About: I grew up with dogs and have been around animals basically my whole life. One of our dogs was my best buddy for 10 years, and more recently I was my mom’s go-to person for our Border Collie while she worked. That meant long walks, feeding, grooming, and finding ways to keep a Border Collie entertained when she apparently has unlimited energy lol. I’m also a longtime cat owner and have plenty of hands-on cat experience. I’ve cared for my own cat through surgery and recovery, and I’ve helped raise a litter of 6 kittens from birth. I’m new to Rover, but definitely not new to caring for animals. I’m very attentive to their routines and little personality quirks, and I’ll always communicate with you so you know how your baby is doing ♡ I currently work full-time from 8 AM–4 PM, with a rotating schedule that includes every other weekend. On the weekends I work, I have a weekday off instead. I'm available for evening visits and walks after work, as well as more flexible scheduling on my days off. I also offer house sitting and can accommodate pets who are comfortable being alone during my work hours. My availability varies slightly from week to week, so I keep my calendar updated and am always happy to discuss your pet's routine to see if we're a good fit! :) I'm naturally a pretty calm, nurturing person paired with a very type-A virgo brain. :) I'm organized, communicative, and probably going to become besties with your pet. I'll follow their normal routine as closely as possible and keep you updated while you're away.
About: I’ve loved and helped watch/take care of dogs since I was little. My family grew up with dogs and I have helped friends/family/neighbors watch and care for their dogs for as long as I can remember. I do work full time, however I am home on weekends as well as early evening to help assist in any way that I can! I have a backyard which is about to be fully fenced in. I live in a very safe neighborhood which is perfect for walks! Also have room in my home for animals to roam/make themselves at home.
“I started with a meet and greet because my cat is a covid rescue, and very shy of new people. Mae-Ling immediately rubbed up against her and didn’t hide under the couch. Bethany was very sweet and patient so that my cat could feel safe around her. I’m looking forward to Bethany sitting for me during my upcoming travels!”
“Megan was the perfect person to check in on our two kittens while we were away for several days. She was on time, efficient, mindful of any notes/instructions and even sent us cute update photos at each check in! Megan’s prior experience fostering kittens gave us complete confidence that our cats were in the best care over the holiday. Thanks Megan!!”
About: I am a mom to two cats who I adopted as kittens in 2020. Bringing them home was one of the best decisions I made. I’ve utilized pet sitting services in the past and they’ve given me so much peace of mind, I want to be able to do that for others too. I can care for cats of any age as well as small and medium dogs. I’m a big runner so walking is a fun activity for me! I can be flexible with my schedule and I’m here to help! I work part time as a Pilates Instructor so I have free time thought the week and weekends to do drop in visits for your pets. My schedule can be flexible and open. I prefer mornings but I can always make evening visits as well! I will do drop in visits at your home. As part of those, I’ll make sure that fresh food and water is put out, scoop any litter boxes, and administer medicine if needed. I can also bring in mail and packages that arrive while you are away, water plants, and take out trash.
About: I was always asked to take care of my family friends dogs when they went on vacation or needed extra help. I love taking care of animals. I am free whenever as i’m home for summer, ready and excited to help whenever you need a hand i’m ready! I love all animals I have pet sat and have done housesitting jobs at the same time and have always shown up on time and got the work done and had took care of pets and gave them play time
“Jules went above and beyond in the care of our two cats. Jules was very responsive, timely, and flexible with her schedule despite the holiday weekend and did an excellent job. We will be using her for all of our future cat sitting needs.”
About: I have loved animals my entire life and grew up with so many pets. I became a registered veterinary technician in 2011, but now I stay home with my daughter. She goes to school during the day and I am looking to take care of pets again with a more flexible schedule. I stay home and care for my daughter and I have lots of free time when she is at school and when my husband is off from work. I am a registered veterinary technician and have worked in an animal hospital for more than 8 years. I have experience with all kinds of dogs and cats.
“Makenna was reliable and very communicative while I was away. I didn’t have to worry at all about the cats or house and that was great. She was also very flexible with changes that I appreciate.”
“Lexie was fantastic with daily check ins for my sweet cat while we were away for almost two weeks. She gave her a lot of loves, playtime, and special treats, sending me lots of pics each time so I got to stay updated on her happenings. I’ll definitely rebook in the future and highly recommend!”
