“Danielle was wonderful with my cats. She was able to pill Bing and apply cream to Catsy's ear. She also spent the time to play with them and sent me cute pictures. I highly recommend her to take care of your babies 😊”
“Dani is an awesome sitter! My pups loved her instantly, even Kahlua, who is super shy, loved her from the start. Dani was thorough, asked questions to gauge their needs, took lots of pics, and kept me posted during my trip. Highly recommend her (and her son :D) without hesitation! I’m very happy and will def book with her again.”
“Dana was absolutely fantastic with our two cats. Such peace of mind! She even managed to give one of them the asthma inhaler which I wasn’t sure our cat would accept from someone else than me. Highly recommend!”
About: On top of taking care of my on dogs and cats, I also foster kittens! I treat my pets as family, and will do the same for yours. Big, small, and in between, I have plenty of experience from chihuahuas to mastiffs. With my kids being older and independent, they can drive themselves and no longer need me to be tied to a busy schedule of school drop-offs and activities. This gives me a lot of flexibility and open availability throughout the week to care for pets. I’m able to work around your pet’s routine and give them the attention, playtime, and care they need. I’m also flexible with scheduling and happy to accommodate your pet’s individual needs whenever possible. I provide loving, attentive care while following their normal routines and your specific instructions. I’m careful to keep pets safe and your home secure and clean, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for.
About: I am new to Rover, but not new to pet sitting. I know that pets are more like family than pets and I treat them that way! I love to be trusted to care for your beloved pet! If you want your pet to have a loving and fun experience, I am your gal! I am very flexible and my schedule is open. I am a stay at home mom and property manager. I do have errands and school pick up but mostly work from home. I am off on most weekends and holidays. I walk pets twice a day, feed twice a day, and have them go out to potty 2-3 times, unless told otherwise! We are a very easy going, pet loving family! I have a large fenced in yard and a small dog that would love to have some fur friends to play with. I also have older children that will be helping with giving walks and love.
“Lauren was fantastic with our Barni dog and Fredi cat! Lauren went out of her way to pre-visit to get them familiar. She arrived on time for every visit with Plenty of play and belly rubs. Barni enjoyed her walking him as well. Lauren is highly recommended! We will definitely have her watching again! Thank you again Lauren- Vicki 😊🐶🐱”
About: Hi! I’m Madison, and I’ve always had a love for animals. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds, including dogs, cats, fish, frogs, and other small pets, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, so I make it my goal to give them the same love, attention, and care that I would give my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾💕 One of the best parts about pet sitting is that I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! My schedule is very flexible, so I’m available most days, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Whether you’re planning a trip, need a last-minute sitter, or just want someone to check in on your pet, I’d be happy to help. I love spending time with animals and look forward to giving your pets lots of love, attention, and care!💓🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, love, and supervision while in my care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I currently have a puppy of my own and have had both a cat and a dog. Ive learned how to properly take care of them and make sure they feeling happy and safe. I currently have a part time job but I am flexible. If you're interested in having me as a caretaker for your pet you can contact me for more info on my schedule. I will make sure to create a safe and comfortable environment for your dog so that he/she can trust me and follow the rules given to make sure your dog is safe and comfortable
About: I’ve raised my dogs from puppies to seniors. I have experience with dogs that are reactive and might yell a little when new people come to their home. I love large dogs, especially ones that think they fit in your lap! I work from home, part-time, and with flexible hours so pet care fits easily into my weekly schedule. I do have regular health appointments, but those are known well in advance for scheduling. Up front, I am physically disabled; I can take your dog out to use the bathroom, but I cannot take them on proper walks. Everything else is fair game. Your dog will still get lots of play time, treats, cuddles, and attention while I care for them :) As for cats, don’t worry, I can still scoop the litter box!
“Kali took great care of our boys. She was always quick to reply to messages, showed up exactly when requested and kept our pups happy, well fed, loved, and exercised while we were away. We will definitely be using her again next time!”
About: Hello Neighbors! 👋 I’m Shelly, your local neighbor and a lifelong animal lover. I’m a proud stay-at-home mom currently with two children. One school-aged and one 18 months old, which means my days are centered in our community and I have dedicated availability during school hours to help you! My mission is to give your pets the attention and care they deserve during the day, so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re at work or away. To me, pets are not just animals; they are central, beloved members of our families, and they should be treated with utmost respect and love. What sets me apart is my ability to cater to pets with specific needs, IE: puppy care and training or Senior Care and Medication Admin. My goal is to make life easier for you and happier for your pets. I prioritize transparancy and comfort for you and your furr babies. I will send regular photo updates and give meds, food , water, a walk and playtime or training . I highly encoureage meet and greets beforehand to ensure everyone feels comfortagle and happy. I can give your pet 3 to 4 potty breaks a day depending on what they need. Typically morning, noon , and night. They would be taken out three times around 6-9a , 12-4p, 6-10p again just depends on what your pet is used to. They will be fed at whatever your specified time is. And usually after 6p is all cuddles and play if being boarded in my home. I have a fenced yard, and two friendly dogs of my own. My dogs are crate trained and can be crated if they need to to ensure your pet feels safe in my home.
About: Your animal will receive plenty of affection, treats, and playtime. I have spent about five years babysitting and caring for animals. Because my neighbors foster cats frequently, I have handled many kittens and bottle feeding, and I have provided proper care for any animals found on the streets, ensuring they receive the necessary treatments and medications. I enjoy giving animals the attention they deserve, playing with them, and learning their needs; I believe an open mind is essential for understanding what they truly want. I recognize that every animal is different, so I apply my best effort to accommodate any animal’s needs. I can assure you that your furry companion will enjoy time with me. Your furry friend will have a blast with me. I’m currently a swim instructor at aquatics for you. I teach babies the basic survival skills of how to swim and float. I’m also attending HCC right now to pursue a degree in diagnostic sonographer. I just graduated from Riverview high school where I played volleyball for six years club and school season. I love going outdoors playing soccer and volleyball. I also enjoy listening to music and dancing. I believe life is way too short, so you have to soak in every moment that you can. I’ll make sure that every animal dog or cat is completely put in a safe and welcoming environment. I think every animal just wants affection and love and they definitely will receive that with me. Any expectations or rules that are given to me will be followed to the T. there are no excuses for any sort of disrespectful or bad behavior on my end. I’ll make sure to provide any service that you would like.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Balm
Sara did an exceptional job caring for our cats! She spent so much extra time with them, kept their food, water, and litter boxes clean, and was incredibly communicative throughout our trip. She sent photos and updates after every visit and truly went above and beyond, even helping with a few things around the house. We felt completely at ease knowing our cats were in such good hands. We highly recommend Sara to anyone looking for a thoughtful, attentive, and reliable sitter!
★★★★★ I had such a wonderful experience with her caring for my cat through drop-in visits! She did an amazing job, followed all of my instructions perfectly, and was incredibly attentive and reliable. She went above and beyond to make sure my cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing everything was taken care of. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. I will definitely book with her again! ❤️🐾
I HIGHLY recommend Allexis. She has a warm and welcoming personality. She was able to accept my last-minute booking request before I left for a multi-day trip. My fur baby loved her when they met during the meet and greet. And she left a doggie “treat bag.” 😊 I plan to book her again next month.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Balm is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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 6,867 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Balm. 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 Balm. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
