“Michele has watched our boys multiple times and every time we come back to happy fur babies! Her communication is perfect. I feel like I know exactly what I need to know and nothing I don’t! So not constantly getting notifications, but if she has a question about the boys or just keeping me in the loop of things that I probably should know she does! We are very grateful for her!”
About: I grew up with our family's sweet Chihuahua, who was truly a piece of my heart. He brought so much joy, peace, and comfort into my life. Though he passed in 2024, he's still with me every day, guiding the care I give with gentleness and love. I've also had the joy of spending time with my sister's schnauzer and her gentle poodle. Being part of their daily care, feeding, walks, playtime, and quiet cuddles, felt like a natural extension of the love I've always had for animals. Every pet has their own little soul, and I truly enjoy getting to know them, earning their trust, and making them feel safe, seen, and loved. I am currently in college, so my weekdays (Monday-Thursday) are pretty full. But I am most available for drop-in visits and dog walking from Friday through Sunday. If your pup needs some weekend company, walks, or a friendly check-in, I'd love to be there for them! Just message me and we can find a time that works best. When I care for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain a calm, familiar, and comforting environment. I always follow the pet parent's instructions closely, from feeding routine routines to walk routes, because I know how important consistency is for animals. Whether, I'm doing a drop-in visit or taking your pup for a walk, I keep a close eye on their behavior and surroundings. I use secure leashes, avoid risky areas, and treat your pet (and your home) with the same respect and care I'd want for my own.
“Kaylah is amazing!! She comes to take my pup out while I’m at work. She communicates extremely well & makes it super easy. My pup doesn’t like other dogs and she was totally okay with that. I would 10/10 recommend.”
About: I have always had pets in our household. We currently have three large breed dogs and four cats. I have walked beside pets with cancer, needing special attention, all varieties of dogs and cats. I have trained a therapy dog and worked with herding and agility dogs. I love to play ball with dogs or just snuggle with them. I currently work full time but can make arrangements for any time of day to care for your pets. I can be flexible around their needs. Each visit will be filled with love and fun while you are away. I will feed, water, give medicines, and play with your fur baby.
“Hillary is top notch. She took care of our boys as if her own. Regular pics, play time, and all. When we got back the boys were out looking for her. Thanks so much Hillary for the exceptional care of our fur babies.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, birds, horses, and other farm animals. I am reliable and strive to provide excellent care to your animal and treat them as if they were my own. I have been in the equestrian world for >10 years and am comfortable cleaning stalls, moving horses, and exercising them if needed. I am currently working full-time in an ofice, but I am available in the mornings anytime before 9 AM and evenings anytime after 5 PM for drop-in visits! At this time, I cannot offer overnight stays. At this time, I am not able to care for client's pets as I have cats of my own that do not do well with other animals. In your home, I am happy to care for your animals however you'd like (e.g., out during the day/in at night).

About: I would love to take your fur babies out for walks and drop in on them to play. I have always had my own and i know how lonely it can be for them to be alone while their parents are at work. I can take them for nice long walk and even run with them if they are a little more energetic. i can always make sure they have enough food and water to get them through the day. I love to play catch and can take them to dog parks and let them get socialized with other dogs. I have my own baby they can even play together. I am so very excited to potentially work with you and your loving fur baby. I also have a very loving dog and if you are comfortable with it he really likes to play with other dogs.
About: I have experience with just about any pet you could imagine. We would love to take care of your babies too, in our home or yours. Find us on Face book too: Goodwin Farms Pet Care (prices are 20% higher in rover) I am retired from my career and am home just about all day to watch your babies for you. I am a real estate agent so almost all of my work is done at home or wherever I need to do it. We have a fenced in back yard. We utilize the layout of our home and the 2 back doors to rotate dogs if any do not get along with the other.
About: I work at a vet office, I get along very well with animals. I know how to tell what your pets behavior is and if they are feeling sick, nervous, overwhelmed, stressed or even showing signs of aggression. I know how to administer medication if needed. And I absolutely love meeting new animals! I could also clip your pets nails for an additional fee! (10$). Need ears cleaned? I can do that as well! I’m currently working full time at a animal hospital so I will be able to do this more so on the weekends and probably some Fridays, if the pet is close to my house/job I would be able to do 2/3 drop in visits depending on the location I will make sure the pet is well fed and administered medication if any, I will also make sure they are cleaned up after if any mess is made. Along with this I will monitor their behavior to make sure everything is going okay with them, and of course I will send update photos.
“I highly recommend booking Meaghan as a pet sitter. She took care of my two cats and made sure to send lots of pictures and updates. She also took the time to meet the cats before the visit. She was so kind and professional!”
About: I have cared for many dogs, from Toy breeds up to Great Danes. However, I have mostly cared for dogs that are smaller, and bully dogs. I have also cared for older puppies with the biggest hearts, so if your senior pup needs a friend, call! I am also able to administer any medications your dog needs, as well as bathe them if needed. Whatever your family and furry friends need, I can provide! As of right now I am unemployed, but actively searching for a job in the pet grooming/kennel facility area. I am currently able to look after your pets FULL TIME, and am currently able to do *extended sittings*. I am currently unable to keep your pets in my home as we are doing some renovations that would make me uncomfortable with providing a completely safe space for your pet. With that being said, I am MORE than happy to come to your home and take care of your pets in an environment they are already in love with! If your dog is crate trained, no problem! If your pup sleeps in the bed with you, even better! Specific feeding/walking times? You bet I’ll be there not a minute later! I am extremely passionate about animals and their families when healthy environments are provided for their pets!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Balltown is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 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 499 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Balltown. 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 Balltown. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
