“Jacqueline was prompt, communicative, and good with our pets with a variety of needs—not even to mention that she saved us from a last-minute cancellation. I wholeheartedly recommend her services and will contact her again if she’ll have us!”
About: I have learned everything there is to know about small animal care in school and in practice. I love my four babies and I have pet sat for years ! Lizzards, sugar gliders, kittens and great Danes lol!! I work at a vet hospital to further my leanring from graduateing with my associates in veterinary technology, i also study about animal on my free time! I have a two story house with self cleaning litter boxes and a fountain water bowl for my cats. They have bedding to lay on and plenty of windows to look out of.
About: I was raised right alongside the dogs and cats, and i hold experience with animals of all shapes and sizes! Dogs, cats, kittens, fish, gerbil, even horses! My mother is a retired dog trainer who’s taught me a great deal of tidbits in animal care, and she’s always here incase i need some extra advice on the job. I also have experience with dogs that have mild to moderate special needs. One of our current dogs, Rusty, is a picky eater in diapers. Unfortunately i don’t have a lot of experience with puppies, so i will not accept them at this time. I will only consider a dog under a year if they are very well mannered. I also have a lot of experience with cats. I have a knack for getting them to like me somehow! Heres what i WON’T do: -i won’t take any dog with a history of aggression and/or biting. -i cannot accommodate high energy dogs. -i won’t take large/giant dogs. May consider if they are extremely well mannered and leash trained. Im a small woman! -house trained pets only. -pets with extreme special needs. I am equipped to handle mild to moderate special needs. I will always request a detailed schedule/list as well as house dos and don’ts. I take my job seriously and want to do it right. Plus, you can relax a little more and i won’t bother you with too many little questions! Thanks for listening! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I am very flexible as i currently only have a part time job i work Friday mornings-early noon. On Fridays, the schedule may differ by a few hours but i’ll always make sure to get back to your friend ASAP! I’ll make sure to spend as much time with your friend as they need that i can give! Walks, treats, lovin, you ask and i’ll do mu best to provide!
About: I had a dog that had a liver shunt and I kept him going with medication and good loving care. He lived to be 10 years old which my vet normally they don’t live past 5 years old. I am a retired banker and it’s always been my dream to be a pet sitter. I have some back issues so I would only be able to take care of small pets up to 20 pounds. Also I would prefer that the owner of the animal have a fenced in yard as I am not able to walk long distances. I prefer to keep your pet in the owners home where the animal feels more secure and safe. I am free to stay with your pet as long as needed.
“Sara was fantastic! My pup was not excited to have a visitor without his normal people there. Sara was great though and communicated promptly about the situation. Really appreciated that. Thanks so much, Sara!”
“Shelby was so awesome with our cat Shiloh! She is a great communicator and easy to get a hold of when you need her. She was great at providing updates on how our kitty was doing while we were away!”

Looking to help you with your pet’s schedule and provide them with quality care in their weekly routine My kitty is extremely friendly and the neighbors are all familiar with.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a multi-pet household with both dogs and cats, including an energetic Bengal. I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, feeding routines, litter care, dog walking, picky eaters, and multi-pet homes. I’m patient with pets that need time to warm up and I pay close attention to each owner’s instructions and normal routine. What sets me apart is my communication, reliability, and the effort I put into making pets feel comfortable while keeping owners updated with photos and detailed check-ins. I’m currently between seasonal jobs, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for morning, daytime, evening, and weekend visits and am happy to work with each owner’s routine whenever possible. My availability may vary slightly over the next few months due to some planned travel, but I keep my calendar updated and communicate clearly about availability. When I accept a booking, I make it a priority to be dependable and follow the agreed-upon schedule. I currently provide care in my clients’ homes rather than boarding pets in my own home. I know how important it is to respect both your pet’s routine and your home while you’re away. I follow feeding, walking, medication, litter, crate, and other care instructions closely and pay attention to each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. Before a first booking, I like to learn about your pet’s normal routine, behavior, leash habits, escape tendencies, triggers, medical needs, and anything else that will help me care for them safely. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, crates, and home access, and I never force interaction with a pet that needs time to warm up. I’ll also provide photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pets and home are being well cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dunbar
Professional, reliable, and friendly from the start. Our cats warmed right up to Destiney and Ben who provided great care to them, including administering an oral medication to one and insulin to the other. They kept us updated as needed and always followed through. They make a great pet care duo, and we’ll look to them for future care needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dunbar is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $27 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 163 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dunbar. 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.

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.
