“Yekaterina is awesome! Friendly, responsive, communicative and especially kind and caring to our elderly girl, Mamie. We really appreciate Kat and hope we can work with her regularly. The next time we might decide to a weekend trip instead of only a day away and we can rest assured that our girl will be well cared for! Kat is A+!”
“Marcia was absolutely amazing !!! I needed a sitter fast ! She scheduled the meet and greet the next day !!! She was very knowledgeable on dogs body language and very sweet!! She also took amazing photos of my baby that made me feel great when I woke up in the morning!”
“I was very nervous leaving my little guy because while he is a cat, he is very social and affectionate. When I’m gone for a while he starts get anxious. First visit I could tell he found an instant friend in Sanya. She shared so many snuggly pictures it made me feel completely at ease to be away from him. She will always be my go to sitter moving forward!”
“Jillian is amazing!! She’s watched our two fur babies multiple times and they adore her!! She’s incredibly responsive and treats your babies as if they’re her own. She also does a great job keeping you up to date with pictures and texts throughout her time!!”
“Jessica is an absolutely wonderful dog sitter, she’s super helpful with being flexible around my weird work schedule and Jacks always seems to be in a great mood after a visit from her.”
“Melinda was very easy and pleasant to work with from start to finish. We felt very comfortable having our dog in her care which made for a stress-free vacation for us. We could tell from the pictures Melinda took that our girl was happy and and from the notes that she was well cared for. Would happily hire Melinda again.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication to providing specialized care tailored to each pet's needs. I have experience in training puppies and providing gentle care for senior pets. I understand that every furry friend is unique, and I strive to create a personalized and loving experience for each one. My goal is to ensure their comfort, happiness, and overall well-being while their owners are away. Being home full time allows me to fully dedicate myself to pet care. It's a part of my daily routine, ensuring that I can give your precious fur babies all the attention, love, and care they deserve. Whether it's feeding, playing, or just cuddling, I'm always there for them! As a pet watcher, I make sure to follow any specific instructions given by the owner, such as feeding schedules, administering medications if needed, and providing plenty of playtime and affection. I strive to create a comfortable and familiar environment for the cats/dogs, reducing any stress or anxiety they may experience while their owners are away.
“Marti was truly outstanding with our pup! From the very first visit, she was thoughtful, attentive, and incredibly communicative. She made sure he was well cared for through multiple walks each day—even working around storms and hot weather to make sure he was comfortable and safe. She gave us regular, detailed updates, complete with sweet observations about his mood, habits, and how he was doing while we were away. Our dog can be a bit particular, but Marti clearly understood him and made sure he got just the right balance of activity, affection, and quiet time. She even noticed when he was a little more anxious and made sure to help him walk it off and settle with his favorite kong. We came home to a happy pup, and we felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We'd absolutely recommend Marti to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and communicative caregiver. She's the best!”
About: I've been cat and dog sitting since 2016, staying at friends and family members' homes to provide care for pets while they're away. From that experience, I've learned about feeding, walking, and giving attention to each pet's needs. I'm always curious to learn more about them and being a reliable pet sitter for the family. I also like to volunteer at the local animal shelter. I work fully remote as a web designer. Sometimes, I go in the office if needed, but my schedule is flexible. I just need a heads up at least 3+ days prior to make sure it works with my schedule. I prefer to stay at the client's home while they're away, so the pets can stay comfortable in their familiar space and get attention during the day.
About: Hey! Thanks for taking the time to get to know me. I am a lifelong dog lover, having owned small medium and large breeds since childhood and throughout my life. From Dachshunds, to Dalmatians, to Great Danes and Rhodesians, I have vast experience with all dog sizes and strengths; As well as the psychology and temperament that accompanies each breed, and the necessary handling and demeanor. The time spent as a Veterinary technicians assistant in college means I'm also familiar with some basic dog first aid (doggy first aid kit with me), as well as know what to look for and asist in order to make sure each breed is comfortable (ex. larger and or longer breeds may have hip dysplasia or other difficulties). Having spent every summer on a large farm with over 10 dogs, I not only seem to have a second sense for dog behavior, but understand their psychology in a group situation, the hierarchy involved, as well as the need for a sense of security and comfort. I am the one my friends call to come help train their dogs, or even accompany them on a hike in case some first aid is necessary. Moreover three of my close friends are veterinary doctors, whom I speak with daily, and are a great source for any information needed. I have extensive experience with both young puppies, and older dogs who may or may not have some incontinence or other medical issues. I am very familiar with dogs with special needs, as my own previous dog was partially paralyzed, and required medication. At the end of the day, I just love dogs and want them to be as happy and healthy as possible, including cooking custom meals :) I work remotely and at my own pace, so dogs always come first. There is a well groomed dog park across the street that we can go to at any moments notice. I have a dog proofed home, with a very friendly and submissive doggy to keep yours company. I have a ring doorbell camera that monitors the only entrance/exit; There is a very nice fenced dog park across the street with a dog agility course. There are pleanty of dog toys, chews and treats. The dogs are welcome on all the furniture, with a dedicated TV playing doggyTV in the background.
