“Monika is great! I felt our dog was truly cared for. She gave lots of feedback on her visits and communicated all questions and concerns. Looking forward to having Monika and family help us out again soon.”
“Erica was amazing! We set up a meet and greet and our cat is very selective of who he immediately goes up to and he wasted no time meeting her. We were able to enjoy our trip and not worry at all if our cat was cared for and well taken care of! Will be using her again! We really appreciated the amount of pictures she sent us.”
About: I’ve had animals all my life! Mostly dogs but I’ve added a cat to my family and my sister has some bunnies. I’m the girl at the party who immediately finds the animal in the house and bonds with it!! I can’t add another pet to my clan but I’d love to spend some time with your sweet pet!! I work from home all week and get off work at noon on Fridays. I cannot take animals to my house but I have no problem traveling. Before taking care of an animal, I like to go to the house and meet the animal with the owners present. Then I can see how they behave at the house and get a run down of the do’s and don’ts
“Julia was so awesome and flexible!! I had some concerns with booking a pet sitter at an apartment complex, but Julia made things go incredibly smooth! Will definitely be using her again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs from all sizes and breeds. I enjoy taking them for walks, playing fetch or giving them all the belly rubs they want! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have helped take care of my friends and families dogs while they are away. Depends on day and time, I can do 3 times a day if needed. I work full time but am available before work and after work Monday through Friday. I am also free Saturdays and Sundays whenever needed. I will always make time for your pets as you are trusting me to watch your loved ones while away. I would always make sure your pets are cared for by feeding them, giving them water and while out for a walk making sure their safety is my top priority. Playing with them with their favorite toys or giving them belly rubs before leaving to get as much energy out as possible!
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our little baby. Jeannie did a great job on our first time with her and followed all our instructions perfectly.”
“Emma did such a great job dropping in on my cat Reggie. She kept me informed everyday and sent lots of pictures and updates. So happy to have found her! Thanks Emma can’t wait to book you again!”

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
“Brenda took very good care of Callie. She was able to accommodate our schedule at the last minute and do drop ins to take care of our senior golden so we could visit family. Callie enjoys her company and Brenda is always respectful of our house. If you ever need someone to take care of your pet, Brenda is your person! Highly recommend! We will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: (*Please be a smoke-free home for overnights - unfortunately I get asthmatic and have very bad physical reactions to smoke*) I've cared for my sister's dog while she is on vacation, and have several years caring for animals. Part-time, I care for 2 Jack Russell's and a Shorkie - the owners would be happy to recommend my services. I own a cat Allie, and she is treated like a queen, as should be any animal I would be caring for. Animals deserve the greatest love, attention and affection, and I consider them such a high priority. I have a semi flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to devote to the care of your fur babies, in your home, and while you are away. In the Meet & Greet, I will listen very intently for your animal (s) needs, and take detailed instruction on leash requirements, procedures, special requests, etc. Thank you, Nicole (Nicki) I am self-employed and therefore, flexible. I do watch my 3 doggies from 10:30-2:30 Monday through Friday, but otherwise have roughly 10 hours of drafting plans for an Architect. Those hours are also, quite flexible. I can accommodate your needs for overnight stays, medicines, play. While I prefer a fenced yard, I can accommodate on a leash if we are not going too far.
“Leah took the best care of my two fur babies! She fed them and played with them during her drop in visits everyday! Love the photo updates! StinkerBelle and Josey were happy (and Josey doesn’t come out for anyone — she came out for Leah!). Thank you!!! ?”
About: Hi fellow pet lovers! My love for animals has led me to work in the veterinary field, and I also offer pet sitting as a fun and fulfilling side hobby. With my experience, I’ve learned how to spot signs of distress and can respond quickly if medical attention is needed. I’m also very comfortable giving medications and caring for pets with special needs. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and you can count on them being in safe, loving hands. If you’d like references, I’m happy to provide them. Thanks for considering me! I am located in the beautiful northeastern Ohio area, and can travel further away to the West Side of Cleveland. My day is planned arounf drop-in pet visits. Our home has big land for pets to run around. For kitties i have separate sun room with many play spots, litter box and other necessities.
About: I have a great deal of patience and love to give your pet. I have grown up with pets and come with over 15 years of experience caring for my own special needs dog which included administering medication twice a day and caring for her during and after seizures. I have taken the last several years off to focus my efforts on the stray cat community. Over the last several years I have rescued, rehabilitated and placed over 20 cats. I am always on time and I truly love animals of any kind. I have experience caring for small farm animals such as chickens and ducks. I can’t wait to meet your fury friend and help break up there day while you are away:) My schedule varies week to week but generally I am flexible and open any time Monday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I am available Tuesday-Thursday 4pm and on. I am flexible and like to know about the pets schedule and routine. I have a fenced in yard and access to lots of park areas.
“Emily is so caring and reliable. Completely took away all stress and worry for someone to take care of our fur nugget! She treats and cares for our boy like her own!! Highly recommend to everyone”
About: PLEASE READ: I have started my own dog walking and pet sitting business and would like to grow it there rather than on Rover. If you are interested in hiring me, please search on Facebook or Google "Rachael's Dog Walking and Pet Sitting" or message me for the links, my website, or email. You can still read much of my current information here. I worked as a professional pet sitter for one of the biggest pet sitting companies in the Cleveland area for 2.5 years and have done pet sitting on my own since then. I have experience caring for many different types of animals of all ages and sizes. I have taken care of them when the owners were on vacation; feeding, giving medicine, walking, etc. I also do dog walking visits during the day for people who are at work or sometimes still home. I have had my own dogs, cats, and other small animals my whole life. I currently have a very part time remote job as a social media coordinator, and have recently started my own dog walking and pet sitting business and also do occasional freelance graphic design and photo editing. I am mainly looking to work in mornings and afternoons on weekdays, but can occasionally do nights and weekends too. I am available for daily dog walking in cities near Olmsted Falls, and can do occasional pet sitting in farther cities. I have professional experience caring for animals and being in client's homes. Before I worked as a pet sitter, I even cleaned houses for 4 years, while people were away, so I can be trusted in people's homes. I always make sure to hold a dog's leash tight, and make sure no pets get out when I come and go through a door. I also always make sure the door is locked when I leave. I will meet you and your pets before services begin to go over everything so I know exactly what to do and make sure the pets get to know me first.

Gracie is amazing! We will definitely be booking her drop-in services again for our 3 dogs. She came over before our trip to meet our pups and get a run down of their routine. Then at each drop-in visit, we got an update and great photos! Gracie is reliable, trustworthy, and there's no doubt she loves dogs! Five stars! Highly recommend!

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.
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 Strongsville 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!
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

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.
