“Denise was fantastic. She was so patient with our senior dog who can be a bit stubborn and also suffers from some disorientation in his old age. We appreciate the peace of mind know she was stopping in to check on him and would highly recommend her.”
“Heather is wonderful, she cares for my cats while I am away. My cats remember each time from the previous time and it gives me a lot of peace of mind to know they are with someone they trust and love.”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was young. I understand that pets are apart of the family and how difficult it is to leave them behind when on vacations. That’s why it’s so important to me to make sure there is someone who treats my animals the same way! Alex (my significant other) and I would love nothing more than making sure your furry friend remains comfortable and safe while you are away. Alex and I both work through the day but live very local (5 minutes from our home) so we can check on them throughout the day if needed. We are also very active so pets that need extra walking or a hike is not a big issue for us in the least! I work full time and so does my partner Alex, however we both get an hour lunch and are willing to both work around schedules to fit where needed! Both of us do live very close to home so if needed we can always stop by the house and check in. My pets are my family so yours would become my family as well! Both cats and dogs need someone that is going to be willing to play with them daily! I have multiple kennels of different sizes if a pet needs one/is comfortable with one. If not I also have a room dedicated to keeping pets comfy while I am gone during the day. It’s always helpful to have a space where pets can decompress when they are in an unknown location.
About: Hi, my name is Sara Fox! I’m 30 years old! I’ve had dogs in my family since I could walk. I’m very flexible and if something comes up, I let you know ahead of time. I’ve done pet sitting for many years. My family and I have a boxer with lots of energy. I have a huge heart for dogs and dogs have been a huge part of my life. I enjoy doing anything outside and would be more than happy to take your dog(s) on hikes. I hope that you take into consideration what I have provided you and look forward to hearing from you soon! Enjoy your day! Thank you! I currently don't have my own animal. I take care of other's animals and have always been good with that. Hope to hear from you! I would treat any clients home like my own. I want to leave it the way the it was when I arrived at your home to take care of your animal(s).
“Emily was wonderful in taking care of our two cats. She was prompt in sending us photos and even took the time to water our plants without us asking! We will definitely use her again! Caroline and Joe”
About: I have been caring for pets professionally since I was 9 years old and have had dogs throughout my life. I have experience with all breeds of dogs and cats, with all sorts of temperaments. I have experience giving medications to both cats and dogs. I am very accommodating of any special circumstance your furry pet may need! My animal care taking goes beyond just dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for reptiles and I was a horse caretaker for 5 years! I am currently in between jobs and looking for side gigs, as I am starting Physicians Assistant School in August 2024. I am fully available for any time that you may need and can be very accommodating! I am able to come to your house whenever is needed and care for your animals! I would be able to take them on long walks, feed them, give them any needed medications, and any other enrichment you may want!
About: I volunteer at the SPCA walking dogs and caring for the cats. I'm a lover of all animals. I'm very clean and responsible and care for all animals as I would a family member. I'm currently working full-time, but I'm available after 4 and all weekends and holidays. I have a dog and fours cats of my own and this seems to work for them. They are very happy. I take my dog on long walks and provide him enrichment treats and toys. I always check when leaving to make sure that nothing is out he can hurt himself with. I'm also very strict on cleaning the cat boxes as I don't want them to get sick or smell up the house. I will clean up after your pets and I will make sure they are safe and happy.
About: I am highly enthusiastic about dog behavior and dog care. I started working at a dog daycare facility in 2016, and have worked my way up to a supervisor within no time. I have certificate of completion of Knowing Dogs 101: Dog Language and Knowing Dogs 201: Group Play. My previous job was a cage free dog boarding/daycare facility, which can average 80 dogs a day. I am capable of watching and caring for these dogs in groups of 40 by myself. I will always have a phone on me, or someone with a phone. Contacting me via: email, text, or call will be no problem. I understand that caring for dogs is a life responsibility, and I always plan my day around my dogs. I am very flexible with my time and will be able to accomidate your needs. My husband, Joey may also be around your dogs while he/she is with me in my home. He is a dog lover as well, please let me know if other people being around your dog is an issue! I’m currently a stay at home mom to newborn twins and a 6 and 4 year old. My husband is a mail carrier which means I’ll have lots of availability in the evenings or on his days off! In my own home i have a fenced in yard, and when looking after pets in someone else’s home, I always double check to make sure all doors and latches are closed, and leashes/ harnesses are securely attached.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Balls Mills
Haley took care of our two kitties for a week. She is very professional and has a great personality! Haley asked questions and made sure she understood all the kitties needs (one takes medication) at our meet-n-greet. She did a wonderful job of taking care of the kitties; arriving on schedule, completing the daily tasks and playing with them. The kitties really enjoyed spending time with Haley as witnessed in the cute, playful pictures and updates she sent us twice a day. We would encourage anyone who is looking for a responsible, caring person to watch their fur babies to contact Haley!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Balls Mills is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $18 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 111 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Balls Mills. 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 Balls Mills. On Rover:
- 91% 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 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.
