“Sara was amazing! We were gone for 9 days and she was so reliable and sweet with our boys. One of our boys is epileptic and we never had to worry about him getting his medication. She was on time and gave us great updates and photos. Highly recommend!!”

“Mackenzi dropped in for us to take care of our dog while we were out of town. She sent us the cutest pictures of a happy pup! She kept to the schedule as promised and communicated after every visit. Leaving our dog at home is never easy, but knowing Mackenzi was taking good care of Zuzu made it much easier.”

“Hannah did an amazing job, I am new to this area and I was really nervous to leave my dog alone for the first time so that I could have a short summer vacation. She did a great job keeping me updated and it’s pretty clear to me that Enzo had himself a great weekend without me. Not only is Hannah professional, she clearly really enjoys doing what she does which I believe makes a huge difference. I would recommend her to anybody and I plan on hiring her again.”

About: I’m a retired professional who has cared for both dogs and cats when my kids were away at college. This included feeding, playing, and keeping up with training. Although I am new to professional pet-sitting, I’m reliable and committed to the happiness and wellbeing of your beloved pets. I am retired, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available any day of the week, 8am to 6pm. I am familiar with caring for both dogs and cats. My previous experience includes feeding, playing, walking, and training regimes like crate training and potty training.

About: I have loved caring for my animals since my youth. As a child, I cared for my neighbors’ pets when my neighbors were away from home. In more recent years, caring for the adorable pets of my friends and family has been the highlight of my days. Some pet sitting highlights include ball play, swimming in the puppy pool, cuddles, long country walks, and suburban strolls. Additionally, while pet sitting, I have offered comfort during fireworks and assisted a lovable tripod dog as he navigated the stairs to and from his home. I love these pets as my own. I provide structure, play, enrichment and affection to the pets I have the privilege of pet sitting, and treat them as the treasure they are, and as pets deserve to be treated. I have experience caring for medically complex pets, as my now 15 & 1/2-year-old diabetic rescue Australian Shepherd, who I have had since she was eight months old, has required twice daily insulin injections for five years. She also requires multiple medications administered to manage medical issues that stem from her diabetes and advanced age. In addition to my elderly Aussie, I have two younger Australian Shepherds. One is very much still a puppy requiring structured guidance and reinforcement. He is a beautiful blue Merle Aussie with boundless energy. At 72 pounds, my youngest ‘puppyesque’ Aussie needs clear boundaries for proper play with his sister. Finally, my third Aussie is a beauty! She is estimated by our veterinarian to be four to five years old. She is the Aussie in charge, while, also being my shadow - that is two full time jobs for her!! I am committed to providing trusted, caring, and reliable pet care tailored to each individual pet and their family, as I do my own. As a certified member of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS), I follow professional standards while offering a personal, compassionate approach to each family for whom I care. I have experience with puppies who need structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement through senior pets who require time, patience, gentle care, and support with medications or mobility and all ages, stages and abilities in between. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and small details so that your pets feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for—giving you peace of mind while you are away. I am available for drop-in visits daily for play, cuddles, meals, medication administration, and enrichment. I am able to visit early mornings and late nights depending on your pet’s needs. The safety of the pets in my care is priority. I maintain a keen awareness of the pets’ environment to ensure their safety whether on a walk, playing in the backyard or inside the home.

About: I am third year medical student, and I absolutely love dogs of all kinds. Your dog will be treated like family if he or she is with me. I am an avid runner, and I am happy to take your dog for a run, to the beach, to play frisbee or sit home with your dog with lots of cuddles. Dogs are always welcome and in fact encouraged to join me on the couch or the bed. If you wish, I will give your dogs lots of treats, but only with your permission :). I have cared for numerous dogs, including disabled dogs,- one had back injury that prevented her from jumping and climbing and another was blind and deaf. The dog in my profile picture is my college's emotional support dog. I took her for near daily walks and around campus to visit students and attend campus events. I am happy to take your dog out in the community, and show it off proudly, treating him/her as if he/she is my own dog. I have a dog loving roommate and lots of dog loving friends, meaning there will be no shortage of cuddles for your "fur-baby"

