“Thanks Leah for taking such good care of Charlie! He seems to have enjoyed your company. I appreciate your offer of an extra visit after he threw up and also that you cleaned it up. Lol! I’ll be I touch again.”
About: Hi there! I’m a full-time teacher with a lifelong passion for animals. Growing up, my home was always filled with pets from dogs, cats, and rabbits to fish, hamsters, and birds! I’m a proud pet parent to my sweet Pug and a very spunky orange tabby cat. I’ve personally used Rover for my own pets and absolutely loved my experiences. For over 10 years, I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors. My profession has given me endless patience, a strong sense of responsibility, and an eye for safety. I treat every animal in my care as I would my own family. Whether your dog wants to get outside and explore on a walk or your cat needs company and cuddles, I’d love to help make sure your adorable pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! My routine gives me wonderful, reliable flexibility to focus on your pets! I’m available early mornings, late afternoons, evenings, and all weekend long. Best of all, I have summers and holidays completely off, my schedule opens up fully for daytime walks, extra cuddles, and dedicated care when you need it most! Safety is always my highest priority! I stay alert, follow your exact routines, secure all doors and gates, keep dogs on sturdy leashes, and ensure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved.
“Lauren was awesome with our beloved cat Regan. She was punctual everyday for her drop in visits and spent extra time with Regan. Lauren was very professional. Regan is a senior cat with some health issues. Lauren was very conscientious when monitoring Regan’s medications and administration which helped us feel more comfortable . We will definitely be using her again.”
“Bailey was fantastic!!! I needed someone to help last minute for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and she was able to make it happen. My dog, Scout, was immediately comfortable with her. He gave her lots of snuggles and kisses while I was gone. I could not have asked for a better sitter to trust with my pup over the holidays! I highly recommend Bailey!”
“I have two cats, one being diabetic and Katie was able to help me last minute when my sitter fell through. She sent me multiple updates and took care of everything I needed! Would definitely recommend Katie again!”
About: I have 3 dogs that I live with in different sizes. They all have different personalities and needs. I am comfortable with all kinds of dogs, big or small. I’m currently working part time so I have a lot of free time to walk and take care of your pets! Looking forward to it! I have a big backyard with lots of space and lots of treats and toys for the puppies. They will have the best time ever.
About: Hi, I'm Nevaeh! I've grown up around animals my entire life and have over 5 years of pet care experience. I currently have 1 dog of my own, so I understand how much love, patience, and attention every pet deserves. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or just extra cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to provide dependable, compassionate care. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family! work three 12-hour shifts each week, which gives me several days off to dedicate to pet care. On my days off, I have a flexible schedule and can provide walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feedings, and lots of love and attention. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your pet's routine, respect your home, and make sure they have fresh water, meals, exercise, and plenty of affection. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you know your furry friend is happy and well cared for.
“Paula is great! She has been my go to for a number of years now. My pups love her and our new cat now too! She always sends photos of the wagging tails which puts me at ease while I'm gone. I know I can rest at ease knowing Paula is on the job!”
About: Hi my name is Yocheved, but a lot of people call me Yo, or Ava. I am an only parent to a wonderful, active middle schooler. We have a happy home full of love and laughter, and 2 kitties. After 14 magical years together, we lost our dog to old age, a couple years back. I miss the feel of having a dog around, but I know in my heart of hearts we are all a little older, and a little busier, and our home cannot house a new permanent four-legged resident. But I do not accept the lack of dogs in our lives! I said yes to dog sitting lately, and I have made so many new friends since. Hanging out with your dogs or cats when you're unable to be there- it's become a thing I look forward to in my home. I love walking the neighborhood or doing drop-ins to feed cats. Let me help you! I'm currently WFH part time, and tend to end my days on the early side, for parenting purposes. Because of this I'm pretty flexible and available throughout the week. I tend to all pets, like I would for my own. I cared for my dog through cancer, twice- so I'm pretty familiar with medicine, senior care, and all the extra effort needed for older or sick animlas. I love to walk, burn off energy, and snuggle. Happy to do light grooming (brushing), and send photos and videos throughout our time together!
About: I love the clients I get to work with as a pet sitter. I love providing stress free and reliable pet care for people when they need the help. It's a big deal to let someone into your home and trust them with the care of your pets. I understand the responsibility and don't take it lightly. I am experienced with puppies and dogs, cats and farm animals, special needs, reactive and senior dogs. I treat others' pets as if they were my own. It brings me a lot of joy to make your pet feel loved, happy and safe. I'm comfortable crating, walking, giving medicine and other special needs. There's nothing I won't do for your pet - its a very important member of your family! I can provide any additional references upon request! Pet sitting fits into my routine perfectly because I work remotely, so I have the flexibility to be with your animal/s as much or as little as you prefer! I care for my clients pets based on their requests, preferences and routines. I am comfortable walking, crating, giving commands, and following each person's instructions for how they want their animals to be cared for.
“Molly was amazing! Upon doing meet and greet you could tell she was professional and reliable. She was quick to communicate and great with sending updates. You could tell she really cares about your pets. Will definitely book with Molly again!”
“Great with our dog, Stella. Briana was patient and kind as Stella became adjusted to a new person. She sent photos of Stella’s activities, which was appreciated. We have already scheduled Briana to come again!”
About: I have been around pets all my life's and mostly cats/dogs. I became a pet sitter and pet groomer after high school when I noticed i loved being around animals all the time. I feel more relaxed with a dog than I do meeting a new friend. Dogs and cats have been there when I needed them most. While working with pets I got to know basic training, puppy care and senior care too in my grooming classes I went too. Over time I expanded to groom snalled pets such as ferrets, guinea pigs, and small birds. I wake up around 8-9am feed my fur babies and then eat breakfast. 10am to 12pm clean any mess they made or clean around house. 1-2pm feed and eat lunch. 3pm-4pm watch a show or movie and cuddle on the couch with fur babies. 5-6pm start feeding dinner. 6-7pm go for a walk around the block. 8-9pm get ready for bed. I love having fur babies with me. They are more loving then people sometimes. I've had a dog, a cat, a rabbit and a ferret. My dream is to have a small farm one day.
“Jessica has been fantastic during drop-in visits for our dog Buddy! It was clear the second she walked in our home that she knows and loves dogs. Buddy was instantly comfortable with her thanks to her warm and welcoming demeanor. Knowing Buddy has someone that we can trust to drop-in while we are at work is very comforting. Highly recommend Jessica!!”

Showed up as requested and took great care of both of our dogs. Let them out, fed them, and gave them some playtime.

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 Willoughby Hills 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 .

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 .
