“Mara was great! She did drop in visits to care for our cat while we were on vacation. Lucy, our cat, is very shy and this was the first time we have used this service, so we didn't know what to expect. As the week went on, I could see in the pictures that Lucy was warming up to Mara. Lucy seemed very happy and well cared for when we returned homes.”
“Angelina was very prompt with her messaging. She was reliable as she showed up at the appropriate time and followed my pets care instructions exactly. I came home to find my furry friend properly cared for. I would use her again!”
“Callie did a great job with our girls! On time as scheduled and very patient and let the girls slowly warm up to her. She was so detailed in her note and sent us lots of great photos! Will definitely be using her again!!!”
About: I've taken care of animals my whole life and love a snuggle with a dog or cat! I have my own cat at home and am often taking care of friends' dogs. I work as a teacher, and would be available to check in or house sit on evenings after 4pm, weekends, or other regular school breaks. While my cat will not take kindly to strangers, I will happily follow your routine while in your home! We can play, cuddle, or go on walks, whatever you need.
About: We had a poodle and then a cat in the house when I was a kid. Since then I've lived with several different cats and have been helping to look after friends' pets of various species when they're out of town or unavailable. I completed a course by the Professional Pet Care Association to become a Certified Pet Sitter and Dog Walker. I typically start my primary job at 3pm so late mornings and early afternoons are great for drop-ins or walks. Thursdays and Fridays are my normal days off so I'm available to spend more time with your pets then. The Practical Stuff: Happy to come over and provide food, water, exercise, and scoop litter boxes for your pets. The Other Important Stuff: I want your pet to feel safe and cared for while you're not there. I love petting, cuddling, playing, talking and generally hanging out with any dog or cat that wants the attention. If you have other pets like fish, reptiles, arthropods, etc. I can likely help out with them too. Let's talk about it. I'm fond of house plants and have dozens of my own so I'm happy to keep them watered for you.
“She did an amazing job with my cat Mickey. She provided a lot of updates about what was happening at my house and how Mickey was doing. I would recommend her to anyone who needs someone to watch their pet!”
“David was awesome. He took great care of our cats. He sent lots of pics and sent us daily updates. It was a relief knowing our cats were well taken care of by fellow animal lover. Will definitely use again”
About: I grew up surrounded by pets! My family fostered (and adopted) many different dogs and cats for many years! I am a student here in Rochester, so I unfortunately had to leave my pets at home with my mom. That being said, I am looking for any pet-sitting, or dog-walking gigs to spend some time with pets and also help pay for my education! In the past I have helped out watching my neighbors dogs, and also taken care of cats. In addition to this, I take my own dog, as well as my friends dogs on walks whenever I can! I am currently a student working towards my masters degree! Due to this, my schedule is relatively flexible, and allows me to spend a large portion of my days lounging around various places studying. On days I have class, I frequently have breaks throughout the day that would allow me time to walk a pup or check in on any other pets! I am comfortable walking into a house with a dog either in its crate or just roaming the house! I have no issues cleaning up any waste on walks and am happy to make sure pets are comfortable and fed before I leave!
“Kenzie did a wonderful job with my cats! I was super grateful to have her help over the holidays and will definitely book her again for my next trip is she is available!”
About: I have done pet sitting for friends and I’ve enjoyed it a lot! I love to care for dogs and cats. I also taught my own cats to sit and speak! My family had two dogs when I was younger that I would help care for and take on walks. I’ve also done overnight care for a dog who was blind and very old. I have a lot of time to care for all of your animals! My schedule is not very full these days, aside from feeding time and litter box cleaning! I do a great job at following instructions given, and paying attention to my actions and surroundings to make sure pets don’t get ahold of things they shouldn’t. I can also do some training and behavior correction.
“Naomi was very quick to respond and accepted my request even though it was pretty last minute! She does great with my dog and I can tell that takes great care of him during their time together :)”
About: Worked as a supervisor at daycare/ boarding facility for 6+ years. Have been around all breeds and behaviors. Have owned animals of different species my whole life. I am also a veterinary technician so I do know how to administer medications of all types. I work at a vet clinic full time and my days off may vary. Generally I work 7:30am - 5:30pm. On days off I spend time with my fur babies. 2 friendly dogs and 4 friendly cats. I also do have a large and XL breed wire kennel if your pet needs to be kenneled at night. I would love to take your fur baby on a walk if you are willing to work around my work hours.
About: I have been taking care of other people's fur kids for over 25 years and still love doing it. I feel the less stress you can put on an animal the better when having to be away from home. That is why I am so happy to take care of your kids at your home, just to keep everyone at ease. I have a flexible schedule and great with all kinds of animals. Putting your fur kids first with worry free care well your away. I treat your pet as if they were mine own. When I am with your pets they get my full attention, nothing less! I have had the pleasure of owning all different kinds of pets my entire life (38 years) and that helps to make me to be more comfortable/knowledgeable with any type of pet I have in my care. If you have questions or concerns I am open to talk to about anything. I also have references as well to easy your mind before booking me for pet sitting your pets. It is a part of who I am and want to keep doing it as much as I can to reduce stress on the fur kids but also on their humans. I have a flexible schedule and work with each family to do the best I can for them.
About: Hi, my name is Elsa, I am 20 years old and I live in Hudson Wi. A little about me is that during the school year I attend the university of Wisconsin La Crosse and am pursuing a clinical lab science degree. Growing up I had a dog, three cats, and three guinea pigs who I all loved. Growing up I also had small animal care jobs such as walking dogs or house sitting my neighbors dog and cat. At the moment I do not have any pets of my own since I go to college, but I would love to help others and their pets throughout the summer. I am a very responsible and reliable individual. I have my own transportation and a clean driving record as well.
About: I’ve had experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and horses. I’m comfortable handling animals of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. My experience includes feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning up after pets, administering basic care, and giving animals plenty of attention and affection. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My flexible job allows me gaps of time where I can tend to daily duties. I’m a college-aged student who is available to assist with your pets’ needs. My pets and those I take care of are treats really and with as much love and care as I can share. To keep things interesting, I will take my dog Rocko to new and fun locations for walks. I enjoy treating him with grooming and many treats. Rocko is like my little baby, and I am so excited to grow the number of relationships with furry companions!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Byron is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $26 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 308 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Byron. 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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Byron. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
