I was hesitant to have someone come to my home but Kristina proofed to be the perfect person. I would highly recommend her and yes she will be my go to person for any of my furry kids. Thank you Kristina for giving me a peace of mind while I was away. You are a gem and a blessing to our family.”

“Madelyn and her husband were wonderful with watching our dogs. I have a very particular German shepherd and they really accommodated her behavior. I have another dog that needs daily medications and sometimes they are not the easiest to give her but they made sure she received them every day. They kept me updated and sent lots of cute photos. Thank you so much Madelyn and Barrett, yall are the best!”

About: Hi, I’m Nyeira! As a dedicated pet owner and animal lover, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide the same level of care, attention, and love that I would want for my own dogs. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and currently have three dogs of my own. Two were adopted from shelters, and one was a stray I rescued while in college. Caring for pets from different backgrounds has taught me patience, consistency, and how to help animals feel safe and comfortable in new situations. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their dogs and cats because they know I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and take their care seriously. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior companions, and I am comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I will make sure they receive personalized care and attention. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, although I generally prefer working with dogs under 80 pounds. Communication is extremely important to me. As a pet parent myself, I know how reassuring it is to receive updates while you’re away. You can expect consistent communication, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I currently have open availability and ask that bookings or cancellations be made at least 48 hours in advance whenever possible. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I have a very flexible schedule and am available both weekdays and weekends, with open availability throughout the day to accommodate your pet’s needs. I am able to provide care in the form of house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, depending on what works best for you and your pet. While I do not offer boarding in my home, I am fully committed to caring for pets in their familiar environment where they feel most comfortable. I am adaptable with timing and happy to follow your preferred schedule and routine to ensure consistency and comfort for your pet. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care whenever you need it, with clear communication and dependable availability. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency in every pet care situation. While I do not offer boarding in my own home, I provide care in the client’s home through house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks so pets can remain in a familiar and comfortable environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any specific behavioral or comfort preferences. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine and personality to ensure they feel safe and secure while their owner is away. I am experienced with dogs of all ages and am comfortable administering medications when needed. I also provide consistent updates, including messages and photos, so pet parents can feel confident and reassured while they are away. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy presence for pets—minimizing stress by maintaining their normal routine and treating their space and care instructions with respect and attentiveness.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for animals through my work as a veterinary technician, where I have developed strong skills in animal handling, administering medications, monitoring health and behavior, providing nutritional support, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable. I am confident handling dogs of different sizes, breeds, temperaments, and energy levels, including those who may be nervous, anxious, or need extra patience and gentle care. I understand the importance of recognizing changes in behavior, following specific care instructions, maintaining proper hygiene, and prioritizing every pet’s safety and well-being. Above all, I am passionate about providing loving, attentive, and dependable care. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply some extra love and companionship, I will treat them like family and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I currently work full time as a veterinary technician, but I’m available Saturday’s and Sundays all day, including overnight to pet sit your fur babies. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. As someone with hands-on veterinary experience, I understand how important it is to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs to ensure they receive personalized attention and compassionate care. I am attentive to their behavior, practice safe handling, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and take extra precautions during walks, playtime, and interactions with other animals. I live in a one bedroom apt where I have dog park access as well as a bathing room. I also believe communication is essential, so I am happy to provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and at home while giving their owners confidence that their furry family members are in trustworthy, caring hands.

About: I’ve been house sitting on and off for almost two years! I’ve grown up with pets my whole life (I’ve had dogs, cats, and even a lizard!) I absolutely love animals, and growing up I was taught that our pets were part of the family, and I live by that sentiment now as an adult. Currently, I am a full-time student and I also work a part-time job, which can make it hard to be available for extensive periods of time. However, I am extremely flexible in going back and forth from multiple responsibilities, and have no issue sitting overnight! I think as much as it is important to meet all of your pets basic needs, it is equally as important to make sure they get plenty of attention while their owners are away. In the past, I’ve spent any time I could playing with my pets and keeping them company as they await the return of their owners.

About: I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and coworkers for years—and I absolutely love it! Whether it’s snuggly cats, goofy dogs, curious birds, or even turtles and fish, I’ve cared for all kinds of pets like they’re my own. With a lifetime of experience as a pet parent (over 40 years!), I’m comfortable with everything from walks and playtime to litter box duty, feeding routines, and giving meds when needed. I know every pet has their own quirks and comfort zones, and I always take the time to earn their trust and keep them happy while you’re away.

In addition to pet care, I’m happy to water plants, bring in mail or packages, take out the trash, and help with other small tasks to keep your home feeling cared for and secure. You can count on regular updates and photos so you always know how your pets are doing.

About: Growing up with both dogs & cats my entire life, I’ve been around a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I work well with every animal I come across and enjoy caring for any & all — this includes experience with puppy care & training! I’m kind, fun-loving, sociable, and can adapt based on an animal’s needs. I lead with compassion for animals & their owns alike. From family to friends, I always ensure your fur baby is looked after with the utmost of care. As I’m currently working from home, I am readily available for walks, check-ins, house sitting, and boarding throughout the day/night. Overnight stays are no issue here either! Depending on the instructions received from the owner(s), I will be sure to follow any necessary requirements to ensure your pet is looked after & loved for the time that I am there. Whether it’s forms of training, being let in & out, walks, check-ins, etc. - nothing is ever too much. Favorite treats, toys & activities are to be followed to make sure your pet (or pets) is as comfortable & happy as can be!

About: Hey there! I’m a former veterinary technician with 10 and a half years of experience and a background in dog training. As a huge animal lover, I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds and sizes, from teacup Yorkies to Bull Mastiffs. Every dog that stays in my home is treated like my own—spoiled and well cared for—because it’s a vacation for them, too! I also have a one-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix who is super friendly and absolutely loves other dogs. I look forward to taking care of your sweet pup!! I make it a priority to make sure the dog is fulfilled mentally and physically before and after work. I typically get up about an hour and a half before to exercise my own dog before I head into work. And then I spend about two hours once I’m home. Occasionally, I am also able to come home at lunch if needed. I treat them as my own and tend/cater to their needs. Each dog is different so each dog will require a different level of attention. But every dog that steps foot gets one on one attention and needs are meet.

About: I've been taking care of different animals since I was a kid. From farm livestock to exotic animals with more specific needs, I'm confident I can keep your pet very happy and comfortable. I'm currently a college student full time, however I have many large gaps in my schedule. I'm fully free on weekends and just ask for my specific free times during the week, as they can vary. I'm a on campus living student so I can't have any pets over, but I'm available to do pet walks, quick visits, and overnight watches.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Dale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dale is $11 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $44 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 October 2026, there are 5,536 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dale. 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 .

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 , 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 Dale. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
