“Vivienne is always good with our cats. Our one cat Lucy has a seizure disorder and needs medication twice daily. And Vivienne is really good at giving lucy her medication even when she is being difficult. We enjoy seeing the pictures of our fur babies in the visit summaries while we are away. We highly recommend Vivienne and will continue to use her services in the future.”
“Joanne was amazing!!! She took excellent care of our babies and sent lots of pictures from each visit. I loved that! She was communicative, reliable, and punctual. Our kitties seemed to love her. I would definitely recommend!”

“Madison did great with my cat and dog. She was very professional and friendly, and they both took to her right away when she came over for a pre-trip meet. She was also punctual and polite and always uploaded pictures when she came by for the feed/walk. I will definitely be a repeat customer of hers.”
“Olivia was great! She took really good care of our boys, including our senior dachshund. She was communicative and always sent photos when she came to feed them! Definitely going to use Olivia again!”
About: I've been caring for animals for over 8 years and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Whether it's going on walks, playing, feeding, or providing extra attention to senior pets, I am happy to accommodate each pet's individual needs. I'm patient, attentive, and understand how important it is to maintain their routines. I'm currently a medical student, so my schedule varies depending on classes and exams. However, I have flexibility throughout the week and am generally available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting with advance planning. I also have availability on weekends and enjoy being active, so I'm always happy to take dogs on walks and give them plenty of exercise and attention. Your pet's safety and comfort are my priorities. I take the time to understand each owner's instructions, feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs before providing care. I'm attentive on walks, mindful of my surroundings, and make sure pets are always supervised and secure. I also believe in keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
“I am so beyond thrilled to have found Mia! She treated my two kitties like they were her own and even made progress bonding with my spicy boy, Salvatore. Mia sent daily pictures and detailed updates and even stayed overtime to give extra attention to my needy kitten, Albie. She helped keep the boys spaces nice & clean which was a major bonus. I highly recommend Mia, & there is no doubt I will asking her to watch my little guys next time I’m out of town! Thank you, Mia!”
About: Peace of mind pet care! Hi there! I'm Noelle! I'm a 35 year old animal enthusiast. I have years of personal experience being a dog and cat guardian. I have also worked with animals in a retail setting and a shelter setting. I bring to the table knowledge of pet behavior, basic care, food, toys, treats, health and wellness products, accessories, and more (a little of everything). I believe all pets are family members and will treat them as though they were my own. I will try my best to accommodate any special needs or requests you may have. I'm always receptive to questions or concerns so feel free to ask! I'm trying to earn money to help support my furry family by spending some time with yours! I look forward to making some new fur friends! Please allow enough time before your furbaby is under my care for a Meet and Greet. I will not accept service requests without a proper meeting! I want to confirm your baby, my babies, and myself will be safe and comfortable during our interactions! Don't hesitate to ask me questions if your booking falls outside my normal availability. I will do my best to make your needs work with my schedule! I am Fully Insured and Bonded through BIC and a member of NAPPS since 2026! Currently trying to make this my main kibbles and bits! I take clients on all days of the week and am NOT an early riser! Afternoons and evenings are perfect! However, I'll consider any request and try to make it work! I am hypervigilant with my own furbabies and will be with yours as well! Potty time will always be supervised (if you have a fence) and a leash is a must for walks! I will stay by their side the whole visit!

I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, as well as cats and other small animals. In my own home, pets are treated like family with plenty of playtime, affection, and a focus on their unique routines and needs. Whether it’s a walk, overnight stay, or drop in visit, I’m committed to keeping your pet happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. Caring for pets fits seamlessly into my daily routine.

I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and plenty of space inside for pets to relax. I live in a mother-daughter style home, which allows me to separate pets when needed—perfect for those who prefer their own space.

You can trust that your pet will be in a calm, clean, and loving environment.
About: Hi, I'm Aly! I'm a local Scranton dog walker and pet sitter with 15 years of pet care experience, and I'm available for dog walks and drop-in visits 7 days a week. I work remotely, so my weekday schedule is flexible and I can fit in midday walks while you're at work. Same-day requests are welcome! I have 4 repeat clients on Rover and send photo and status updates on every walk, so you'll always know how your pup is doing. I'm patient, responsible, and punctual, and I've cared for everything from new puppies to senior dogs, including pups who are a little hesitant on walks. I've had pets my whole life and treat every dog like my own. I'm also experienced giving oral medication and insulin injections from caring for my diabetic cat, and I'm happy to care for cats too. Send me a message and I'll get back to you quickly. I can't wait to meet you and your pup! I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible for morning and evening visits, midday walks, medication timing, and last-minute bookings. My own days already revolve around feeding times and my cat's insulin doses, so keeping your pet on their routine comes naturally. Before your first booking, I'll set up a meet-and-greet so your pet can get to know me and I can learn their routine: feeding times, medications, leash habits, hiding spots, and quirks. I follow your instructions exactly, keep doors, gates, and windows secure, and watch for changes in appetite, bathroom habits, or behavior. If anything seems off, I'll let you know right away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dalton
This is my second time booking with Marissa, this time, as 2 back-to-back weekends. My travels were filled with airport disasters including a full days delay. Marissa was super understanding and flexible so much that she had no problem going to see the girls the extra day I was away which was very reassuring that my girls would be okay 🥹. I am forever thankful for her help and I’m sure Strawberry and kiwi are as well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 304 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dalton. 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 Dalton. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
