“Kelly did an incredible job taking care of our babies. We felt good leaving them in her hands. She sent the cutest pictures and was consistent with her check in times. We would use her again 100 times!”

About: Hello, I graduated from Grant Career Center’s veterinary science program in 2024 where I learned all about animal handling along with grooming and dog training. I personally love the older pups as I have a 18 year old Jack Russel myself. Im currently working part time at a doggy boarding facility but the hours just aren’t keeping me afloat. I need a side hustle and I refuse to do anything non animal related 💜 I have a huge fenced in yard for my 3 dogs (2 small 1 large), I also like to walk my cats outside so they can have time outside as well. I clean my cats 4 litter boxes twice a day (otherwise there’s issues).

“Mitch is the BEST! If you are debating who to use; use Mitch! He was able and willing to take over providing care for my dog last minute after the previous Rover sitter left my dog alone for over 24 hours. He made sure my dog was safe and given love and care. Mitch was a quick and clear communicator. Mitch sent me lots of pictures, videos and updates. Whole heartedly recommend Mitch!!”

“I was so grateful to Joanna! She went the extra mile to figure out how to get my cat in, so he could have some outdoor time (staying in causes a lot of problems). He always came right to her. She has the touch. She was consistent with her times, and communicated very well. She was patient with my quirks. I highly recommend Joanna.”

“Allie was amazing and I could not recommend her highly enough!! She took the best care of our 4 cats for 2 weeks while we were out of the country. One of our cats had recent major surgery and needs medications three times daily. She managed to give him his pills and oral liquid every day, which we ourselves sometimes struggle to get him to take! I was very nervous leaving him but was so reassured but how happy and comfortable he was with Allie. Our cats are all rescues and are very shy and nervous around new people, they often don't come out for a petsitter. All 4 of them came up to her for cuddles and were the most relaxed we've ever seen them with a new person. She clearly made a lot of effort spending time with them that they became so comfortable with her. Allie's communication was amazing and we came back to lovely clean litter trays and an emptied litter bin. We are so happy to have found someone that takes such great care of our fur babies!”

About: I am a very passionate, attentive, and empathetic person when it comes to any and all animals! For many years I have taken sole care of both dogs and cats of all different breeds, and am well experienced in all general pet care to include special needs pets. All of the dogs I ever had as a kid were trained as puppies almost solely by myself and my brothers. My mom used to make me read books and do online research about the breed of dog we had, different training techniques, K9 first-aid, and so much more. Being as passionate as I am about animals, those studies were well retained, and while I don't have professional experience, the knowledge gained from doing it on my own with 9 different dogs over my lifetime have graced me with at the very least, an in depth knowledge of all different stages of dog ownership. This knowledge was also accentuated professionally as I worked alongside military police K9 handlers during my time in the Air Force. Not to worry though, I mix structure, routine, and discipline with plenty of tender loving care, and know how to tune my approach to dogs of all temperaments. In regards to puppies: I have experience potty training, leash training, crate training, and what I would call experienced but moderate obedience training skills. I know how to deal with things like food aggression, how to properly establish the "hierarchy" or "pack mentality" and other conditioning behaviors. As well as handling young puppies, I've even assisted a momma in giving birth to a new litter, and taking special care of a brand new litter of 7 pups! So my experience with all dogs truly does begin at birth and goes all the way to end of life care. For the old timers: The couch potatoes in our lives need just as much, and sometimes even more care than their energetic and young counterparts. I have experience with things like giving medication and shots, managing specialty diets, and a number of other age specific needs. I'm very patient and am willing to take the time to get to know your pet and what they need. Every animal has a different personality and needs attention in different ways, and I'm very attentive to that! I will always treat your pet as if they were my own, and will to the best of my ability make sure that your pet is well taken care of at all times. I'm a full-time nomad and side gigs are my primary source of income. Pet care IS my weekly routine. I'm available and more than happy to abide by the normal 9-5 schedule for daytime pet care, but I can also easily adjust to fit any alternate schedule; whether you need overnight pet care, or any other odd schedule constraints met, I am available. I have lived with my own dog in a variety of different conditions. From being on our own in both houses and apartments, to having a full house of dogs and cats. I am well versed in any additional responsibilities and special care based on living situations, and have no trouble go up and down a few flights of stairs for potty breaks/walks, etc.

