“Mak was amazing with our cat, Benji. She was very responsive and communicative from the start, which really helped ease our stress during the holidays. Benji is very shy, but by the end he was getting close to her—a great sign. We’re very happy to have found someone as attentive and responsible as Mak and will definitely reach out to her again. Thank you a lot!!”

About: I have taken care of my own and others for many many years. At least 10. Friends and family bring their dogs to me to watch while they are gone. I can give medicine to them if required. They all love playing outside and of course we can’t forget about the zoomies they may get inside. I let them sleep in the bed if they’d like. I love my lap dogs no one is ever to big. I have a fenced in yard for them to run around in as well. I currently am not working. I will be home with your pup all day and night. May call me as early 6am to schedule and it’s never to late to call me in the afternoons. I have a fenced in back yard. I also have 3 dogs of my own ranging from x- small to large and ages are young to senior. My dogs range from extremely lazy to lots of energy. I have one that’s on medication every day. I can also create your dog if needed. I give all my dogs baths very regularly and if you like I will give your pup a bath before returning home. I currently do not work. I am on your dog’s schedule of letting them out side to run and play and when they eat. I have a fenced in back yard for them to run freely. We love being outside so I have fans outside to keep everyone cooled off and a source for water. I also have a pool that I can set up for your pup to play in if you’d like.

About: I have had dogs my whole life so I have lots of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration , and keeping dogs on their normal routines. I’m also experienced with dogs that need extra patience, attention, or a little time to feel comfortable with someone new. I genuinely love animals and treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I grew up with dachshunds but now I have 4 rescue dogs a few over 100lbs! I am a pharmacy tech so you can feel safe knowing that I can follow detailed instructions regarding any meds that need given. I currently work full time as a pharmacy tech so I am able to check in on pets daily around my schedule. Typically mornings before 8, and anytime after 4:30 Monday- Friday. Anytime on weekends Over the years I have checked in on friends and families pets while they are out of town. Typically I will check on them several times through out the day, letting them in and out to use the restroom, making sure they have food and water, and spending a few minutes playing with them so that they aren’t feeling alone the whole time! I do. It keep any pets inside my home do to having several pets of my own.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Headland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Headland is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $19 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 139 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Headland. 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 Headland. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
