“Gabriel did a great job with our pets. He made sure a grumpy Maine Coon got his heart meds and made sure the Frenchie did not get overheated. I would recommend him to anyone.”
“We had such a great experience with Margaret! She was incredibly communicative, always on time, and stayed for the full length of every scheduled drop-in visit. I really appreciated the updates and knowing that our dog was getting the attention and care! Margaret was reliable, consistent, and gave me complete peace of mind. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and attentive sitter!”
About: Hi, I’m Amy! I believe pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with kindness, patience, and attention. Whether your dog enjoys walks and playtime or your cat prefers quiet company, I’ll take the time to learn what helps them feel comfortable. I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and keep you updated with photos and messages. From meals and fresh water to walks, litter box care, and companionship, my goal is to help your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and am available weekdays, nights, and weekends. This allows me to plan walks, drop-in visits, and quality time around your pet’s usual routine, giving them the care and attention they need while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. In your home, I’ll follow your care instructions and familiar routines for feeding, walks, and playtime. I’ll check that doors and gates are secure, use a leash on walks, and respect your space. You can expect photo updates, clear communication, and plenty of patient, loving attention while you’re away.
About: **Please understand we can only consider requests with completed profiles. Think of it like online dating for pets—we just want to make sure it’s a good match on both sides! We share our home with one large, lovable dog—who just so happens to be the ultimate dog sitter! He’s incredibly gentle and gets along wonderfully with dogs of all breeds and sizes. With experience fostering through the Humane Society, we’ve developed a deep love and understanding for pups of all kinds. Spoiling them with love, care, and attention is just what we do best! **Just a heads-up—we’d really appreciate it if you could choose drop-off and pick-up times that match your plans as closely as possible. It helps us keep things running smoothly! If pick-up is after 10 PM, we kindly ask that your pup stays an extra night to keep things calm and comfy for everyone.** I work from home, so I’m able to take quick walk or play breaks throughout the day. Whether your pup needs a little activity or just some quiet companionship, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. While we don’t have a fenced yard, we do have a cozy screened-in sun porch where our own pups love to lounge and keep an eye on the birds. If your dog prefers a crate, I’m happy to accommodate that. And if they’re more into the laid-back lifestyle, they’re welcome to relax on the couch or guest bed—whatever makes them feel at home!
About: We are a pet loving family of 4 with our good boy, Titus, and two kittens Nikko and Luna. We love to play with Titus outside in our backyard, teach him tricks and cuddle with him on the sofa. We keep our pets up to date on rabies vaccine and flea treatments. I was raised on a farm so I am very comfortable being around all sorts of animals. I have been sitting on Rover for over 5 years and I love it! I work full time at home and some travel. I am available all weekend for walks, drop-ins, boarding and sitting. During the weekdays I have flexibility with my schedule, contact me and we can discuss arrangements. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your pet(s). We can play with your furry friend outside or inside. We can go for walks around the neighborhood or in our woods. Tanglewood dog park is just a 15 minute drive from us where we can play and go on long walks. At your house we can go for walks, play catch, learn tricks, and cuddle.
“Definitely recommend Caleigh for a drop in visit! This was our first time doing Rover and as someone who was pretty nervous about it because at the end of the day you are trusting your pets/house to someone you have never met before, Caleigh gave us peace of mind when we first met. Definitely rebooking for our next trip. We have a recently diagnosed diabetic cat who needs insulin shots twice a day and it was no problem at all.”
About: I am a lifelong dog enthusiast. I have taken care of my own or others dogs since I began schooling. 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. Whether your pup is a couch potato or an adventure seeker, I'm happy to match their pace and provide the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Outside of my current work schedule from 8 am to 5:30 pm I am open to assisting with your pet care needs. My weekends are free all day for help. My jobs involves physical labor so however long your pet wants to play I have the energy to back it up. Whatever instructions you have I will follow them to the letter and be respectful of your home!

About: Ever since I was a kid, I've always loved animals. Whenever I could, I've always taken up a job where I can pet sit and take care of animals.

“I’m so happy I found Lauren! From the very beginning, she was punctual, reliable, communicative, and genuinely kind. She took wonderful care of my cat and followed all of her feeding instructions, but what meant the most to me was that she didn’t just stop in and do the basics. She took the time to play with her, give her attention, pets, and cuddles, and really made sure she felt comfortable and cared for. She kept me updated with pictures and texts, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. My cat likes her, feels comfortable with her, and I trust her completely—and honestly, that peace of mind is priceless when you’re leaving a pet you love in someone else’s care. She is a sweet and caring person, and I feel very fortunate to have found someone I can trust with my girl. I will absolutely be using her again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet.”
“Aubrey took wonderful care of my senior cat. She provided detailed updates every day and was available for phone calls. She brushed her and made sure she had her meds and special treats. She went above and beyond. It was a longer trip than I usually take, and it was reassuring to know my cat was being cared for so well.”

This was the first time we used Matthew and were impressed and will certainly request again. He was willing to do a meet and greet first, took notes and made sure he understood what was needed. We have 3 dogs and we needed 3 visits in one day to include feeding and medications. On day of visit, he interacted with each dog during each visit and provided detailed notes and photos about the visits and followed up with us afterwards also. We would recommend Matthew to anyone needing a pet sitter in area.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Advance is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,336 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Advance. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Advance. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
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.