About: I currently work as a pet sitter through a professional pet-sitting company, where I complete multiple visits each week caring for dogs and cats. My responsibilities include feeding, refreshing water, administering basic care, medication administration. cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have experience with pets of different temperaments and energy levels, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine and personality. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or spending extra time playing and giving attention, I focus on making each visit stress-free for both pets and their owners. I currently work full-time, so I’m primarily available for morning (AM) and evening (PM) visits on weekdays. I can also provide drop-in visits during my lunch break when needed. I have full availability on weekends, which allows for flexible scheduling, longer visits, and additional care as needed. I’m happy to work with clients to find a consistent routine that fits their pet’s needs. I prioritize safety, consistency, and building trust with every pet and home I care for. I follow each pet’s routine closely to help them feel secure and reduce stress while their owner is away. I always pay attention to details like feeding instructions, medication needs, and home care guidelines. I treat every home with respect and care, ensuring doors are secured, instructions are followed exactly, and pets are kept in a calm, safe environment. My goal is to build trust with both pets and owners by being reliable, communicative, and attentive during every visit.
About: I grew up working at a dog kennel and have always owned dogs. Some of my best friends are trained professionals and I've learned a lot from them. I can do walks, playtimes and certain medications. I can do over nights just not at my house for the time being. I only work Saturday and Sunday but am Still available early Sundays and later after 9 as well as late (after 12am) on Saturday. My days are pretty open during normal pet care hours and outside of them. Dogs love me, and I understand dog body language. My dog was over 100 lbs and I can handle him just fine. I love dog play times and don't mind running with them to get energy out. I just love dogs and making money. Message me with any questions or concerns.
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life! Four of my siblings have pups that I regularly love on, & I often watch my best friend‘s Doberman, Kodak - so I’m comfortable with big energetic dogs too! As a professional photographer, I’ve worked with many dogs during family sessions. That experience has helped me become patient, calm & confident around dogs of all sizes & personalities. Whether they’re tiny & shy or big & playful, I love them all! Your dog will be treated like family while they’re in my care 🤍 PHOTOGRAPHY ADD-ON: 10+ professional portraits of your pet during my visit :) $45 paid through cash or Venmo! As a self employed photographer, I have a very flexible schedule! I’m able to accommodate daytime visits, drop-ins, extended stays, & overnight house sitting. I can adjust my day around your pet’s routine to make sure they get the attention, care, & consistency they’re used to 🐾 My goal is to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible! Feeding schedules, walk routines, & making sure your pet feels safe & comfortable in their own environment. I’m respectful of your space & will send regular photo & text updates so you always feel connected & reassured while you’re away.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends for many years. I love to play with the kitties, go on walks with the pups and just generally hang out with your furry friends! I work about 30 hours a week in food service, usually between 8am-5pm. My job is close to my house so I don’t have much of a commute either. So I have ample time to check in/hang out/go on walks with any of your furry friends! I am clean, tidy and will leave it how I found it! I like my own environment to be neat as well. Cat toys on the floor are fine tho!
“Ty was incredible. I would highly suggest her services to anyone looking for a sitter. She flawlessly handled our pets needs as well as their quirks, and provided us with regular updates along the way. We came home to animals that were clearly loved and snuggled while we were gone and honestly that is priceless. We will be seeking her out for services in the future!”
About: Recently left my quality management role at Amazon and now pursuing a career in what feeds my spirit - animals. My pets have changed my life for the better, I believe everyone should have the ability to experience what I have! Since I was in kindergarten I have had a unique connection with animals, and starting this new chapter in my life is terrifying yet amazing. So if you decide to book with me or only will you be supporting local (so thank you), but you will feel completely at peace knowing your pet is not just another checkbox on my list…. But a new friend I am happy to have made. I exercise my pets everyday and ensure they are training consistently. I currently have a flexible schedule so we can work on your needs and scheduling. My home is puppy proof, along with a gate I use to separate the upstairs from downstairs so my cat can have some peace and quiet lol
About: I’ve taken care of cats for as long as I can remember. I’ve helped take care of two very special corgis as well as my roommates bunnies. I’m referred to as the buncle (bunny uncle) when they’re left in my care I usually work mornings but that could change depending on the week, leaving my afternoons free. I will work with you, I’m pretty flexible and work something out that fits your fur babies needs ❤️ My cats are indoor. I have an apartment, it’s a duplex, on the top floor. If your cats don’t like other cats? No problem, they won’t interact. I cater to your cats needs so that way they feel safe and happy.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rocky River
Mitchell is a fantastic sitter and was absolutely amazing with my cat while I was out of town for a few days. I received updates every day of the two of them playing and having fun together. Mitchell is very attentative and goes above and beyond to make sure all of your care instructions are followed. I'll always consider Mitchell for pet sitting with future trips.
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!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Rocky River is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $32 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.

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 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.
