“Alison was fantastic! We came home and the cats were relaxed and happy. She was able to work with one cat that is always in need of attention and another that needs space and will let you know when she is ready for attention. If you need a pet sitter, she is wonderful!”
“Mia is a very responsible sitter! My cat is a shy boy when seeing strangers, but he was willing to play with Mia! Definitely will have another booking with Mia in the future.”
“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!”
“Emily was great! Loved all pictures she sent. Our shy girl did well with her. It always makes us nervous leaving her with new people but Emily has the experience we needed. She also took care of the meds for our male. And both dogs seemed happy and tired from the walks when we got home. Thank you!”
“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.
“This is the second time we’ve booked with Mara. We were able to travel with no worries as we know our Grizzly is in the best hands! Mara is truly the best and we will continue to book with her.”
“Andria accepted our request immediately, had wonderful communication before meeting, met on time to learn the details of our cat and meet him. During her visits, she would sent pictures and great updates! We highly recommend Andria to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter! 😊”
“Matt did a great job taking care of our two cats, Luni and CJ, while we were away! He came over a couple of days beforehand to meet them and was also wonderful with our dogs. Matt was dependable, caring, and communicative, and he even brought in our mail and packages. We really appreciated his help and would definitely have him watch our cats again.”
“Our dogs warmed up to him right away which doesn'tusually happen. We just had one hour drop in visit so far and everything went great. Loved the pics and update on the dogs. We already have more visits scheduled with him. Thank you.”
“Joanna was amazing! She made sure to send us adorable updates about our pet while we were away for about a week for our wedding! We never had to worry if our baby back home was being taken care of.”
About: I have always been around animals and have had pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, and even birds. I really enjoy taking care of all animals and providing excellent service. My family has a bird, two shih tzus, and a cat. I have frequently been around bigger breeds as well so I am comfortable with any-sized pet. I have experience walking other people's dogs and pet sitting for family and family friends. I am busy this summer preparing for college in the fall, but I wanted something that I care about to fill some of my free time. I am also saving up for college expenses. I would love to make pet sitting/walking a major part of my life. I would be able to watch pets at the owners' home. I will be able to watch them overnight, and or come over to check on them as well as taking walks and playing with them.
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.
About: I grew up taking care of my family dogs and cats since I can remember! (15+ years) We have had animals of all sizes - small to large! I have cared for senior dogs and cats as well as 9 week old puppies and kittens. I love animals and I am very passionate about ensuring they are treated with love and respect. I am searching for work as I recently graduated from the University of Kansas with my Master of Social work degree! I have a very flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to care for your baby(ies)! I live in a townhome with a yard and access to walking trails nearby! There is plenty of space for your dog(s) to play, walk, and get exercise!
“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!”
About: HELLO! I have been taking care of all kinds of dogs from pups to senior pets who have special needs. I have done stuff like this ever since I was in middle school. I am very flexible with my time. I do have a cat allergy but that won’t stop me from that either! I’m always here to help you’re best friend 😊 Im very flexible with my schedule for a couple months! I can do early mornings to late nights. I’m always able to help with anything! I’m very detail oriented and need straightforward instructions in order to properly care for a pet. The more straightforward the instructions the better! I treat any pet as if they were my own. Maybe a chance to spoil with my special frozen pet friendly watermelon slush for the hot summer days? Or a little trip to get a pup cup? My dogs are spoiled and I miss them so much so this would be a win-win for the both of us 🤣

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Byron on Rover is $19.98 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 322 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Byron. 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 Byron 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.

- 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% 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.
