“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!❤️”
“I would HIGHLY recommend Norma to care for your fur baby. You'll immediately feel at ease with her. She was so easy to work with on arrangements and superb with communication.”
“Maria has been our usual dog sitter for a few months now and Lincoln always has a great time there. She sends videos and pictures during every stay and he always looks like he's either cuddling with her or playing with the other dogs. You definitely feel safe knowing that your dog is under her care”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Makena is AMAZING! She took all three of my pups and it was their first time doing doggy daycare but I felt reassured with her check-ins and shared photos. The dogs came home tired and happy. I will definitely be rebooking with her again in the future!!”
About: Hi! I'd love to care for your dog, cat, or other pet on weekends (visits, sitting, walks, or boarding in my own home). Sitting or boarding on weekdays would work for me as well. (I can take your dog on my runs with me if you would like!) I have had pets stay at my home overnight, and also have stayed overnight at their home, whichever you prefer is fine by me! I have been caring for other families' dogs for about 15 years now, and if you would like, I can provide you with some references. I also grew up with cats and dogs in our home. I work remotely, so I will be home for most of the day, and will be available to play with your pet, take them for walks, potty breaks/etc. throughout the day. I have one medium sized dog crate I can provide if you would prefer to leave yours at home! I also have food and water bowls. We do have our own dog (the dog in my profile photo), who is very friendly and gets along with other dogs, cats, and people. She is extremely sweet and spends most of the day napping. We have the means and space to keep your pet separated from our dog if that is needed or desired.
About: I’ve had animals my entire life! I would love to take care of your baby’s for you and treat them like my own! I have taken care of dogs & cats at every age and other animals. I don’t have a full-time job right now, so I have time to take care of animals when people need my help when they can’t. I’ve treated every animal as if they were my child. I would do the same whether yours is at my house or I stop in and check on them at yours. I always say I would hate someone forever if they ever let my cat out the door..so you can trust me with your animal!
“If you’re a pet parent looking for someone you can truly trust, Allison is amazing! She was wonderful with my baby from the very start with curbside cuddles. I loved that she set clear expectations and kept in touch so I always knew what was happening. She gave my baby love and attention, and her updates really put my mind at ease with him being so young. She’s personable, super responsive, and you can tell she genuinely cares about all the fur babies. I’ve already rebooked 😊”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including my 3-year-old Goldendoodle and 8-year-old Golden Retriever. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving both energetic and senior dogs the attention they need. I’m flexible and able to work around most schedules, including weekdays, weekends, and overnight stays with advance notice, and I’ll always communicate clearly to confirm timing before each booking. When your pet is with me, you can expect consistent care, attention, and safety, including walks, playtime, feeding, and water checks exactly as instructed, along with a calm and patient approach for all dog personalities and energy levels. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing, and I treat every dog like family. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority at all times. I provide a calm, secure, and supervised environment where dogs are never left unattended during care, and I always follow owner instructions carefully for feeding, walks, and routines. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable, whether they’re energetic or more laid-back. I also keep a clean environment and make sure pets are always in a safe space during visits or stays.
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
“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!”
“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.”

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.
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.
