“Julie was the best! The sweetest and great with my older dog who’s extremely needy ☺️. My dog instantly took a liking to her when she walked in the door. I received pictures of Kila playing and looked super happy when we had to go away for the weekend. I definitely recommend Julie and trust her with my fur baby anytime. I def will be using Julie again if she agrees of course lol . 10 stars for Julie!!”
“Kristin is a great choice for a dog walker. She is nice and very trustworthy. I feel completely safe with her combining my home when I’m at work and she takes great care of my dogs. She brought them treats and takes great photos of them while she’s here to show me that they are taken care of. I’m so glad that I found her on here.”
“Sydney was so loving and kind with River and Oskar. She kept me up to date with visit and provided pictures of my boys. She took her time each visit made sure the boys got enough time to potty and even have them sun bathe outside. This made my trip much easier. My boys loved Sydney the moment she came to meet Oskar and River. She is professional and someone you can fully trust taking care of your pups. I appreciate Sydney’s help on such short notice. I look forward in booking her services in the future .”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for about 8 years and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs and will follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I know every pet has their own personality, so I’m happy to follow your instructions and take the time to help them feel comfortable with me. I work full-time during the week, so on weekdays I’m available for pet care in the evenings. I have more flexibility on weekends and am happy to work with your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. For house sitting, I can provide care after work and stay overnight when needed. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly before accepting a booking so we can make sure the schedule works well for your pet. I care for pets with the same attention and affection I give my own. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean and comfortable environment, and plenty of attention and playtime. I also pay attention to their behavior and routines, because I know pets have their own personalities and ways of letting us know what they need. When caring for someone else’s pet, I’ll treat them with the same patience, care, and respect while following the routine they’re most comfortable with.
“Elly has been great with Tashie. She always fills out a report with pictures and updates about how Tashie is doing on her drop in visits, and I think Tashie has really enjoyed having someone else new to play with.”
“Regena was amazing! She let us know what was going on with our boys each time she visited and the pics were great! We felt they were cared for well while we were away! We will definitely request her again!”
“I had Courtney stop by for a drop in today, as we had a long day away. My plans changed a little and Courtney was able to come earlier than planned, which helped out a lot. Lily and Elaine were happy to see her, of course Lily still barked a bit in the beginning but it didn’t last long, which is really good for the 2nd visit. Courtney was able to get her outside for a break and a little walk. She checked everything I asked to check, it’s really nice to have her so we don’t have to worry when we need to be away.”
About: Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and attentive pet lover who truly enjoys spending time with animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. 🐾 I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have three dogs of my own, including Sage, whom I rescued, and I’ve also cared for a rescued cat for several years. Living with multiple pets has given me plenty of experience with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and individual needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, keeping pets on their normal routines, and providing plenty of companionship and attention. I understand how important consistency and patience are, especially when a pet is in a new environment or away from their family. I currently work remotely, which gives me flexibility and allows me to spend quality time with pets throughout the day. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and any specific instructions you provide, because I know every pet is different. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away and to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, kindness, and respect I give my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! 🐶🐱🤎 I work remotely, so I have a flexible schedule and am happy to welcome your furry friends into my routine. I’m available weekdays and weekends, with plenty of time to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. 🐾🤎 Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in your home, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fenced yard and three friendly dogs who enjoy having company. I’m also an active person and would love to take your pup on walks, play with them, and give them plenty of attention while following their normal routine and your care instructions. 🐾🤎
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was young—I love critters of all kinds and I am willing to learn how to care for any animal who needs a companion. Dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, rats, fish, you name it! I have owned pets of my own since I was about 10—fish, hamsters, cats, even ant colonies and pillbugs—and I began to petsit for neighbors as a teenager. I'm generally capable of regular house visits, keeping a punctual schedule, engaging in play & enrichment any way I can, bathing animals of any size, and adapting to the needs of any animal in my care. I am not able to consistently walk very high-energy dogs, but if you have an enclosed yard I'm more than happy to let your pet(s) get his or her energy out there. I'm great with low-energy animals who need a cuddle buddy or somebody to simply share a space with. I'm willing to do overnights, week+ long stays, and jobs with multiple pets. My schedule is very flexible to the needs of your pets, but I do have animals of my own to care for at home. I typically do not like to leave clients' pets alone for more than 4 hours at a time during the day, so you can expect regular visits within that time frame. I like to have lots of options for play & exercise with your pet. I don't take pets home, but I'm happy to supervise your pet in a fenced yard or a nearby park! I enjoy snuggles & handling small enclosure pets like rodents, and I'm willing to learn how to provide enrichment for any animal. I'm very strict about sticking to a feeding schedule, but I do like to give plenty of treats throughout the day if health allows. I try to keep clean as much as possible—bathing pets, regularly vacuuming/mopping, emptying litter, brushing fur and teeth, etc.
