“Lauren is amazing! She is so thorough in her visit updates, and sends plenty of pictures. She takes the time to sit with our dogs and make sure they are comfortable with her. We could not ask for a better drop-in sitter!”
“Ceinwein did a great job and was available with short notice. Very reliable and experienced with dealing with an elderly dog and giving medication. Will definitely use her services again!”
“Emily was wonderful with my Rosie.... consistently sent me a photo each time she visited her and Rosie looked good upon my return....she is an 11 year old lab, so it's important not to overfeed. Emily took special care of my dog and I highly recommend her!”
“Lindsay is a dependable caregiver. She took care of my dog at the last minute. I loved the pictures she sent too. I will use her again when I need someone responsible to care for my Boba. 🐕”
“Dawn was awesome, kept in touch with us and sent pictures of our crazy fur babies. Abbie & Han's loved the interaction with a new friend. She let them run around and play outside when it was nice out. Cleaned up after them and gave meds to our Cat Jeeves. We were away for 8 days and I wasn't worried. Dawn kept me updated. Thank you”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ranging from small to big and unfriendly dogs. I’ve worked at a doggy daycare/boarding facility previously for about a year and I have been pet sitting for almost 3 years now. I currently have my own clients so I make my own schedule. I rearrange my schedule to fit all the animals in that I have for the day. This way I spend the most time with your pet. In a clients home, I always listen to what the client says. If the dog must be on a leash to go outside, then it will or if the dog must be caged at night. The owner knows their animal better.
About: I have had dogs, one or two, and a cat since I was born. I firmly believe that dogs that get outside for exercise and play will have a happier, healthier life. I'm currently finishing graduate school and happy to help out with animals of all sizes. I love to be outside and walking dogs is always a great way to spend some time. I'm happy to help walk dogs in the morning or evening and willing to provide house care as well! I work at a PT clinic close by, 8 hours a day so happy to care for your pets if this fits the need! I have 2 dogs who are very good with other dogs, we have a fenced yard and a big deck and a forest behind for exercise
“I’ve always been a bit leery to have a stranger come into my home and care for my fur baby, however as soon as I met Morgan I instantly trusted her. She is friendly and kind and without a doubt will love your pet as of it was her own. Morgan was super flexible and so sweet with my kitty. She also went above and beyond her pet sitting duties in many ways. The icing on the cake is that she left my house sparkling clean.”
“Elizabeth was great. First visit with my fur family of a dog and 3 cats. Liz was timely and sent pics, which I always look forward to. She was conscientious and flexible when my old dog didn't want to cooperate. Appreciate the extra effort. Will definitely use Liz again.”
“Jason has cared for Dash multiple times. Dash greets him at the door, and enjoys the special time with Jason. Of course, there’s food involved with that visit as well as treats and special attention. 🐈”
About: I have spent my entire life growing up with numerous and varied pets, which has given me experience with different animals and their needs. I would love to care for your pet—any breed, size, or personality! My schedule is very flexible, and I would love to discuss scheduling a time that works for you! Please reach out, so we can discuss your needs. I will clarify with you if there are any specific needs or routines that would be followed for your pet. Typically, I would enter and greet your pet (whether with pets or from afar), feed them per instructions, and give them fresh water. For dogs, we will head outside for a walk or exercise in the backyard, and for cats, I would clean their litter box and then play or relax with them. Whether it is a drop-in, overnight stay, or walk, I will make sure your doors and gates are locked!
About: I have been taking care of dogs for family, friends, and Rover for years and am excited by every opportunity I get to spend with them! I've been a dog owner myself for over 5 years. I can easily adjust my sitting style for dogs with a lot of energy or ones that are a little more relaxed. I am happy to sit in and give belly rubs or take them out on a long walk with me! My home has a fenced in backyard and there are plenty of places to walk near me. I typically work full time during the week at a non-profit theatre, I'm always happy to meet in person before we make final arrangements. I love taking care of dogs and I'd be happy to spend some time with the dog in your life!
About: Your pet deserves someone who will care for them with the same patience, attention, and kindness you do. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a relaxing drop-in visit, or all-day companionship, I'll follow your pet's routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take time to earn their trust while keeping you updated with photos and messages. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is receiving attentive, reliable care I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to look after their pets, whether it’s stopping by for feedings, taking them for walks, playing, or simply keeping them company while their owners are away. I personally have had both cats and dogs a majority of my life and believe they all deserve specialized care and love. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I enjoy getting to know each animal and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I pride myself in being very careful and clean when supporting the pet in the owners space. I’m happy to follow specific instructions and routines to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets! I work full time during the week, so I’m generally most available in the evenings after work and on weekends. I’m happy to spend that time walking, playing, and giving pets plenty of attention. I can also be flexible depending on scheduling needs! I always want pets to feel comfortable, safe, and at home. I do my best to stick to their usual routines, follow any instructions from their owners, and make sure they have everything they need. I’m also mindful of their surroundings and always make sure they get plenty of attention, patience, and care.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Applebachsville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 6,530 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Applebachsville. 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 Applebachsville. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