About: My last pet was a 16 year old miniature schnauzer who passed in December 2024. Since then I have been caring for dogs and cats of family & friends and traveling around the country using Trusted Housesitters. I have cared for German Shepherds and Bengal cats in New Orleans, an elderly dog in Charleston, and multiple rescue cats in Virgina Beach. In Denver, I covered a dog walking business for 3 weeks walking labs, collies, poodle mixes, dachshunds and house sitting up to 5 dogs at a time. Now when I'm back home in the Cincy area, I like to help others care for their dogs and cats. My schedule allows for me to change my routine as needed. I understand pets have routine and may need to be on a regular schedule. I can care for your pets in your home by following their routines, entertaining and playing with them, and giving them love and attention. I am not able to care for pets in my home at this time.

About: I have always had pets growing up when I was younger and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in pet care is caring for my own pets and caring for family, friends and I also have volunteered at shelters as well. My husband and I only have one dog. She is a GoldenDoodle/Labradoodle but we get her cut like a standard doodle and she is our world. I love training/exercising with her everyday and she pushes me to be the best that I can be. With our fur baby she gets a long walk in the morning, breakfast and lots of lovings. I do work a full time job in healthcare during the week Monday- Friday 8:00-4:30pm but I’m fully open on weekends. When I come home she gets a long walk, lots of play time outside, dinner and after dinner we take a long walk. I’m very cautious in all of my surroundings. Making sure every dog is securely leashed and properly walked or if you do have a fence I will follow any rules that abide.

About: If your pet could choose their own sitter, I’d like to think we’d be friends. 🐾✨ Leaving your pet behind can be stressful, but my goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for while you’re away. As a pet owner myself, I currently share my home with three cats and an energetic Lab/Boxer puppy. I have over two years of foster experience and have cared for up to 13 cats at once, giving me hands-on experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and temperaments. I also volunteer walking shelter dogs, giving me experience with dogs of all temperaments, sizes, and backgrounds. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, patience, and love. I believe every pet deserves personalized care, and I’ll take the time to get to know their routine, quirks, and preferences. Whether your pet loves constant attention or prefers their own space, I’ll provide care that makes them feel safe and comfortable. I specialize in: ✅ Drop-in Visits: Every 30 minute visit includes a photo update, fresh water, potty break, playtime, and a full report card. Not just a quick hello! ✅ House Sitting: I provide daytime check-ins every 4–6 hours for meals, potty breaks, and playtime, plus overnight companionship so your pet never feels alone in their own home. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates throughout my stay so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. ✅ 30 minute Dog Walks: a fun stroll around your neighborhood or nearby trail with a mid-walk photo update and enough exercise and mental stimulation to keep your pup happy all day. ✅ Medication administration ✅ Feeding routines ✅ Litter box care ✅ Senior pets ✅ Shy or anxious pets ✅ Puppies & high-energy dogs New to Rover, not new to pets —building my reviews one happy pup & cat at a time. 🐾 Pet care isn’t something I fit around my day , it is my day. As a stay at home sitter with a fully flexible schedule, I’m available seven days a week, mornings through evenings, with no rushing off to a separate job in between. This means your pet isn’t waiting hours for their next check-in or walk. I can accommodate early morning drop-ins, midday visits, evening walks, and last minute requests without it being a disruption to my routine. For house sitting, being home-based means your pet gets consistent, attentive company throughout the entire stay not just the hours before and after a 9 to 5. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. Since I offer in-home visits, walks, and overnight stays in your home, your pet remains in their familiar environment, which helps reduce stress and keeps their daily routine consistent. I take time to understand each pet’s specific needs, including feeding schedules, medication instructions, behavior preferences, and any household rules. I also make sure doors, gates, and entry points are handled carefully and responsibly at all times. During every visit or overnight stay, I maintain a calm and attentive presence so your pet feels secure and cared for. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you always know how things are going while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Afton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Afton is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $7 and $28 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 2,151 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Afton. 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 Afton. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 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.
