About: From young pups to aging/declining dogs, I have cared for their specific needs. I have also taken care of friendly cats as well as scaredy cats. My personality seems to make animals feel safe and loved. I work part time for The Cleveland Metroparks. I believe health & fitness is good for us and for our fur babies! I can help. I am flexible and can follow the routine you provide for your pet. I enjoy being friendly to all animals and truly care for them.
“Monika and her family were amazing! Super friendly and communicated well! I felt comfortable leaving for a few days while she provided multiple drop ins for my two cats. One of my cats is on daily medication multiple times a day which was not a problem for her. I felt like my cats were glad they had visitors!”
“Josie was great all around. She took the time and effort to come a couple days before for a meet and greet. This allowed us to get acquainted and for her to meet our dog and home. The visits went well and our dog seemed to really enjoy his time with her. She was on time, took multiple photos, and made the most of the time she had with our dog. Fully recommend Josie, as we will look to her for all future needs!”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I work full time, so evenings during the week work best and my availability is flexible on the weekends. I am more than happy to discuss more! My services will be suited for the clients’ need. I will discuss with you on how to care for pets before the booked appointment. You will know exactly where your pet is at all times.
“Jordan did a great job taking care of our two fussy cats during a very crazy week of winter storms. If you want somebody who really understands how to take of cats, he’s your guy!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs for my whole life! In my family I was the designated dog walker/caretaker. I would love to be of assistance for families looking for someone to take care of their pup! I am a current college student, however I have plenty of free time/days to take care of your pets! I have played college soccer for the past four years, so I know how to be reliable and responsible. Currently my schedule is very open for dog sitting/walking and I’d love to help out! I live in a dog friendly apartment complex, so if necessary I could accommodate for pet care in my home. As for in a client’s home, I can follow any set of directions you left to take care of your fur baby!
“Nicole was very responsive and able to come meet me and our dog on a very short notice. She was great with our dog right away and we felt comfortable having her come over to spend time with our dog. She was amazing and very communicative throughout the weekend. I would highly recommend her and we look forward to having her watch our dog again!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting and caring for pets since I was young for neighbors, friends, and family members. I still regularly help care for family pets and truly love being around animals. I’m known for being patient, dependable, kind, and always on time. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾 My current work schedule allows for week day morning to evening walks and drop in visits with your favorite furry family member! I have weekend availability in early mornings from 6am-10am. Your pets deserve someone who is trustworthy, patient, and genuinely cares for animals — and that’s exactly the care I provide. I understand that pets are family, so I prioritize their safety, comfort, routines, and happiness during every walk or visit. With years of experience caring for my own dogs and pets of neighbors, friends, and family, I’m dependable, attentive, environmentally conscious, always on time, and committed to treating every pet with love, kindness, and respect. 🐾
About: I was in 4H all my youth. I learned how to teach a dog basic obedience through advanced courses such as rally(obstacle courses). I learned how each dog is different and meet them where they are at. I listen to pet parents and use their training style so the pets feel consistency. I am very gentle with all animals. Each one just wants to know they are safe when their parent is gone. I am a morning person so I am up early with my animals. I love being active in the morning. I know that animals usually like to be active in the mornings too. I will care for your pets as you have instructed. I want every parent to know their pet is safe because I listened to their instructions and I care for their well being.
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.
About: I have spent my whole life around dogs and cats! I volunteer at a local shelter and have been around the shy, sick, and old of both dogs and cats. Im very brave and confident when handling them and will not fail in caring for even the unfriendliest of animals. One of my cats at home has special needs pertaining to hydration, so, your pets with specific medical care will be taken care of 100% adequately! As I understand the fear in being a parent to a sick furbaby. I’m currently an unemployed student, so, while I am home for the summer, I have infinite time to play with your fluffy loved ones :). All of my cats are indoor only, I have never and will never hit my pets, and my dogs were always entertained and well fed. I think providing your animals with love, attention, nutrition, and safety are the most important things going on in my home.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I currently have a yellow lab, Ranger, who will be turning three in September—he’s truly my whole world! I’ve raised him since he was a puppy and have put a lot of time and care into his training, so I understand how important consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement are. I also have a 4-month-old puppy, River, so I’m very familiar with the energy, attention, and structure that puppies need. In addition to my own dogs, I’ve taken in foster dogs over the years, which has given me experience working with a wide range of personalities—from playful pups to senior dogs who need a gentler approach. Daily walks are one of my favorite activities, and I love making sure dogs get the exercise, enrichment, and attention they deserve. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a reliable sitter, or someone patient and experienced, I will treat them like my own—with lots of love, care, and attention to their unique needs. I’d love to meet your pup! I work a 8-5 so I could walk before work at anytime. I could also walk at 6 or 7 during the week after work! I love a morning walk with a pal. With a lab I know all about it a ton of energy and how to handle it. We have worked a ton on leash and he is 60 lbs.
“Maura was wonderful. She was so attentive and sent amazing pictures. She’s reliable and has amazing communication. I will absolutely be using her in the future and I recommend her 100%!”
“Khush was absolutely wonderful with our 9 yr old English Bulldog, Jax, and she exceeded our expectations!! She took such great care of Jax while we were away for six days, doing three drop-in visits per day. We are new to DTLA so Jax is not only adjusting to apartment life but this was his first time away from us since the beginning of covid. Although things didn’t go as smoothly as we had hoped since Jax had two accidents where he got sick, Khush was super patient and positive throughout, providing constant communication and photos. I feel like Khush really made an effort to make sure Jax was comfortable and having a good time by playing with him and embracing his quirky & weird personality. Lol. I could tell Jax was enjoying his time with a new buddy! Thank you, Khush!!!”
About: I’ve had and cared for dogs my whole life. I began learning the responsibilities of taking care of dogs when I was 10 but have lived with a dog since I was a baby. I’ve taken care of my own pets and others pets when they have become or were ill (such as cancer, simple old age, arthritis’s, etc). I have worked with/watched puppies and adult dogs all the way to end of life senior dogs. I treat all pets as if they are my own fur baby with endless love, care, and compassion. I do have experience working at a doggie daycare and boarding facility as I worked at one for 3 years. I know the basics to first aid in dogs but do not know how to give CPR. I currently work part time at a doggie daycare/boarding facility and every 2 weeks will have my availability. I am willing to do same day bookings if available. Most days I can do daily doggie checkins/walking. I make sure then dog/s alway has fresh clean water. I make sure they are fed and eat like normal. Take them out every 1-3 hours or as needed. Do daily walks or indoor playtime if raining.

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!
Michelle has excellent communication skills which is so important when you have to leave your fur baby! She was kind, thoughtful, Played and loved our golden, and made sure everything was left exactly as we had left it. Michelle even brought in our chewy box that arrived while she as here. I would highly recommend.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Strongsville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Strongsville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
