About: "I have a deep love for animals and years of experience caring for pets. Family and friends have always trusted me to watch, feed, walk, and love their dogs. I specialize in providing a calm, structured, and incredibly safe environment for small and medium adult dogs. Your pup will receive constant attention, plenty of playtime, and treated just like family while staying with me." "I currently work part-time, which gives me a very steady routine and plenty of open flexibility to be home with your dog. I am always mindful of my time management to ensure your pet gets consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and lots of individual attention. I have plenty of dedicated time to play, go for walks, and make sure your pup feels completely safe, happy, and pampered while you are away." Safety is my highest priority when caring for your pet. My home is a clean, calm, and smoke-free environment with plenty of open space for small and medium dogs to feel entirely at ease. I maintain a secure setup to ensure no escapes, provide constant direct supervision, and strictly follow any specific care, feeding, or routine instructions you provide to keep your pup happy and safe."

About: I’ve cared for pets for family, friends, and neighbors, providing dependable and personalized care while they were at work, on vacation, or away from home. My experience includes drop-in visits, dog walks, potty breaks, feeding, refreshing water, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I always take the time to learn their needs and give them the attention, patience, and affection they deserve. My goal is to make every pet feel loved while giving owners peace of mind that they’re in caring and reliable hands. Pet sitting fits naturally into my schedule, allowing me to provide dependable and attentive care throughout the week. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walks, potty breaks, and overnight care depending on your needs. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to. I always make reliability a priority and communicate with owners to ensure their pets stay on their normal routine. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special routines so pets experience as little disruption as possible. I provide plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and mental stimulation while maintaining a clean, secure environment. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos, so they can relax knowing their pet is happy and well cared for while they’re away.

Laura was awesome! I highly recommend her as she is very conscience and caring towards the needs of all animals. She took great care of our elderly cat while we were away for an 8 day vacation. Laura went above and beyond to vacuum up litter, collect our mail, take out garbage and water plants that family members forgot to attend to. She also made sure the back yard visiting birds had plenty of fresh water. She provides 5 star service and care!

About: Caring for animals has been a constant part of my life. I grew up in a home that always had two dogs at a time, and before moving out, my family had raised six wonderful dogs together. From energetic pups to older companions, I’ve experienced the full range of what it means to care for dogs through different stages of life. I currently share my home with two special-needs cats, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. Managing medications, monitoring behavior changes, and creating a calm, safe environment are all things I take seriously. My primary goal when caring for your pet is simple: I want them to feel happy, secure, and relaxed while you’re away. I also know how important peace of mind is for owners. I’m communicative, reliable, and happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and cared for. I treat every animal with gentleness, respect, and the kind of attention I would want for my own pets. I work remotely in IT for a nonprofit organization, which gives me a very flexible weekday schedule. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy having some furry company during the week. Whether that means a midday walk to break up my workday or a fuzzy companion nearby while I’m at my desk. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to structure my schedule around walks, feeding times, medication needs, or check-ins. Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches, and you can expect consistent updates while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your routines and instructions carefully. I follow feeding schedules, medication needs, walking routines, and house rules closely so your pet’s world feels as consistent and familiar as possible while you’re away. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident everything is going smoothly. If your pet stays in my home, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. They will have their own dedicated space in my finished basement office that is clean, hazard-free, and separate from my cats. This allows visiting pets to relax without feeling overwhelmed, and ensures everyone stays safe and stress-free. The space includes a comfortable couch just for them, plenty of room to stretch out, and a calm environment away from household noise. I’m home during the day, so they’ll receive regular supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention, balanced with quiet time to rest.

About: I rescued my own dog from a shelter, and she required a lot of special training and patience. I worked with her on socialization, leash walking, and reducing pulling and barking around other dogs, and I have successfully helped her improve in all of these areas. Since she was a puppy when I adopted her, I also have experience with the patience, consistency, and care that younger dogs require. In addition, I care for a senior dog, so I am experienced in recognizing when a dog has reached their physical limit during walks and understanding how to adjust care based on their needs. Having experience with both younger and older dogs, as well as both large and small breeds, has taught me how to handle dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and training levels with confidence and care. I am currently in school but there are only three days a week I am completely booked with classes. My Mondays and Fridays and weekends are completely open and would love to spend my free time around more dogs! I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets while they are in my care. Since I live in an apartment, I make sure the space is pet-friendly, secure, and free of anything that could be harmful to animals. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, exercise, and any special instructions from the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety during walks, monitor pets closely around other animals, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, patience, and affection. I also provide updates and communication so owners feel reassured while their pets are in my care.

About: One of my first pets ever was a black and white cat named Simba, who was referred to as my sibling. In recent years I have taken care of my family dog, Tank, a small dog who lives up to his name. I have also cared for friend’s pets when they are out of town for weeks at a time. Pets are part of the family and I understand how deep the love is! I have such a respect for all animals and look forward to caring for your little sweeties :) I am currently working on a hybrid schedule that allows me flexibility during the day. I can be available for quick visits, walks and longer stays. I live in a dog friendly apartment complex with many grassy areas. I also love going on walks at nearby trails or taking dogs to parks. Cuddles are always welcome, but I also respect dogs that want their space.

About: I’ve had dogs as pets my whole life and I currently have three. My responsibility’s with my dogs are to take them out and on walks, feed them, give them water, play with them, and give them lots of love! I’m looking for a job opportunity to help me pay college expenses and to get work experience. I just graduated high school so I have a lot more free time. A few days during the week I go over to my dads to take the dogs out in the afternoons, to give them water, and to let them out and to play as well. I’m available for walks and for drop in visits starting in the late morning and also afternoons. I can stay for as long as you need me to stay so that your dog has enough time to play and be properly cared for. In my home, I provide and encourage dog safe toys and put away things that could cause harm or get damaged. I provide time for play and also rest. I also provide fresh water and to take them out when needed. If your dog goes in a crate then I am more than capable of handling that as I have done that with my dogs in the past and currently.

Sara is amazing. She followed my instructions and she kept in touch with me on how our old lady was doing. She used good judgment with regard to the poor air quality and heat by limiting the time our dog was out. She paid attention to our dog as well. I desperately wish she lived closer to us and am so thankful that she was able to come to our home. I highly recommend her and believe anyone who gets to have her take care of their pets is very lucky. She also has excellent work ethics.

About: Hi, I'm Kait! Growing up, my family always had at least two dogs in our house at all times. I have experience in everything from medication administering, daily dog walks and overnight stays while owners are out of town, to feeding goats and collecting peacock eggs. I can guarantee that I will love and care for your furry friend(s) as if they were my own! PLEASE NOTE: I work full time M-F from 9-5. I'm always available after 6pm. I'm available Saturday/Sunday any time! My work schedule *sometimes* varies week to week, so please ask me about my schedule before booking! I am also available July 4 :) I can only care for pets at your own home. I have experience with both staying overnight with pets and making visits throughout the day, so I can provide pet care any way you prefer! I know how difficult it can be to leave pets, so I try my best to ensure your pets will be as comfortable as they can be. (& please know that NO request is too much or weird for me- I have read dogs books before bed and tucked them in, per owners' request!)

Stephanie was wonderful! She kept me updated and clearly communicated throughout the visit with my two pups. She was extremely patient as one dog is nervous and reluctant to come out for strangers. Thank you Stephanie!! I appreciate your time!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Bethany on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 3,060 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Bethany. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bethany stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bethany choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Bethany with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bethany. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
