âLina is an excellent dog sitter, a wonderful human being with an incredible sense of integrity. She took care of my two elderly fur-babies as if they were her own. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my fur-babies were in wonderfully capable hands. I highly recommend Lina!â

âKayla is great! She did a great job walking my three dogs. Sent lots of pics and a great report. Dogs are happy and relaxing after their walk. Will definitely use her again :)â

About: Iâve taken care of animals of all kinds since I was a little kid. Animal care, or animals in general have always been a major passion of mine. Neighbors and family friends have consistently relied on me for pet care whenever theyâre heading out of town or are just gone for the day! I do have experience with a variety of different breeds (both cat and dog!) as well as many other reptiles, fish and birds. I will always meet any and all needs that may be required for your furry or scaly friends! It is my top priority to make sure your pets are safe, happy and well taken care of whenever needed đ! I am currently working part time while I am in school so my availability is pretty flexible đ¤¸! I am not available for boarding at the moment, however, I am open consistently throughout the week đ! While in your home, I will make sure to adhere to and respect all rules and expectations given to me regarding your pets specific care as well as general house rules! Tell me to fly and I will đ, especially since you are trusting and welcoming me into your space to care for your babies! đž
About: Hi there, nice to meet you! I have experience with a lot animals. I had my soul dog, a chihuahua mix, since I was 9 years old until I was 22 last year and he lived until 14 years old. I take care of my sibling's and friend's pets as well. My brother has two bunnies - Vale and Haddie. My sister has two guinea pigs - Chichi and Chori. I'd love to get another dog or cat in the future, but for now I will take care of your pets as my own! I'm currently working freelance from my home, so I'm available almost any day/ time of the week to watch your pets. I love to get my steps in daily, so I'm available for walks any time. My home is a very safe environment for your pet. Currently I don't have any pets living in my home. We have a fenced in yard as well.
About: Iâve had pets for years and have grown up with animals. Ever since I was born I was joined by a grumpy maincoon and once I turned 8 I got a siberian husky. Now, years later, I have taken care of many babies, both mine and belonging to others. Along with this I also have experience working at a veterinary clinic so I know how to deal with stressed animals who simply need patience. I am available to walk your babies or come by and feed them while you are on a much needed vacation on any day thatâs not Wednesday after 2 pm. I have experience taking care of cats, dogs, birds, rats, and many more I understand that animals all have different personalities and often times need an abundance of patience. I know each pet routine varies depending on their breed, needs, likes, and dislikes. I have worked with animals with medical issues so I am experienced in administering shots, giving pills, or any other medications that may be necessary for the safety and comfort of your fur baby.
About: I am traditionally a babysitter, but I have started dog care with the same family I babysit for, so for the past 3 years I've taken care of their dogs making sure that they are fed walked taken care for when the family is out of the house, also have two precious little ones of my own, I have trained and pampered to the fullest extent they're very well loved and very happy doggies. I am currently college student so my availability is early mornings and late afternoon to evening and even into the early night, I'm available every day of the week with those hours for the time being, if anything changes, I be 100% transparent and will give 2 weeks notice if there are any changes What I will do for any animal in my care is make sure that they've been walked, fed and are comfortable on average. I do do 30 minute walks depending on how hot it is outside. And I do have collapsible bowls that I clean so if they need longer walks they will not get dehydrated. I also will do basic grooming like brushing their coats, in my experience, whenever I'm with dogs or animals with her, it's good. Check their fur and brush it every time they come back inside just in case a tick or anything lands on them or grass seeds get on them because that can be very uncomfortable for the little guys. Lastly, I do love to take pictures and send them to you. That way you know your little companion is safe and happy.These are basic things that I do and I'm happy to do any extra things to make sure you feel comfortable that your animal is thriving while you are away or busy.
âAspyn was patient with my dog Hildy and let her warm up over a visit or two. After that, she kept Hildy active and engaged and was a great Rover check-in overall. Kept an eye on the automatic food/water just in case, super attentive and great with communication. Definitely highly recommend.â

About: I've cared for cats, dogs, reptiles, and rodents, and I treat every pet like they're my own. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to detail, whether that's following feeding schedules, giving medications, cleaning litter boxes, refreshing water, maintaining habitats, or providing playtime and companionship. I have 4 years of volunteer experience caring for senior animals, so giving medications and providing extra care is no big deal for me.

I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, exercise, and any special needs. I am also trained in animal CPR, which gives an added level of preparedness in case of an emergency. I respect your home as if it were my own and make sure pets remain secure, comfortable, and stress-free. I also pay close attention to changes in behavior or health and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Christmas is $25 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $32 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 petâs 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 4,907 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Christmas. 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 petâs routine and the sitterâs 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 petâs 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 youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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 Christmas. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
