“Karen did a great job with our cat Zorro! She is 18 and so she needs more attention than younger cats. Karen gave us detailed updates every day with pictures, and even brought our packages in from the front porch!”

“Tatum was fantastic! It was my first time using a cat sitter for my kitties while on vacation and Tatum helped me feel super comfortable. She really took time to learn their routines and habits. I could tell she genuinely cared about them and their wellbeing. Nyx is an old lady like her mom, and needs her medicine. She's also very stubborn and needs tricked to take it. Tatum did all the tedious steps and ensured Nyx got her medicine daily. She gave them lots of pets. They were very comfortable with her and sometimes it takes them some time to trust strangers. I would definitely have her sit again and recommend her to others as well.”

About: What sets me apart is the love and attention I give to every pet I care for. I treat every animal like they are my own and take the time to learn their personality, routines, and individual needs. I’m patient, responsible, and always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, so I make communication and updates a priority. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident in my care. I’m currently a ysu student commuting from home in the Austintown area. I work in home health care 2-4 times a week. I have lots of free time to care for your pets! I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I follow their normal routine and any specific instructions they provide for feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and bedtime. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, and a clean and comfortable space. I also give pets the time they need to feel comfortable with me and always respect their personality and boundaries. I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: My name is Ronda. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for years. I have also been a foster for a rescue group for years. Your animal will be taken care of and loved as if they were my own. I do not currently have any pets. I recently lost my 2 senior dogs. I have a home with a fenced in back yard. I also have a doggie door if that is something your dog is used to (if not, it will be closed up). They will have free roam of the house when I am gone or can be crated if that is what they prefer. I will take them for daily walks or hang with then on the couch. Meds, special diets, or any special needs will be addressed. I'll text updates and sends pictures. Whatever you and your furbaby want, I will accommodate. I accept dogs of any size. I currently have a hybrid work schedule, so I am home a majority of the day and I am able to offer frequent potty breaks I have a fenced in back yard with no doggy neighbors. I am also home the majority of the day and am only gone for short periods of time.

About: I had pets ever since I was really young. I would help bathe them, feed them, and clean up after them. I've learned that pets have boundaries just like we humans do. All you need to do is be patient with them. I've help taken care of my past pets and even my other family's dog. I've helped watch my grandma's dog while she went on a one-week vacation. I've helped keep her fed, made sure to take her out when needed, gave her the attention she wanted, and cleaned after her. I even help baby sit my little cousin because I'm really trusting. I have the most pet care experience in cats and dogs. These are the pets I grew up with the most. I can handle two dogs at a time as long as they're small dogs. 0-20 lbs is fine. I work midnights, so there will be a timeframe whenever I can see a message or not. I work from 11:00pm to 7:00am, and typically sleep around 1:00/2:00pm to 7:30pm. Im available most times before 1:00pm. My everyday schedule can be easily adjusted when needed. I would treat your pets with respect and also respect their boundaries. I would treat them as my own and will do my best to keep them out of trouble. If you give me a list of things to do for them, I will gladly try my best to complete everything on the list. To make you feel comfortable I would gladly send you adorable pics of your furry friend. If I have any questions of your pet, I would be sure to text you. Feel free to check up on your pet at any time and I will respond fast as possible. Dogs need to be crated at night, unless they do really good outside the crate, meaning they don’t get into anything, or completely potty trained.

About: Hi! I’m Cass. I have been a life long animal lover. I was often the child bringing home every stray cat and dog I found. When I became a Mom and my youngest son begged us to get a dog, I was so happy. We added Rocky to our family 12 years ago and he’s been my companion ever since. We also have two cats Domino and Luna to complete our family zoo! We’d love to have new furry friends and visitors to come on our family adventures and to play with. I work from home so I am available all day for pet care needs to be able to frequently feed and bathroom breaks along with some outdoor time I have a somewhat private back yard and I will be outside with your pet at all times while they get outdoor time and use the bathroom or I am able to go to your home and walk them in their environment. I also have a nice neighborhood block area that I am able to take breaks and walk your pet.

