“Maureen recently cared for our cat while we were on vacation. He is older and requires medication, she was thorough and ensured he received the necessary meds each day. This included transdermal medication delivery, and Maureen was very flexible in his needs. She provided a great recap with pictures each day. I recommend Maureen and we will continue to have Maureen care for our cat!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. From playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and care, I treat every pet like family. As a future nursing student and lifelong animal lover, I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable handling feeding routines, medications, walks, playtimes, and lots of affection. I currently have a very flexible schedule for the summer and am available for drop ins and walks throughout the week. Once I begin school in the fall, my availability will become more limited, but I’ll continue to keep my calendar updated and communicate clearly about scheduling, and always happy to work with pet parents to find a time that works for both. I always try to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure before walks or potty breaks to ensure safety. I respect each client’s homes, and make sure pets have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, attention, and lots of affection. I also make sure to provide detailed updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.

“She did a great job with my dogs Sutton and Chaz for weekend drop-ins! I honestly don’t know how she managed to walk both of them together, because Sutton can be a terrible walker, but I came home to two very happy dogs. Everything was taken care of, and it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. I’d definitely recommend her!”

About: I love dogs! I enjoy walking dogs and meeting new dogs. They are such sweet animals and I love to be able to help them see and explore the world on walks. I take care of a 14 year old beagle and go on frequent walks with him. I can walk dogs during my lunch break on weekdays. I can also come in the late afternoon as well to walk your dog. Let me know what you need and I can help accommodate your schedule! I have a beagle that I adore and take him on 3 walks a day. I love walking dogs and meeting new dogs at the dog parks that I visit. I also love taking care of friends dogs and would love to take care of your dog as well!

About: Hi there! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and caring for animals is something that comes naturally to me. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who loves long walks or a shy kitty who just needs a little extra love, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours like they’re my own—with patience, affection, and attention to their unique needs. From playtime and cuddles to sticking to feeding routines and medications, you can count on me to keep things just right. Let me know how I can help—I’d love to meet your furry friend! Currently returning to school online, so this would be my primary focus during the day while families are away. I am available all day during the week. I care for pets in my clients home by always ensuring that safety is the number one priority. Making sure that leashes and collars are working properly before use, ensuring gates are closed and fenced in yards, and avoiding any unwanted events by following the owners instructions carefully.

“Levi did an incredible job with my 8 year old reserved Boxer, Roo. I contacted Levi within a few days of needing someone to help walk and feed her, and they quickly responded and eagerly accepted. My pup is on a special homemade diet for her kidney disease, and Levi followed all instructions and made sure Roo was taken care of. If you need a trusted person to look after your beloved pets, they are in safe hands with Levi! 100% recommend and I will for sure be booking with them again! :) Thanks again, Levi!”

About: Hi, I’m Leanna! I’m an experienced house and pet sitter and remote freelance professional, which makes me particularly well suited to overnight and multi-day sits. Because I work remotely, I’m often able to spend much of the day at home with the pets in my care while keeping their normal routines intact. I enjoy the quieter side of pet sitting: keeping animals company, feeding and caring for them according to their usual schedule, maintaining a calm home environment, and making sure owners can travel knowing both their pets and their home are being looked after thoughtfully. I’m comfortable following detailed household and pet-care instructions, providing regular updates, bringing in mail and packages, watering plants, keeping the home tidy, and noticing when something seems unusual. My best fits are longer house sits, cats and multi-cat households, lower-energy or older dogs, pets who appreciate having someone around during the day, and households looking for a dependable sitter rather than primarily a dog-walking service. I have previous house and pet-sitting experience and can provide references and testimonials. Generally manage breakfast and litter/potty needs first thing with my morning tea or coffee before starting work. Unless your pets have specific routines, I'll generally take breaks every few hours, plus meal breaks to do check ins, play time, snacks, and activity as needed. I'll make sure I have a thorough understanding of all systems, equipment, and routines you have at home and to respect how you prefer things done (e.g. Floor only, specific snacks, no human food, etc.)