About: Hi! I bring years of hands-on experience from running an emergency and critical care animal rescue, where I cared for pets with a wide range of medical and behavioral needs. I'm confident handling medication administration, injections, mobility support, and other complex care routines. At home, I care for my sweet blind dog with medical issues and a high-energy puppy, so I understand the importance of both patience and structure. I have extensive expierence with both cats and dogs, but am more than happy to care for any pet you may have 🥰 Whether your pet needs quiet care, extra attention, or high-energy playtime, I’ll treat them like family and provide reliable, loving support while you're away. I currently work Monday- Friday, but am available for all of your petcare needs! My schedule is flexible! Please let me know if adjustments are needed! I have a large yard, and a seperate room for pets if needed. Our yard is not fenced, but we have a supervised tie out, or leash walks! I have a very friendly dog who loves to play, or can be kept seperate if needed. I also have a very friendly cat! We live on an awesome walking trail, and I go running every day with my dog.

About: Having grown up on a farm, caring for animals has always been second nature to me—especially dogs. From an early age, I learned the responsibility and joy that comes with tending to animals of all kinds, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well cared for. Many of the pets I have today were either rescues or animals I took in to help owners during times of transition. Currently, our family dog is nearly 15 years old and requires specialized care due to multiple health issues. This has given me extensive experience in administering medications, monitoring health conditions, and providing the patience and attention that senior dogs require. Whether it’s a young, energetic pup or an older dog needing extra care, I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet. Dog sitting isn’t just about supervision—it’s about ensuring each dog feels at home, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. With my background and deep love for animals, I strive to make every dog feel like part of the family. I work from home and run my own business, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and loving care for pets. Being home throughout the day allows me to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel secure and at ease. From feeding and playtime to administering medications and offering plenty of affection, I tailor my care to each animal’s needs. Whether they need extra attention, a calm space to relax, or special care, I make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home.

About: Prior to college I worked Noah's Caring Hands on Sunnyside Road as a pet care specialist. I worked there for almost 4 years, and I am experienced in all ranges of dog/cat ages and needs. Additionally, I have experience administering medication to animals and following specific dietary needs. I am experienced with daycare and boarding animals, and would be more than happy to care for your furry friend! I am available to cat/dog sit and walk for a majority of the weekends or evenings! I am pretty flexible after 4 pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I had a 17 year old dog whom I administered medications and treatments for throughout his long lifespan. Additionally I have a kitten. While my dog was alive he enjoyed hugs and kisses especially after medication time! After working with him for years and the other animals at the veterinary hospital I have become used to all age ranges and medical needs of each animal (cat and dog).

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats throughout my life, including my own dog, family dogs and cats, and pets belonging to neighbors. I understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own household, with plenty of love, attention, patience, and respect for their individual personality and routine. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and following detailed instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom routines, and other special needs. I also have experience providing additional care, including administering both liquid and tablet medications. I know that every pet is different, so I’m happy to learn their routine, favorite activities, little quirks, and what helps them feel most comfortable. My goal is not only to make your pet feel loved and cared for, but also to help you feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands. Pet care fits well into my routine, especially with my weekends generally open and flexible. I’ll also be transitioning to a hybrid work schedule soon, giving me additional weekday availability. I’m happy to coordinate my schedule whenever possible to provide reliable care, visits, walks, and companionship when your pets need it most. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and home environment so they can feel as comfortable as possible while their owner is away. I’m happy to do a meet-and-greet beforehand and will carefully follow instructions for walks, feeding, playtime, medications, and other needs. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care while keeping their routine familiar and their home respected.

“Kaitlyn helped me to take care of my kitty during the holiday season. One of the hardest seasons to find a sitter. Yet, she accepted my request. Not only that. She even helped me out to check on my kitty during the winter storm while I was stuck in Dallas. Overall great availability. She takes pet sitting seriously. Ensuring that your pet will eat its meals, as well as ensuring to play with your pet.”

About: I grew up around a lot of big dogs so I think i have a better time reading the dog and knowing what it needs and when. I am currently self employed so i can fit in my walks into my schedule how I like. That way if you need to change the time i can be very flexible. You can ensure my attention will be on your pet 100% of the time when you book with me and will get lots of play time.

Alisa was amazing with Dusty and Toby! She took such great care of Dusty, our dog, and Toby, our cat, while we were away. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Alisa was caring, attentive, and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about both of them and made sure they were happy and comfortable. We came home to two happy pets, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would definitely have Alisa watch Dusty and Toby again and highly recommend her! ❤️🐶🐱

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Avon on Rover is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 2,550 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Avon. 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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
