About: I enjoy all breads, especially the howling hounds! I believe it takes a patient heart to care for animals. We really have to pay attention to their body language and behaviors to make sure they are happy and healthy. I’ll be what your pupper looks forward to when you’re away! Emergency last minute trip? I’m just a call away. I have very flexible hours, and you can reach me on my cell by text, call, or voicemail. My specialties include but are not limited to; exercising, calming anxiety, potty breaks (using positive reinforcement for pups in training) I am home most days and have a large yard for your pup to play. I also have a park near by I can take them for longer walks.

About: I have always loved all animals! I've had experience with both small and large dogs breeds, as well as cats and a few other animals. If you have any special requests for your pet just let me know. Your baby will be very well taken care of. Please contact me if you would like to know anything else and I look forward to spending time with your four legged babies! I’m currently a stay at home mom taking care of my own two dogs, two cats, and fish. Being that I don’t work, my availability is very flexible! However, my daughter will be assisting me with taking care of your babies. I would love to come spend some time with your fur babies! I love playing with, cuddling, or just spending time with any animal (Though cuddles are the best)

About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, and other pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve worked with everything from high-energy puppies to senior pets that require extra patience and attention. My experience includes feeding, walking, administering basic medications, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every animal like my own and prioritize their routine, safety, and happiness. I am currently a stay at home pet mom! I am in the Indiana national guard, so I have tons of free time! I have two pets of my own, with very simple schedules! I’m very good a paying attention to what your fur baby will need. I’m also more then happy to potty train and teach tricks to any pups needing assistance!

About: I have been taking care of animals since a child. I also have had pets of my own, currently I have a dog. I have taken care of my neighbors pets before as well as family members. I currently have a lot of time on my hands. I am online at college so my schedule is pretty flexible. My days are pretty much free for a while. I live in an apartment so at home sitting wouldn’t work for the time being. I do not mind coming to pet sit in the comfort of the owners home.

About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every dog like family. I have three sweet, well-loved pups of my own—a playful 1-year-old shepherd husky, a gentle 5-year-old black lab— & the sweetest 1 year old Corgi, so I understand different energy levels, personalities, and care needs. I’ve raised 2 of them since they were puppies, which gave me hands-on experience with puppy training, routines, and positive reinforcement, as well as providing calm, patient care for more mature dogs. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first, whether that means structured playtime, relaxing cuddle time, or keeping routines consistent to reduce stress. I’m attentive, dependable, and genuinely love building trust with both pets and their owners so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I am currently a full time stay home dog mama. My entire days revolve around my fur babies since my schedule is completely open. I’ve loved dogs my whole life and I’ve recently moved to the area from Colorado and went from an apartment to a house with a big yard so most of my days are spent outside with the fur babies. I do have a very large fully fenced in backyard and my dogs pretty much come in & out as they please. They have a large water bowl outside that is always filled and I spend time working with them and giving treats throughout the day as well.

About: grew up riding horses and caring for animals of all kinds. Throughout my life I’ve owned and cared for horses, dogs, cats, goats, sheep, chickens, ducks, and other farm animals. Growing up on a farm taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand animals’ different needs and personalities. I also grew up in a family that bred and raised championship-line German Shepherds, giving me experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I currently own a German Shepherd and understand the importance of exercise, structure, consistency, and plenty of love and attention. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, playtime, feeding, medication, or just companionship while you’re away, I will care for them as if they were my own. I am a stay at home mom at the moment, with one baby and one dog. I am in school for personal training and I go to the gym in the morning, walking and caring for dogs will get me out of the house and around animals I love. I currently have a German shepherd who gets let out as often as he wants, I also take him for 30-60 minute walks a day, I will care for your pets as if they are my own. And respect how you want them cared for.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. I also worked at a pet store for five years, where I gained valuable experience working with and caring for animals. My lifelong love for pets, combined with my hands-on experience, has taught me how important it is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care! I’m home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets lots of love and attention! I have a 2-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who loves playing and making new dog friends. Your pup can enjoy plenty of companionship, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I’d love to welcome your fur babies into our home and treat them like family! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I have a fenced-in backyard with a doggy door for easy access, giving pups the freedom to go outside for potty breaks and playtime throughout the day. I provide a loving, clean, and comfortable home where your fur babies will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and affection.

About: I was born and raised with St Bernard’s, Irish Setters and miniature poodles as well mutts, ducks, cats, birds etc. I have continued to have pets in my life through my adulthood. The last of my pack of 5 has now past away. I love dogs so much I volunteer in the pet community and have a non profit to help educate, maintain and build off leash dog parks. Responsible pet ownership is very important to me. As someone who had a pack of 5, all sizes, breds and ages and health, understand the need to have someone you trust care for your pet, at least as good as you would!! Rescue, special needs and seniors have a special place in my heart ❤️🐾 I look forward to meeting you and your fur family!! I have a flexible schedule working remotely from my home. I usually know what I have to be in front of the computer for at least a week in advance and work around where I need to be and when. Because I work remotely I am able to stay with your pet. Let’s set up a meet and greet to get to know each other before you need my services. Your fur family is a priority. I love to share time with your family. If they want to play, or snuggle or just know someone is there. I am flexible. I work remotely the majority of the time giving me the opportunity to be with your pets the majority of the time. I also limit the amount of other families I care for at one time, so I can give more of my attention to your family. I follow your rules, or example allowing them or not on furniture, specific snacks, or okay time routines. If you allow I’d love to snuggle with them through the night in bed with me.

