About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and truly love being around pets of every size and personality. I’m patient, gentle, and confident with all breeds from small dogs and seniors to high-energy pups and big lovable goofballs. I live with dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand how important routine, comfort, and trust are. I give every pet the same love, attention, and care I give my own. Caring for pets is naturally built into my day because I already have animals of my own. I plan my mornings, afternoons, and evenings around walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m very flexible, so I can adjust my schedule to match your pet’s routine and needs Safety and trust come first. In your home, I follow your routines exactly—feeding schedules, walk routes, crate rules, and any house preferences. I always keep doors locked, double-check leashes and harnesses, and never rush a pet. I give each animal a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and understood.

About: I love getting dogs out for fresh air and exercise while making sure they always feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower, more relaxed pace, I’m happy to match their routine and personality. My goal is to provide plenty of attention, activity, and companionship so your pup stays happy while you’re away. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I’m focusing on pattern testing. This gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets throughout the week. My neighborhood is a fenced-in dog park with plenty of lush grass, perfect for safe off-leash play and zoomies! We're also steps away from a private beach and surrounded by scenic trails, so your pup will get lots of exercise, fresh air, and sniffs. I always prioritize safety, positive interactions, and keeping your furry friend happy and comfortable. Water, rest breaks, and lots of love are always included!

Alexis took great care of our three dogs. She is attentive and noticed a wound that I forgot to tell her about on one of them and engaged with me about it. She stopped by as requested for multiple play times and to feed the dogs.

My husband works nights so he is home while I’m at work and we switch. I have a fenced yard, and lots of dog friendly walking areas. I have two friendly pets who do very well with other animals. I crate my dog when I leave home for safety & use cameras to check in on them.

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.

Amazing dog sitter!! Emilie kept us updated at every visit with our dogs. She really went above and beyond for our dogs and we can't thank her enough for all that she did while we were away. Also, the pictures were so great to receive. Thanks again for putting our worries at ease. Would definitely recommend her and rebook with her!

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.

Phenomenal! I am in a situation where I'm starting to give fluids to my cat at home. My cat is a Tortie, so she is sassy and fights back on the process of being stuck for fluids. I gave up and called the vet, they couldn't get me in for a few days due to the weekend, but my cat needed the fluids now. Christina was able to come the day after I contacted her to help me. She was great! Very kind, easy to get along with. I felt at ease with her and she was very knowledgeable due to her experience as a vet tech. We got the needle in my cat and she got her fluids, Christina was a lifesaver!

Claire is exceptional! She came to our home for drop in visits with our dog and cat. I cannot recommend her enough. When our dog was anxious from fireworks and thunderstorms, she spent extra time with her to make her feel comfortable. She also spent extra time when we lost power to make sure the house stayed cool. She took her for walks and fetch sessions and when she didnt want to go outside she played with her inside. We absolutely trust her with our pets and home and you should too.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Dowell on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 557 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.
