About: I currently work from home and love an excuse to get out of the house and/or go for a walk. I’m an experienced pet owner and animal lover. I have raised two puppies and previously had a senior pitbull. I grew up with dogs, cats, and a variety of pets, and I have dog sat for many friends as well over the years. I’m comfortable with all dogs and cats. I currently work from home and am available to drop in whenever you might need (morning, afternoon, evening). I get up with my dogs and take them for walks then play and do some mental stimulation games - I’m more than happy to do these with your fur babies as well. I also have a doggie door and fenced in yard at home, so dogs are free to run in and out to their hearts content. I have had both large and small dogs and am comfortable walking any size on a leash. I love getting on the ground and playing with my girls, so I am happy to meet your fur babies where they are and engage them in whatever way they prefer.
“Kyle was amazing, he took my pup on walks almost daily, he did the dishes from my dogs meal prep containers and swept of the kitchen floor. I would 100% recommend him and I will use him again for any future travels. He also took pictures everyday for me.”
“I don’t even know where to begin. Tarryn is an absolute gem and our fur babies ADORE her! Communication is quick and concise. She sent a picture when our doggo got settled into her home and little updates throughout their time together. Our doggo is a big love bug and she embraced that entirely! She checked on our home and our kitties too. I had complete peace leaving her in charge of our fur babies and home while we were away and I will not hesitate to contact her again and again! 100/10 recommend!”
About: I volunteer and foster with Black Dog Animal Rescue, including cat care and dog walking. I am able to give insulin shots and medications. I can also take care of birds. I have worked with animal rescues most of my life and have patience and understanding of animals boundaries. I have a fairly flexible schedule and can work with you about visits and/or walks. I do work weekend evenings, but most Sundays and weekdays I am available at your disposal! I will work with you to understand your routines and preferences to make sure your pet is comfortable with me and accommodate anything your pet needs
About: Dogs are my favorite! As a dedicated dog sitter, I prioritize each pup’s safety and happiness, providing love, exercise, and companionship! Your furry friend is always in great hands with me! Pet care fits into my schedule, I prioritize short daily walks, quick play sessions, and regular feeding times, ensuring your pet stays happy and healthy. Based on the client, I will maintain routines, provide regular feeding, ensure safety, and keep the environment clean and comfortable. Your dog will be in good hands!
“Lauren was terrific! Took on caring for my 3 dogs at the last minute over holiday weekend. Stepped in without missing a beat in their daily routine. Love the daily updates/pictures. thanks Lauren”
“Richard did a wonderful job on the drop-in visits. He proved himself to be a real neighbor, spending time with my senior dogs and making sure they eat their meals. When thunderstorms came through, knowing how jittery they get, he made sure they were safe and in the house until the storms blew through. Thank you, Richard! You helped out in so many ways, all the reviews I’ve read about you were all true! Looking forward to letting you take care of my girls the next time!”
About: I’m a very loving person and have a big heart for animals. I’ll always follow any instructions you leave to make sure your pet gets the best care possible, whether that means giving medication at a specific time, sticking to a certain walking schedule, or changing the litter box daily. Other than that, your pet can expect plenty of cuddles, on-time meals, lots of love, and most importantly, an excessive amount of pictures and updates! 🐾❤️ I’m currently spending most of my days at home, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m available to take your dogs on long walks in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. My son has basketball practice from 3:30–5:30 PM, but aside from that, I’m usually home and have plenty of time to give your pups lots of attention, exercise, and love! I am attentive and aware of my surroundings at all times. I will keep a watchful eye on your pet, and only let them off a leash when appropriate (at a dog park, etc.). You are welcome to call/face time me at any time when I am with your pet.
“Kamryn was outstanding and provided excellent care for Will, our cat. To best illustrate how amazing Kamryn was with Will, I will explain a couple things about Will. First, Will is very shy but also needy. Therefore, though it doesn't always appear so to an outside observer, he truly thrives on human interaction despite his shyness. He can actually get physically ill during our absences due to the change in - or sometimes lack of - human contact and socialization. Secondly, he is getting older, becoming somewhat of a senior kitty, and as such needs just a little extra care and attention from that perspective. Thus, one of the things we value most in a pet sitter is communication, and Kamryn truly excelled in this area. Given the two "Will traits" listed above, we particularly value communication, so (a) we can receive the per-visit updates (Rover cards) to get a concrete sense of his (hopeful) human interaction since he needs it so much, and (b) we can feel at ease that he is doing okay health-wise in our absence given that he is becoming a senior kitty. Kamryn provided amazing updates during each of her visits, so her communication was truly second to none and gave us peace of mind that he was getting both socialization and top-notch care. She always did the Rover cards, and was super quick in the back-and-forth messaging within Rover. Kamryn was not just communicative but extremely reliable - she always came on time for the full duration, and always processed the Rover cards. The second area where Kamryn was extraordinary was the socialization with Will - not simply from a communication aspect, but from the actual real and impactful interactions she had with Will. We have had a number of pet sitters through the years for Will, and frankly Kamryn did the best job ever at getting to know Will and getting him past his shyness. Usually, Will hides from people he doesn't know, and they don't ever get to know how much of a sweetheart he really is. With Kamryn, Will's tail was straight up in greeting when she would arrive, he led her around the house, and he let her pet him and scratch him all over - all unprecedented. In short, Will absolutely adored Kamryn. That has never happened with a "stranger" in all of his twelve years. In just a few short days, Will decided Kamryn was definitely not a stranger and it's clear that he wants to see her again! To have that type of skill with animals is truly talented and magical, and Kamryn has it in spades. We cannot recommend her enough!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Altvan is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $22 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 109 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Altvan. 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 Altvan. On Rover:
- 92% 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 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.
