“We could not have ask for a more perfect experience with Susan. We wanted to go and enjoy Cleveland for the day and not have to worry about our dogs. She and her husband welcomed them into their home and we were able to have a worry free and fun day. When we picked them up they were tired and happy. What more could you ask for! We would highly recommend!!”

“Loved working with Brandon! I was a little nervous leaving my dog for the first time but Brandon let me tour the back yard, I felt like everything was secure and safe. Very responsive and I could tell my pup had a great day. She usually cries when I pick her up from grooming/vet/etc but she was super laid back today!”

“Samantha is awesome! We are preparing for a long vacation so we wanted our puppy to get to know Samantha a long stay. Onyx came home very tired from playing! Thanks Samantha!”

“Susan was great with Zeke. She even suggested a quick meet up the day before she has to meet my dog to make sure that my dog was OK with her dog. Excellent care. Thank you so much.”

“Sandra was a lifesaver. Accepted my emergency request at the last minute. Allowed me to pick up the dogs at an insane time of night (10:30pm). Her house is the perfect set up with a lovely fenced yard. She gets five gold stars!”

“From the first day my puppy met him , his tail wouldn’t stop wagging. He was very gentle but also allowed Tank to be independent. I really appreciate him also working on commands with my baby as well. I will be utilizing him whenever I can”

“My dog did well in Austin’s care. He enjoyed playing with their dogs and came home happy! He provided updates and was quick to respond. Austin came recommended by three different people. I will definitely use him again.”

About: I always loved animals. They come second hand in my life. I always take good care of my pets. I have a dog as well I currently delivery drive and I’m also in school. I work once a week and school once a week as well. That is the only time I have a second room and a porch to separate the pets. I have a gate at my dog as well. I have lots of supplies
“Al was amazing! We're so glad we've found someone that we can trust our dog with. Dom is a pretty cautious dog who right away asks for belly rubs from Al so if he trusts him, we do too. Al also sent us many videos and photos of Dom throughout the day which was so comforting to see him feel at home outside of home. We're very grateful to have found Al & Stacy with Dom's two new friends Bri and Sky. If you're nervous about leaving your fur family with someone, please try Al & Stacy out -they are people who actually know and love dogs.”

“We'd highly recommend Angie as a sitter! Our dog has pretty bad separation anxiety, and Angie made sure she felt comfortable while in her care. She's very attentive and provides lots of updates and pictures!”

“Zarina saved our last minute plans by being able to take our dog for us for the day! She updated us with pictures and made sure he got plenty of play time! He was TIRED out when he got home, which was great for us to have a tired puppy when we were tired out as well.”

About: Hi! I’m Maria, and caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I’ve dedicated years of my life to. I have over 10 years of hands on experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace, I understand that every pet deserves care that’s tailored specifically to them. My partner and I work together as a team, which means your pets receive twice the attention, care, and reliability. Having two experienced animal lovers allows us to be flexible with scheduling and provide consistent, dependable care for your pets, whether you’re away for the day or an extended vacation. I offer: • Dog Walking • Drop-In Visits • House Sitting • Overnight Boarding • Puppy Care • Senior Dog Care • Medication Administration (if needed) • Lots of playtime, cuddles, enrichment, and exercise! I’ve cared for everything from tiny toy breeds to giant breeds, including dogs with anxiety, high energy, special routines, and unique personalities. I also have experience with cats and other household pets, so if your family includes more than just dogs, they’re in great hands too. When your pet stays with us or we care for them in your home, they’re treated like family. We stick to their normal routine as closely as possible because we know consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether that means long walks, endless games of fetch, quiet cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, we adjust our care to what makes your pet happiest. As pet owners ourselves, we understand how difficult it can be to trust someone with a member of your family. That’s why communication is one of our top priorities. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for. Our goal isn’t just to watch your pet. We want to become someone both you and your furry family member can trust for years to come. We’d love the opportunity to meet you and provide the same love, patience, and attention we give our own pets every single day. We can’t wait to meet your best friend! 🐾 One of us works full time, however the other stays at home and focuses on animals and etc. We’re always able to be flexible and accommodate everyone’s needs We always make sure to meet prior to bookings and if needed or wanted to I do like to send pictures and videos of your fur babies while in my care. I know everyone misses their little babies.
About: I've owned and loved dogs all my life. I hate to leave my dogs at a kennel and think home dog sitting is a much better option. My goal is to make sure dogs don't feel abandoned when left temporarily, but rather give them the experience of a joyful vacation with "Grandpa Ron". I've almost never found a dog who didn't like me and have never found one I didn't like. I'm a widow, retired and living alone. I have plenty of time to devote to dogs who are left in my care. I schedule my own travel and outside activities so they are not at the same time when I am available for pet sitting. I limit the number of dogs I watch so that I can give full attention to each one. I have a large back yard, fully fenced, with plenty of squirrels for your furry friend to chase. I also give your dog full run of my house and he is allowed on my furniture and beds. I try to make myself available on holidays and popular travel times. If requested I offer pickup and delivery of your pet from your home.

“Daniel was fantastic!! Very kind and welcoming. He eased my worries of leaving my dog as soon as I met him. I can’t thank him enough for today. He really helped me out by watching my dog at the last minute. My dog loved him!! I don’t think he wanted to leave. Daniel sent me pictures of my dog having a great time at his house. Those pictures are priceless. My dog is smiling in them😊 I will definitely be using Daniel in the future. Thank you again Daniel. It was very nice meeting you!!”

About: I have a variety of pet experience. Most notably with dogs, I have fostered over 13 dogs in the last several years through Kane's Mission. I am sure to give your dog personalized attention and love and care they deserve! We live in a great walkable community in Shaker Heights. We are happy to take your dog on walks and visits to the park, so they can have a nice vacation too! I can currently adapt to most pet care schedules. I have a flexible schedule from home, and I am here to offer a seamless transition. I have fenced in yard with room to romp around, and I am located in a great walking community with a park nearby. I can also come to you reliably to let your dog out and given home play, social, and exercise time.
“100% would recommend S&J! I had an unique circumstance of coming from out of town for a family event and Sheila accepted my 8 month old pup, Reggie, for the day. She provided constant updates and made me feel comfortable leaving him for the day without them every meeting. Thank you so much!”

“Murphy was so excited to go to Leslie’s for the day! It had been awhile since he stayed away from home. I told him he was going there and he ran to the door to wait until we were ready to leave! I never need to worry because I know he is getting wonderful care!”

About: Do you need someone to do drop-ins or dog walks? I have you covered! My schedule is very flexible to help with your furry friends’ needs. I even do drop-ins for your kitties! 🐾 Worry less and feel at ease with daily communication and plenty of pictures throughout the day of your fur baby! Why am I qualified to watch your pup or kitty? For starters, I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up and have plenty of experience working with animals, including training and caring for special-needs animals. Your pets will get plenty of love while you’re away, so you can enjoy your time knowing they’re receiving excellent care. 🐾 Do you need boarding for your dog?🐾 Think of it as your pup’s own private doggy getaway!

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in South Russell on Rover is $27.25 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your South Russell commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog, 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, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 592 sitters in South Russell, 90% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
