About: I have always been around all different animals all growing up, and understand it comes with patience, and love most of all . I have always believed animals have feelings just like we do as humans ! I’m currently working park time and am available any time of the day/night except Tuesdays & Thursdays. I can come in and play , go on a walk , feed, and sit and show love . I can come into clients home, and focus entirely on the animals giving them the care they need while understanding it is not my home .

Elizabeth is always consistent, responsible, and kind. I appreciate that she visited my fur baby despite the snow. She’s my go-to cat sitter!

About: I’m already someone who loves being home, going on peaceful walks, and keeping things cozy, so adding a furry friend to the mix just makes everything better. I treat pets like little VIP guests and I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and a routine that feels calm and predictable for them. I always try to match whatever your pet is used to so they feel safe and comfortable. If I’m watching your pet in your home, I keep their routine exactly how you have it. They will have their meals on time, daily walks, play breaks, and plenty of cuddles. I’m very detail-oriented, so I pay attention to the small things like their favorite toy, how they like to be greeted, or where they prefer to nap. If I’m caring for them in my home, they get a clean, cozy environment, lots of love, and a peaceful space to relax. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I adjust to what makes them feel happiest. I genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own and give them spoiled-in-a-good-way kind of love. I’m patient, observant, and good with pets who may be a little shy or anxious. I have a patient personality and animals tend to trust me quickly. I’m also extremely reliable and communicative, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I’ve cared for a variety of pets from rambunctious puppies to senior dogs. I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs.

About: I recently got to experience what being a fur parent is all about! I never understood what the bond really meant until I had to say goodbye to her. Her name was Bee, short for Beatrice and she was my roommates dog at the time and the more I got to know my roommate the more Bee became my bestfriend. I was fortunate enough to love her, she was the sweetest dog I have ever met and I hope one day to have a bond like theirs when I get my first fur baby!❤️ What sets me apart is that I'll always treat your pets like family, because in the end that's what they become:) I am currently working 5 days out of the week from 2pm to 6pm every week on base!:) I'm off every weekend! So please don't hesitate to reach out if pet care is needed!:) I currently take care of 2 dogs, Bear and Minnie:) I make sure they are fed and given plenty of water always, I take them on walks to use the potty or just to get outdoors, Bear is 4 now so he has a bunch of energy:) They also get spoiled with endless toys lol but I try not to spoil them too much with treats lol. I also used to watch and look after my old roommates dog, his name is Umai:) he's a Shiba. He was the cutest wittle boy ever! Lol

I can’t recommend this app enough. We have had so many great experiences with Laura in particular! Our pup just loves her to pieces! I don’t know how we could do this without her. She is always punctual and accommodating to whatever we might need.

About: I've had and taken care of dogs and cats as long as I can remember. My current dog, Bruce, is an 11 year old Australian Shepherd. We also have Daisy, a 1 year old calico cat. I love walking dogs and playing with both dogs and cats, as long as they want to play! I'm retired now and have time to share with your fur-babies. I'm active and love to walk with my dog all around our neighborhood and am looking forward to meeting your dog and discovering new walks. I am responsible and will be respectful of your property when I come for drop-in visits and to take your dog for a walk. If you are out of town and you need me to bring in mail or pick up news papers or move the trash cans back from the curb, just let me know, I'll be happy to do that too.

About: I have always been in love with dogs. When I was little I would go to the library and read the dog encyclopedias and then go home and watch animal planet breeds. I currently have a Great Pyrenees named Maui Jim and I’m literally obsessed. I am currently a stay at home dog mom. I love going to the gym, trail running, and grabbing a coffee. I have the free time to care for your pooch! I understand how to properly care for dogs as I have one myself. I have experience working with all types of dogs from my time at the DogSpot Hotel. I am willing to crate dogs if needed, and I am a very fast learner if your home has any security measures in place for me to use.

We absolutely loved Stephanie K's care of our boys for the week. She came many times, played with Beau and Gideon, and said they were perfect gentlemen. Beau is an 85 lb golden and Gideon is our old man boxer mix. I did not feel so guilty leaving them home while we went to the beach with Stephanie K taking such good care of them. She sent us updates and pictures every day also. I would highly recommend her for taking care of your precious pups.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I treat each one like family and tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. I’m patient with puppies, helping reinforce routines like potty breaks and basic training, while also providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, or extra comfort. I prioritize safety, reliability, and communication, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits into my routine very easily because I plan my day around being consistent and responsible. I’m able to schedule visits in the morning, afternoon, and evening depending on what each pet needs. I make time daily for feeding, walks, playtime, and litter box cleaning, and I stay flexible for any special routines or medication schedules. Weekly, I organize my availability so I can give each pet enough attention without rushing, making sure they feel cared for and not alone for long periods of time I care for pets by keeping their environment clean, safe, and familiar. I follow routines closely, provide food, water, walks, playtime, and give consistent attention and comfort.

Mary Rose took great care of my kitties. They were not intimidated by her presence and allowed her to take pictures and get petted. She is very professional, calm and compassionate. I will contact her if I need her another time.

About: I am a responsible and dependable college student who genuinely enjoys caring for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I am attentive to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions provided by owners. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated with regular messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while their pets are in my care. In my own personal experience I have worked with pets ever since I was 13 and have loved animals my whole life. I have watched multiple animals at one time, administered medication, provided walks, provided cuddles/play times, and provided over night stays for the past few years. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having a calm companion around, I will provide patient and loving care tailored to their needs. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and ensure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I am currently working a part-time internship related to my major for school. This internship only takes up 15 hours of my time during the week. I am available to play and care for your pets any time during the weekend and when I am not working. As I do not have my schedule yet, I estimate most of my time will be spent with your pets in the evening during the week and whenever we can make work! I am very flexible. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any household rules. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and companionship while their owners are away. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their familiar surroundings, so I work to maintain their normal routine and minimize stress. I also pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health and will communicate promptly with owners if I have any concerns. I treat every home and pet with respect, keeping living areas clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring pets remain safe at all times. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

Gemma was AMAZING with our 2 cats for 3 days! She was attentive, on-time for every feeding, provided status updates for every drop-in, and took photos. We have one cat who is afraid of new people and he warmed up to her after 1 feeding which impressed us! I highly recommend her if you're looking a great sitter!

Zenie is such a sweet and kind soul! She was really great about sending updates with photos of our pups. Zenie also did a great job at cleaning up muddy prints from the floor since it was a little rainy while we were away. 😊 She even left a such a thoughtful note and "ducked" me since she is a fellow Jeeper. We look forward to booking with her again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Dowell on Rover is $21.09 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 567 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Dowell. 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 Dowell 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 Dowell 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 Dowell 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 Dowell. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
