About: I've been taking care of my friends' and family's pets for years now. At first, I would take care of their cats despite being allergic just so they could have someone reliable (plus I love cats). Within the past year, I've been starting to pet sit for dogs both overnight and stop-in visits. I'm a huge dog lover, from small dogs to big dogs, especially the big ones that still think they're little babies. I would be honored if you trusted me with the care of ur pets <3 (plus I love sending photos of ur pets while ur away just so you know they're in good hands) I currently work 4-8 on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I'm free throughout the morning and after work. I'm starting classes at the start of September, so I'm free to care for ur furry friends any time between those slots. I'm a huge animal lover, so if your pets need extra love when ur away, I can 100% do that. Im also a big nature person, so daily walks are more than fine. I know some animals are afraid of storms or loud noises, and when that happens, I tend to stay with them to offer some comfort so they feel more at ease.

About: I'm a huge dog lover and have one of my own who I love to spoil. He is a 5 year old beagle mix who loves going on walks and I always take him on for long ones when I can. My children and I love to play with him by throwing him his ball, although he hasn't yet mastered bringing the ball back to us yet. I grew up with dogs and have always loved to play with them and kiss them. I get along very well with all kinds of dogs and have never had any problems before when meeting new dogs. I'm very responsible and trust worthy and will ensure that your dog gets the best care while in my hands. I'm typically at home around 3 and I am free afterwords. On weekends however, I am free all day.

About: I’ve been around dogs of all ages and breeds my entire life as well as cats. I know how to handle anywhere from kittens/puppies to senior pets. I’ve helped my family and friends walk and care for their animals as well as groom them. I personally have a senior dog and did have a cat who had special medical needs later in her life. I am currently home from school for the summer so I’m available a lot to care for your animals. I prefer weekdays but would be willing to do weekends. At your home I am able to follow the routine that you have in place for your animals and have a fun energetic attitude to them entertained and feel safe.

About: As a recently graduated high school student, I’ve taken part in numerous veterinary classes, shelter start-up programs, and many other events that advance my experience with dogs and other animals alike. To be transparent, I am looking to make a bit of money before college starts and would love to help others in need with their furry friends :)) My availability remains open all day, with 3 other people in my house. I have practice from 7-9 pm but that would be the only time I’d be away from the house. I am extremely flexible and am more than happy to bend availability for the benefit of your pets! I have a 2 acre fenced in back yard, along with two other very friendly dogs (labradors aged 8 and 12) who are more than willing to play. I am also more than happy with allowing animals on furniture if you’d like. Treats, of course, will be provided and at the ready.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years and it’s something I genuinely love doing. I’ve always been a dog person and having a dog of my own for many years taught me how much joy, comfort and personality they add to a home. That experience shaped the way I care for every pet I meet — with patience, attention and the same affection I’d give to my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all temperaments and energy levels and make sure each one feels safe, relaxed and understood. Whether it’s keeping up with their routines, giving them plenty of playtime or just being a calm presence, I’m committed to making their time with me happy and stress‑free. Your pet will always be treated like family. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I’m home consistently, have a flexible schedule, and make time every day for walks, play, and check‑ins. I enjoy having pets around, so giving them attention and keeping them on their routine is something I naturally build into my day. I follow whatever routine your pet is used to — feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I keep a close eye on them and send regular updates so you always know how they’re doing. Whether in your home or mine, I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and getting plenty of attention.

About: Hi! My name is Liz and I LOVE dogs. My family has always had dogs, from beagle to German Shepherd Dog. I finally was able to rescue my own GSD mix last summer, so as a pet parent I fully appreciate what's it's like to be a dog mom. Please let me care for your pup as if it were my own! I am a teacher, which means I have a very flexible schedule in the summer and on weekends, and will be happy to care for your best friend while you're on vacation, out of town, at work, or otherwise unavailable. I am committed to maintaining your dog's normal schedule- food, potty breaks, walks, and rules that you already have in place in your home. I want your dog to feel safe, happy, loved, and well taken care of. I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby!

Ariana took care of our 17 year old cat for over 3 weeks while we were away. We are relatively new to this area and were a little reluctant to let someone we didn't know visit our house and take care of our cat. We feel very lucky for finding Ariana. She did a wonderful job taking care of Dashy and communicating with us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter.

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats through pet sitting and my work as a veterinary assistant. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering medications, walking, cleaning, and providing attentive care to pets of all ages and personalities. My veterinary experience helps me recognize and address signs of stress, illness, or injury so you’re ensured your pets are in safe, caring, and knowledgeable hands. Though I do work full time, I have plenty of off days during the week that I’d be more than happy to dedicate to further take care of other animals when at home, able to give my services on Thursday, Sundays, and some Saturdays I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment in my apartment and do my best to tailor my care to each pet’s personality to make them as comfortable as possible. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, comfort, and health needs while following their routine to a tee so they can feel as comfortable as possible, whether that’s at my home or at yours. I make sure pets have access to fresh water, frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. When I have the opportunity to care for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and like to keep owners updated with messages and cute photos for peace of mind. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while their owners are away.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Damascus

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Damascus on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 .

As of July 2026, there are 16,238 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Damascus. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Damascus 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 Damascus 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 Damascus 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 Damascus. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
