“Shaina is the best! She sends over lots of photos and detailed notes about each visit. I feel comfortable when we’re away knowing that our boy is in great hands with her. Thanks Shaina, Simba loved hanging out with you!”
“I'm very grateful to Dana for her kindness and patience with my two cats. She goes above and beyond to make sure that my home is in good condition, as well as taking great care of Fabio and Windi. My finicky cats highly recommend Dana!”
“Riley was amazing! Our dog is old, has movement issues, and needs medication. She was so great with him! She gave wonderful updates, consistently, about our dog and cat. She sent pictures daily and was super responsive! She was absolutely great to work with, easy to communicate with, and made our vacation so relaxing because we knew our pets were taken care of so well, while we were away! Highly recommend her!”
“Taylor is the sweetest to my pets! I spent a long weekend in Florida & my flight got canceled and. I ended up getting stuck for 2 extra days & she didn’t miss a beat. She said don’t fret and made me feel like my pets were so secure and safe. She is the best”
“Cam took such excellent care of my kitties! Great, thorough, timely, and hilarious updates. My cats were so chill when I got home, I seriously think they were like, wait a minute, where’s Cam, what are you doing here?? Gilly has a new best friend, and even Petunia, my cat with a shall we say ‘difficult’ personality, was warming up. I’d hire Cam again in a heartbeat!”
“Amanda was amazing to my Ottie!! She went above and even cleaned my cats litter box haha! She definitely cares about my pets and always kept me updated!! Ottie is a very shy dog but warmed up to Amanda by day 2!! 5 stars!!”
“Dez was amazing, responsible, clean and took care of my cats as if they were her own. She thoroughly scoop the litter boxes, cleaned up after them, and took some time to love on them. I highly recommend her for your pets!”
About: I grew up with pets (both cats and dogs) and have always loved being around and caring for animals. I worked as an animal care associate at the Humane Society of Chittenden County in Burlington, VT, where I learned safe handling techniques, gained medical knowledge, and cared for a wide variety of breeds and behavioral cases. I have extensive experience with cats, dogs, and smallies of all shapes and sizes and would love to help care for yours. I have a flexible schedule which leaves me plenty of time to walk and play with fur babies. I do have a part time job so I will need to leave occasionally when I am housesitting. I also don't mind commuting to care for an animal. I live in a lovely neighborhood for walking and am also able to drive dogs to nearby parks and hiking trails to play and exercise. I have a cat at home who dislikes other animals so I would only be able to provide care at a client's home.
“Savannah was truly outstanding. I had just started fostering a dog a week prior to her coming in, and she stepped in flawlessly. Had no issue washing the bedding when an accident happened, exhausted both dogs and made them happy and safe through out the whole week. She’s competent, figured out where everything was, and professional to a T. Would rebook her for a longer vacation anytime.”
About: I have a deep love for animals especially since I have a 10 year old schnauzer back home in Florida who I miss every day. Being around pets again brings me joy and comfort, and I always strive to give that same feeling back to the animals I care for. I treat every dog like my own; with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. I also genuinely enjoy walking outdoors, so your pup will always get the exercise and fresh air they deserve. Whether it’s energetic playtime or gentle care for seniors, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I love going on walks every day, especially in the spring/ summertime. So taking dogs along just makes those moments even better. Since I work as a competitive gymnastics coach in the evenings, my mornings and afternoons are wide open for drop-ins, walks, and quality time with pets. It’s the perfect balance of movement, fresh air, and furry companionship! Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or dropping in for a visit, I focus on making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I take time to bond with each pet through play, cuddles, or just calm companionship. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family, always making sure they’re happy, exercised, and well cared for while you’re away.
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!
About: I’ve been around animals for most of my life. I’m the friend people trust to take care of their dogs/cats while they go away. I’m adjustable to different breeds and needs. I will give them the attention and love they’re used to. I love going on walks so I will be just as excited to go! I am currently working from home, so I am flexible for different drop in and walking times. I am also able to accept last minute bookings if needed! I understand every furry friend is different and I am adaptable to learn their routine! When I am in your home I will do what is possible to make them feel happy and safe.
“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 grown up with dogs my entire life and have been caring for them from a young age. I started dog sitting as a young teen for my aunt and now regularly care for a family friend’s Mastiff for about two weeks each year, so I’m no stranger to big dogs, drool, and extra-large cuddles. At home, my family shares responsibility for our Pit Bull, giving me hands-on experience with daily care, routines, and affection. I truly love being around dogs and look forward to having a home full of happy pups after I finish college. As a full time student, I’m able to dedicate my weekends to giving your pup plenty of love, attention, and care. I’m also happy to help with check-ins or walks during the week when our schedules align. I’m very flexible, and caring for dogs never feels like a chore to me, it’s something I truly enjoy and am always glad to fit into my routine when I can. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and can stick to their normal routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, and house rules. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, while also keeping their space clean and safe. I always keep owners updated so they can feel at ease while they’re away.
About: As a Star Sitter, I have a proven track record of providing a calm, safe, and fun home environment with a high level of attention and care. Because I work from home, your dog receives consistent supervision, multiple daily walks, and plenty of engagement throughout the day. We love hosting dogs - your pup will be treated like part of the family 💕 I intentionally host one dog at a time (or dogs from the same household) to maintain a safe, low-stress environment and provide individualized care. The dogs in my photos are past guests and are not present during your dog’s stay. Before You Book: Important Requirements To ensure a great experience for everyone, I only accept dogs who are: • Fully house trained • Friendly with humans (no history of aggression) • Able to safely pass other dogs on walks • Comfortable in a new environment (no destructive behavior or significant anxiety) • Able to sleep through the night If your dog has anxiety, reactivity, or behavioral challenges, please be transparent so I can determine if this is the right fit. New Clients • Meet & greet required • First-time bookings: a one night trial stay is strongly recommended before longer stays I am home based and am an avid walker, plenty of availability. Your dog would not be left alone for more than a few hours when I have to run out for errands or appointments. I’m a homebody! I live in a safe, quiet neighborhood in the north hills with flat, easy loops for walking. I also have a fenced in, flat backyard that dogs love to play in. I have a 12 year old son who loves dogs and will gladly play with your pup.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Avalon
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.
Taylor is wonderful! This was the third time we’ve had her come for drop in visits with our pup, Reese, and each time we have been so happy with how well she cares for our girl. Reese loves going for walks and Taylor takes her for a long walk during each drop in. We have a very anxious pup and Taylor is so patient with her. We will always use Taylor’s services for our pup.
Katelyn helped me tremendously when my initial sitter plans feel through. Despite the short turn around, she took the time for a meet & greet, and my dogs really took a liking to her! She sent updates for each visit, letting me know how they were doing. Would absolutely recommend!
This was me and my partner’s first time using Rover, so naturally we were a little nervous going into it. But from the very first moment our babies met Alyssa, everything changed they instantly fell in love with her, and honestly, that told me everything I needed to know. Alyssa took such great care of them, and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. She made us feel comfortable, kept us at ease, and treated our babies like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience, and we will definitely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!

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.

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 .

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.

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.
