“Our first experience with Rover couldn’t have been better thanks to Gabriel! During his drop-in visits, he didn’t just feed and check on our cats gently cared for them, even though it was tricky locating them since this was new for them too. His updates were thorough and reassuring, and he was professional and easy to connect with. Will absolutely be reaching out to Gabriel again-highly recommend!!”
About: I am an absolute lover of all dogs! All breeds, sizes, backgrounds and personalities. They make me truly very happy and I want to do the same for them. I have 17 years experience caring for and walking dogs. I have had dogs my whole life.. I rescued my dog Lucy when she was a puppy. She was the sweetest dog and my best friend - my shadow. Please contact me for pet portrait inquiries. I work from home as a fine art painter so my schedule is very open and flexible. I have an SUV so I can bring your dog to the park and any of their favorite spots. There is nothing I wouldn't do for your dog! They will love their time with me and will always be given the very best care. I live in nature on one acre!
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.
“Katrina did an amazing job at taking care of our kitty and sending us pictures to know she was okay! I would 100% recommend her to anyone and definitely reach out to her again for future needs!”
“Rebekah was great! She had her hands full with all my cats and did a wonderful job caring for them and cleaning up after them. She spent a lot of time with them playing and giving them some attention. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”
About: I’ve had experience petsitting since 2018 for my parents petsitting business. I am wanting to branch out and gain my own clients and business. I have two children, a three year old and a one year old. I also have two girl dogs and a bird (cockatiel) as well. A 6 month old chow chow and 1.5 year old golden retriever. Our house is never quiet. Haha I have a pretty open availability right now. Coming back to work after a little bit longer of a maternity leave. I would love to take care of and play with your furbabies. Pretty easy going. Whatever needs to happen will happen. Ensure all doors are locked prior to leaving premises. Ensure area is clean and safe for pets if not crated while away.
“We first used Megan on a Saturday when we were gonna be gone all day. The last 2 times I've needed her very last minute due to family circumstances that required me to be out of town. She has found a way to work me in and I appreciate it so much :). She always lets me know when she arrives and leaves and sends pictures. I'm glad I found her!”
“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: 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: Hi my name is Elizabeth but everyone calls me Lily and I’m 26! I currently do rover as a part time job! I treat every pet like it’s my own and my pup is easy to get along with! Her names Stella and she’s a husky border collie mix. We love going on hikes and love having plenty of play time! My full time job involves taking care of animals so animals are my passion. I love going on a walk with my dog at the park and would love to have your pup(s) join us! When a pet stays in my home I treat it as my own. I give it just as much attention and love as I do my own pets!
About: I’ve grew up having animals. From cats to dogs to some small pets. I can feed, bathe, or take them for a walk if need be. I currently work full time from 8am-4:30pm. Very flexible after I get off. I’m off on Saturdays and Sundays. I try to be as flexible as I can be :) I’m willing to take your dogs in the yard or walk them down the street if needed. If you prefer to crate your pet when you are not home I can do that as well. I'm comfortable with taking care of cats as well as reptiles. If they love hikes as well I would love to take them on one!
About: This will be my first experience of pet care. I have a passion for treating pets with the care they deserve and give them lots of love. I will treat them as if they were my own. This would be an exciting experience to meet and take care of all different breeds of pets. I am curious of how other breeds act as I, myself have two chihuahuas and a french bulldog that are completely separate from each other. I would love nothing more than to help take care of other people's pets while also enjoying the time of playing and caring for the pet itself. I am care-free and easy going. If you ever needed more time for me to watch the pet, I would be more than happy to do so. I work full time but i’m an early bird and have all evenings free! I like to be active and go on walks anyways and it will be lovely to do it with a furry friend! I do not care for pets inside my own home but in a client home, I will do anything necessary for the pet under owners orders! I work best with a schedule.
About: I love all dog breeds and if your senior needs time or extra attention I’ll be there and if a puppy needs extra potty breaks let me know maybe you have a spicy cat I will take my time I pet sit for my friends and do dog train for them but I will be scheduling that around the hours for my Rover account I follow all directions and if I even have a minor question I don’t try to figure it out by myself and make a mistake I’ll make sure I get your permission
“Morgan is so helpful with visiting our cat, I really appreciate her attention and care for details during her visits. We’re glad our cat has a new friend in the area!”
About: I have worked in the Veterinarian field for over 67 years. I love working with animals outside of work as well. I can assure you when your pet is with me, I will treat them as one of my own. If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a message :) prices can be modified. I currently work Monday Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. On Tuesdays I get off early. I will only take clients close to the area so that I will have enough time to drop in during luches I have been a Veterinary Assistant for over 7 years. I will show love and treat your pets as my very own. I absolutely love spoiling my clients!
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 always researching about dogs, cats, and other pets to keep my knowledge up to date. I've even taken care of stray and hurt cats, rehoming them. Currently available to take care of any pet at any time 24/7. Need to find your sitter that day? I'm the one to reach out to. I'll follow any instruction that is needed of me from the client. I'll make sure to give your pet plenty of love and all the care that is needed.
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Advance
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.