About: I’ve cared for dogs/cats my entire life, from playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable, loved, and relaxed as possible—as if you never left. I know how important peace of mind is while you’re away, and I want you to enjoy your trip without worrying about your furry family member. I’ll care for your pet with the same love and attention I give my own. As a bonus, I also enjoy tidying up, so if you’re comfortable with it, you’ll come home to a happy pet and an even cleaner house. One of the biggest benefits I offer is flexibility. I work in medical device sales, which means I’m local and make my own schedule. Because of that, I can stop by throughout the day to let your pets out, give them potty breaks, playtime, meals, medications, or simply some extra love and attention. Your pet won’t be left alone all day, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for whenever they need it. I’m very aware of my surroundings and will always make sure to keep your pet and home safe while you are away. Most of them time I enjoy cuddling up on the couch and watching a good show right by your pets side

About: I was born and raised with dogs in our home and I have always had multiple dogs as an adult. My husband and I have fostered more dogs than I can count. I belonged to a dog training club for 20 years focused on teaching the average dog owner the basics such as potty training and manners. My friends and relatives entrust me with their dogs care whether it be drop ins or boarding in my home. I do not currently work outside of my home. I am available to let your dogs out while you work, bring them to my house for daycare and boarding is available. I will take care of your dogs like they are my own. I have a large fenced yard and 3 of my own friendly dogs. I can easily crate dogs if necessary. There is also room to separate any dog that may be unsure. There will be times when I will have them rest so that no one becomes overstimulated.

About: Hi everyone! Our names are Karen and Chad and we’ve always had a love for dogs since childhood. The thought of caring or rescuing a dog has always been top of our minds. When we got married, we adopted a greyhound racer. We had him for 7 years and lost him unfortunately due to cancer. Since we lost him, we’ve wanted to continue helping/caring for dogs and can’t think of a better way then helping others with their fur animals. We know the working world doesn’t always accommodate balancing out caring for our fur friends and work and would love to help with that! Please chose us to care for your fur friends whether it’s a walk or a overnight stay in our home! We will treat them with the utmost love and care! We are available daily as Chad stays at home weekly. Karen is available to help out on weekends. Please let us know how we can help! We have a nice back yard, we accomodate the owners care preferences when it comes to being comfortable in the home (allowing on furniture/beds). We make them feel as if they are part of the family. We do have a dog bed and dog water/food bowels with plenty of space in our 2200 sq.ft home.In addition, there is a crate if needed.

“Paige exceeded all of our expectations. My three large dogs were well taken care of, and when we arrived home, we figured we would have a mess to deal with because of the weather and muddy back yard, but Paige kept up with everything, again, above and beyond our expectations. Paige sent us updates daily, with pics of the dogs. These updates put us at ease that all was well back at home. Aside from all of this, we can tell that Paige is a genuinely good person that has a love for animals, treating ours as she would her own. If you are looking for a sitter, stop here and check her calendar, you wont regret it.”

I love to be outdoors so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I'm available evenings during the week and all day on Friday through Sunday.

Whatever you prefer I can arrange.

About: When you choose me to care for your pets, you are choosing a compassionate, dependable, and attentive caregiver who treats every animal with the same love, respect, and devotion as if they were my own. I understand that pets are cherished members of your family, which is why I prioritize their safety, comfort, and unique routines—whether that means sticking to strict feeding schedules, administering medications with care, or giving extra play, exercise, and snuggles. Beyond keeping your companion happy and calm in their familiar environment, I ensure total peace of mind for you by maintaining clear, open communication and sending frequent updates with photos. Reliable, thorough, and genuinely passionate about animal well-being, I am dedicated to providing a stress-free experience for both you and your beloved pets while you are away.

As a dedicated dog sitter, my highest priority is providing your pup with the same warmth, devotion, and structure they experience at home. I approach every pet in my care with deep empathy and genuine affection, quickly building a calm, trusting bond that helps them feel safe and loved while you're away. You can rest easy knowing I am entirely reliable and communicative, keeping you closely updated so you never have to wonder how your companion is doing.

“Tabatha was a blessing! I felt at ease while on vacation with Tabatha caring for our pets. From what I can tell she kept them on their toes and probably did a better job then I would do! I never expected so many pictures of them either playing, eating, or just being goofy. Would definitely recommend and hope she's available next time!”

Kaitlin is just wonderful! She dropped in twice a day to feed and care for my 4 cats while we were gone for 8 days. The furr babies just loved her and met her at the door every time. She was excellent at sending pictures of my "pride", feeding, cleaning bowls and boxes and even took the garbage out to the outside garbage can so the kitchen didn't smell off canned cat food! She was so prompt at taking in the mail and packages off the porch. If you want a conscientious cat/dog sitter, don't hesitate to call Kaitlin and Joe. I give them an A+++.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Girard

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Girard is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $21 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 October 2026, there are 496 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Girard. 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 .

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 , 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 Girard. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
