âAbsolutely the best care for our cat that we have ever had! Complete peace of mind while we were on a long vacation. Daily check ins were so reassuring!! We will definitely use Lindy and Seth for our upcoming trips! Thank you again, so much!!â
About: I have had dogs around all my life. We have had the pets of many friends overnight over the course of the past 10 years. We love pets and will love your like our own while you are away. My wife and I work full time from home. We love to take walks during the day at all times of the year. We also have a 14 year old son and 10 year old daughter who will give lots of love. We have a large house with 2 active kids to keep your pets company. Our neighborhood has many friendly dogs and access to paths for walking.
âPaige did a great job with our two cats, stopped in daily at the same time and played with and fed them, cleaned the litter box and sent us daily updates and photos, and all went well! And the best thing was, unlike other times when we've been gone, the cats had no behavioral issues, didn't chew anything up or leave poop surprise anywhere to show their defiance-- everything was normal when we got home and they seem perfectly content :)â


âSarah helped us for a few weeks and she was extremely professional, on time, courteous and friendly. Our dog is old and didnât require playing (she wouldnât even if you tried) but Sarah was definitely willing. Iâd use her again without question.â
About: Experience raising a puppy. I cater to pups of all sizes and energy levels. My dog is not in a crate but we did crate train him I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to work from home most days. I anm available for potty breaks, walks, snuggles, or playing fetch. I have a large, unfenced yard but I do have a long lead we can use if necessary. I can use a crate if your dog is crate trained. Iâm familiar to and accommodating of specialty diets. Rico and I love walks and running at the dog park down the road!
About: I've grown up with both dogs and cats, so I've been around pets my entire life and have experience with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and behaviors. Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life, and I've learned how important patience, consistency, and attention are to keeping pets happy and comfortable. I've also pet sat for friends and family on multiple occasions, and they continue to rely on me to care for their pets when they're away. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also have a dog named Maylo, who has taught me even more about the responsibility and commitment that comes with being a pet owner. I understand how much pets mean to their families, and my goal is always to provide loving, dependable care so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule during some days! I do have work and classes during certain parts of the week, but outside of those scheduled commitments, Iâm generally available and happy to accommodate your petsâ routine as much as I can. Iâll always communicate my availability clearly beforehand and make sure your pups get plenty of attention, care, and companionship while youâre away! :) I do not offer my home as a stay because I currently have a dog, and he doesnât get along with other dogs but Iâm happy to stay at the owners home! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment I arrive to their house, I understand thatâs THEIR space and Iâm a guest. I take care of them just like I would like my little Maylo (my dog) to be taken care of. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions their owner provides. I know that every pet is different, so I take the time to understand their personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys being active or prefers to cuddle and relax, I'll make sure they receive the care and affection they deserve while you're away.
About: Working in the pet industry for almost 2 decades, you can trust itâs my passion to take care of your pet. Itâs my greatest joy to spend each day with animals. Iâm available between 1 and 2pm everyday, then again from 5pm- 8pm. Weekends Iâve dedicated entirely to for pet care. I love having a full schedule. I can use any type youâd like. Crates, kennels, leashes, harnesses, etc. At my own home, we use only a 6ft lead in the yard. No kennels.
âEmma took great care of my two cats while I was away! She was reliable and caring, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Iâd definitely have her watch them again đâ


âAutumn did a wonderful job taking care of my kitty Ross while I was away. She followed my instructions perfectly and sent me updates. I came home to a very happy kitty! I highly recommend Autumn to all pet owners who are looking for a fantastic and reliable sitter! Thank you Autumn!â

About: Iâve taken care of, and grew up with, many different kinds of pets. Before moving out, I spent 10 wonderful years playing with, and caring, my family dog and cat! If youâd like, Iâd love to meet, care for, and befriend your pets as well! Iâm currently working full time Monday-Friday, but I have flexibility regarding my schedule. On weekdays, Iâm more free in the afternoon but on weekends Iâm free most of the day. I have a park next to where I live where Iâd be able to take your pet out and play with him/her. My apartment is also pet friendly!
âNicole came to visit our home before moving forward with house sitting and caring for our Italian Greyhound rescue Betty. Nicole really seems to understand different dogâs needs and was more than happy to accommodate our unique and damaged dog. She was respectful, a clear communicator, and seemed trustworthy out of the gate and we donât have any reservations having her house sit and watch our pet!â

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Excelsior is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 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 petâs 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 5,690 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Excelsior. 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 petâs routine and the sitterâs 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 petâs 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 youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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 Excelsior. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
