“Katherine was amazing with the kitties! They really enjoyed her stop-overs and she was super amazing, going above and beyond for us. We were so happy knowing they were in her capable care while we were away and will 100% have her hang out with them again next time we travel!”

“Seriously wish I could leave a 10 star review. From 1st contact Colleen C was a quick response and answered all our questions and concerns. We set up a meet and greet for our 3 girl dogs. Since our girls are larger pups and barky but completely friendly, I wanted to make sure Colleen was comfortable. From the minute she walked in for the meet and greet it was obvious that she loved dogs and was 100% comfortable with them. During Colleens drop in to let our girls outside for a potty break while we were out of State, she was so communicative and even sent us a video and photos of the dogs. We had no hesitation hiring Colleen. Highly recommend Colleen for care of your furry family members.”

“it was my first time using rover Lauren was outstanding !!! The babies were so happy to see her . My lil dog very timid and she sent me a pic of her on her lap which you can’t even try to fake a photo because the little dog is like a wet cat lol . I’m soooo happy we found her . Look forward to her being our permanent best friend for our doggos”

“Our dog is a “rescue dog.” He is unpredictable. When Kayley came for a drop-in visit, he barked at her viciously even though he already knew and liked her. She stayed with him until he became calm. She showed a lot of patience with him. We appreciate her skills and empathy.”

I love an active lifestyle and if they do too they will accompany me if okay the two of us will spend mostly all our time together in one way or another actively or just hanging out.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since before I could walk! I’ve trained my own puppy and taken care of senior dogs. I have patience and love for animals that sets me apart! I am currently a teacher looking for a summer job, which means my schedule is very open throughout the summer months! I am available for daytime visits, walks, feedings, and pet care throughout the week. While I prefer weekdays, I am flexible and may be available on weekends when needed. I am a reliable and trustworthy person who will treat your home, dog, or cat with the same care, respect, and love that I would give my own pets. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else's care, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience.
“This is the first time we had someone take care of our dog Sawyer that was not a relative or friend. We were nervous because Sawyer can be anxious around strangers and he also has some medical issues. Our fears were put to rest at the first meet and greet between Sawyer and Andrew. Andrew immediately engaged Sawyer and listened carefully to my concerns. He was always on time and visited as scheduled. He was faithful in providing reports after each visit that led me to think he already knew what was important to me as Sawyer’s mom. We will definitely contact Andrew if we need him to take care of Sawyer in the future!”

I have a flexible schedule that enables me to easily adjust and adapt my services as needed, ensuring that I can meet the individual requirements of both owner and their pets I am fully pet insured, which provides me with the coverage needed while caring for your furry friends.

“Hallie was a an amazing sitter. She took great care of my cats and always updated me with pictures. She was originally going to look after them for 1 week then I broke my ankle while on vacation. Hallie was so nice to watch them another week and even go get more cat litter while I recovered. I would definitely ask Hallie to watch them again.”

She is the daughter I’ve never had, being I am a mom to 3 boys, and I spoil her TONS and would love to share my time with your fur babies as well.

About: I have owned and/or lived with 4 pets since childhood: three dogs and 1 cat. I am an active walker, feeder, cuddle buddy, caregiver, and devoted Dog-Mom. I have also house/dog-sat in the past for an elderly dog requiring special care for weaker legs. In addition, I have walked other family dogs and aided older dogs in need of special attention. I am currently working freelance on my own schedule, so I am more than willing to free up time for your fur-baby. I am available 5 days a week: Tuesday through Thursday anytime before 6pm and fully free on Monday and Friday, as well as most weekends. I have a 3-year old mutt who I currently walk 2-3 times everyday, feed, and love. I have two dog seats for car transportation (one for a small dog and one for a medium sized dog). I also have extra leashes for walks if need be. I can transport myself to your home with my car.
“Sally was so great with our corgi puppy Finn. She was always quick to answer, extremely reliable, and competent. I’ve never had someone walk him before so I was very nervous, but she gave Finn so much love, treats, and even a new toy! Above and beyond! Thank you so much Sally!!”

About: I have always had a love for animals. Growing up, I always had pets, mostly dogs and cats but also rodents, snakes, and frogs. I have also volunteered for 2 animal shelters in the past and still actively volunteer at one with walking dogs. I am currently in school and working part time but somehow still have plenty of free time! I love helping out people especially when it comes to caring for their pets when they cannot, whether that be at work or on vacation. I will always keep any animals on leashes or in the house. I will keep the same principles as my own dogs and will always keep them safe and keep their boundaries granted.
“Erin was fantastic. My wife was out of town for the week so I had Erin do drop-ins / walks with my 3 dogs while I was at work. The kids had an absolute ball and it gave me peace of mind that they weren’t cooped up all day alone. She was kind, caring, respectful, professional, and receptive to my pets’ individual needs be it my old guy not being able to keep up with his younger sisters or my youngest needing her scheduled eye drops during her visit. Absolutely stellar care giver for whatever your pet requires.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dorothy is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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 1,179 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dorothy. 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 Dorothy. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
