“Shelby did a great job walking Lexi while we were gone for the day. She was right on time and let us know Lexi was doing well. We will definately use Shelby again.”
About: Throughout my life I have owned and currently own many pets. I am a huge animal lover and enjoy spending time with them. No matter whose pet I’m taking care of, I treat them like my own. Paying attention to a pets individual needs is one of my top priorities. I’m attentive, reliable and love to communicate and keep people updated so owners feel confident. I am currently a student in cosmetology, so I am free after 4:30 on Fridays and Mondays. On Saturday I am usually completely free ! I just need to be told in advance about walking/ pet sitting. I treat every pet like they are my own while also respecting their home and routine. I follow feeding, walking, playtime instructions and make sure they receive plenty of affection. I will keep their space clean and comfortable and leave the home just as I found it.
“Kathrine was outstanding, so calming and kind. Hank was well cared for and comfortable while we were gone. She communicated well. So thankful I found Kathrine! I highly recommend her!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Megan! It was our first time having someone come by for our pup, and she immediately put our minds at ease with how smooth and easy she made everything. She went above and beyond to make sure he ate his food, even though he’s used to eating only when we're home. We will definitely ask her to care for Bingo again and highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Luna loves Sophia. I can tell thru the pics that Luna is well taken care. I see them playing together, sitting in the sun. This is our second time with Sophia and no doubt it will not be our last. I don’t worry about Luna when I’m gone. I get great notes telling me all of what’s going on. We will definitely call her again next time!!!”
“Marybeth is great at communicating and is reliable. We were so pleased with how our dogs did with her a few months ago and rebooked with her again- another great experience!”
“Amy is an exceptional dog sitter and we recommend her without reservation! She provided wonderfully loving and attentive care for our pack: Moose, Jackie, and Lucy. It was clear from her daily updates that she was truly enjoying her time with them. She managed the needs of all three (including their different personalities!) with professionalism and great care. We felt such a huge sense of relief knowing our dogs were safe and happy. If you need a reliable, caring sitter, book Amy immediately!”
“Anna was a great sitter! During her drop in visits she took lots of pictures and cleaned up our pup when he got into some dirt. She was responsive and easy to work with.”
“Samantha was amazing! She agreed to drop in visits for our two dogs, THE DAY OF, when another sitter fell through. She was attentive, provided details of every visit, and even brought in our mail unsolicited. I can't recommend her highly enough!”
About: I’m a professional grooming salon manager with a lifelong passion for both dogs and cats. While my primary expertise is in canine grooming, I also have extensive experience caring for felines and understand their unique personalities and needs. I believe every pet deserves gentle, knowledgeable care, and I bring that philosophy to every client I work with. At home, I care for four amazing dogs: two Chihuahuas, a German Shepherd, and a Miniature Schnauzer. I also have an 8-year-old cat named Cassie, who has been with me since she was a kitten. Each of them has their own distinct temperament, and they’ve taught me how to approach every pet with patience, compassion, and respect. My hands-on experience with a variety of breeds and personalities allows me to provide calm, personalized care tailored to both dogs and cats. I currently work full-time as the manager of a grooming salon, where I’m dedicated to providing high-quality care and service to both pets and their owners. I’m now looking to take on additional work during my free time to earn extra income doing what I love most — caring for animals. With a deep passion for my own pets and a genuine love for animals of all kinds, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m deeply committed to the well-being of animals and will always go above and beyond to ensure they receive the care and compassion they deserve. With extensive knowledge of pet care and grooming needs, I bring both experience and dedication to every animal I work with. Whether it’s providing grooming services or general care, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
“Very accommodating and took amazing care of my cat. For a cat with separation anxiety and will pee on things when left alone too long as well as scream at you when you come back home, she was pretty calm and very happy upon my arrival. Thank you so much Isabel!”
About: Leaving your beloved pet with someone is never easy but you can rest assured they will be in great hands and very well taken care of with our family! We've taken care of all types of animals (young and old/big and small). Family and friends have relied on me for years to watch, feed, walk, bathe and cuddle their animals when they are away. We have two boys (age 13 and 9) that are amazing with all animals and will give your pet lots of love and attention during their stay. Our most recent dog was 14 years old and sick for quite some time which required extra senior pup care and attention. Currently we do not have a dog of our own but have turtles, a tree frog and a chameleon (all in enclosures). My number one priority is not only that your dog is safe and happy but also that you have a stress free time away knowing they feel at home in our home. Both my kids are in school full time so I'd be happy to help on weekdays for walking services, drop ins or doggy day care. Weekends will be available on a case by case basis unless obviously it's for boarding services. If dropping your pet at my home, I have a fenced yard and a wonderful walking trail in my neighborhood for outdoor exercise for your pet.
“Victoria was so sweet with my cats while I was on vacation. They are shy around strangers, but they came around for some pets when she came over which says a lot. I never had to worry about them because I knew they were being well looked after. I would gladly use her services again.”
About: I have had pets throughout my life. I enjoyed working with cats and dogs especially. I also had goats that we cared for as well. As a Nebraska native, I have lived around peacocks, roosters, chickens and a whole wide range of different animals. I am available various times throughout the day. I am currently a pickup and drop off for my 3 children (who also love animals). I can meet your needs as long as I have time to to my pickup and drop offs. I have a fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood where we can take our walks. I currently have a cat and fish.
“Hannah made me feel so safe leaving our puppies during a really hard time in our lives. We were in the process of moving but had to be at a wedding. Our dogs were freaked out about the total lack of anything in our house & then their parents left of top of that??? Hannah swooped in and ensured that with each visit she sent incredibly detailed information about their activities, what she did to take care of them & at least 4 pictures :) what a relief. I could not recommend Hannah highly enough. 5 stars seems too few ❤️”
“Took excellent care of our 2 cats while on our first vacation together. Took lots of pictures which was great and played with them. Was very responsive and thoughtful. 10/10 will try to book again for next vacation.”

Kaytlin is awesome! She was so kind and patient with our senior dog. Trusted her to take care of him multiple times on multiple occasions for potty breaks, feeding, and scratches. She always arrives when we need her to and she clearly communicates the status. She’s great and we will continue to use her services as long as we have our dog!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bartonville is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $24 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 8,367 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bartonville. 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 Bartonville. On Rover:
- 87% 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.
