“Second time using Terri and it feels like she has been watching our cats for years. Our older cat Cosmo is usually standoffish with strangers, and even people he has known his whole life. But when Terri comes in he instantly goes to the room with his toys for play time. Our very first meeting our younger cat Goose jumped up on her lap (she never does this with us!). Terri is a cat whisperer and we love her. I feel like they don’t even seem phased by us going on vacation anymore. They love her so much and she clearly goes above and beyond in making them feel taken care of. Thanks so much Terri!!”
“Absolutely stellar experience with Mary! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process and truly great with our dog, Honey Bear. From the moment they met, it was clear that Honey Bear felt comfortable and happy in her care. Mary was also very flexible and kind, especially when our plans unexpectedly changed — she handled everything with grace and understanding. It’s such a relief to know our pup was in such good hands. Would definitely recommend Mary to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Sarah is awesome! She took care of our cat Broadway and made sure he had everything he needed and felt loved while we were away! Would highly recommend for cats!!”
About: Rover requires my legal name to be displayed. I actually go by Chai. I had 2 of my own dogs in my 20s and a cat in my 30s. I was also a professional Rover sitter for 3 1/2 years before taking a break for a couple of years. Now I'm back and ready to share some love again. I currently do not have any pets of my own. I have a 10 year old son with me during school breaks, some weekends and summer break. Gardening is my main occupation. I sometime have projects that will max out at an 8 hour day. If your pet cannot go that long without a visit and I have enough notice, I can make sure to schedule those longer days before or after my scheduled sit with your pets. I have plenty of time in my schedule to care for doggos and kitty cats. I have house sat before in client's homes and very quick to learn house rules and ways of operation to adequately care for your pet(s) in the way they are accustomed to.
About: I decided long ago I'll never live without a dog in my life. I'll treat your dogs as my own while they are in my care. Sadly, my two big dogs passed away this past year and we miss them terribly. I take special care of senior dogs, giving them extra love. I've also been teaching those close to me how to train dogs. There's no reason to gate keep that knowledge. So not only can I train your dogs, but I can also teach you everything I know. We begin our day with cuddles and stretches. I work from home and enjoy a half acre, fenced in back yard in Lakewood. We walk the neighborhood, as well as Crown Hill and Sloans Lake. I have a small home with a huge yard. My little dog lost her two big brothers this past year and we're looking forward to hosting your dog/s to come play and cuddle. She's a typical little dog who barks at you ~~ then cuddles you.
“Brianna is great, she follows the instructions given and is dependable and responds promptly to any questions. She is very responsible and knowledgeable regarding pets needs”
“Kelly is awesome! She popped over before we were out of town to meet the girls and familiarize them. Really great communication and all around grateful to have had her help”
About: I’m a lifelong dog and cat lover with experience walking dogs, cleaning up after pets, and caring for their everyday needs. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to help with walking, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the same care and kindness I give my own! I have a flexible schedule for pet care! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, so I have extra flexibility those days. I’m available anytime after 4 PM Tuesday through Thursday, but my work schedule is flexible, so I can also work from home on those days if an emergency or extra need comes up. I’m usually in town and available on weekends, too! I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they need 🐾 I provide loving, attentive care while keeping pets comfortable and sticking to their usual routines. Starting November 1, my new condo will have walk-out access with a park right across the street, perfect for walks and outdoor time! In a client’s home, I’m happy to follow their pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping their space clean.
“Jacquie is literally the best Rover experience I have ever had. She is completely thorough and detailed oriented, which is absolutely crucial for caring our fur babies. She takes this job very seriously and I am really happy with her service. I wish she could stay longer so I can keep hiring her for my babies.”
About: I love to walk and run with dogs! I also like hosting or checking in on cats! I am great at connecting with animals and making sure that their needs are being met. I have spent most of my life around animals and recently lost my cat. I am hoping to share some love with your pet! I work full time and I am available on weekends to host dogs. Cats I can host any time and play after work! I'm free in the evenings for walks and check ins. I have an apartment that is clean and safe for pets. I do not have a yard, but my place is set up for cats with a scratching post and toys!
“Ruth took us on last minute and was so gracious. She was amazing to work with and took great care of our dog. We are so thankful for her and would love to have her come again.”
