“Esme was willing to watch our cat, Eevee, last-minute during a holiday weekend, and she did a great job! Eevee got lots of pets and playtime in, and we enjoyed looking at the pictures Esme took. We were camping pretty far out in the mountains with spotty signal, so it was comforting to know Eevee was in good hands and having fun. Thank you!!”

About: I’ve pet sit and cared for small and large breed dogs while assisting a dog groomer, I own the two most pampered cats in the world, and I’ve loved every second! I look forward to caring for your furry families! I’m currently transitioning into a less hectic work routine and love walking! This is something I love to do so it makes perfect sense, and I would love to meet as many animals as possible in my life. I administer an inhaler treatment to my cat daily, provide wet food, play, clean environments and litter boxes, and occasionally cook food to order for them. I have experience administering care (bandages, medication) to both cats and dogs.

About: I’ve been a lifelong pet owner and have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve also fostered animals and regularly cared for pets for friends and family. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter care, medications, and pets who may need a little extra patience or attention. As a registered nurse, I’m very comfortable following detailed care instructions and medication schedules, and I’m attentive to changes in behavior or routine. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure you get plenty of photos and updates while you’re away! I work three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility on my days off for drop-in visits and pet care. On workdays, I can often accommodate visits before or after my shift as well. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and will always communicate clearly about my availability. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home. I’m respectful of your space and will carefully follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding instructions, medications, and any special care needs. I’m very comfortable following detailed instructions and noticing changes in behavior or routine. I’ll also send photos and updates during every visit so you know your pet is happy and cared for.

About: Hello! Ever since I was born, I was always surrounded by dogs and cats simultaneously in my home. It was a natural part of my life, and showed me not only how much love they deserve, but how much they have to give us! I enjoy spending time with them on long walks, giving endless cuddles, playtime, and giving them a few treats here and there! My husband and I just welcomed two cats into our home, and we are over the moon! However, we would still love to welcome furry dog friends into our home and give them the care they need when you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat yours as if they were my own—with lots of love, patience, and personalized attention. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing on the couch with me, I’m happy to match their routine and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I work a full-time job with a hybrid schedule - 3 days in office, 2 remote. However, my company is very gracious with their flexibility and easily allow us to head home when needed (for doctors, kids, pets, etc.). With that, my routine can be whatever fits your pet’s needs! I am primarily available to board on weekends, and can help with any other pet service during the week after 5pm! Feel free to ping me and we can also work something out!! I have a fenced yard with plenty of grass to play catch or hang out in the sun! We also have two cats - I’m unsure how they interact with dogs yet, but they are very bubbly and outgoing! I am happy to keep our cats separate depending on your dogs needs in order to make them the most comfortable while they are here, or slowly introduce them! Whatever you feel is best!!

“Heather was an awesome sitter for our two cats while we were out of town for a week. Took good pictures, even of our shy boy who can be pretty elusive. She was a pro at managing the Litter Robot. Heather also did some “extras” for us like collecting our mail and bringing in the bin on trash day, which was much appreciated. We were happy to know our cats were in good hands all week!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs off all breeds since I was young. I have a love for all animals which shows in the care I give them. Friends and family have relied on me to watch their pets while they’re away, give their pets baths, and even give medication. I currently work overnight starting at 10pm. I can do sittings on Mondays and Tuesdays. Otherwise my schedule leaves me fairly open to take care of your fur babies! I will follow any care instructions provided by pet parents. I will check in on pet/s every 2-4 hours at least if not more often. If needed I can stay will pet for a specified amount of time determined by pet parent.

About: I have loved caring for dogs my whole life! From my own family dogs to neighbors and friends' dogs, I have pet-sat, walked, fed, and bathed dogs of all breeds and sizes. I make sure the dogs I care for have a balanced and enriched environment that meets their needs. I work in the school system and have summers off, so I am interested in walking or sitting for pets any day of the week! I can be available at whatever time is needed. During the school year, I am available for walks or drop-ins anytime after 4pm. I live in a condo with a private garage. My neighborhood has great walking paths as well as a fantastic park right across the street. My 4 year old pup (Sammy) and my 1 year old pup (Ginny) can keep your fur baby company in a friendly and fun environment!

I even realized as our flight was taking off that I forgot to book the first day (totally my mistake) and he responded right away and was able to take care of our dog without any issue. He also brought in packages for us which we appreciated. We always feel completely comfortable leaving our animals in his care. He’s reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares about our pets. Highly recommend!”

“Stephany is what dog-walker dreams are made of. ✨ She is friendly, kind, responsible, and highly communicative. She always provides a detailed update about her visit and includes lots of photos of her time with my dog. My remote work schedule changed, so this was my first time using Rover and I was feeling stressed about having to figure out a new routine. From her first interaction with me and my dog, to leaving this review, Stephany has put my mind and my heart at ease. My dog is happy, loved, and well taken care of…it’s all I could ask for. ♥️”

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and for the past 15 years I've been lucky enough to turn that love into caring for dogs and cats. Along the way, I've had the joy of getting to know more than 20 clients' pets, and I've built a special bond with every one of them. Nothing makes me happier than a wagging tail at the door or a cat who decides I'm worth curling up next to. My experience shows in the details. I've learned to read each animal's personality, adapt to their needs, and help them feel safe and at ease while you're away. I follow each pet's routine carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs. I'll send you regular updates and photos, and if anything comes up, I'll handle it calmly and let you know right away. When you book with me, you're getting a sitter with a proven track record and a genuine love for animals. Your pet will be treated with the same care and affection I'd give my own. I'd love to meet you both, so please reach out with any questions or to set up a meet and greet! Currently I’m accepting new clients and will work to support their needs as much as possible. Please give 24 hour notice all scheduling request. Thank you. Your pet's safety is always my first priority. Before every stay, I go over your pet's routine, health needs, and any medications, and I make sure I have your vet's contact information and the nearest emergency clinic on hand. During walks, dogs stay securely leashed, and I'm always mindful of other animals, traffic, and the weather. At home, I double-check doors, gates, and windows, and I keep food, medications, and anything harmful safely out of reach. I watch closely for any change in appetite, energy, or behavior, since those small signs can matter. If anything ever seems off, I'll contact you right away and won't hesitate to get your pet to a vet if needed. After 15 years of caring for dogs and cats, I know how to stay calm and act quickly so your pet is always in safe hands.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs and my understanding of the patience and attention they need at every stage of life. I grew up with two Border Collies who both lived to be 13 years old, so I’m very comfortable with energetic dogs as well as the needs that come with caring for a senior dog. One of my dogs developed arthritis as he got older, so I understand the importance of being patient with dogs experiencing pain or mobility issues and paying close attention to changes in their behavior and comfort. I’ve also cared for dogs belonging to friends and family, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and needs. I’ll treat your dog like family, follow their routine closely, and make sure they receive plenty of patience, attention, exercise, and affection while they’re in my care. I have a flexible schedule because I work as a freelance gardener, which allows me to plan my day around pet care. I’m able to dedicate time to visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship rather than having to fit pet care into a rigid schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and can be flexible with visit times and routines. I’ll make sure each pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need while their family is away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow their usual feeding, walking, playtime, and medication schedule, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection while their family is away. I understand that being in their own home can help pets feel more comfortable, so I’ll give them the care and companionship they need while respecting their space and routines. I’ll also keep the home clean and tidy, provide regular updates and photos, and be attentive to any changes in their behavior, appetite, or overall well-being.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Dove Valley

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dove Valley is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 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 12,195 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dove Valley. 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 Dove Valley. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
