“This was my first time using Rover and I was a little anxious about the process but Kat was extremely friendly and made me feel comfortable. She was very thorough with what took place at her drop ins and sent us lots of pictures of our fur babies while we were away. She really went above and beyond!”

“Em was a life saver! I contacted her last minute to help care for our three fur babies while my partner was away visiting family because my back injury flared right in the middle of his trip. Em came over three times a day, helped me give medicine to our elderly cat, handled the special feeding requirements, gave fresh water and scooped all the pans every visit, swept and vacuumed the litter from around the boxes; all the things! She was so gracious about cleaning up after our elderly cat’s litter box accidents. Above and beyond! I highly recommend Em for any pet needs you might have. I will 100% rebook if I’m in need again. Thank you Em!!”

“Stephanie was very kind and loving to our two dogs while we were on vacation in Florida. She played with them, cuddled, fed them and made sure they had water. We loved her pictures she took of our two doggies. It was a comfort knowing Stephanie was taking good care of our sweet dogs.”

“Jessie’s communication is TOP NOTCH! Brobee is my grumpy little grandpa and has major trust issues, but Jessie handled him like it was a piece of cake! I’m so mind-blown haha 😂 If you’re looking for someone who is patient and truly understand how to approach and read a dog’s body language, I would highly recommend Jessie!”

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own because I know how much they mean to you. I don’t just “watch” animals I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and little quirks so they feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ve worked with both puppies and senior pets, so I understand how different their needs can be. Whether it’s helping reinforce potty training and leash habits for younger dogs, or giving extra patience, gentle care, and medication support for older pets, I adjust to what your pet needs. You’ll never be left wondering how things are going. I send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: Give your pet a stress free, loving experience and give you total peace of mind. Throughout the week, I stay flexible so I can accommodate different routines, whether it’s early morning visits, evening checkins, or multiple visits per day. I also build in time for updates, so pet owners always know how their pet is doing. Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, it’s not just a task, it’s something I look forward to, making it easy to give each pet the care and attention they deserve. I provide care based on what makes each pet most comfortable, whether that’s in my home or yours. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and quiet companionship, so they feel safe in their own space. I’m respectful of your home and keep everything clean and consistent.

About: I've taken care of family and friends pets of all kinds and sizes. No animal is too tricky for me, I love a pet that is just as unique as their mom or dad! I'm currently available Monday-Friday with occasional weekends. I am in between jobs so my schedule can fit your needs! I even don't mind hanging out with your fur baby more than once a day if needed. I have a fully fenced in acre of land and a brand new car that is reliable for any pick up needs. I also have multiple pet beds and toys at my house if any time there is requested. We lost our fur baby in January so my house may still have her scent in spots. I've lived in Gainesville for 6 years, but have known the roads of Gainesville for 12, so I am very comfortable with the town and know the best walking spots!

About: I have had my own dogs and cats my whole life and currently have one dog and one cat. I worked at an animal shelter through high school with all kinds of dogs and cats and am comfortable with pretty much anything they can throw at me. Sometimes accidents happen and it’s ok and sometimes they get scared when new people are around which is totally understandable. I’m very comfortable being patient with any animal who needs a little extra love and understanding. I am currently a full time student and usually my day is pretty open on any day I don’t have class and in between my classes. I have two pets of my own who I get up early to take care of before class and always make sure I’m home to take care of after class. Weekends that I’m not visiting family are usually completely free as well. In a client’s home, the most important thing for any nervous pet will be respecting boundaries. I have a nervous girl dog and girl cat so I totally understand when they are a little hesitant to new people. But if they are sociable and want plenty of love I can absolutely give that too. I am very good at reading their body language and actions to determine what they want or need in the moment and will absolutely respect that their space if they want that.

“Victoria has been a tremendous drop-in sitter for our dog, Hunter. Every visit gives us real peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring and reliable hands. She consistently checks his food and water, makes sure he’s comfortable, and takes the time to play with him so he feels loved while we’re away. We truly appreciate her communication, and the genuine care she shows. Highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”

About: I have experience with puppies to adult dogs of varying energy and sizes. I can calmly handle reactivity. Experience with basic training. I care deeply for their happiness and will adjust myself to each pups personalities to give them the best attention and care they need. I currently work full time and start earlier in the morning. I am available before 7am for a stop by and available at 4:30pm to stop by or spend longer time with the fur family member. Weekends are completely open. I care for pets with care and attention. I will ask many questions regarding the current schedule the pet follows and any house rules. I will also request any specifications the pet might require or any tendencies to take note of. I will adjust for the animal’s needs to not throw them off their normal daily routines as much as possible to make them feel comfortable still in their own home.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and personalities, and they’ve always been a huge part of my life. From raising playful puppies to providing gentle, attentive senior care, I’ve experienced every stage of a dog’s journey. I’m confident in training, daily routines, and adapting to each dog’s unique needs to ensure comfort, consistency, and happiness. My goal is to offer dependable, loving care—treating every dog as if they were my own. I have two wonderful dogs of my own who receive my daily love and attention, but outside of their care, my schedule is flexible and open. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or quiet companionship, I’m dedicated to giving your pets the same level of comfort and care I give my own. Whether it’s a quick bathroom break in the backyard or full house and pet sitting for multiple nights, I provide attentive, reliable care with professionalism and love. You can trust that every task will be completed thoughtfully, and that your pets will feel safe, happy, and well-cared for.

“I used Lauren earlier this year - I am just now getting around to writing reviews! She was great, came by for a meet and greet, was very sweet and caring towards our cat. She gave our cat food and water, scooped the litter box, and even brought her own baggies for litter box scooping. I would absolutely use her service again! Very professional and clearly cares about animals.”

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Archer on Rover is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 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 of October 2026, there are 859 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Archer. 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.

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