About: I have always had animals and I have a genuine love for animals of all kinds. Spending time with pets doesn’t feel like a job to me — it’s something I truly enjoy. I’m naturally attentive, gentle, and patient, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pet very seriously. My job is flexible so I have the time and availability to assist with whatever your needs are. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needing a calm presence, I adapt to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m reliable, organized, and committed to following your instructions closely so your pet’s routine stays consistent while you’re away. You can count on me to provide regular updates and photos, so you always feel connected and reassured. My goal is simple: to treat your pet with the same kindness, attention, and respect that I would want for my own. I would love the opportunity to earn your trust and care for your furry family member. I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to devote to your babies! My schedule allows me to fully devote myself to whatever instructions you leave, even if it's time consuming. I will love and enjoy every minute of interacting with and loving on your pet(s). When caring for pets in your home, I am respectful, responsible, and detail-oriented. I follow your pet’s routine exactly as instructed to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure your home remains clean and secure, double-checking doors and gates each visit. I pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and well-being, and I communicate regularly with updates and photos so you always feel confident and informed. My goal is to provide safe, reliable care you can truly trust.

About: Hi! We’re excited to have your dog in our home! We’re a responsible and caring couple who love dogs and enjoy providing loving care. We have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes—from puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace, and from small breeds to large dogs.

We prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure your dog feels comfortable and at home while you’re away. We treat every dog like our own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is in great hands. We are always busy with our own two dogs and cat, and someone is always home for food and bathroom breaks. We love having dogs hangout with us or let them do their own thing. Our yard is now fully fenced too so we can spend as much or little time outside as they prefer We have two dogs of our own who love to enjoy the big yard and taking up space on the couch- your doggo will be welcome to do the same. Your dog will not be bored with us!

About: Hi! I’m Brianne, and I’m one of those people who gets genuinely excited every time I meet a new animal. 🐾 I love pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior snugglers and independent cats to the ones who insist on being your personal shadow. As a longtime pet owner myself, I know that every animal comes with their own personality, routine, and little quirks. My golden retriever, Walter, has given me plenty of experience with the adventures that come with dog ownership, and I also have a very needy cat who has made sure I’m equally well-trained in the feline department. 😂 I’m certified in Cat & Dog First Aid through the American Red Cross, so safety is always a priority. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, routines, medications and care instructions, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like I’d want someone to treat mine, with lots of patience, attention, affection, and probably way too many pictures. I can’t wait to meet your little (or not-so-little) cuties! 🐶🐱❤️ I currently work full-time from home (7a-4p), but I have flexibility for walks and visits throughout the day. I love to get outside whenever I can! I have a fenced in yard, where my puppy loves to run and play. My house is already puppy-proof, and ready for more fur friends!

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets of friends, neighbors, and family. Outside of just my own dogs, I love dogs of all ages, temperaments, and sizes. I’m comfortable with active walks, medication routines, and adapting to each pet’s unique personality and play-style. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or a total cuddle-bug, we will both enjoy our time together. I’m detail‑oriented, patient, and committed to making every pet feel safe and genuinely loved while you’re away. I'm currently searching for a career position, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pups! I’m home frequently and can provide consistent attention throughout the day. I care about your dogs' healthy routines, as I know they will help mine. I offer a flexible schedule, weekend availability, and reliable communication so you always know how your pet is doing. I hope you like update photos! In my home, each dog receives lots of attention. I treat every pet like they're my own, so your pet’s routine becomes my routine. I follow feeding schedules, walking habits, and comfort preferences exactly as you describe. I will send regular updates with photos and notes so you feel connected and reassured.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Geneva

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Geneva on Rover is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $32 per visit. 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 11,895 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Geneva. 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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Geneva choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Geneva with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Geneva. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.

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.
