“Thank you! This couldn't have gone better. We have been on such a long journey to get him to where he can be alone for extended periods of time and he finally did it! Thank you for all your help for all this time!”
“Sage is a great pet sitter! Our two cats took to her quickly during the meeting, and she provided great updates each visit. Sage was also very communicative while cat sitting during a bad thunderstorm, helping make sure the babies were okay if power went out. Our home and cat areas were clean and well-kept when we returned. Thank you, Sage!!”
“Norma has fed Marco and Lucy on two separate occasions. She has been very communicative and extremely helpful when the second time, we had a leak while out of town. She definitely went above and beyond, the second time, and the cats finally graced her with their presence. We will use Norma again in the future.”
“Dennise was fantastic. She was incredibly understanding, communicative, and willing to go above and beyond to ensure my dog was properly cared for. She made an extra trip when needed, kept me informed every step of the way, and showed genuine care and professionalism throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter.”
About: I am a calm, confident, and loving pet sitter who treats every animal like family. I have two wonderful cats of my own and actively volunteer at a local cat shelter, giving me a lot of hands-on experience reading animal body language, managing feeding routines, and caring for different personalities. While I am still gaining experience with dog walking, I am highly confident, attentive, and fully capable of safely handling small and medium dogs. My calm, gentle energy makes me a great fit for pets who might be a little shy or anxious with new people. I am dedicated to providing a reliable, stress-free drop-in visit for your beloved pets! I am free and available every single day between 8:00 AM and 2:30 PM. This stable daily schedule lets me easily handle your pet's midday drop-in visits. I treat your home with respect. I follow all care instructions exactly, keep pets safe, double-check locked doors, and give them my full, calm attention.

About: I grew up with having a dog around the house, so I have always loved being around pets. The last two summers I have pet sat for families while they were on vacation. Some of the dogs I have taken care of have had medical needs, so I am able to give dogs medication if needed. I have taken care of big and small dogs. I look forward to working and taking care of your pet! During the summer I have more availability outside of when I am on vacation. For house sitting services, I am happy to provide overnight care for your pet. There will be times I will leave the home to run errands, go to work, family time and etc. But I will make sure that your pet’s routine is kept in tact and that they get all the snuggles and love they need. I am a full time teacher so once the school year starts my availability will change. I will not be able to provide pet care in my home. But I can provide pet care in a clients home. I am able to provide walks, feed your pet, provide snuggles, and medication if needed. I will ensure the client home stays clean if I am booked for overnight pet care. If it is too hot outside I may limit the time for the walk. I will also bring a water bottle with a bowl to make sure your dog does not overheat.

“Mylene has been a blessing! I work odd hours so leaving my fur baby can be difficult. She’s been so helpful and attentive, willing to come take care of her even with my sporadic schedule. She communicates effectively and has a really positive vibe, I trust her going into my home. My 1yo fur baby loves her too, she told me herself. :)”

About: I'm Kaili and I’m looking for some wagging tails to fill my schedule! I'm a huge dog lover and always have been - I'm able to give specialty care to all dogs of varying breeds and personalities.

“This was the second time Ellie cared for our cat while we went away, and we would once again highly recommend her!

Ellie is very communicative, responding quickly to messages and sending regular updates and photos. We really appreciated this!! We definitely will reach out to Ellie for future visits.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rocky River
Isaiah was a great find! We’re grateful he was flexible with his visit times as it was hot and we wanted to make sure the dogs were comfortable. They loved him and he made sure they were always comfortable with AC and water. I will say be sure to leave clear directions and an instruction sheet to better help him as he is just starting out but don’t let that deter you. He was very communicative and adaptable and our boys loved his visits. Does everything the app asks and also isn’t afraid to reach out for any questions. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rocky River is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,291 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rocky River. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rocky River. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
