“Jen takes purrfectly good care of our 3 kitties. She is really good with our sassy, senior Kate. She administers thyroid meds to Kate twice/day. She is pawesome at sending updates. She really puts our mind at ease while we away.”
“Re-booked Kathleen because she did a stellar job, and she delivered once again! 10/10, would recommend, gave all three of our cats some love and enrichment and sent lovely photos of them.”
About: I got my first dog at 10 years old and have loved them ever since. I love to help get them outside and keep them company. I work remotely and have flexibility to pop in for visits and walks during the days and evening. We also recently lost 1 of our 2 dogs and would love to find more dog friends in the area. We have one senior mutt who spends the day with me and my toddler at home. He is a rescue who can be timid and appreciates his space at times. We love to take him for long walks and make sure he is comfortable with his people and surroundings.
“I’ve booked Abigail a few times now and she’s been amazing every single time. She’s super reliable, consistent, and sends great updates. She even got my shy cat to come out of her shell, which says a lot! It’s such a relief knowing they’re in good hands!!”
“Robin was amazing with our dog and cat. She was so patient with our dog’s anxiety and gave her plenty of love while we were away. She also made sure to set aside quality time for the cat to give her love and attention. Robin kept us updated and sent adorable pictures of the pets. We will definitely book with Robin again.”
“Mariah was amazing and gave us updates and pictures of the dogs while we were away! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who cares deeply about your dogs!”
“Rylee did a great job with Dobby during her drop-in visit! He was happy, well taken care of, and I really appreciated the updates. Would definitely have her watch him again!”
“Lindsey lives up to her five star rating. She was prompt, took incredible care of our cat, and kept us updated on how he was doing. We can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“Myah did a wonderful job with our Stella! When I walked in, Stella was like "oh you're here," which is the perfect and desired response when any of us return. Stella should know she is safe at home and whoever walks through that door will take care of her. And Myah did very well, meeting our girl's needs in our neighborhood. Will definitely rebook!”
“Sadie and her fiance are amazing with our puppies, they get so excited to see them! They are very thorough with what happened during the visit and photos and we love using them!”
“Lauren was fantastic! Throughout the process she was so thoughtful, kind and communicative. Lauren took the time to meet our girl Fig beforehand, and sent us detailed updates each day we were away. We had so much peace of mind knowing our baby was well taken care of!! We are so appreciative and would happily book Lauren again :)”
“Sarah is by far my first choice when I need a pet sitter. I have used her services on several occasions. During that time, she stayed in communication with me, sent photos, kept my pet areas clean at home, and eliminated the stress of being away without my pet. Above all, Sarah is trustworthy and my pets love her. I would be happy to provide personal references upon request!”
“Lori is the best, she is always my first choice! She has been watching my dog for several years and I can't say enough about her. She is dependable, loves animals & goes above and beyond every time she sits my pup. Highly, highly, highly recommend Lori!”
“Amanda was amazing to my Ottie!! She went above and even cleaned my cats litter box haha! She definitely cares about my pets and always kept me updated!! Ottie is a very shy dog but warmed up to Amanda by day 2!! 5 stars!!”
“We were very happy having Mamie (Mary) care for our two cats! She is a great communicator, particularly when it comes to letting you know how it's going with your pets. We have a cat who is recovering from an injury and we could tell from meeting Mamie - and later from her updates - that he was in good, attentive hands! She also had to play hide-and-seek a bit to keep up with our more timid cat, but she caught onto his patterns. We're glad we were able to book her and would highly recommend!”

Hannah was friendly and awesome! She had no problems getting to know our doggos at her first visit. She wrote detailed notes about her visits and always provided cute photos of our dogs. She kept us updated about how things were going while we were away from home. Highest recommendation for Hannah! Thank you!
I asked for a visit as I went out of town and needed someone for the last day as I had no idea what time I was coming home. I gave instructions and told him that he can leave after doing what was asked since I knew my cat was going to come out. I appreciate the stop by and making sure my cat had food as I was super worried that she was going to go hungry. Thank you for visiting and taking my request last minute.
Josie did a great job checking in on our full house of 4 kitties while we were away for a weekend! They got comfortable with her quickly, and after each meal we got a full report on how everyone did. She also handled our asthmatic cat’s daily inhaler like a pro. We would definitely have her back again the next time we need a sitter!
Kathleen is always an incredible sitter as always. Punctual, communicative and caring!! She went above and beyond and happened to notice one of our faucets was running and turned it off for us as well when we were out on vacation. Kathleen is always my first ask to watch our pup because of how responsive and helpful she is!!

We have used Tessa previously and were so happy that she was available to drop in on our cat while we were away. She communicates well and sent us some great feedback about how our guy was doing, as well as pictures. We plan on using her again in the future!
Caralyn was absolutely amazing!! She took excellent care of our two cats while we were away. She’s a great communicator, and sent us daily updates on how the girls were doing. We really appreciated her gentle, compassionate approach with them, and know they were well taken care of! We would definitely book Caralyn again :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Heidelberg on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,648 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Heidelberg. 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 Heidelberg 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 Heidelberg. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