About: Hi there! My name is Avery, and I’m excited to offer reliable, loving pet care to anyone who needs a helping hand with their furry family members. Whether you’re looking for dog walking, drop-in visits, or house sitting, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Walks can include fun neighborhood strolls, playtime, and plenty of potty breaks, and drop-ins come with feeding, fresh water, enrichment, and lots of attention. I have years of personal experience caring for dogs and other pets, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your animals. I always treat every pet like my own—patient, gentle, and respectful of their needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I’m confident working with all temperaments. I’m available as many hours as possible, with a flexible schedule that allows me to spend plenty of quality time with your pets. Because I’m able to adjust my hours around clients, I can be there for regular walks, last-minute needs, or longer stays. You can count on me for consistent communication, photo updates, and dependable service every single visit. I’d love the chance to care for your pets and give them all the love and attention they deserve. Feel free to reach out—I’m happy to answer any questions and meet you and your pets! 🐾💛 Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I build my schedule around the pets I work with. I have a very flexible availability, which allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day—whether that means morning walks, mid-day drop-ins, evening visits, or extended stays. I’m able to adjust my day to meet each pet’s needs, making sure they get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I plan my routine so that I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins, and I never rush through visits. I prioritize communication with pet parents and keep a steady rhythm of updates and photos. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so it never feels like a chore—it’s a regular, happy part of my life. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and consistent environment that helps every pet feel secure and relaxed. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including their feeding schedule, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care instructions you provide. I always take the time to learn your pet’s likes, dislikes, and comfort needs so they feel right at home.

About: I grew up on a farm raising all sorts of livestock and pets, and then joined the army. Later, I studied pre-vet and received my fear free pets certification, showing my training with animals with anxiety as well. I live and breathe for my pets, plants, and family. We wake up and immediately my animals get fed and Maggie (dog) let outside, then we proceed with our day! Always will be at least one hour of outdoor play time a day, not including potty breaks. I will be able to host your pet in a separate area of my home if need be. I am fear free pet certified and have had a diabetic dog, therefore I know how to administer insulin/shots. I can also provide an area no other animals will be around if needed, Along with pheromone diffusers to calm your pet under anxiety.

She drooped in three times a day with our girls for several days and she was always on time. She played, fed, watered and loved them. She also was so good about sending pictures and letting me know how my girls were doing. Everything was very clean when I came back home. I highly recommend her and I will be using her again.”

Aaron has watched Zeus of us a couple of times now and each time has been a wonderful experience. Aaron is always very prompt with responses and communicating. I’m always sent pictures of Zeus while Aaron is caring for him as well as letting me know how he was while he’s here and if there was any interesting or important information he thought I should know. He tries to make sure to send pictures to go along with the notes as well.

Baylee was absolutely amazing with all three of my dogs! I honestly could not have asked for a better sitter. Taking care of three dogs at the same time is definitely not an easy job, especially because each of my dogs has a different personality and needs, but Baylee handled everything so well. From the very beginning, Baylee was kind, patient, responsible, and very attentive to my dogs. She made me feel comfortable leaving them in her care, and I could tell right away that she genuinely cared about them rather than simply treating it like a job. My dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. One of the things I appreciated the most was how attentive Baylee was to each individual dog. She took the time to understand their personalities and made sure they were comfortable and safe. She was also very reliable about following all of my instructions and taking care of everything exactly as I asked. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing that my dogs were in good hands while I was away. Baylee also did a great job communicating with me. She kept me updated and made sure I knew how the dogs were doing, which was especially reassuring when I was away from home. It was obvious that she was paying attention to them and making sure they were doing well. Most importantly, my dogs clearly loved having her around. When someone takes care of three dogs, I think you can really tell whether they genuinely enjoy being around animals, and Baylee definitely does. She was so caring and gentle with them, and I could tell my dogs felt comfortable and safe with her. I am extremely grateful for how well she took care of all three of my babies. Finding someone I can trust with three dogs is not easy, but I would absolutely trust Baylee with them again without hesitation. She went above and beyond, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much, Baylee, for taking such great care of my three babies! We really appreciate you, and we will definitely be booking with you again! ❤️🐶🐶🐶

Drop-in visit was mainly for grooming since, due to poor vision, I'm unable to safely do. Clover loves Gabriela snd is very happy every time she is here, whether it be for Drop-in visits or dog walking. Gabriela is very good with Clover as well as my cat Bonnie.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Birchwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Birchwood is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 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 October 2026, there are 492 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Birchwood. 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.

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 Birchwood 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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

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.

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.
