“Ebony did a great job watching my 11 mo. old puppy over the weekend. She stayed and left the house spotless. She also communicated very well when my puppy had an issue with her harness (puppy was nervous about someone new) and was open about what was going on. Puppy was in good hands and I could relax on vacation. I would highly recommend using Ebony for an overnight stay!”
“Shannon was amazing with our dog Bean. She took care of her so well. Also was great with sending pictures and communications. Would certainly recommend her as a great dog sitter!”
“Octavia was exceptional in every positive way! She paid great attention to our requests and instructions, was extremely communicative and always available and took excellent care of our cat. We are very pleased with her care and attention to detail. A wonderfully warm and compassionate person she is!”
“James was absolutely amazing!!! Took great care of my senior cat Vino who has asthma. I can't recommend James enough! I felt such relief and comfort knowing Vino was in good hands while I was traveling.”
About: I have professional animal care experience of 4+ years working in a dog daycare/boarding facility and in pet stores where I cared for small mammals, reptiles, and fish. I've also had dogs and cats my whole life. New to cleveland area, looking to explore and earn on this side gig! I currently work as a bartender- almost exclusively at night, so my days are very open! The perfect fit for me would be jobs in the early afternoon. With love, kindness, and respect! Animals are living creatures and should be treated as such. That being said I'm aware certain animals will need specific care and would do whatever I could to comply with them :)
“Being our first experience with Rover, we were nervous about leaving our two elderly dogs for a long weekend with someone we didn’t know. Both have special needs, and one requires around-the-clock supervision. Thankfully, Emily was there for us. While we were impressed with her skills and experience, what really put us at ease was her enthusiasm, attentive nature and genuine compassion for the pets she cares for. Emily addressed all our concerns, bonded quickly with our dogs, kept us informed and somehow managed to follow all our complex care instructions. We are grateful to Emily for keeping our puppies safe and hope that she will be available to watch over them again when the time comes.”
About: I have owned dogs (and periodically cats) my entire life. Family, friends, and neighbors regularly turn to me when in need of pet care. I recently moved to Ohio from Dallas where I was known by work colleagues and friends as the “street dog whisperer.” Every day after work I would spend hours finding and rescuing street dogs by myself. I have fostered many dogs over the years in Dallas and volunteered at our overcrowded animal shelter on the weekends. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes, and have experience caring for dogs with injuries (e.g., broken bones) and respiratory infections commonly contracted in shelters. In terms of my profession, I am a clinical psychologist. Since moving here from Dallas I am searching for full time employment, so I currently have flexible availability to provide care to your pets as they deserve! I am patient, caring, conscientious, and the love I hold for animals is a core part of who I am. I would love to care for your pets and provide you with peace of mind, whether it be for a 30 minute walk or a weekend stay. Since moving here I am searching for full time employment. Given that, I have a very flexible schedule during weekdays and weekends to provide care for your pets. In your home it’s your rules! I will follow the instructions provided regarding the proper care for your pet in your home (e.g., using a crate, proper feeding & exercise schedule, rules regarding pets on furniture, etc).
“Mont’e was absolutely amazing! He provided excellent care for my cat and dog while house sitting. I was pretty nervous to leave town and Mont’e was super kind and professional. He updated me regularly, took my dog on walks, and even took her to his family’s Christmas Eve celebration (after asking of course) because I was worried about her having separation anxiety! Mont’e treated my pets as if they were his own and when I came back they were both super calm and relaxed because of the great care provided. Mont’e was also super respectful of my home and left it very neat and tidy! Highly recommend Mont’e for all pet sitting needs, I’ll definitely be asking him to come back!”
“Thank you again for watching the pups for us! Nate was great once again, now with caring for my very fresh tripod husky! He followed her specific care instructions that included medications! The dogs and I truly appreciate you! Till next time.”
“Marti watched my husband and I’s dog at our house for a few days when we were on vacation, and she was great! She sent me pictures of Louie twice a day and kept me updated with how he was doing. She was very responsive in the planning process when I had questions, and kept up with great communication during her stay. Our house was clean when we got home and our dog seemed happy and healthy. I definitely recommend Marti for any dog/ house sitting needs!”
About: I have taken care of small and large dogs for family and friends. I also have 1 large lovely American pittbull of my own. Examples of the care I can provide: - walking - picking up 💩 - cuddling - playing - brushing - administrating medication - diet and allergies I provide additional petcare part-time, so I'm normally avaliable in the afternoon, evenings, or nights on Tues.,Wed.,Thurs.,Fri., and Sunday's evenings/nights. I make sure I feed my 8 cats and 1 dog twice daily and I prioritize socializing and cuddles with my cats and dog daily.
“Megan and Jeremiah were great. It was only one night, but they took great care of my foster dog, Zoey. They left my house prsotiem and even took out my garbage! They were both very friendly and kind.”
“I would give Lori 10,000 stars if possible; she is absolutely THE BEST!! Our little Shih Tzu, Molly, took to her immediately, and that is unusual for Molly. While we were away, Lori checked in to let us know all was well so we could relax and enjoy ourselves, knowing Molly was in good hands. Lori is kind and gentle, and it is obvious she loves fur babies. We will definitely contact Lori again when we are in the North Canton area!!! Thank you again, Lori. You're wonderful!”
“Ellen watched our two boys for our wedding weekend and was wonderful. She provided updates and photos the entire time. Kept home clean too. I would book again in a heart beat. Thanks Ellen!”
About: Hi!!! I love dogs and love watching them! Love their personalities and am good with showing them love ! I can’t wait to meet your baby/babies! I have a pretty open schedule! During the day I am always home. Some nights I work but when at work my man is home. I have a mini dachshund whose name is Oreo 😊who is super friendly and playful! I live in an apartment and put my window I have a little area where the dogs can run free that is fenced in! I can also take the dogs on walks or just let them play inside whatever you’re comfortable with! However they live with you they will live with me 🥰

Dasha was amazing! Was in the area visiting and needed a sitter for one of the days. She made sure to stop by several times throughout the day to make sure my dog and my friend's dog both got plenty of walks, got fed, got pets, affection, and attention, and got to play. I came home to a very happy boy. She also communicated with me throughout and sent us plenty of pictures and updates. Would definitely hire her again next time I'm in town. Thank you, Dasha!
Danielle is an amazing dog sitter. Our dog is so excited when she comes. We enjoy our vacations rest assured she is taking great care of Huckleberry. She sends us updates and pictures to keep us informed on how he is doing. We highly recommend her as a dog sitter. She very trust worthy and responsible.
Debra was amazing! The dogs loved her and she was very attentive to them. I received pictures throughout the weekend and everyone was just chillin. She even had to deal with a really bad wind storm over the weekend with power going in and out but she stayed with the dogs all weekend which I really appreciated. She also took extra time to clean up a bunch of branches and sticks that were blown down in the yard. And she left the house in great condition! Will definately have her back!!

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 Valley View 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 Valley View 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Valley View 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!

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.

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.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
