“Grayce was wonderful with our two Goldens. She was punctual and super responsive to messages during our trip. She also took multiple pictures of the pups and left a detailed report after each visit. We definitely recommend you book with Grayce if you need a sitter!”
About: I have worked at 3 animal shelters and 3 zoos I can handle any critter you throw at me. I have experience with big, small, young and old. I am comfortable with administering medication and handling behavior needs. I have also worked extensively with birds. I am a new mom so I am flexible on weekdays and weekends on a part time basis. More flexible if I am allowed to bring my daughter I have worked in every environment with many different care needs. I can accommodate to any service you need regarding your pet in your home
About: I’ve always had animals growing up and have always had an interest in taking care of animals. As soon as I was old enough family and friends have had me watch their animals. Dogs, cats, rats, bunnies, reptiles, you name it! I could not imagine having a life without animals. Currently I have two Siberian huskies, two cats, and one bunny. I’ve also had a lot of experience giving dogs and cats medication, and know all the tricks to get them to take it in a quick and easy manner. I’d like to say I’m very responsible, and will absolutely treat your animals like my own. My mornings and afternoons are typically very available, because I own an aerial studio and those classes are mainly held at night. I am a very active person so I am always looking to add more walks into my daily routine. At my home I have a fenced in yard, and two friendly, playful dogs. I do have two cats as well, but they can easily be separated. I also have two crates at my house that both of my dogs comfortable can go in when needing to be separated. At clients homes I can do anything you need me to for your pet. Treats, walks, playtime, crate time, and even snuggles.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs for over 10 years and have always loved caring for animals. I recently moved out of my parents’ home after losing my last childhood dog, and I’m not quite ready to have my own dog just yet. I’d love to spend that time caring for and loving other people’s pets! I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels and understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. I’m happy to take dogs on walks, play with them, give them lots of attention, and keep them comfortable in a home environment. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and will treat your pet like they are my own. I work three night shifts per week as a nurse, while my partner works weekday mornings and afternoons as an electrician. Because of our schedules, there are plenty of days and times when I’m available to give pets my full attention with his help. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and companionship. We have an unfenced lawn at home and live on a quiet dead-end road with safe walking areas around a lake, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time. I’m also happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pet! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’m happy to take your dogs out on a leash for walks and exercise. Although we do not have a fenced-in yard, we have a lawn and I will always make sure pets are supervised and safely leashed when outside. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and love I would give my own. I’m also happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, or routine instructions to help your pet feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Kelly is exceptional and passionate about her work with animals. She did drop ins for our old, particular cat while we were away for a few days. We had peace of mind that our cat was well taken care of. She went above and beyond and we will certainly be using her for any animal needs in the future.”
“Jennifer was great! She spent the whole 30 minutes with our dog and booked last minute for us!! Thank you Jennifer, I strongly recommend her if looking for a sitter/walker.”
About: I am a lifetime dog lover and would love to care for your dog like they were my own. My last dog, Finn, gained his angel wings in June and was with me for 15 amazing years. I'd like to continue caring for other pups in his honor! I am also an approved foster for a local dog rescue, and have experience with puppies, mama dogs, and older dogs. I am very happy to care for older dogs as they hold a special place in my heart! If your dog boards with me, they will get tons of love, snuggles, exercise and walks, and have a safe place to be while you are away. My goal is to make my home their second favorite place to be :) I currently work from home full time and have a very flexible schedule. I do have two school aged children at home, so we have a very consistent daily and weekly routine. Until recently, we had a dog at home, so pet care fits very naturally into our days. We have a large back yard away from the road. It is not fenced in, but I will take your pet out on a leash for bathroom breaks, walking for exercise and some supervised playing! There will not be any outside time that is unsupervised. I am very familiar with crate trained dogs or with uncrated dogs as long as they are safe outside of the crate (as in they are old enough not to eat dangerous things etc). If you have a puppy that is not house trained yet, I request that they be in a crate for night time. Inside the home, they will have access only to the floor that I am on at the moment, so as to keep them safe and out of trouble! We have plenty of gates and other items to block off different parts of the house. Mostly they will just be hanging out with me! I also have an octagon style play pen for puppies.
About: I’ve owned, trained, and cared for pets of all shapes and sizes in my life. Whether it be providing a soft place to land for a shy soul, playing fetch to tire out a ball-crazed pup, or putting together a training schedule for a young pet in need of consistency, I’ve done it all. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I look forward to the opportunity to meet and exceed them. Because I limit my client roster to provide the absolute best care, I currently have openings for: • Saturdays, Mondays: Full-day availability (perfect for your weekend day trips!) • Sunday, Tues-Fri: Afternoon blocks My schedule will expand into steady, full-week availability later this fall, so lock in your spot now! I am fully focused on safety, reliability, and giving your dog personalized attention. I will treat your pets and your home as if they were my own, aiming to leave them better than when I got to them!

