About: While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been caring for pets for friends and family for the past four years, in addition to caring for my own pets throughout my life. My previous dog, a Yorkie, gave me experience caring for a senior pet, including administering eye drops, following medication schedules, and managing a special diet. My current dog, Bella, is a 10-month-old AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy graduate who has taught me plenty about keeping up with energetic young dogs! I also share my home with two friendly, affectionate senior cats, so I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages and temperaments. I work Sunday through Wednesday, so my Thursdays through Saturdays are completely dedicated to your pup! My black Labrador, Bella, and I typically walk 1–2 miles three times a day. On hotter days, we switch to indoor enrichment and training games instead of long walks. Whether your dog loves an adventure or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to tailor their stay to their individual needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I only accept dogs that are a good fit for my home and Bella, and I always recommend a meet-and-greet beforehand. Whether I’m boarding, dropping in for a visit, or taking your pup on a walk, I’ll follow their normal routine and tailor my care to their energy level and needs. I’ll also keep you updated with photos so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.

About: I am a former dog owner who's trained a few dogs. I will treat the dog like my own! I understand the importance of routine, exercise, and cuddles! I work full time. Mostly from home. My significant other has an alternative schedule so the dog would be under 24 hour supervision. I can't wait to have a buddy with me throughout the day! I understand how anxious your paw partner may be while you are away -- I am here to console your paw partner until you are back 💕 I live in a single home with a large fenced backyard with a pool they can play in! Great parks and trails nearby. Dogs will have freedom in all rooms of the home. Dog will be supervised 20-24 hours a day. This helps me ensure pet safety and quick turnaround on any changes to health and/or behaviors.

About: I’ve had about 5 years of personal experience taking care of doggies from puppies to full grown dogs! Ive also helped take care of my bestfriends dog while she was out of town, feeding her, loving on her, playing with her, going on walks! Im looking forward to creating a bond with your furbabies and taking great care of them :) Im unemployed at the moment so I have lots of free time during the day in between the hours of 10am-4pm. Id love to be able to assist in anyway I can to help take care of your pets, whether it be just a little check up, playtime, walking, or refilling water bowls while youre away at work. I love giving time and love to my aunts dogs they are hounds. From going on walks to playing inside with a good toy or even just interacting with them outside and allowing them to run around to get their energy out. Physical activity is very important for dogs health as it is for humans so combining the 2 is definitely something I look forward to. Both getting in good exercise and not being stuck in the house all day! Adventure awaits !

About: I love dogs more than humans! I was a dog trainer for a short time and worked at a veterinary office as kennel assistant. I also volunteer at a local shelter. I am currently a virtual case manager for a foster base rescue, going on three years. I’ve dog sat for multiple people and friends with going to their house, for walks or visits. If I were to come to you, i would let the dog out in the yard or for a walk and give plenty of pet loving and any additional notes you have for me! I will not take a dog to a dog park for safety reasons. I will do everything in my power to take care of your dog, just as I would want someone to take care of my dog. I am available at different times of the week. I am typically home but I am on call every day. I am trying to make this a part to full time gig so please be patient as I am currently changing my life around. Send me a message if you need someone and we can chat! My schedule is all over the place and i’m currently on call 5 days a week. I am trying to get enough clients where I can make a set schedule at work or make this a job. I accept fenced in years, dog walking in yard, or dog walking in the neighborhood. I prefer no dog parks unless it’s an apartment small dog park with not much traffic, just for safety reasons.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 11 and I have taken care of a bunch of different animals in that time. I’m currently unemployed looking for jobs so I’m all free! I will be available pretty often. I will be doing online school around October and will be asynchronous and online. I am available very often. I can stick to pet routines and any medication and dietary needs. I would sometimes be accompanied by my boyfriend who can be an extra eye.

We had such a great experience! She came over ahead of time to meet Duke, Winnie, and Green Bean, and immediately made us feel comfortable leaving them in her care. She was so kind, patient, and attentive with all three of our dogs and treated them like they were her own. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and takes the responsibility seriously. We felt completely at ease knowing our pups were being well cared for. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Afton on Rover is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $30 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 2,381 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

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 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 .

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
  • 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.

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.
