last minute, and she was incredibly accommodating and responsive. She took great care of Enzo. We really appreciated her kindness and flexibility on such short notice. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Samantha again. Thank you so much!

He felt completely comfortable with her and her family from the start, and she treated him like he was part of her family. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly enjoyed his day.

Parvathi was amazing! I needed a dog sitter on short notice, and she responded right away and happily accepted. She was friendly, communicative, and made sure to confirm my dog’s feeding, potty, and play routines. She also asked thoughtful questions to make sure my fur baby would be comfortable and well cared for. Her family was warm and welcoming, too, which made drop-off so easy. When I picked up my dog, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. I highly recommend Parvathi to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Rocky River commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 .
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 dog, 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.

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.
