About: I have experience caring for pets with medical needs, and physical differences. I am comfortable providing oral medications by syringe or pills. Previously I have cared for pets who are deaf, blind, or have high levels of anxiety. I am willing to work with & understand their temperaments and personalities. My experience with caring for pets comes from owning my own pets, pet-sitting for friends, and assisting with pet care when I babysat for families. I’m currently working Part time & looking to supplement my work with pet care! I am available during the day for drops in or walks! I am available for short daily walks, longer weekly walks, playtime sessions with your active pup, etc. I am also happy to drop in to spend some quality time with your pet, give them some top up on water/food, and let them do their business!
About: I have over two years of experience providing reliable and compassionate pet care for dogs. I have been responsible for feeding, walking, administering basic medications, and ensuring overall health and well-being. My experience also includes maintaining clean living environments, monitoring behavior for any signs of illness, and communicating regularly with pet owners to provide updates and peace of mind. I take pride in creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care as well as pet owners. We own a family business where I work from home Mon-Fri. As long as internet is accessible, I do not need to leave for work! I like to break up my day by going for a walk with whichever furry friends are in my presence. I enjoy spending time with all types of dogs. Cuddlers who like to relax together, energetic dogs who like to go for long walks, I can be available to follow any meal times and/or medications.

Pet care fits into my daily routine as I go for walks everyday, and I'm on a regular routine with times I am available to let dogs out and feeding. I care for pets like they are my own! As a pet owner myself, I take caring for someone's pet very seriously. I will treat your pet as it was my own.
About: With 12 years of professional pet care experience, I've worked in dog daycare, obedience training, dog walking companies, and overnight pet sitting for dogs, cats, and small animals. I'm experienced with administering medication and caring for senior pets with special needs. I believe every pet is unique, so I work closely with owners to ensure your furry friend gets the safe, loving care they deserve while you're away. I have a very flexible work schedule that allows me to move my shift around as needed to suit your pets needs. Your pets needs come first to ensure they are happy and healthy. I have 2 friendly cats but only one (Whiskey) will show face during your pets visit in my home. I have an unfenced yard with a tie out that gives your pet tons of space to roam the yard. My yard backs onto the woods and is away from the road. Your pet will always be monitored in my home and will never be left unattended. In your home, I will follow your guidance and continue your pets routine however that may look.
About: I've taken care of pets of all sorts for the last 20 years. It started with family friends and eventually my name spread. I have cared for animals of all sizes, from pocket dogs to giant breeds. I have cared for puppies and kittens, and senior animals, giving them the attention and affection they deserve. I have worked as a professional dog walker in the past and built some experience working with animals that required medication in both needle and pill form. My greatest asset is my ability to match your schedule as closely as possible, helping ensure your animal experiences minimal disruption and stays as relaxed as possible. I own a content marketing business and I am able to work flexible hours. This means I can meet pet care needs whenever and wherever you need. My work schedule can work around you and your pet. When I look after animals in client homes, I leave the smallest foot print possible. My focus is on your pet. I will respect the rules and boundaries you have set for them and keep your home as you left it. Other than a happy pet, there will be no other signs that I was there.
About: Certainly! Here’s an extended version with a few more lines to make your answer more detailed and impressive: --- I have over 8 years of hands-on experience as a dedicated pet sitter, and I also care for two pets of my own — a playful dog and a senior cat — so I understand the daily needs, personalities, and quirks that make each pet unique. What sets me apart from other sitters is not just my experience, but my genuine love for animals and my ability to connect with them on a deeper level. I have worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments — from energetic puppies needing consistency and training, to older pets who require medication, mobility assistance, and extra TLC. I’m skilled in basic puppy training, crate training, leash manners, and socialization. I also have experience dealing with rescue animals and those with anxiety or behavioral issues, always using a gentle and reassuring approach. Pet safety is my top priority. I stay alert, follow detailed care instructions, and maintain regular communication with pet parents through updates and photos. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with love, patience, and respect. I work from Monday to Friday from 9 to 5.After that and before that I am available and I can sit with your pet at night Here’s a well-rounded answer to the **“Safety, trust & environment”** question, written from your perspective as an experienced cat sitter and pet sitter who may care for pets either in your own home or the client’s home: --- Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or my client’s, safety and trust are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions precisely — including feeding schedules, medication, exercise routines, and any household rules their pet is used to. I take the time to learn each pet’s preferences and behaviors so I can provide a familiar, low-stress environment while their family is away. In my own home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space that is free from hazards. I ensure secure windows and doors, use pet-safe cleaning products, and have separate, quiet areas available if a pet needs space or time to adjust. My own pets are well-socialized, and I carefully supervise all interactions to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I also provide regular updates, photos, and videos to build trust with pet parents, showing them that their pet is in good hands. Whether in my home or theirs, I aim to create a calm, caring, and secure environment where pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Loyalist
I couldn’t be happier with the care provided for my cat, Bella. She did an amazing job feeding her, refreshing her water, and making sure she felt comfortable while I was away. She truly went above and beyond for my fur child, and it gave me real peace of mind knowing Bella was in such great hands. Highly recommended!
Abby looked after Cosmo and Mars for 11 days, and we couldn't be happier! She was incredibly responsive and gave great updates (including many adorable photos!). Our boys were well fed, cuddled, and looked after. She cared for them as if they were her own cats, and that's really all we could ask for. Thank you so much Abby! Mars and Cosmo are looking forward to our next vacation! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Loyalist is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $39 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.
There are 242 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Loyalist. About 88% of Loyalist sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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 Loyalist 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 do not have any disqualifying offences.
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
