About: Hi! I am a responsible and caring pet sitter who has loved animals my whole life. I had a French Bulldog named Nugget for 10 years, and I was actively involved in caring for him every day.

I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, providing companionship, and following any special care instructions. I will treat your pets with the same love and care that I gave Nugget I have a flexible schedule and can make time to provide reliable care for your pets. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and companionship. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a longtime dog owner, I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s routine and specific care instructions. I will ensure your pet has fresh water, proper feeding, exercise, and lots of attention. I will treat your home with respect and provide updates so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I grew up on a farm, so I’ve had the opportunity to work with many different kinds of animals. Since that time, I’ve rescued a few cats and dogs with mental and physical issues.

Whether it’s a potty break, playtime, or some cuddles. I am able to follow instructions. I understand how important it is to keep your pet on a routine, especially when you are not home.
“Alaina was amazing with my cat, Bitty! She was quick to respond and very thorough in making sure she understood all of Bitty’s needs. She sent great pictures and kept me updated on her visits, which gave me so much peace of mind. 10/10 would absolutely recommend her!”
“Emily was so helpful and attentive to Gunters needs! I loved getting updates daily, she took the sweetest pictures of my kitty. Towards the end of my trip, Gunter unfortunately contracted a uti.

This is our second time having Laurel watch our babies while we are out of town. She’s fabulous as always! Very attentive and great communication. She was available right away as we had to go out of state for funeral. We will definitely be having her look after our pets again.

Jessi was awesome. So friendly and quick to respond. Very thorough with her daily reports, and was so kind with dealing with our two ornery dogs! They warmed up to her quickly (for them!) and were very well taken care of by Jessi while we were out of town. We would love to have her back again in the future to take care of our animals while we are out of town!
Jeremy was so amazing with my three dogs! He was timely, professional and took so many pictures for me to enjoy. I am so grateful to have found someone who cares about my pups the way that I do! Would absolutely recommend Jeremy to anyone looking for the best care for their fluffy family members!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Central on Rover is $16.65 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 1,544 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Central. 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 Central 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
