“I’m so grateful that Julia was able to take care of my cat with such short notice (due to a late cancellation from another provider). She was a pleasure to work with and took great care of everything for my cat.”
“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've been an animal person my entire life. I grew up helping pet-sit the neighborhood dogs, and my family loved a rescue German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix from the time I was 10 (she was 2) until she was 15 - she watched us grow up and even visited my college house. As an adult, my heart belonged to January, a border collie/American Staffordshire terrier mix I brought home in my late 20s after seeing her story on the news. She was an energetic, clever puppy who taught me patience, consistency, and the value of positive training. We had 13 wonderful years together before she passed in November 2025. Losing January left a hole in my routine and my heart, and I’m not quite ready to adopt again - but I’ve found real joy and healing in caring for other people's pets. I've recently house-sat and hosted dogs, cats, and birds for friends and family, from puppies and kittens to seniors on medications with special needs. That experience, plus a gentle nudge from the people who suggested Rover, is what brings me here. I've used the same trusted vet since I was a kid and know the ropes - comfortable administering medication, contacting the vet, or getting emergency care if needed. Your pet will be loved, watched closely, and cared for like one of my own. I work a hybrid schedule: two days at home (typically Monday and Friday) and three 8-hour days in an Avon Lake office (Tuesday-Thursday). My schedule is flexible and easy to swap these days. I can use my noon lunch break for midday walks, potty breaks, and playtime if you're within 5-10 miles of my location. I’m available in the evenings after work for walks, feeding & visits. I'm also happy to water plants, bring in mail, and handle other small house-sitting tasks. I live in a cozy Lakewood duplex on the first floor with a front yard and porch that dogs (including my former dog and the neighbors’ dogs) love to lounge on. I have a yard stake leash available for safe outdoor time. I already have bowls, beds, leashes, and other supplies, so your pup won't need to travel with a pile of gear if you don’t want to. I can board up to two dogs at a time -any size, any friendly mix - but I don't board cats in my home (happy to care for them at yours).
About: I’ve grown up with animals all throughout my childhood, which i’ve helped care for. I had 4 dogs in my family home and loved growing up with them. This has helped me learn many skills and how to care for dogs. I was so interested in joining Rover because caring for animals is something I naturally enjoy. I would love to help families and to be a trusted person that you can rely on. My animals mean the world to me and I know how important it is to find the right person to care for them. Would love to get to know your four legged friends! I’m currently available during the weekdays as well as weekends. I work a job but have some time in between assignments so I am currently very flexible. I will accommodate to the needs of every animal making sure they feel as safe and comfortable as they can be. I will build trust and help every animal.
“Allyce was incredible with our senior cat. We found out shortly before our scheduled vacation that he needed subcutaneous fluids and he was struggling with a new diet regimen. She took all those hiccups with stride and took the time to truly visit with our very social boy. He was clearly so happy and well taken care of when we came home. She also cleaned his fountain the last day of the booking, which was a lovely surprise to come home too. I would highly recommend her and look forward to working with her in the future!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for several years and have experience both pet sitting and staying overnight in clients’ homes. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ve cared for pets of different ages and personalities, providing feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention. I treat every pet like my own and always strive to make them feel comfortable and loved.

I’m fully available Friday through Sunday and make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care. I always do my best to work around each pet’s routine and individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I always follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I treat every home with respect, keep owners updated with messages and photos, and make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their family is away.

About: I currently have 1 dog, 1 cat, and tons of exotics!I have worked in a pet rescue giving me experience with shy dogs and the most outgoing dogs. I've been trained on safe walking practices and safe dog interactions. I would love to help care for your pets! With the pets I have, I'm always working and learning about the care I can provide them! With my dog and cat, I'm ready to play with them. I also work at a pet store specializing in fish. I'm happy and ready to join your pets live's as long as I can! For dog walking and drop in visits I like to spend time letting the dog sniff me before harnessing or leashing. I want to make sure they are comfortable with me in their space. Once showing a more relaxed body language I'm ready to earn trust and take walks around neighborhoods and take dogs out for their potty breaks.
“Lexie was fantastic with daily check ins for my sweet cat while we were away for almost two weeks. She gave her a lot of loves, playtime, and special treats, sending me lots of pics each time so I got to stay updated on her happenings. I’ll definitely rebook in the future and highly recommend!”
About: I grew up working at a dog kennel and have always owned dogs. Some of my best friends are trained professionals and I've learned a lot from them. I can do walks, playtimes and certain medications. I can do over nights just not at my house for the time being. I only work Saturday and Sunday but am Still available early Sundays and later after 9 as well as late (after 12am) on Saturday. My days are pretty open during normal pet care hours and outside of them. Dogs love me, and I understand dog body language. My dog was over 100 lbs and I can handle him just fine. I love dog play times and don't mind running with them to get energy out. I just love dogs and making money. Message me with any questions or concerns.
