“I can not begin to describe how amazing it was to have Nichole watch my pup. She was friendly, reliable, punctual, and flexible. It was clear my girl was very well taken care of while I was gone. Nichole was able to accommodate for changes in my trip dates and was available very last minute. She maintained excellent communication and I could tell she really enjoyed spending time with my pup. I was nervous to leave my dog while on vacation and within a day I felt fully confident that my dog would be taken care of, as if I was home the whole time. I will absolutely be utilizing her setvices in the future and I can't thank her enough!”
“Alex and her daughter were wonderful caretakers for our shy kitty Mia and our aquarium fish. This was my second booking with Alex, and I will definitely book again.”
“Caroline did a great job taking care of my shy kitty! She was very accommodating and understanding. Her communication was great and she left detailed notes after each visit. I would definitely recommend her!”
“I couldn't have asked for a better person to make drop-in visits on my two cats twice a day for a week. Karla took great care of Brutus and Olive and did everything I asked and more. My cats had never met anyone besides me before, so they were in hiding for the first few days, but Karla persisted and by the end they were (almost) friends. I appreciated the punctual reports and her messages were detailed and reassuring. I highly recommend Karla.”
About: I’ve worked with dogs for the last 15 years, mainly in the animal rescue scene. I can administer medication, as well. No dog is too young, or too old! I am a fairly flexible person, who can fit any needed pet care relatively easily into my schedule. I love being able to incorporate animals into my day-to-day. I prefer to care for pets in the home they are used to, as it creates less stress. Staying within a routine they are used to, helps as well
“Valerie was fantastic taking care of my cat Riku! She was very communicative, sent lots of pics, and it felt easy to trust her. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“Once again, Rose has been the best imaginable pet sitter for our dog, giving her love, meeting her physical needs, and sending us professional quality photos and videos. When she's been here, we arrive home to a happy, contented dog.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life but only sitting for 4 years! I love animals and am always looking forward to learning more. I’m a Cornell student and only have classes for 4 hours M-Th. With this schedule it is easy to take pets on walks, drop by and check on them, and make sure they get all the care and attention they deserve! I always leave things the way I found them if not better! Including living spaces and animals. I always want to make sure I keep someone’s area clean and make sure I keep someone’s animal safe and happy while with me!
About: Hello, I am an active individual who likes being out in nature and exploring the local outdoor areas. I would enjoy the opportunity to help care for your pet and would enjoy the company as well. I am employed full time as a PhD student at Cornell and am seeking a side job that I could enjoy as much as my current job. I live by myself in a quiet, smoke-free home with no other animals or children. I am in a pedestrian-friendly area with excellent scenery for walking. Because much of my work schedule is flexible, I will have time throughout the day to take care and spend time with your pet. I also have more availability on weekends. As an animal lover, I like to interact with dogs through play (tossing a ball, playing tug-of-war with a toy, running around outside) and relaxing with them and giving them pets.
About: I've had years of experience caring animals as a pet sitter, veterinary technician,shelter volunteer as well as pet mom to many fuzzy, scaly, and feathered friends. I'm a mother of school aged children and I have a very flexible schedule including day,evening,and weekend hours. Short notice requests can usually be accomodated. I'm very comfortable reading animal body language. I have a very people/dog friendly dog who loves to join in on a walk if your dog would like the company.
About: With over 10 years of experience, I am comfortable with all kinds of animals and temperaments - big dogs, angry kitties, stubborn puppies, and anxious pets. I can also give meds if needed and make sure your pet stays safe, calm, and cared for like they’re my own. No matter their personality, I’ve got them covered 😊 I bartend part time and I am in my final semester of college (online classes) so I have very open availability! Send me a message and we can figure out a schedule that will work for you and your pet! I have 1 cat and 1 dog of my own at home who are the most spoiled babies ever! Most importantly, I am a firm believer in all things safety. I worked with horses for over 10 years so I know how important it is to follow the instructions I have been given. I may be small, but I am mighty! I can handle big dogs, mean cats, and fresh horses! I am more than happy to change any of my procedures to accommodate your fur baby, just ask!
About: I can't remember a moment in my life when I haven't been surrounded by animals, I grew up in a neighborhood full of dogs and my household was always full of cats. I wasn't a stranger to keeping the peace between the two. I now own both a dog and a cat, they definitely keep me busy! I am used to walking/ running with larger dogs so keeping up and gaining control of them will never be an issue, the pros of being a student athlete! My favorite part of day is coming home and seeing my pets! I'm more available in the early morning, evening or on weekend. I try my best to work with your schedule so this runs as smooth as possible without interference or interrupting your daily life and business! I try my best to spend time with my animals when I can, though my cat tends to ignore me, he still gets all the pets and cuddles he deserves!
“I have never used a pet sitter before, but thanks to Rachel, I will absolutely do it again. She came over to my house before we left so I could show her the routine. As soon as I met her, I was no longer nervous about leaving my cats. She did a great job, is super professional, and I hope to book her again in the future.”
“Lydia took excellent care of my 2 cats! I had never used Rover and was nervous about having someone in my home but she left my home tidy and my cats happy. I will utilize her services in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: I am loving, honest, and willing to go above and beyond for your animal. I can take care of medication needs, training, potty training, and more. I have CPR training and can provide comfort for the anxious friends too! I am disabled, but have 100% commitment and free time to help your fur baby out. My schedule is open and readily available. I can also provide last minute services. I treat every animal with respect and love, mine or not. They deserve the best care regardless of breed, size, or condition. Each animal gets the same one on one care.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. It started with my family dog, along with family members dogs. I would walk them and feed them. I then got my own dogs that I do all care for. I started fostering with a local rescue in 2022. I’ve cared for dogs with medical issues. Anywhere from Seizure disorders, parasites and other various medical issues. I treat every dog that I care for as if they’re my own. I currently work full time, M-F 730a-330p. I am able to check in, walk, feed, etc, dogs before work, during my lunch and after work. I have 2 dogs of my own. We live in a 3 bedroom house. Unfortunately, I don’t have a fenced in yard. I do take my dogs on multiple walks everyday along with utilizing a tie out (if they want to stay out longer), and would do the same with yours, so they get some outside time.
“Our dog is a big fan of Mariana! We really appreciated her getting to know him during a meet and greet, which also helped get us used to the Rover process. She is also VERY helpful for new timers to the service and app, and helped me through all my booking questions and mistakes! We definitely plan to use Mariana's services whenever possible while we're in this area, she's going to be our go-to choice for watching our husky. It's hard to find people that I'm confident in watching our boy, but she really makes our lives so much less stressful when we need to leave him for extended periods of time.”

Ariana has been a fantastic petsitter, a true companion to our cat during our long vacation. On our return, we found that our cat looks healthy, energetic and in a good mood, which tells me she received very good care, quality interactions and play time. The litter box was clean, and even the floor around the box had no sand. Ariana was consistent in her visits. I highly recommend her to any cat owner.
Ariana was fantastic! She was extremely communicative and gave very detailed updates. My cat is very shy around new people and she was very accommodating of this. She made sure to ask me lots of questions so that she could make my cat as comfortable as possible, which I greatly appreciated. I would definitely book with Ariana again.
Caterina was an absolute lifesaver! She was able to accommodate a last-minute drop-in visit for my puppy, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her quick response and willingness to travel outside her normal radius to care for him. It meant so much to me to know he was in such good hands. I’m incredibly thankful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate care. ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dryden is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $22 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 October 2026, there are 405 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dryden. 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 .
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 , 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 Dryden. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