About: I’ve had many pets my whole life, cats, dogs, and a couple hamsters. I got both of my current dogs when they were puppies and I have trained both of them very well. they are now 2 and 10. I also have a Cat who is 2 and very spoiled. All of my animals have dealt with medical issues so i have experience with many treatments.

“Dalyce is professional and dependable and a very good communicator. Most importantly, she has a great disposition for both my anxious shephard and super mellow senior. Felt very comfortable knowing they were in her care.”
About: I had the joy of a Lhasa Apso Miniature Toy Collie for four years, showing my love for both felines and canines. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I found a nurturing home with a dear friend for my dog. Now, working from home, I'm eager to bring a pet's companionship back into my life. I offer a clean, safe environment and enjoy spending time outdoors, soaking up fresh air during breaks and lunchtime walks around my complex. Creating a pet-friendly atmosphere is important to me, and it would be a pleasure to share my home with a furry friend. I'm gentle and affectionate with animals, and they naturally warm to me. I'm looking forward to meeting your pet and hopefully becoming your next sitter. I'm available for boarding drop-off after 3:30 p.m. on weekdays and after 9 a.m. on weekends. Pick-up time is by 5 p.m. on weekdays and by 3 p.m. on weekends, but I'm flexible if needed. I do not currently have any pets. In the near future, upon purchasing a home with acres of land and a secure yard, I plan to welcome a pet into my family.
“Sarah-Jane was a great care giver for our cat, Loki. She made sure Loki was fed, brushed, played with and cared for during our absence. Sarah-Jane precisely followed my care instructions and left our house key where we asked her to leave it. I highly recommend her for your pet’s needs.”
About: I have a wide range of knowledge in animal care. I provide senior animal care, medication administration (have experience with liquid syringe fed, food mix ins), I am patient and willing to learn and help out with any necessary training, exercising, and/or special medical care. I have two parakeets myself, and spend a lot of time at my parents house with my family dogs. I also have experience caring for rabbits and cats as well although I am willing to learn to care for basically any type of animal. I am a hairstylist, and often have the ability to shorten my days to accommodate bathroom breaks, feeding, and other important care times. The only main activity outside of work is going to the gym, but I can easily make a cardio day by going for walks/hikes with your fur baby’s! I am dedicated to following routines that you have set up for your pets such as crating, training skills, and special requests to keep your pets at ease and safe.
“Sam was SO nice to accommodate our last minute booking and was great with our pups! She checked in every time she visited and was able to deal with my big monster’s jumping. Can’t thank her enough!”

Grayce was wonderful with our two Goldens. She was punctual and super responsive to messages during our trip. She also took multiple pictures of the pups and left a detailed report after each visit. We definitely recommend you book with Grayce if you need a sitter!
Taylor should be the poster sitter/walker for Rover! She is an absolute angel and my dog Einstein loves her. She’s incredibly reliable, sweet and my dog immediately warmed up to her. She is incredibly communicative, takes lots of pictures and is just a wonderful person all around! If you need someone to walk your pup or do drop ins, Taylor is your girl!!!
Jaimie was absolutely fantastic with Madeline! She took care of everything from feedings and litter maintenance to cleaning up unexpected hairball messes. She gave Madeline so much love and sent the best photo updates throughout the stay. I’m so grateful for her attentive care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sweet, reliable pet sitter!
Eleanor is amazing and my go-to sitter for my two cats. She went above and beyond while I was away for a week. This is my 3rd time with Eleanor and she has always been reliable. I feel completely at ease knowing she is taking care of my fur babies. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Derry is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $37 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 3,111 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Derry. 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 Derry. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
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.
