“Jennifer was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my cat, going above and beyond to provide Leia with sweet cuddles during the visit. I know she appreciated the great care too!”
About: I have a lot of time to devote and spend with your fur babies. I have experience with older dogs needs and cats needs as far as medications and special care. I am a pretty quiet and calm person which I think helps the animals feel a little more relaxed when their human parents are gone. I work part-time from 10-2, so I have plenty of time in the mornings and afternoon/evenings to care for and look after your pets! I love walking with dogs and my dog is aged and doesn't like the longer walks now. I am available to stay with your fur babies for the night times as well so they aren't lonely and helps reduce yours and their anxieties. I am also experienced in giving meds to dogs if required. My time is very flexible for drop in walks, cuddles, pets and overall checking on your pets. I know as a pet owner myself, reliability, dependability and safety are my main concerns when leaving my animals to go out of town. I will also communicate consistently with you and give you updates on your fur babies while you are gone.
“Meghan was great! Our kitty needed some someone to play with and pet her while we were away, and Meghan stopped by and spent some quality time with her. I know Aspen appreciated her drop-ins, and we’re so grateful that Meghan was able to come be her friend for a little bit while we were away.”
“Alison- she did an amazing, over the too job! She was super attentive and willing to be there when we needed her to be!! She went above and beyond for our boy and we cannot wait to have her help us out more!!”

It is always good to get the holidays set up way in advance as a good pet sitter is hard to find at that time of year. Please feel free to reach out and check with me for anything you are not sure of. I am able to do days, weeks or months at a time. I provide in home pet care. I have a day job working from home. My day job does allow me to come to you and your pet in your home so that your fur babies can be less stressed by their humans absence.

I have raised dogs all my life with my first pup showing up at the age of 8. I work remotely so my time is quite flexible. I have also done some dog training along with showing dogs for a short time frame. I simply love dogs, cats & horses.

“Once again Michelle did a fantastic job! Our dogs love her so much and it feels so nice knowing she is caring for them while we are gone! Especially love the daily updates and photos she sends our way!”
“Love, love, love Jennifer!!! She is amazing! She’s so patient with our elderly little girl. She goes above and beyond for extra little things for us! She will be my primary booking for sure!”
“Taylor was great to work with and took good care of our cat, Gabby, for 2 drop-in visits, while we were away visiting with family. Definitely would use her again if we need a cat visit while staying in Sebring!!”
“Cassandra was awesome dropping in for home visits with our two big and energetic dogs for a long weekend. We always have a little anxiety leaving them at home for more than a day, but Cassandra took such good care of them and kept us updated with pictures during each visit. We really appreciated the constant communication and will definitely choose Cassandra to take care of our dogs in the future.”
About: I am comfortable dealing with all sizes and personalities of dogs and cats. I've always had pets throughout my life from Newfoundlands to kittens. Im currently working part time to pay for my expenses. More than enough time to keep the fur babies very happy. I prefer mornings but can be flexible. Babysitting the doggo is no issue for me. I have enough experience to know what to expect. Can't do it at my domicile though.
About: I’ve kept my grand dogs for years and have stayed overnight for several friends on multiple occasions . I have references that talk and bark 😁 I am retired so my schedule is very flexible. I can stay overnight and am usually available on weekends with advance notice. I love snuggles! I ask for an idea of what their day is like and try to follow it as much as possible. I have kept all ages and don’t mind giving medicine or potty training. I live going on walks also!
“Paislee is very attentive and communicates great! I am excited to book her again. Both of my cats love her and one is very hard to warm up to people. She is wonderful and I highly recommend!”
“Natalie was highly recommended when our usual Rover was out of town and I am so grateful for the recommendation! She was a perfect fit our ten year old grumpy, but so loved cat Frederick!! On time, updated photos and kept him on his schedule!! 😊”
About: I've been dog sitting for 9 years and absolutely love it! Whether it’s quick drop-ins for walks and meals, giving meds, or hanging out with a whole pack of pets, I’ve got it covered. I’ve done everything from weekend stays to long vacations, and I always treat your pets like part of the family. Snuggles, belly rubs, and happy tails are guaranteed! In Huntsville temporarily as I prepare to move to Australia in December... how does that work with my schedule? Well, I have a ton of time on my hands between my small projects to come care for your pets. I am extremely flexible and can make almost any day/time work! When caring for pets in and out of your home, I prioritize safety and trust with you and your pets by providing dependable, loving support tailored to your pet’s needs. No matter the need (overnight stays, drop-in visits, walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, administering medication) I’m flexible in my care style! If you prefer a structured routine or a more relaxed, intuitive approach, I'm able to adapt to what works best for your pet. My goal is to always keep them comfortable, happy, and feeling at home while you’re away, and ensuring you feel connected with your pets by sharing updates and photos during each visit!
“Bobby did a fantastic job dropping in to take care of our two German Shepherds. We used him for 3 days total and he dropped in as requested. He came an extra time just to make sure they were well taken care of and were able to use the bathroom. We will be using Bobby going forward for all our needs as long as he is available and will have us. When he came to drop off the garage door opener, the two of them went sprinting for him. They were barking in a high playful pitch because they loved him so much. Highly recommend!!!”
“Amy did drop in visits for us with our dogs this weekend.She did a wonderful job.Dogs were happy and well cared for . Our dogs are so excited when she comes and sits next to the door waiting for her. She works with us and always positive!”

Kayla was wonderful to check in on our pup while we were away! She really put our minds at ease by making sure to become familiar with her personality and patterns. She went above and beyond to consistently communicate how she was doing and really went the extra mile to take extra great care of her!
Cynthia is an absolutely wonderful sitter! She is respectful, kind, and genuinely caring. She sent daily photos and videos of our cat, which gave us so much peace of mind. Thanks to her, our vacation was completely worry-free. We will definitely book with her again—highly recommend! 💖

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Big Cove is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $32 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 692 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Big Cove. 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 Big Cove. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
