Meaghan was great with communication and I can tell that she gave a good amount of attention to our cats while we were away. We greatly appreciate the clean-up when we got home. I will certainly rebook with her the next time we need a sitter.

About: I love interacting with pets and getting to know their personalities! I'm getting over the loss of my dog, and taking care of your fur baby will give me the love I'm missing from mine. I'm currently working in management full-time, I have flexibility to take half days and can be available M-F 3pm-8pm. I'm free almost every weekend 5am-7pm or overnight boarding in my home. I have a zip line to tether to if needed, my yard is not fenced in. I live in a quiet neighborhood with very little traffic; it's a dead end street. I'm happy to crate your pet if needed. I am willing to explore local dog parks if permitted. I also enjoy longer walks if your pup is up for it! I can let your pet out for potty breaks several times a day and provide play time, too. I'm happy to follow any specific training protocols you are working through for consistency!

About: I’ve worked in animal care for years now and have taken care of my own pets for years before that. I have experience with a huge variety of sizes and breeds! I’m well versed in animal behavior and temperaments. I’ve worked with puppies all the way up to senior pets who may need a little extra care or attention. I have my own pets as well and have a deep understanding how much they can mean to us. I’m currently working on my certificate for dog grooming! I have yet to start school but this is a dream I’ve had for a while now. At the moment, I’m almost completely open for sitting. I think enrichment is very important for pets. For dogs, getting outside is a must. Many breeds require a lot of stimulation throughout the day in order to stay healthy in mind and body alike. For cats, some are independent players and toys are a must. Others may like to play with a person and that’s an activity that’s very important for them. I personally feed my animals once in the morning, once at night. My dog typically gets at least one walk a day and I make sure to take him out 2-3 times a day for potty breaks. Or even more if he lets me know he has to go. My one cat is an independent player so I leave her toys in her favorite places.

Renee is our go to sitter!! As someone who does this as well, there is no one we trust more than her!! She is always quick to respond and always fits us into her schedule whenever possible! She is warm, friendly, and you can really tell that she cares about animals. Our 3 beagles just love her, and they can be really cautious around people. We are so happy to have found Renee to care for our little furry loved ones while we are away! You really can’t go wrong with her! Thank you so much Renee!!

About: Hi! I’m Jenny, a lifelong dog lover who truly believes our pets are part of the family. 🐾 I’m a caring, responsible, and attentive pet sitter who would love the opportunity to care for your dog while you’re away or give them some extra love and exercise during the day. I’m also a proud dog mom to two dogs of my own. A Great Dane and a Lab/Pit mix! Having dogs with very different personalities, sizes, and energy levels has given me plenty of hands-on experience understanding that every dog has their own unique needs and routine. I offer drop-in visits, dog walks & house sitting, and I’m happy to tailor my care to your dog’s individual personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup loves a long walk, needs some playtime and attention, or simply wants someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand how important it is to feel confident when someone else is caring for your pet. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages during each visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is doing well. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, or care instructions. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! 🐶❤️ Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own, a Great Dane and a Lab/Pit mix. I’m used to staying on a consistent schedule with walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I have flexibility in my schedule to accommodate drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting, and I’m able to plan my week around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and schedule. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while making sure to follow their normal routine and any specific instructions from their owner. I have two dogs of my own so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on making sure pets get the exercise, attention, potty breaks, food, and fresh water they need. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and will always keep them clean and secure. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of my family dog until he passed. He was 16yrs old. I also take care of my sisters dog. He is a Husky/ German Shepard mix. My dog recently passed and I miss walking him. His daily walks were 7am and 6:30pm. I’m also opened to walking your dog on weekends. I have a huge fenced yard and a one floor home to reduce stair climbing for senior dogs. I have a car seat for small dogs and do enjoy taking them on DQ runs with the owners permission.

About: I’ve taken care of our own, family and friends dogs since I was a kid. I previously worked with a dog walking company in college. I currently have my own, a 3-year-old Cavapoo named Berlioz who I adore. I look forward to hopefully meeting your furry friend! My schedule is pretty flexible right now. I am working part-time, so I can be available whenever needed. I prefer weekdays, but am willing to do weekends. Timing is flexible as well :) I have a fenced-in yard, and two dogs at the house. They are both under 20 pounds, but friendly. I can also keep dogs separated if needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Big Rock on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,558 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Big Rock. 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 Big Rock 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.

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 Rock. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
