“Wonderful and trustworthy sitter! She was very attentive when I provided directions and followed everything requested. She provided very thorough notes of her visit, photos, and spent a lot of quality time with Watson, who craves attention. She also noted any issues (vomit). I appreciated her care and attention while we were away. I know our kitties are in good hands with her!! Highly recommend!”

Kitty got sick a week prior so I was worried that she hasn’t fully recovered. Luckily there were no issues. Thanks Jennifer for everything! Highly recommend to others.”

“Luella took really good care of my two cats. Her visit notes were very detailed. She took extra care to look for the cats to make sure they were okay. She also went the extra step to clean up their messes. Her communication is excellent and I could tell she has a lot of love and affection for animals. I would book her again.”

“Our regular sitter of two years moved just far enough away that coming twice a day for a week wasn't possible, so it was a little nerve-racking to choose a new sitter when we were going to be on the other side of the country. Picking Gagandeep was a good decision. He put us at ease immediately when leaving them, which was especially important when I developed an unexpected and serious medical condition. If I had spent time worrying about them cross-country, I don’t think it would have turned out as well as it did. I’ll definitely book with him again.”

“Krystle was amazing with our cat! She helped with all the things I asked for and went above and beyond and helped with other things like ant invasion when we were away. She was extremely patient and sweet with our cat that was hiding under the couch during her visits. She was able to get our cat to play with her after couple of days, thanks to Krystle’s gentle approach. I was comfortable being away and knew that my cat was being treated well and taken care of. I 100% recommend Krystle! She’s truly the best. I’ll definitely reach out to her if I need a sitter again.”

About: I got my first dog, Cookie, in 2017, but I had birds and fish as pets prior. I took care of most of the toys, treats, food and vet care for him. He is now around 11 and although I've moved out of the family home, I'm helping my parents transition him to senior care level: watching out for his joints and diet mostly. I've since moved in with my partner who has a 4 year old Corgi. He is a friendly, but high energy pup who would benefit from having other dogs around to play with. I sometimes dog sit my family dog with the corgi, so I am well versed in juggling puppy energy and training alongside senior care. I have a hobby photography background, so expect photo updates of your fur babies! AVAILABLE Thanksgiving Day/Black Friday weekend! 11/26-11/29 I'm currently mostly available on weekends (Fri, Sat, Sun) and holidays. Only looking to board/daycare one dog at a time right now, just so I don't overwhelm my own dog. May increase to more than one in the future! Mon-Thurs Availability: Daycare/House sitting - None. Boarding - Dropoff after 5pm Drop in visits, dog walking - Nights only, 8pm onwards. Fri/Sat/Sun Availability: Usually free all day for all offered services. Message to confirm. We have basic grooming equipment, if needed, to file nails, shave paw pads, and brush out fur. Weekends, I am able to spend more time with pets, like go on longer walks and visit pet friendly places (if you're ok with that). I have a fenced yard with grass/concrete area and an energetic Corgi for your dog to play with! I'm very respectful in others' homes and will strive to leave everything the way I found it or better. I am super organized and love relying on making to-do lists to keep track of all my tasks and responsibilities. I have a whiteboard dedicated for this at my home, but use my phone when I'm outside or in other's homes. I'm open to both crate-trained and not crate-trained dogs. For cats, I make sure the litterbox is always clean and try to play with them if they want. Additionally, I'm always mindful of entering and leaving homes, in case a pet makes an escape attempt through the open door. I'm very detail-oriented, have great communication skills, and take great notes. So I make sure I know exactly the type of care you want for your pet!

About: I’ve owned 2 dogs in my lifetime, a terrier-mix and Pomeranian-mix. Raised both from puppies through their unfortunate passing. Although I’ve owned smaller dogs, bigger dogs are my favorite because of their energy. Regardless of size, I’ll be sure to keep your dog cared for and entertained. Childless home. Full-time at home worker. Flexible enough schedule to fit in dog walks at a minimum every 2-4 hours. Athletic enough for long walks or short runs. I have a fenced patio for your dog to relax and get fresh air with and without shade. In door option is also available but clients should note that the home has 3 floors but will happily assist friends in need up the stairs.

About: With over 16 years of experience in veterinary medicine and a lifetime of loving and caring for animals, I bring professional knowledge and genuine compassion to every pet I care for. My background includes veterinary assisting, client education, hospital management, and working alongside veterinarians to provide exceptional patient care. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, including puppies, kittens, seniors, and pets with medical conditions or special needs. I am comfortable administering oral medications, monitoring behavior for signs of illness, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining daily routines. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to build trust, provide enrichment, and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to give pet parents complete peace of mind knowing their furry family member is receiving experienced, attentive, and compassionate care. Pet care has always been a natural part of my life, both personally and professionally. I intentionally schedule my time so I can provide reliable, unhurried care and give each pet the individual attention they deserve. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, an extended walk, overnight companionship, medication administration, or simply someone to spend quality time with them, I am committed to maintaining their normal routine. I understand that consistency helps pets feel secure, and I pride myself on being dependable, punctual, and flexible whenever possible to meet the needs of both pets and their families. Your pet’s health, safety, and happiness are always my highest priorities. My veterinary background allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, or overall health that others may overlook. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules, exercise requirements, and household routines exactly as requested. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your home with the same respect I would my own while creating a calm, low-stress environment for your pet. I use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, supervise outdoor time, monitor interactions with other animals, and provide plenty of affection, playtime, and enrichment. I also believe communication is key, so you’ll receive regular updates and photos, allowing you to relax knowing your beloved companion is in experienced, caring hands.