About: I have several years of cat and dog experience. I grew up with animals and have taken care of them from early ages all the way through senior ages. I love all animals like their my own and love taking care of them! I'm currently working full time. However, I have evenings, weekends and holiday's off. I am pretty flexible with my weekends and can accommodate you and your animals for any needs! I have lots of training in dog walking. I have a dog of my own who went through training as a puppy and I have always remembered my training with her when I deal with other people's animals.
About: Recently left my quality management role at Amazon and now pursuing a career in what feeds my spirit - animals. My pets have changed my life for the better, I believe everyone should have the ability to experience what I have! Since I was in kindergarten I have had a unique connection with animals, and starting this new chapter in my life is terrifying yet amazing. So if you decide to book with me or only will you be supporting local (so thank you), but you will feel completely at peace knowing your pet is not just another checkbox on my list…. But a new friend I am happy to have made. I exercise my pets everyday and ensure they are training consistently. I currently have a flexible schedule so we can work on your needs and scheduling. My home is puppy proof, along with a gate I use to separate the upstairs from downstairs so my cat can have some peace and quiet lol
About: After I walk and feed the pet, I like to sit with them and spend time with them. Familiarity is very important and they appreciate the time. I currently work part time and while I am involved in other things, I do like to help my friends out and pet sit for them. While I only can offer service from client's residence, I tend to follow pet parents' instructions for food, exercise, and genuine care. I like to practice the same routine as the pet owner as much as I can.
“Kaleigh was absolutely amazing!!! She took such great care of our 4 cats, stopping in twice a day to give one of them medications, feeding them, and scooping the litter. She provided wonderfully detailed reports after each visit and so many pictures of our kitties! She even made sure that she saw the ones that were hiding from her and got some pictures just so she knew they were safe. It really made our time away from them easier to handle as we knew they were in expert hands. Our experience with Kaleigh really made us so comfortable while we were out of town. We will absolutely be rebooking with Kaleigh on our next trip! Thanks so much Kaleigh!!!!”
About: I have always found myself surrounded with dogs of one kind or another and have loved each and every one from my own dear family dog, who we lost last year, or the puppy that I visit twice a week for family friends. I think that dogs, like people, have their own personalities and traits that make them unique and lovable in their own ways. You can get a doggo who is docile and sweet and only wants cuddles or you can have that crazy little thing that runs around like there is no tomorrow. I love to discover these quirks and tendencies of these four legged buddies and then develop a bond with them. I believe it is important to make a meaningful connection with your charges and from there you can really build a lasting relationship with the dogs. Every day is a little bit different but what is always the same is the level of care provided for your pet. The basics of breakfast, dinner, and pottying are all covered but I like to throw in some extra enrichment and fun so maybe your pet will get a trip to a coffee shop or the dog beach or maybe a pet friendly store. It really depends on what your pet might want on a particular day. Whatever it is, you’ll get tons of pictures and the occasional arts and crafts because it brings me joy 🤩 At my home, I have a large backyard that is fully fenced and the dogs get full range. The only portion they’re not invited into is my garden. I like to be the only one who does the watering there. Inside the pups get to hang out where they choose and if your dog needs a little quite space, I have a couple crates or baby gates that will help with that. Safety is the biggest priority though and cameras are in every room because I cannot be. I do my best to match dogs to other dogs they’re going to have a nice time with and also keep separate the ones that would prefer to have a closer knit circle of friends. Every animal is unique and I’d like them all to have an enjoyable time while they’re under my care
“Nevaeh was punctual and she took good care of our pets. The shy one actually went up to her for a sniff of her hand. She followed the daily routine and sent daily communications at visit times. I highly recommend her. Thank you Nevaeh.”
“Aliyah was great at taking care of my cat while I was out of town. She was prompt and professional and sent me photos of my cat daily. She was also able to accommodate for my cat’s dietary requirements. I would strongly recommend her services”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Westlake
Maddy is a caring and attentive sitter. She proactively clarified instructions and followed them to the letter. She gave detailed updates from the visits and always added several photos of the cats playing, eating, hanging out, and being petted. She successfully administered meds to our two senior cats who can be wiggly and hide before dosing. I would definitely book Maddy again to drop in and care for our cats!
Emilee was great with our 3 cats, two of which are pretty shy and wary of strangers. She seemed to be very patient with them and it showed in the many photos she sent us during her drop in visits. Emilee had no issues giving our two cats their medications while we were gone and didn’t seemed fazed at all when we told her she might need to be patient and follow one of our cats around until she tires out since she doesn’t like getting her medication. Emilee’s care for animals showed in her communication and photos during her drop ins and we will definitely book with her again.
Allan was truly a lifesaver. He stepped in at the last minute and helped us through a tough situation with our two kitties, and we’re so grateful for his flexibility and kindness. He went out of his way to accommodate our requests and handled everything with professionalism and care. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need of reliable, compassionate help.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Westlake is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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. 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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
