“Taylor took great care of my cats while I traveled. She followed instructions and provided updates and photos. Even though one of my cats ran out by accident (which was expected cuz she’s normally indoor-outdoor), but Taylor ensured she was back in the house for the day. I’d be happy to have her sit my fur babies again!”

My wife and I recently adopted two kitten siblings that we named Cannoli and Mochi. We are excited to welcome your pets into our home and treat them like a part of our family, just like they deserve!

When we are caring for pets in our home, we treat them like part of the family. We have dedicated spaces to make sure they have access to cozy spots to relax, fresh water, and regular meals. We also dedicate parts of our day to lots of playtime, cuddles, and company. We pay attention to their moods and comfort levels, so they feel safe and loved in ways they enjoy while they’re with us. If we're caring for a pet in a client’s home, we always follow their routine closely to help the pet feel secure and keep things familiar. We take care to keep their home neat, stick to feeding and walk schedules, and send regular updates so owners know their pets are happy and in good hands.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young girl. I take great pride in getting to know an animal first and gaining their trust. I enjoy walking my dog during my free time, giving her lots of pets, and entertaining her with games of fetch! Cats are also very dear to me and I love taking care of them. I take care of the feeding, cleaning of the litter box, and most importantly, play time! I am oftentimes free in the early mornings and afternoons. My classes and work shifts are in the evening and so when I get back home in the evening I also have time to care for pets. I respect the home of those who welcome me in and make gaining the trust of your pet a top priority. I want to insure that all animals feel safe and that all needs are met beyond expectations.

About: I had my first dog when I was a baby. My dog and I was born on same day so we have a special bond. As I got older we would go everywhere together especially to the mountains and to the beach. I would feed him and bathe him before I even bathe myself. I am a housewife and take care of my two beautiful kids. They are two and three years old. They keep me busy but I have plenty of time and love to care for a pet too. Our property is pretty large and it's also gated so your pet can feel safe running around inside. If your pet is kid friendly, my kids can join me in playing with and petting your pet. We have a small garden on the property where your pet can feel like he/ she is in nature.

About: I’ve taken care of my aunts yorkie with housesitting and dog walking. I walk my own dog every day. Your dog is in good hands! :) I will ensure everything to protect your dogs as well! As a dog lover and owner I know the feeling of fear at first when trusting a stranger. Please believe when I say I will ensure your dogs safety and my safety as well! I’m currently a full time college student who works a part time job! I am able to work more on weekends but I am also flexible on week days! If we work on a time together that can fit both schedules I believe it can work! I have a fenced mini grass front yard in front of my home where my yorkie and medium jack terrier love to walk or go potty! I care for my pets by taking them for their potty, playtime, walks, and feeding time.

About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs has always been more than just a responsibility to me, it comes from my heart. I’ve had dogs since middle school, and I’ve always loved and cared for them as if they were my own children. I understand that our dogs are family and I believe they deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and deeply loved, even when their parents are away. I had the privilege of raising my handsome boy Oliver from the time I was in eighth grade until he passed away in May of 2026. He was such a special part of my life, and caring for him taught me so much about the patience, attention, and compassion dogs need as they grow older. Through my own experience, I’ve learned how important it is to recognize and adapt to a dog’s changing needs throughout every stage of their life, from tiny puppies to seniors. I also have two young dogs of my own who I’ve raised since they were puppies. This has given me hands on experience with the patience, consistency, and attention that young dogs need as they learn and grow. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always do my best to make each one feels secure, understood, and cared for. When your dog is with me, I want you to feel confident knowing they’re receiving more than basic care. They’ll receive genuine affection, patience, attention, and plenty of love. I’ll treat your fur baby with the same tenderness and care I give my own because I know just how much they mean to you. I work from home Monday through Friday which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, loving care throughout the day. I’m available after 12 PM on weekdays and can accommodate weekend bookings with at least one week’s notice. Because I work from home, I can dedicate plenty of time to your fur baby’s care, whether that means keeping them company, providing potty breaks, going on walks, enjoying playtime, or simply giving them extra cuddles and attention. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable and secure while their families are away, and I do my best to maintain their usual routines and make them feel right at home. In my home: I primarily offer pet sitting in my home, where your fur baby will have companionship throughout the day and the opportunity to play and socialize with my two dogs, as long as they’re comfortable around other dogs. I do my best to keep everyone on a consistent routine for meals, potty breaks, playtime, and rest so your pup can settle in comfortably. We do have a shared courtyard at the apartments, where I can take the dogs out for a potty break. I welcome dogs at any time, and I always prioritize their safety, individual needs, and comfort. In your home: I’m available for pet sitting at your home after 3:30 PM on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I understand how comforting it can be for dogs to remain in their familiar environment, surrounded by their own things and routines. I’ll follow your instructions closely, maintain their usual schedule, and give them plenty of affection and attention. Potty breaks and walks: I can also stop by for potty breaks and walks to help keep your pup happy, comfortable, and active throughout the day. I’ll always be mindful of their age, energy level, and individual needs. No matter which service you choose, I want you to feel confident knowing your fur baby is receiving attentive, patient, and loving care. I will also send you photos and videos throughout the day so you know how your baby is doing. I know how much our dogs mean to us, and I’ll treat yours with the same kindness and consideration I give my own. My goal is to make your time away easier for you and as comfortable as possible for your little one!

About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 8 years, and I understand their unique personalities—from playful kittens to independent seniors. Neighbors, friends, and family often rely on me to feed, groom, and keep their pets happy while they are away. I know how to make shy cats feel safe, how to engage energetic ones with play, and how to provide comfort and consistency. Whether it’s following a routine or giving extra love, I treat every pet like my own. I’ve spent the last 8 years as a full-time cat roommate, so I know their quirks inside out. I work part-time, which means I’ve got plenty of time for feeding, play, or just being a warm couch buddy when your cat decides I belong to them. Available most weekends and weekdays after 12PM. My home is calm, cozy, and 100% cat-approved. I understand that some cats want playtime while others just want to judge me from the top of the couch — and I respect both. With years of experience, I’ll keep your cat safe, happy, and spoiled with love (and chin scratches, if allowed).

“Arisa is HANDS DOWN one of the BEST care taker of Daisy my little 9lb poodle. As someone who works in the animal emergency hospital and a dog trainer, it's often so hard to trust your own dog with just anyone. Arisa is very detailed oriented and punctual when she took care of my dog. Arisa understood and respected my dog's spacial awareness and triggers when she took her on a walk. For safety concern, Arisa also is careful when letting your dog greet other stranger dogs, and took my wishes into consideration when I didn't want my small dog to greet other dogs on leash. As a small poodle, my dog is also very sensitive and a picky eater. She often gets upset stomach and Arisa took all of that I consideration. Arisa is soft spoken and very gentle with little dogs and follows the feeding instructions carefully. Overall eventhough Daisy (my dog) is picky with people, she absolutely adores and loves Arisa. Arisa is the only dog sitter Daisy would allow near her.”

Three things. First, exceptional care of our cat and two dogs! Second, we extended our trip to japan 7 days and Alyssa was there to extend her care for our pets and home! Amazing! And lastly, our electric lock on the front door was on low battery. Kinda stressful because if it died Alyssa wouldn't have access to our home, but She went out, bought batteries, and changed them. Above and beyond :) Thanks Alyssa, look forward to using your service to care for our pets in the future!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Commerce

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Commerce is $30 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $40 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 21,315 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Commerce. 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 Commerce. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
