About: Hi! I’m Abby 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover and would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members while you’re away! I have 3 years of experience caring for all kinds of cats and dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic pups who need a good walk and playtime to laid-back dogs and cats who just want some company and cuddles. I’m experienced with walking, feeding, giving pets attention, and keeping them on their normal routines. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust, so I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m responsible, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’m also happy to send plenty of updates and pictures while you’re away so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well cared for! Whether your pet needs a walk, a meal, some playtime, or simply a little extra love and attention, I’d be happy to help. I’d love to meet you and your pets and become someone you can count on whenever they need care! 🐶🐱❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine! I enjoy spending my free time with animals, whether that means going for a walk, stopping by for a visit, playing with a kitty, or giving a pet some extra attention and cuddles. I’m able to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, meals, and care they need. I’m dependable and flexible, and I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. 🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep them as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away. I follow their normal routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any other instructions you provide. I know pets can feel more comfortable in their familiar environment, so I give them plenty of attention and companionship while allowing them to stay in the space they know and love. I’m respectful of your home and will always leave things clean and just as I found them. I’m also happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for! 🐾❤️

This was our first time using the Rover app, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Makayla was absolutely wonderful—super sweet and thorough when she came to meet our cat and go over all of the instructions. While we were away, she checked in every day with thoughtful notes and the cutest photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even brought in some packages that were delivered, which was such a nice extra touch. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and we’ll definitely be booking her again. We’re already planning to have her help with dog walking, too. Highly recommend!

About: My family has had a dog that I’ve loved to take care of and spend time with since I was 8. Also I would take care of my family’s dog since friends’ dog whenever they were out of town as a kid. I’m currently back for the summer from college so I have lots of time to take care of pets both overnight and during the day. I won’t be able to take pets into my home but can go to the owners house night or day. If for any reason you don’t have a leash or dog treats or something along those lines I’ll be able to bring it.

Patricia did a great job with Hank - he’s quite discerning about his visitors and warmed to them which says a lot! I would rehire Patricia in a minute- you’d be lucky to book them.

About: I've had pets (dogs of all sizes, cats, fish) since I was 7. I currently have a dog of my own. I've trained her. I am always happy to watch, play, feed, bathe, and walk dogs. I am a stay-at-home dog owner, which means taking care of your dog is my main priority! Doggy day care and boarding is always available. I usually accept all dogs. I only refuse service if the dog has previously bit me and/or continued aggression. I have one very friendly female dog (spayed) who loves to make new friends and spend time with old ones. I keep dogs typically in the living area, uncaged. I only cage dogs if the owner requests it, and in a different room from the other dogs. I do have another helper (my fiance), as he also enjoys dogs very much. My walking route is usually around Glen Park, I change it up as needed to boost the adventure for your dog(s). **Water will ALWAYS be available and replenished for your dog(s). Food schedule based.**

About: After 5 years working hands-on at two separate professional daycare and boarding facilities, I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes (from Chihuahuas to Great Danes), temperaments, and energy levels. I am comfortable with everything from high-energy puppies to gentle senior dogs. I am a senior in college studying companion animals, which gives me a deep, science-backed understanding of canine body language, behavior, and welfare. Whether your pup is an active breed needing a fast-paced walk, a shy rescue needing patient care, or a large breed requiring confident handling, I know how to keep them safe, happy, and calm. I bring facility-level safety standards, reliable routines, and absolute dedication straight to your home. I am currently working part-time during the summer, so my schedule varies. This allows me to be highly flexible and available for midday walks and in-home pet sitting! I am dedicated to keeping your dog's daily schedule intact by providing reliable bathroom breaks, feedings, structured exercise, and plenty of focused attention and cuddles. With my extensive experience working with dogs, I bring professional level safety standards straight into your home. I am trained in reading subtle canine body language, managing environmental triggers on walks, and keeping environments secure and happy for your pup. Your home will be treated with absolute respect, your dog will receive attentive care, structured routines, and plenty of love, and you will receive frequent updates to give you complete peace of mind.

About: I’ve grown up caring for and pet sitting all kinds of animals, and I’ve been trusted by many family members and neighbors to take care of their pets. I absolutely love animals and enjoy spending time with them! I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets. I’d love the opportunity to give your pets plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away!

My weekends are also completely free, giving me plenty of flexibility to spend time with and care for pets. I always want pets to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I’m happy to follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I’ll also make sure to keep their space clean and tidy and follow any specific instructions or preferences their owner provides.

About: My lifelong passion for animals began on our family’s organic dairy farm in Menomonie, Wisconsin, where I learned the dedication required to care for animals of all sizes. Over the years, we have opened our hearts and home to our friends' pets, gaining extensive hands-on experience with everything from energetic dogs to gentle bunnies. As a homeschool family, someone is almost always home to provide continuous love, attention, and structured care. We spend plenty of time outside so your pet will have lots of opportunities to exercise and spend time in the sun. Your pet will enjoy full access to our house and a large, securely fenced yard perfect for safe outdoor exploration. Located in a peaceful, dog-friendly neighborhood, we offer a warm, reliable, and attentive home-away-from-home where your pet will be treated like family.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Afton on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,904 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Afton. 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 Afton 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 Afton 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 Afton 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 Afton. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