“Megan did a great job taking care of our menagerie of pets! I liked seeing their pictures every day while we were out of town. Even our most shy cat came out of hiding to meet her!”
“Lindsey did a great job, taking care of our dog and cats! We contacted her on short notice and she came and did a meet and greet and understood what we needed done. When we arrived home we had a happy pup, who had received his meditations, and cats who didn’t care that we left or came home.😂”
“Skylar has been excellent with my two Shihtzus who were not accustomed to living in a hotel snd being walked when I was working. He gave me suck a sense of relief knowing that my babies, Gracie and Kobe, were being taken car of!”
“Claire was wonderful. I reached out to her in the morning a couple of hours before I needed her to come check on my three dogs. She made it happen on really short notice and played with them for an hour. Very grateful. She is patient and kind with our dogs and she is very reliable. Thank you Claire!”
“Anum quickly became loved by our 4 dogs and 2 cats. She easily remembered all the details of their feeding and schedule. She fed the entire crew and kept them all happy during a long Easter Weekend. Our emotionally needy GSP and barky Aussie became good friends with Anum. Even our very shy dog came out of her shell !”
“Kelly was exceptional at watching my 2 cats while I was away. There were daily updates with pics and a short narrative of how the cats were doing. That is always appreciated. She made some great suggestions, and they worked perfectly. Communication was excellent as well. I will book Kally for future cat sitting.”

Kayla was so wonderful! She went above and beyond with our dog Duke, making sure he was adequately cared for. They took really nice long walks and she even went back to check on him an additional time even though we didn’t book/pay for it. She was incredibly communicative and sent photos so we could enjoy our time away 💗 We will absolutely be rebooking in the future!
Nicole was wonderful taking care of my cat, Kafka, while I was out of town. She made sure he had his food, gave him his medication, and spent time playing with him and also send me pictures of him. Since Kafka is 19 years old, I really appreciated her care and attention. I highly recommend Nicole!
Michelle was wonderful taking care of Leo and Lucia. She sent detailed updates and photos after each visit, and we really enjoyed reading about her interactions with Leo. She was attentive, thoughtful and even took care of a few things we hadn’t asked her to do. You can tell she genuinely loves cats, and her updates gave us a few good laughs. We’d definitely book her again and highly recommend her!
Cassidy took excellent care of my two cats while we were out of town. She followed all care instructions, gave them their medications, helped with packages, and even put the cat furniture back into place after the cleaners came by. We look forward to booking Cassidy again soon!
We've trusted John with the care of our 17-year-old Shih tzu-Poodle for over a year now, and he's become our go-to choice whenever we travel. He's consistently reliable and punctual, and he never cuts corners—he always stays for the full 30-minute visit, giving our beloved pet the attention she deserves. What really sets him apart is his attention to detail: he sends us pictures after every visit, which has become the highlight of our days while we're away. Knowing our girl is in such caring hands brings us complete peace of mind. We can't recommend John highly enough, and we're grateful to have found such a trustworthy pet sitter.
I'd tell everyone that they should work with Brooke, but I'm afraid that if I do she may not have time for my Sadie :) But seriously, you should work with Brooke. She's so caring and thoughtful with my pup and I feel more peaceful leaving Sadie knowing that Brooke is going to check in on her.
We were super worried at first because it’s always hard to leave our dogs with someone else, but she quickly made us feel comfortable and reassured. She was very reliable, kind, and understanding, and we could tell that she genuinely cared about our dogs. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. We really appreciated everything she did and would definitely trust her to take care of our dogs again.
Abigail took care of my 2 aging fur babies for several days. I couldn't be happier when I saw the daily photos of my female cat being social with Abigail!!! My female cat is normally very standoffish with strangers, but not with Abigail. Animals know when a person is good, and they loved her! My fur babies give Abigail 5+ Stars. I will definitely schedule with Abigail again. :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Countryside is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 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 16,096 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Countryside. 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 Countryside. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
