About: I noticed I’m always offering to take care of everyone’s pets in my personal life (HUGE animal lover) so I figured it’s time to join Rover. I’ve taken care of other pet owners cats, dogs, and rabbits in the past. I’ve had cats, dogs, and rabbits as pets as well as hamsters, goats, ducks, and fish growing up. I grew up in a small town in Ohio and my grandparents had a farm so I was around farm animals often. I don’t currently have any pets of my own as I work 10 hour shifts 4 days a week (nurse) so I would absolutely LOVE to watch and walk your pets whenever I’m not at work! Since I work long hours and am not in a good position to get a pet of my own at this time, I would love nothing more than to share the love with your pet(s). I do have a full time job but I’m available on weekends and evenings after approximately 6:30pm (perfect time for walks!). I also have one off day during the week that rotates. I do not have any pets of my own so your pet would have my full attention (also a plus if your pet does not get along well with other pets).
“Kristi was wonderful! Her communication was excellent (and great photos, too!), and I could relax and know my cat was in good hands. My cat can be shy, but he took to Kristi immediately. I hope to work with her again.”
“Caitlin provided excellent help checking in on our dog Maple for a week while we were busy. She provided daily pictures and updates so that we were sure that Maple was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Caitlin as a dog-sitter for anyone that needs one. Thank you Caitlin!!!”
About: Hello! My name is Kaitlyn and I am a 4th year veterinary student about to start my job as a veterinarian. I began working with pets 12 years ago at a local rescue where I grew up in Florida. Since then I have had a plethora of experience with all types of animals. I have worked in a shelter, many small animal general practice hospitals, cat cafes, a wildlife rehabilitation center, triage student for the veterinary emergency department at my veterinary school, etc. Throughout the last 12 years in addition to my many volunteer and working experiences, I have also looked after family’s and friends pets when needed. Due to having pets of my own, I provide drop in visits and walks right now. However I am open to discussing any additional visit types on a case by case basis. I currently have a ton of availability while I await starting my full time job and am able to spend a lot of time with your pets 😊 Don’t worry! Once I start my full time job (in July) I would still love to continue providing care to your pets during weekends and after work. Your pets safety and happiness are the utmost importance and I am to create a great relationship with not only your pets but you to create a stress free and enjoyable environment for everyone. Feel free to reach out anytime with questions or comments about your furry friends. I am very quick to respond and would love to chat about how I can help with you and your pets needs!
“Mariah was incredibly respectful, caring, and kind when it came to caring for our two cats. We received a plethora of photos each day. She played with them, checked their litter box, and cuddled each and every visit. Our cats were thrilled. She was flexible and attentive to their needs. I highly recommend her to anyone that would ask!”

“Mitchell was great with my cat! He sent pictures and videos every day during his check-ins. He was quick to respond to messages and easy to work with.”
“Leslie took very good care of my two kitties for a week, dropping in twice daily to feed and interact a bit with them while I was gone. She sent pics daily too, as well as brining in the mail and even going the extra mile to do a bit of watering on the back patio per my request. I would highly recommend Leslie!”
“Joyce took wonderful care of Smooshie. When I got home later in the day, he was a happy sleepy pug. Joyce was great at communicating during her visit too, which is so important with an older dog. So happy that we met her through Rover!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats over the course of the last 15 years. I've been relied on to walk, bathe and feed pets of friends and family members. My work is remote and my schedule is flexible. I'm able to take time away to care for pets throughout the day. I can be relied on at any time throughout the week. I have a 12 year old rescue cat who is fed 3 times a day and I frequently dog sit for a friend in which I walk, play and feed throughout the day.
“Thank you Megan. You did a wonderful job taking care of all our cats. I was a little sceptical about having someone new to watch them, but megan made it so much nicer and made us feel relaxed and not worried at all about the cats when we went on vacation for a week. She sent us pictures of them and I would highly recommend her to anyone that asks me. Thank you again Megan on the amazing job with our animals.”
“Erin was great. Timely, great photo updates, and no news to report. Will definitely be reaching out to her again! That was the first time using Rover, and first time leaving my dog for a full weekend without a family member, and all went well!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life. I currently have a small Havapoo, but have had big dogs, cats, bunnies, and guinea pigs. I have experience with training, as well as administering medicine if need be. When I first moved away from my family, I was so nervous to try to find care for my pup while I was away! I am so thankful I have had amazing experiences with Rover, and I’m excited for the opportunity to give others an amazing experience, especially those who may be a little weary and nervous like I was at first! I work from home Monday - Friday, and have flexibility on the weekends so your pup will be in great hands with round the clock care! I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly Havapoo that is dying to keep your fur baby company! If staying in my home, I will absolutely follow any special instructions or needs for your dog to make them feel right at home and keep them in their routine. For clients home, I will always make sure I leave the home the way I found it, and of course keep your fur baby in their routine!
“Amber is our go-to person on Rover to care for and visit with our four-legged family members. She is a great communicator and dependable when we aren't around. We've hired her multiple times and will continue to do so. 😸”
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and small animals. I’ve had pets my entire life and currently have two cats of my own. Friends, family, and neighbors regularly trust me for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including puppies and kittens, senior pets, and animals with medical needs. I have experience administering oral medications and monitoring chronic conditions. As an incoming medical student, I’m highly detail-oriented, responsible, and attentive to changes in behavior or health. I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter working with feral cats to help socialize them for adoption. This experience strengthened my patience, confidence, and ability to read animal body language — especially with shy, anxious, or high-energy pets. In addition to cats and dogs, I’m comfortable caring for bunnies, turtles, and other small animals. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. You can expect consistent communication, photo updates, and dependable care every time. I work full-time from 8 AM to 4 PM on weekdays and am an incoming medical student. I’m available for morning visits before work, evening visits after work, and flexible weekend scheduling. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I prioritize reliability to ensure your pets are well cared for. Whether I’m caring for cats or dogs, I prioritize safety and routine. I follow feeding instructions carefully, refresh water, ensure doors and gates are secure, and provide enrichment tailored to your pet’s needs. I treat every home with respect and always communicate clearly with updates and photos. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities.

Elizabeth was amazing!!! This was a last minute request and she couldn't have been more accomodating and easy to work with. You can tell how much she cares as her updates were always thorough. So happy to have found her, she'll be our go-to sitter moving forward!
Arissa did a fantastic job caring for our senior cat, who requires medical injections. She is a great communicator, detail-oriented and pleasant to work with. She is a self-starter and I was able to relax while we were gone because she did such a good job. Highly recommend!
Taylor visited my cats twice a day for the last week. I wasn't sure she would even see them as they tend to hide from unfamiliar people. On her first visit, she sent pictures of both cats relaxing next to her. It was an amazing feeling and my vacation so much more fun because I knew my babies were in good hands, Thank you Taylor, My cats hope to see you again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Rocky River on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,086 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Rocky River. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rocky River. On Rover:

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.
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.