“Randallyn takes such great care of my cats that I do not think twice about having to leave them behind, and I never worry about them while I am gone. She is reliable and communicative - the best attributes in a pet sitter! I have a long trip planned in a few months and am already looking to book with Randallyn again!”
“Briana helped us with our new puppy by doing some drop ins which has helped with his potty training with busy work schedules. She is reliable and our dogs loved her. Will definitely use again.”

“Crystal was great! I love love love her communication durning her visits. We even sent me photos and that comforted me while I was away from my fur babies. I can tell my dogs like her also.”
About: I have house sat for cats and dogs of all-sizes, ages, breeds, and medical needs. I am learning every day how to keep your pet safe and happy. Pet care is very easily accommodated with my schedule. I tend to work midday a few days a week for a short time. You let me know and I’ll be there! I get the layout of the home and figure out where they eat, drink and where the restroom is. Then I find their toys and treats for incentive. Now I get to know the pet’s own pace and then we will start to play and or sit quietly with each other. Every pet’s different so got to find the way they enjoy time.
About: Hi I'm Jeanette. I've owned and cared for animals my entire life. I've taken care of many animals for friends and family over the years. I've owned many different kinds of animals from dogs and cats to birds, reptiles and everything in between. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats that keep me busy. I've work with animals for the past 18 years. I worked at a vet clinic where I got to take care of many different types of animals. I've also been a dog groomer for the last 18 years. I've worked at a doggy daycare where I got to take care of senior pets and administer medication when needed. Making your fur babies comfortable and happy while your away is what I do best. If they are happy then I'm happy. Hope to hear from you soon. I'm currently not working at the moment so my schedule is pretty open to anything right now. Let me know what dates and times you need me and we can definitely work something out. I'll make sure your pet stays safe while in my care. I will keep a close eye on your pet if they have special need or are a senior pet. While in there own environment I'll make sure they are very comfortable. Throwing a ball or giving a treat, it's the little things while your away.
“Eva was amazing taking care of my 3 dogs! She went above and beyond and even took them on a walk! She played with them and took great care of my girls! They absolutely loved her! I was nervous leaving my dogs for 3 days but she sure made it easy and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing they were taken care of and safe!”
“If you’re looking for someone who’s very reliable and trustworthy with pets, Melissa is your person! My husband and I have used to her a few times while we have been out of town to give our 16 year old kitty her daily blood pressure medicine. Not only is she friendly and responsive towards people as well as reliable. She’s patient and kind with pets. My 16 year old girl who’s normally shy around strangers was at first shy around Melissa but has since warmed up that when it isn’t med time, she will greet her and let Melissa pet her for a few seconds (as is her nature she isn’t a kitty that likes being touched in general unless it’s on her terms) Melissa has her own two pets which I think helps with knowing how to read animal body language but also helps animals eventually trust her. I honestly couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter for the things I’ve asked of Melissa while we are away, if you ask politely and remember she to is a person. She delivers exceptionally!! Would definitely recommend her, but would also use her for future dates if applicable with her schedule.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Girvan is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $27 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 180 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Girvan. 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 Girvan. On Rover:
- 93% 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.
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.
