About: I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages from kittens and puppies to seniors. Including potty training, regular training, food aggression, dietary needs, medication administration, exercising, basic commands, diabetes injections, aggression/behavioral issues. I work real estate so I have a lot of down time in between work to stop in and check in, walk and play with your furbabies. I will follow any routines owners have to a T and don’t mind any special requests. My only goal is to make your furbaby happy and your mind at ease while you’re away.
About: I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own that I care for daily. I also care for my friends pets often and am excited to meet your pets and provide them the best care that they deserve. I am available all day on weekends and in the evenings every day. Some week days I am available more often. I am also available for overnights stays. I have a fenced in yard so would be able to have your pets in my home with no concern of them running off or anything like that. If I am caring for your pets in your home I will treat your home like my own, providing the best care.
“We had a wonderful experience with our Rover sitter, Brittany! She was kind, trustworthy, and took such great care of our dog, Macie. Our puppy absolutely loved her, and we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
“Caring, reliable, on-time, attentive, and trustworthy. I have two large German Shepherds who crave attention and brushing and Karen and Donald did perfectly. I never had to worry about their safety or condition as they let me know every time they showed up, sent pictures, and when they left. I recommend them to anyone!!!!”
“I met Cheyenne and her pup Waffles at the dog park. My lucky day .. she’s awesome and now she and Waffles ( Sassy insisted on a playmate) do a daily drop in and I have a happy pupper !”
“Victoria is amazing! This was the 2nd time I had her pet sit my two cats and once again I was a le to leave them without worry! Thank you Victoria, you are the best!”
“100/10 recommend! Freya is so sweet and kind! My boy is not a huge fan of strangers and during his meet and greet with Freya, he took to her immediately! She was super communicative and kept me in the loop about his every visit. Would absolutely book again!”
“Olivia was an amazing sitter. She took time to introduce herself to Sophie, our Jack Russell. All of the directions we had on our list were followed to a “T”. Sophie warmed up to Olivia and played, too. I would highly recommend Olivia -she is punctual and sent photos and updates with each drop in. All in all she did a great job.”
“Alannah was a terrific cat sitter - attentive, communicative, and caring to our pets! I appreciated her accommodating a somewhat last minute request and I came home to some happy cats :)”
“Anna has been a life saver for my dog and I! Thank you SO MUCH for taking care of my baby while I was transitioning into my new job and spending 12+ hours a day away from home! I am sad that we will no longer have Anna in our area. I highly recommend Anna!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 15 years and have experience with breeds ranging from Siberian huskies to chihuahuas! I share a deep passion for animals and take pride in my care for all furbabies. I work full-time but my love for animals is my top priority! Eventually, I want to make pet-sitting and taking care of animals my full-time career! I have experience in crating dogs, feeding, administering topical and oral medications. We will set up a meet and greet prior to booking to make sure your pet(s) are comfortable with me!
“Reilly was fantastic and provided great services to me and my dog Jerry. She went above and beyond by providing extra care, comfort and attention to Jerry and his needs. Very responsive to any and all my questions. I am extremely grateful for her and her services.”
“Madison took great care of our boys when we were out of town. She knew exactly how to win their trust. All instructions left for our doggies care were followed. We will definitely reach out to Madison for any future doggy sitting needs. Thank you for looking after are boys. Yoda and Panda say HI!”
About: I’ve been taking care of neighbors, friends, and family dogs since I was a teen. I love giving them lots of attention. I’ve taken care of a wide variety of dogs from one who was blind and deaf and was very snuggly, to caring for 6 dogs for a 2 night stay for someone’s wedding. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or cozy cuddles on the couch, I provide loving, reliable care tailored to your dog’s needs. Your dog’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority! I will gladly meet up beforehand to make sure you and your dog are comfortable and happy. I have a soft spot for pitbulls and have had multiple rescues throughout my life. Available before 5:30am and after 3pm. Whether they need a brisk walk, some play time, or just some company while you are away I’ll be there to help. Clear instructions work best for me and my top priority is your dogs safety and happiness. Please let me know what works best for your dog and how you like them to be cared for.
“Joanne was an absolutely amazing sitter, went above and beyond for our dog and the cats. Was able to come do a very last second meet and greet and followed all of the instructions tp the letter. Would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter to drop in for the day!”

Lynn was truly the best! She gave us such peace of mind caring for our frenchie while we were out of town. She provided detailed information about each visit and amazing picture updates. She really loved our pup like her own and we will 100% book with Lynn again in the future.
We knew within minutes of meeting Alannah that she was going to be a good fit to watch our pups. She had genuine interactions and care for both of them. You can tell she’s an animal lover! She was very prompt with her check ins and always gave us detailed info about what was going on. We’ll absolutely book with her in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 394 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Avoca. 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 Avoca 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.
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:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
