“Mika did an excellent job taking care of our two cats! It was wonderful knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. She was reliable, trustworthy, and made the entire experience stress free. I would absolutely trust Mika with our cats again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!”

About: Hi, I’m Rubi. If you book with us, both my wife Martha and I will be taking care of your pet. We truly love animals, not just as pets, but as family. Before accepting a new booking, we like to do a meet and greet. This helps make sure your pet feels comfortable with us and also gets along well with our two dogs. It’s important to us that everyone feels safe, calm, and at ease from the beginning. We know how it feels to leave your dog with someone else, because we would only trust people who care for them the same way we do. That’s exactly how we care for every pet that stays with us, like they are our own. We have two dogs at home, Oddie, our 5-year-old Cavapoo, and Toffy, our 15-year-old Bichon Frise and Maltese mix. They’ve taught us patience, attention, and how every dog has their own personality and needs. Your pet will be in a calm, loving home where they are allowed on the couch, can relax, play, and just feel comfortable. We go on walks, spend time with them, and make sure they are never just being watched, they are being truly cared for. I work mornings, and Martha works from home full time, so there is always someone present. Your pet will not be left alone or ignore. We believe in letting dogs be themselves. Every pet adjusts differently to a new environment, and we understand that it can sometimes be a little stressful at first. That’s why we ask about their routines, habits, and preferences, so we can keep things as familiar as possible and reduce that initial stress. Our goal is to make the transition gentle and help them feel safe, understood, and at home. We’ll also send updates and photos, because we know how important that is when you’re away. At the end of the day, we treat your pet the way we would want someone to treat ours, with love, patience, and real attention. I work in the morning at the moment, but Martha works from home full time so she will be available at all times if I am not around. We make sure to understand your pet's routines and habits, as well as any special needs they may have, such as medication or dietary restrictions, and provide plenty of toys and beds for the pets to use.

“Uduak was wonderful! She was communicative with my husband and I, and very patient with my pup who is not comfortable with new people. Uduak followed instructions to a tee, and also used her discernment in caring for Mozzy (even cleaning up an accident he had without us requesting she do so). 10 out of 10 would recommend. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.”

About: Having taken care of a precious Springer Spaniel for 14 years (Cocoa), I'll do my best to take care of your dog as if he or she were my own. I'm usually quite responsive when it comes to bookings and arrangements, responding within 15-20 minutes. I'll take them out to play and walk and feed them at least three times a day. I'll also bathe them, if need be. Most importantly, I will be as flexible and accommodating as possible to ensure that your dog will have fun while with me. I currently have open availability in my schedule, so I could most definitely sit your dog full-time if necessary. Above all else, I just love working with dogs as they are my favorite animal.

“Mary is spectacular! Our dogs are rambunctious and a LOT to deal with. Mary handles them with ease and comfort. They absolutely love when Aunt Mary comes. I've even had her come drop in when I'm home because the animals enjoy her company. She gives each animal attention, even the ones she's not watching (Cat). Highly recommend!!!”

“The 3 boys (cats) enjoyed their time worth Corridsa and her ability to drop in on them made a highly stressful summer resort to manage. They was some initial confusion about hope long their custody were supposed to be, which she addressed very quickly. She is communicative, thorough, and very reliable! Exactly what we needed, especially with the world going wonky on us the last few months.”

About: I have been someone that many families have relied on ever since I was around 11 years old. Through these years of experience, I have been able to take care of dogs of all shapes and sizes with all the support they need, such as walks, baths, etc. I am always versatile and understanding when it comes to pet sitting because I want to make sure the dog/owner can trust the pet sitter. Over the past two years, I have gained additional experience in a professional setting as a PetCare Specialist at Perfect Pet Resort. This required me to not only handle and care for multiple dogs or cats throughout the day but also to pass a behavioral dog class beforehand to gain more knowledge. I am currently available any day of the week to be an available pet sitter and am very flexible with what the pet sitter requires for their hours. I have a fenced in yard with two dogs currently. I have created a safe and knowledgeable environment for my pets to make sure they are always comfortable and happy. When it comes to visiting other families homes I will always make sure to know and understand the rules so I can follow them accordingly. With this I will then proceed to make sure the dog is taken care of in the best way possible as their family is away.

About: I am a dog handler for work and have been doing this job for 3 years now. I grew up with big dogs and cats my whole life, and have so much love and compassion for all animals. I am currently working full time away from home. I work a Panama 12 schedule which is 12 hour shifts with every other weekend off rotating. My schedule is from 3am-4pm and sometimes 6am-2pm. I work on JBA base and can easily stop in to let your pup out if need be! I will sometimes have to leave the local area for work but will be notified in advance! My schedule can seem kinda crazy but I love to work! I currently live in a basement apartment with a huge secluded backyard that goes right to the edge of the woods. The back yard is very big but not fenced in, I have a long line that can be placed into the ground if you prefer your pup to be leashed. I have a dog room in my house with 2 couches, 2 large size dog kennels, plenty or different toys, slow feeders, massive water bowl/filtered water bowl, food storage containers along with a security camera which allows me to check in the pups while away.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life! I’ve had both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have helped care for family members’ pets when needed. My experience includes caring for puppies who need extra supervision, as well as a senior dog who required medication. These experiences have taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to changes in a pet’s behavior and needs. I’m comfortable following your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, and daily routines within my experience. I understand that every pet is different, and I want to make sure yours receives attentive, loving care tailored to their needs. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I enjoy having the opportunity to give pets extra attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m organized, dependable, and happy to work with your pet’s existing schedule to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. 🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their usual routine while their favorite humans are away. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any special care your pet needs. I believe in providing plenty of love, patience, attention, and companionship while respecting each pet’s unique personality. Whether that means playtime, a walk around the neighborhood, cuddles on the couch, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for. I also love sending photo updates and messages so you can see how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. Your home, your pet’s routine, and your instructions will always be treated with care and respect. ❤️🐾

In the afternoon, we head out for another walk, and if applicable, a trip to the doggy park for extra social time. Treat time is always a highlight, and in the evening, we wind down with a final walk before tucking your pup into bed with soothing music for a peaceful night’s sleep. If your dog is more of a lounger and loves to relax while watching TV, we’re happy to accommodate their favorite pastimes, too! Your dog becomes part of our routine—and part of our family.

About: I have been a professional Dog handler and sitter for 6 years and have trained many house dogs as well as service dogs. I love all kinds of dogs and always strive to give them the love they all deserve! I am a full time dog handler and have worked along side other dog trainers/boarders throughout the years in both the U.S. and the United Kingdom A home with a small front and back yard for the dogs to exercise/play in as well as a long forest walk area directly infront of the house to walk in. I usually crate train the dogs pretty easily to get them used to being inside one incase I step out or to have them sleep at night.

Mika was vey friendly and engaged with Biggie and Smalls. Smalls is typically the shier of the two and he took to Mika immediately. Mika is knowledgable and caring and was accommodating and flexible and I would definitely trust her to care for Biggie and Smalls again!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Croom

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Croom is $33 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $43 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 14,347 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Croom. 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 Croom. 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.
