“Elise did a great job taking care of our 2 labs. She visited as scheduled and sent lots of pics and regular updates. She is personable and trustworthy and we would recommend her for your pet care needs!”
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life and have extensive experience with cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I am comfortable providing attentive, loving care and understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I am experienced with administering medications and making sure pets receive the proper care and attention they need. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and keeping them active and happy. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I’m currently working full time Monday through Thursday. I am available Friday through Sunday and federal holidays all day. Weekdays I’m only available after 5pm. I’m happy to care for pets in my home and provide them with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while you’re away. I have one friendly dog of my own, so your pet will have the option of having a companion if they enjoy other dogs. My home has a fully fenced-in backyard where pets can safely play, relax, and get some fresh air, and I also live right near a walking trail for enjoyable walks and outdoor time. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they feel right at home throughout their stay.
“Attention to all military families!! If you need someone super trusting to come and watch/take care of your furry family, do not hesitate to book with Lindsey! She was phenomenal and truly treats your babies like her own! She was super attentive, gave great timely updates, went beyond expectations in her care. She booked us the week before my husbands and I’s trip, took on the added challenge of taking care of one of our sick babies last minute as well. Well 100% be booking with Lindsey in the future ❤️🤧”
About: Hi I’ve owned black labs and my senior German Shepard recently passed. There are no dogs in my house. If you let me watch your dog he/she would get a lot of play time, exercise and treats if allowed. I also take care of my son’s Irish wolfhound when he goes on vacation. I’m currently working part time. My 13 year old German Shepard recently passed so I thought I would be able to assist other dog owners. I have a nice, clean home for your pet along with fenced in yard. I would be available whenever needed. I am an attentive pet parents. I have a fenced yard, spare rooms if needed for quiet time. You would have no worries if i cared for your pet.
About: I have worked professionally in multiple pet daycares and as an apprentice dog trainer. I have experience with aggressive animals, giant breeds and am confident in my ability to keep all animals and humans safe at all times. I have experience administering medications, working with special needs animals, and providing mental enrichment as well as physical exercise. I currently own a Great Dane and terrier mix, and many other reptiles, and am very used to all the quirks that dogs and cats can have. I also have experience with some farm animals as well, and am pretty comfortable with all animals. I would love to be a stand in fur mama for your pets while you are away, and will send updates as desired so you can have peace of mind. I also am open to bathing dogs or cats for an additional rate. Would require your bathtub or a pre purchased self grooming station at a pet store or dog grooming facility. I can provide bathing supplies if needed. I currently work close to full time but am interested in decreasing my hours and doing more pet sitting if possible. I am currently available weekdays after 4pm, Tuesdays/Saturdays all day and Sunday after 4/5pm. I can offer care in your home and offer dog walking, play time, and mental enrichment such as lick mats, dog puzzles, etc (I can provide the enrichment while I am at your home) I treat every animal as if they are my own and am very vigilant to ensure the safety of all animals at all times. I always ask for temperament information for all animals so I do not cross any animals boundaries and know best how to interact with them.
About: Hello! I’m so glad you are here! My name is Sharee. I am 23 and I just moved here to the Watertown area from Sarasota, FL; which is where I’m from. I became a pet sitter because I adore dogs and cannot have one of my own right now-- so I'm here to give lots of love and attention to yours! I've always been an animal lover and dogs have always been apart of our family throughout my childhood. Giving them the care they need and deserve is my priority and I will treat your dog like my own. I will take them on long walks (when needed), occasional park trips (if comfortable with) and make sure they receive the food, exercise and all the love they need. I've had many experiences with animals, including: 2 Great Danes, a Bichon Poo, a British short haired' cat, and I have helped raise and train two well behaved pure bread German Shepherds. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy doing and I guarantee yours will obtain nothing but the absolute best. I just joined the military and definitely need a reason to get off base and also make new fury friends here! Rover is a way for me to make additional income while doing something that brings me joy. My schedule is Monday- Friday but I’m expecting to have a lot of 4-day weekends. Your pets are your family and I understand what it's like to be away from them, even if you're off doing something fun. My main goal is to build a relationship with you and your pet which will allow us all to feel secure and connected. I will do my best to be attentive and communicative through pictures, phone calls etc. I look forward to meeting/ caring for your pets and making this a memorable experience for all of us! (I am available for Dog Walking, Drop-In Visits and House Sitting only) I am currently working full time Monday- Friday but am available around lunch time every weekday, after work during the week, and my weekends are completely free. I am available to walk your dog every day in the early morning, lunch time, and after work around 5pm. Additionally, I can also accommodate high energy breeds that need more than a potty walk.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fort Drum is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $30 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 111 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fort Drum. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Drum. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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 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.
