About: Working from home has been bittersweet this past year. But if you get caught up with work, whether at the office or at home, or if you get stir crazy and decide to take a little vacation, I can help take care of your furry family so you can be at ease. About this sitter: My name is Shayna and I am a 29 years old. I worked in an animal hospital for roughly 3 years, hands on in the kennel, bathing and even with the technicians. I took classes to study vet assistant but had life changes that out that on pause. I have been a dog lover since I was born, growing up with dogs my whole life. When it comes to a favorite breed I do adore pitbulls just like my own, but every type of dog has a special place in my heart. *** PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER: I am currently 5 months pregnant but still mobile, active and able to walk and check on smaller/medium dogs at this time! I have no medical restraints at this time. Once it gets closer to my due date and/or I’m unable to move as much, my calendar will be closed.** Why I love dog sitting I've been around dogs my entire life. Since I was a young girl, there has always been a dog in my home. My first dog was an independent energetic Australian shepard named Missy. After her, for majority of my life my family had a half Irish Setter half Labrador named Rebel. I've also taken in my roommates 12 year old Yorkshire terrier Harvey. Although I don’t currently have a dog, dog walking gives a chance for both myself and the pet to get some fresh air, exercise and explore. About my yard My backyard is small fenced in with a porch and lawn. We also have an open area outside of the fence and plenty of places to take walks. My experience administering medication Yes, I am comfortable with the proper information given. I am currently working from home, so before work, lunch and after work are easily doable to care for pet needs. Lunch time is flexible and can adjust when needed. I am currently not accepting any pets in my home, only as it is not an ideal space at this time. However, there are plenty of areas to walk safely nearby. In your home, I’ll make sure to let the animals feel comfortable as I’m in their space, and we’ll find designated and safe areas to let them use and explore.
“Alyssa is great and handles our Samson really well! She is on time and walks our dog for most of the drop in, letting out energy while our family is out of the house. Samson comes back happy and content.”

Companions, service dogs, working dogs, strays who wandered up and never left, I’ve taken care of almost every shape and size of dog! Starting with the chocolate lab I saved up for from my local rescue at 8 years old, to my most recent geriatric chihuahua, I love them all!

About: I’m a certified veterinary assistant that’s been working with pets medically/professionally for over 7 years. I live in Modesto, CA but work at a vet clinic in Stockton Thursday night - Monday morning. If I have work I will be taking your pet back and forth with me. I am more than willing to allow you in my house to take a look around as well as sharing temporary locations via Apple or life 360. Feel free to call or text for updates. I work from 9am-6pm (and sometimes over-time) about 5 days a week. Please contact me directly to see if our schedules are a potential match. No exceptions, your pet MUST be okay with dogs and cats. It’s highly recommended that they be on flea/tick/heartworm preventatives but it’s a definite no if fleas or ticks are spotted on your pet. I cannot accept any big dogs at this time due to my apartment regulations. Big breaded puppies are okay but I would not be able to be a long-time pet sitter for your big baby. My pets are very friendly with others so I usually have your pet out and about with mine, under supervision. When it comes time for me to go to work, I usually take my boarder with me so they aren’t alone and unsupervised. It’s also highly recommended that your pet be kennel trained because I usually do try to kennel them over night for the safety of themselves, my pets, and my property. Some pets are okay overnight and a kennel is not needed but it really depends on the pet and how they do 😊
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, and other animals from childhood. I’m experienced with puppies and senior dogs, as well as those with reactivity issues. I am willing to walk your pet as much as needed, and happy to accommodate any training or scheduling requests! I work full time but can do any morning walks- starting as early as 5AM. I can usually accommodate drop ins before noon. On my days off I am willing to do walks any time of day, as long as your pet needs. I know the local area well and can provide a safe, low-risk walk for your pet. I’m also experienced with head leads, muzzles, and specialty harnesses.
“We left Aaron with our precious Lucy for 4 nights and we loved the way he knew how to gain Lucy's trust! We may have come by and take Lucy for a walk just so she remembers him. We felt confident with Aaron's dog whisperer skills. We will use him again. Thank you Aaron!”
“Brittany took care of Patches as if she were her own fur baby! Brittany went above and beyond when Patches was struggling due to my extended trip. When I returned home, Patches was very calm and content as a direct result of Brittany's care!”
About: I love caring and working with animals. Dogs, cats, birds I will love and take care of them all! I will love your pet as if it was my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages. I have a senior dog and two young and full of energy dogs. I can administer medications and can walk multiple dogs at once. I can work with dogs of all sizes. If desired I can also take dogs to the dog park. During the summer my availability is wide open anytime you need I can be there. during the fall I have school three days a week and can easily provide the care to your pet. There is a wonderful dog park near where I live with a huge place for dogs to run and plenty of shade. All the dogs I have met there are friendly I work part time and go to school full time. I care for pets during my breaks between class and work. If your pet needs constant supervision I unfortunately cannot care for them. I make sure everything is cleared and clean that way your pet doesn't get into anything they shouldn't. While on walks I always check for vehicles and make sure their leash and harness are securely fashioned.
About: I've always had dogs and crate trained my dogs. I know how to train basic commands but nothing really beyond that. I do love playing with dogs and also relaxing with them as well. I do work full time but I do work from home most of the week. So my schedule is pretty flexible for the most part. I have a fenced yard, and 4 friendly dogs. We do have 2 cats but they stay outside as they don't like our dogs. I make sure the the pet I babysit is comfortable and listen to instructions on the owners requests.

Leslie is truly phenomenal. She goes far beyond basic house sitting, and the cats absolutely adore her. She keeps me updated on everything happening at the house, from dealing with ants to bringing in the garbage cans. The best part is her daily updates with commentary and photos, which I genuinely look forward to every morning.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Empire is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $35 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 November 2026, there are 581 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Empire. 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 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.

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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
