“Ian was a super pet watcher for us he was very reliable and had great communication throughout a long day! I appreciate him very much. I could tell our pu ps were very quickly at ease with him and I did not feel stressed or worried myself. I would 100% utilize his services again!”
“Ashlee has been a wonderful help to me with dropping in to care for my rambunctious doggos! I really appreciate her scheduling flexibility, and patience with me being newer to the app. So glad I found you! Thank you for your help!! :)”
“We loved Sarah! We rested easy knowing our Tucker was well taken care of. She was easy to work with and responsive with communication. Loved the sweet pictures she posted for us and they even are frame worthy. 😊. Tucker hopes to have her visit with him in the future!🐾”
“Victoria did an amazing job with Panini! I feel she really went above and beyond. I got photos throughout the visit which I really appreciated. Panini, my cat, was very well cared for and I definitely recommend booking with Victoria!”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life. I have also been taking care of pets for family members and neighbors for quite some time. I love meeting new furry friends and I hope to meet many more I am currently working full time, but I’m looking to move more into a caregiving job, working with animals more frequently. As of right now I can do morning and afternoon visits, as needed during business days I can come to a clients home and provide whatever care is needed, whether it’s taking a young pup on a long walk, or just hanging out with a senior pup in the backyard while they do their business and enjoy some sun. Or even playing with a kitty and some string in the living room.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 10, and my love for animals has only grown over the years! I believe every dog deserves patience, attention, and love, and I go above and beyond to make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and cared for. I won’t just watch your dog—I’ll treat them like family! I currently work part-time only two days a week, so I have plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my schedule! I can plan my time around your pet’s needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, love, and reliable care while you’re away. I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved by following their normal routine, keeping a close eye on them, and respecting your home and rules. I’ll follow all feeding and care instructions, keep them out of unsafe situations, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was born and I know how to properly care for them! I am experienced in feeding, walking, and playing with dogs! I currently work part time Monday through Friday so I have plenty of free time to take care of and play with pets! I am great with all animals! I currently have a cat and a German Shorthair Pointer pup who is about 8 months old! I take my dog to the dog park daily and he loves running around and getting all his energy out!
About: I've had a love/passion for dogs since I was born into this life. Growing up, I've always had a dog in the house, so it easily became the norm for me. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds, including doberman, pitbulls, great dane, labs, boxers, beagles, and mutts. I truly love them all. I'm open to taking care of all breeds. I don't discriminate! One thing I will note is that I specialize in high energy/working dogs and am very familiar with larger breeds. Just to give you a quick example, I raised a Doberman from a puppy which led to me learning A LOT throughout the process. Doberman are a working breed and require plenty of mental and physical stimulation & I think I cracked the code! I’ve developed a deep understanding of what high-energy dogs need to thrive. I'm good at stimulating their minds, keeping them active and most importantly, happy. I'm not a certified dog trainer, but I do understand the importance of balancing their physical and mental well-being, and I'm dedicated to ensuring each dog has a great time with me! I'm very engaging and mindful, so whatever your dog may need, whether it's staying active outside or relaxing at home, I will do my best to provide. That's a promise. When it comes to availability, I am free at the moment. You can contact me any time and I will get back to you asap. I will make sure you feel comfortable with leaving your pets with me. To ensure you of this, I will send you daily photos & videos to show you how good of a time they're having! Also, you can give me a call ANYTIME. I know what it's like to drop my dogs off at a pet sitter's house, so my job is to give you the relief of knowing that your pets are in great hands. I can guarantee you this🙂
“I cannot say enough about Amanda’s exceptional care for my four cats. Over the years, I’ve hired many pet sitters, and she is by far the best I’ve ever had. Her attentiveness and compassion made it so much easier for me to be away, giving me true peace of mind. Not only did she provide outstanding care for my cats, but she also went above and beyond by feeding the stray animals who rely on me for daily meals, as well as keeping my backyard squirrels and birds well-fed. She even collected my mail and kept in regular contact with updates, reassuring words, and adorable photos. Amanda is simply the BEST—reliable, thoughtful, and truly devoted. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

“Estefanny is a great pet sitter. She was on time or let me know when there was a personal conflict right away. She kept Deb busy with walks and play time. I would use her again and recommend her to other pet owners.”
About: Hey my name is Cass. My parents loved animals! When I was younger, I grew up with several pets. Dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc. you name it. I really enjoy being outside and being active. I love to walk to parks, bike, workout, and draw in my free time. I also like to explore different forest preserves in the area. I would love to play and care for your pet! If you have any questions or interests just shoot me a message, I would be more than happy to answer them. I hope to hear from you! Thank you so much and have a great day! :) I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! I don’t have a fenced in yard but I love to be outside and would keep on a leash when going out. If your dog is more energetic and needs to run around, I have no issue blowing off some energy too and going to a fenced in dog park.
About: I’ve enjoyed animals my entire life. I had a dog growing up, and I fell in love with dogs and horses. I went to college for equine related activities. I’ve watched my friends pets and pets of contacts through church in the comfort of their home. I treat your pets as if they were my own. I’m able to walk your dogs, administer medicine and take note of their behavior. I always keep owners updated on how their pets are doing while they’re away unless they don’t want to be notified. I even send photos to keep owners updated and at ease. I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time to walk and play with your pets. Animals make me happy, and I love them. I currently don’t have a place that allows pets, but I’d be happy to take your pets to a park. I can also take them to a public walk path if a park is overwhelming and not a good fit.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 556 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Avalon. 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 Avalon. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
