About: I've had animal experience as long as I can remember. I've had a ton of pets growing up, from ferrets, to fish, to cats, and of course dogs. I had to take care of all of them and all of the responsibilities in taking care of a pet. Animals make me a happier and better person. One day I plan on owning and operating my own pet day care, where you can bring any animal you'd like and myself and my crew will take care of them Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I do is take care of my pet; I let my dogs out and I feed them. They go out multiple times a day and get fed twice a day. I will provide your pet with as much outside time as needed. If you have a crate and they consider their crate as their safe space, I will be more than happy to set it up in my home.

“Megan did such a phenomenal job cat-sitting for us. We have three VERY high maintenance furballs. It was clear Megan took time to play and cuddle them daily. We plan to only hire Meghan in future if possible. Very trustworthy.”

About: I’m not just a dog sitter — I genuinely love spending time with dogs and getting to know their unique personalities. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or just keeping them company, I treat every pup like they’re my own. You can count on me to give your dog the care, attention, and love they deserve while you’re away I am currently working part time so I am available whenever is needed! I am a college student and have classes online so it’ll be nice to take some time away from work and school to be with your furry friend! Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m coming to you, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. At my home, they’ll have a cozy, clean space, plenty of playtime, and a calm environment — just like home. If I’m caring for them at your place, I stick to their routine as closely as possible, from walks and feedings to their favorite toys or spots to relax. I always make sure they get lots of attention and care, and I keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy!

About: My whole life I’ve had multiple pets in the home, growing up I had 3 cats and 2 dogs. I currently have a puppy and a cat, I raised the puppy from 4 weeks old to 8 months old. I have experience fostering all kinds of pets especially cats. My career as a pet groomer is centered around dogs and their behaviors, so I have ample experience with all different breeds and behaviors. I work full time as a pet groomer so I’m constantly around pets! I currently have a 8 month old Chihuahua mix and a 1 year old tabby cat and absolutely adore having them around. I’m off all day Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays and would be available all day! I would be able to help out after 6:30 the rest of the weekdays! I will make sure your pet is in their own comfortable environment and follows their regular routine! I have both of my pets on a schedule for eating, exercise, play time and sleeping. All pets need stimulation and companionship, so I prefer to play with your pet for a while and keep them company for as long as you need. I’m not just there to feed the pet, but also provide your pet with comfort and care while making sure they’re getting enough mental stimulation!

About: I have a lot of experience with taking care of different kinds of pets for as long as I can remember. I have a deep love and care for animals of all sizes and breeds. During my last two years of high school I under took courses of veterinary science and pet care so I learned many skills when it comes to caring and helping pets. I currently own one husky out of 5 huskies and 1 Boston terrier that me and my family have. I have learned so much about dogs throughout my years with them and love them dearly. I have also taken care of kittens and cats during my years of school and when asked to babysit or groom them from neighbors or family members. My world revolves around animals due to my deep care for them and my career choice. I make time for my pet needs and make sure they live a spoiled life. I understand the worry of any pet parent would have so I would be very open and willing to do anything they ask of me to care for their loved one. I too would want nothing but the best for my pet and I’m more than confident I can provide that for any pet parent!

About: Hi! I have had dogs since I was born. Older, younger, smaller, larger, much larger. I have been dog watching since around age 14 or so. I currently have one chiweenie (13), my sweet baby, whom I had to leave for a bit because of schooling, though I tend to her weekly. I also volunteer at a nearby animal shelter to help out the understaffed staff with all of their animals as well! I am currently working part-time as of now, but I will be very open as soon as I begin to gain a clientele! Message me or request times, and I will be very happy to come sit your pups! I will mostly be offering client home sittings, as my home is on a non-fenced, multi-acre piece of land. Safety for your pup is very important to me, so we might take a trip to a nearby dog park if they are residing with me for an allotted time.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, including my own dogs and cats. I’ve also pet-sat for friends several times, so I’m comfortable with different routines, temperaments, and needs. I’m available for drop-ins anytime throughout the entire week and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and preferred visit times. I’m also very flexible with house sitting and can accommodate different schedules and care needs. During drop ins, I provide plenty of attention and companionship, fresh food and water, potty breaks, walks if requested, playtime, and lots of love and cuddles! I’m also happy to bring in packages/mail, water plants, or take care of other small tasks around the home while I’m there. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away In my home or yours, I focus on making pets feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you have. I give plenty of attention, keep things clean, and always make sure they feel safe and loved.

About: I've had over 20 years of pet care experience, ranging between several different dog breeds and sizes, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even some bird-sitting. I understand each pet is different in their own way, some needing certain medications or volumes of food and water, and other pets are easier to take care of, but their owners need someone last minute to help watch and take care of their beloved pets. I also know when it comes to more than one pet in the household, some pets can get rowdy with each other and may tend to hurt one other, so I'm used to cleaning up after and treating the occasional bites or scratches they inflict. Having to give medications, give special food, and even seeing blood or recent wounds on animals doesn't stop me from providing the care they need while their owners are away at work or vacation or whatever else life has thrown their way. I've been known to be a reliable petsitter by many friends and family members over the years, and I make sure to follow all needs and specifications for each pet, regardless of their age and their size. At the moment, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and then on Mondays and Wednesdays I am attending a class from 9:30 AM to 12:30 AM, which anytime before or afterwards I can help walk or watch over pets. While I do not currently offer petsitting at my own home due to my roommates, I understand that every owner's household and every pet is different. I make sure that each of the doors and windows are closed and locked for the pet's safety, unless otherwise specified by the owners. If there are certain rooms or parts of the house off-limits to myself or the pets, I keep us away from those areas for the owner's privacy. And if the pets do tend to make a mess or I use any of the utilities of the home to help clean and take care of the pets, I make sure that everything is turned off and cleaned up afterwards so there are no messes for the owners when they return to their home and beloved pets.

About: I've had a Yorkie Terrier Mix (Tico) since I was about eight years old and would consistently take care of him while home. My tasks consist of frequent walks to ensure fitness, meals twice a day, a snack or two if he's being good, and making sure he looks handsome and is clean. I would also frequently take care of local friends pets and homes while away on vacation! I grew up taking of my dog Tico since I was about 8 years old and have taken up that responsibility since then! Ever since moving away I’ve missed getting to spend time with furbabies! If hired for services, I will ensure that I will take care of your home and pet as I would mine. I know as a furry friend lover myself, I want to make sure my pet is not only safe but happy while being taken care of.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Akins

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 502 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Akins. 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 Akins. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.

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.
