“Beth was wonderful! I knew from the moment I met her, our dog was very comfortable and relaxed. I was nervous about leaving Chloe but everything was great. She sent pictures of her around the yard and gave me updates when she was at our home. I will use her again and again and would highly recommend Beth!!”

About: I have been a pet owner and a pet sitter for over a decade. I grew up with pugs and now have a very happy, sweet, old boxer/pittie mix named Lou. From 2016-2017, I worked at a dog daycare in New York City, walking pets to and from home and daycare, and managing rooms of dogs of all sizes while they played, ate meals, and were boarded. I am comfortable walking and caring for dogs of all sizes. I love going on long walks as well. I have reliable transportation and am lucky to have a very flexible schedule. I am currently between full-time work as I recently moved back to Cleveland after 7 years in Miami, Florida, so I am very available for your pet care and pet walking needs. I am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and other pets including hamsters, cats, and birds. I am also comfortable administering medicine as needed, am comfortable crating dogs, and can works with whatever needs your pet may have.
About: I have years of experience with pet care including working at Doggy Daycare, Pet Supplies Plus, as well as owning my own furry friends before! I am comfortable and familiar with all types of dogs, big and small, high or low energy, and love catering a personal plan to whatever your pets needs are. I am currently at home 24/7 and can be attentive to any animals at all times! I am more than happy to walk and play with any dogs that need more attention & are high energy. This fits into my daily/weekly routine because I am currently not working and would love some furry friends to keep me company and hang out with! I live an active lifestyle so walking is not a problem for me and I love being outdoors! I care for pets in my home or clients’ homes by being efficient and personal in my care. I love catering to specific pets’ needs and will treat them like they are one of my own. I love walking & have a huge yard for dogs to play and run around in!
“We had such a wonderful experience with Jaina! She truly went above and beyond taking care of Noah and Mary while we were away. We received daily pictures and updates, which gave us a peace of mind. Communication was also quick and reassuring. We are extremely grateful! Highly recommend!”
About: Will care for furbabies with feeding, walks, playtime, and treats. I have had my dog (lola) and cat (spice) for a couple years now and love them dearly, I am hoping to create space to care for your babies as well. I’m currently studying for my licensed social work exam and have time around my study schedule to care for your pets! I currently have open availability. Pet care will differ depending on what is requested by pet parent. I will care for your pets with walks, feedings, baths, nail clippings, cleaning litter boxes/picking up after dogs, etc. Open to short term boarding but prefer client home care/support.
“You will never book another sitter again after meeting Bryan! He loves and understands cats so truly and provides the best, most thoughtful updates. My cat is my baby and my best friend and I have never felt more secure with her in someone’s care!! He took care of absolutely everything and ensured he knew all about her quirks and personality and play habits and veterinary information just in case. She seems so happy and well taken care of! I assure you, your cat will love Bryan.”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience and genuine care for animals. I had my own pets until I was 17, and I’ve also cared for my family’s pets during week-long trips, which gave me experience with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they stayed comfortable and happy. I’m currently home from college and working remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m available at any time during the day as long as I’m given advance notice. For dog walks and drop-ins, I make sure each pet is safe, comfortable, and getting the attention they need. During walks, I focus on keeping dogs active, following any routines the owner prefers, and making sure they stay hydrated and safe. For drop-ins, I can feed pets, refill water, give them playtime, let dogs out for bathroom breaks, clean up after them if needed.
“Takia has been absolutely amazing! She checked in on my dog for 5 days and always sent multiple photos daily with paragraph updates. My dog needed oral meds daily and she was able to give with no issue at all! She even added cuddles with my pup as a cherry on top! Thank you Takia for the kind loving care towards my best friend. We will definitely be returning customers 🐶❤️”
About: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds since I was 10 years old. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I also have hands-on experience giving medications and vaccinations from my time working as a veterinary assistant. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets both inside and outside the home and have experience with boarding, dog walking, medication administration, and in-home visits for feeding and watering. Every animal I care for quickly becomes part of my extended family, and I truly enjoy every moment spent making them feel safe, loved, and spoiled. I currently work from home, giving me plenty of time to provide attention and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is flexible and is very convenient for those who may need a little extra attention. My fenced yard offers space to play, and my two friendly dogs are always ready to welcome a new friend. If needed, I can also easily crate your dog for comfort or routine.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Russell Center
Joel was a great sitter. Did a wonderful job with our cats. Sent pictures every day of one of the cats, which we love seeing. On top of keeping in contact with us before we left to get instructions and updates on our upcoming vacation, and while we were on vacation. We highly recommend Joel as a sitter. Salli and Andy
We hired Gianna for a couple drop in visits with our 3 dogs. They have very different personalities, and some potential reactivity, but she had no issues whatsoever caring for the 3 boys! She was excellent at following our instructions, and we would highly recommend her in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Russell Center is $23 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $29 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 2,396 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Russell Center. 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 Russell Center. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
