“Michaela was wonderful! She stayed overnight at my house while I was out of town and take care of my 65 pound Goldendoodle and 10 year old cat! She was very responsive and sent a picture at least once a day. I’ve booked her twice for an overnight stay already (3 nights and then 4 nights) and will definitely be using her again in the future! She also took the time to come over a few days before her first stay to meet my pets and I was able to show her around and give her instructions. Thank you so much, Michaela!”
“Hannah is a lovely person and a joy for my dogs. Angel is a senior husky with bladder cancer and deafness and is easily confused and has pretty consistent accidents in the house. Hannah was kind and gentle with Angel and too time to get Angel on track. Izzy is a senior Doberman who is anxious and has fear based aggression. She took the time to get to know Izzy and now Izzy loves her and trusts her. Hannah follows instructions for preferences with your pets but then loves them like her own. Hands down the best decision we’ve ever made for our pups.”
“Saundra was great and was always updating me. I have a shelter dog and sometimes it takes time for her to warm up to new people. Saundra continued to care for her despite not receiving a great welcome at first :) but my dog finally warmed up to her after a day. I am thankful!”
“Cierra was amazing. She took such good care of all the animals and kept me continually updated with how they were doing. She took excellent photos of them too! Would very highly recommend her.”
“LaDonna takes such good and sweet care of our dogs. We went on our honeymoon and had no worries while we were away!! LaDonna is so attentive and carrying. It was so nice to unplug knowing our babies were having a great time and were safe!! We got a bit stranded by the hurricane and LaDonna made sure our dogs were all set up and taken care of.”
“I’m really happy that I found Julie. She came to my house and stayed with my dogs, and obviously loves animals. She sent me lots of pictures and updates. The dogs did great with her. I would trust her to watch my animals anytime.”
“Madelyn was great with both of our dogs. We have 2 German shepherds 100lbs+ and we have a road behind our house with no fence. She had no problems with them. Left our house spotless, washed and folded all the bedding that she slept on as well. We have used rover multiple times and she has by far been the best house/dog sitter that we have used. We highly recommend using her. We will definitely be using her the future!”
“Charish watched my little guy again while I traveled for my job. My pup was calm and happy when I got home and house was spotless! She even took care of some house stuff when weather was coming in. Thank you Charish for being the most awesome pet/house sitter!!”
“Carolyn is a rock star. From our meet and greet we knew found a gem. She helped us out in a last minute situation as well. She kept us in the loop with regular updates and adorable pics and videos. We felt totally at ease knowing our pet was in great hands, allowing us to fully enjoy our trip. We will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her to everyone.”
“Sommer was amazing! Well, it was a last-minute decision to go out of town for the holidays and leave our puppy. We are so happy and lucky we found her. She did multiple overnight stays for us and worked around her schedule and was very diligent and making sure that our puppy was taken care of. I definitely look forward to having her as a part of our family as needed! Thank you, Sommer for all your help and I was not worried about my dog at all!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life. Friends and family have had me pet sit and/or house sit since I was 16. I have a huge heart for animals of all kinds. I’m reliable, consistent and ready to help you out with your furry children. I have a full time job but make sure I take care of the animals before work. I then check on them before going home from work and then will check on them again before bedtime. Special accommodations are always available. I make sure to follow directions to a T.

“Katelyn is so sweet! Our senior dog loved spending time with her over the holiday weekend while we were gone. It is such a load off knowing that someone is taking care of our beloved pets.”
“Rachel has done a phenomenal job at taking care of my dog. She was very communicative and went above and beyond. My dog is quite anxious especially around new people, I could tell how comfortable she made him. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“JaNiya is an angel! She came to save the day when I was all the way in California and a sitter bailed on me. She came in and loved on my puppy, helped put my house back in order and get him on track with his meds. She gave me very helpful updates to ease my worry and also gave some flvery helpful insights as a new dog mom. I will definitely be a repeat client.”

Jennifer is an absolute ROCKSTAR! She came before our booking for a meet and greet, and sent lots of updates and check ins throughout our trip. Our dogs absolutely love her, and we came back home to a clean and stress free home. Can’t thank her enough for being there for us! Highly recommend and will book again!
Christian was wonderful! We came home to a clean house and happy dogs. This was our first time leaving the dogs in our new home and Christian aced it. Watered our garden, cleaned up after himself, gave us updates, checked the mail and most of all gave us piece of mind while we were out of the country. Will definitely be using his services again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Cleveland on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 483 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Cleveland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred South Cleveland walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in South Cleveland maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in South Cleveland choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
