“Meghan has been an excellent care giver for our older cat, and it was a comfort knowing that she was experienced with giving medications since our sweet kitty needs a daily asthma pill. Thank you so much, Meghan!”
“Katherine was great with my dogs and cats while I was out of town. She was very attentive to their individual needs and kept me updated with daily photos. I will definitely use her again!”
“This is our second time using Cynthia! She was amazing yet again and we can tell by how happy our pup is! She was great also with a last minute visit. We appreciate her so much and are grateful she took care of our fur baby so well!”
“Leslie did a wonderful job yet again! She always goes above and beyond. We are so glad to have found an awesome sitter in the area, I very strongly recommend Leslie’s pet sitting service!”
“Heather went above and beyond caring for our three dogs during their very first experience with a dog sitter, and we truly could not have asked for a better person to trust with them. Leaving our dogs for the first time was understandably anxiety-provoking, but Heather immediately put us at ease with her kindness, patience, communication, and obvious love for animals. She took exceptional care of all three dogs, paying attention to their individual needs and making sure they felt comfortable and cared for. Heather kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was clear our dogs were happy and well-loved while we were away. We are incredibly grateful for the care and attention she provided and would absolutely recommend Heather to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable dog sitter. She truly exceeded our expectations, and we would happily book with her again!”
“As a first time rover user I was terrified BUT Lauren is incredible!!!! I had a last minute need for drop in visits and she not only accommodated me but went above and beyond. She was so incredibly kind about my chaos and my house being very much a dog house. She cleaned up pots that my dogs broke which was so exceptionally kind! She took great pictures of them and they were clearly happy and she checked in with me consistently. 10/10 recommend and would love to hire her again!!”
“Brittany always goes above and beyond to make our dogs happy while we're away, and to make sure we are comfortable being away from them. Her communication and reliability are both EXCELLENT. Thank you, Brittany & fam!!!”
About: I’m a certified dog trainer through Animal Behavior College with hands-on training at Head of the Class Dog Training. I’ve trained shelter dogs and been involved in cat rescue and foster care, so I’m used to everything from nervous side-eyes to full chaos energy. I’m patient, understanding, and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality so they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m home Friday through Monday, which makes those days perfect for boarding with lots of attention and consistency. Tuesday–Thursday I work in Winchester until 4:30 PM, but I’m available in the evenings for walks. In my home, I offer a structured routine with exercise, enrichment, and a secure 6-foot privacy fence for safe outdoor time. In your home, I follow your pet’s normal routine to keep things consistent and stress-free.
“Demi did absolutely amazing with my foster cat Benito! This was my first Rover experience, and I had full peace of mind while I was away because of Demi’s promptness, communication, and enthusiasm. She sent detailed updates and so many photos for each drop-in and even left a printed collage of some of the pictures she took of Benny 🥲 Would not hesitate to recommend Demi for loving pet care and will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

“What a pleasure to have Abigail take care of our older guy. She came over to meet him before their time together. She took great photos of him (which he won’t let me do). She took extra care of our super senior. We can’t wait to have her back again!”
“Maggie did a fantastic job, the pups relaxed around her during out meet and greet. During the visit, she supplied plenty of pictures and videos. She didn't hesitate to ask questions and reach out with concerns. She had a great personality and we were very comfortable leaving our fur babies in her care. Thank you Maggie, we will be rebooking you again!!”
About: Animals have been part of my life since birth, and caring for them has always been one of the greatest joys of my life. I grew up in a home that always had dogs, and when I got my first dog in my early twenties, I continued owning and caring for dogs for nearly 31 years. While I currently share my home with three beloved cats, I’ve spent a lifetime around dogs and understand their needs, personalities, and the importance of making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. For the past five years, I’ve also hosted guests through Airbnb and regularly cared for their pets, giving me experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something that comes from the heart. Your pet will be treated with the same love, patience, and attention that I would give my own family. I work for myself, I have a very flexible schedule and can adjust my time to meet your pet’s needs. This allows me to be available, reliable, and fully present for your pet. Whether it’s daily visits or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they are cared for, comfortable, and never feel alone. I treat every pet like my own, with safety and comfort always coming first. I live on a private five-acre property with a large, securely fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and enjoy plenty of space. Inside, pets have a calm, clean environment with cozy spots to relax, along with toys and attention. I always supervise outdoor time and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and truly cared for.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Gerrardstown on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,246 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gerrardstown. 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 Gerrardstown 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 Gerrardstown. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
