“Heather has been a godsend when it comes to taking care of my cat, Boo. He was a bit stressed when I was gone for a 9 day stretch and she was able to add on extra drop-ins because of that and I was so grateful. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Leigh was very attentive with Karen! She played with her, spent time with her, wrote thorough reports on their time together, and was overall very communicative. She even left Karen a toy (which she loves, thank you!!!) Leigh went above and beyond and I would absolutely book her again.”
“My cats love Courtney! Especially my super shy boy comes out of shell when he sees her. I’m super happy with her taking care of my two little ones, she spends quality time with them and doesn’t cut her visits short. I also really appreciate the detailed write up and the cute photos. Thank you, Courtney!”
“Beth had been wonderful! She sends lots of pictures and has taken great care of my two dogs over the past couple of months while we have been in and out of town. She is super responsive and very flexible. 100% would book again.”
About: Lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors. I grew up with two family dogs and now have a 6-year-old “super mutt” named Mija who completely runs the household (and honestly, I’m okay with that). I’m responsible, trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely happiest when I’m around animals. Whether your pet loves long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or just a calm comforting presence, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously — while still making sure your furry family member has a fun, loving experience. I currently work part time in e-commerce and my availability is very flexible. I’m working towards a real estate license and my long-term goal is to retire my mom! I have experience caring for and walking dogs of all breeds and sizes, including large breeds that require confidence, awareness, and strong handling skills. Safety is always my top priority, and I have exceptional risk assessment when it comes to walks, environments, and interactions with other animals. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions and routines. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how important structure, consistency, and enrichment are for pets. My own dog thrives on her daily routines and knows exactly when it’s time for walks, dinner, and her nightly “search and find” game. I genuinely love building trust with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away.
“Katie was a delight to work with. Very friendly and kind, a great communicator. Followed directions perfectly and went above and beyond by collecting our mail and taking out the trash. Would definitely recommend to others.”
“She is amazing and very attentive to your cats needs. I always worry about leaving my cat alone, but she helped ease my mind with great communication and photos! I would highly recommend her!”
“Andrew is always reliable and is punctual when needed. He has a passion for pets and pays attention to every detail related to the walk. I will continue to use Andrew in the future and I highly recommend him for all your pets needs.”
“Alexia is a Great Pet Sitter, she helped Rako out for 9 days, with our return He was Given Food and Water, and there was no mess. I love how she took care of his pads. Great Young Lady to hire.”
“It feels great knowing that Ava had my cats in excellent hands while I was away. She is very accommodating, caring, and knowledgeable. Would certainly seek her help again!”
“Thomas is great with our pups, and very reliable; even last minute! He’s pleasant, kind and responsible. I really enjoy seeing the Rover Cards with his notes, pictures and activities. We look forward to using him again!”
“Amy and her husband did a wonderful job watching our 2 pups while we were gone! I *really* appreciated the notes and photos after each visit. I know my pups appreciated the company and playtime. :)”
About: Hi! I’m Miranda, and I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for about five years. I have experience with pets of all ages—from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra care. I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed routines, and making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. I genuinely love animals, and my goal is to help pet parents feel completely confident that their furry family member is in great hands. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or calm companionship, I’m here to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I currently work part-time and only 12-20 hrs a week. This leaves me with so much time to look after the dogs. I am free every morning from 6-9:30 and in the evenings after 6:30. I am also flexible and can work with each dog owner to have their needs meet. I live in a very pet friendly neighborhood. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I will keep a very close eye on the dog. I do many walks and sometimes go on a daily run. So lots of walks is no problem for me. I can crate the dog too.
“Leticia did a great job taking care of my cat Madison. Madison is a loner and doesn't warm up to people but he trusted Leticia from the start. I loved the photos and videos that she forwarded to me. It gave me peace of mind to know that he was well cared for. I hope that Leticia will be available the next time I need to be away from home for an extended period of time.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Edgewater
Heather was so wonderful for my senior rescue Poppie, whom I’ve had just over two months. He loved her so much at our first meet and greet that I had to keep him from following her out of the house! She sent me thorough updates and photos during her check-ins, and he was so happy and well -fed when I got back from my work commitment. She really has a talent with rescue dogs!
Sarah was so sweet with our normally very shy cat who warmed up to her very quickly! A testament to how great she is with animals. Sarah was also very communicative and sent lots of pictures, which made me feel so much more at ease! Will definitely be requesting Sarah for any future needs.
Jacki did an amazing job checking in on my diabetic cat and making sure she was comfortable, well taken care of, and had her medication while I was away. She was very attentive and always left nice notes and pictures after each visit. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking next time I’m away!
Pam does such a great job in caring for our dog! She puts us at ease when we travel knowing he's being cared for so diligently. She goes above and beyond. Our dog can take a little while getting used to new people but really loves Pam. Will definitely call Pam again!
Stacie was great and I’d absolutely book with her again. She was flexible, communicative, and clearly took great care of my cats while I was away. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled, kept me updated, and gave me real peace of mind during my trip. It was obvious from the updates and from how my cats acted afterward that they were comfortable with her and well cared for. I really appreciated her attention to detail and the care she put into everything. Highly recommend.
Mara was amazing at caring for my very senior special needs dog and our other dog who doesn't warm up to people so well (but Mara's energy won her over). She provided great pictures to let us know they were doing well. Also, I appreciated how she accommodated our last minute booking when I was having trouble finding anything dog sitter. She's highly skilled and a literal dog whisperer. :-)
Caitlyn has been wonderful with our dog, Hobo. She was flexible and added in extra walks when we called from vacation and needed it. Her visits have always been lengthy with lots of exercise and playtime, and she was willing to come early mornings and late at night. She sent lots of pictures and it was clear that Hobo was having a great time with her. Caitlyn definitely went above and beyond and I would recommend her 100%.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Edgewater on Rover is $21.4 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 14,412 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Edgewater. 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 Edgewater 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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Edgewater. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
