“My dog loves going to stay with Ms Stacey! Drop offs and pick ups are easy, and he gets so excited - he always has a great time. Stacey is super responsive and always lets me know if there is something going on with my dog's behavior. We've also used Stacey for boarding and will definitely be doing so again.”
“My four month old puppy had a great time with Lynann! We got lots of pictures and videos, and she was wiped from playing all day when we got her home. Will definitely book again.”
“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.”
“Stevie and Moose loved staying at Catherine’s house for day care. This was their first time but definitely not the last. Catherine is very communicative and we appreciated that. Thank you to Catherine and her daughter for such a great care of ours dogs ❤️.”
“Dennise was fantastic. When we unexpectedly needed a daytime sitter while traveling, Dennise responded promptly to the request and took our fur baby in. She took pictures and accommodated our varied schedule needs. When we are back in the area, we will definitely have Maxwell spend time with Dennise.”
“Kathy is so sweet & very attentive with my dog. She's also great at communication, which I've found to be a rare occurrence on Rover. She cares for other dogs while keeping mine, but I would never know if she hadn't told me! She sends pics throughout the day & promptly updates time cards. She's so compassionate & truly cares for my fur baby's wellbeing. I highly recommend Kathy!”
“I feel so lucky to have found Erika. She's so good with my nervous dog and incredibly accommodating with me. Today we did a "warm up" run since my pup hasn't been with anyone else in a while and when I arrived, my dog was in a great mood and had plenty of energy. That's always the sign that she had a good day. It was just a short stay, but Erika took her for a nice walk, got her out to pee several times, and took plenty of pics. She's truly a rockstar pet sitter.”
“Allison was amazing, from her warm infectious smile to her caring nature toward my boys! I don't remember picking them up from previous sitters or daycares and they were as calm as today. There is no doubt that she has a way with my boys. Thank you for taking care of them as if they were your own!”

“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.”
“Karen took such wonderful care of our dog! He had a great time playing with her. She sent multiple photos of him smiling and playing throughout the day. I know he’d love to go back to her!”
About: I have lifelong experience with dogs, caring for both my own and others’ pets since childhood. My experience includes providing attentive care to elderly dogs, particularly during my time with my aging corgi. While I love dogs of all ages, I understand the unique needs of senior dogs and am committed to ensuring their comfort and well-being. Unfortunately, we cannot accept pit bulls or Staffordshire terriers. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to tailor my schedule to your dog’s needs and level of activity. I can provide exceptional care for your pet because I will be home all day during the work week. I am especially good at following your instructions. I have been been taking a walk every day for years and would love to take your dog with me.
About: I’ve always been surrounded by animals like dogs, cats, and even a few bunnies, so caring for them has felt natural for as long as I can remember. Seven months ago, I adopted a puppy of my own, and she’s taught me so much about patience, routines, and unconditional love. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your fur baby, and I treat every pet like part of the family. I’m especially good with puppies who are still learning, calm or sensitive pets, and following your pet’s routine exactly as needed. I bring a lot of love, calm energy, and attention to detail to every visit or walk. I’m very flexible! I work from home, so my schedule is wide open. I can take the doggies for walks, potty breaks, or just hang out with them! 😊 At my place, I make sure pets feel safe, comfy, and loved, just like they would at home. I keep things clean and chill, with lots of playtime, cuddles, and outdoor breaks. I also stick to their routine and take care of any special needs they have. When I’m at your place, I’m respectful of your space and follow your instructions closely. I know how important it is to keep things familiar for your pet, so I follow their usual schedule. That includes meals, walks, playtime, and any meds if needed. My goal is always to help them feel happy, relaxed, and cared for, wherever they are.
About: I had dogs growing up and got our own rescue dog 6 years ago. I prefer older dogs who like a quiet home. I understand dogs that every dog has their own quirks and embrace that. I work from home so am always around minus trips to the gym or errands. Morning breakfast, several potty breaks. Dinner at anytime that suits the pup. I have a 10 year old grumpy rat terrier/chi mix. He seems scary at first but once we can sniff another dog he calms down and coexists with other calm dogs just fine.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rocky River
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!
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!
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,651 sitters in Rocky River, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
