“Jenna was so awesome!! Very communicative and responsive with scheduling, sent lots of pics and updates throughout each day, had a beautiful and safe home for my dog to play and relax. He even came home with a new toy!! Absolutely would recommend.”
“We are sooo pleased with the great service Tove and Gerald provided. They really made Levi part of their family while he was there. We will not hesitate asking them to watch our precious boy again!”
“Kaitlynn was great! I loved that she updated me on how my puppy was doing, i was a little nervous because she's anxious around people but wants attention at the same time. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Angela is amazing and did a great job keeping us updated on our pup! We knew he was in great hands. So appreciated her communication. Our dog did great with her pup!”
“Angela was an absolutely fantastic sitter for our dog! From the moment we met her, we could tell she genuinely cares about animals. She was attentive, responsible, and kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave us much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy and well cared for when we returned. Angela followed all of our instructions perfectly, including feeding instructions and walks. We will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
About: Hi. I’m Clifford H’s Wife. I help him take care of your fur babies and absolutely love all of the personalities that they bring. I’m normally behind the camera taking the pics, thus I don’t have many with me in the shots. So, to not waste any time; go check out his profile. You deserve that vacation, staycation or time off; go book with Cliff. I work remotely with occasional days that I need to report to the office. My home office has my desk and “a few” dog beds and lots of plants. The house sits on a 1/4 acre lot and has a huge fenced in back yard. We converted the sitting room to the dogroom as we crate (where size allows) the dogs at night for sleeping. Go see Cliff’s profile-he’s got all the details.
“Stacie and Doug are the best! They treated our Westie like the Queen that she is and sent us notes so we could remain connected. We met in advance of our booking to get to know each other and they were very kind when I had some last minute changes to our agenda. Our pup got along very well with their pup and we would recommend them for your pup as well!”
“Bri I wanna thank you so much for your boarding service! You are God sent. You loved on my baby, kept me informed, sent pictures and treated him like your own. You took great care of my Brawny! I am looking forward to booking with you again! I appreciate you!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. At that time, we got a standard poodle puppy (Inspector Gadget) who I fed, walked, played with, and let out before/after school everyday. When he was about 3, we also got a springer spaniel (Sookie) from the shelter who was an absolute angel, and mine and Gadget’s best friend. I always made sure they had what they needed and felt loved! I took care of Gadget until he sadly passed at the age of 14, and Sookie until she passed at the age of 10, so I have experience with elderly dogs as well. My mom recently got a golden retriever puppy who I would visit to walk, feed, and play with occasionally while she is at work. I also have experience with birds and cats. I am currently working as a resident at one of the local hospitals, so my schedule is variable, but by booking me you know that you will get a trusted professional to care for your pets. I am free every other weekend to care for pets, and am generally free in the evenings of weekdays. I have no problem showing any pet love, regardless of size or breed, and will make sure they get the attention and love they need! I am used to big and mid-sized dogs since that’s what I grew up with, so walking large dogs will not be a problem. I am familiar with standard training practices for dogs as well and will adhere to any specific instructions.
“I was very comfortable with leaving Mellow with Angi. She sent me pictures and kept me up to date on how he was adjusting to new surroundings. I definitely recommend her services.”
“Riya is a phenomenal sitter, she has taken great care of my dog and is a wonderful communicator. I can travel stress free knowing my dog is in good hands.”
“Flora was very good with my pup, she sends pictures and gave him a lot of exercise. I love that she gives a list and time of everything they did during the stay.”
“Chelsea was simply amazing. Her lovely family took care of my dog Lola the best possible way. From morning walks, slumber parties, and daily photos Chelsea went above and beyond to ensure that my dog was loved and well cared for.”
“It was very hard to leave our Hope for so long, but we knew she was in excellent hands. We are very pleased with the care and daily updates via pictures. We will definitely leave Hope with Sarah and Brendon when the need presents itself in the future.”
About: My name is Ivette and I currently study at Case. My husband is a USPS mail carrier and I work from home. Currently, I have one dog and two rescue cats🐾. During the pandemic, I spent a significant amount of time with my pets indoors where I had the opportunity to take care of two litters that my dogs had. I learned many skills during that time. With age, my dog became a senior dog and had to take oral medication so I am used to giving oral/topical medication to pets. I have been living in the Cleveland area since 2019 but I am originally from Texas. My current home has a fenced back yard and a good route for walks. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.
“Karin did an awesome job, our communication was frequently, she understands what a dog mom needs. She sent me updates, photos and details. She take care of Noah like if was her own. She made me feel secure to be away from him. Ill recommend her 100%.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since i was a little girl, they’re an important part of my life. Every dog that visits will receive a bath if requested! Very good with senior pups! I have a very flexible work, as well as my husbands schedule so always there to do potty breaks and just give some love and attention! I have one dog right now, he’s a 6 year old lab. He’s pretty chill, likes to play & would love to have a buddy to play with!

Travis was great with my dogs. Our Flight back was delayed. He was very understanding of the situation and thoughtful. My dogs seemed to have had a great time with him, they were great spirts and excited when I arrived. This is my second time using Travis and I will definitely use him again.
Lana was absolutely wonderful, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided for Lucky. From the beginning, she was kind, attentive, and very easy to communicate with. She regularly sent me photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to see that Lucky was comfortable, happy, and being well cared for throughout his stay. It was clear that Lana treated Lucky with a lot of affection, patience, and attention. Leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, but she made the entire experience feel easy and reassuring. When I picked Lucky up, he looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I’m truly grateful for everything she did and would not hesitate to leave Lucky with her again in the future. I highly recommend Lana to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and trustworthy sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Lucky!
Brina took excellent care of my dog, Arlo, while I was away. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind throughout the stay. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and made sure he got plenty of walks, attention, and affection. Arlo came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust Brina to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!
Another wonderful stay for my pups. This was the first longer stay for my pup, Teddy and he can be nervous with new people. Seeing pictures of him playing with the other pups and cuddling with Susan and Jason made me so happy. I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter for my two dogs.
Our pup Charlie was in great hands with Alyssa and her crew for the last 10 days. From the start, Alyssa was responsive, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She shared frequent updates, photos, and videos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was obvious Charlie was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime, and he looked happy and well cared for throughout his stay. We came home to a relaxed, healthy pup, and we’re so grateful for the care he received. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Charlie with Alyssa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their dog.
Tove & Gerry are the best. Our 10 year old Golden Doodle Marley had only been boarded once in her life. From the first minute that she walked into their home Marley was comfortable. They took great care of her, sent updates and pictures and cared for her like she was their own. Tove even slept with Marley one night when her tummy wasn’t feeling great. You couldn’t ask for two more wonderful people to watch your little one.
she always does such a great job and is so amazing about keeping you in the loop and updated, i was away for about 11 days and i have a puppy and a senior pup and her and Colt (her pup) were such amazing sitters and were so great with both of my pups for the long stay 🐾 🦴 💜

There are 868 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in University Heights. About 94% of University Heights sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

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.

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.
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 .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
