“Lauren is so accommodating! My dog is always so happy to see her and loves all of the attention that she gets. Plus, it is such a peace of mind to have someone to help out with my fur baby!”
“Tori was absolutely amazing with our pup, Rory. Every day Tori sent us the best, most playful pictures of our girl, and we knew she was having the best time. Tori was incredibly punctual, strove for perfection, and her care was spot on. We highly recommend Tori to anyone looking for a Rover sitter.”
“Yuki had a wonderful time at her very first visit with Katie! From the moment we arrived, Katie’s warm, friendly, and caring personality made both Yuki and me feel comfortable, safe, and welcomed. It’s such a great feeling to meet someone who makes you feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands. Katie is truly a natural with dogs, and I really appreciate the care and kindness she showed Yuki. We are so happy to have found Katie and will definitely be back for more playdates. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using rover.com or any pet sitter, and it was a great experience. Katrina is wonderful! She came out twice prior to us leaving on our trip to meet and spend time with our 2 dogs and bad cat, and familiarize herself with our pet care instructions, etc., and our bebbies were very comfortable with her. She’s an excellent pet sitter - arriving as scheduled and sending updates and lots of photos at every visit, so we were able to go out of town without worrying about the fuzzlebutts. We highly recommend Katrina!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and currently care for my own large-breed dog, so I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I can handle feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, basic routines, medications if instructions are provided, and giving your pet attention while you’re away. I’m especially comfortable with larger breeds and understand the importance of patience, structure, and respecting each dog’s individual personality. My goal is to make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re gone. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable drop-in care throughout the week. I’m available for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, check-ins, and making sure pets have fresh water and are comfortable while their owners are away. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and respect every pet’s normal routine. During drop-ins, I make sure doors and gates are secure, food and water are handled properly, and pets get the attention and care they need. I’m comfortable with both small and large dogs and will always prioritize safety.
About: Dog sitting is a hobby of mine, I have done this for roughly 8 years for friends & family, excited to extent my services to new clients. Pet care is a regular part of my routine, even with my full-time job from 7 to 4. In the mornings before work, I make sure to feed my pet, refresh their water, and take them out for a walk or bathroom break. After work, I spend quality time with them—whether it’s a longer walk, playtime, or just relaxing together. I’ve built pet care into my daily habits so their needs are always met reliably. In my home, I maintain a safe, pet-friendly environment. I have a fully fenced yard and a medium-sized dog door that allows pets to go outside for bathroom breaks or fresh air as needed, which helps them stay comfortable and active throughout the day. I follow a consistent routine that includes feeding, exercise, playtime, and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routine and instructions closely. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get enough exercise, and feel safe in their environment. I pay attention to details like cleaning up after them, refreshing water, and keeping their living space tidy and secure.

About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized, reliable care I give to every pet. I focus on keeping your cat or dog comfortable in their own home, which reduces stress and keeps their routine consistent. As a full-time student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to offer frequent check-ins, great communication, and real-time updates so you always know how your fur baby is doing. I’m experienced with both cats and dogs, including pets who are shy, anxious, or need a little extra patience. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies who need structure and consistency, as well as senior pets who may require a gentler pace, medication reminders, and closer attention. Your pet’s safety is my priority, and I always treat your home with respect and care. Pet care fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routine because I balance school and work with a schedule that’s still very flexible. I’m able to plan my work shifts and classes around the visits I book, which lets me give each pet focused, unrushed attention. I keep my calendar organized so I never overbook myself, and I make sure I have plenty of availability for morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins. Even with a busy schedule, I prioritize communication, consistency, and reliability so your pets get the best care while you’re away. I focus on making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and completely cared for in their own familiar environment. When I’m in your home, I follow your pet’s routine exactly, and feeding schedules, litter box care, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I always take time to bond with your pet at their pace, whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a little extra patience. I refresh water, deep-clean litter boxes when needed, tidy up any messes, and make sure your home is left just as you expect. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or mood and will update you regularly with pictures and notes so you always know how your furry friend is doing. My goal is to give your pet comfort and consistency while giving you peace of mind.
About: Hey there! My name is Bailee and I have 5 fur babies of my own. My daughter and my pets make my whole world go around. I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, cows, reptiles, and so many more animals! Growing up I would always pet sit for family and friends. Now that I have gotten a little older, I even train dogs on the side. I also rescue and re-home animals that need me.

I am currently working part time and will have plenty of time to care for all of your babies whenever you need me. My schedule will eventually change and more days will be added! I have a fenced in yard and have fur babies of my own to accompany yours. I also have crates in my home and could easily crate your babies if need be. For your home, I am open to whatever your normal routine is for your babies.

Today was our first time using Jessica as our petsitter, and we couldn’t be happier! She walked Oreo twice and also stopped by for an additional drop-in visit. She was so sweet and caring with Oreo, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure Oreo was happy and well taken care of. We really appreciated her detailed updates about potty breaks, food and water intake, and playtime. She also sent us lots of photos, which gave us peace of mind and let us see how Oreo was doing throughout the day. Thank you, Jessica, for taking such great care of our little Oreo! We’re so happy to have found you and look forward to booking you again! 🐾❤️
Yuki had a wonderful time with our pet sitter! She had so much fun playing with their pets and came home happy and well cared for. They were incredibly kind, friendly, and made us feel comfortable from the start. Communication was excellent throughout the stay, with prompt responses and updates that gave us peace of mind. Their home is also very convenient to ours, which made drop-off and pick-up easy. We couldn't be happier with the experience and will definitely be booking with them again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter!
We used this pet sitter for 4 days, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. They took excellent care of our dogs, provided regular updates and photos, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Our dog looked happy, healthy, and well cared for when we returned. We truly appreciate their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail. We would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dosterville is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 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 184 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dosterville. 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 Dosterville. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