About: Ive worked in the veterinary field for almost 12 years- most of my experience has been in specialty and emergency medicine and have been lucky to help all sizes and ages of fur babies and their families. I have seen the distress of both the pet and their pet parent and always strive to be a pillar of confidence and ensure your pet is in good hands and will be taken care of. My goal is to build trust with your pet and also with your family. I understand how hard it can be to travel and have someone care for them and this is why i treat all animals like my own. I always put safety at the forefront when i'm pet sitting and always happy for check in's or anything that puts you at ease to know your loved one is taken care of while you are away. I am currently freelancing and enjoying getting my dose of animal care by assisting my house mates older dog. I lost my best fur friend over a year ago and currently helping other pets feel cared and loved until im ready for a new friend. Doors and locks are always checked and no pet is left unattended. I typically adjust my schedule to the needs of your pet while in my care.

About: **Update 8/2024: I will not be able to board dogs at my place for awhile. For dogsitting, I try to keep my calendar updated with my limited time, but feel free to message me if it looks like I'm not available! Apologies for the inconvenience!** I specialize in reactive and anxious dogs, especially of the bigger variety! I understand the anxiety of finding a sitter who can safely and lovingly manage your fur baby's issues. Having dealt with special needs dogs of my own, I have special experience and patience working with bigger dogs, especially reactive or anxious ones from traumatic backgrounds. I develop a bond and engagement with the pup so that they feel secure and loved while their parents (you) are away and communicate often for peace of mind. *Note that new clients will require at least one meet and greet meeting before we get to work with each other. The first meet and greet is free. More details will be sent in bookings. ================= Dogs enrich my life better than just myself alone. Sometimes I look at my pet or my fur clients and am so amazed that they love us so unconditionally. I have owned dogs of all sizes ranging from chihuahuas to Staffies. I have volunteered my time to work with K9s. I have housebroken and trained all of my dogs to learn verbal and visual commands plus additional tricks. If you are interested in your pet improving certain skills, I can also help with that while your pup under my care - it's an additional service I offer at no extra charge. I can either follow your method or offer my recommendations. It will be enough of a reward when your doggie is able to show off any improvement in their reactivity. I know how difficult it is to manage daily, but will still have hope and never give up on your fur baby. I'd love to pass on what I've learned in hopes that it helps someone else as well. I am attentive, honest, as well as communicative. I I will treat your house like my own, leaving it the way it came when I pass it back to you! Though my primary focus is on your dog and house, if your dog prefers a play buddy then I can bring my dog Tank, who has gotten along well with resident dogs, is well behaved, and 100% housebroken (not even marking). Let me know if you are interested in having Tank also hang out and play! He has made a few BFFs with my clients :) Communication: I shall update you on your dog's status with photos - they may even appear on my dog's page as just their name, no other identifying information (let me know if you prefer your dog to not appear in photos). I am active outside of my home and I would gladly bring your dogs with me and guarantee that my utmost priority is making sure they return home safe. During the pandemic I still social distance and pretty much keep to myself most of the time, minimizing contact with other people. Let me know if you need me to practice any other precautions. Ping me with any questions! I sometimes go into the office for work and sometimes just work from home. I take my pet sitting job seriously, playing and training with them as much as I can and helping them feel safe. For my own health, I have to engage in regular walking everyday and what better walking companion than a dog? I wake up to immediately take the dogs out to potty then give the dogs breakfast. Active time happens after that with an afternoon nap time and back to active time and dinner. I take their medications seriously as well as other instructions. I will never complain about too many details, so please indulge me!

Lia was an excellent communicator throughout the petsitting process and made me feel very safe about leaving my beloved cat son in her care!

This was my first time using Rover and booking a pet care service, and Jocelyn made the entire process so easy and stress-free. She was very responsive, asked thoughtful questions I hadn’t even considered, and always kept me updated during her visits. My dog, Skye, can be reactive and takes time to warm up to new people, but Jocelyn was incredibly patient and understanding. She never pushed Skye beyond her comfort level and let her build trust at her own pace. By the third day, I could already see Skye becoming more comfortable with her, which meant a lot to me. It was clear that Jocelyn genuinely cared about Skye’s well-being and treated her with kindness, patience, and respect. I am so grateful for the care she provided and will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you, Jocelyn, for taking such great care of my girl!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Cherryland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cherryland is $31 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $50 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 14,018 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cherryland. 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 Cherryland. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