“Rachel did a great job caring for my cat, rabbit, and gecko! She sent updates and pictures every day, gave each pet lots of attention, and was able to wrangle my gecko back into his tank after an escape attempt. Would absolutely work with her again!”
“Cory did a great job watching our cat moon! She left us with great photos and you could tell that she paid great attention to all of our directions. We’d definitely use Cory in the future when we need a sitter.”
About: Hi all, I’m Maria (Alex), I’ve had dogs all my life and love them with all my heart. From schnauzers to Siberian huskies, I’ve experienced a wide range of dog personalities and needs. My senior husky, who has seizures and reactivity issues, has taught me patience and how to handle even the most challenging walks with care. Both my husband and I work remote, so we have the time and flexibility to treat your dog like our own. To us, dogs are family, and I’d love to help keep your pup happy while you are unavailable! For my house sitting clients, I will be with your dogs most of the day, but if we live in the same neighborhood I’d likely step out to sleep in my own home and will return first thing in the morning (puppies are an exception as I know they need more time) My husband and I will give your pet whatever it is he or she needs! Our neighborhood has two large dog parks, and we live close to walking trails to take them on walks as well. We take care of dogs depending on their specific needs. If the goal is to provide play, I will play fetch and give your pup loving while you are away. I make sure the dogs food and water needs are met and respect the space that I might be in.
“Oceana helped me last minute on a holiday weekend, was proactive, communicative, and her attention to detail is outstanding. I had forgotten to put my cats water bowl back out and she clocked it immediately and ensured my pet had everything she needed. I am so thankful to have found Oceana.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you truly trust with your pet. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s normal routine, whether that means long walks and lots of playtime or a slower pace and plenty of cuddles. I’m a lifelong animal lover and will treat your pet with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. As a teacher, I have a consistent schedule and typically work from 7 AM–3 PM. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine—I take my own dog for a walk before work and again when I get home, with plenty of playtime and attention in the evenings. I also have a backyard for extra outdoor time throughout the afternoon and evening. On weekends, my schedule is much more flexible, so there’s lots of time for walks, adventures, playtime, and cuddles! I want every pet to feel comfortable and cared for, so I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, pets will get regular walks, plenty of attention and playtime, and access to my fenced backyard for extra outdoor time. I also have a friendly dog of my own who loves having company! When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any other routines that help your pet feel happy and secure. I’ll also make sure to send plenty of updates and photos so you know how they’re doing!
“Jen helped us out in a pinch and did more than we asked- seeing what needed to be done and proactively taking care of it! I felt so good knowing she was here for our babies!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Edgewater
Darian is amazing! She looked after our two cats, fed and watered them. Our cats are usually shy around people but they both came out for Darian, it just shows she has a special way with animals. She went above and beyond and made an extra trip over to feed them when their auto feeder stopped working and was very communicative through the entire booking. We highly recommend her!
Miguel did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my cat, Anakin! I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was so great with Anakin, and when I got home, Anakin looked peaceful, relaxed, and happy, which gave me so much peace of mind. The house was also spotless and everything was just as I had left it. It was clear that Miguel took great care of both Anakin and our home. I’m so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and caring, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets. I would happily book him again!
Megan was excellent. You can tell she loves cats. I don’t like leaving my babies but when I met her I knew she was a cat lover. I have never had anyone that I didn’t know take care of them before. I truly felt comfortable and all was well when we got home. I would highly recommend Megan.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Where do I even begin! Crystal was absolutely phenomenal with our fur babies. From the moment we left, we never once felt worried or anxious about how they were doing. That kind of peace of mind is truly priceless when you are away from your pets. Crystal went above and beyond in every way. She took our dog on multiple long walks, keeping them active, happy and well exercised. It was so clear through her updates and interactions that she genuinely cared for our animals, not just as a job, but as if they were her own. We could not recommend Crystal more highly. If you are looking for someone who will treat your pets with love, dedication and exceptional care, look no further. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
Kim was amazing. Our fur baby mochi had a health complication and she did everything she could to take care of him and make him more comfortable including hunting through our house for his cone and making sure he couldn't lick at it. She gave them loves and was proactive with her care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Edgewater is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $36 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 13,656 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Edgewater. 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 Edgewater. 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 .
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.
