“Kaylah was wonderful with our Great Dane during our day trip. She was very accommodating and eager to enjoy her time with our big baby. She sent updates and wonderful pictures. At no point were we not confident that Ellie was in great hands.”
About: Hi there! I have worked in a veterinary kennel, a daycare/boarding center, completed a PennVet program, and volunteered at the SPCA for years. For what it’s worth, I also risked my life saving a client’s dog from vicious street dogs. At this point I can pretty much handle anything. Let me walk your doggies! I love them all. I am a professor and only teach classes Monday and Wednesday, so I’ve got a lot of free time on my hands, barring random appointments and engagements. We can communicate to make something work. I am very respectful and caring towards others’ animals, spaces and belongings, and would love the opportunity to take care of your pet in your home so that both of you have the least anxiety possible.
About: Hello, my name is Amanda! I grew up around all different types of animals ranging from dogs and cats to birds as my whole family are huge animal lovers! I even helped at a doggy daycare that my family owned some time ago.I originally started dog sitting for my family and friends and decided to branch out to help other animal lovers which brought me here on Rover! I currently 2 dogs.My dog Sadie as well as my dog other dog Libby,who are my world! I recently lost my other dog Gunner,who had doggie dementia so I have experience caring for older dogs that have special needs. When they're here ,your dogs will be treated just as how I treat my own , with lots of love and care. I have a 6 foot fenced-in yard as well as a doggie door so your dogs can go outside .I also walk my dogs everyday and would love to bring yours along if allowed . I eventually plan on going for my nursing degree later next year but am currently home most days.I currently work part-time as a home health aide 4 days a week for 4-6 hours each shift. My dad is with me for part of the year from winter to early spring . I have some experience in handling special requirements/and or medications as one of my own dogs had special needs and requires daily medication for her skin allergies . I also offer house sitting, drop ins and am able to do whatever is required to make sure everyone is taken care of and happy!
About: I have had cats and dogs as pets my whole life. I have also been there for friends, family and neighbors when they need a pet sitter. I currently look after both of my parents dogs while they are at work. Looking to do the same for others I currently have an open schedule and generally flexible on what hours I can work. Please let me know how I can help you and care for your pets! I understand animals have their territory and also enjoy when you respect their personal space. Making sure an animal trusts me is important to me.
“Absolutely awesome. Last minute request due to an emergency, he stepped up and bailed us out. Great with the dogs! Thank you so much for the last minute communication and assistance.”
“Alison & Robert did an amazing job! They are very attentive and caring, they took care of our cat like it’s their own pet and went above and beyond. They spent quality time with our cat, and they even taught him shake and high five! Best cat sitter experience we ever had!”
About: I absolutely love taking care of pets! Regardless of age or energy level, they will be in great hands with me. I have taken care of my cat Garbanzo since she was 6 months old and she is now almost 4! We are absolute best friends and seeing her everyday is such a joy. I also grew up with dogs of varying from small a shih tzuI to a great dane then to pitbull mixes. I have taken care of friends and families pets while they were away and it’s always something I've looked forward to. I love sending pet pictures to their owners to show they are well loved while away, and am communicative if I have any questions or concerns! I want to provide the care for your pet that I would want for mine. I currently have an open schedule while in between jobs. This means daily check-ins even a couple time per day will work for me. My calendar will be updated as that changes. I will follow instructions provided to me by the owner to ensure proper care as all pets require something different. If I have any questions I will be sure to reach out to the owner. I want the owner to feel comfortable knowing I will follow what they want for their pet.
“This was our second time booking Marisol and we are so glad she was available. Marisol is reliable, detail-oriented, and patient with our cats who can be shy and finicky. Her reports are always thorough, and the photo and video updates give us such peace of mind knowing our girls are well cared for. Your pets will be lucky to have Marisol to care for them!”
“Juliette was amazing again for both of our dogs while we were working/ away. We trust her as she takes great care of them and great care of our house! Would definitely recommend Juliette to anyone!”
“You can rely on Courtney to take great care of your family's pets while you are away! She provided updates and cute photos, and our cats made friends quickly with her! Thank you, Courtney, for the last minute booking. We will definitely use you again!!!”
About: Since I was born I was surrounded by dogs. I moved to the Syracuse and my dogs stayed home so I have a lot of attention to give Half of the week I work from home so I can be with the dog. We’ll have lots of play time. The dog will not miss you. Just kidding! But I will me give my heart out. I know how it is to trust someone else with your fur baby, so I’ll do everything I can to make everyone feel safe. I live in an apartment. We’ll go for walks in downtown or a park. Every recommendation taken (food, medicine , toys , etc) just let me know
“Crystal was awesome! Helio is very shy and she was only able to see him when she came to get the key. So instead of play pictures Crystal took pictures of his food for us. I'm hoping after a few trips he will be curious enough to come out when he hears her. In time I'm sure they will be buddies ?”
“Alyssa swooped in and saved the day when an unanticipated emergency landed me in the hospital. The stress of who would look in on my beloved dog while I was gone was more stressful than my own well being. Alyssa stepped right up, made time immediately for a quick introduction which left me completely relaxed, knowing that my Pep would be in good hands during my absence. Absolutely recommend. 5 Star”
About: Growing up without a dog of my own due to my father’s allergies, I’ve always poured extra love and attention into every dog I get the chance to watch. Whether it’s neighbors, friends, or family, I treat every pup like they’re mine. I’m a retired Division I athlete, so keeping up with energetic dogs long walks, runs, fetch sessions, or active play is something I genuinely enjoy. I also work professionally in the pet industry for the company behind Chuckit! balls and launchers, so my everyday life revolves around pets and understanding what keeps them happy, safe, and engaged. My goal is to make each dog’s time with me as enjoyable for them as it is for me, with plenty of activity, affection, and attentive care. You can count on me for consistent, reliable care and a genuinely fun experience for your dog. I work fully remote 5 days a week the only resource needed is wifi and an outlet to charge my laptop. My daily schedule varies and is flexible to allow playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and water refills throughout the day as needed. I emphasize routine as much as possible when dog sitting because a consistent schedule helps reduce anxiety, especially when owners are away. I follow each dog’s daily feeding, walking, and play routines closely to keep them comfortable and secure. I provide active and supervised care so every dog feels relaxed, supported, and at home while their person(you) is away.
“I was nervous and not sure what to expect from Rover. My pets have never stayed with anyone outside my family. I was quickly assured that my pets would be safe and loved with Mariana. She listened carefully to my many instructions and gave each of my three pets individual attention. She is very knowledgeable and extremely kind. I feel my pets will not only be safe in her hands but have fun as well!!!”
“Meg is fabulous. She took excellent care of our three fur babies while we were on vacation and came to the rescue when our flight was delayed. She was very understanding and added the extra day to our booking for us. That was very helpful since we were in an area with spotty wifi. I highly recommend her.”

Mikala did an excellent job taking care of my kitty. She was able to give her an oral medication every day while also making sure all her needs were met…scooping litter, changing her water and making sure she had clean dishes and fresh food.i would absolutely recommend her and use her again myself.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Amboy is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 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 575 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Amboy. 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 Amboy. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
