Amanda did an amazing job keeping us updated about our cats while we were on vacation. We didn’t have to worry about them at all and we knew they were in good hands.

Abriana took the best care of our Samson. He can be very shy especially when away from us and we could tell through all the pictures of videos we got throughout the stay that he was comfortable with her. Abriana took great care of Samson and kept us updated all weekend.

I could tell right away that Dana was dependable, reliable and can be counted on. As someone who worries a lot about leaving my two cats, that provided me the peace of mind that I needed to enjoy my vacation week. I was so happy to find that she also truly is kind, caring, and loves animals, and that my shy cats warmed up to her immediately! I would absolutely recommend Dana.

Lauren is absolutely awesome. She is great with the dogs, follows instructions, and has great communication. She is also flexible which was a huge bonus. She sends pictures after every visit and lets you know how everything went. I have full trust in her and would definitely recommend her.

Mary watched my cat Binx for five days and was incredibly attentive and detailed in her check-ins which is always so appreciated. My boy can be picky about who he likes and he seemed to warm up to her quickly. Great communication and she definitely helped my peace of mind while I was away!

About: I've really missed caring for dogs since my beloved pup of 13 years passed away. I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. Every dog is unique, but I find that I make friends with them quickly! I'm good at reading their body language and accommodating their needs. I look forward to playing, feeding, walking, and providing company for your precious babies 💖 I'm available every weekday after 3:30pm and available most weekends. Depending on what your sitting/walking needs are, we could work it out! I take attentive care of my pets, and I'll be sure to follow any directions you may have for me! I'm good at moderating food and providing enrichment.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over four years and currently have four dogs of my own, ranging from giant breeds to my small Corgi, Zeek. Having a variety of dogs has given me experience with different personalities, energy levels, and temperaments. I’m comfortable caring for playful puppies, energetic dogs, and seniors who need extra patience and attention. I also volunteered at the Humane Society, where I gained experience working with dogs from many different backgrounds and learned the importance of providing compassionate, individualized care. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets, and I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are safe and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a calm companion, I will treat them like one of my own and provide plenty of love, attention, and updates throughout their stay. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of playtime, potty breaks, attention, and love while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I believe every dog deserves individualized care, patience, and plenty of affection. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering medications, and accommodating any special needs or routines. I provide a clean, loving, and stress-free environment and will keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

Ryan was an excellent find! Pleasant, dependable, and responsive, he did a fantastic job of taking care of my three cats while we were away for almost two weeks. Not only did he take care of my boys, he also brought in all the packages that we received while we were gone. He will be my first call when I need a pet care from here on out. Thanks Ryan!!

About: Hi! I’m Clementine (it won’t let me change my name haha) I’ve had dogs ever since I was baby. I grew up around them, and I’ve always felt a sort of connection with them. I have 3 dogs of my own currently, two of which are rescues, and one of which is epileptic and asthmatic, so I have experience in the field of dogs who need special care. I just graduated high school and I don’t plan on going to a university, so I will be free most of the time during the summer! Because I have dogs of my own that don’t mesh well with others, I’ll only be able to do visits and stays at your home to ensure the safety of your pets!

We will definitely be making more repeat bookings. Thank you both for being PAWsome!🐾

About: Before Rover I didn’t have much experience with dogs if I’m being honest. The only experience I had prior with a dog was a baby pitbull and that was for about a year. That being said, despite the lack of experience I had, I have gained more experience from caring for dogs on Rover. My love for animals in general is why I am open to continue learning. I will still provide the same love, care and affection for a dog as I would a cat. My daily and weekly routine is very open for pet care. I am currently on maternity leave so I have lots of availability throughout my days. I treat them like their family and not strangers or “just for the money type of thing”. If the client has special requests as far as how they would want their pet taken care of, I would follow those requests and update the clients along the way.

About: I am happy watching and caring for animals of all types. I have had experiences abroad in third world countries providing both care and attention to dogs and cats. I have also volunteered at an animal rescue tending to dogs and cats for over 9 years. I will provide a caring, affectionate , and loving home for the time being for your furry friend :) I am active and would love to take dogs on long walks to the park or on the trails; I would be more than happy to take your dog on a walk several times a day. I also have & love feline friends too! If need be I can administer medications. All animals and pets are welcome, and will be provided with a comfotable and loving atmosphere. I am able to care for animals in the mornings/ early afternoons, or in the evening. On weekends my work schedule varies, but I am pretty flexible. I am never gone for more than four hours at a time. I bring a calm and steady presence, respecting your pets boundaries and allowing them to feel safe. I will ensure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve while also recognizing they may need time to feel comfortable. Whether your pet enjoys pets and playing right away, or prefers to watch me from afar, I will bring both compassion and a warm presence into your home/their space.

We had a great experience with Katelyn! She was able to help us out on short notice and immediately put us at ease by coming over for a meet-and-greet beforehand. She was punctual, spent quality time with Ollie and Archie, made sure they were fed, pottied, and received their medication, and kept us updated throughout the visit. We would absolutely recommend her and look forward to booking with her again!

Grace watched our two dogs while we were out of town for a few days. She got to know our doggos ahead of time and was very friendly and kind when we met her. She was punctual and professional. Grace communicated with us when necessary when taking care of our dogs. She let us know that they were eating their food and doing well on their walks, and she always provided lovely photos so we could see them while we were away. When we got back from our trip we could see our home and doggos had been well cared for. I fully recommend Grace to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Avalon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Avalon on Rover is $18.19 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,572 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Avalon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Avalon stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Avalon choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Avalon with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Avalon. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
