About: Hi! My name is Caitlyn. I am a lifelong animal lover and have had pets my whole life. I am a vet tech, so I have plenty experience with animals with medical or special needs. I am comfortable giving meds in whatever way works for your pet, from pill pockets to syringes to injections to pilling. I currently work at a vet so I can get your babies immediate help if needed. I work at a vet Monday-Thursday, so I am available all day Friday-Sunday to care for your critters. I would love to take some furry friends for a walk or sit on the couch with them while their family is on a trip. I will respect your pets space first and foremost. Even if I am staying overnight and your pet is scared to be near a stranger, I will not force them. If they’re more comfortable hiding in the closet, that if more than okay, as long as everyone is safe and healthy. If your pet is a snugglebug and wants to touch me 24/7, that’s great too! It’s all about making your pet feel comfortable while you are gone. I am also experienced in different ways to administer medication. If I have any issues, I will immediately let you know.

Kelly was great with our little hound dog. She even took it upon herself to make sure he had music to listen to so didn’t feel lonely while we were gone. He enjoyed all the walks that he took with her. Would definitely book with her again.

About: I've had dogs most my life until I met my wife and she converted me to a cat person. I have helped neighbors and friends take care of their fur babies for years. I have ample experience in taking care of elderly dogs and cats. I'm not afraid of messes, and pretty great at cleaning accidents when needed. Promo https://www.rover.com/sit/seano64985 I have a pretty flexible schedule. I will try to work you in however I can. With great communication and scheduling anything can be possible I enjoy the companionship of animals. I like to play and pet them to build a good bond. I enjoy going out into nature, so walks are an extra bonus to me

About: I have taking care of dogs and cats since I have been able to walk. I have worked at numerous vet’s offices as Kennel Assistants and have always had a cat or dog myself that I have taken care of and consider them my “fur-children”. I love all cats and dogs and would love to take care of you baby and treat them as my own! I’m available most mornings and evenings to take care of your fur-baby! I can help with walks during the day if planned in advance as well. I have a small backyard (not fenced) but am willing to take your animals around for a good long walk in the morning and the evenings as well. I have dog crates available for the dogs to be crated during the day (to board at my house they must be crate trained and be willing to stay in the crate when I am not home). I work only 10 minutes away from my house so I can make as many trips home to give them time out of the crate during the day as needed! I also have a spare room that could be used for the cat or dog to have their own closed in space if needed! I also have plenty of dog beds, blankets, dog toys, cat beds, a cat tower looking outside at a bird feeder for activity, and cat toys for them to play with! I also keep an extra couple of litter boxes handy, in addition to my LitterRobot for cats!

Kayla is great. We had a last minute change in our schedule and she was able to pop in to play with the puppies taking a lot of stress off us for the day. She is so good with our babies!!

Amber looked after our critters while we were gone for the week and took great care of them. She was very attentive when our cat got an upset stomach while we were away and cuddled with our little dog who was anxious during a storm. She was great about keeping us updated every time she checked on them. Highly recommend Amber to watch after your pets!

About: I’ve had two dogs of my own and have been taking care of them for almost 10 years, so I’m very comfortable around animals and their needs. I genuinely love animals and they hold a special place in my heart. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and loved whether it’s walking, feeding, or just spending time with them. I just graduated with my associate degree soon, so I have open availability with no school in session. This means I can be very flexible and reliable for pet care. I have plenty of time to give pets the attention they need, whether that’s walks, playtime, or check-ins throughout the day. When I’m in your home, I stick to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable. I’ll make sure they’re well cared for and safe at all times. I’m very attentive and treat every pet like my own, making sure they’re happy and taken care of while you’re away.

About: As an experienced pet sitter, I bring a wealth of knowledge and dedication to every furry friend I care for. With years of hands-on experience, I understand the unique needs and behaviors of various breeds, ensuring each pet feels comfortable and secure in my care. My approach combines routine and enrichment, allowing for tailored activities that keep pets happy and engaged. I prioritize open communication with pet owners, providing regular updates and photos to keep them connected. Whether it’s administering medication or following specific dietary requirements, I take pride in delivering personalized attention to ensure every pet feels loved and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work full-time during the day; but my job can be flexible leaving room to care for your babies whenever my services are needed. Caring for pets in my home involves creating a warm and welcoming environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I prioritize comfort and safety by providing a designated space where they can relax and feel secure. Daily routines include regular feeding, playtime, and exercise, ensuring they stay active and engaged. I also offer personalized attention, whether it’s cuddling, training, or interactive games. Maintaining a clean and organized space is essential, so I ensure all areas are tidy, litter boxes are clean, and fresh water is always available. With my experience, I monitor their health and behavior closely, providing updates to owners and ensuring their pets receive the love and care they deserve while away from home. Caring for pets in clients’ homes involves several key practices: 1. Routine Maintenance: I follow the established daily routines for feeding, walking, and playtime to ensure pets feel secure and comfortable. 2. Personalized Attention: I take time to engage with each pet, offering companionship and activities tailored to their preferences, whether it’s playtime, cuddling, or training exercises. 3. Health Monitoring: I keep an eye on each pet’s health and behavior, promptly noting any changes and ensuring any medications are administered as needed. 4. Safety First: I ensure the environment is safe by keeping hazardous items out of reach and supervising pets during playtime. 5. Regular Updates: I provide pet owners with regular updates, including photos and messages, to keep them informed and reassured while they’re away. 6. Clean Environment: I maintain a clean space by tidying up after the pets, ensuring litter boxes are cleaned, and fresh water is always available. These practices help create a loving, safe, and familiar environment for pets while their owners are away.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Cottontown 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.

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 Cottontown 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 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Cottontown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cottontown. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.

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.
