“Emily did a fabulous job taking care of our cats for the week. We were amused and entertained by the photos on each visit. She learned the cats’ personalities and gave each the attention they wanted. Came home to healthy and happy fur babies!”
“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.”
“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.”
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!
“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!”
“Lindsey did a fantastic job caring for our pets! She managed quite the spectrum—one cat who needs lots of love, attention, and twice-daily meds, another who can be a bit grumpy, and even our turtle, who she entertained with a tracking game. Everyone was safe, happy, and well cared for. She made the whole process so easy, checking in each visit with updates and photos that gave us peace of mind. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely book again.”
“Outstanding!!! We were so grateful for Emma’s consistency and playfulness with our two cats. We were gone a long time and she made sure that they got love every day. Her communication was perfect and we appreciated the daily pictures. I will book Emma as often as she is available!!”
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 have taken care of dogs as large as an Italian Mastiff and as small as mini schnauzers. I am comfortable and confident with handling dogs of all temperaments. I currently go to college full time. I only have classes in the mornings, so my days are pretty open to spend time with dogs or take them on walks. I currently have 4 mini schnauzers at home and provide them with a safe and loving environment. I would bring that same care for your beloved pet.
“Hallie is very reliable and professional. We couldn’t have found a better sitter for our dog. It gives me a peace of mind to know that she will check on with Milo and treat him with sweetness. She takes cute pictures and videos everytime.”
About: I’ve been helping take care of the pets of friends and family since I was in middle school. I mainly specialize in dog, cat, and rodent care. For the past 7 years I’ve worked in positions helping to care for animals in research settings, mainly rodents, rabbits, and pigs. However my biggest love is caring for our furry and not so furry pets at home. I’m a big proponent of animal welfare and always look to ensure any critter under my care has all it needs to live a healthy, fulfilled life. I currently work M-F 7-3:30. I am able to do afternoon/evening walks or house drop/ins if need be. I am free most weekends as well for walks or drop-ins or if necessary overnight care. I’m a big proponent of animal welfare. I always want to see pets and all animals really live long, healthy lives. I’m willing to follow any guidelines a pet owner has regarding their pet(s) and will always be respectful of an owner’s wishes. If I were to stay in a client’s home for an overnight visit I would be respectful of the client’s space and would be as neat and tidy with my stay there as possible.
About: I have owned my own dogs, and taken care of friends, neighbors, and families dogs all my life. I often house sit and pet sit for friends and neighbors. I love to exercise so I always take long walks, and I am very open to snuggling and playing! I work full time, but weekends are free if you need someone to drop in or walk your furry friends if/ while you are away! In my clients home I am available to let the pets out, go for walks, play time, or leisure time. I will always clean up after the pet and leave the home better than I found it!
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.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I love walking dogs and taking them on hikes. I also love taking dogs on play dates and to the dog park! I often dog sit for friends and their families too. I am currently a graduate student and I am actually about to start clinicals at the end of September. My clinicals schedule will be Monday-Friday 7am-2:30pm. Therefore, my availability is 3-10pm during the weekdays and available all hours of the day/evening on weekends! I live in a pretty big apartment with a big deck. In my apartment complex are three different dog parks that are fenced. I also have two friendly dogs that can keep your dog company!! I am able to crate my dogs if needed, as well as have crates available to use for your dog if needed! I am very close to several areas to take dogs on walks, such as Quarry Hill and the Douglas Trail.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Byron is $13 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $13 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 303 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 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 Byron. On Rover:
- 87% 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 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.
