Lauren & Layla have looked after our sweet boy two times thus far - it’s been such an awesome experience. Communication and visit updates are the best, we’ve already booked our next visit and plan to work with them for the foreseeable future! Nothing better than peace of mind knowing our little guy is in good, loving care!

About: I have always had a fondness for animals, I believe they show us the best parts of love! I have taken care of many animals including cats, dogs, and goats for many friends and family. I love spending time with the little babies who need a bit of extra attention, time, and patience! I am currently employed full time within walking distance from my apartment. I go on walks in the morning and evening, and would love more companions! I have a knack for reading how people/animals are doing in new situations, so I do my best to provide a gentle, patient, and loving home away from home!

About: Hi! I'm Becca—a wife, mom, teacher, and dog lover. I currently work part-time during the school year and am home on Mondays and Fridays, as well as full-time during the summer. As a mom, I've been looking for a flexible way to earn extra income while doing something I genuinely enjoy, and caring for dogs is a perfect fit! Both my husband and I grew up with dogs and have always considered them part of the family. We have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from small breeds to larger dogs. Our own dog is a 7-year-old, 65-pound Labradoodle who is a much-loved member of our family. When your dog is in my care, I will treat them like one of my own. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply providing a safe and loving environment, I'll do my best to make sure your furry friend feels comfortable and cared for while you're away. I'd love the opportunity to care for your pet! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. I’m currently working part time- so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! My schedule is especially flexible in the summer. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines, and personalities, so I do my best to follow the care instructions provided by each owner. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They will have plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and opportunities for exercise. I have experience with both small and large dogs and will make sure they feel comfortable in a clean, safe environment. In a client's home, I work to maintain the pet's normal routine as closely as possible. Whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I want pets to feel secure and cared for while their owners are away. As a teacher and mom, I understand the importance of responsibility, communication, and trust. I will provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I have worked in the Forsyth Humane Society for years and have grown up with all kinds of dogs! I have walked dogs of all sizes and training levels and can maintain them all! I am available for long walks and even runs with dogs if wanted! I will be working a hybrid internship this summer which will allow me to fit dog walks and visits into my day! I am a collegiate athlete so I am also moving around and working out. These walks would most likely be my second workout of the day and a good way to keep moving throughout the day! I am a very compassionate and loving caretaker of dogs, both at my own home and with others dogs. Throughout my experience at the Forsyth Humane Society I learned how to care for different types of dogs and can adapt quickly to what a dog needs or wants!

About: Hello! My name is Abby and I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and plants since 2015. Pet-sitting truly is my joy!! I have experience checking in on pets during the day time, cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs of all shapes and sizes on walks, and overnight house sitting for up to 2 weeks at a time. Thanks to my daytime job as a Youth Pastor my schedule is more flexible than most. I pride myself on customizing each pet sitting experience to the pet and their owner(s). The beauty of pet sitting over boarding is that this experience can be tailored to what YOUR special needs are! Like I said my experience is considerable, I am also self taught for basic pet training. For instance, if your dog has a history of on-leash walking issues, while I’m with them I’d be happy to plant seeds for good behavior on future walks. Just say the word and I’ll do everything I can to make it happen! Historically I’ve acquired jobs mainly from word of mouth. While I may be newer to a platform like Rover, know that I am a well-seasoned pet sitter who has experience with a variety of households, breeds, ages, and situations. I pride myself on my vast skill set when it comes to pet sitting so if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. I’m at your service! My full-time job is being a Youth Pastor. This means I have a very flexible schedule and am able to pop in to care for your pets at the needed times or even work remotely if needed. Most weeks my meetings are limited to Tuesday mornings, otherwise my schedule is pretty fluid. While I am unable to offer my own home for pet sitting, I can guarantee that I will care for your pet(s) in their home environment as well as I would my own. If you have a dog, one of my first questions I ask when pet-sitting is… “how long is your dog accustomed to waiting in between potty breaks?” I ask because each pet has different needs and I never want to make a dog wait longer than they typically would. I also want to keep to their normal schedule as much as possible, if they’re used to daily walks at certain times or being feed at very particular times then I will make notes to care for them the same way you do. The goal truly is for the dog or cat to receive the same attention and care that they have when their favorite people are home :)

About: I’m dedicated to keeping your pets safe and happy! My experience includes: fostering and training a 7 year old husky mix with behavioral problems and training my 3 year old dog since puppyhood with the help of a friend who is a behavioral dog trainer. I have also done overnight stays for senior dogs with specialized care needs due to PTSD. I have administered oral and eye medication to several dogs. I’m comfortable with most size breeds and would welcome a meet and greet. I’m currently studying for school, so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I’m available most early afternoons to evenings Monday through Sunday. I offer overnight stays as well as an extended stays. I offer multiple walks per day and enrichment time to dogs I sit for. I’m happy to crate your dog as needed and follow any routine medication, diet and commands that would maintain their safety and happiness. I routinely update clients daily on the status of their dogs with videos and pictures.

