Sheri gave my cat, Scamp, lots of love and playtime to help with his separation anxiety and get him through his first time without even our dog here with him for several days.

Five Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Savannah stepped in on short notice for the holidays and gave Bella and Hobbes the best care imaginable. She brought such warmth, attention, and playful energy—our pets clearly felt safe and loved the entire time. Her support made all the difference, and we’re so grateful for her reliability and kindness. We’d welcome her back anytime!

This was my first time using Rover. I am very satisfied with my experience. Lisa was wonderful with my sweet kitty, Fluff. She did four 1hour visits. She kept continuous contact with me and sent pictures every day of her interactions with Fluff. I recommend Rover.com and I highly Lisa!

We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter! She stepped in last minute for a drop-in appointment, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She took great care of our dogs, giving them plenty of attention and even playing a game of catch to make sure they got some exercise and fun. It was clear she genuinely cares about animals, and our dogs were happy and well-cared for when we got home. Highly recommend her services—she was a lifesaver!

Nicole was a blessing in a pinch. We needed last minute care and reached out to her. She was very responsive and replied back in a timely manner. She took such great care of our Tava. She meds sure her emotional and physical needs were met. We received so many photos when updates were sent. Each time our Tava looked happy and stimulated. We will definitely be using her services again if she is available.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and have plenty of hands-on experience with dogs and cats. I have a dog of my own and also regularly help care for cats, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines. I have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, litter box care, and giving pets lots of love and attention. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and always follow any special instructions you provide. As a healthcare professional, I’m also very detail-oriented and take safety and routines seriously. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own! Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I’m happy to make time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and companionship. My availability varies depending on my work schedule, but I keep my Rover calendar updated so pet parents always know when I’m available. I take your pet’s safety and comfort seriously and will always follow the routine and instructions you provide. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications or special care instructions, and keeping pets secure in their environment. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and playtime while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is being well cared for.

Chelsea was great with our cat Minnie again. While we were gone, there was a spider problem at the house and Chelsea went above and beyond to make sure Minnie was taken care of. We appreciate her dedication to our cat. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Amazing dog sitter. My German Shepherd isn’t the nicest with new people in his house but he was drawn to her positive energy and affection she gave him. I recommend her dog sitting skills to anyone and everyone who needs an amazing sitter. I’ll be using her services from here on out 110%. Already planning my next trip.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hayes on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,388 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hayes. 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 Hayes 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 Hayes. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
