“Kelly is reliable and responds quickly. This is the second time she has cared for our cat while we were out of town. We will definitely use Kelly again if she is available!”
About: Between my own family and my wife's, I've had alot of experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I've house sat for elderly dogs and raised and trained our own puppy. I've rescued half a dozen lost dogs from our neighborhood. Every dog I meet gets lots of love and yours would be no exception! We already have our miniature poodle pup Winston, so your pup would fit right in with us! I am working from home the vast majority of the time and if I was gone, my wife would be there. As the kid who was always the first to notice when a dog needed to go out and do its business, I'm very attentive to the needs of all dogs. Your pup will be a part of our family during their stay and kept company by my whole family.
“Stephanie was wonderful! I felt very comfortable with her dropping in to care for my cat. I appreciate her detailed updates and photos from her visits. Stephanie will love your pets like their her own 😊”
About: I grew up with animals all throughout my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, and help my mom foster for Cocos Heart and other animal rescues. I’ve worked with many different dog breeds through my past job at PetSuites and through pet sitting. BACK FOR THE SUMMER!! I’m currently working part time at two jobs during the week but will be able to make check-ins in between shifts. The weekends I’m available anytime for check-ins or walks! I try to provide more than just the basic needs to my pets and any pet I care for. This includes feeding and medications, walking, playing, and hanging out with the pets to keep them company. I’m relatively active so I can take the pets for longer walks and runs if requested. I always put the pet first and make sure they feel safe and comfortable with my presence.
“Payton was great with my energetic pup! He is not the easiest dog to wear out and every time I got home he seemed content and happy with the attention she gave him. Will definitely book her again next time i need someone to check in on him.”
“Ashley was great with our 8 year old golden doodle. Responded quickly to our last minute booking request, came right over for a meet and greet and followed through by being fantastic with our dog for several drop in visits over a weekend. She came right on time and sent us plenty of pictures and video so we knew all was well. It was great knowing our fur baby was in good hands and that peace of mind allowed us to relax and enjoy our evenings without worry. We will definitely be booking Ashley again soon!”
“Valerie is so thorough & is teaching my dog great habits! She always leaves him treats and new toys & is thoughtful about what our puppy enjoys. You will not be disappointed hiring her!”
About: I’ve had family dogs my whole life and love to do things outdoors with my dogs. I have two dogs right now one old and one a puppy both with completely different personalities. I’m a student at the university of Nebraska so weekends and afternoons are when I’m most available. I don’t have many other commitments besides classes so I’m very available. I live in my family’s home in Minnesota during summer and breaks but live in apartment in Lincoln during the school year. Brining pets to my apartment wouldn’t work, so I would have to go to clients home.
“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: I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends because they know their pets will be loved and well cared for. I have experience with both small and large dogs and understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to feeding schedules, I provide dependable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. In the summer, I have a flexible schedule and can work my days around visiting and care sessions! September through May, I am able to provide care in the morning (before 7:00) and after 3:30. I keep pets comfortable by following their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and care. I provide plenty of love, attention, and exercise while respecting each pet’s unique personality. In your home, I treat your space with care and provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“I couldn't have asked for a better person to keep an eye on my cat while I was on vacation. Lauren was very great at communicating, sending pictures and going way above and beyond! I look forward to having her again in the future and would highly recommend her to others looking for a very trustworthy and knowledgeable pet sitter!”
“Vanessa is a true cat-lover and our cat was comfortable with her from the first time they met. She took excellent care of him while we were away on vacation, followed directions, and I would highly recommend her to other cat parents.”
About: I have to be honest, nothing really sets me apart from other sitters. I may not have all the experience, but I'm willing to learn because I wanna get 2 pets myself soon! I am working part-time right now, I am a full-time nursing student, and I usually love taking walks before or after a session. I'm always on the computer doing work, so what's stopping me from being a pet sitter as well? I do not have any pets at the moment. I previously mentioned that I wanted to get some pets myself (a Persian cat/Ragdoll and a cocker spaniel), so I'd love to learn more about them! I am a fast learner, so it won't take me long. I also like to ask questions.
“She was amazing with Beans. Love the daily pictures. Super thoughtful, brought in some packages that were left out in the rain for us. Very happy with the service.”
“Rachel did a fantastic job watching our cats while we were away. She went above and beyond their needs and was very prompt with communication! We will definitely book with her again.”
“I had a great experience with Tasha and knew our dog was in great, caring hands during drop in visits while we were away. I definitely recommend Tasha’s care and will be looking to book with her in the future!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Afton on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,066 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 Afton. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