About: I have never not had a dog in my life. I have owned Labs, Boxers, German Shepherds, Irish Setters, Huskies, and Bulldogs. While only owning larger breeds, I do have experience with smaller dogs. I have worked as a home care professional dealing with older people and their pets, with overnight stays which involved cleaning and meal preparation. Athletics have always been an important part of my life and that carries over to playing with, walking and caring for the dogs. I would say that my biggest weakness is that I often get attached to the dogs, however I would say that is a strength as far as the dogs are concerned. I am very trustworthy and dedicated with a good work history and work ethic. I can currently working full time and also attending UNF full time. My hours vary from day to day, just because of class times, so if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask! I don’t offer services in my own home, so I will come to yours. Depending on the yard situation, I love to take dogs outside and run around with them or play fetch with them, just help them get their energy out. Especially if they’ve been kept inside for most of the day! I know my dogs really enjoy this, so I make sure to get that play-time in, while dogsitting. I also know that it is very important to dog owners to get the walk in, everyday. So, I always make sure to listen to those instructions and follow through with them, it’s always good to keep up the routine and the dogs always look forward to it!

About: Hi! We’re Jana and Kendric, a reliable pet care team with a shared love for animals. Having two sitters means your pets receive extra attention, supervision, and care while you’re away. We both have experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets who need a calmer, more attentive routine. We’re comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, litter box care, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. We understand that every pet is different, so we take time to learn their habits, preferences, and personality. Whether your dog needs plenty of exercise or your cat prefers quiet companionship, we adapt our care to what makes them happiest. We also have experience following detailed care instructions and can administer oral medications if needed. Safety and communication are very important to us, so we always make sure your pets are supervised, secure, and well cared for at all times. While you’re away, we provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and in good hands. Our goal is to make your pets feel loved and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. We treat every pet like they’re part of our own family and look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 🐾🐶🐱 We (Jana and Kendric) work opposite schedules, which allows us to provide consistent care and supervision for your pets. Because of this, someone is home with your pet most of the time, ensuring they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. We’re able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins. Having two caregivers also means greater flexibility if your pet has specific needs or requires extra attention. Our goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and never left alone for long periods, while maintaining the routine they’re used to at home. 🐾🐶🐱 When caring for pets in our home or in a client’s home, we focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. We follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, medications, and any special needs their pet may have. For dogs, we provide regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention to keep them happy and exercised. For cats, we make sure litter boxes are kept clean, feeding routines are maintained, and they receive playtime and affection while still respecting their space. We always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication. We keep environments secure, monitor pets closely, and send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. Our goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved. 🐾🐶🐱

About: My full time job allows for flexibility during the work day and allows me to work anywhere with wifi. I can often be in the home caring for your animals or taking them out more often than a traditional sitter who works a 9-5. I dog sit for many members of my family and have had dogs since I was 2 years old. I have a lot of experience giving medication and working with elderly animals. If I am available, I would love to set up a meet and greet to see if I would be a good fit! I work a flexible 9-5 and can drop in to walk or spend additional time caring for your animal(s) because of the flexibility! I wake up early as well! I treat each home like I am a true guest there and treat it and the animals if they were my own. I am very respectful of the rules and furniture.

About: • Feed and entertain a variety of pets. • Walk dogs for exercise and companionship. • Communicate with pet owners to understand their concerns. • Record animal information, such as dietary intake and treatments. • Grooming dog breeds as needed. • I also have experience with intensive care and disabled dogs. (Our sweet fur baby, Miracle, got sick from a tick when we were traveling and developed a brain infection. She was paralized and blind for 3 months! Thankfully, with the help of our vet and our intensive care provided at home, she is still slightly blind but she has made a full recovery!) I am available nearly all the time. The only exception would be when we are visiting our family that lives out of state. This is usually in July and December! We have 8 children who are use to being around a variety of animals all the time. I have three friendly dogs and four friendly cats. I also have chickens and goats that are in their own fennced area.

I have worked with high energy dogs that need a large amount of exercise to taking care of my own 17 year old golden and the geriatric challenges that come with old age. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Advance on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 1,289 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Advance. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Advance stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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 Advance 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 .

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 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 Advance with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Advance. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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 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.
