About: I've been walking and checking in on friends' and family's dogs for years. I never got to have my own growing up, so dogs have always had a special place in my heart. I'm reliable, easy to communicate with, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with every dog I meet. I'm new to Rover but I'm serious about building something here and I will always show up for your pup! I work full time during the week, but I have availability in the evenings and on weekends and enjoy staying active during my free time. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, so I do my best to be flexible, communicative, and reliable. My goal is to make pet care as easy and stress free as possible while making sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I currently offer walks and drop in visits so your pet can stay comfortable in the environment they know best. I take being trusted in someone else’s home very seriously and always aim to be respectful, organized, and attentive while caring for your pet. I know every animal has different needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

Caring for pets truly brightens my day, and I make it a priority to ensure every dog feels safe, loved, and part of the family. I have experience with dogs of different breeds, ages, energy levels, and personalities, and I’m happy to tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their comfort and happiness. Pet care is a structured part of my weekly routine. I intentionally plan my schedule to allow for consistent walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins, and I adjust as needed to meet each pet’s specific needs. I care for pets by prioritizing their routine, comfort, and safety. I follow all client instructions carefully and communicate clearly to ensure peace of mind.
“Jessica is absolutely fantastic! She was able to watch my dog on short notice and took exceptional care of him!!! She was patient with me when I was slightly panicking because I was out of state and the person who was supposed to watch him cancelled. She made sure I didn’t have to worry about my dog and I knew he would be cared for properly. Will definitely be booking again!”

About: I own dogs, cats, and horses of my own. I've helped over 200 fosters or rescues in our home, many of which had medical issues. I've dealt with most problems that could come up with sitting! I also use Rover for my own pets, so I try to do everything that I would want a sitter to do for me! I have a pretty flexible schedule with work, so I am able to fill all of that free time with pet sitting opportunities! Let me know how I can help! I love all animals and try to take care of them as if they were my own. I also love taking photos and sending them off so you can see your animals while you are away!
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and have almost always lived in a home with three or more at a time, so caring for multiple dogs with different personalities, ages, energy levels, and needs is second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve cared for my own dogs as well as pets belonging to friends and family. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, seniors, larger breeds, feeding schedules, walks, medications, basic grooming, and maintaining the routines dogs are used to at home. Having a multi-dog household has also taught me how important it is to pay attention to each dog individually—reading their body language, managing introductions, giving them space when needed, and making sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. When your dog stays with me, I want them to feel like they’re staying in a home, not a boarding facility. I’m happy to follow their normal routine and provide plenty of photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re being well cared for. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I have dogs of my own. I’m currently able to offer a flexible schedule throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I’m home frequently, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I’m also happy to work around your dog’s normal feeding, exercise, and sleep schedule. I have a dog-friendly home with a fenced yard and plenty of room for dogs to play, relax, and feel comfortable. Since I have dogs of my own, I take introductions seriously and pay close attention to each dog’s personality and body language. Dogs can be separated or crated when needed, and I’m happy to follow any routines or boundaries you use at home. My priority is making sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of individual attention.
About: I have a pup of my own her name is Ellie she’s about 5 years old now and she’s just the sweetest and acts like a puppy still but I figured hey why not get paid to dog sit as well, animals normally love me and I’ve never had problems with them getting used to me either! I currently have a job at Dairy Queen and I work either 11-5 or 5-10:30, I am currently looking for another job so that could change soon but I’m more than willing to put in that extra effort to be at the house when needed! We give our Ellie plenty of love and affection feed her twice a day and play fetch with her a lot, she LOVES squeaky toys and tennis balls the most and she’s the most friendly loving dog ever! And I’m more than happy to share the love with your dog!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Avoca is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $26 per visit. On Rover, 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 893 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Avoca. 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 Avoca. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
